American Trigger Sports Network Television hosts gun rights panel and more

I’m getting ready to leave in a few hours for Houston, where I’ll be participating in panel discussions on American Trigger Sports Network Television about gun rights-related issues with host James Towle and fellow panelists Mark Walters of Armed American Radio, Barbara Crown of The Hunting Report, and author/former legislator Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column indicates I'll soon be subjecting myself to the tender ministrations of TSA--assuming I don't find myself on the Domestic Extremist No Fly List.

I also included my ATSNTV Rand Paul interview for those who haven't seen it.

When Gun-Shaped Pizza Slices Are Outlawed...

Good grief. Really? [More]

And wtf is "silent lunch"? How is it any less cruel to peer-conscious kids than making them wear a dunce cap, and how does encouraging that meld with all those "anti-bullying" campaigns schools "teach" these days--you know, the ones that punish those who fight back in self-defense along with the aggressors?
 
Here, James Evans--wash this off and stick it back in. And try to keep it from popping out next time.

And "Mom"--with all the other identifying information in this story, way to go telling the whole damn world you don't have a gun in your house.

A "Reasonable" Alternative

It is, however, reasonable to ask whether deterrents without the potential lethality of firearms might be better suited for college campuses. Encouraging all students to arm themselves with pepper spray, or offering self-defense instruction to all students, might be just as effective in keeping criminals away from college campuses as allowing a fraction ­— albeit a sizable cohort — of those students to carry concealed weapons. [More]

Boy, they were doing their best to sound like they wanted to give all sides credence and then they pulled this horsesh*t.

See, thing is, if those alternatives are "better suited to college campuses," then they're better suited everywhere.

Tell you what, unknown editorialist--why don't we set up a test?  You with pepper spray and whatever martial art you've gone to some summary classes on, against a psychotropic drug-addled sociopath with firepower that will take you out from a distance.


Ready, set, GO...

Sure are a lot of dumb people at institutes of higher learning...

A New York State of Mind

So let me get this straight--when it comes to New York accepting a national standard, Vance pleads "home rule." But then he turns around and wants to impose New York rules on everybody everywhere else. [Read]

I guess propaga...uh...reporter Sally Goldenberg couldn't find any alternative viewpoints to consult to lend balance this "straight news" piece and correct some of its "misassumptions"?

Sipsey Street Scrutiny?

I am told that I will be the focus of a forensic email audit to find out who tipped me off. [More]

Jeez--noting whose Scribd account someone talked someone into posting the latest on, I wonder if we'll be in the same barracks at the fedlager?

Say, that's not a bad concept for a TV pilot...Vanderboeghans Heores.

The thing will practically cast itself...

This Day in History: December 16

The Frigate the Sensible, is found to be in so bad a Condition, that I am advised by every body to go to France by Land.—The Season, the Roads, the Accommodations for travelling are so unfavourable, that it is not expected I can get to Paris in less than thirty days. But if I were to wait for the Frigate it would probably be much longer. I am determined therefore to make the best of my Way by Land. And it is possible that this Journey may prove of some Service to the Public, at least I hope the Public will sustain no loss by it, though it will be tedious and expensive to me. [More]
