A Pig in a Polk

Nope--nothin' about "Gunwalker." [Read]

The "Authorized Journalists" keep trying to tell us it just isn't a story...that some mere bloggers might think otherwise only illustrates our lack of professional standards...

UN Arms Trade Treaty: It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘consensus’ is

How unsurprising that the Clintonian "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is” deception has now been reanimated to apply to the word “consensus.” And how revealing of the character of those behind the move. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that words have meaning. And those who would redefine them have agendas.

We're the Only Ones Trained Enough

The training director for the Wisconsin Department of Justice is recovering from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand. [More]

Well, hell, if that can happen to a trained professional, we'd best just keep those dangerous instruments away from us mere amateurs...

Just a Typical Gun Owner for Common Sense Laws

"My son was shot and killed in 1997 and ... I don't want bad guys to have guns, it's simple," Jenkins said. [More]

What makes him think Rahm isn't a "bad guy."

And his "solution" is to register everyone who's not?  Because criminals don't have to register theirs.  Unless you're this kind of criminal.

And I like how Jenkins is presented as no lobbyist or activist of any kind, just an ordinary gun owner... That Samson Adams is quite the "Authorized Journalist," is he not?

Yeah, he's no activist, he's just someone who publicly argues not only for licensing and registration, but against concealed carry and owning "military grade guns"...and writes books, and supports the Bradys and the Million Moms--you know, just your typical gun owner who calls anyone who disagrees with him "insane."

Hell, he even advocates endangering our lives:

Report all instances of public gun possession outside of accepted areas like gun ranges. Insist that the police follow up on your call, because we can't trust gun owners.

Maybe one of us who are breaking no laws can get shot when they prone us out to get a paid vacation? 


My natural inclination is to feel sympathy and compassion for anyone who has suffered a soul-wrenching loss. But you don't get to attack, and then use that loss to shield from the deserved response anyone else would get.

For the Children

Looks like last week's submission wasn't good enough to make the cut.

Still, I can't help but notice something that is shocking, and that no tolerant progressive should tolerate!

We can't allow that! Who can we progressives, who look to government for everything, turn to in order to ensure that a child's safety and welfare are the primary concern?

California Department of Social Services to the rescue!

Gosh, it's almost as if somebody wants to create a dependency system crisis and resulting demands for even more government control...

We're the Only Ones Instructive Enough

The wife of a Spartanburg County sheriff's deputy was accidentally shot Saturday during a concealed weapons permit class instructed by another deputy. [More]

That's pretty advanced stuff. I didn't know they taught the modified Paige grip in the basic class...

We're the Only Ones Taking a Back Seat to No One Enough

Akron Municipal Court Judge Joy Malek Oldfield is denying a police officer’s contention that he found her and a public defender partially clothed in the back seat of a car that smelled of alcohol. [More]

Your honor, may I approach the bench (seat)?

This Day in History: February 20

The English squadron sailed from Gibraltar the 13th instant, and part of it is said to be destined for the West Indies. The French will have seventy-two sail of the line in actual service this year. The troops at the disposition of the person mentioned in the letter No ],t [sic] to Mr. Jay, will amount to near four thousand, and consist chiefly of Germans; six sail of the line will escort them, and I am well informed they will sail in less than two months. It is said the English ministry will be able to procure the necessary supplies for the present year owing to their late successes. [More]
