We’re not talking about some random anti-gun zealot here, someone who can be just dismissed as an inconsequential kook who doesn’t speak for doctrinaire anti-gunners. He is, according to his newspaper bio, “a retired diplomat [and] a member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.” [More]My latest "Rights Watch" column for Guns Magazine, "The End Game," starring Homer Simpson's dumber brother, is now online.

The End Game
Vanderboegh Medical Update
I didn't post anything yesterday because he'd told me he was planning to. When I didn't see anything, and nothing for today, I was figuring another step back.
He just called. He's struggling but thinks he's on the mend and may post later today.

Bill O’Reilly perpetuates Fast and Furious ‘screw up’ meme
“Why the big cover up unless there’s something there they’re covering up,” Walsh responded.
“Like what?” O’Reilly challenged. “A bribe? I mean, what could it possibly be?” [More]

Except I did nothing of the kind.
Sometimes, a little paranoia is warranted, especially knowing Sipsey Street was hacked a while back, as was the email account of one of Mike's and my key advisers. Anyone else on Blogger notice this before?

California gun owners have already bent over to such ridiculous lengths that they tolerate insults like "bullet buttons." As Brian Puckett wrote years back:
I've emailed the gun show proprietors and asked them if they post signs prohibiting unauthorized photographs and recording of patrons and dealers. I also note the covert video includes audio, and California appears to be a two-party consent state, which raises the question of whether or not our intrepid "undercover reporters" were the only lawbreakers in the room--funny, though, how they choose not to do covert ops against the population causing all the "gun" problems.
Anyone familiar with the law there who can give an authoritative interpretation of this, please chime in and educate us.

We're the Only Ones On ICE Enough
His son, also named James Woosley, and live-in girlfriend, Lateisha Rollerson -- both ICE employees -- allegedly ran the scam out of the elder Woosley's two Virginia homes. [More]Hey, at least they weren't stiffing South American whores.
