Vigilante of the Month

"Vigilantism"...? [Read]

Really?

That'w what these morons call "self-defense"?

If they really want some dirt on Workman, man, have I got some stories for them.

Of course, none of them will be true, but since when has that stopped these pantie-wringing hive insects?

"Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence": that's a major fail on two claims, right there.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Two unarmed female police officers were shot dead today...[More] 

So much for the theory that they could protect somebody else...

DOJ and Media Matters coordinated Fast and Furious reports

“Nice to know the Gunwalker criminals are paying attention,” Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars observed in his response to the story, which included emails where Media Matters’ Matt Gertz told DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler that Vanderboegh was “three inches away from being an insurrectionist.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some media matters that Media Matters would rather not have attention called to them. It also includes links to responses from Mike, from Dave Workman and from Kurt Hofmann.

A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Holder Justice Department

Well, well, well...look who's been giving them their talking points:

Emails reveal Justice Dept. regularly enlists Media Matters to spin press

The emails sure fixate a lot on Mike. I like the way Gertz says he's "three inches away from being an insurrectionist."  Just how long is one, anyway, Matt?

Mike responds. As usual, I'm jealous.  What the hell do I have to do to be condemned as disreputable by these characters, put a national socialist in uniform?

I'm also kicking myself. Here's an email I sent to Mike and some of our advisers in April:

I also note Holder spokesflack Tracy Schmaler is the one who dismissed our Bar complaint as "specious" and frivolous."

Media Matters. I never did like puppet shows.

UPDATE: Fox News weighs in.

Gimme That Old Time Religion

Don't prejudge based on those words. Click on the link and read. And hopefully learn.

Who's the Embarrassment?

Look, we all get it. He is exercising his right to carry a firearm. But his exhibitionist approach is rude and inconsiderate of his fellow citizens who have no idea who he is or what he is up to. [More]

I don't think you DO get it.

If you can't see something it can't hurt you?  Isn't that equivalent to a child pulling his covers over his head to keep the boogeyman from getting him?

What you're really saying is, you judge everything by your provincial outlook.  When I went to the Georgia Carry Annual Meeting, hundreds were open carrying--in a real nice hotel in the metropolitan Atlanta area--and nobody freaked out because the practice has been socially normed there--as it has been in many places.

That won't ever happen in "gun friendly" Evansville if the very people pretending to support the right to keep and BEAR arms publicly scorn regional pioneers of the practice as "fools."

We're the Only Expunging Enough

Cops shoot Unarmed Man 41 Times Delete Witness's Video [More]

And surprise, surprise, surprise, the dashcam video doesn't support "initial reports" about whose car did the hitting.

This Day in History: September 18

At about 0800 hours on September 18, Cruger’s column advanced down the Martintown Road and came within sight of Augusta. [More]
