For Wilson to solicit signatures for a petition that if enacted into state law will do none of what he promises, and will instead victimize innocent people and strip them of their rights without due process, in spite of his demonstrably false pledge to the contrary, is, candidly, dishonest and delusional. He may as well be proposing the forced disarmament of lottery winners and promising similar results. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a destructive way of dealing with grief.

Spouse of slain victim seeks disarmament law to prevent future shootings
Vanderboegh Medical Update
Just got off the phone with Mike. Despite an earlier hope, they still haven't really brought the hiccups under control. He says if it isn't one thing it's another, and when I asked him what they're talking about doing next he said "Rehab."
He did a brief post inquiring about how the Birmingham Gun Show went, and I always like to see him interested and engaged--he says he's bored out of his skull and is having trouble establishing internet connectivity in the hospital.

Listen to Last Night's "Armed American Radio"
Last night's Armed American Radio with host Mark Walters featured guests Alan Korwin of GunLaws.com and Rev. Kenn Blanchard (Black Man with a Gun). I joined in the third hour "Roundtable" along with George "Mad Ogre" Hill:
The Other Side
[T]here’s another side to the story of the Black Panthers, one that involved feeding breakfast to poor children...[More]You know, just like Alphonse used to do...

Loyalty Rewards
In the days that followed, Jeff was overcome with grief. He called ATF’s peer support contact in the evening who said she couldn’t speak and would call him back.I've never been a big believer in "grief counseling" and it certainly is evident this guy had many other severe issues requiring a much stronger intervention, if fixable at all. I just can't wrap my head around how someone could leave his children to deal and grow up with this, which probably reflects my good fortune more than anything else.
Jeff never received a return call. He later learned that she was at a bar drinking with other agents. [More]
That said, this does provide an object lesson for those of you who are enthusiastic parts of the machine: You don't think they really care about you, do you? And won't serve you up in a second if that's what they find expedient and advantageous...?
Q&A
Stand Your Ground laws reverse a centuries-old legal tenet...[More]
Oh, go bleat somewhere else, you...you anti-gun male. And if you're going to wear one of these things, stop popping it out in front of people and playing with it.
Natural law's a bit older than that, and fight or flight is a reaction best left to the one being threatened according to his or her mindset and level of preparedness, rather than some effete regressive getting the vapors over the fact that some of us realize bolting like a rabbit activates the chase instinct in predators on the hunt.
"Stand your ground" really only raises one question, which would weigh heavily in the mind of potential aggressors in a sane society, one that promoted the right and the means of individual self-defense:
Do I feel lucky?
The Shape of Things to Come
If the stampeding herd thinks this is scary, wait 'til they're pursued by more than spoiled punks who have more than vandalism on their minds. [More]

We're the Only Ones Brightening Up Your Child's Day Enough
A 12-year-old girl suffered burns to one side of her body when a flash grenade went off next to her as a police SWAT team raided a West End home Tuesday morning. [More]In a way, they're lucky they raided the wrong house. I imagine a flash bang going off in a real meth lab would have really brightened everyone's day.
This is wrong in so many ways.
If you want to shake your head, read their mission statement.

This Day in History: October 15
Our militia from the western counties are now on their march to join you. They are fond of the kind of service in which Colonel Morgan is generally engaged, and are made very happy by being informed you intend to put them under him. Such as pass by this place, take muskets in their hands. Those from the,southern counties, beyond the Blue Ridge, were advised to carry their rifles. For those who carry neither rifles nor muskets, as well as for our eighteen months men, we shall send on arms as soon as wagons can be procured. [More]
