Issa notes 113th Congress rules will keep Holder subpoenas from expiring

“Without these provisions, the Justice Department could have argued that its obligation to produce subpoenaed documents expired with the previous Congress.” [More]
Today's third Gun Rights Examiner report notes it ain't over 'til it's over.

El Paso Times repeats discredited Mexican recovered crime gun lie

“Will you issue a clarification?” she was asked. [More]
Evidently not, so today's second Gun Rights Examiner feature does it for her.

Going for the Record

The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. [More
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Gun group says active killer events quadrupled after Gun Free School Zones Act

“As you can clearly see, the frequency of Active Killer Events QUADRUPLED following the enactment of the Gun-Free School Zone Act in 1990,” it concluded. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes an increase that our government told us wasn't supposed to happen, meaning it was inevitable.

"Your Privacy is Our Promise"

That way, when you open your indignant yap about gun control for the masses, no one will ever know what a bloody hypocrite you are... [Read]

Besides, out of the millions who buy tickets to whatever it is you do, losing a few now and then won't even register on the bottom line.

And us?  We'd just as soon anyone unbalanced enough to idolize walking stage props stay unarmed--it makes our job so much safer.

Certificate of Surrender

Coincidentally, I was sent that link by Steve T within moments of retweeting this:
I wish I had the capital to buy the rights for and restart production of this:

It Must Be That Time of Year Again

You know, for jack-booted oath-breaker Charlie ("weapons of war/weapons of death" for me but not for thee) Beck to trot out the inert trainer so the summoned "Authorized Journalists" can experience group hysterical paroxysms.  Does it look like the same dead, hollow tube to you? [More]

And those of you wanting to dispose of "crime guns" take note:
Beck acknowledged that the weapons would not be checked for connections to crimes before being melted down. He said the sheer number would make that difficult, and he does not want to deter people from turning in firearms.
Say, what a convenient way to get rid of recovered Fast and Furious guns...no questions asked!

Villaraigosa looks good, doesn't he? Hiding behind that zoning violation wall with his tax-funded armed security detail while banging the newschick reporting on him gives him a certain glow.

China's government tightened Internet controls Friday with approval of a law that requires users to register their names after a flood of online complaints about official abuses rattled Communist Party leaders. [More]
You know, the champions of human rights.

I guess Jingjing and Chaccha need better tools to do their job.

Speaking of that, everybody knows what a tool Jackie Chan is, right?

Works for Me

But people in this traditionally self-reliant section of timber country aren't about to raise taxes to put more officers on the road. Instead, some folks in Josephine County, larger than the state of Rhode Island, are taking matters into their own hands — mounting flashing lights on their trucks and strapping pistols to their hips to guard communities themselves.

Instead of complaining about their level of training, sheriff, train them.

The Answer

OK, daughter of the Fudd, if it isn't to arm the teachers, what is it? [Read]


She sure packs a lot of concentrated stupid into one brief essay.  Amazing what qualifies for a Pulitzer and a professorship these days, isn't it?

So Much for the Content of His Character

The White House selected Dixon for the task force because of his position as vice president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. [More]

Really?

It makes sense though--they embrace total gun bans, even in the home.

And he now presumes to help decide "Who should actually be allowed to have assault weapons? Should it be an everyday thing? Or should it be a process you have to go through to get an assault weapon?"

"I encourage people to send their ideas to my email address, jdixon@petersburg-police.com." Dixon said.

Well ... oblige the man.

A Civil Debate

Stigmatizing Gun Owners Makes Civil Debate Impossible [More]

I have the same sentiment about this as I did about that "civil tone" we spoke of the other day. Would you rather have an uncivil debate or a civil war?

I've got news for you, pally, it should be impossible, unless you're interested in making concessions with tyrant wannabes or their useful idiot mob followers.  Truth isn't debatable, and any goose who hasn't made up his mind at this late stage, well, life is tough, it's tougher when you're stupid, and when things get really tough, having softer targets may buy the harder ones more time to fortify.

We're long past the stage of rebuttals with those making plans to force their will upon us, and they can't say they haven't been warned.

"In law there is no dispute that Mr. Clarke has no defence to this charge. The intention of anybody possessing a firearm is irrelevant."[More]
Joyce Lee Malcolm's latest foray into inconvenient truths notes the best laid plans of the Queen's subjects and those of the Empire's former prison colony haven't exactly panned out as intended.  You realize, of course, the quote I selected from it is exactly applicable to David Gregory's legal dilemma, those who would defend him notwithstanding.

This Day in History: December 28

On December 28, 1780, Morgan used Washington's dragoons and mounted militia to subdue 250 Georgia Loyalists at Hammond's Store near Fort Ninety-Six. [More]
