Meanwhile, a Gannett newspaper in New York published an interactive map with the addresses of gun permit holders, and another of their papers in Iowa published an editorial calling for repeal of the Second Amendment, declaring the NRA a terrorist organization, making ownership of semi-autos a felony, and killing gun owners who refused to give theirs up. Really. [More]"Feeding Frenzy," a summary of some of the more egregious assaults on gun owners over the past few weeks, is my latest "Rights Watch" column for GUNS Magazine.

EXCLUSIVE: Feeding Frenzy
We're the Only Ones Talking a Walk on the Wild Side Enough
Because he had not been fired for those similar wrongdoings, Hochhauser determined that Barker couldn't be fired this time either. [More]Everybody had to pay and pay...
The Enemy Within
I have only one thing to add: There should also be ample rewards for those who rat out anyone who is hiding an assault weapon in his/her possession. [More]Yet this person's Facebook page says "Self Employed. 25 years engraving firearms."
WTF?
I see she's also as historically ignorant as Piers Morgan. And not just about technology, but about how kindly resistance units traditionally take to collaborators and snitches.
Love, Indian Style
Women in Delhi are rushing to apply for gun licenses in the aftermath of the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old medical student who died in hospital last weekend, but most will be left defenseless as a result of India’s strict gun control laws. [More]Sorry, gals. That's the way Rekha and Sanjay love it. So much that they're demanding we import it here.

A Moderate Republican
Maybe we will also disagree about the fact that if the government decides to go door-to-door, you and your arms, no matter how powerful, stand no chance. [More]Not very imaginative, is this no-line-in-the-sand coward?
Funny-- as final as he makes it sound, he doesn't list any credentials to assure us his opinion in this matter is informed.

Exceeding Expectations
Armed Teachers: Over 600 Have Applied for Training [More]But...but...but...:
Ladd Everitt, spokesman for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, said teachers groups have made clear they do not want educators armed.Incidentally, based on that second link and other stuff I've seen elsewhere recently, I'm delighted to see people looking into simulation scenarios.
They're Absolutely Right!
Superintendents shouldn’t be asked to decide which teachers are armed [More]I agree.
It's none of their damned business.
Safer for Everybody!
"It will be a lot safer for the officer and for the person being shot," said Jim Greer, the CEO who joined the company in 2008. "What our products are going to do is stop and defuse threats." [More]I thought the threat of being killed did that.
Safer for the person being shot. Good grief.
If this isn't the greatest technological innovation since the 571B Banana Slicer, I don't know what is.
For LEO use only--any bets their unions will nip this in the bud? Any surprises if someone gets the bright idea to mandate it for the rest of us?
LAPD endangers selves and public with gun safety violation at ‘buyback’
But here’s the one question I really wanted to ask, and since all “official” media members covering the event are evidently oblivious, someone sure needs to: What the hell is one of Beck’s “Only Ones” (and where that term came from is especially significant here) doing with his booger hook on the bang switch at the “buyback”? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at LAPD's Orwellian definition of "public safety." Oh, and I also propose a new "gun control" law at the end that we ought to all get behind--just to show that we can be "reasonable" when it comes to "commonsense" gun safety measures. Matter of fact, I forgot to add that I think violation of it ought to be a felony.
It's Not Just the Second Amendment They're Going After
Hey, why would anyone need to write this kind of poetry? [Read]
And You Can Always Pull the Covers Over Your Head
Not like this, you won't. [Watch]
Tell me their "Only Ones" simulation didn't present a perfect target with no danger of harming anyone else in the line of fire:
No, duh. And there's a difference between training and conditioning.
You go be a rabbit.
Tell me their "Only Ones" simulation didn't present a perfect target with no danger of harming anyone else in the line of fire:
"What we've learned about these active shooting events is that the goal of the shooter is to harm as many people as possible."
No, duh. And there's a difference between training and conditioning.
"We need to take out own personal safety seriously."Some of us do take our own personal safety seriously, Gail Orr-Smith. We also take seriously anyone who would impede our right and ability to preserve that safety.What we don't take seriously are incompetents dishing out the stupid like they're some kind of authority.
You go be a rabbit.
Hypocrisy Doesn't Even Begin to Cover It
Armed guards from RGA Investigations have taken up post at the Journal News’ Rockland County headquarters [More]What steaming piles these wretched people are.
