Why do you 'need assault rifles‘ or 'high-capacity‘ magazines?
"Essential Liberty" author Rob Olive brings up the fear factor, and he's not talking about the show. [Read]
‘Gun-free zone’ enables Texas campus shooting
[T]he college offers a variety of hiding, evacuating, wedging, locking, and other instructions depending on whether one is in a classroom or office, a hallway, an auditorium, open spaces, or “trapped with the gunmen,” in which case the first rule listed is “don’t do anything to provoke them.”This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes in a sane world, those inclined toward misbehaving would be the ones worried about doing the provoking.
They actually say that. [More]
Lessons of History
Moreover, many of them expressed their unwillingness for any further compromise on this matter. THAT was historic. [More]History is written by the victors. Let us be the ones who write it.
Why Gun Control is Logically Flawed
A-yup. Anybody who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian. [Read]
We're the Only Ones Coaxing Enough
A central Indiana jail officer has been charged with coaxing female inmates into stripping for him in return for favors. [More]I love the line at the end about his wife making him unfriend them on Facebook.

We're the Only Ones Aggravated Enough
A police officer is in jail, charged with attempted aggravated murder, officials said. Senior law enforcement sources confirm Officer Timothy Cannon, who works for the Hillsboro Police Department, is accused of shooting at a Washington County Sheriff's deputy who responded to a domestic violence call at the officer's home on Sunday. Cannon is 46-years-old, and a 13-year veteran of Hillsboro's patrol division, Hillsboro police said. [More]I wonder how many citizens he got aggravated with in that time...?

Apologia for Church in Vatican Radio gun rights attack rings hollow
Oh [papal] bull, and "careless" my eye -- how insulting. The buck stops at the top. The captain is responsible for what the crew does under his command. Especially if it involves his senior officers acting in his and its name. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column carries on with a sermon started on Sunday.
Sell-Out Prep?
We're the Only Ones Understanding Enough
"As a law enforcement officer for over 20 years, I understand the importance of instituting a new policy on mandating the limits of bullets that a regular citizen can possess, but as a matter of fact the bad guys are not going to follow this law," said Norman Seabrook, president of the correction officers union, the city's second largest. [More]You can tell Norm what you think about that if you like. You can also leave a comment. Not that I expect them to post this:

A Moral Quandary
So basically, the principal is saying he has no principles...? Because if he did, he'd turn off the spigot and turn up the alternative fundraising. [Read]
Seems to me the moral thing to do would be to fire his ignorant, morally-challenged and ungrateful @$$, and get somebody in there capable of teaching children that their lives are precious and deserve to be protected so they can learn and grow into freedom-minded individuals. Until that happens, the benefactor ought to suspend all giving and find a more worthwhile and appreciative recipient, not that Wal-Mart has proven itself to be a paragon of gun virtue.
Hey, maybe CSGV could make up the $250,000 shortfall, being the big, grassroots-supported national organization that it is ... just put out a call to all it's members to donate ten grand each ...
Making the Grade
Wolf voted for the assault weapons ban in 1994 but also supported letting it expire in 2004 because, he said in a recent interview, “the statistics showed it didn’t do any good.” Wolf also backed the 1993 Brady bill requiring background checks and waiting periods for many handgun purchases. [More]And NRA still gave him a B+?
Live Enslaved and Die
You might want to ask yourself how this can happen in the supposed "Live Free or Die" State. [Read]
Easy.
Local Second Amendment Sisters activists are trying to drum up attendance:
Naturally, this is in full play. I guess it's all an abstraction to most. Still, it is kind of pathetic when a guy in Ohio has done more to get the word out with just this one blog post than the vast majority of NH gun owners.
Not that I'm singling them out as the only "Profiles in Apathy."
Easy.
Local Second Amendment Sisters activists are trying to drum up attendance:
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY, Room 204, Legislative Office Building behind the NH State House- 1:30 p.m.
HB 135, relative to physical force in defense of a person and relative to the definition of non-deadly force.
Naturally, this is in full play. I guess it's all an abstraction to most. Still, it is kind of pathetic when a guy in Ohio has done more to get the word out with just this one blog post than the vast majority of NH gun owners.

Disenfranchising Minorities
And from basic health care, at that:
If you purchase a consumer product in which pseudoephedrine is the only active ingredient, you are required to sign a log book that may be accessible to law enforcement officers and to provide a government-issued identification card to verify your identity.
Are you going to stand for that, Mr. Holder?
This Day in History: January 22
Lt. Kemp hired a guide named William to take him to Capt. McKay's camp on Matthew's Bluff. William did not care for the Loyalists and he alerted Capt. McKay who set up an ambush. Lt. Kemp's troops rode into the ambush site and at the first shot the Loyalists fled without firing a shot, forcing the Rangers to surrender. [More]
