ASK Tonight

Rob Olive joins Andrea Shea King at 9 p.m. Eastern. [Listen]

A Little Too Much Magnesium, I Guess

I guess. [Watch]

I'm sorry, but this made my day.

Riddle Me This

What do you get when you cross aggressive government attempts to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights with at least 65 million American gun owners, who have just bought roughly 65 million more guns in only the last four years? [More]
Holy Insurrection, Caped Crusader!

Chicago's top cop condemns gun owners for political activism

Actually, it would be fair to say McCarthy, who advocates measures that continue to guarantee the Windy City’s place as Murder Capital U.S.A., has no business being in any position of authority, and perhaps has no business being allowed outside of custodial care. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary warns about a danger to himself and others on the loose.

Last Night's Armed American Radio Program


Last night's show has been posted on the AAR site.  I was on in the first hour, when host Mark Walters gave a corrected version of Obama's "State of the Union" speech, and also the third hour "Roundtable," when George "Mad Ogre" Hill joined in.

The Bee and the Lamb

We all need to understand this. [Read]

Another Scary Gun "On the Streets"

At that point, the victim was able to reach inside her glove box, pull out a pistol and point it at the suspect, police said.

The suspect then ran away. [More]
Damn bloodthirsty vigilante gun owner!

Boys Will Be Boys?

"To me, 10- and 11-year-olds do bad things," he said. "They throw rocks through windows. They shoot BB guns at people's cars. They hit people with sticks, they set a cat on fire. Those are things that children do. But this was a plot to kill." [More]
Maybe your kids do, buddy. You accept those first few examples as normal behavior, and how is it their taking things to the next level shocks you so?

This article brings up another beef of mine -- this business of "protecting" the identities of juveniles hardly serves the interests of public safety -- if there are a couple of proto-psychos living in my neighborhood, I'd like to know about it so I can exercise appropriate precautions.  And that includes any twisted enough to throw rocks through windows, shoot BB guns at people's cars, hit people with sticks and set cats on fire.

"Your Public Servant"

Lawmaker Gets Photoshopped, Wants to Make it a Crime [Read]

Guess this moron never heard of the Streisand Effect... 

Of course bigger fish than he have been caught in that net.

A Greater Right

Right. Now they're the bullying victims. [Read]

We're the Only Ones Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places Enough

The guard recounted how she "kind of got sucked into his world"... [More]

And he into hers, no doubt.

Don't Bank On It

Does there exist anywhere in the United States a bank that labels itself a “gun-free zone”? I don’t think so. I would be shocked if there were one. [More]
Really?

Just Imagine!

“…but the Founder’s couldn’t have imagined more than muskets.” [Read
Bob Owens exposes an unimaginative lie that's become a widespread talking point the antis keep trying to inject into that "national conversation on guns."

Imagine that!

Guns Don't Kill People

Be interesting if somebody did a scientifically valid statistical analysis to test this ideological affiliation premise... [Read]

Setting in Motion

Forces he can't handle? [Read]

Or precisely what he's counting on?

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Effective" Is

What's missing is how many "illegal" buyers aren't complete morons like the one in their anecdote and just do things the old fashioned way. [Read]

No Surprise There

Keep listening to the cowardly call of backing  "lesser of two evils" RINOs and being excoriated by those who sneer at principles. This is what you'll get. Every damn time.  [Read]

The Clash

If I go there will be trouble,
and if I stay it will be double... [Read]

The Enemy Within

Denial. [Read

A-yup.

Animal House

FOOD FIGHT! [Read]
Ready for one here?

Is DHS?

If you control the food supply, people will come to you of their own accord. And abide by your rules. And you get to decide who it's in your interests to sustain.

Granny Get Your Gun?

The grandmother said she had no idea the two men intended to rob the Dollar General store when she held them at gunpoint... [More]

Then what basis did she have to say "“I have to tell you, if they had started running from this property, I would have not even said ‘halt’” ?

Between that and her support for bans on semi-auto rifles, personal defense capacity magazines, de-facto registration and licensing, I think it's a mistake to hold her up as a good example of anything except a cantankerous old woman whose luck exceeded everything else in this situation.
