Reid pressuring colleagues to approve anti-gun judicial nominee
Reid’s support for Halligan is hardly surprising to those who have watched his maneuverings ever since NRA did not outright endorse him (and conveniently did not support his opponent who had a superior rating) the last time he ran for reelection. In spite of the fact that Wayne LaPierre called Reid “a true champion of the Second Amendment” at a sports center (while he actually disparaged its ultimate meaning in campaign ads), Reid has found new friends he can turn to, like New York’s anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks if anyone really believes Reid's First Loyalty won't trump the Second Amendment.
AMC: Story Matters Here?
In last night's "The Walking Dead" episode, former Sheriff Rick went back to his hometown looking for guns. He said he knew where there were some bars and stores that had guns under the counter that other people wouldn't know about because he signed the permits for them.
The action is supposed to take place in Georgia.
John Pierce noticed it too.

Why We Need Universal Background Checks
Prosecutors say Joiner and three other Chicago men burglarized gun stores in downstate Illinois and other midwestern states and then took the weapons to Chicago for sale on the black market. [More]Say, I wonder if they include those stolen guns when they cite those particular stores as being "crime gun" sources...? You know, just to keep things as fair as, say, blaming rape victims...?

It All Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Fringe" Is
"Who defines what's unconstitutional? The last thing you want is some rogue sheriff out there deciding that it's unconstitutional and then starting enforcing it," he said. [More]So there's no order you would have them disobey or oppose?
Establishment Republicans -- is it any wonder we love them so?
Nothing New Under the Sun
The statistics are clear. There is a far greater chance that the handgun you buy will result in your death or that of a family member or other acquaintance than the odds you will use it in self-defense. [More]How telling their headline begins "No lie"--that's exactly what it is. Knowing most of their readership depends on them to be informed, meaning they'll never be exposed to the truth, the anti-defense zealots can keep dusting off those tired old arguments that were debunked years ago.
Well THAT Explains Those Poll Results

It All Depends on What the Meaning of the Word 'Unfettered' Is

Strategic Thinking
Are you ready? Have you thought through the salient questions? I haven’t thought through all of them either, and we all have some soul-searching to do. [More]Yes we do.
Tank Goodness...

UPDATE: Or maybe not.

That center ring in the Big Tent is overrun with RINOs and that elephants are relegated to the sideshow doesn't even seem to enter their minds, does it? [Read]
Casus Belli
Americans renouncing citizenship to become British thanks to tax rise [More]Really?
Do they know that by formally renouncing citizenship, they're voluntarily becoming "prohibited persons"? I guess it doesn't matter for people who want to move to Piers Morgan Paradise...
Wasn't "taxation without representation" a cause for rebelling against the Brits in the first place?
It would appear the other side of that coin, "representation without taxation," also gets kind of oppresive after a while for those footing the bill...
We're the Only Ones Innocent Enough
None of the incidents resulted in criminal charges. [More]No doubt because they're so forgiving of everybody else in Clearwater...

This Day in History: March 4
After about twenty minutes the British losses were about twenty men killed and/or wounded. Lee's militiamen, some under fire for the first time, began to fall back without orders. Lt. Col. Lee rode among them trying to calm their fears, but he knew they would never hold against another attack. So, he ordered them to his rear and separated the men into small groups - then, he ordered them to return to Col. Williams's location by different routes. This was to confuse Tarleton and to make pursuit impossible. [More]
