We're the Only Ones Unvalued Enough

Some parents questioned tonight the value of having an armed security officer in the Highland schools after a police officer "accidentally discharged" his gun in the high school today. [More]

Do you realize with this and this, this makes a spate...?

The Heartbreak of TFS

Lewis Unglesby, one of Louisiana's most prominent lawyers, said he had been "totally rebuffed" since speaking recently on a radio talk show and at the Baton Rouge Press Club in favor of a ban on assault weapons.

"I haven't heard from a single politician. Pure silence. And they all know how to call me when they want money," said Unglesby, a self-described hunter who owns guns. [More]

Terminal Fudd Syndrome is more than just a tragic condition. Left untreated, embarrassing, unsightly unglesbys can affect all areas of your life.

That's why I recommend Fuddaway.  Studies show regular application not only helps heal the body politic, it actually helps eliminate infectious lumps and keeps them from coming back.

We're the Only Ones Collegial Enough

Manchester Police released information and a description Wednesday evening of the suspected gunman who caused the Manchester Community College campus to be placed on lockdown for most of the day, although no gunman was found at the scene. The only injury reported was a police officer, who suffered a foot injury "as a result of an apparent accident discharge of a weapon." [More]

Thank goodness someone qualified to have a gun was there to compete for the coveted Lee Paige Award!

UPDATE: We may need to create a Lee Paige by Proxy category.

A Numbers Racket

States with the most gun control laws have the fewest gun-related deaths, according to a study that suggests sheer quantity of measures might make a difference. [More]

Looks like bait and switch to me... They start out claiming numbers, but when it comes time to prove them, they smoothly, almost imperceptibly, shift over to rates.

A larger population can have vastly more actual deaths than a small population having many fewer deaths, but because of fewer overall people it would reflect a higher rate.

The other thing they don't is make any attempt to separate any demographics, so that suburban areas with high gun ownership rates by the generally law-abiding share in the collective "guilt" the "researchers" are trying to apportion with concentrated urban areas, where there may be a lot of gun possession (distinguished from ownership, which is a legal term) and where the vast majority of criminal abuse occurs, as evidenced by, say, Chicago, where they even prosecute people for not obeying unconstitutional "laws."

This looks to me like the same agenda-driven bureaucrats who want to use tax dollars to produce "studies" with foregone conclusions designed to "legitimize" citizen disarmament (the "dirty, deadly and banned" crowd) getting some useful amplification from their pals, the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.  And once the talking points are out there, just hear those parrots squawk!

Delegation of Powers

Mr. Holder also said he is not sure Congress could ban the president from using drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil. [More] 

Maybe Congress can't. But I know some people who can.

As I said yesterday, drones are just the tools.  The principle, that Americans can be assassinated on U.S. soil without due process if the administration wants to means they could use any tool that would do the job.

And note the meme being spread by the hive insects that we are not qualified to interpret what is Constitutional, and anyone who would forcibly resist anything the government does is a traitor.

Yeah, but no one wants to take away your guns. Just these and these and these and these....

FBI expresses confidence extremists can obtain Tannerite to make IEDs

In other words, in attempting to justify their concern, numerous non-ET examples, including one outside-of-country, and accumulated over years, had to be given to pad their list, not one death has been cited, and the wholly manufactured “threat” is actually and statistically nonexistent. But it's scary to the uninformed, and thus exploitable in the insatiable demand for more federal law enforcement resources and controls. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner exclusive report includes a link to a document prohibited for distribution by the FBI -- so you might want to check it out in case they object to that and force its removal.

This Day in History: March 7

Seymour wrote, "On the seventh the enemy made a movement and were within a mile of us before discovered, upon which we crossed Reedy Fork and drew up in order of battle, leaving some riflemen on the other side, when the enemy advanced and attacked the militia who retreated off with great precipitation, but, the British not advancing over the river, our troops marched and crossed the Haw River."
