Where We're Not Welcome

As such, if this unconstitutional ban passes as written, we will comply with your wishes and move our companies out of Maryland along with as many employees and their families that wish to go. [More

Press rushes to ‘exonerate’ DHS as OIG report raises more questions than answers

And we’re supposed to not only accept without question that scenario, but conclude that Napolitano, with an obvious and important vital interest in a high-stakes game reaching to the White House, and an intelligence-gathering apparatus that makes Orwell’s Big Brother appear like inept neighborhood snoop Gladys Kravitz on “Bewitched” by comparison, was flat-out uninformed and waiting for The Washington Post to notice? Based on what the auditors admit they did not find evidence on, as opposed to finding evidence to corroborate such claims ... ? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report  notes it must be nice to have unquestioning media support for whatever you want them to make people believe.

Objectively Worse

"Objectively, it might have made things worse" if the Jews who fought the Nazis in the 1943 Warsaw ghetto uprising in Poland had more and better guns, said historian Steve Paulsson, an expert on the period whose Jewish family survived the city's destruction. [More]
Steve is only alive because American men with guns liberated his mother from Auschwitz. I have no words of contempt strong enough for Steve or his co-genocide enablers at the ADL.

They're objectively worse than Holocaust deniers.

We're the Only Ones Insensitive Enough

Police Chief Steven Krokoff says his department was "insensitive" when it conducted a training exercise that involved police firing blank ammunition and using flash grenades near occupied apartments... [More]
So everybody doesn't love a surprise...? I wonder what would have happened had someone suffered a heart attack, or had tear gas fumes wafted over to someone with breathing issues?

Hey, he's just showing leadership to help celebrate American values...

We're the Only Ones Camera-Shy Enough

Omaha police displayed an unbridled street gang brazenness when they chased a man who was video recording them abusing his brother into a private home, confiscating his phone and arresting him to ensure their actions would never see the light of day. [More] 

What a massive overreaction from these few bad apples. Knowing that can be counted on, what tactical blunders do you see in this deployment?

We're the Only Ones Back at Work Enough

The North Carolina deputy who was forced to resign this week after committing an act of road rage that was caught on video was rehired a few days later, proving that the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office was merely trying to appease the media after drafting a lengthy press release. [More
SUCKERRRS!!!

You're a Racist

Michael Moore said it, I believe it, that settles it. [Read]

The Worldly Among Us

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment that would prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in order to uphold the Second Amendment. His amendment passed on a 53-46 vote. These are your United States Senators who voted to sign away your Second Amendment Rights via the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty gun grab... [More]

Universal Background Check Video

Sean C. Young ("Seanto" from Armed American Radio) has assembled a compilation of "gun control'-related videos that progress through all the various post-Newtown measures being demanded and lead to what is likely to stand the best chance of passage. [Watch]

Some of us have been warning about this from early on, including opposing moves from self-styled strategists ostensibly on "our side" to offer up something to appease the mob.

An Indefinite Suspension

That's too bad. [Read]

I was waiting 'til April 15 to call the snitch line and tip 'em off to some non-compliant "Only Ones."

Speaking of Myths

Among the 62 mass shootings over the past 30 years that we studied, not a single case includes evidence that the killer chose to target a place because it banned guns. [More]
Yeah. It's not like Eric Harris wrote a paper titled "Guns in Schools" or anything...

Plus there's no evidence any of the killers noticed entrance signs or anything.

This Day in History: March 25

On March 25th, Capt. John Taylor and his company of dragoons encountered eight British dragoons near Stewart's Creek. He killed one and captured three. [More]
