We're the Only Ones Seasoned Enough

Oh, the humanity! I must file for worker's comp! [More]

Say, since he's this riddled with depression and anxiety, any chance we could get him disqualified from having a gun?

Last Call

The deal ends tonight. [More]

And make sure you tell people about it.

Ban Gun Free Zones

GOA's latest alert: Read, share and do. [More]

It only takes a minute.

See?

Playing the Percentages

All the antis are doing it... [More]

Which is why we have the Three Percent...

One of the Most Ignorant Things I've Ever Read

The only solution to tragedies such as these is to require "smart gun" technology so that it is not possible for an adolescent, child, or toddler to have unauthorized access to a loaded firearm — that is, anyone but the properly licensed and sufficiently trained gun owner. [More]
Oh, shut up, you idiot.  You don't know what you're talking about. Seriously, you're a moron.

No wonder the academic and media establishments pass you off as an expert.

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

[More]
I love it!  It's a shame --and telling-- that popular sympathies don't also extend to human victims, but this has the potential to draw a lot more who have been previously disengaged into the anti-police state camp.

Help make it happen

War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, and Defending Liberty is Arrogance

If leadership toward these goals does not come from Washington, only the most arrogant American could think it would never come from somewhere else. [More]
So where would it come from, Óscar?  Flesh that out for us, won't you, including your vision for enforcement?

A Nobel Peace Prize winner, eh? With "progressives," every day  is Opposite Day!

The Fashion Police

Wear some of these designs in hive insect territory where even shell casings are "illegal" and expect to literally meet them... [More]

Dispatches from the Other America

"He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past." [More]

They're not even trying to mask their Orwellian ambitions any more.

"A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" is now a bacterium. [More]

There are a lot of things they're no longer trying to mask.

We're the Only Ones "For the Children" Enough

"The subject turned toward the deputies, and as he was doing that the barrel of the weapon was rising toward the deputies," Henry said. The deputy then fired rounds, killing the boy. [More]
Here's an experiment you can try yourself.  Go out in public and yell at some random person from behind to drop what they're carrying.

See if their first reaction is to turn and see if you're talking to them or if they just immediately comply.

My, how times have changed.

And the heirs of Liberty have not only allowed it to be done to them, but in most cases demanded it. Just look at some of the comments under the linked article.

And this is one of the best arguments I can think of for why open carry needs to be normalized instead of feared, condemned and prohibited.

This Day in History: October 24

I would be lacking in recognition if I did not have the pleasure of indicating to you all the recognition I feel for the services I have received from the Spanish in this undertaking. Monsieur the Governor of Santo Domingo had the honesty to lend me, until the end of this month, the troops of M. de St.Simon who were under his orders, M. de Solano and the residents of Havana remitted in 24 hours to M. de Grasse 1,200,000 [livres] that were of the greatest necessity to me, my [treasure] having arrived in Boston, whence overland transport has not yet enabled it to join me.
