NFL and nightclub firearms rules ‘putting guns on the street’ in Detroit

Where people should leave guns when the law forces them to temporarily remove them is left unsaid, but it’s a safe bet the vocal gungrabber means at home. Locked up, unloaded and separated from ammunition. In other words, unavailable for defense. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes more evidence of “gun control” providing the exact opposite results from what was ostensibly intended and promised.

What HE Said

Calling Lawlor incompetent, Burgess said, “He doesn’t understand the laws, and he’s using it as a political stunt to hurt people. ... We’ve actually sued them on several occasions because they didn’t know the law.” [More]

Glad to see the reporter let Rich's quote appear.  I understand the Connecticut Carry guys have been educating him and they report that so far, he appears curious and willing to present their side.

Lawlor, of course, is the governor's "Obey of be destroyed" crier.

What would you like to say to him, if you only had some way to get his attention?

Liberal Democrat Councillor Tim Jones certainly is "progressive."

Armed American Radio Redux

Here's last night's program recap from host Mark Walters:

A continuation of the previous weeks broadcast with AAR’s Washington Editor, Neil McCabe and David Codrea for the full three hours. George Hill joined us in hour three for a fantastic “grilling while armed” segment with special guest, president of Texas BBQ Rub, Mr. Bill Cannon. The hour was incredibly fun and hilarious. Enjoy the show!

• AAR 12-08-2013 Hour 3
• AAR 12-08-2013 Hour 2
• AAR 12-08-2013 Hour 1

It was fun.  And as long as three hours can seem, there is so much more we could have gotten into, and when the whole thing was said and done it felt like we'd just gotten started.

It's a short-sighted move. [More]

We're the Only Ones "And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions" Enough

"I heard (a man) say, 'Oh, you're gonna shoot me?' like sarcastic almost," Haidarasl recalled. [More]

Of course he will.  Any bets on whether this will come back as justified by protocol?

I know, stupid question...

The Content of Their Character

Y'know, talking a mentally disabled person into getting a neck tattoo really tells me all I need to know about the character of these characters. [More]

Ruthless, cynical users like this are devoid of of ethics and decency. I don't believe there is anything they wouldn't do. I think they would not only follow orders, they'd get off on the power.

Why would anyone but a tyrant or a scoundrel want to even know such morally defective creatures, let alone employ them?

My estimate is that if there are no more political or terrorism shocks, gun and ammo availability will continue to increase as prices continue to drift lower. [More]

Incentivized Tyranny

Friday, former Massachusetts chemist Annie Dookhan pleaded guilty to all 27 counts of falsifying nearly 40,000 criminal drug cases, effectively upending the Massachusetts criminal justice system. Dookhan admitted to filing false test results, mixing drug samples together, and lying under oath about her job qualifications. She claimed that she committed her crimes to boost her job performance and was sentenced on Friday to three to five years in prison, plus probation. [More] 

She's not the only one who should be going to prison.

The lack of oversight and audit controls that allow someone to get away with this are, at a minimum, acts of criminal negligence and deliberate indifference.

That's the thing about incentives: If there's something in it for them, that's what they work for.  If there's nothing in it for them, in this case the bloated bureaucratic parasites who administer the system the wretched and evil Dookhan exploited, they could not care less.  Hell, I don't buy that they didn't know and that their incentive wasn't to let innocents have their lives destroyed as long as "management" kept looking good.

I also can't help but wonder if George ­Papachristos tweeted any pictures to her.

The NYPD has ordered the city's 77 police precincts to stop giving out any information to the media about crimes taking place in their neighborhoods, cutting off a long-standing source of information for New Yorkers. [More]

Why does the "Deputy Commissioner of Public Information" sound so damned Orwellian?

This Day in History: December 9

Sir

With the highest Respect I beg leave to represent to Your Excellency, That from sundry adverse circumstances, the principal of which are the loss of that firmness of Health and Constitution so absolutely requisite in the Soldier to undergo the necessary Fatigues of the Field as I formerly have done; and being necessarily reduced to necessitous circumstance by a long inattention to my own private business; I am induced (not from any dislike to the Service I have been engaged in, for I infinitely prefer the Service of my Country to that of any Individual; but by the above mentioned Causes compell’d) to request that Your Excellency will be pleased to accept of this as my Resignation in the Third Pennsylvania Regiment. With the most dutiful Respect I am Your Excellency’s Most Obedient Humble Servan
