With the past hostility of the ISP and establishment media, especially Chicago media, to the right to keep and bear arms, whether this indicates a coincidence or a resistance to providing information on guns to a public that wants it would seem a fair speculation. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report detects a lack of enthusiasm in complying with spirit and intent.

Illinois State Police and media continue to confound on new gun rules
Almost Like It Was Set Up
It's tough to read this...
...without thinking how conveniently self-fulfilling it is...

We're the Only Ones Probing Enough
One victim said that another officer put a gun to his head while Vagnini administered a choke hold, touched his scrotum and fingered his anus. Another man was probed so violently that he bled. [More]What wouldn't such a diseased creature do?
A Mugged Liberal
After reading this, I have a tough time giving a damn. [More]
My guess is, he will not have learned a thing, at least enough to change his ways.
On a positive note, it's nice to see all his fellow "progressives" who ridicule having a gun at Starbucks proven so thoroughly wrong.

An Academic Argument
When Jim Irvine of Buckeye Firearms Association joined the "Roundtable" on Armed American Radio last night, he talked about his group's efforts to arm teachers in Ohio.
I've been approached by another activist, a teacher from Pennsylvania who is trying to get similar legislation passed there.
I have to confess mixed feelings on this. I believe we all have a right to keep and bear arms and that "gun free zones" are not just wrong, they're evil. I oppose the idea of special classes of citizens being "granted privileges" -- just as I did when some in the gun community were stumping for nationwide carry for retired "Only Ones." You'll note that once they got their place at the table, the fact that the rest of us might like to pull up a seat but they were all taken was our problem. And, on a more fundamental level, I oppose "licensing" of a right.
I also have to acknowledge that under normal circumstances, the chances of getting existing legislation repealed so things become the way I want them is nonexistent. And this would save lives and provide a deterrent to something the antis would otherwise exploit to the detriment of us all.
Which practically guarantees the ones fighting this the loudest will be the education establishment...

Cracking the Code
It goes something like predators prefer weaker prey, and only liars or fools deny the observable laws of Nature. [More]

Right, because exposing your utter and undeniable hypocrisy is "trolling."
Any other words you'd like to redefine? Like "common sense" and "gun safety"?
Here's something we must never forget when dealing with these creatures, and why I am so unforgiving of those ostensibly on "our side" who offer one-sided "compromises" in the unfounded, and frankly, stupid hopes that throwing a scrap of flesh to circling hyenas will satisfy them and persuade them to go away:
We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. . . . [W]e'll have to start working again to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen the next law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. . . . The first problem is to slow down the number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second problem is to get handguns registered. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition-except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors-totally illegal.Anybody think that's changed, and that we're not one SCOTUS replacement away from having to deal with that possibility?

Nicely done, Kurt-- I can tell you got under her skin and you're living in her head rent-free with the desperate and pathetic way she tried to dismiss you. And nice "reasoned discourse," too, having her just block you like that -- the virtual equivalent of "La la la still not listening."
You're absolutely right. Being despised by the despicable brings a warm glow...
We're the Only Ones Luck of the Draw Enough
Instead of apologizing, one of the deputies told Guerrero, “You’re lucky I didn’t f--king shoot you.” [More]Nice of you to put the blame on the victim, Ozzie. It sounds like your trespassers are the ones who were lucky.
We're the Only Ones with the Situation Well in Hand Enough
Really? It took 15 of them from three counties? [More]
A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy
One anti-vivisection activist responded on Facebook."You could die tomorrow. I wouldn't sacrifice my goldfish for you." Another commented: "If you had died as a child, no-one would have given a damn." [More]It's unhinged maniacs like these I love taunting with my Center for Biological Diversity souvenir.
This Day in History: December 30
Some time the last winter your Excellency was pleased to order a board of officers to revise the former report of the board of officers on the rank of the captains of the Massachusetts line, some of whom thought themselves injured. The board reported to your Excellency; but an approbation or disapprobation of the report, was never expressed—several of the captains remain very uneasy, and I believe there are very apparent grounds for some of them being so.
