“Katy Perry and Russell Brand's Bodyguards Allegedly Assaulting Paparazzi in India,” AceShowBiz reported a few years back. Per the report, the then-couple’s personal goon squad left photographers stranded in a jungle safari tiger park by taking their car keys, smashing a camera, smashing one’s glasses, and beating them up, leaving one with a cut arm and another with “a bleeding wound on his head.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes it’s easy to say your “heart goes out to” fans -- as long as they stay behind the barricades and are no match for your violent security detail.

Katy Perry embarrassment should be over privileged hypocrisy, not guns
The Questions Presented
[More]
Leonard Embody has filed his case with SCOTUS.I know a lot of gun people disapprove of him and his methods, but I'd challenge his critics to look at the two questions he presents and tell us what they think the answers should be, and if they think we deserve to know how the Supreme Court would rule on them -- because if they rule it does not, it will be game over as far as relying on the system.
I'd like to know if continued hope-pinning on the legal system for relief is just a waste of time, as I suspect, but even Embody doesn't give this much chance of being heard.
Rather than being afraid to hear the answer, we ought to have been demanding it all along. I guess some feel if we don't ask the question, we'll never have to face dealing with the answer.
We can't want that frog realizing how hot the water is, now can we?
Thing is, those who know they're frauds fear giving their unequivocal answer to those questions just as much as some fear asking them.

Friday Night Eloi-Spooking on ABC
And some early test audience reviews are in:
Propaganda so skillfully-crafted it will make you regurgitate and re-swallow your cud again and again!
Hoof-clenching excitement!
Baaaaaaaa....
So remember, Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern, Diane Sawyer will put on her concerned face and do her best to stampede the herd.
Criminals for Gun Control
This is excellent investigative reporting I hadn't been aware of, which naturally means no "Authorized Journalist" will touch it. It merits going viral, to expose these frauds for what they are. Watch it and see if you don't agree:
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?
A federal jury convicted a former Air Force firearms instructor from Brunswick of embezzling government funds and selling firearms without a license. [More]$400K in credit card purchases? Was anybody approving this guy's expense reports? Did anybody approve his budget? Did no procurement policies with requisite approvals come into play? How may others have ...um... carte blanche, why and by what authority?
I'm wondering just what the real story here is.

Two NRA Videos
Billy Johnson breaks down the issue of how the U.S. government would have to compromise its values to disarm its citizens. [Watch]This whole thing strikes me as foolish and naive. and when he talks about repealing the Second Amendment, as if that would legitimately terminate an unalienable right, it just strikes me as ignorant.
I got this next one on Friday, and don't really do a lot of weekend blogging, so I'm linking to it now:
Austin Weiss talks about the importance of seeing past our differences and joining together as gun owners to fight misinformation about firearms. [Watch]This guy does a good job.
Perverted Justice
The allegations and charges against Mr. Morgan are flimsy enough, but when compounded by the fact that the trooper who arrested him has since resigned under allegations that he falsified "hundreds" of reports or criminal complaints, this case takes on a whole new light. Upon a review of former Trooper Bergeron’s reports and statements in this case, it was found that the witness statements were written by Bergeron in his own handwriting. [More]Think of the character of those who would have anything to do with prosecuting this case. They sound more like the types you'd want to repel than to trust and disarm for.
The Armed Citizen
Here are some recent stories of reported DGUs. [More]
The Bradys, the Bloomberg demanders, CSGV, Feinstein, Obama, et al, would rather every one of these people had been killed than armed.
They would rather you be killed than armed.
Don't believe me?
Ask any of them and see what kind of equivocation you get back -- if they respond at all.

Contextualizing the "News"
Ezra Klein intends to do just that. [More]
Here's how.

Y'know, I believe it.Unfortunately, the story at the link has been completely changed so this part and the AP attribution no longer appear, but the screen shot tells the story.
Besides, the media's no longer interested because several of the markers they look to exploit weren't indicated in the way things unfolded.
