NRA opposition to Surgeon General nominee lacks credible deterrent

That’s why it’s unfathomable why NRA did not indicate it would score a vote for Murthy against the NRA grade for any Senator helping to confirm him, just as it did against during the nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes bad behavior rarely improves without consequences to discourage it. That’s true with pets, with children, with criminals, and especially with politicians.

I Need a Drink


You have to wonder at the mentality of anyone who would find this informative or likeable. [Watch]

Still, it is impressive how he has Joe trained to heel without a leash.

We're the Only Ones Begging Enough

Funny, how that works... [More]

And of course no one is guilty.

I wonder if there will be any movement to try and establish otherwise...

El CampeĆ³n Gris

"At no time did I order anyone to commit violence," he said, after the government said his tweet giving defense advice caused a death. "I was helping unarmed civilians defend themselves….A priest recommends prayer, a doctor recommends medicine, a military man recommends how to defend." [Mas]

When May I Shoot a Student?

That decision won't be a problem for you, Greg. [More]

It never is for your type.

Still, as long as we're going for snarky laughs, why not describe what you'd be capable of doing if the situation ever imposed itself on you...?

MILMs


You know, Moms I'd Like to Mock...

(a.k.a. "Useful Idiettes")

So as Not to Offend

Damned American flag--I can see why it would incite violence! [More]

And the kid who wore one on his shirt, like he had some kind of rights or something? His kind aren't welcome here!

Note to Circuit Judge McKeown and all you other robed subversives: There is nothing "delicate" about the relationship of our rights to your edicts.

Cause and Effect

I'm sure the folks doing all the spiking would be deterred by permitting, just like in DC and Chi-Town. [More]

Dang. If this is true, and if unpermitted guns are the cause, I and practically everybody I know had better evacuate our homes.  We're just lucky tragedy hasn't struck throughout the decades from our foolish reliance on self control and personal responsibility.

Thanks, Barbara Shelley!  Now that I know, I'll go get permission from my Prozi rulers and make things safe again.

Oh, and I would be careful about telling people I troll if I were you...

The White House is hosting a student film festival. [More]

So naturally... [Watch]

Let's see, "Directed and edited by Gabe Garcia...Narrated by Karen Villalbazo"...

Funny, no mention of Fast and Furious.

Also funny how their project is titled "Beyond the Crossfire," as what makes school shooters so successful is the firing generally comes from only one point, and it's not until the reality of return fire manifests that things get forced to an end.

"A social justice research project..."

The brainwashing is strong in these young collectivists.

Hey, "This Little Light of Mine" is a gospel song-- I didn't know you could do that on "public school property." 

Feelings, Nothing More than Feelings

With bargain-basement pricing and a cheeky slogan — “Defending those who defend themselves” — the venture seeks to tap into a feeling among some gun owners that the right to bear arms is under attack. [More]
Everybody sees what "legitimate news media's Authorized Journalist/real reporter" Laura Vozella just did here, right?
