New York home defense case triggers larger question of citizen disarmament
The End of the Line
I guess they haven't gotten the word...
The thought strikes, every one of these toolkit ideas can be applied by us, and we have a lot more numbers. Or just let them bring it on and we can let them put the feds in the same position these stupid ungulates have corralled Malloy & Co. in.
Bring it on, you dumb herbivores.
Survey SAYS
I don't care what it says. [More]
Go ahead, turn up the heat and see what the frog does. Such foolishness could be the best thing they could try with us. Not that this isn't all posturing and BS anyway, what with Dems all over the place running from "gun control" as a campaign issue.
But I repeat: Bring it.
We grow annoyed at your foolishness.

UPDATE: Workman weighs in.

Any Questions?
Edward Markey is a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, and Carolyn Maloney is a Democratic representative from New York. [More]How about now?

And that hunting BS just makes you out to be a con artist...or worse.

Refuse to Be a (Virtual) Victim
I just changed my email password because of some suspicious activity. I checked my account and see some intruders want in:
I'd love a self-defense program capable of counterattack, the virtual equivalent of aiming a shotgun at the front door with a tripwire if it opens, something that would cause these bastards' machines to self-destruct.
Shatnerware.
Shatnerware.
We're the Only Ones Misleading Enough
Neither have anything to do with the new background check law passed in 2013. But he never told lawmakers that. [More]Incompetence? No ethics? Both?
Back when I was working in the corporate world, if I'd have stood up in a presentation and given management bad and irrelevant data like this in order to influence their policy and decisions, I'd have been appropriately canned after they found out I was BSing them. And seeing as how -- in lieu of specific contractual arrangements generally reserved for the mucky-mucks -- most of the private sector is "at will" employment, there'd have been no suspension with pay, no interminable appeals, no pension and no unemployment for terminations with cause.

But while Phillips' story -- and by extension, "Captain Phillips" -- had a happy ending, the Maersk Alabama has not been so fortunate, facing further pirate assaults in recent years. The ship was attacked a second time in 2009, again in 2010 and yet again in 2011. Each time, though, the assailants were repelled by armed security forces. [More]That sounds pretty damned fortunate to me.
"Authorized Journalist" propositions: Unarmed, helpless victims in need of armed rescuers = happy ending.
Successful armed self-defense = misfortune.
What's the Harm in Taking Precautions?
