Perhaps we should first see if police are better trained and more proficient with a firearm than, say, you. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes the badge is not a talisman imparting special powers and abilities, as much as magical-thinking primitives might believe...

Bust the myth that police are the 'Only Ones' who can be trusted with guns
Crowdfunding project will provide counter to bogus anti-gun ‘studies’
As CPRC notes, the Obama Administration is working closely “with 23 large foundations to organize a push for national gun control.” Additionally, “Michael Bloomberg donated $250 million to Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health,” and “Obama has also been directing federal government funds towards gun control projects. Still other funds are being set up, such as the Fund for a Safer Future, which has $16 million to fund gun control research and is one of the many gun control projects being partially funded [by] George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Recently, the MacArthur foundation has also been given a large million dollar grant.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the antis have all kinds of help from government and “progressive” foundations and the media to spread anti-gun propaganda. As usual, if we want the truth to come out, it’s going to be a grassroots effort and it’s up to us. Will you help make this today’s Five Minute Activism project, by donating as little as one dollar and by spreading the word?
Get Out The Vote — Especially Your Own!
My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.Here’s a question. Without looking, do you know who your representatives are, at federal, state and lower levels? Do you know where they stand on the right to keep and bear arms? Do you know who their opponents are, and where they stand? If not, why not? The good ones need your help, right now, and the bad ones need your resolve to keeping them out of office and power. And if you don’t know what their position on guns is, how do you find out? [More]

"I'm a Staunch Defender of Our Second Amendment Freedoms"
So, Mary, what's changed since 2010 to where it's now a "minor issue"?Having those rights, and preserving and protecting those rights are very important to me. If I'm fortunate to be elected governor of the state, I will continue to support our Second Amendment. [More]

So naturally:
I guess this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

We're the Only Ones Following Proper Protocol Enough
A school’s spokesperson said the security officer followed the proper protocol to ensure everyone’s safety. [More]No doubt he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift, and you never can tell about those second-graders.
Say, "real reporters," how come we know the name of the kid and the name of his mother, but...
Is there any doubt that if you handcuffed your kids as a means of discipline, not only would you be subject to "child protective services"-ordered arrest and prosecution for felony child endangerment, but they could throw domestic violence charges at you as well, and make you a double-"prohibited person." Not that I've ever heard of anyone stupid enough to do and defend something thisunwarranted and cowardly, besides Brave Officer School Safety (BOSS) and the nameless Public School Hireling (PSH).

"I've Been Drinking, So Bear with Me"
Here's the backstory, if you missed it.
UPDATE: And the latest.
What, No Universal Background Checks?
The CIA denied having any role in arming Libyan rebels before the deadly 2012 Benghazi attacks, despite reporting by TheBlaze that the U.S. was covertly involved in providing rebels with weapons during Libya’s civil war that ultimately ended up in the hands of Al Qaeda militants...For The Record spoke with several sources who said the U.S. created a covert operation that included third-party weapons dealers so not to reveal U.S. involvement. [More]Of course they deny it. You'll recall the government denied the hell out of Fast and Furious, too.
It's not like there's not ample contemporaneous proof they knew weapons were getting through.
