"Home Rule," Prozi-Style

You know, we rule your home. [More]

And state sovereignty means we are sovereigns over your state.

Just like "Liberty" means WE are at liberty to... oh, heck, you get it by now.

No Accident

"I don't think someone would accidentally drop off a gun. I think he purposely left it there for a child to pick up and think, 'Oh it's a toy gun,' and accidentally point it at somebody and it goes off," says Kennedy McClain. [More]
I agree.  Considering what's happening with Target right now, motive is important. Who would benefit and who would not?

We're the Only Ones Buoyant Enough

Handcuffed man falls off Mo. patrol boat, drowns [More]
Sounds like they'll be floating all kinds of excuses as to how a three-buckle life jacket "came off"...

At least they saved Brandon from endangering himself by boating while intoxicated!

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

Ardmore Sergeant Charged with Animal Poisoning [More]

Gosh, and he seemed like such a nice person.

Matter of fact, all of them in Ardmore seem just awesome.

A Dangerous Development

I think new media has arrived when the government is more afraid of the blogosphere than the blogosphere is of the government. [More]
That's not lost on some of us, who take pains to do things openly and bang pots and pans, especially with this latest round of Holderian state-sponsored terror.

CSPAN at GRNC

If you're going to be around Charlotte on June 21, you owe it to yourself to attend. [More]

If you're a North Carolina gun owner, you owe it to GRNC to be a supporter.

A Piece of Cake

These guys are easy. The most they'll slice is cake. [More]

You'll note they don't have the guts to try their bullying crap with these guys.

Drawn into a Debate

Looks like there's some discussion going on and my handle came up:


I'm afraid to get involved, because CSGV might criticize me by calling me "white" again. I will venture this before I need to get back to  work:

Yes, of course the militia was intended to be "well regulated" when called into service. Members could be checked out to make sure the armaments they brought were as required. That said nothing about what they left at home, and what the people could keep and bear when not mustered. As Hamilton noted:
“To oblige the great body of the yeomanry, and of the other classes of the citizens, to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well-regulated militia, would be a real grievance to the people, and a serious public inconvenience and loss...Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped…”
Item two, as long as we're going to be bringing up preambles, let's make sure we don't forget the one  that preceded the Bill of Rights, which made a point of explaining:
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
Anyone who does not concede 2A is a "restrictive clause" on government is quite simply a liar.

So even Canadian "gun laws" aren't "enough"? [More]

The Trouble with Trekkers

So many of them, particularly on the creative end, fall for their own line of Space UN bs.

All you need do is look at the United Federation of Planets flag.

That's why it's no surprise to see Leonard Nimoy and Patrick Stewart made the list. And to see Shatner, in spite of that "Boston Legal" clip, where gun owners think he's one of them because he was playing a caricature of a "right winger," stumping for PETA.  I suppose "A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" is one way of showing Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. And don't get me started on Brent Spiner.

So I guess it's no surprise to see Chicagoan David Gerrold, who's been milking Tribbles for the past going-on half a century, reveal himself to be an unreconstructed Prozi. He just slammed the door on a man who has a demonstrably superior vision of humanity's future in freedom.

We're the Fauxnly Ones...?

I'd still be turning my investigation inward looking for accomplices. [More]

Although I guess these wouldn't be all that difficult to blow up.  Maybe they ought to see if they can find a likely online purchaser, either in Mexico or on the Arizona side of the border, or see who at USFWS has a supply of full-size ones, and if they can be accounted for.

The Official Administration Position

With plausible deniability in case it backfires. [More]

Say...maybe we can kill two birds with one stone, and get the VA to declare these guys mentally unfit to own guns!

An Unsuccessful Late Term Abortion

I always hate it when they botch these things. [More]

I suppose he's too big to just flush down the toilet...

The Bottom Line

That's what businesses are concerned with.  [More]

People who forget that, and who attempt to drag businesses where they have no desire to go, are hardly likely to be pleased with management decisions to minimize disruption they force them to make.

One would think rifle owners would know how to stay on target better than most.

Here's the other thing: As the antis begin to perceive PR opportunities and victories from this, don't be surprised if provocateurs egging things on turn up in the ranks.

Speaking of Gun Law Books...

BFA has one for all 50 states. [More]

California Gun Laws

Well, there's a book that ought to be about as thick as the tax code. Amazing "guncrime" still happens there.  [More]

It's probably a good idea for gun owners there to have a copy. There's a button to browse so you can see for yourself what it has to offer.

Don't MAKE Me Stop This Car!

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned Wednesday that Republican lawmakers would call for President Obama’s impeachment if he released more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval. [More]
Sure you will, gutless.  Like you didn't have enough already before this.

Beautiful DREAMers

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. [More]

And in spite of how NRA grades, it is probably the single biggest threat to that "single issue" our children and their children will face.

This Day in History: June 5

The Regiments of the New York Line—the first regiment of Jersey commanded by Colonel Ogden—the third Regiment of Artillery Commanded by Colonel Crane and the seventh Regiment of Massachusetts Commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Commandant Brooks are reported to be in excellent order... [More]
