Kurt says play it with your own rights and leave everyone else's alone. [More]
Works for me. I almost never make statistical arguments anyway, except to call foul on the way the antis do.

We're the Only Ones Passing the Buck Enough
A Florida man was charged with murder on Tuesday in connection with a woman's death at an Orlando bar last week - even though a police officer fired the bullet that killed her, law enforcement officials said. [More]So if they're coming to your house on a no knock raid and run over someone, is it your fault? Or just the fault of the guy whose address they were really supposed to raid?
Maybe they could lay the rap for that playpen baby whose face they flash-banged on the family whose bills they refuse to pay...

Too Far Gone?
What? [More]
What do you mean I "may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves”...?

Happy Mothers' Day
Sounds like too much too soon, which is on the instructor, who has paid in full, the facility, which is about to, the parents, who will have to live with the aftermath of what they permitted, and the child, who could emerge scarred for life. [More]
The MILMs, meanwhile, are no doubt insatiably rubbing blood all over themselves, soon to add orgasmic screams of eye-rolling ecstasy.

Dumb Prozi Columnist
I wish I could post here what I would say to Dan Rodricks' face. It would start with an "F" followed by a character assessment delivered in no uncertain terms.Apparently, gun lovers think such a safety feature might become mandatory and, as we all know, anything mandatory constitutes a threat to their absolute Second Amendment rights to bear whatever guns they wish, public safety be damned.

Malloy intentionally distorting gun group's potential support for Foley
The choice they face is to decide which of their two options available to them -- allowing a committed gun-banner to re-secure political power without significant opposition, or sending a message to anti-gun politicians that there is a price for undermining rights by supporting a moderate -- is preferable. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a rock and a hard place. Wouldn't it be better if we were all involved now, to keep things from devolving to this sad state of affairs where we live?
One Or the Other?
I'm not sure I agree. [More]
You can train and train and train under conditions where your life is not forfeit if you make a mistake.
Were I a juror, depending on the credibility of a witness and his testimony, I can envision being somewhat receptive and sympathetic to a claim of being so flustered by unfolding events that someone temporarily -- for that critical split fraction of a second -- lost his bearings, focus and discipline, and reacted based on panic.
Sure the standard is high, as it should be, but very few of us are put to the test of meeting it while we desperately fear for our lives.
I don't actually know enough about this particular case to comment on the appropriateness of findings here -- I'm speaking in general terms. A good rule of thumb: Try not to induce panic in anyone. Unless they deserve it.

We're the Only Ones Academic Enough
The same military-surplus program that has sent more than 300 M-16 battlefield rifles to local police departments has also sent the weapons to local colleges. [More]What better locations to implement such "progressive" ideas?
Hold on a sec... I feel like listening to some music.
C'mon guys, you can do a lot better than just four!
I wonder if these pampered pinko troubadours envisioned this as where their politics would take us? If they didn't, assuming they were just highly useful idiots, you can bet somebody was steering things toward the inevitable.

An Evolutionary Dead End
Ir Prozi women want to cull themselves from the herd, who am I to interfere with Darwinian natural selection? [More]
There are no doubt very real species survival benefits to having females who self-defend reproduce, and while learned behaviors aren't carried in the genes, the importance of nurturing has a very definite impact on ideological evolution.

We're the Only Ones At a Loss Enough
Fusion has learned that 184 state and local police departments have been suspended from the Pentagon's "1033 program" for missing weapons or failure to comply with other guidelines. We uncovered a pattern of missing M14 and M16 assault rifles across the country, as well as instances of missing .45-caliber pistols, shotguns and 2 cases of missing Humvee vehicles. [More]And what would happen were an FFL to produce similar results?
Anyone...?

Most gun owners appear unaware of or indifferent to gun group merger
If that's true, the scarcity of comments, on the "pro-deal" pieces, bringing gun owners information they have not heard before, leads to the disturbing conclusion that the pro-gun community just doesn't care that much about what happens to JPFO one way or the other, leading back to an observation I made in my first Gun Rights Examiner piece: "The inescapable conclusion is, had gun owners stepped up and supported a group struggling after the passing of its founder, its rescue would have been unneeded." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes, no matter which side of the divide you fall on, apathy is the greatest obstacle keeping the activist community from reaching even a fraction of its potential.
Captain's Log
In re the JPFO/SAF deal, I wrote an update here.
In re Christian's requiring the flock to bare their throats to those who would revel in slitting them, I know a former Lebanese Christian militia member -- good man, and we'd better pray to God we never experience a fraction of what he's had to survive. Also, "Gun Dean" John Snyder has some comments specifically from a Catholic perspective.
In re the Chi-Town phenomenon, as I said the other day, I'm not convinced things have percolated down to the street level on that yet. Give it time, but I'm not convinced we have the data to establish causality with certainty.
This Day in History: August 27
The arrival of a British Fleet of 18 or 20 Sail of the line at New York within these few days has been reported but is at least doubtfull the French fleet are in Boston Harbor and the Van of the French Army is expected at this place on their way to the Northward in two or three days. [More]
