The Hill departs from objectivity on restaurant “gun ban” story

More credible would be the argument that the paper is just doing its part to help the MILMs appear more impressive and effective than they actually are, and to sway lawmakers into believing that. The target readership relying on “The Hill’s powerhouse of vehicles” for an accurate understanding of the issues makes such misuse of language all the more inexcusable. [More]

My latest JPFO Alert notes words have meaning, something "journalists" know better than most.

Piers Morgan’s anti-gun documentary ignores own weak audience appeal

Any Hollywood “progressive” dumb enough to back it deserves having his money liberated and circulated back into the economy, plus the kids who clean up after screenings at the Cinemark will appreciate a couple nights of light duty. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering asks if there's a better way to spend date night than listening to some sniveling subject of the queen disparage the rights of free men and women.

Taking the Initiative

I know where I'd like to shove I-594... [More]

Starting with "Republican" Dan Satterberg...

I'd be challenging the antis, if it's really about background checks -- and not about registration -- why aren't they advancing BIDS?

That right there is proof they are liars.

Arizona Ballot Propositions Analysis

Alan Korwin released his recommendations. [More]

If you're from Arizona, read and share them.

And if you're from anywhere, spend some time on his site, read his Page Nine/Uninvited Ombudsman entries, buy some books, and sign up for email updates.

Jeff Cooper Speaks

Good find! Here's an address he gave in 1997. [Watch]

I've always had a special regard for the man.  Knowing his memory is despised by the despicable is frosting on the cake.

We're the Only Ones Gagging Enough

“He was really adamant about getting hold of our photographs,” Monell said. “He said, ‘There’s a thing called ag-gag out here. I’m not going to say whether I support it or not, but it’s serious. They don’t take kindly to that stuff out here.'” [More]

Thing is, you do support it.  Enforcing it and keeping your masters happy is demonstrably more important to you than your oath. And you will use the full continuum of force to make that happen.

I don't care if the victims of this tyranny are "progressives" -- the principle of not allowing photography from a public road is intolerable, and if it can be done to them, it can be done to you and me.

Besides, look who they're gagging Americans for.  Nice to see Chinese product safety standards are being promoted.  Talk about gagging you!

I wonder who in the legislature they bought out.

Keep selling rope, "capitalists."

We're the Fauxnly Ones Forcing Our Way In Enough

We're the Only Ones Strapped to the Gills Enough

"They were strapped to the gills,” Perry said. [More]

As well they should have been, for some terrorist threat growing okra.

And why only a helicopter?  Where the hell was the MRAP?

Come to think of it, why are you still alive?

Minnesota Carry Day

[Click to enlarge]

We talked about this last year, particularly how the media that's always crowing about "gun safety" in its attempts to ban them ignored a true gun safety event.

You can see pictures of last year's event here.

And you can read more about this year's two planned events here.

If you're a Minnesota gun owner, your attendance should be considered a "gimme," as should doing what you can to spread the word.

Unless you have reason to believe the media has mended its ways...

The Blue Tent Sky

Read about Brian Aitken's ordeal in his own words. [More]

I'd love to hear a government "official" -- any government "official" -- argue for keeping Brian a prohibited person. Why he has nor received a full pardon, as opposed to a commutation, ought to be something the national gun groups with legal and PR resources are going after.

“Can I say that with 100 percent certainty? No, I cannot,” he said. [More]

Admit it: You can't even say with one percent certainty what happened. Can you?

But I guess that sounds heaps better than "I haven't got a clue."

Assuming that you really haven't...

Nice to see the desperate fools being roundly ridiculed. My outrage over NRA is reserved for them not doing a thing about just who the Statists United-backed Prozis are letting into this country in the first damn place.

A Fast and Furious Getaway for Holder?

The bottom line: By the time Holder testified under oath he’d only learned about things weeks before, hundreds of reports had been filed. Vanderboegh and I had our sources talking with Senate staffers by mid-January. The Mexican press had begun reporting on “Gunwalker” by late January. Sharyl Attkisson had begun her series of reports for CBS News featuring whistleblower John Dodson by the third week in February. Also damning for Holder are memos from National Drug Intelligence Center Director Michael Walther, showing the attorney general was apprised of Fast and Furious as early as July, 2010, and a letter sent by Senator Chuck Grassley to then-ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson, dated January 31, 2011 that copied Holder.

"A Fast and Furious Getaway for Holder?" is my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column.

This Day in History: October 3

Can we not with propriety go into a partial exchange as heretofore? It is particularly hard for many of the foreign officers to be held prisoners of war they are deranged and wish to return to Europe where they can be employed were they Exchanged—besides there are many American officers who are deranged Also and wish to return to private life, but are disagreeably held by their paroles these are evils to which individuals are exposed which the public are burdened with the full pay and subsistance of these officers who are not benefited on the whole thereby.
