Yale gun prohibitionist shows ‘highly developed’ aversion to inconvenient truths

To paraphrase her fellow citizen disarmament aficionado Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of the word “developed” is. In this case, it’s a buzz word for committing a familiar old prohibitionist scam, as the chart Yonkers links to unintentionally demonstrates. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes Opposite Day "progressives" doing their best to reduce a "highly developed" nation to a Third World totalitarian rat-hole.

You mean "with guns by murderers"...?

Oh Donna

Oh Donna, Oh Donna Oh Donna, Oh Donna

I had a girl. Donna was her name.

Since she had her booger hook on the bang switch

I've never been the same.

I guess some people can't resist the "allure" of publicity. Pity. I can think of so many credible armed women who actually merit it.

If anybody knows this gal, bring her up to speed, OK?

At least she's got more cojones than Tony from Maidstone, UK.

When I think of all the good they could do, how many contribute nothing, and of those who do, how many are bamboozled by useless, and sometimes even counter-productive diversionary programs...

A Familiar Problem

If LEOs aren’t being taught that in their classes, they are being misled and put on the street without the proper training. That’s malfeasance on the part of the chief LEO. [More]

First Do No Harm

Instead of engaging physicians to fix these issues, Obamacare welcomes them as the straws stirring a toxic drink of paternalism and unsustainable deference to people who have no legitimate intellectual or moral claim to the work they’re being asked to do. [More]

An Extremist Group of Racists

You know, establishment Republicans... [More]

SPLC said it, I believe it, that settles it.

See, by making this a story in the first place, the "progressives" have a well-timed meme to exploit.  And if tepid Boehner pals are "far right," why what must that make those of us even more "uncompromising"?

What do you mean we should look at some of the race-based groups Democrats pander to? Don't you know that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds?

"Progressive" Peace

Tom H. Hastings is PeaceVoice Director and teaches in the Conflict Resolution program at Portland State University in Oregon. [More]

That must be why he proposes starting a civil war and has created such turmoil, generating no shortage of responsive comments telling him what an idiot he is.

There is one point I don't see made: Repealing the Second Amendment would have no legitimate bearing on the right to keep and bear arms, and even the courts recognize that. He's getting everyone arguing over the wrong question.

Say, gang, I've got a swell idea: Let's have such people vote on our rights!
