What’s evident is that the “gun safety advocates” would rather the driver had been unarmed and the people being fired upon undefended. That way, they would have been able to up their “gun violence” hysteria, plus they would have had fresh blood to dance in and exploit for more citizen disarmament edicts. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes more people are starting to realize the truth doesn't match the desperate gun-grabber narrative.

Chicago defensive gun use refutes ‘gun safety advocate’ contentions
Hump Day in Salem
Oregon gun owners need to involve themselves in the House Rules Committee hearing on SB 941. [More]
A Major Shift
According to the Pew report, more people believe it is important to protect the rights of gun owners (52%) than to place additional controls on them (46%). The report also said support for gun control has fallen, whether you believe crime in the United States has dropped or not. [More]That's great. Now if you could only convince Alan that the Pew folks are the same ones who show the inconvenient truth about amnesty being a danger to gun rights, so it is not consistent to accept their figures in one instance an not in another -- unless a documented case to doubt those figures can be made.
Barring that, his endorsement of Grover Norquist makes no sense. And now that he's on record supporting making politicians pay for PRIVACY violations in a recent CCRKBA alert, there goes that "single issue" excuse.
Design Flaw
The Vermont House on Friday passed a bill designed to keep guns out of the hands of convicted felons and people who are dangerously mentally ill. [More]What it actually will and won't do should come as no surprise to anyone who is not an ignorant dupe.
True Costs, "Progressive" Style
A lot of who is racking up those costs has been left out, along with how the benefits of lives saved factor in, and what the true costs would be if good people were disarmed... [More]
And Thank You for Your Service
“According to the Congressional Research Service, as of June 1, 2012, 99.3% of all names reported to the NICS list’s ‘mental defective’ category were provided by the Veterans Administration (VA) even though reporting requirements apply to all federal agencies,” Mr. Grassley’s letter said. [More]OK. Next we need to ask who supported NICS as an acceptable "compromise" in the first place, and then ask who is surprised the antis are using that surrendered beachhead to launch deeper assaults?
We're the Only Ones Going Out with a Bang Enough
A psychiatrist has already testified in support of the insanity defense... [More]It sounds like he isn't the Only One who was nuts.
Read My Lips: No New Bushes
There is no way I will vote for this subversive. I don't care who his opponent is or what the gunquislings urge. [More]
At that point the new paradigm will kick in full time.

Opposite Day "Progressives" for Hillary
Oh, and if you don't know what that word means, you may wish to stay blissfully ignorant.
And then we have the "progressive" feminists, submissive to a pimp, who all seem oblivious to the radical lesbian contention that male penetration is patriarchal rape (whereas strap-ons evidently represent the epitome of liberation).
I can't help but wonder if any of this could be considered a contribution in-kind...

Vermin Bendimover
Yeah, I know, ad hominem, but I don't have time to fisk this lying ignoramus, and besides, the hell with him. [More]
I will give you one example that shows he started it anyway:
One of the things that always strikes me about these anti-gun males is how they're so quick to weigh in on uselessness of guns as a means of defense like they have expertise, without ever being able to cite what trainers they've studied under to be qualified to offer an informed opinion. What it looks like is they insist on everyone being like them.

We're the Only Ones Pooped Out Enough
"TSA will not discuss the mission activities of Federal Air Marshals," Pascarella said in an email. [More]Talk about weasel-wording by euphemism. But now you can excuse yourself to go take a mission activity.
This is hardly the first time we've seen this happen.
Some of the excuse-makers in comments deserve to be flushed.

That Depends on What the Meaning of the Word 'Inappropriate' Is
The "progressivism" is strong in Milford, MI. [More]
And here are the main proponents.
If the objections revolved around the appropriateness of coercing money out of individuals to build communal playgrounds in the first place, that's a different argument. But they didn't. And the stated concerns reminded me of nothing so much as an absurdity skewered on South Park...
The goal is not just to eliminate guns.

The Rest of the Story
When I was posting my article on the Reese family's settlement agreement yesterday, I couldn't get the slide show function on the publishing tool to work. Rather than wait around for a tech support crew that seems to punt more issues than resolve them, I'm just going to post here some photos I intended to include about some of the assets seized, including guns, ammo and safes.
We're the Only Ones ... What Do You Mean We're Not?
Wait -- you mean we're being treated just like everyone else? [More]
What with Opposite Day being in full effect 'n all, it figures a "progressive" vision treatment center would be this blind.
It also seems fair to wonder what the cultural influences on the proprietor have been, and whose interests it serves importing and distributing such sentiment.

There Had to Be Armbands
I'd love to see the procurement specs on those...I went looking over at FedBizOpps.gov and got lost in the archives... [More]
I also can't help but wonder why an environmental impact statement requirement was upheld by a federal judge on the guns in national parks issue, but on issues benefiting Leviathan, everybody looks the other way.
Fortunately, WaPo says there's nothing to worry about, and when have they ever been less than reliable as a watchdog against government abuses?
