Baltimore riots highlight ‘progressive’ paradox on guns and police

High-profile shootings of black males continue to occur in cities where “progressive” Democrats run things. Yet in spite of that, they embrace “gun control,” that is, a system where police are the “only ones” trusted to keep and bear arms. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks what can be done when the "Only Ones" have no intention of protecting you, and notes an answer from a generation past.

We're the Only Ones Consistent Enough

"...the police subject these individuals to intrusive searches unless they can prove their innocence. Our case law considers such a policy consistent with the Fourth Amendment..." [More]
At least they're consistent...

Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings

“If a ban on semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit.” [More]
The subversive dolt who wrote that asinine opinion is a Reagan appointee.

If that surprises anyone, they haven't been paying attention.

American Association of Restrained Persons?

The original... curiously discouraging people from sharing...

With subtitling... (It sure sounds like they're on to something)...

Lotta chatter out there.

A Mad Entitlement

Far be it from me to cast aspersions on the ethics professional skills of a paid anti-self-defense hack Ph.D.-holding Hahvahd Professah, but looking at how he conducted this “study” and presents his data reminds me of an old Mad Magazine cartoon where a pollster guarantees a politician results that he’ll like.
