NRA support of ACLU lawsuit contradicts ‘single issue’ apologists

Aren't we told NRA is a “single issue” organization, focused solely on promotion and protection of the Second Amendment? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes they sure don't seem to have a problem expanding their scope when they want to.

Send in the Clowns

It's amazing they all fit in that state house... [More]

Here We Go Again

“He said it was a road rage incident, that they were driving down the street and George pulled a gun on him,” Cornell said. [More]
Understood-- no one knows what happened yet. And understood, every time the guy turns around, there's somebody ready to report it. And there are plenty of people who want to help make the guy fall. That said, he sure does seem to continually end up in the middle of a lot of unpleasant legal difficulties involving violent behavior.

We're the Only Ones Rescued Enough

An armed witness may have been the only thing that kept that officer from a more serious beating, or worse. [More]
"May have been"?

The Esteemed Defender of Freedom

An avid hunter and gun owner, Senator Green is "A+" rated by the NRA-PVF and is co-chairman of the Michigan Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus. As a recipient of the NRA-ILA Defender of Freedom Award, Senator Mike Green joins an esteemed list of individuals who have gone "above and beyond" in the fight to defend the Second Amendment. [More]
That must explain this:
Sen. Mike Green is hoping to ban open carry in schools.
He hope to craft a "reasonable compromise" solidifying the acceptance of licenses and permits to exercise a right.

A Real-Life DGU

No shots fired, thank goodness. [Watch]

I'd be interested in having this analyzed by the "Stop a Threat" panel.

"Hundreds"?

Do you see "hundreds" in those pictures? [More]

We've seen photo tricks before by these frauds to make their numbers look bigger than they are.

Not that I have any reason to think the Associated Press has an agenda or anything...

Funny though -- I don't recall many Brooklyn Bridge shootings, and for some reason a Van Halen song comes to mind...

By the way, ladies, and those who buy fashion and accessory gifts for them: If you patronize Donna Karan, you're giving aid and comfort to an enemy of your right to keep and bear arms.

UPDATE: Workman weighs in.

We're the Only Ones Walking Snorting a Thin Blue White Line Enough

An East St. Louis Housing Authority officer was allegedly under the influence of cocaine when he shot a man during a robbery investigation. [More]
Hey, he just wanted to get home after his shift he sniffed...

Just Doing the Job of Government

You know, securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity... [More]

Hey whatever happened to tolerance and embracing differences?  Isn't our diversity our strength? Hey ACLU: Why so deliberately indifferent?

It sounds like that "neighbor" certainly has created an interesting situation for himself once his identity becomes known.

Everybody Who Doesn't Know How Babies are Made, Raise Your Hand

Here's a corollary to my "law" about guns: Anyone who can't be trusted with genitalia can't be trusted without a chaperon.  [More]

We're the Only Ones Texting Enough

San Francisco prosecutors say they have already dismissed eight criminal cases as a result of racist and homophobic text messages involving 14 city police officers...Prosecutors are reviewing an additional 3,000 cases because of the text messages. [More]
That mean they're routinely submitting people to the continuum of up-to-lethal force without sufficient evidence of a crime. Either that or...

The Voice of Tolerance

I just ran across this video from last year.  I'd love to see this stupid sow follow one of the people actually causing the problems around like this. That she is confident she can get away with it without a response in kind, let alone real repercussions, shows she knows damn well peaceable gun rights advocates are no danger to anyone. [More]

Making Us All Look Bad?

I don't know who the folks worried about appearances think the real radical extremists are... [More]

Can I Get an "Amen"?

And so my modest proposal: Let’s withhold that compliance through systematic civil disobedience. Not for all regulations, but for the pointless, stupid and tyrannical ones. [More
I wonder if anyone is going to call him an "extremist" or tell him he's making us all look bad...

Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave

When first we practise to deceive... [More]

This chart appears to be a very useful resource.

"I Will Not Comply" Redux

The Daily Caller has picked up my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column. [More]

There is a significance to getting such a message seen outside of the hard-core guns and liberty community, and I'm pleased to see the concept resonating with editorial decision-makers who reach a broader readership. That also holds true for the magazine, which primarily appeals to a more general shooting community.
