Is BATFU Keeping Gun Transfer Records?

Jed has some questions that deserve answers.

It's Your Civic Duty

Stockpiling supplies and developing family response plans in case disaster strikes not only might save lives — it's also a civic duty, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.

What about weapons and ammo, Bender? Why the silence?

A Warning From the Past

READERS OF GUNS:
Take a good look at our Second Amendment. Good weapons keep men free; when you forget that, tyranny increases.

--From Southeastern Shooters Supply advertisement

The November 1955 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online.

Forrester Hit on Gun Control

Not hard enough, if you ask me.

If this weasel is the best the Republicans have to offer, they deserve to lose.

A Matter of Occupation

A state appellate panel Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that Asbury Park did not have the authority to allow Police Director Louis Jordan to wear a uniform, carry a gun and make arrests when he was hired in May 2002.

I wonder how many other unauthorized civilians he busted for carrying guns?

By making that distinction, I guess they're admitting their police represent a military occupation...

The Play's the Thing

And all the world's a stage.

"A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun" looks like it's so stupid even other liberals hate it.

"A Hapless Toad"

For John Roberts, it was a "hapless toad'' in the path of a California housing development that represented the limits of the federal government's power to regulate activities within a state. For Samuel Alito Jr., it was a machine gun.

"A Real Winner"?

Gun Owners of America is effusive in its praise of Samuel Alito.

Some are not so enamored. Mike B. has some concerns that merit scrutiny (3rd comment in linked post).

We need to proceed with caution and not automatically conclude the Supreme Court nominee is a Second Amendment hardliner.

I plead guilty to feeling some optimism, but my jaded nature cautions me to be wary of the hook. The political establishment is all about power and control. They never just give it up.

You're Either With Us or Against Us

"There isn't really any middle ground on this issue," State Police Director Larry Trent said at a news conference Tuesday. "You either stand with the gun lobby or you stand with law enforcement."

You're right, Larry. There can be no middle ground.

Free the Internet

Jason at Leave Us Alone! urges support for a petition amending HR1606 to exempt bloggers from FEC regulation. If they're voting tomorrow, this post may be too late to do much good.

We've talked about this before at WarOnGuns.

My bottom line--go ahead and support the petition, but if it doesn't fly, take heart: They can pass any damned edict they want--I will write about what I want, when I want. There aren't enough of these evil bastards to do anything about it, and it's time they learned that. This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate just how impotent civil disobedience can render them.

The McCain-Feingold Insurrection Lives. It just doesn't update it's website much.

Knife-Wielding Man Slashes At Four Outside White House

Beck said that shortly before noon, a man slashed at four persons, who called for help from a police officer patrolling in Lafayette Park, just north of the White House.

The park is often packed with tourists who walk outside the presidential residence.

No doubt the Brady Campaign will be dispatching volunteers to DC airports to warn tourists…?

NEW!

I've got a little flashing "New" thingie on my blogroll courtesy of Curtis Stone. Thanks Curtis!

I've got it set to last for 2 hours after a blog updates.

Let me know if you're blogrolled and the symbol doesn't display. And if you have a blog and you're not on my roll, contact me [codrea4 at adelphia dot net] and we'll do something about that.

50 Cent Defends Controversial Gun Poster

The film's director, Jim Sheridan, agreed that people were making too much of the poster, and that people need to focus on real guns, and not Hollywood props.

He said: "I'm not really so concerned about cardboard guns on a poster. I'd be much more concerned about real guns. I think they should make a bigger effort to get rid of the guns."

Like most in Hollywood, this idiot doesn't realize that all freedoms are tied together. If he wants to disarm people, I'd like to see him start by trying with Fitty and his posse...

Cops and Robbers

D.C Police say the reason an armed Special Police Officer, who eventually pleaded guilty to robbing a couple in Georgetown, was allowed to carry a gun in the first place was because of human error.

WTOP has learned two Metropolitan Police Department officers have been disciplined for failing to notice that Xavier Brooks was wanted by police at the same time he was applying to be an armed special police officer.

And the idiots in DC are fighting to make sure that the cops remain the only ones with guns.

Cop Loses Gun At Donut Shop

We're the only ones jellied, glazed, filled, powdered and frosted enough to eat donuts and be trusted with guns at the same time.

You can't make stuff like this up.

Registration Part Of Gun Control AT WORK!

Registration is critical to allowing police to track guns back to their legal owners when they fall into the wrong hands...Now if you want to talk about a deterrent to crime!!!!! Because of the gun registry the police can trace guns (WHICH WERE SOLD ILLEGALLY by a so called law abiding gun owner) back to that gun owner!!!Just another example how the gun registry part of our gun control law works AND why we need it!...Making gun owners responsible for the most effect personal killing tool ever invented IS A GOOD THING!

Gee, "Cagerattler," you're so smart.

"Machine Gun Sammy"

Anybody who can provoke such hysterical fearmongering from the Brady Bunch has gotta be doing something right...

ALITO

President Bush, stung by the rejection of his first choice, nominated conservative judge Samuel Alito on Monday to replace moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in a bid to reshape the Supreme Court and mollify his political base.

From Gun Owners of America:

There are other conservative judges who are currently on the federal bench who also have a high regard for the U.S. Constitution. Judge Samuel Alito, Jr., in the Third Circuit, has argued that Congress has no right to regulate the private possession of machine guns.

Tell me more...

Police Riot in Wisconsin

So it's the official policy of the City of Madison -- at least according to its mayor -- to assault citizens just as a preventive measure.

And isn't the threat of that the very essence of "gun control" laws?

You're Quite Welcome

This sure beats some of the stuff that's been said about me...
