We're the Only Ones Wrong Enough But We'll Assault Your Kids Anyway

A cop accused a fast food worker of short-changing him. Then he sprayed her in the face with mace. And it turns out she was right all along. [More]

What a big, brave man.

My favorite line:

"Officer McDonald was cleared of any wrongdoing."

Yes.

Of course he was.

Night of the Evil Streets

Seven years ago, the streets swallowed up Clifton Montgomery and spat him into an Ohio prison after he was convicted of aggravated robbery and burglary...Money drove Montgomery, who was released from prison more than a month ago. Now he wants to steer youth away from the route he took.

Montgomery is one of many local people featured in Peace by Peace, an anti-gun violence documentary...

Yeah, the streets do that to me all the time, too. It's not like I have free will or anything.

Sorry, Clifton. You've only been out a month. You've got a lot of proving to do before I'll want you anywhere near me. In the meantime, if you don't mind, or especially if you do, I'll keep some firearms handy over here.

Just in case those streets work their mind-consuming magic on you again...

We're the Only Ones Off Duty Enough

A gun stolen from a high ranking San Antonio police officer's car is now in the hands of thieves.

It happened at Tokyo Steakhouse off of San Pedro Wednesday evening, while Deputy Chief Rudy Gonzales was at the restaurant off-duty.

Way to go, Rudy. Now, when some lowlife pops a cap into somebody with your negligently stored gun, maybe the San Antonio SWAT team can raid the wrong house again, and you can be out in front of the microphones swearing "everything was done by procedure."

We're NOT the Only Ones...

A 38-year-old man was kidnapped in front of his house Thursday morning by three men armed with guns and dressed as police, authorities confirmed.

And when you're conditioned to automatically submit to authority...

The 81-Year-Old Woman Could Only Watch Helplessly...

AN ELDERLY woman watched in terror as robbers shoved a gun in her son's mouth.

The 81-year-old woman could only watch helplessly after three men forced their way into her flat demanding cash and threatening her son at gunpoint.

What kind of sick control freak would demand a mother be helpless to protect her child? Or that a man should be helpless to protect his aged mother? And what degeneration of the human spirit must occur for sovereign, free-willed individuals to accept this as their lot in life?

Bloomberg Plots Surprise Suspension of 4th Amendment

As New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg explained it, safety officers will use mobile scanners starting this spring, allowing them to make unannounced visits to city middle and high schools to check for weapons.

Students will be asked to go through detectors similar to those used in airports.

"Our reasons for doing this couldn't be clearer or more compelling," said Bloomberg. "We have zero tolerance for weapons of any kind in city schools."

Plus, our desire to indoctrinate them into the mindset of being inmates instead of citizens couldn't be more clear and compelling, either.

Any bets Mikey's taxpayer-funded bodyguards observe his zero tolerance policy when he visits a stalag...I mean...campus?

Mr. Darwin, the New Nominee Has Arrived...

Police officials said Barcott was visiting friends when he retrieved a gun and suggested they play Russian Roulette. He then loaded one bullet into the cylinder, spun it and closed it.

His friends told him not to fire, but Barcott put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, police officials said.

Maybe if California passed a law making it illegal to "sell a handgun to an individual under 21 years of age..."

What? They already did?

Then how did this happen?

Anti-Gun Film DOA

Guns are bad. They fire bullets. They hurt people.

That's the message "American Gun" hits its audience over the head with, using all the grace and finesse of a pistol whipping.

Boring, overbearing, repetitive and negative: Yep, sounds like the antis to me.

Suspect Restraining Techniques: An Open Inquiry

This is addressed to anyone who has knowledge and training in restraining suspects.

Look at the photo posted at here.

Is this a standard restraining technique for cuffed, prone suspects? Is there a name for this maneuver? Who teaches it?

I know LAPD was banned several years back from employing a chokehold, and there are guidelines specifying approved restraining techniques. Does anyone know of any reviewed and approved guidelines recommending the technique being employed in the photo, and if so, can you tell us the agencies that use it or provide documentation to substantiate it is a common and safe practice?

Proof--Say It Ain't So...

Word is hot all over the Detroit news that slain rapper Proof is actually the one who started the gun battle that ended with his death at an illegal Detroit, Michigan nightclub yesterday...

Who cares who started it? The point is, if it hadn't been for evil guns, we'd still have this role model elevating America's youth with such poetic inspiration as:

Just bring who you gon' bring on, who you gon' swing on?
I'm King Kong, guns blow you to king-dom come
Show you machine gun funk
Sixteen m-16's and one pump [click-clack]
The snub in my paw, shove it in your jaw
Have you runnin out this fuckin club in your drawers
We lovin the broads, there's nothin to applaud
But fuck it it's all good, the hood is up in The Source
It's fight music

Rest, my brother. God, I miss you so much.

No Guns Bank Robbed With No Gun

A man entered the bank and claimed to have a gun but didn't show one...

And it's a good thing he didn't! Fifth Third Bank doesn't allow guns!

Ad Campaign to Deter "Gun Crime"

If you get caught with a gun on a felony charge, you're going to jail -- for a long time.

That's the message of an awareness campaign the Riviera Beach and West Palm Beach police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced Wednesday.

Your tax dollars at work.

Not Right From a Federal Standpoint

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm agents, on campus Tuesday for Project Safe Neighborhoods training, detained a “suspicious individual” near the Georgia Center, University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.

Jeremiah Ransom, a sophomore from Macon, was leaving a Wesley Foundation pirate vs. ninja event when he was detained....

“Seeing someone with something across the face, from a federal standpoint — that’s not right,” McLemore said, explaining why agents believed something to be amiss. [More]

Oh, really? And which federal edict does that violate?


The guy is on the ground cuffed. Why the hell is the BATFU thug putting his weight on a citizen's neck with his knee? If the citizen is a threat, why does the other thug have his hand in his pocket while he talks on the phone?

And why didn't Chief Williamson have them arrested for assault?

These incompetents can't tell the difference between a costume party and a crime, so naturally their first instinct is to react with violence. After all, if they don't understand something, it must be treated like a threat.

What kind of power hungry sociopath would want a career in this sick, unAmerican criminal syndicate?

Maybe If You Wish Hard Enough...

Community leaders in the city of Dayton will announce on Wednesday morning a new initiative that they hope will help cut down or eliminate gun violence in the city...

Community leaders said the gun violence is a cycle that they believe needs to stop.

It's bold leadership like this that makes America great.

Why the Elite Support "Gun Control"

Heiress Chelsy Davy, 20, was met by two armed officers as she flew in to Heathrow from Cape Town. Three more joined her in arrivals before she was whisked off in a 4x4.

See, there's you, and then there's us...

A Question of Expertise

A nurse had spotted the paddle and thought it was a shotgun. She reported seeing an armed man and prompted a lockdown at the hospital.

So does this mean we shouldn't be addressing "gun violence" as a public health issue?

Kaine's True Colors Showing

Kaine also turned back a bill that would allow gun owners without concealed-weapon permits to store firearms in locked compartments in their vehicles. The legislation, advocated by lawmakers concerned about Second Amendment protections, was passed over the protests of those who champion gun controls.

I don't understand. In the past, he's been so supportive of "gun lobby" programs...

Permitting the Right: Nuts to That

Nelson was sent to a mental-health center for a 96-hour evaluation in September 2003 over fears he would harm himself. He was evaluated and released with no finding of mental illness or need for treatment.

Last year, he applied for a permit to acquire a weapon. The Callaway County sheriff denied the request, citing a section of law barring people who were committed to a mental-health center from obtaining a permit.

My thoughts on the mentally ill and guns has not changed since writing this.

I'm glad Nelson had the will and the resources to fight this beyond the sheriff, the small claims court, and the circuit judge. If he hadn't he'd still be disarmed.

Amy Blame the Gun

Yes, criminals will continue to acquire firearms (legally and otherwise) and commit gun crimes with them. The issue we have yet to address is that of law-abiding citizens purchasing guns that later cause the intentional or unintentional death of the gun owner or someone else.

There it is, folks, in a nutshell.

I'm the Only One Litigious Enough

A Drug Enforcement Administration agent who stars in a popular online video that shows him shooting himself in the foot during a weapons demonstration for Florida children is suing over the tape's release, claiming that his career has been crippled and he's become a laughingstock due to the embarrassing clip's distribution. Lee Paige, 45, blames the video's release on DEA officials in an April 7 federal lawsuit filed against the U.S. government. [More]

Welcome back, Mr. Paige. I consider you the Founding Father of WarOnGuns' ongoing "Only Ones" files... Newsflash, pal. You are a laughingstock. If anyone is going to sue, it ought to be the video's owner. Where does DEA get off confiscating and then erasing the original tape? By virtue of its exposure, including being featured on national television shows, I'd say the owner deserves substantial compensation. [Via The Smallest Minority and Nicki]
