Notes from the Resistance...
These days, it’s getting harder and harder to make an honest buck selling killing machines.We showed you what Russian and Venezuelan communists are doing about small arms, so we thought it only fair to show what their domestic counterparts at The New York Press are up to.
After the firing range, Chavez headed for Izhmash weapons maker, Kalashnikov museum of small-arms weapons and had a personal meeting with Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary armourer of Russia. The Kalashnikov sub-machine gun is the banner of Venezuelan armed power, Chavez said after receiving an autobiographical book by Kalashnikov.Mikhail--did you tell him how you now favor global small arms control?
Collective gasps were heard Wednesday as gruesome photographs of gunshot victims flashed onto a screen before dozens of teenagers and their parents.Yeah, right, Davis. We get it. You're "The Only Ones" and we're not.
“Y’all look. Don’t look away,” the speaker said. “This is where the fascination of guns gets you”...
Firing a gun creates a vicious cycle of revenge, Davis said, illustrating his point by saying a sibling of a gunshot victim will usually seek to even the score, which can often lead to deaths of those not involved in the initial conflict...
Guns are made to kill, Davis said, so carrying one – even if it’s to have a sense of protection – doesn’t change its purpose.
She said going into a gunshop with a machete was not the smartest thing for anyone to do.Don't expect most people to extrapolate a broader principle from this, though...
An off-duty police officer fired 11 bullets into his girlfriend's door and was arrested on charges including reckless endangerment, police said.Maybe her doorbell was broken...?
Indiana State Police say virtually anybody who owns a gun would be a suspect at this point.Compare to:
I suspect everyone and I suspect no one.Glad to see it looks like they caught him using good old fashioned police work, that is, a tip from an informant. All you Indiana gun owners who own handguns, shotguns and any rifle that doesn't take .270 ammo can breathe a sigh of relief that you're no longer suspects.
Acting Austin Police Chief Cathy Ellison will not be disciplined for leaving a gun in the trunk of a city-owned car she took in for maintenance late last year...No. No, of course not. She's an "Only One."
llinois State Police trooper Gregory Mugge pleaded guilty to one charge of possessing an unregistered machine gun...Yeah, I'm sure had it been some of us mere citizens instead of "The Only Ones," the Illinois law enforcement/political establishment would have been tripping all over themselves to recommend leniency.
Mugge, 52, of Jerseyville, was indicted in January, along with Illinois State Police Sgt. James Vest, 39, of O'Fallon, and John Yard, 36, an Illinois State Police special agent...
In February, a group of 12 local police chiefs and sheriffs, and two state senators...endorsed a letter of support for the three state troopers.
The wife of a Morgan County sheriff's deputy was wounded in what appeared to be an accidental shooting with the deputy's gun...Neither her name nor the deputy's name was released.No. No, of course not.
Sometimes we as African Americans should do our own investigating before we allow the media to control what we believe about our own young men and women.Based on the track record of "authorized journalists," that's sound advice for any race on any topic.
A mother and her 3-year-old daughter were wounded Tuesday after they were caught in a street side gun battle while driving down Marina Way South, Lt. Mark Gagan said...But...but...but...
Richmond has experienced a spate of violence this year. A man and a woman were fatally shot in the city on Saturday night, bringing the homicide total to 22 for the year.
Tony has sent you a link to a weblog:Hmmm. Maybe somebody around here ought to look before he leaps...
FYI - This shooting gallery is Richmond, Ca, just north of infamous Oakland, Ca.
Three Hixton families have filed a complaint with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department against a deputy, claiming that he pepper sprayed four kids and two adults riding on a float during an Independence Day parade.Leave it to "The Only Ones" to spice up an event intended to celebrate sovereign individual liberty.
However, I will remind you that the founding fathers possessed weapons that could, but the best infantry in the world at the time (the British) only be fired between 3 and 5 times a minute. Do you know what the modern automatic machine gun can do. Times change Mr. Quammen, and with them the rules and yes rights too must also change. The founding fathers ment to protect the people from their creation (the federal government) not set them as prey to their fellow citizens.Just a guess, but I'd say Jori S. Byrne-Diakun (who's "not a she") picked the wrong guy to give a lesson in founding intent to...
A Missouri State Highway Patrol commander is recovering after shooting himself in the arm with a pistol...With a bit more training, you might realize that incompetent gun handling is what's dangerous.
"Every once in a while, something like this happens...It's unfortunate, but it's one of those things. That's why guns are dangerous."
At the end of June, Pearce dropped by the house, asking my husband if he knew of my plans and if he approved.So that's the official word from the nation's leading "feminist" organization? If a woman wants a gun she needs to get her husband's permission?
Initially, I'm horrified. What if we had a bad marriage, and I wanted the gun for self-protection? Why should he get to overrule my decision?
Kim Gandy, the president of the National Organization for Women, sees it differently. It's never wise to bring firepower into an abusive household, she says. And if New Jersey's law requires spousal notification, victims get time to prepare - or leave.
"I think we need to leave those issues to this - dial 911 and get the people that are trained to handle those things," Coker said Monday during the 2006 ACC Football Kickoff event. "I really don't want our players to have firearms."I'd say you need to work on your defense.
Gore said he and his wife, Tipper, who was in the audience, had adopted a "carbon neutral lifestyle."Does that mean they've stopped exhaling?
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) charges a Republican-backed amendment that prohibits the confiscation of guns during an emergency puts police officers and first responders in danger.Of course, no one will confiscate the guns of this loathsome parasite's taxpayer-funded bodyguards.
"Children will pick up a gun if they find it. They can't help themselves, it's what they do. They're curious, and it's your job to make sure their curiosity doesn't hurt them," project representative Linda Corrow said.
Know your gun. Know your ammo. Be sure of your backstop. Be sure of your target.Linda or Ed...avoidance or education...
"No one ever got hurt because of the strict discipline," Catalano said. "At the very beginning, Ed Schrop wouldn't even let you touch a gun. It was this way -- or out."
Before long, the boys knew how to clean rifles, take them apart and put them back together.
All that is to say that I'm no stranger to firearms and their use for recreation and hunting. I believe that experience qualifies me to comment on the Second Amendment as it's observed and misused today.Yeah, I'd say experience with recreational activities makes you a Constitutional scholar, Mike.
