'Not Without a Fight' Gun Rights Documentary Completed

Gun rights documentary maker Max Lemus informs me his "Not without a fight" video has been completed and its official release date is today. [More]

Find out how you can purchase your copy in today's second Gun Rights Examiner column.

This young man invested months of his life traveling the country to interview gun rights activists, and invested his own savings in order to bring this to us, and I think he's created a tool that can be very helpful in spreading the message "outside the choir." When you consider how uncompromising the views presented are, that's really a pretty remarkable achievement.

I'd like to think someone who has earned our support deserves to actually receive it.

If not from you, then who?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Britain has built the world's biggest DNA database without proper political debate and police routinely arrest people just to get their DNA profiles onto the system, the genetics watchdog said in a report on Tuesday. [More]

I guess the term "function creep" doesn't strike them as ironic?

New York Daily News Uses Ignorant Snobbery to Push Citizen Disarmament

[C]reatures such as these will never stop promoting the destruction of our right to keep and bear arms. There can be no compromise with them, because they'll never stop, so long as other, rougher men in the service of the state are willing to enforce their demands at gunpoint... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner illustrates returns the contempt.

Also see a mess caused by some spilled beans and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Lafayette and his 300 troops win a skirmish with a larger force of Hessians at Gloucester, New Jersey. [More]

Gillibrand and McCarthy to Make Illegal Gun Transactions Even More Illegal

That's pretty much the gist of today's press conference. [More]

Here's the follow-up to today's earlier Gun Rights Examiner column. There's not a lot to say because most of what they said was such BS.

A Brief Nod

Is it really as good as a wink to a blind horse? [More]

Grey's Anatomy Spin-Off Webcast Starts Tonight!

Western Rifle Shooters Association tells us about it. [More]

But first they make us sit through some boring economic stuff.

And It's All Perfectly Legal!

There are armed men and women in the tri-counties that we don't hear much about. They aren't police, rather they're ordinary citizens carrying a concealed gun in public-- and it's all perfectly legal. [More]

Provided you can prove to Master that you "need" it.

We're in Bill Brown country now!

I like how some connected businessman's money roll or some club musician's fan interactions are more important than my childrens' lives.

And it's all perfectly legal!

I wonder if they did a quick audit of these counties if you'd find any inconvenient racial disparities in re approvals...

Actually, we don't need to wonder.

We're the Only Ones Stripped Bare Enough

Newly obtained documents reveal a former Scottsdale police officer may have illegally strip searched as many as 20 Valley women during his two years on the force. [More]

If he'd tried that on some of the women I know, ol' Chong Kim here would have ended up in deep kimche.

The thing about "Only Ones" stories like this that always gets to me is just the fact that they believe they operate in a culture that allows them to get away with it. That and their attitude that citizens are chattel to be used and disposed of as they see fit.

Maybe this is why:

A police spokesman said the department also investigated possible criminal charges against Kim, but determine he did not violate any state laws.

Think they'd have been able to gin up some relevant statutes if one of the victims had...uh...blown this evil pig to hell?

And then there's this:

"Clearly this was an officer who was going way beyond his job description," said Ulises Ferragut, a defense attorney who has been involved in similar cases.

Really? It wasn't within established department protocols? Or is Ulises here just having fun with wry understatement?

William Grigg has more.

The Way Things Oughtta Be

Two days after the General’s death, a 14-year-old girl in Bushenyi allegedly killed one Josephat Mpigika, a 40-year-old man who had tried to rape her. She reportedly killed him with a rock accurately aimed at his head. The police arrested her. [More]

Thank goodness some parts of the world recognize the danger posed by guns, and take that awful choice away from women, leaving them with poison and witchcraft.

We could get there some day here, too. Our finest feminist mind is working on it.

Thugs who broke a man's jaw on a night out were freed after just one day of their nine-month jail sentences after a judge decided he had been too harsh, it emerged today. [More]

Any questions?

Oh, right, you can't ask them. Your jaw is broken.

Stop with the Fred Maslack Emails Already

Fred Maslack is not a current member of the VT legislature.

Here: See for yourself.

Please stop forwarding the email about him introducing a bill requiring gun ownership. You'll notice they never actually come with a bill number and a link?

I heard such a bill was introduced a while back, but you couldn't prove it by me.

It's kind of like that damned SB 2099 HR 45 email that keeps urging us to SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. And it seems they're always sent by people clueless as to "BCC," so a "reply to all" delights us all. Not to mention provides a convenient cherry picking resource for spammers, especially as forwards accrue more edresses...

We have real efforts required of us. We can't afford to waste time and energy.

We're the Only Ones Mildly Responded To Enough

Yet despite one officer's own admission of the fraud as well as payroll sheets outlining the officers' misdeeds, no charges were brought against them. [More]

Well, yeah...hh...

Why do you think we call them "Only Ones"?

No Business for Randy Rayburn, EVER

"We will have vigilantes shooting up bars all over," said Randy Rayburn, the owner of three upscale cafes, who led opponents of the law. [More]

Insulting, isn't he?

I wonder what Randy's prepared to personally do if someone downscale decides an upscale cafe with unarmed patrons provides an attractive opportunity for those not afraid to ignore the rules when it suits their purposes?

You know, people who look at "No Guns Ever" signs as invitations...?

You can ask Randy. You'll find him down at the Sunset Grill. Or at the Midtown Cafe, or his third "Dine While Disarmed" establishment, Cabana.

Any gun owner who spends a dime in these joints is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

And here's an interesting twist: Randy's executive chef "specializes in wild game dishes in the framework of contemporary cuisine."

Does that mean they have to shoot it?

Might be an opportunity to do a little CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA bridge-building, and find out how many PETA activists in the Nashville area might be outraged at the exploitation and murder of our animal friends just to satisfy upscale gluttony and greed...

Kirsten Gillibrand Ramps Up Abandonment of Gun Owners

I noticed one conspicuous absence in particular among the signatories: formerly "pro gun" Kirsten Gillibrand, who abandoned her supportive gun-owning constituents to embrace the political opportunities of citizen disarmament. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column once again chronicles the serial infidelities of...well, we know what she is and we've established her price.

This Day in History: November 24

Information having been given that divers of the late sutlers, and some of the inhabitants have opened tippling houses within and adjacent to the encampment of the army, by which the design of banishing the Sutlers from the army is in a great measure frustrated. The Deputy Quarter Master General is required forthwith, to make diligent inquiry, and examination, for discovering such houses, and suppressing them, and to assure all who are driving this pernicious trade, that if continued any longer, their liquors shall be seized, and they expelled from the neighbourhood of the army, on pain of the severest punishment if they return. [More]

A Conspicuous Absence

An overwhelming, bipartisan majority of members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have signed an amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," brief supporting the NRA’s position that the Second Amendment is incorporated against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. The amicus brief, bearing the signatures of 251 Members of Congress and 58 Senators, was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court today in the case of McDonald v. City of Chicago. [More]

Here's the brief.

Well, well, well...

Guess who didn't sign it?

Just the Idea

“I’m appalled that someone would even consider it. It was only one incident, and it was just the idea. We do not allow guns in the library, no firearms or any weapon in the library.” [More]

So, Larry Frank: What exactly are you personally prepared to do about it should some nonfictional character decide your signs and your indignant opposition are...unpersuasive?

Go "Shhhh..."?

All those books. You'd think the guy would have learned something. Just what the hell are they teaching at all those liberal arts universities that Larry attended?

Oh. Right.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

A MAN had bleach poured into his eyes when he was attacked by two thugs in his own home.

John McGrady had his head kicked on and stamped and he was slashed with a knife when the two attackers burst into his Thornton property. [More]

And every single proponent of human disarmament would rather see this happen to you and those you love than "allow" you to be armed.

With no exceptions.

We're the Only Ones Skimming Enough

A statewide police association will check its financial books after learning one of its board members -- a Chicago Police sergeant -- was charged with skimming $600,000 from the Chicago Police Sergeants' Association. [More]

I'm shocked--shocked--to find no honor among "Only Ones."

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
