GRE Round Up for Mar. 29

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Howard Nemerov/Austin:
United States Concealed Carry Association: Web marketing experiment?

Don Gwinn/Chicago:
There's only one way to "make the Constitution relevant to modern society," Professor!

Daniel White/Cleveland:
Ohio Fraternal Order of Police opposes gun law changes in new bill

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Nearly done with the the Tanner Gun Show shooting

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Don’t confuse MI suspects with law-abiding gun owners

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Mexican President Calderón--and Reuters--still blame U.S. 'gun lobby' for violence

WTF?

The girl was charged with domestic battery and is due in juvenile court May 5. [More]

Unfortunately this account is pretty skimpy on the details. How did the cops get involved in this?

Are we to believe the father reported his daughter and had her arrested?

Could such a creature actually exist?

We Said "No Anchovies!"

In Hammond, Ind., 18-year-old George Ponce, who works at a pizzeria next door to a home that was raided, said he and a few co-workers stepped outside for a break Saturday night and saw a swarm of law enforcement.

"I heard a yell, 'Get back inside!' and saw a squad member pointing a rifle at us," Ponce said. [More]

Pizza Hutaree?

Make sure you check out the indictment I posted on earlier today.

We're the Only Ones Admitting Enough

During cross examination by Lopez, however, the sergeant admitted that the photographs were taken after he had handled the gun and placed it in that position. [More]

You see what they did here--made it look like the citizen broke the law, and they would have let everyone think that unless the truth was forced out of them. One can only wonder at the frequency this happens. The fact that a sergeant and two officers were involved tells us all we need to know about it being just one isolated bad apple.

So what's the name of this g****** lying son of a b***** "Only One" who's willing to manipulate evidence against a citizen like that in an attempt to destroy his life and take his freedom, and what interest could a free society possibly have in employing and protecting such a fascist thug?

For some reason, this one really p***** me off more than usual.

We're the Only Ones Delusional Enough

Mr. Asbell attracted widespread attention with his attacks on the drug trade in the state's poorest city. He carried guns and accompanied the police on raids. Though he had a reputation as an eccentric public figure who adorned his office with cowboy memorabilia and enjoyed shooting firearms captured by the police, he was also well liked and respected by law-enforcement officials. [More]

Well, of course he was.

This is was, after all, Furious Mike David Dinkens Paradise*, and they are, of course, fellow "Only Ones"...

*I'm informed this is an old story. Indeed it is--I didn't check the date.

It's still relevant in principle, though.

We're the Only Ones Ethically Going Backward Enough

San Francisco prosecutors told judges Friday that they could not "ethically go forward" with 46 narcotics trials because of evidence problems arising out of the scandal at the Police Department's drug-analysis lab - signaling that the district attorney is likely to dismiss nearly all 750 pending drug cases in the city. [More]

Why, sure, we'll be happy to "lab test" that cocaine...

Snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

Ahhh...wow, yeah, that's good stuff, all right...

[Via William T]

We're the Only Ones Berating Enough

The manager said her husband told Schwab, "You shouldn't bring your road rage in here." Schwab pulled out his badge and holstered gun. [More]

Hey, seeing as how this took place at a fast food joint, they're lucky he didn't escalate the situation.

I wonder--if I track down someone who cuts me off in traffic and pull a gun, will they be satisfied with my just resigning...?

Indictment...

Overpriced

Times Herald editor Stan Huskey gives his "2 cents" worth.

He presents himself as the voice of moderation--which means he's another big "but" 2A fraud.

Looks like he's fallen for the VPC "assault weapons" lie--either that or he knows damn well what he's doing.

Ditto he seems ignorant about just who would be immune to stolen gun reporting requirements...

"2 cents?" That seems a bit high for what is either nonsense or deception.

I want my money back.

We're the Only Ones Appalled Enough

"I am kind appalled that they keep coming back and back to these issues that have already been heavily discussed," said Mark Drum of the FOP. "It just comes down to the fact that these are absolutely huge safety issues for law enforcement everywhere." [More]

And we all know that's why we have government in the first place. Forget "huge safety issues" for non-"Only Ones"...

Besides, Mark Drum said it, I believe it, that settles it. Who are we to question his awesome superior judgment, trustworthiness and ability?

Daniel White has more.

Federal Judge Rules Against 2nd Amendment, For DC 'Gun Control'

But the problem with this approach is, ultimately, after appeals are exhausted, all it takes is for the Supreme Court to say...nothing. Just refuse to hear a case without comment, and what's done is done...[More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "legal" confirmation of what some of us have been saying for years.

I hope no one thinks power is ever ceded because the usurpers think it's the Constitutionally proper and moral thing to do...
