Tonight--Armed American Radio

I'll be on at 9:00 pm Eastern.  [Listen]

"David and Goliath"

Nice writeup. [Read]

Thank you.  Thank you very much.

Gun Rights Radio Network posts GRPC videos

They are long, as they captured the entire program of speakers--making  this an invaluable asset allowing those who could not make it to Chicago to attend a virtual GRPC. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column links to videos that will let you watch and listen to all the speakers as your time permits.

Freedo...o...o...o...mmm!!!

What does it mean?  Interesting discussion going on here.

I don't view the Constitution as the ultimate possible evolutionary pinnacle of social contracts--more like a starting point that we can't go under, a plateau from which new experiments can be tried.

Who's on First. What's on Second.

With interest.  [Read]

CleanUpATF speculates on imminent management shakeup

This assessment has also been shared with this correspondent by other sources, some hearing scuttlebutt that a partial realignment of senior executive staff may happen as early as today. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes some packing boxes may be showing up soon on the Fifth Floor...

Making Hay

Not that he'll have anything to do with those who baled it...[Watch]

Ahhh....

....no...o...o, I don't think I'd put one on my car...[More]

Sorry, Michael, I like a lot of your stuff but "experience hath shewn" 'n all that, and there are a lot of dangerous maniacs out there...

Readers here may feel differently though, so everybody feel free to disagree with me. I'm just speaking for myself--and yeah, one could argue I'm being inconsistent, but I think one is more likely to provoke an "official" response than the other...

First Person Shooters

"This doesn't make me happy at all," said Vicki Bash, owner of Shooters. "Any time you have people drinking, you never know how their personality is going to change. A real nice guy could come in and then all of the sudden he's drinking a lot and wants to take on everyone in the bar. But this law won't change anything here. Guns are still not allowed.

"My personal opinion is that the police are the only ones who should be carrying guns." [More]

Gee, Vicki, can I be informed like you some day?  I guess if your priorities are "Girls Gone Wild" and Jello shots, perhaps it's a clientele issue...

Although if someone inclined to ignore stupid signs wishes to take advantage of a bunch of disarmed drunks showing each other their tits, I guess maybe the name of Vicky's dive could prove prophetic...

We're the Only Ones Half Off Enough

Peterson is a 14-year veteran who bought a home as part of the federal Officer Next Door Program that allows officers to buy homes at half price to help fight crime in some neighborhoods. [More]

That oughtta federally stimulate home prices! Jeez, why not also offer Buy One Get One Free?

Any guesses on whether the incentive carries with it a legal duty to protect neighbors?

But say, why wouldn't that work if you gave the same deal to gun owners?

Sorry, you're not an "Only One."

The Snowball Effect

I was enjoying the hate in comments under that Media Matters hit piece on Mike (no surprise there) and two thoughts struck:

1. I'm jealous.

2. If they can call us "teabaggers," which, as with all else they spew is a filthy lie, couldn't we with accuracy call all the Obama love-sharers "snOballers"?

What? "Our" side is supposed to be "above" that?

What do you think the maniacs these useful idiots walk ideological point for have in mind for us if they prevail?

Myth Busters

What if...? [More]

Raising the Bar

Just wow. [Read]

This Day in History: September 30

The declaration of Spain in favour of France has given universal joy to every Whig, while the poor Tory droops like a withering flower under a declining Sun. [More]

We're the Only Ones Young at Heart Enough

The chief of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in South Florida has been arrested as part of a child pornography investigation. [More]

Oh, crap--we've got the wrong NAMBLA!

And Now a Word About the First National Bank of Kansas

Boycott. [Read]

Incidentally, Mark Muller--you desperately need lessons in safe gun handling and carrying. You're setting a terrible example for those who don't know any better.

Serenity

Another laboratory for the free exchange of ideas demonstrates tolerance.  Not. [Read]

I can't say I agree with the sentiment of the poster that got all the regressives' knickers wadded. My preference would be to modify  it as follows:

If I ever kill you, you will never even know I was there until you wake up in Hell and they tell you.

CUM ULLA SELLA 'n all that...

The Key

...the key lies in creating stronger mechanisms of federal oversight... [More]

Well, that certainly tells me everything I need to know.  That and that the damn furriners are behind it.

An "Arsenal"?

Looks more to me like what you'd bring along for a day at the range. [Read]

What Do You Call a White Man Who Votes for a Black Man?

A racist.  [Read]

Good grief.
