A Champion and Staunch Defender
"The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund supports Sam Brownback because he is a champion and staunch defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Kansas gun owners," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. "As a U.S. senator, Sam has proven time and again to be a trustworthy and effective defender of our gun rights, and I know those same qualities will serve him well as governor." [More]Oh so that explains it--you know, why he hasn't commented on public facility carry, nor even acknowledged it in his agenda. I'm sure his hesitation is due to wondering if the bill is pro-gun enough.
Aren't you?
Sure?
The enemy within (2)
“Who will plant this wheat?”—Paul Galdone, The Little Red Hen [More]Today's conclusion to yesterdays Gun Rights Examiner column notes how most, who'd love some freshly-baked bread, reply "Not I."

The enemy within
The thing is, most of us depend on specialization. If a pipe breaks, we call the plumber. If the car makes a funny noise, we get a mechanic to check it out. That’s understandable; life and technology are complicated. We may not have the knowledge, or we may not have the tools. Besides, there are people who can do that for us, whatever “that” is, and if the price is right, it’s in our interest to let them.Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes there may be time enough for love, but other essentials are being ignored.
The trap is, we’ve done that with self-government, too. [More]
There's a Term for This
In contrast, a family in New Mexico has now been languishing in jail for almost six months. They have been denied bail, and all of their assets have been seized. [More]It's called an "economic Waco."
Jeff Knox follows up on his first report.
I'm in communication with some folks on this, including a close relative, and hope to have something more to say soon.
A Religious Intervention
Moreover, arms cannot simply be compared with other goods exchanged in global or domestic markets. The quest for a world more respectful of the dignity of human person and the value of human life must be the founding principle of the ATT.So, pally, are Benedict's more-trustworthy-than-the-rest-of-us Swiss Guards gonna keep their SG 550s?
Viewed from this perspective, the international community requires a strong, effective and credible legal instrument that is capable of regulating and improving transparency in the trade of conventional arms and munitions, including the trading and licensing of technologies for their production.

I don't suppose it's occurred to you that an armed citizenry might have been able to help you guys avoid a certain amount of "controversy"? And I don't suppose it occurs to you that those wielding a "monopoly of force" are also the ones who would require you to pay for abortions in Catholic health care plans?
The Magic Number
Is there some magic number of cops or congresswomen who have to get shot in the head before something happens in Washington? [More]Let's all pray we never have to find out.
We're the Only Ones on ICE Enough
A confrontation between law enforcement agents erupted in gunfire Thursday evening at the federal building in Long Beach, leaving one dead and one seriously injured, authorities said. [More]Obviously because only the "Only Ones" can be trusted with guns--not just at federal buildings, but in Southern California in general...
Back when I was young and immortal, I lived a few blocks from there (before the Anderson building was constructed--matter of fact, I can see my old complex in the interactive map)--the first property I ever owned, and the...uh...only one I could afford due to insane SoCal real estate prices, a condo in an area trying to be "gentrified." It was anything but safe. Funny--our resident drug dealer was a guy known on the street as "Ice"--he got into our place on a VA loan, set about immediately never making a payment, and knew every trick in the book to keep delaying eviction.
The stories I could tell...
Due to "may issue"I could not get a permit to save my life. Due to principle, I did what I thought best, lest I be the one to end up on ice.

Boehner Speaks
He doesn't really say all that much, but it's more than we've ever gotten out of him before...[Watch]
At least he doesn't blame it on the mess boys...
UPDATE: When you see what the question was, he really comes across like a spineless, equivocating weasel.

Will Obama strip gunwalking prohibition and add anti-gun provisions to budget?
If The Washington Times has budget information that is different from what is posted for public scrutiny on the White House website, or can point to additional provisions in the multiple and complex documents that challenge a non-accountant layperson to understand things, it would be helpful to those of us following their lead to be told the specific sections or documents they are deriving their conclusions from. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report crunches some numbers and comes up short in its audit.
Boehner Scrutiny
You can't be too careful these days, which is why we have examinations and get second opinions. [Read]
