Esta es Mi Cara de Asombro

Gomero?

¡Sorpresa!¡Sorpresa!¡Sorpresa!

Flagstaff school shooting drill confirms ‘gun free zones’ enable killers

“The drill was nothing but a cleanup effort with zero prevention measures,” a source describing the operation as “a major cluster” told Gun Rights Examiner this morning. “It also took cops 30 minutes to get to the victims. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the great object seems to be how efficiently civil "authoritah" can mop up the blood -- while ensuring the antis still get plenty to dance in.

The Things You Need to Believe if You're a "Real Reporter/Legitimate Media/Authorized Journalist"

That's right, Christina Sterbenz of Business Insider: Our rights were given to us by a comma. [More]

Good girl. Here's your salary.

"Most Dangerous Neighborhoods" Sounds So Negative and Judgmental

We're the Only Ones Barred Enough

Welcome to the party, pals. Feel our pain. We can't -- you can't.  [More]


And "Republican" Henry Burns wanting an "Only Ones" exemption tells me he either buys into the myth or has some hidden authority issues going on.

Pile-on after gun class discharge misses key unreported point

"Terry maintains his status as a Peace Officer with the Harrisburg Police Department." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report brings you a bit of relevant information that the "Authorized Journalists" conveniently left out in their constant quest to convince us that police are the "Only Ones" who can be trusted with guns.

This Day in History: August 13

Purported U.N. disarmament document long on hysteria, short on provability

The document reads like a conspiracy theorist’s worst nightmare on steroids, and while it’s not inconsistent with the documented goals of the most zealous factions in the globalist citizen disarmament camp, suspecting its authenticity is prudent. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report recommends making sure there's really a fire before pulling the alarm.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things

Andrea Shea King says "Turn off 'mainstream' media for good" and "lists blogs that do news faster, better." [More]

She's got some interesting picks, or at least picks I'm interested in...

While I was Playing Hooky

Dereliction of duty...and loving it.
Special guest co-host, Robert Zimmerman.  The guest lineup included author, John Higgs, the incredible Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Rob Pincus, a call from JPFO Exec. Dir. Charles Heller.  One of the best shows ever in our 4.5 year history!
I'd fully intended to join the program in the third hour, but my brother had a big family cookout at his place. I called Mark at 7:30 to beg off and he graciously accepted my taking the night off on such short notice (not that they'd miss me with the lineup I knew they had). So while they were having one of their "best shows ever," I was having a damn fine weekend evening, something I think I deserve once in a while.

Self-Regulating Gun Control

Who says the industry isn't taking steps to deny access to guns to people who are proven dangers to themselves and others?

Deterrence

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Dom Raso explains how guns can keep people safe without ever being fired. [Watch]
I guess  it all depends on who you find more credible on the issue of appropriate responses to an attack:  A guy who qualified to be part of one of the most elite trained warrior cadres in the world, or a Bloomberg spokesflack who says you should ward off a club-wielding attacker with your fists.

Let's see, if I go with the guy who knows what he's talking about, there's every chance the deterrent effect will make escalation unnecessary, whereas if I listen to ...uh...what are his qualifications and credentials to offer an informed opinion on this again?... well, anyway, if I listen to him, the odds are I'll get bludgeoned to death.

Hmmm ... this is a real stumper ...

"Conservative Ideology"

Yeah, nice trick there, portraying heavily-regulated professional wheedlers and suck-ups dependent on the good will of the rulers, and economic fascists doing "business" with governments, which rely on plunder redistribution for all of their financial transactions, as a "free market" model. [More

View from the Bottom Looking Up

So I suppose an alternative mural, one maybe from the point of view of the guy getting his face pummeled and his head pounded into the sidewalk, would not only not be welcomed, but would actually not be allowed in the Florida State Capitol? [More]

I mean, heck -- we don't want to be divisive or anything.

Crime and Punishment

Then Young became a suspect in burglaries at storage facilities and vehicles in the area, and the police searched his home and found the forgotten shotgun shells as well as some stolen goods. The United States attorney in Chattanooga prosecuted Young under a federal law that bars ex-felons from possessing guns or ammunition. In this case, under the Armed Career Criminal Act, that meant a 15-year minimum sentence. [More]
And you'll never guess who agrees with such laws, demands their enforcement, and criticizes government for not doing more.

Oh, you will...?

A New Mission

This is how it is to be done, it was easy to conclude.  Social science with a gun: community involvement, town meetings, law enforcement knowledge of everyone all of the time, biometrics to track people (and especially men of military age), door kicking and killing as punitive measures, all sanctioned by the authorities and fully approved.  A new mission. [More]
The late Jeff Cooper comes to mind:
I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as “ninja” … Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing. A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.

A Temporary Setback

U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin said she was not putting an end to the policy, but rather was reforming it. [More]
That just means they need to up the quotas on everybody not being currently profiled.
