‘Anti-gun’ attorney arrested for gun at airport

"What's interesting about David is he is such an anti-gun person," Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, told the press. "He's such an anti-violence person, and of all the things for him to get arrested for, that really surprises me." [More]
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a "progressive" workaround when principles and practice collide. Besides, they never meant for the laws to apply to them...

Steering Things Back On Course

In comments under my latest GUNS piece, a shill for the divide-and-conquer Fudd exploiters does exactly what I said not to do, presenting ad hominem attacks instead of refuting the presented evidence. So naturally, I'm compelled to point that out. [More]

Do feel free to enter the discussion over there. Anyone can.

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Bureau Scorned?

I dunno-- I wouldn't put it past the stupid SOBs, but this ban proposal looks politically -- and legally -- indefensible from what I'm hearing, and I expect implementation to fizzle. [More]

It could be retaliation is exactly what the motivation was, but barring some kind of insider evidence being revealed, we could all offer gut feel speculations, but that doesn't make it so. Mine is that this is just the administration doing whatever it can to be anti-2A dicks and throwing feces against the wall to see what sticks.

There's Education and There's Education

True, a degree doesn't make the man. [More]

Still, I'd like to know the guy can at least add dos más dos...

Reynolds has been strangely silent on pointing out the "single issue" connection on that.

A Taxing Proposition

Of course they should be exempt. [More]

And then we can abolish the collection agency.

Easy Questions

Should the US have stricter gun control laws? Do we need strict gun control laws? Can people police themselves when it comes to guns? [More]
I can think of much harder ones, like are you ready for the civil war your ignorance is inviting, and are you really dumb enough to believe there will be no personal consequences?

By Exclusive Invitation Only

Typical. They want to enact edicts affecting all of us, but they only want to let their insider supporters in on what's said at their public gatherings. [More]

Thank God this gun criminal is off the streets! [More]

We're the Only Ones Empowering Girls Enough

Fresno police say the 10-year-old daughter of a Madera County sheriff's lieutenant shot her younger sister with their father's gun in an apparent accident. [More]
I can't tell you how many times that used to happen with my kids.

Snuffing Out the Candles

Mental darkness facilitates authoritarianism, and darkness we have. [More]
Sound analysis, for the most part, and brilliant commentary, as per usual. I do disagree with the conclusion that all is lost. There's a new paradigm that hasn't been factored in.

High Resolution

As always, showing up and showing support for a pro gun-rights resolution is critical in our efforts to keep adding counties to the list opposing new and dangerous gun control laws. [More]
Besides, you might meet some friends for life...

Fine, be that way, who needs you?  [More]

Put your own damn lives at risk. Leave mine out of it.

Oh, look: They have a special Twitter "jobs" account set up.  I wonder if they offer hazard pay?

Attention bank robbers:
Withdrawals are easy, the First Citizens way!
