Suspects in gun violence often no strangers to law enforcement [More]

I guess this is where we say "Duh"?

The Cruelest Month

So much concentrated bedwetting in just one column. But how can you argue with the "solutions" offered by someone who says this with a straight face?

"Mayor Bloomberg is a visionary against gun violence, and acts of youth violence and murder are up, so they are holding these meetings in each borough," Cruz said.

That must explain the uptick. Or maybe she just doesn't want to get voted off the island?

Yeah, we'll be getting answers from this satisfied Rapex customer real soon.

Great coverage, "Authorized Journalist" Patrice O'Shaughnessy! One would never know there might be a different option!

And forget using "ph" instead of "f," even though your own archive spells the name of a fellow national socialist correctly. We pay you to churn out propaganda, so no points get taken away for inaccuracy--matter of fact, it's quite the opposite as far as The Daily News is concerned.

We're the Only Ones Moderate and Reasonable Enough

His aim is to force lawmakers to expand the rights of concealed-handgun owners in bars or rescind the current exception that allows law-enforcement officers and commonwealth's attorneys to carry concealed weapons and consume alcohol. [More]

How DARE he?

Some people...

Haven't we proven time and time again that only the "Only Ones" are capable of exhibiting such superhuman virtue and control (I have plenty more where those came from)? Or at least getting away with it when they don't? And that maintaining the distinction between peon and overlord is...how did His Highness A. Donald McEachin put it...? Oh, yeah, "a more moderate, a more reasonable approach."

Furious Mike's Paradise

The mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda — even most police officers do not use them — but the mayor’s guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment. [More]

It does seem to be a universal characteristic these wretched rich anti-gun (for everyone but themselves) hypocrites share. Oh well, just so we're clear on where you stand.

We're the Only Ones Readdressing the Situation Enough

Tidwell believes that after the raid, the deputies intentionally scratched the letter "A" off the other side of the house to make it look as though their mistake was unavoidable because it looked like all one house. [More]

That seems to be the kind of thing that wouldn't occur to any but a mind practiced at such ways of thinking. You know, an "Only One."

Why is ATF Ducking Freedom of Information Response on Toy Guns?

GRE Round Up for Apr. 26

There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. 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:

Anthony Bouchard/Cheyenne:

Don Gwinn/Chicago:

OK. And he was "nowhere near the president."

And the story doesn't mention him having a...you know, rifle. Just "a sidearm."

The charge?

"[G]oing armed in terror of the public"...?

Not just failure, but utter failure.

Daley, Weiss, all the king's horses and all the king's men--they are all powerless to stop the violence and protect lives and property. You know, provide the prime function for justifying paying their worthless asses in the first place.

Which means their interference with those who can stop the violence and protect on the individual level, which is where it happens, is criminal.

What evil damn frauds these gun grabbers are.

Anybody see a majority rule democracy way out of this one?

The Newsweek Challenge

The hatred of ATF, of course, is nothing new. [More]

More of the conflationist nonsense-with-a-purpose we've come to expect from Newsweek. How about instead of making their entire focus those who "hate" ATF, they use those journalist credentials and resources to look at just why that might be the case.

My comment:

Here's what's really "under the radar," and a typical example of how agenda-driven media statists have shed the time-honored role of journalist watchdogs over government to become its guard dogs instead: You Isikoff, and you Hosenball--why not investigate CleanUpATF.org, a website run by bureau whistleblowers detailing corruption and incompetence? Why the media blackout on insiders who are documenting abuses?

Why not look into their charges that "Managers, Counsel, Internal Affairs and staff of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATFE or 'ATF') have repeatedly given false testimony, concealed substantial waste, fraud and abuse, abused their lawful authority, and waged systematic campaigns of reprisal against their own employees that dare to speak out." ?

Or do you expect us to believe this is the first you six-figure (plus?) professionals with a huge news organization and research staff have heard of this?

While you're at it, tell us about the Good O' Boy Roundup. Then tell us why one of the foremost statisticians, Dr. Fritz Scheuren testified to a House committee that the NFRTR (firearms transfer record) "is insufficient for criminal proceedings" and then square that with former ATF NFA branch chief Thomas Busey claiming (on video) "Let me say that when we testify in court, we testify that the data base is 100 percent accurate. That's what we testify to, and we will always testify to that. As you probably well know, that may not be 100 percent true."

In short, how about some journalism from you highly-paid hacks instead of the shallow propaganda attacks conflating Americans who believe in the right to keep and bear arms with domestic terrorists that has become your trademark?

When they don't look into any of this, what will that tell us?

The entire fascist media alliance is pounding on that "patriots = haters" meme for all they're worth, like they want to use it to prime the American public for...what, exactly?

Our best defense against that is to go on the offense with the truth.

This Day in History: April 20

On or about April 20, 1778, Capt. William Patrick of Ichabod Alden’s Massachusetts regiment were ordered to the Schoharie Valley by Gen. John Stark, commander of the Northern Department. Stark gave Patrick this instruction:

"Sir, You will keep continual scouting parties in the adjacent country to where you are posted, to discover the motions and movements of our internal enemies. If any of them should be found under arms, aiding, assisting, or forthwith detect them (if in your power) and with their crimes send them to me or the commanding officer at this place. You will do the utmost in your power to find out if any British Officers should come to that country, as it is highly probable they will do, because they have there so many friends; and let no pains be spared in detecting them, making report of your proceedings, from time to time, to me or the commanding officer at this place."
