Notes from the Resistance...
I guess a mind not addled by years of drug and alcohol abuse would understand the flip side to that question would be why not just send the guns? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column bites the heads off some anti-gun "researchers."
"I'm not going to second-guess my officers on the street," he said. "Audio and video can sometimes not tell the whole story."Then again, chief, sometimes they can.
Two more Akron police officers are on leave amid suspicion of using anabolic steroids, a department spokesman confirmed Thursday. [More]"Only Ones" with roid rage. What could go wrong?
Four Officers Among Several Indicted in RI Drug Probe...You know, another Mayor Against (Your) Guns (TIE'-runt).
The three other officers were arrested in March. They include a narcotics detective and a former police driver for Providence Mayor David Cicilline (sis-uh-LEE’-nee). [More]
You don't like it, leave. Your parents can do the same if it bothers them. Otherwise, deal with it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at counsel to a hoplophobe that's surprisingly good, considering the source.
Our troops here are in as high health as ever men were, & in no skirmishing during the whole winter have the rebel parties stood before them...not less than 1000 prisoners here; near thrice that number have deserted from them since we came here. Washington's head quarters are still at Valley forge; his numbers are variously talked of from 8000 to 12,000...The Virginians are so tired of the service that the Congress cannot raise men though they are offering 50 pounds of bounty to a single man...[More]
[Click to enlarge]Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to protect the environment. [More]It always amuses/irritates me to see some snotty Brit disparage RKBA.
What do you think contributes more to society? A cutting-edge modern art gallery in one of the most famous and cosmopolitan cities in the world, or a drive-through liquor store that sells cheap guns with no waiting period in Wyoming? [More]Does the store carry cigars?
Police shoot contrary cow [More]Well, I know they were only following established protocols, but some enlightened "Only Ones" have established contented cows are preferable to contrary one...
"I'm not going to say anything further," said Liebman. "You need to look at the education code." [More]I'm not going to say anything further, either, Mark. Your attitude says it all.
What's clear is that the U.S. Supreme Court in the recently decided Heller case has ruled that the Second Amendment does grant the right to bear arms to individuals. [More]Stop right there.
As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.?
The photographer said he stayed in bed for a while after being robbed, too scared to move and worrying about what was happening in other rooms. [More]And what have we learned...?
What have you ordered your deputies to do should they encounter an armed citizen? When you say your position is you won't allow it, does that mean you're prepared to have your agents use armed force to stop it? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that being unlawfully denied fundamental rights during a day at the park is no picnic.
| Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Integrity, loyalty, morality as expressions of Patriotism. Parachute jump teacher saves student from sure death.  Dave was the instructor. His student, a woman, was a total newbie. The day for the parachute jump was beautiful: sunny, clear, warm. Dave gave Shirley her briefing before they took off in the airplane to jump - in tandem (that means attached to each other), as he has done hundreds of times. This day was different. This day the parachute did not deploy properly and they were spinning to their certain deaths. More. . _________________________________________________________ |

Russian emigre Leon Weinstein has a warning to Americans now experiencing what Russians experienced in the early days of Communism. The Genesis is identical.

| AWR Hawkins, Ph.D. Military History. Gun Control: The ultimate human rights violation.  The most telling aspect of the left's obsession with human rights is not so much what its proponents claim to defend but what they would be happy to sacrifice. And one thing all human rights activists are perpetually ready to jettison is the right Americans enjoy in keeping and bearing arms. More |
| Walter Williams, Ph.D. Who's to blame?  If our founders could see today's federal government, it would be unrecognizable to their vision. In fact, their vision has been turned upon its head, so that the powers of the state governments are "few and defined" and those of the federal government "are numerous and indefinite." Who is to blame for a federal government that spends a third of our income, regulates most every aspect of our lives, and has snuffed out the personal liberty envisioned by our founders?

| Tenth Amendment Center. Arizonans dare to defy the feds again. Derek Sheriff  Just when you thought Arizona couldn't get any more provocative, or push any more of the federal government's buttons, it looks like America's 48th state may actually become the 15th state to adopt another very controversial law! This proposed law, on the other hand, may actually make some people on the Left, as well as the Right, happy for a change. I have my doubts about whether it will make those who put party above principle, or anyone employed by the U.S. Department of Justice happy, however.

| David Codrea. Second Amendment. What does Sharron Angle victory in Nevada U.S. Senate primary mean for gun owners?  "Sharron Angle wins; Harry Reid gets race he wanted," the Las Vegas Sun headline tells us about Nevada's U.S. Senate race. Sharron Angle, a former Reno assemblywoman and Tea Party favorite, emerged from Tuesday's Republican primary, lifted to a landslide by a solid base of conservative supporters but carrying political baggage that experts say gives the embattled Reid a new lease on political life. And why would that be? More . . . ________________________________________________________ |

While many readers of this column's Wednesday edition became embroiled in the debate about how effective or ineffective British gun laws were because of the mass shooting by cabbie Derrick Bird in Northwest England, one Brit psychologist identified by ITN News as Dr. James Thompson, put this incident - and perhaps all such incidents - in proper perspective.

An off-duty sheriff's deputy is under investigation for allegedly firing a gun on the crowded Redondo Beach pier during an argument with his girlfriend. [More]I know that pier well. It used to be a walk from our house. We've patronized many of the places there, for years, including the restaurant mentioned in this story. We've taken the kids there many times, always seeming to wind up in the Fun Factory arcade.
They'll see and they'll know and they'll say "Why he wouldn't even harm a fly."The Preamble is a statement of political purpose, a legal mandate and requirement, and a strict rule of interpretation. All the powers and disabilities (that is, absences of power) that follow in the body of the Constitution are to be construed in light of, and to be employed so as to advance, all of the goals the Preamble sets forth, not to thwart, subvert, or ignore any of them. [More]Too many have fallen for the fraud that being secured is the same thing as being secure.
An Anderson police officer has been arrested, charged with raping a woman on the way to jail. [More]Huh. It certainly reveals an attitude that he can do whatever he pleases with someone he has power over. How you treat those really does define character, don't you think?
Committee holsters guns-in-church bill [More]I'm sure State Sen. Karen Peterson, D-New Orleans, who "voted against the bill" would be real useful in a situation where someone ignored the damn law and did what they felt like.
80-year-old beaten cross likely used as a murder weapon, say police.I wonder if someone being bludgeoned to death in church by a maniac would find themselves wishing they could make it stop?
Churchgoing Lilian Wilson...was found by the pastor of her church Central United Methodist in Hamlin, Ark., Sunday afternoon...
Now an MP is calling on the Home Secretary to look at legislation to stop people having access to guns, as Derrick Bird did. [More]
Sheriff Hutchens wins election [More]The people have spoken, and your rights ARE subject to their will--if you let them be.
Ah yes. If you believe in that Constitution Reid swore an oath to uphold, you're "wacky." Let the conflation with extremists and haters begin. You know, the "progressive" M.O. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explores the all-too-familiar divide between "pragmatist" and "principles freak."
In Congress, June 9, 1778: Whereas doubts have arisen, as to the sum which shall be paid for the rations which now may be due and owing to officers in the service of these states ... resolved, that the value of the rations due since the first day of last January till the first instant, be estimated at one third of a dollar...
