Indianapolis Parenting Examiner Cristi DeHoff is introducing her readers to a subject most parenting advisers either avoid or spread hysteria about.
Check out her two recent entries:
This is exactly the type of expansion into "the mainstream" we need to encourage. Please go on over there and do that, leave a comment if you're so inclined, and share the links.

Registering a Protest
SAN FRANCISCO EYES AMMUNITION REGISTRY; CCRKBA VOWS LAWSUIT [More]It's easy to get to where I just don't give a damn what urban fools do to themselves. It's easy to say those who value freedom but still live there know what they're getting.
Then I get mad at myself. This is supposed to be America. Allowing tyranny to exist unopposed anywhere just gives it a beachhead and then a base from which to spread. And expecting people to up and move is nothing less than standing by and allowing an ideological, as opposed to ethnic "cleansing" to occur.
Besides, where better to confront the enemy than where he lives? Consider the alternative.
I'm glad Alan Gottlieb is not giving up on them. I'm sure he could use some help.
Funny How That Works
The introduction of the flintlock coincided with the largest decline in homicide in English history. [More]Emphasis in original.
To Stallone and Schwarzenegger, your guns are 'the expendables'
"That the star of 'Rambo,' who made his fortune exploiting armed violence, should call on government raids to disarm millions of real veterans and the rest of his countrymen, goes beyond hypocritical. It is contemptible." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the hollow frauds presented to the public as "action heroes."

We're the Only Ones Faithful and Trustworthy Enough
"Letting people record police officers is an extreme and intrusive response to a problem that’s so rare it might as well not exist. It would be like saying we should do away with DNA evidence because there’s a one in a billion chance that it could be wrong. At some point, we have to put some faith and trust in our authority figures." [More]Well, hey, if this flack says they're A-OK, who am I to argue?
I mean, we see how much faith and trust the FOP puts in us...

It's Not Luck
While the confluence of the low ammunition production capacity, two foreign battlefronts, the Obama Victory, and the Great Recession created a perfect storm for ammunition demand, the recognition of these macro-forces weren’t the cause that prompted the co-founders of LuckyGunner.com to start a new business.

NRA lets down TX (and all) gun owners with Chet Edwards endorsement
I expressed concerns over NRA characterizing Edwards as "a strong and consistent voice for freedom and for defending the rights of Texas gun owners, hunters and sportsmen" almost two years ago. If you look at the man's record, he's been neither. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another sellout endorsement even the "single issue" excuse doesn't work for.

We're the Only Ones Dropped Enough
“Lab tests showed the gun had been wiped clean,” reports the St. Petersburg Times. “No fingerprints were on it — not Victor’s, not anyone’s.” Either the mortally wounded teenager — despite being nearly cut in half by Ard’s cruiser — managed to wipe the gun clean in the seconds before he died, or Ard planted a “drop gun” to provide a retroactive pretext for his pursuit of the teenager.
After seeing the video, an investigator for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement asked Ard if he had planted the gun. The subject was promptly dropped when Ard denied that he had done so. [More]
No need to wonder what the cop was doing for the 40 seconds the dashcam showed him hunkering down by the body. Despite no evidence that he committed any crime and a life history that suggests he was an OK kid, the dead boy got what was coming to him and the officer followed protocol.

We're the Only Ones "Bearing" Arms Enough
Unless you're a trained cop, you will not be able to pull your gun out, aim, and shoot it dead with the fear of a charging Grizzly Bear. [More]Good grief. Until now, I hadn't realized that this was also among the magic "Only Ones" powers conveyed by the amulet and costume.
Funny. I just got done talking about parks.
If you think it will do any good, go on over there and see if you can make any headway--probably not with the author, but perhaps there are some open minds in his readership who will be receptive to arguments that aren't, you know, stupid...

A Walk in the Park
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — An escaped killer with a handgun and a hitchhiking sign expressed relief at his capture on Monday after 10 days on the run, while authorities searched to the north of this tourist-packed park for a second fugitive and his female accomplice, a self-styled "Bonnie and Clyde." [More]But..but...but...we don't need guns in parks...so it's a good thing he never actually apparently crossed the boundary.
And thank goodness for that, because no one has done an environmental impact study...

We're the Only Ones "Gun Nutty" Enough
The NYPD has suspended or revoked more than two dozen pistol licenses of retired cops whose names surfaced in an ongoing federal corruption probe, first reported in yesterday's Post, targeting crooked lawyers and psychiatrists who helped the former Finest obtain Social Security disability benefits by feigning mental illness, sources said. [More]Yeah--faking they're crazy--talk about a sure sign that someone has it all together...
We're the Only Ones Not to be Second-Guessed Enough
Four cops - one in uniform, several in plainclothes with badges displayed - who were approaching the fight from several directions responded with a volley of 46 shots, likely killing one of the fighters, wounding the second 21 times and striking three civilians and two officers.At least not by the authority worshiping "Authorized Journalists" of the New York Daily News.
Pending the outcome of investigations by the NYPD and the Manhattan district attorney's office, the cops are not to be second-guessed. [More]

First we have Campbell herself.

Let Me See If I Have This Straight
If you limit guns to Mexican "Only Ones," they'll turn corrupt and use them to spread violent crime.
The solution, therefore, is more U.S. "gun control" affecting you and me. Along with creating a magic border portal that will let people cross north, but keep guns from crossing south.
That's pretty much the conclusion I'm getting from these two stories.
Still, there is one idea I could get on board with, but we'd need to adopt a similar policy here.
