Not that I care about this twit's drug use, but it would be nice if the rest of us could lie to investigators and not become "prohibited persons." [Read]
The old pH Factor is really manifesting itself in this one. At this writing, 11,763 of our countrymen have time to weigh in on this vital issue of our times.
A lot of people are going to be simply astonished if they ever find themselves really on their own.
I like to think if I'd been blessed with a daughter, I'd have encouraged her to explore options for developing interests and growth with things like BB guns and microscopes and...
I see the endless stream of Miley Cyrus backpacks and Twilight nonsense and all the mindless, materialistic, vain and vacuous commercial messages aimed at girls in this country and wonder what kind of idiot parent would encourage and abet that--and what kind of sometimes just greedy, sometimes calculated evil minds would exploit it.
South Park nails it.

We're the Only Ones Grounding You Enough
On Monday, St. Paul police were once again checking out reports of strange lights when they found Sawka flying his kites. They cited him for disorderly conduct, public nuisance and being in a park after hours. [More]Yeah, it's not like we easily-spooked and bamboozled primitives are capable of looking at it, thinking it's neat, and maybe investigating things ourselves if we're really all that curious...
This is a job for "law enforcement"!
And, of course, if he didn't obey, "established department protocols" along with the requisite thunderbolts would come into play.
Put the kite down, Franklin, and come along quietly!Is Ike Skelton 'a steadfast supporter of freedom'?
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that all depends on the meaning of the word "steadfast."But the thing is, NRA's Cox didn't describe Skelton in terms confined to just that one issue. He called him "a steadfast supporter of freedom."
Shall we test that? [More]
And "supporter."
And "freedom."

Magazine spotlights UK shootings
It illustrates a larger theme that, in spite of bowing to just about every infringement the gun control crowd can think up, their hypothesis fails in every laboratory where the experiment has been conducted. Guns exist. To try to limit their possession to government is not only an impossible dream, but where it's been tried it invariably produces nightmares. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column heads across the Pond to Sarah Brady Paradise, and then circles back to American newsstands to pick up a copy of my favorite gun rag.

Why is 'child still expelled for toy gun - a year later'?
They've probably made him think there's something wrong with him, and something wrong with being a boy who acts like one. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at more "zero tolerance" from the tolerance über alles--or else crowd.

Watching Alan Gura and the attorneys for the City of Chicago go at it in the Ezell case is like watching a fencing competition. [More]Interesting play-by-play and color commentary here...
We're the Only...What the Hell YOU Lookin' At...?
Drunk and packing heat? You'll be arrested, that is unless you're a cop...Public Safety Committee Chairman Peter Vallone Jr. said state law prevents the city from including on-duty or off-duty cops in the measure. [More]So naturally:

We're the Only Ones Only Human Enough
A police officer is a human being, but we can't tolerate them breaking the law. [More]So he got a year and a day?
What about "federal law requires that a person convicted of possessing half a kilogram or more of cocaine powder be sentenced to at least five years in prison"...?
And no comment on why the pot charges were dismissed?
I guess some humans are more equal than others. Like the "Only Ones" who would happily ruin our lives for what they themselves "profit" from. And who then, presumably, turn snitch on their "benefactors" when it's their turn in the barrel, to mitigate the consequences of their evil cowardice.
Amazing. See this moral defective with a gun and the uniform makes it all OK. See you or me and the whole damn herd spooks and stampedes.
There is a contingent among politically-oriented gun owners who are overtly hostile to the open carry normalizing movement, cautioning that exercising their right to do so will be the cause of the government cracking down with more restrictions. Some of the ugly stuff I have read them post over the recent attempt in California convinces me they hate principled gun owners more than they do outright antis.

We're the Only Ones McMuffing It Enough
Good Lord. Over the suspected theft of two bacon egg and cheese sandwiches from a gas station? [Watch]
I guess we should be thankful Nichols didn't hit his victim. Otherwise, he may have had to put him out of his misery.
I dunno--don't you think a week off without pay is a perfect example of "Only One" overreaction? After all, it's easy to see how he feared for his life!
And what they think ours are worth.

Arbitrary Denial
There are three federal lawsuits pending in Connecticut that challenge the way the state enforces gun laws. In one, Goldberg is suing Glastonbury over his arrest three years ago, claiming he was charged even though there is no state law against openly carrying a sidearm.Yes, I realize this linked story is from April, and the events it reports go back a lot further. I bring it up now as background because Mr. Kuck just sent me a link to his amended complaint.
In the other two, Goldberg and M. Peter Kuck, a member of the state Board of Firearms Permit Examiners, argue separately that arbitrary enforcement of state gun laws by biased police officers has denied or delayed the issuance of handgun permits, resulting in a denial of due process rights to gun owners. [More]
UPDATE: Late breaking news (today) Goldberg v. Glastonbury will go to 2nd circuit due to an unfavorable in District court.
UPDATE 2: "I was just notified of costs awarded by the 2nd circuit court of appeals.
"Not much but a step in the right direction."
We're the Only Ones Ending the Misery Enough
An Alachua County sheriff’s deputy who wanted to put a deer that had been hit by a car out of its misery Wednesday morning fired 17 shots into its stomach before the animal finally died, the Sheriff’s Office reported. [More]I guess because it had hooves he couldn't use the thumbscrews...
For some reason the tragic scene in "Old Yeller" comes to mind:
He was my dog. I'll do it.BLAM! BL-BLAM-BLAM! BLAM.... [Howls and whimpers of agony in background as this is repeated for another minute...]

For the Soul of Mexico
Eighty percent of the 75,000 guns Mexican authorities seized from criminals during the past three years came from the U.S. [More]No they did not either, you incompetent or liar. Which is it, Ted Lewis?
You just blew a great opportunity to reach out to those of us who agree that the "war on [some] drugs" is an unconstitutional pretext for tyranny.
You want to reduce violence? How is urging the government to disarm those of us who WILL NOT going to do that?
Do you think we'll just turn them in for anyone who advocates this?
"[F]ederal...gun policies that must evolve to aid Mexicans fighting to preserve the soul of their country"Hmmm...I see Ted here "directs the Mexico program of Global Exchange"...
Who's up for negotiating our subordination with him? Besides the "intellectual" urban commies at The Seattle Times?
There, I Fixed It For You
The University does not allow weapons on campus property, including concealed handguns. [More]No, the University says it does not allow weapons on campus property, including concealed handguns.
And There Was War in Heaven
Or that other place... [Read]
Seems to me this ought to be eminently exploitable in terms of egging it on.
I do so love it when they eat their own.

Should we believe police who tell us gun laws don't infringe on Constitution?
If we're to believe her, it means we're to believe what was clearly understood yesterday, by serious visionaries who left a record of their intent, means something different today--at least to those who allow themselves to be manipulated because the only records they're interested in all have a backbeat. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks who we should trust when it comes to interpreting our rights. Hint: It ain't Capt. Nancy Dietz.

Covering Tracks
Looks like my "Post the Grades" campaign has resulted in a hastily-constructed explanation:
These ratings were for the June 8 Primary and are not General Election EndorsementsThat way, their talking pointers can deflect the call and tell people they won't release grades until Oct. 1.
But fine.
Where are the June 8 primary grades for the U.S. Senate race? What grades did those candidates get?
Why is that race conspicuously not included? Why can't we know now?
The question for PVF: Will they release Reid/Angle grades at all?

We're the Only Ones Well-Adjusted Enough
Three Dallas police officers face criminal charges after two were accused of beating a motorcyclist after a chase and lying about it in reports and a third adjusted an in-car camera to conceal a portion of the controversial arrest, Chief David Brown said Wednesday. [More]Gee, no wonder they don't want us recording them.

A Position of Authority Within the Gang
Who's Your Daddy?
"Don't forget who is standing with you," the president said as he blamed Republicans for standing in the way of progress. [More]Ah yes--shoulder-to-shoulder with "Give 'em Infierno" Harry's latest "pet cause".
And note the inclusion of "young people who attend college."
That's what we need: fast-track "undocumented" MEChA Aztlan aficionados on that path to U.S. voting booths.
Speaking of which, too bad NRA won't release the grades in the Reid/Angle race. Being a single-issue organization, I guess it's expecting too much for them to tell us how the candidates did on guns.

Feral Priscilla
We humans comprise the one species on Earth whose population is truly out of control -- overriding natural mechanisms that keep living populations in check. We fail to acknowledge how our reckless overdevelopment and penchant for procreation directly impacts and degrades our relationship with deer and other free-living animals, and how that diminishes us as a culture. [More]Oh, now, don't lump us all together. Some of us--the ones who take care of ourselves--are actually under-populating, and that may prove to be the biggest threat we face in securing the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
But, yeah, there is some overpopulation goin' on, and funny--it all seems to be enabled by policies demanded by the control freaks and their useful idiots.
"Our culture," Priscilla, you tool, was built by people much different from you. You and your fellow hive insects are the diminishers.
If there's anything more pathetic than a self-loathing human, I haven't found it.
A Real Lifesaver?
Firearms registry saved my life, says domestic violence survivor [More]That's a whole lotta words for a questionable anecdote that assumes hubby--alone among violent criminals--couldn't have obtained an unregistered gun. And there seem to be a lot of other stories about people who had no such problem--so how a registry would have solved their situation is anybody's guess.
But shouldn't the right of cud-chewers to feel safe account for anything...? I mean, why shouldn't our freedoms be limited by the demands of those who have proven incapable at taking care of themselves?
Should owning a giant pink inflatable pig make you a 'prohibited person'?
If we're to listen to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, Mr. Stilp and everyone else on the list should now be designated "prohibited persons," and forbidden from buying a gun. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column takes the "gun control" scheme du jour to its ridiculous and inevitable conclusion.
"d-D...d-D...d-Dat's all, folks!"--unless and until we get serious and turn things around.
Also, I interview a congressman. Then I get interviewed about a senate race.
