A south Georgia police officer has been suspended without pay after his indictment on federal firearm charges along with two pawn shop owners and two store employees following an undercover investigation. [More]I sometimes get the feeling this whole unreal "Only Ones" phenomenon is a bad reality show.
A Raleigh police officer was arrested Tuesday on charges that he posed as a dead man to get a prescription painkiller. [More]Sounds like he could use more Brainnnsss...
Do you get the feeling that perhaps there’s a bit of projection going on? I mean, how could you trust others to behave responsibly when that ability is apparently so personally elusive?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column introduces you to a convicted "gun criminal" and Brady Campaign pick who doesn't trust YOU with guns.
And it gets better. Guess who endorsed Myers in 2008? And guess whose proposed laws get cited in a propaganda report demanding to shut down “rogue gun dealers” in PA? [More]
Portland police Chief Mike Reese announced today that he's suspending Capt. Mark Kruger for 80 hours without pay and sending him to "Tools for Tolerance" training for erecting a public tribute to five Nazi-era German soldiers at a city park while employed by the police bureau.[More]I love it: As punishment, the wacky Portland national socialists are sending him to a Tolerance Lager.
If Obama perceives his presidency is going to be a one-termer, or even if he’s gambling that conditions will change enough to make the fallout to his next campaign worth the risk of a temporary appointment, what’s the downside? After all, what’s he going to do—make conservative gun owners not want to vote for him?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks "What if?" And more importantly, "What's to stop him?"
Is this going to happen? Is this a real danger?
Who knows? Maybe not.
The point is, it could. [More]
In a November 17, 1778 letter to his superiors in Canada, Butler blamed Joseph Brant and his Indians for the massacre of the inhabitants of Cherry Valley. Contrarily, American historical records report it was Butler who ordered the killing of the women and children at Cherry Valley, not Brant. [More]Hence the first documented use of "The Butler did it"...?
Philadelphia officials clear 19,400 fugitives [More]Well...yeah.
Tashonna Wicks wants to attend Kilgore College next semester. She was surprised by the notion, "Not everyone is responsible enough," she said. [More]Well, if you wish to be less than a full citizen and relegate yourself to being dumb meat, Tashonna, I support that--just as long as you don't also expect me to support you.
It is a human calculation.
Drew Binkley was promoted to deputy sheriff because of his hard work, dedication and years of service ... not because he is screwing the sheriff's daughter...you better look in your policy manual at the reasons you may be dismissed #10, page four which states 'publicly criticizing any official decision or policy. P.S. You screw with me and I'll use #10 on you. [More]
He was taught the values of honesty, fairness, and respect for others and their feelings... He believes in equal justice for all...I believe in a friendly and peaceful work place, a work place where individuals respect each other, a work place free of racism, sexual harassment and violence.[Via FFFW]
A dog rescued from Afghanistan after she alerted soldiers to a suicide bomber was accidentally euthanized at an Arizona shelter on Monday. A Pinal County Animal Care and Control employee has been placed on administrative leave for failing to follow procedures and euthanizing the wrong dog. [More]Well, there's a missed opportunity...
You got that, right? They’re the same gun. If you put one produced before the deadline and one produced after it side by side, you would not be able to tell the difference. They would look and function identically. Own one without registration and you’re fine. Own the other without registration and you’re looking at serious time in the federal slammer, as well as becoming a “prohibited person”-- for life. Assuming you survive the arrest.[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at yet another outrageous and absurd BATFU inconsistency that they nevertheless can and do destroy people over--and evidently, all for no good reason.
“I wish to have no Connection with any Ship that does not Sail fast for I intend to go in harm's way.” [More]
“We need the hammer,” said the mayor about the city’s ceaseless pattern of gang- and illegal drug trade-related shootings. [More]Because poor New Jersey just doesn't have strong enough "gun control" laws.
Someone broke into a law enforcement training center in July, stealing nearly $7,000 in guns, and federal investigators are seeking help from the public to solve the case. [More]Gee, I wonder who that "someone" was, how he knew they were there, and why they weren't locked up in a safe...I also wonder how come we're just now hearing about this...
The incident marks the second armed robbery around the Harvard campus in the past several days, following the mugging a man in Harvard Yard early Thursday morning. It is unclear if the two robberies are connected... [More]Well I can think of one connection: In both incidents, the victims were unprepared to do anything but obey and hope the assailant would let them escape with their lives.
The New Jersey governor not only rocked on the 2010 campaign trail, he quickly became a regular on short lists of Republican presidential prospects. [More]
That would seem to indicate there’s no issue with violating National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) requirements, right? No worries if you own one, or want to buy one…?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column won't urge you to get a grip unless and until the risks for doing so are determined.
Not so fast. If the pistol grip firearms are not “shotguns,” what are they? [More]
Here’s something that hasn’t been discussed much—outside of this readership—concerning the head of the EPA who allowed the petition to move forward in spite of a clear lack of authority to approve it:Today's Gun Rights Examiner column highlights my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" effort--and notes a way to minimize self-inflicted wounds.
…Jackson "was responsible for banning bear hunting in New Jersey," and yet she was confirmed by the Senate despite that established history. Supporting such candidates should always be graded as an anti-gun vote. We just can't afford to let them slip under the radar.That’s something we who believe in the right to keep and bear arms need to demand from our “gun lobby” groups if we hope to see things change. [More]
It's interesting that Gresham noticed the deflection from the issues he'd raised to discuss promotional points he had not. That's an M.O. the ACLU has employed before, particularly where the Second Amendment is concerned. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an unconvincing response, which, when you consider who's giving it, shouldn't really surprise anyone.
Xu Lindong’s confinement in a locked mental ward was all the more notable, his brother says, for one extraordinary fact: he was not the least bit deranged. Angered by a dispute over land, he had merely filed a series of complaints against the local government. The government’s response was to draw up an order to commit him to a mental hospital — and then to forge his brother’s name on the signature line. [More]
"This is a sad day for all us when police choose not to do their job, lie, cheat and cover up things and are still allowed to keep their jobs,'' said the woman, who did not wish to be identified for fear of retribution. "It is hard to have any faith in the system." [More]Should we tell her...?
Brunswick burglar fatally shot by a longtime friend [More]
Officer Kenneth Simon, 49, was charged today with perjury, official oppression, conspiracy, theft, obstruction and other charges for his role in a July drug bust at a North Side car wash. Officer Anthony Scarpine, 58, was charged with conspiracy, obstruction, official oppression and unsworn falsification to authorities. [More]Two old guys? Can we assume that means they've been allowed to get away with "few bad appling" for some time?
The fact remains—ATF has the testing conclusions to execute this aborted ruling if and when they wish to—in fact, if their analysis about what constitutes a United States Code-defined “firearm” is "correct"—and if they don’t know, who does?—this could be a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of airgun dealers and owners that could be dropped at any time. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an agency with the power to destroy your life that evidently makes things up as it goes along.
'Scene safe' protocol keeps Aurora Fire paramedics from helping man bleeding to death [More]This is a job for Kenneth Stokes!

Airsoft Insanity. ATF, having plunged its left arm in a pot of boiling oil over pistol grip shotguns, sticks its right in over Airsoft "machine guns." [More]Sipsey Street Irregulars brings us this latest in an ongoing saga.
If, in fact, these toy guns pose a legal and real danger, is everyone in possession of such a lower receiver now in possession of an illegal firearm?UPDATE: Mike doesn't think the cache business is necessarily innocuous either.
Will there be a recall? Will BATFE issue a circular to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers...and local law enforcement?
Importantly, will anyone who has one now be in danger of being classified a felon if it can be proven they know about this, making their possession or transfer of their airsoft gun "willful," and thus subject to criminal prosecution?
Do we now have a new crop of criminals? Hundreds or thousands of them? How could that not be the case?
Bush Would Have Endorsed Obama [Read]The "Vote Freedom First" President? This is my shocked face.
There are no more useless creatures than centrist Republicans.On one level I agree. On another, I think some understand and exploit their usefulness quite well, and I don't just mean as idiots.
Court officer in bathroom accidentally shoots self [More]And for "Only Ones" flushed with pride at the exalted seat they strain to occupy, this type of sh... goes on all the time.
Now that looks like a ”Human Target” who wouldn’t emerge from Virginia Tech a professional victim hitting the Oprah circuit! [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at two human targets, one fictional, and asks why real ones should be required.
On this day in 1778, Patriot Colonel Ichabod Alden refuses to believe intelligence about an approaching hostile force. As a result, a combined force of Loyalists and Native Americans, attacking in the snow, killed more than 40 Patriots, including Alden, and took at least an additional 70 prisoners, in what is known today as the Cherry Valley Massacre. The attack took place east of Cooperstown, New York, in what is now Otsego County. [More]
As Mayor Adam Bradley's long-awaited domestic violence trial began Monday, his wife — whose words have only trickled out through leaked e-mails and police statements — took the stand to accuse her husband of kicking, taunting and abusing her. [More]Now understand I'm not saying I necessarily believe the wife. I've got all kinds of documentation of false accusations, particularly resulting from domestic disputes. There are a lot of crazy partners out there, and the man is innocent until proven guilty.
Georgia and other states with weak gun laws have more crime. [More]This assumes a cause and effect relationship between citizen disarmament edicts and criminal behavior--and that guns cause crime.
From 1992 to 2008, nearly 2,000 New York Police Department officers were arrested, according to the department’s own annual reports of the Internal Affairs Bureau, an average of 119 a year.
A campuswide alert warning of a gunman at the University of Missouri-St. Louis this morning turned out to have been caused by a longtime professor carrying antique guns as props for a class lecture, officials said. [More]

A lobbyist known as one of California's most successful power brokers while serving as a legislative leader in that state paid Rep. Maxine Waters' husband $15,000 in consulting fees at a time she was co-sponsoring legislation that would help save the real-estate finance business of one of the lobbyist's best-paying clients, records show. [More]That would be Mike Roos, co-author of California's Roberti-Roos "assault weapons" ban.
Hobbs was first suspended in 2002 for having sex with another Portland cop while one of the two was on duty and using police mobile computer e-mails to facilitate the relationship. She was set to face the same discipline for continuing to use work e-mails to arrange on-duty clandestine meetings with the same colleague in 2005. [More]So at $2,000 and 100 hours of paid vacation time restored, how much does that work out to?
Adams sought input on the proposals from community groups, local and state officials, attorneys and criminal justice experts. [More]Yeah, except when he got input he didn't like, he whined about "bullying tactics".
Under the new laws, introduced last year, dogs can be declared menacing if they cause fear, which could include a behaviour such as rushing at a person on the other side of a fence. [More]We must ban deadly assault Chihuahuas. Because we all have a right to "feel" safe...
Just in case you were wondering who agrees with the SPLC’s and Waco Jim’s concerns about you being an armed conservative or libertarian… and about the type of company the fascist opposition keeps. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at--when you stop and think about it--some natural allies.

We don’t need guns. [More]Yes, you do.
The Applicant does not agree with the licensing provisions of The Firearms Act and related provisions of The Criminal Code of Canada (the "Code"). He does not believe that he, or any "law abiding citizen", should ave to hold a license or register his weapons. He has been peacefully, although at times not lawfully, protesting the licensing and registration requirements of the Firearms Act and related provisions for over a decade. [More]Interesting case out of Canada...
Silvia is accused of waving a loaded gun at two restaurant workers in Newport, R.I. early on Oct. 31. Newport police said he was too drunk after his arrest to fingerprint him immediately. [More]The good news is "termination" is one of the options.
Phoenix Refuses Appeal to Reason [More]We talked about this outrage here.
Why you may soon need a warmist’s permission to eat [More]You can't make this stuff up. The control freaks are literally monstrous, evil, degenerates.
Oklahoma's Ban on Shariah Law Blocked [More]Of course it was. What do you expect, that "establishment of religion" hooey to discriminate against diversity?
Many accused Moynihan, who was white, of "blaming the victim:" of saying that black behavior, not racism, was the main cause of black problems. [More]That is so unfair, to expect human beings to realize that sex can result in pregnancy. What the hell is wrong with racists who believe that?
During his testy exchange, O'Donnell also revealed his agenda to "ban all guns in America."[More]I guess those "slippery slope" Cassandras were wrong. This hive insect advocates a sheer cliff.
