Something Must Be Done!

The Gray Lady suffers Montezuma's Revenge and soils herself  [Read]

Hey, I just thought of a new statistic that might be helpful at putting things into perspective:

100% of Mexican crime guns are used illegally by criminals.

Without exception!

What is this, some sort of search for common ground?
It is hard to believe that most ordinary N.R.A. members would not agree something must be done about the cross-border sale of war weapons that underpins the drug scourge. 

Speaking only for myself, yeah, I do.  It's just not the same "something" you bloomer-soilers want done, which Kurt does a nice job explaining.

And as far as this goes:
If it takes an executive order to cut the carnage, President Obama should not hesitate.
You'd think people covering politics for as long as they have would be a lot smarter than that.

Wait a minute...I thought the whole point behind assigning "Only Ones" powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men was that they're supposed to be MORE trusted... [Read]

This Day in History: December 17

By the time Hamilton entered Vincennes on December 17, so many Indians had joined the expedition that his force had increased to 500 men. As Hamilton approached Fort Sackville, the French-Canadian militia under Captain Helm deserted, leaving the American commander and a few soldiers to surrender. The townsfolk promptly renounced their allegiance to the United States and renewed their oaths to King George. After the recapture of Vincennes, most of the Indians and Detroit militia went home. Hamilton settled in at Fort Sackville for the winter with a garrison of about 90 soldiers, planning to retake the remaining Illinois towns in the spring.

Some People Shouldn't Have Guns

Some people shouldn't have water. [Read]

My vote would be, since you can't trust him with it, don't let him have any.

We're the Only Ones Sharing the Christmas Spirit Enough

About 100 guests came and went from the celebration during the course of the evening, but only sheriff's deputies were involved in the scuffle.[More]
And it surprises anyone to think they're the "Only Ones" who can't celebrate non-violently why again? 


And oh look:
It was unclear if alcohol was involved, but sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said "it was a Christmas party, one could assume there was" drinking.
Better not let you and me carry into an Applebees though, even if we don't drink anything. We're just not as awesomely trustworthy as these trained professional "peace officers."

Not that we have to worry about that in L.A., that is, if we're part of the crowd that advocates enforcing existing gun laws.

Actually, it's worth one.

We're the Only Ones Forced Busing Enough

One witness described the exchange saying, “The officer (Erin Robles) initially confronted the student over a cigar. Some words were exchanged and the officer “slammed the student into a wall, threw him on the ground, took out her Pepper Spray, slammed him into the bus, broke the window out of the bus with his head, sprayed him in the face and slammed him into the bus some more.” [More]

It's what the shapers want. [Read]

How about you?

[Via Vanderboegh]

If We Could Only Find the Right Words

Should the Constitution be amended to give the states veto power over the federal government? [More]
Government doesn't obey its clear proscriptions now. What makes anyone think they won't show new rules the same disregard, and find new opportunities to exploit and new incentives to corrupt?

The deficiency isn't in the incantation.  It's in the compliance mechanism.

There's not enough "or else" in the cost/benefit ratio to dissuade those who would abuse into reconsidering what's in their rational self-interest.
 
Ultimately, we already have "veto power."

[Via Skip]

Due Process

The killing was a shocking end for a notoriously brutal man who had terrorized the area for years with seeming impunity from the law until he was struck down in a moment of vigilante justice. [More]
If people can't get justice and protection from official or private tyranny any other way, don't be surprised when they "take the law into their own hands."

What did Mr. Kennedy say?

It might be fair to ask whose law is it, anyway?

[Via Ed M]

This ordinance shall not restrict the use of a facsimile firearm for self defense of a person’s residence or place of business. [More]
Just in case you've received professional training that says your best defense is an impotent bluff.

We're the Only Ones Endangered Enough

City with strictest gun control laws has most officers killed by gunfire [More]
Well then, stop it.

No "Only Ones" makes everyone safer?

Who'da thunk it?

Return of "The Human Target"

The Brady Campaign today announced that it and Colin Goddard, an Assistant Director of Legislative Affairs at the Brady Campaign, would be active in opposing concealed weapons on campuses in Texas and other states. [More]
Naturally. If his core competency is to be a human target, imagine how the thought of a man who's not helpless and useless in an active shooting situation must threaten his self-image.

While the Bradys expect his story will elicit sympathy from the sob-sisters, I think this pegs what the guy's about as well as anything.

What, they think because of what he endured he should be somehow sacrosanct, untouchable from repercussions, criticism and scorn?

Screw him. And them. He's endangering us all, and trying to impose his will to overrule what is rightfully our choice.

Bare your throat, Colin. Leave mine out of it.

Where Baddies Get Their Guns

Surprise!  From the "illegal" market. [More]

Which means it's time for us to demand a crackdown on "legal" owners who submit to the bend-and-spread-'em nonsense to get permission. And to bitch about other areas "where gun laws are lax."

It's what we faux government watchdog "Authorized Journalists" do.

All hail the state!

We're the Only Ones Unidentified Enough

We talked about this the other day.

Now we find the cops never even ID'd themselves before opening fire and hosing the poor guy.

I used to live in Long Beach--I owned my first property there, and did not walk the streets unarmed, which would have made me a "gun criminal" who some would say "makes us all look bad" if caught by the same "Only Ones" who murder citizens.

I have some good stories about the place I won't relate here, that more than justify my decision in my mind.  If you ever find yourself across a campfire from me, and the cigars are burning smoothly and we just poured in another two fingers over the ice, ask.

Atlanta lifts airport unsecured area gun ban

While this report focuses on unsecured public areas in airport terminals, such bans also mean “law-abiding” travelers to and from the airport could be left defenseless in sparsely-populated parking areas, as well as for the duration of their trips to and from the airport to pick up or drop off passengers. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes a travel safety enhancement, which naturally, the government doesn't like since it doesn't depend on them.

Also resolve to watch more television and marvel at the halo on a Christmas messenger...

This Day in History: December 16

The newly-acquired Patriot privateer Sally, led by Capt. Benjamin Stone, had a short engagement with a large British transport ship. After having several men killed and wounded and no wind to maneuver his ship the captain had his men row the ship to a safe distance from the enemy before returning to Charleston. Capt. Francis Johnson and five other sailors were killed by enemy musket fire. Twelve men were wounded. [More]

Tolerance and Diversity



I know some academic leftist "feminist" tolerance and diversity "activists" who would be treated in precisely this manner if the whip-wielders had their way. Actually worse--all this poor creature did was wear slacks. Can you imagine what these savages would do to a woman who committed more serious expected gender behavior-related "transgressions"?

But it's us throwbacks who are the enemy.

Maybe we could get a few of those guys to immigrate here, maybe drive the cabs Americans won't drive, and basically help us secure the blessings of Liberty, seeing as how all cultures are equal and we should celebrate our diversity or else we'll get called the "R" word by the very people they'd cheerfully stone to death.

No thanks. The one I see is quite close enough. [Read]

Although for some reason, I can't get this out of my head.

Yo, Elohim, dude-- d'jever stop to think it might be you...?

I wonder what some of our gun control luminaries would do if this young worthy decided he wanted something from them...?

Vomit?

Surrender?

Scream?

Pop?

Why, Indeed?

I ask a question based on Kurt's GRE post yesterday.

And yeah, I see-- I left out the "to."

Persian carpet-weaving at its finest...right?

Super Fly

I note the Fly Cuts & Styles barber shop is in Sacramento, essentially "shall not issue" territory unless you're a politically-connected elite, and as we all know, open carry in CA requires the guns be unloaded. [Read]

Might it be safe to assume that myriad Golden State "gun control" laws didn't stop a damn thing here?

We're the Only Ones Influenced Enough

In May, gun industry lobbyist Lawrence Keane gave the FOP's charitable arm $100,000 from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the industry group representing gun manufacturers. Keane said the gift was unrelated to the FOP's positions on issues. [More]
I should hope it was unrelated. In spite of the occasional concession, the frickin' FOP has been a leading voice for citizen disarmament since the old HCI days, and makes it clear their priorities are ones of your rights be damned when they conflict with their self-interest.

And how interesting to see their former BATFUer lobbyist Pasco is BFF with Waco Jim

How typical that the Judenrat contingent thinks if it plays nice the monster won't turn on it.  And how timely that I saw this talking point advocated the other day by an apologist for a more pragmatic approach:

If we lose cops, we lose.

Yeah, right.  Pray that approach will work. I mean, as long as "we" are already on our knees...

Florida school board shooting shows failure of ‘gun control’ on multiple counts

Superintendent Bill Husfelt, who acted bravely, albeit futilely, had time to say “Please don’t” before assailant Duke opened fire.  The rest had to resign themselves to diving for cover in terror.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a failed three strikes policy: "Gun-free zones," expecting criminals to obey "gun control" laws, and relying on the "Only Ones" to protect you.

That's OK by me if your ability to conduct your business as you see fit is progressively eroded.  Too bad for you that instead of partnering with freedom advocates, and maybe learning something, you're determined to impose limitations on them instead.

It's Friday. That means after I grill my steaks (thanks for the Cajun spices, Mr. G!) it's the enclosed porch for me, with maybe about two--hell, make it three-- fingers of the good stuff (at a fraction of what you'd charge), a nice maduro (with nobody telling me I can't light up), genuine companionship, and unfettered access to whatever I decide is appropriate in terms of personal security measures.
