“I think we’re all sick” about the allegations, Police Chief Rick Armstrong said yesterday. I think we’re embarrassed.” [More]No doubt. Having this stuff come to light about your "elites" has gotta be a real downer. Kind'a makes me wonder about the ones who aren't so special and trusted...
The guy who runs this site:

could use some help as well, although he would probably prefer any leads towards a job using his skills. He provides and compiles his info in an unbiased manner and I believe he deserves support for his efforts.
Happy New Year!

"It's true. Pure fact verified. Ongoing inv(estigation..." [More]I have done everything I can to responsibly investigate and verify this--otherwise, I would not have run it.

University president Michael Young wrote in a memo that “having weapons in plain sight on this campus creates a fearful and intimidating campus environment.” [More]I dunno, Mike, if we're talking environmental issues here, have you seen how long it takes these things to degrade in a landfill?

Regular readers will recall how the criminal enterprise started by rogue Mexican special forces operatives has expanded its influence—first as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel and now as a rival power. That they’ve established themselves in neighboring Guatemala is hardly surprising, and would appear to circumstantially dovetail with another development being reported by Tim Johnson, Mexico Bureau Chief for McClatchy Newspapers...[More]This Gun Rights Examiner column notes that ours isn't the only border with Mexico.
The American prisoners, finding themselves confined, employed considerable Yankee ingenuity attempting to escape. On January 5, 1779 alone, 100 escaped from Old Mill Prison. "Some went over the wall, some tunneled under the wall, others bribed guards, some walked out dressed as officials, another tried to get into a coffin as a replacement for one of their number who had died, while several less scrupulous connived with members of the local populace who helped them escape and then brought them back to collect the five pounds reward, which they afterwards shared." Splitting the reward was a good way for the prisoners to raise money. Once they escaped they needed money to purchase their passage to France. [More]
"The single purpose of society, indeed, is to protect the individual, and to give him the strength of the public arm, in defence of his just and natural right." – John Witherspoon, The Druid, Article II, The Works of John Witherspoon, pg. 156 [Read]It's not about guns, it's about freedom.
The president of Fraternal Order of Police Union Lodge 126 says he believes the men who called in sick Friday were actually sick and not participating in a work stoppage as a letter hand delivered to most of the officers said.Yeah, just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Listen to him. [Read]The Human Target, who is NOT anti-gun (just ask ABC!), agrees wholeheartedly with Monsieur LaPierre that:

Which is why it’s incumbent on those of us who aren’t “Authorized Journalists” to heed Patrick Henry and apply his “Guard with jealous attention the public liberty” admonition to every hit piece where we see ignorance, an agenda, and outright...uh...fabrications. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes the media's "top men" say it's absurd to expect them to present the simple truth. Based on results, it's even more absurd for us to expect them to.

But here’s the thing about the privileged Ms. Twain employing armed guards (lawbreaking or otherwise) in the first place—she’s a big advocate of infringements against those of us who can’t afford an armed security presence and must rely on being our own first line of defense. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes those who've got theirs don't necessarily care if you get yours...besides, if you were anybody important, you'd have been invited.
Funny. I don’t seem to recall any of the anti-personal defense crowd recommending regional “home rule” carve-out exclusions to any of their dream edicts. They always seem to be binding everywhere…you know, one size fits all…Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes "home rule" begins at home, not at City Hall or the State House, and that the object is properly "self rule."
And by the way, what exactly "works in Chicago"? [More]
There’s more at issue than that—nothing less than the lives and safety of gun owners who are breaking no law—but are nonetheless being physically endangered by those sworn to uphold and protect the law. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes the biggest danger presented by open carry comes from "Only Ones" openly carrying in the service of the state.

Or maybe you’re just…uh…making it all up...[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a queasy, delusional lying hoplophobe.
These characters must not slumber nor sleep at home in such times of pressing danger; they must not content themselves in the enjoyment of places of honor or profit in their own country while the common interests of America are moldering and sinking into irretrievable (if a remedy is not soon applied) ruin, in which theirs also must ultimately be involved. [More]Yep.
Goodbye, my friend. What an honor it was to know you. I am so grateful for the work you did on behalf of freedom, and for the legacy you leave behind.Incredibly sad news I just learned of...
May we be worthy of it. [More]

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence today filed a brief in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas urging the dismissal of an NRA lawsuit claiming that teens and young persons ages 18-20 have a constitutional right to buy handguns from gun shops.

As has the astounding corruption of both Mexican military and police forces, from whose ranks the narcoterrorist Los Zetas sprang, first as enforcers, and now as prime players in their own right.
But we’re to believe it’s due to that “wide gulf in gun laws.” [More]

Two men are in jail, accused of robbing an Inver Grove Heights man and attacking him with a battle axe. [More]Dang. Didn't they know that was illegal?
But Colin’s not “anti-gun.”Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at some people who say they merely want to set a few standards.
And neither is oozing-with-sympathy Roberts, who tells him “I'm so glad that you're doing well and you’re doing the work…that you are doing, Colin.”
...You believe that, right?[More]
British Attack on Savannah December 28, 1778
By 1778, the British altered their strategy to subdue the American rebellion. An army of over 3,000 British regulars, German mercenaries and American Loyalists sailed from New York to capture Savannah. Under the command of Lt. Col. Archibald Campbell, the expedition would use the city as a base of operations against Patriot forces in the South. The British advance into Savannah was virtually uncontested by the surprised Georgia Continentals. For the duration of the war in America, Savannah was an occupied city. [More]
