Anywhere at Any Time
Violence has and can happen anywhere at any time. [More]Yeah, we get that.
And the "Only Ones" can't be everywhere all the time. Thank God.
Every unsubstantiated argument this self-contradicting ignoramus brings up leads to the conclusion that none of us--heroic state warriors exempted, of course--should have guns anywhere at any time.

This Day in History: November 29
I have received sundry reports, tho' not through the Channel I could have wished, and yet thro' such as seem to make the Reports worthy of credit, that the Enemy are making or preparing for a pretty considerable embarkation of Troops from New York. From this circumstance, altho' their destination is not known, and from the importance of securing the States of Georgia and South Carolina, which possibly may be their object, and which from the accounts I have received from Col Laurens are in a more defenceless condition than I had ever apprehended.

Go here and see if you can get the Scribd document to appear.
Then see if you can get it to appear as embedded at the end of Mike's post.
Hopefully the issues are worked out and it will display in Firefox and IE. As for other browsers, I don't have 'em so I can't test for that.

Armed American Radio: 11/27
- Hour 1: "News, commentary, emails, more commentary, great subject matter…I don’t want to give it away here…go listen! Enjoy!"
- Hour 2: "American hero, combat medic and author, Patrick Thibeault…Gotta love the hero’s! Later in this hour, noted women’s firearm expert and trainer, Kathy Jackson."
- Hour 3: "The Roundtable. Kathy Jackson sticks around and grabs a seat with firearm expert George Hill, the Mad Ogre, Mark and Sean. Topics all over the map, emails, current events, etc! A fun one. Enjoy!"
And tell your friends about this show, every Sunday night from 8:00 to 11:00 pm Eastern/ 5:00 to 8:00 pm Pacific. It brings essential information you won't get anywhere else, and the thought just struck, it could be especially useful for gun owners who don't read blogs.

Anyway, the promotional overlay in the bottom left corner struck me as pretty funny. It was either find something to laugh about or cry at the 100+ point difference in scores...

How did Sen. Feinstein get ATF gun trace data in violation of Tiahrt Amendment?
Persons within the Department of Justice whose identities are not yet publicly known apparently broke the law by leaking firearms trace data to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, which she introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee record in the hearing on Department of Justice oversight earlier this month.

Gun Rights Examiner earns Sunday headlines in Arizona Republic and WorldNetDaily
“Project Gunwalker” was front page headline news in today’s edition of The Arizona Republic...In another development, WorldNetDaily, the very highly-trafficked news website, is featuring a report on Gun Rights Examiners Chore Boy/silencer story as its main headline this morning. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column does a little crowing. Maybe that's why I've got laryngitis, and Mark Walters will need to do tonight's Gunwalker update on Armed American Radio without me.
Something to Consider
With all those out there (some very well heeled) quick to use Gunwalker in their fundraising appeals (even though they have done practically nothing in terms of original work on the story, and the most prosperous ones have even discouraged recognition of those who have), isn't it refreshing to see someone who has been working around the clock to break new ground and pushing himself to mortal limits--someone of modest means who often can't say how the next bill will be paid--asking his supporters to stop sending money?
What better testament to character?
For the DC trip, OK--but in general principle, those who receive regular value should return it. Some time ago I proposed a very doable monthly voluntary subscription to SSI--a buck a month. If just a fraction of Mike's readers did that, he'd be compensated along the lines of, say, a bus boy.
Hopefully, no one of conscience thinks that's asking too much.

3,000?
Bob Owens posts on a theory I've heard before, that Fast and Furious was less about "gun control" and more about playing sides with the cartels as part of a greater strategy. [Read]
It's not that I'm hostile to that line of thought--I'm interested in the truth. It's just--as I have told proponents of it--that none of my sources have offered this explanation, so I can't endorse it until I get something more directly credible than a defendant offering a desperate defense.
I guess I'll need to see what documents result from this to test against the hypothesis.
But to be clear: the initial "padding statistics" charge on Gunwalker came not from any "right wing bloggers." It was first made on CleanUpATF by one of the posters whom ATF's Chief Counsel's Office and Ken Melson had discussed applying standards of conduct disciplinary action against. Make sure you click on the sidebar graphic there to see the emails for yourself.
Bottom line: If a definitive US government/cartel cooperative effort is established, it would add a new dimension to--but not negate--the "more gun control" theory.

Vanderboegh: What Newsweek and the FBI don’t want you to know about PATCON

Victimhood

The Blade, of course, is one of the more notorious citizen disarmament advocacy rags, fighting freedom every step of the way and leading in the demand to publicly "out" concealed carriers.
One can only hope their editor and publisher have the happy occasion to personally interact with a "victim" some day. I'm sure he'll be appreciative of their tolerance, understanding and leadership in demanding social justice. Or at least he'll appreciate it more than he would an encounter with someone who refuses to be a victim.

‘Conservative’ case for Mitt Romney no case at all
Because elections are typically decided by a few percentage points, and a critical mass of gun owners simply will not hold their noses and vote for the guy. In spite of the cajoling, in spite of having future Supreme Court nominees held over our heads, in spite of accusations that those who refuse to chip in to procure the campaign whore du jour being pimped by devoid- of- principle party apologists will bear responsibility for whatever politically transmitted disease follows. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary offers the simplest of solutions: It's called integrity.
We're the Only Ones Establishing a Pattern Enough
Altogether Savage has been the target of 22 internal investigations and has had 30 findings of misconduct--everything from conduct unbecoming, to insubordination to inappropriate use of authority.So he's a domestic terrorist? And he's not too bright, either? I mean, people do some pretty desperate things when they're "fearful." Especially when the source of that fear is, all things considered, a fairly easy target if they decide to control and channel their feelings into something else...
While patrolling Vashon Island in 2009, Savage racked up so many complaints the Sheriff’s Office moved him off the island after just nine months.
“I don’t think it’s possible to understate how fearful these folks were,” said Vashon Defense Attorney Steve Mueller. [More]
This one got me:
One of the recent cases involves a complaint that Savage told a teen he could sexually assault her with a pen and she couldn’t stop him.
If some fat f*** thug threatened one of my children this way, I'd be tempted to find out if the pen truly is mightier than the sword...

Good Lord, That Was Painful to Listen To

But it also confirmed something those of us of not sleeping already knew about demented intentions of latter day domestic Bolsheviks.

Men Men Men Men, Manly Men Men Men!
A neat trick that, passing judgment on gun owners and men without consulting either...
The opening paragraph tells you all you need to know about the dishonest bias of this premise:
And what are they trying to do here?
Aside from the usual regressive subversion we've come to expect from anti-gun males, it would appear a good bit of posturing to mask the truth about themselves...
The opening paragraph tells you all you need to know about the dishonest bias of this premise:
Guns are in the news every day in our society. They're the weapon of choice in countless "routine" homicides and mass murders. Motorcycle gang shootouts. Armed robberies. School shootings. Domestic violence rampages. Guns are a staple of our entertainment culture, a critical part of the story line in a seemingly endless number of TV shows, Hollywood films and video games. They're also the subject of ongoing and often acrimonious political debate. Guns -- and the violence they either inflict or seek to prevent --- are a major presence in our individual and collective psyches.I guess citing even one potential instance where guns might be beneficial doesn't fit what they're trying to do here.

That tens of thousands of our countrymen will be willing to go along with this--and pay for the privilege--says much about their priorities.
Hey, check out the "Only One" who has a gun making sure you don't. Now multiply this times up to 73,000+...I guess maybe you ought to plan to get there a couple hours early, just like at the airport? Yeah, Lt. Kevin Warych is qualified and trustworthy and you're not--he even has the super hero costume to prove it. Just like Tyler Peterson did.
Laughable lie:
We're insuring the safety of all fans coming to the game.
Insured for how much--should they fail? Oh, they have no liability? Those are just words?

A Nothing Day
Had to drive and accompany a parent to a medical procedure, just now getting back, speaking of which, mine hurts from a bit of labor I did earlier, so the hell with it for today.
Just got invited on the Ron Smith Show, WBAL Baltimore to talk Gunwalker with guest host Marta Mossburg tomorrow morning at 10:35 Eastern.
In the mean time, I have to say I was a bit disappointed at how low the interest apparently is in this, page view and social media sharing-wise, especially considering what it's for and how it's in all of our interests to make the event a media success. You who are regulars here--I assume that's because you perceive you get recurring value from the work--if so, how about lending a hand and helping spread the word?
Unless you feel the "Authorized Journalists" adequately represent our concerns and there's no need for a counter-balance...?
