Write a letter to the editor, win a Deep Conceal holster
The contest rules are simple: Get a pro-gun rights letter to the editor published by a newspaper or an online news website that features a letters section. It does not include simply posting comments, but rather, should be something selected by the editors for standalone attributed publication. The letter can be a response to something previously published or it can introduce the readership to something new. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column offers tangible and intangible rewards.
Little Justice
What a hot FFL doesn’t realize is that the ‘judicial review’ process can effectively bankrupt them with legal fees, and that the current interpretation of the Gun Control Act appears to limit the Court’s ‘judicial review’ of the ATF revocation to simply whether or not the ATF was authorized by law to revoke the license in the first place. The merits of the revocation aren’t usually on the table at that point, and it’s an easy way out for the Court… resulting in little justice for an FFL.” [More]Some call it an "economic Waco."

Find the Best
As part of my link reciprocity policy, I've added a few links over in the sidebar WoGroll for an outfit called Find the Best, specifically for FFLs, guns, safes and ranges. It looks like an interesting resource, so I asked them to give me a description of what they're all about, and they told me:
How does that specifically relate to what WarOnGuns readers are apt to find of interest?
FindTheBest is an unbiased, data-driven comparison engine. We organize and present data in a consumer-friendly format so that you can make quick and informed decisions based on what's important to you.
How does that specifically relate to what WarOnGuns readers are apt to find of interest?
When approaching the great variety of options in the market for guns and gun-related goods, use FindTheBest to rank, filter, and sort search results along personal preferences. If you are in the market for a gun--whether it is for hunting, sport, or defense--narrow your search by firearm type, manufacturer, class, concealability, caliber, or price. With these filters, you can identify the best product for your needs, be it a .22 Rifle or a concealable pistol. Like the guns comparison, the gun safes comparison enables you to refine your search by manufacturer, model, firearm type, price, fire rating, capacity, lock type, features, and more. The shooting ranges comparison similarly allows for specification of preferences, while the buyer’s guide offers valuable advice on what to look for and what to avoid in your purchasing process. All the comparisons share the goal of removing any marketing bias or gimmicks from the decision-making process, empowering the user to weigh options with the knowledge of all available information.Go ahead and not only check them out, but use the site and see what you think. I have not had time to give it more than a cursory once-over, so your comments will be helpful not just here, but also for the folks giving us this resource, who, I'm sure, will appreciate your constructive feedback, as well as sharing site links that you get value from.

Is uncertified ‘top Philly cop’ breaking gun laws he’d break us for?
Would it be dismissed as “irony” if he were not one of the exalted “Only Ones,” treating gun laws as they apply to himself “with a mischievous laugh”? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "Fauxnly One" and an authority-worshiping "Authorized Journalist"--are there any other kinds?
Who Will Watch the Watchdogs?
I got an email in response to yesterday's Gun Rights Examiner column that gives further examples of journalistic malpractice I think you'll find illustrative. Correspondent Chris Meissen shared his experiences with me and kindly gave me permission to share them with you:
Meissen continued:
I just read your column on sloppy mainstream firearms reporting and wanted to say that it's not only firearms where "reporters" are too ignorant and/or sloppy to check their facts. Or to even use a modicum of common sense, for that matter.Why do I assume she must have been a Tony Orlando fan?
I worked as a field engineer maintaining the satellite dish distribution equipment for a major network from July 1985 until Feb. 1995. During that time, I had primary responsibility for five TV stations in several Midwest states. I became especially good friends with the engineering staff at one of the stations I serviced as we shared a common interest in firearms and shooting.
One day in 1989 (I think) I arrived at the station and the chief engineer told me he'd saved a tape for me. It was shortly after the very first discovery of an extra-solar system planet. The tape that they'd saved for me to watch was of their evening (6:00 P.M and 10:00 P.M.) news anchor-bunny reporting, quite soberly and seriously, that:
"British astronomers announced the discovery over the weekend of a new planet *in the upper atmosphere.*" The chief engineer and his evening master control operator said that everyone in master control and all three cameramen cracked up laughing when she reported that for the 6:00 P.M. news. Her reaction was to reply, "What? That's what the AP wire said." She then repeated it exactly verbatim on the 10:00 P.M. news.
Meissen continued:
A year or two later, there was a multiple homicide in a nearby city in which a man stabbed his wife and mother-in-law to death. That same anchor bunny reported it with a handgun graphic behind her and reported that the man was arrested for "two counts of homicide and two counts of using a handgun to commit a homicide." Note: this was before the days of the tactical pistol bayonet.In an addendum, he also informed me:
Those two incidents alone were sufficient to teach me that reporters are journalism majors skilled at stringing together emotionally evocative words but often sadly lacking in common sense or the most fundamental facts about the physical world. But they do "feelings" well and get hired on that basis.
Another reporter, at a larger station in a much larger city, gave me an unforgettable memory back in 1993, one that is brought to mind all too painfully today.What can I say, but "Authorized Journalists"...?
He and I were talking of the then-ongoing Randy Weaver standoff near Ruby Ridge, ID. In the course of our conversation regarding the accuracy (or not) of the reports being given out, he told me of his first meeting with his current news director, stressing that the news director was not hired by the station but rather by the station's owners.
My friend said that at that first meeting, the news director had stressed that their job as reporters was "to shape public opinion." My friend argued that their job was to find and report the truth. He said the director responded by saying, "Whatever the public's perception of the truth is is the truth and it's your job to make certain that perception matches station and network editorial policies."
I cannot help but think of that as I read the distortions, half-truths, edited recordings, and hyperbole being disseminated with regard to George Zimmerman's shooting of Trayvon Martin this past week or two.

But the Second Amendment doesn’t say that Americans have the right to buy bazookas, or AK-47s, or other military-style weapons, or to purchase dozens of them and sell them to whoever they want.

Sloppy mainstream reporting on basic gun facts points to pervasive failure
This is important and hardly splitting hairs. For many in the television audience, the talking heads do so with apparent authority, so if the professionals don’t know enough to provide accurate reporting, how can we reasonably expect their viewers to know the difference? And if the reporters are this clueless about such basic and easily verifiable information, how can we expect they will be versed enough to report on any aspect of the gun issue, including about rights and laws, and not expect the same sloppy results? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that when their malpractice is not due to a deliberate agenda, too many "Authorized Journalists" are far too often simply not qualified to competently report on anything having to do with guns.

What the Founders Meant by "Bear"

Illinois black robes said it, I believe it, that settles it.
After all, they tell us:
To believe otherwise would be to suggest that federal judges are corrupt, agenda-driven, treasonous scoundrels, and that we have no recourse through the courts. If we ever came to accept that as what we can expect, why...
And remember--ultimately, if it gets that far, all the Supreme Court has to do is...nothing, and this stands.

It can be a real indicator of character, noting how some feel a need to mask themselves and hide in the shadows.

"Top Men"
The FBI claims that these indispensable pieces of evidence regarding what was at the time the worst terrorist act in U.S. history have simply vanished in the tenebrous depths of an official warehouse, much like the Ark of the Covenant was at the end of the first Indiana Jones film. [More]One thing about the Justice Department and its functionaries stonewalling in order to suppress the truth--at least they're consistent.

A Limited Screening
What's with a press release put out the day of...? [Read]
Be nice to know about these things far enough in advance for Students for Concealed Carry to offer an alternative screening...Disc 1 alone would completely shred anything the Bradys have to offer--at least to a rational audience.

So, with the above admission stipulated, what does that tell us about these fine folks?

This Day in History: April 3
On April 3, 1780 he came to the relief of Charleston, South Carolina, which was besieged by the British. Shortages of troops and supplies retarded de Kalb's steady advance. De Kalb, in command of the right wing, attacked the enemy three times. With sword in hand, he led his troops forth to the attack. After being wounded eleven times he finally fell. His last words to his troops were addressed to his adjutant. "Thanks for their valor, and bid them an affectionate farewell." Three days after the battle he perished from battle wounds. His courageous example became a symbol of patriotism in the American Revolution. [More]

Just an Afterthought
In 1772 there were few people expecting America to declare independence and fight an eight year war for independence. In 1859 virtually no one expected the election of Abraham Lincoln as president and an ensuing war that would kill 700,000 American men. In 1928 no one imagined the stock market losing 89% of its value, an eleven year depression, and a world war resulting in over 60 million deaths. History is only logical in afterthought. The mystery of forethought is where we find ourselves today. [More]Speaking of forethought, guess what's on tonight...?

Trayvon Martin gave his life for this cause! [More]Had the young man been one of my loved ones, I'd not let self-aggrandizing hucksters get away with hijacking his memory for their shamelessly exploitative agenda.
The family has already disavowed these lunatics.
That's His Best Shot?
There was once a time when the NRA supported and promoted hunting and the safe usage of firearms. Today, the organization has morphed into one that insists there should be unfettered access to weapons — even those used primarily for shooting cops...[More]This is what the ridiculous Dave Zweifels of the world are reduced to. We really ought to view that as a plus.
Ms. Congeniality
...Michelle Obama — one of the most admired first ladies in history...[More]Seriously? "Authorized Journalist" Lois Romano believes that?
