We’re not talking about some random anti-gun zealot here, someone who can be just dismissed as an inconsequential kook who doesn’t speak for doctrinaire anti-gunners. He is, according to his newspaper bio, “a retired diplomat [and] a member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.” [More]My latest "Rights Watch" column for Guns Magazine, "The End Game," starring Homer Simpson's dumber brother, is now online.
Holder has enough GOP partisan lashes on his back to know that no matter how many facts he cites to bolster his case that he didn't know or certainly approve any illicit doings in the sting ATF operation, the issue won't go away. [More]Really? That's what "Gunwalker" is about? Powerful white men taking the whip to blacks?
“Why the big cover up unless there’s something there they’re covering up,” Walsh responded.
“Like what?” O’Reilly challenged. “A bribe? I mean, what could it possibly be?” [More]

Your best self-defense is your tongue. [More]Jeez, Walt, too bad you weren't at Virginia Tech or Columbine, or Sharon Tate's house, or that store in Utah we just linked to in the last post.
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.Some of us tried to show a different approach by example, but that was not very well received by those who prefer being more "reasonable."
His son, also named James Woosley, and live-in girlfriend, Lateisha Rollerson -- both ICE employees -- allegedly ran the scam out of the elder Woosley's two Virginia homes. [More]Hey, at least they weren't stiffing South American whores.

Thai web editor faces 20 years for 'royal insults' [More]So if I say Bhumibol presuming to be a ruler shows him to be a barbaric tyrant whom freedom seekers should overthrow by any means necessary, does that mean I'd better pick another place to exploit sex slaves in the future?
All that you have to do is write and post a short (200+ words) review of The Survivalist Blog dot Net, or of my new book “31 Days to Survival“ or better yet both on your blog or website then send me an email with a link to your review. The writer of the best review posted between now and May 15 2012 will win a copy of the following books and DVDs... [More]
But Schimel’s not done. Her new “common sense” crusade involves standing in front of a “Gun Violence Prevention Mural” (no doubt every bit as effective as a candlelight vigil) “located outside of Brower Park, a notorious location for gang activity and gun crimes.” No, she’s not there to confront and eliminate the violent criminals. She’s there to make it more difficult for her constituents to legally protect themselves from them by “call[ing] on State Senator George Maziarz to withdraw his ‘Stand Your Ground’ legislation (S.281).” [More]
Be Sure to keep with your Convoy: for my own part I hardly see a Possibility of an unarmed Vessells geting safe over, without. We were surrounded by 5 or 6, very sawcy Privateers at a time, when I went home, and nothing but our twelve Pounders saved Us and the Convoy. [More]
When freedom activists do the same thing, Lowry and his ilk scream “home rule.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering notes no small amount of projection going on.
The number of gun owners in the United States is staggering. All it would take to fund this project is for 400,000 people to pledge $1. How many gun owners do you know? [More]Or 200,000 to give $2.
NRA Leaders' Links To Sexual Scandals [More]Compare to these noted and leading gungrabbers:
“This data makes it very clear that we need to increase our efforts to starve the supply of American weapons that arm Mexico’s brutal drug trafficking organizations,” Feinstein concludes, meaning she intends to do all she can to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. But the thing is, the data doesn’t make that clear at all, and in fact, cautions against jumping to hysterical conclusions. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there are liars, damned liars and anti-gun Democrats.
Former NYPD detective and security expert Sal Lifrieri told Carlin no matter what the government does to try and make people safer so much of it is up to the people, themselves. [More]You come up with that blinding bit of illumination all by yourself there, guy...?
As this will be a “pen-and-pad” event only, with no recording devices allowed, we will, unfortunately, not be able to hear any sputtering if those questions are asked. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there may be a curve thrown in with all those softballs.
Should People Be Allowed to Carry Guns Openly? [More]I'm gonna have to jump on some of my friends here--I didn't even know about this US News and World Report "Debate Club" or their participation in it--otherwise I'd have been calling attention to it.

A former Sheriff's deputy under indictment on a battery of gun and explosive charges may have sold numerous handguns he made from mismatched and illegally obtained gun parts, the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office revealed today. [More]The amnesty offer reminds me of the story of the old man and the talking frog.
It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go in to a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.
Then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years. [More]What an insight into the minds of these arrogant, demented freaks. Not that anyone aware of what collectivists in power historically do when they can get away with it should be surprised.
They have a point to settle first, whether we shall make Peace with a British King or a British Congress. [More]
I have almost 8,000 emails in the box [More]No one can say I didn't do my best to discourage that. What a thing to expect someone who's been through what he has to deal with.
That said, the film may not get made. Funding for documentaries has always been difficult to obtain without well-resourced backers, and interest in the film community and among their foundation and individual benefactors in exposing the government’s part in sanctioning “gunwalking” is practically nonexistent. In order to deal with that reality, McNulty has turned to us. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks those who say they want to see justice done just how much of their own skin they're willing to put in the game.
Tampa’s Talk 860 WGUL’s Joe Weaver joins Mark to discuss the mayor of Tampa’s intention to ban guns within a “clean zone” during the 2012 RNC convention.

The dissenters were Republican justices Stephen Markman and Robert Young Junior. [More]Here's the opinion.
'Arms are serious issues, and countries should have effective tracking and monitoring systems in a foolproof database,' Dr. Cyriaque Agnekethom, Head of the ECOWAS Small Arms Unit, stated. [More]Cool. He's speaking about a country where almost 45% of the population makes under a dollar a day and he'd allocate resources to this kind of impossible, prohibitively expensive nonsense.
I’m a hunter and a sportswoman. I own guns, but not for self-defense. I support gun control laws. [More]And this useful idiot oberkapoette really thinks if the line is forced back to where she "stands" that Polyphemus won't eat her last?

What “America First” vs. partisan agenda examples do the county apparatchiks offer that fulfill their representation of being “good for everybody”--right before they let slip that they’re “defining ourselves as Democrats” ? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks up the definition of "domestic enemy."
Today's Arizona Republic, Sunday paper, p. B10, 350K circ., virtually no editing -- if they had run this info before the governor's veto, the bill might have passed. Instead, the entire argument took place on non-existent "facts" and hype and misinformation. Rights denial for imaginary safety (not even for real safety).That's one of the reasons why this project can make a difference. Will you help make a difference and write a letter of your own?
Frustrated that state law will not let them regulate handguns during the Republican National Convention, city officials are considering a direct appeal to Gov. Rick Scott.[More]See, it's not just the law that frustrates them--it's our very system of government, with separation of power checks and balances.
'American Guns' star Richard Wyatt says gun control talk spurs gun sales [More]
So began a series of critical failures by Metro to protect its passengers. [More]You're how old, and you still think that's their responsibility?

The fact that you put the emphasis on "fee[ling] safe" as opposed to being safe pretty much says it all.
