Gun Owners Can't Conceal Anger
Way to frame a headline to create an ominously emotional image in reader minds there, Philadelphia Daily News. [Read]
Framing the Terms
Christopher Jordan Dorner is an example of a 'law-abiding' gun owner who turns violent. [More]Yeah, this rogue ex-"Only One" is obviously our fault.
"So Long As"
“The state won’t have power to intervene on its own. Individuals are free to use alcohol as they see fit so long as both spouses agree to it...He estimates that Missouri alone will save over $180 million in the first year if the marriage rate improves by a mere 10 percent. [More]And we all know how much a marriage improves when the state is invited into it.
[Via Jess]
A Taxing Idea
One way to accomplish this goal is to establish a voluntary registration system for all privately owned firearms. Those who chose to register their guns would receive a card that would entitle them to purchase — tax free each year — as many bullets for each of their guns as any reasonable gun owner could use. Just show your card and a picture ID, and there would be no tax on bullets for your quota, which could easily be monitored by the same computer systems that verify the right to purchase a gun. No one would be required to register, but not doing so would make bullets much more expensive. Of course, criminals and others who are not permitted to own firearms would probably not apply for the discount, but if they did, knowing who owned a particular gun would help law enforcement track down those who illegally use them. And, for those who insisted on buying clips that held more than 10 rounds, the tax should be much higher. [More]And this guy's a law school dean.

Update to Marine Parade Rifle Column
I’d like to address some of the common objections appearing in comments to Saturday's GRE column.
My attention to this story came from an email list
run by and for Marines.
The rifles are NOT being carried in bolt open
position. The bolts have been removed.
You can tell because the operating rods are in the forward position.
The rifles in the 2009 inaugural, as shown in the
last slide show photo, did not have the bolts removed.
The issue of parade rifles carried by honor guards being
disabled in a different fashion under previous administrations, such as having
their firing pins removed, is not being argued here, although it should be—not that
it didn't happen, but that it does. But that’s
not the thrust of this article. Here’s what is:
Unlike in 2009, in the 2013 inaugural parade,
someone in authority made the decision to change that and order the Marines to march
with visibly disabled guns.

Disabled Marine rifles at inauguration signal shift in administration policy (Photos)
Wondering if this may be an inauguration policy of long standing that transcends administrations, Gun Rights Examiner made a cursory search and found something even more curious. In the 2009 Inaugural Parade, the United States Navy marched with rifles that had not been so disabled... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a public statement about trust that has thus far remained under the radar, as per the administration's M.O.

Manhunt highlights enforcement weaknesses against determined resistance
One man has done this, and people are noticing. Aside from an attitude among panicky enforcers that appears to regard public safety as an expendable inconvenience when they perceive a real or imagined threat to themselves, people are noticing how much illusion and presumptions have to do with state power. For many, it is a “Behold, a god who bleeds” moment. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary pays attention to the man behind the curtain instead of the illusion on the throne.

This Day in History: February 8
I have just received intelligence, which, though from a private hand, I believe is to be relied on, that a fleet of the enemy's ships have entered Cape Fear river, that eight of them had got over the bar, and many others were lying off; and that it was supposed to be a reinforcement to Lord Cornwallis, under the command of General Prevost. This account, which had come through another channel, is confirmed by a letter from General Parsons at Halifax, to the gentleman who forwards it to me. I thought it of sufficient importance to be communicated to your Excellency by the stationed expresses. The fatal want of arms puts it out of our power to bring a greater force into the field, than will barely suffice to restrain the adventures of the pitiful body of men they have at Portsmouth. Should any more be added to them, this country will be perfectly open to them, by land as well as water. [More]

We're the Only Ones Shooting Holes in the Theory That We're Better Trained and Safer Enough
Look at the holes in that truck.
Look at how many rounds they fired.
And there was a second shooting?
Shooting newspaper delivery women. They didn't even have a target identified. If you or I were afraid of a stalker and had done that, imagine how the antis, the newspapers, the politicians, the police hierarchies and the police unions would be exploiting that to "prove" that mere "civilians" are just too untrained and prone to panic to safely use guns for self defense.
This was an act of unprovoked aggression and absolute hysteria.
Caused by one guy. One crazy guy from their ranks.
There are lessons to be observed here, and from the Malvo/Muhammad episode, particularly if any widespread gun enforcement becomes part of a national plan. You know, the same "laws" Dorner demands "Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress."

This seriously pissed me off, saw it on the Code Red Facebook page. They were actually proud of what they'd done, which is condone gun theft by giving gift cards to those who turned guns in.

Breaking News, CNN's John Avlon-Style
They are among the 500 names on the National Rifle Association's absurd new "enemies list"...The first thing that struck me was the preponderance of '70s sitcom stars who are apparently among the leading threats to gun rights in America today...[More]That's because it isn't new, you ignorant, lazy dolt. And it's not an "enemies list," it's a list of prominent people and businesses that have initiated public attacks on the right to keep and bear arms over the years. The antis even had an "NRA Blacklist" site up for years (which I made fun of time and again here), and Dustin Hoffman even got press 10 years back saying he wanted to be on it.
What everyone is reacting to is an ILA update (from last September, by the way) of a page that's been around for many years--the earliest one I can find using the Wayback Machine Internet Archive is from 2003, but I recall seeing the list before then. And here's the "NRA Blacklist" site, also from 2003.
And the thing is, all the "Authorized Journalists" seem to be jumping on this "story." They get their talking points and a meme is born.
But God forbid they actually spend five minutes Googling their subject matter before deciding their hysterical and uninformed judgmentalism is worth propagating on major news websites and influencing millions even less informed than they are. They don't care though, because "Mission Accomplished." I guess as long as they're pleasing their masters, they don't give a damn if they've traded in any vestige of integrity and settled for being useful idiots and hacks.
But I guess when SPLC puts out a list -- even if it causes some of their "gunloon" followers to plan hunting expeditions -- that's OK with these hive insects. And if the government wants to deprive Americans of due process and unalienable rights by creating their lists, and in secret, why, that's even better.
Yeah, Avlon, "most of America." You keep guzzling your own swill, you tool.
