Photo of trained child with gun prompts police visit to N.J. home

That’s why this particular young person is fortunate to have parents who care about his safety and happiness enough to give him age-appropriate training, and importantly, age-appropriate trust. And he’s especially fortunate to be raised in a home where the parents understand and will not surrender their rights in the face of intimidating authorities demanding otherwise. [More]
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner looks at a place where the Orwellian maxim "Ignorance is strength" is official policy when it comes to educating young people about guns.  You know, New Jersey.

For years, the NRA and the American Right have played games with some imprecise wording in the Second Amendment, which was always about a state’s right to have a well-regulated militia, but now those games are distorting U.S. foreign policy, too, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.  [More]

Campus gun ban had no deterrent effect on UCF shooting

“The University of Central Florida prohibits the possession, use, or storage of weapons on property owned or controlled by the University of Central Florida, including in a vehicle brought onto university property, on one’s person, or in one’s office or residence hall,” UCF Policy 3-119, “Weapons on University Property and at University Events” states unequivocally. [More
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some college students dodged a bullet (several actually, along with some bombs) by pure luck, and had things gone down differently, the only thing campus policy would have done is helped ensure success to their attacker.

Bloomberg coalition mayor under investigation for ‘gun crime’

While allegations that Schiliro waved three handguns around, put one to his head saying he didn’t want to live any more, and made a hostage threat may be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, the accusation that he fired his gun into the floor is substantially supported by police removing from the premises “a spent projectile, a section of wood with two holes [and] three 9mm bullets.” [More

Losing Sight of What's Important

Many of you sent me links over the weekend about the SWAT guy who installed his EOTech sight on backwards. [More]

Amidst all the well-deserved ridicule, there are some important questions not being asked, such as:

Who is this guy? How dare he deploy with a weapon when he obviously does not understand some of its fundamental operating mechanisms? Who is responsible for training and certifying for competence before turning these guys loose on We the People?  And why is it New York has, by law, declared guys like this the "Only Ones" trained and trustworthy enough to keep and bear such arms? 

Not the Only One

A Colorado sheriff says he won't enforce two aggressive gun-control measures waiting to be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. [More
Doesn't he realize the only ones who can pick and choose which laws to enforce and ignore are on the other side?

My letter to Congress a copy of which I inclose your Excellency will inform you of an unsuccessful action with Lord Cornwallis on the 15th. Our prospects were flattering; and had the North Carolinia Militia seconded the endeavors of their officers, victory was certain. But they left the most advantageous position I ever saw without scarcely firing a gun. None fird more than twice and very few more than once, and near one half not at all. The Virginia Militia behaved with great gallantry, and the success of the day seemed to be doubtful for a long time. The action was long and severe. [More]

Halvorson defeat less about guns than race-based voting

Indeed, the demographics show a marked disadvantage for a white candidate if race is considered as a valid motivating factor in candidate preference, and if the 2nd Congressional District’s past 30-plus years with an African-American chosen as representative is any indicator, to deny that would be to deny the obvious.

A Bogus "Settled Question"

“It was a settled question, and the overwhelming consensus, bordering on unanimity, was that the Second Amendment granted a collective right” enjoyed by the states, not individuals, Bogus said. Under this interpretation, the Constitution provides no right for an individual to possess a firearm. [More]
Bull, and Bogus of all people, fraudulently pretending the academic/legal scholarship high ground belongs to him, knows better.

From Dred Scott:
It would give to persons of the negro race, ...the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, ...to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased ...the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.
And from William Rawle:
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both. 
And lest we forget Cruikshank, reiterated in Heller:
The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.” As we said in United States v. Cruikshank , 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed...”

The latest incident started after Pte Patrick Okot Odoch, now on the run, apparently attempted to rape the daughter of another officer, Sgt Onesmus Adule, who reported the matter to the police.

What a Friend We Have in E-ric


Christ Almighty, what a pal!

Here's why:
If the Senate version of the Violence Against Women Act(S.47) passes the House, as Eric Cantor is currently twisting Republican arms to do, “unpleasant speech” will be considered a federal crime qualifying as domestic violence...The Violence Against Women Act is the path to taking everybody’s guns, because it even changes the burden of proof effectively from the accuser to the accused.  That’s right, under this act, if you are accused, it will be nearly impossible to avoid being found guilty because almost anything remotely unpleasant can be considered as “abuse” or “violence.”

But I have a prediction. I believe someone in Newtown, Connecticut - a grieving parent, an upset law enforcement officer, a citizen who has seen enough of this carnage in our country - somebody, someday soon, is going to leak the crime scene photos of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. And when the American people see what bullets from an assault rifle fired at close range do to a little child's body, that's the day the jig will be up for the NRA. It will be the day the debate on gun control will come to an end. There will be nothing left to argue over. It will just be over. And every sane American will demand action. [More]

Pretty easy to pontificate when you've got yours, isn't it, you elitist swine?
