Calling All Wacko Birds
We're the Only Ones Camera-Shy Enough
Omaha police displayed an unbridled street gang brazenness when they chased a man who was video recording them abusing his brother into a private home, confiscating his phone and arresting him to ensure their actions would never see the light of day. [More]

We're the Only Ones Back at Work Enough
The North Carolina deputy who was forced to resign this week after committing an act of road rage that was caught on video was rehired a few days later, proving that the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office was merely trying to appease the media after drafting a lengthy press release. [More]SUCKERRRS!!!

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) introduced an amendment that would prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty in order to uphold the Second Amendment.

Among the 62 mass shootings over the past 30 years that we studied, not a single case includes evidence that the killer chose to target a place because it banned guns. [More]Yeah. It's not like Eric Harris wrote a paper titled "Guns in Schools" or anything...

This Day in History: March 25
After leaving Ramsey's Mill in a hurry, Lt. Gen. Charles Cornwallis again marched his army towards Wilmington. He stopped and camped near Cross Creek and sent out foraging parties under heavy guard. On March 25th, Capt. John Taylor and his company of dragoons encountered eight British dragoons near Stewart's Creek. He killed one and captured three. [More]

DHS Fast and Furious OIG report fed to Los Angeles Times, not to public
There is nothing about this report on the DHS “Press releases” page; nor on the DHS blog; nor does anything appear in the DHS/OIG press release page; there is nothing about it on their Border Security page; and importantly, it is not yet linked to on the OIG Reports: Fiscal Year 2013 page. Of equal concern is the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform “Releases” page, which shows no awareness of the DHS OIG report, let alone any responsive activity scheduled to question it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes we're evidently just supposed to take The Times' word for it that Nappy knew nothing.

The Rapists vs. Therapists
Therapists usually interpret this sort of talk as part of the treatment process, experts say. But under a new law in New York, one of the strongest to be passed to date, therapists may feel compelled to report every instance of violent talk, lest they face legal consequences if something happens. And some say ordinary patients may wind up suffering the most. [More]
They won't stop until they control your mind, and even that will only be their "good first step" toward their hideous end game.

Kerry Commits U.S. To U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Gun Grab
Shoot. I used the title "Of Course" on my last post. [Read]
Of Course?
First, define "abuse."A man abuses and threatens his ex‑wife. She tells a judge that she is frightened and that he is armed. The court orders him to stay away from her. Should it also order him to give up his guns?Of course it should. If a protective order is to mean anything, the court must do all that it reasonably can do to keep a vulnerable person from becoming a homicide statistic. [More]
If she's telling the truth, arrest him, charge him with appropriate felonies, set appropriate bail to let him know this is serious and slap a monitor on him, and don't forget to make sure she knows about her options for self-defense.

The point here is not to pile on or add to anyone's grief, thus no traditional "Only Ones" title--but it is to reiterate that there are those (like Chicago police officials) who would disarm the rest of us and leave guns solely in the hands of the police, using "gun suicides,"among other factors, as a "public health" justification.
