Honest Brokers

“I think we can be honest brokers,” says Dr. Lolita McDavid... [More]

How?

 “We have to have a collectively louder voice,” Dr. Danielle Laraque ... told a meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Washington, D.C. earlier this month. 

Alrighty then. And what does this collective call for?

What the doctors want is an assault weapon ban, mandatory background checks and waiting periods before all firearm purchases, a ban on high-capacity magazines, handgun regulations and requirements for safe firearm storage under federal law.

How many divisions do these "honest brokers" have?

Egypt exemplifies ‘hope and change’ of ‘gun control’ and authoritarian rule

That these are all positions our own “gun control” advocates would like to enact domestic parallels for, there’s one other similarity -- aside from the demonstrable fact that such efforts don't produce their promised results and that determined people will develop workarounds when their incentives become strong enough -- between turbulent Egypt and the increasingly discontented U.S. that seems eerie, particularly by the choice of words used. [More]

This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes if all you have is hope, the change will be dictated by those who control the guns.

LA pit bull attack shows savage consequences of citizen disarmament

What this means is, top LA law enforcement knows perfectly well that savage beasts are preying on peaceable citizens, they are unable to stop it from happening, they know what will give those being attacked a fighting chance, and they deny them that option under force of state arms. Through their mandates, they confirm that they would rather see a 63-year-old woman mauled to death, ripped apart in the most horrible, agonizing and terrifying way conceivable, than simply have the choice to the means of defense. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some beasts work their savagery from a position of presumed authority.

Burke bill to exempt museums on guns highlights Chicago elitism

“But it turns out Burke really didn’t need to obtain all these licenses to be able to carry a weapon … thanks to a law that dates back to 1872 that delegates mayors and aldermen as peace officers,” NBC Chicago reported in a December profile that also reveals how, in a political dispute with then-mayor Harold Washington, “After saying he received threats, Burke was given a four-man bodyguard detail.” [More]

“As you can see from the sales slips, the Quincy police are pocketing thousands of dollars at a time by illegally depriving gun owners of their property and selling it off at a fraction of its value, and this practice has been ignored by state authorities for years, even though the proceeds of any sales are supposed to go to the state treasury, and they are not,” Mirsky told Gun Rights Examiner.

On May 8, a fortunate howitzer blast hit the magazine in Fort Crescent. Black smoke billowed into the sky as the gunpowder supply exploded, killing 57 British troops and devastating the fortifications. Ezpeleta, commanding the light infantry, was then able to lead the charge to take Fort Crescent, and moved howitzers and cannons in place to open fire on the next two fortifications. The British fired back from Fort George, but were overwhelmed by the Spanish firepower. [More]

Opposition to Ohio gun shop based on ignorance, prejudice

That none of the complainers need prove they know the first thing about guns, gun shops, gun shop clientele and the statistical significance of nearby hoagie shops, bars, day care centers, school drop-offs and houses to create any kind of public safety concern, other than what their own prejudices conjure up, has not been questioned. Their unprovoked anger is entirely self-created, and to imply their peaceable neighbors will lawfully patronize a gun store and then do something evil because a tavern or a day care are nearby is, frankly, insulting, and not worthy of a response except to return such disrespect in kind.
