Preparing Young Minds for Their Proper Role

Principal Dana Carter at Calimesa Elementary School had reportedly instituted the policy, which called for students at various times of the school day to kneel down on one knee and wait for the principal or another administrator to dismiss them, as a safety measure. [More]

Man, I sure hope for ol' Dana's sake he didn't do this to any Muslim kids...can you imagine what they'd do if they found out he compelled blasphemy?

Casting Call

From Jennifer Cruz:
I am happy to say that I am working on a project with a TV producer to create a pilot for a docu-series. I'm looking for true stories of mothers who have killed to protect their families. If you have a story or know of anyone who does please contact me. You can send me a message on Facebook or contact me via email at jenniferlcruzAThotmailDOTcom . I ask that you will all share this around and help me get these stories quickly. I know that they are out there, but they are also sometimes hard to find. However, with all of your help I know we can get this pilot into a series to show countless people that guns really do save lives. 
My only caveat would be to always consult your lawyer before making public statements related to such serious legal matters.

Armed American Radio Redux

Last night was the Alan Korwin experience, all three hours.

I joined in during Hour 3, along with George "Mad Ogre" Hill and Larry Allen from AAR affiliate KROP AM 1300 in Brawley CA.  I had a bit of a disagreement with Alan on the benefit potential an influx of millions of currently illegal aliens will have on gun rights (something I'd discussed at Gun Rights Examiner in June), and hope we'll have time to revisit that in a future program.

Akron shooting shows problem is criminals ‘on the streets,’ not guns

“All these guns on the street! We have to do something about the guns on the street,” Summit County Councilwoman Tamela Lee, who had attended the Bloomberg-funded photo op declared. [More]
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes part of the problem may be there are too many "progressive" anti-gun dupes on the street, although you can't tell it by MAIG rally attendance in Akron.

Is This Some Kind of Bust?

Such as where are the "fully automatic machine guns" coming from, and have you traced any of the "high capacity assault rifles" to Fast and Furious...?

Bulletproof whiteboards a comic book denial of ‘gun free zone’ realities

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the danger in making real life rules based on fantastic fiction. That supposed adults operate under such childish assumptions to deny the rights of those who do not makes this all the more outlandish and offensive.

And Now, the Rest of the Story...

That's funny...there's nothing in this "Authorized Journalist" report about Bloomberg's sneaky tactics...

But Phil Trexler does tell readers "private sales ... take place routinely ... on the Internet." I'm sure what he meant to say is that people can agree to hook up through the Internet and then do all kinds of things once they meet in person.  What he's really trying to say is the government needs to ban private sales and create a record of all gun purchases, but he's too skilled a sympathizer to admit that.

And he quotes a helpless victim (who better to take advice from?) and lets the statement  “Background checks could have changed that” go unchallenged, despite the fact that the mad dog shooter stole the gun from his uncle.

I guess when you're a "real journalist" on salary (as opposed to #justablogger), you're above such petty details.

Funny -- we also learn we can have guns on the sidewalk at the corner of the park, but if we step over an imaginary line we suddenly become criminals.  Must be something in the grass.
