Jesse? Al?
Professional "neighborhood watch volunteers" gunned down an unarmed woman of color whom Obama could claim as an appearance-based daughter...
When can we expect the outraged protests? And will the Panthers offer a "dead or alive" reward?
It sure was instructive watching all the lockdown panic yesterday. I'm sure no shortage of interested parties took notice of how little it takes to create a distraction.
UPDATE: Workman's take.

An equal-opportunity offender, Clancy was a gun-collector and NRA supporter...[More]Oh how cute. An "anti-gun male."

Usually I can’t wait for guys like Tom Clancy to die. [More]I'd say that tells us more about Meg Ellison and her fellow "progressives" than anyone else.
Everybody remember that scene from "Independence Day"?
No wonder the mantra of the antis demands that when confronted by aggressors, we shouldn't resist, but instead "Just give them what they want."
Precisely the Problem
Almost all voters -- 88 percent -- say “the government is in charge of the people.” That includes 83 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of independents and 94 percent of Republicans.And those are the ones thee "progressives" need to portray as racist extremists.
Only 8 percent feel “the people are in charge of the government.” [More]
What I don't get is how anyone could admit government is in charge of them and not dedicate themselves to reestablishing proper control.
Within Reason
"I want to be able to wear what I want to wear within reason," she said. [More]Sorry, sweetheart. Look at the authoritarian "progressive" morons you're forced to deal with.
And On That Day, She Should Be Able to Buy a Gun
Brewer is being kept at a state psychiatric hospital until psychiatrists determine she's no longer mentally ill. [More]Oh, and when will that be?
Remember, let her out and she'll have access to box cutters, fuel oil, fertilizer, gasoline and matches, all cited as weapons of choice in the country's three highest-toll mass murders.
Some things are broken and cannot be fixed.
That's what makes the entire "prohibited persons" concept such a sick and useless joke. If they're demonstrably violently defective, letting them go about unrestrained in the general population is analogous to setting loose self-guiding bombs that can go off at the slightest jostle.
Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian. That's just the way it is.
This Day in History: October 4
I have the Honour to agree with your Excellency in opinion, that it is reasonable, that the Articles of Rent of the Hotel, Payment of Couriers, Postage of Letters, Salaries of Clerks, Stationary for the Bureau, and Feasts and Illuminations made upon publick occasions, should be deemed Expences of the States. Indeed otherwise it will be impossible, for American Ministers to live, in any such manner as is expected of them both by Europeans and Americans. [More]

No Better Opportunity
A massive law enforcement training facility in Georgia that serves about 70,000 officers a year and employs more than 1,000 has been turned into a ghost town, as the government shutdown sent all but a handful of workers packing.

Media silent on NRA affiliation in Tom Clancy obituaries
Either ignorant and/or lazy "legitimate news media" almost universally didn’t do their jobs, or more likely, it doesn’t help an anti-gun agenda to let the public know that a man whose work they enthusiastically embraced had views about gun ownership opposed to editorial policies promoting anti-gun narratives.

"Blurred Lines," Indeed
The poll was actually in the sidebar of another story that my wife told me about, a high school in Wisconsin that canned the girl's dance teacher because of a halftime routine--at first I wondered if the drum majorette had stuck to the ground in a split, but no, they were simply performing to a song with lyrics that include:
One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that ass to
Go, from Malibu, to Paris, boo
Yeah, I had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So hit me up when you passing through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
Let me be the one you back that ass to
Go, from Malibu, to Paris, boo
Yeah, I had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So hit me up when you passing through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two
Oh, Robin Thicke: You're such an edgy, self-made man! What a gangsta!
Still, the routine was "edited to make it appropriate for high school."So what's the big deal?
I'll bet the majority of these princesses had Hannah Montana backpacks. Not to mention this playset.
And I'll bet they--and their teachers--are "not at all concerned" as they wend their way through life with eyes and ears (and thumbs) fixed on everything but their surroundings, which at best, remain blurred lines until something unexpected comes sharply and terrifyingly into focus.
This Day in History: October 3
October 3, 1781 - Allied forces in Gloucester defeat Tarleton, forcing the British back within their lines at Gloucester Point. This is particularly important in that it cuts off British supplies of fresh food and fodder for British horses. Cornwallis will soon order many of his horses to be killed, to prevent them from starving to death. [More]Note my link goes to an Internet Archive "Wayback Machine" page capture. That's because when I tried to go to the live site, I got this instead:
"Experience your America." And how.
Spread the word to people who are running into the same problem trying to access shutdown-affected government websites that there is a workaround--at least it worked in this case, so it's worth a try on other .gov sites.

David Codrea, National Gun Rights Examiner columnist and The War on Guns blogger, joins Tom on Sunday to discuss his latest story on the media's treatment of firearms , including the reaction to the Navy Yard shooting, and gun buyback stories such as the latest out of New Jersey, that stated “Among the assault weapons surrendered was a Colt AR-15, a Mossberg assault shotgun and a World War II-era Japanese bolt-action rifle.”
Chris Cerino, owner and head trainer of Chris Cerino Training Group in Ohio and two-time contestant on History Channel’s Top Shot, stops by Sunday to talk about his experience participating in First Person Defender, an online web series created by Gun Talk Media. As a peace officer for almost two decades, and a trainer and competitor for more than 10 years, Cerino entered the day of filming with more experience than many gun owners. See how he did on GunTalkTV’s YouTube channel – Watch Chris in two scenarios involving him protecting his family at home: http://youtu.be/MsDEH9o8WFM and http://youtu.be/OlrGfhErqlg, and watch the whole first season of First Person Defender here: http://bit.ly/175duhX.

Gomez ‘assault weapon’ ban editorial alienates gun owners

Starve the Beast
Another reason I never read US News and World Report anymore. [More]You'll note I linked to Mike's piece, not to theirs. That's because every comment I see posted at the cited article was driven there by pro-gun sites. I recognize many of the comment posters from here, Gun Rights Examiner and Sipsey Street. We are driving readership to them, and rewarding a subversive enterprise that is on the ropes with page views that bolster its ability to generate ad revenues:
Starting in June 2008, the magazine reduced its publication frequency in three steps. It switched in June 2008 from weekly to biweekly. In November 2008 it decreased to monthly. In November 2010, it was reported that U.S News & World Report would be switched to an online-only format, effective after it published its December issue, with the exception of print publishing special issues on colleges, hospitals, and personal finance.Ignore these domestic enemies. Let their irrelevance be their doom.

Anyone curious as to what the sentiment was about such matters back in the day?
"Place the sovereignty in the PEOPLE, and all the mysteries of government which have arisen out of kingcraft and priestcraft tumble to the dust," states a passage from "One of the People," Philadelphia Federal Gazette, July 2, 1789. "What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."How many children in public schools anywhere in America can cite a teacher or a textbook calling that to their attention? How many of you can?
