Comparison Goes Up in Smoke
Some gun-control activists call the pro-gun efforts irresponsible. "Restaurants routinely protect their patrons from second-hand smoke, so it makes sense they would go out of their way to protect them from bullets as well," said Shannon Watts... [More]Why, what a perfect analogy, Shannon! You've even brought me around.
I absolutely support the right of any restaurant to discourage the firing of all guns on premises except in self-defense.
I mean, they just ask the cigarettes not be lit, right? They don't say anything about having a pack in your pocket or purse, do they?

Trail shows ‘Nevadans for Background Checks’ a front group for ‘Everytown’
In any case, it’s clear that Nevadans for Background Checks is not the locally-inspired grassroots effort its name would imply, which is hardly a surprise to gun advocates who continually point out the “AstroTurf” modus operandi employed by billionaire "Nevadan" Michael Bloomberg and his $50 million citizen disarmament machine.

Oh really?“It is deeply offensive for anyone to suggest that Jewish supporters of gun violence prevention have ‘forgotten’ the history of our people,” the group said. “For a representative of the National Rifle Association, or any organization, to repeat the out-of-touch falsehood linking gun violence prevention to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust is not only an ignorant distortion but is exceedingly dangerous.” [More]

Deeply offensive? For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day. I'm glad they're offended. To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they deserve to be offended, and often, and by someone who knew how.
For Prozi swine, every day is Big Lie Day. These are the types who would rat out a barracks mate for extra rations. They are beyond contemptible.

I figured yesterday's column would be controversial.
A well-intentioned Facebook friend commented thusly:
"Can't we all get along?" sounds like a great plan. I'm game. As long as getting along doesn't result in more dangers, burdens and infringements, and fewer Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

A well-intentioned Facebook friend commented thusly:
Are we all assuming that these new arrivals aren't going to want the same things we do? I think that might be a bad assumption. As David just said: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Can we not co-opt them as easily as the progressives have?That presupposes assumptions, rather than observations, were made. The burden is on anyone challenging the piece to address and refute each specific documented claim by presenting superior counter-documentation before making the ...uh... assumption that they are invalid and moving the discussion on to a new track. And in re suggesting it's just as easy to co-opt, again, the burden is on the proposer to flesh that out and explain what evidence he has to suppose that. Who is making assumptions here?

Outstanding article on immigration and gun control! I just emailed it to several of the Vdare.com writers, so hopefully one of them blogs about it. As a matter of coincidence, the NRA sent a letter to me today asking me to sign up. I think I will print off and include your column in my response!Read that last sentence again. Who is co-opting whom here? And for what purpose?
One other point: if people calling themselves "libertarian" or who follow Koch Brothers funded establishment type "libertarians" who are generally pro-gun rights attempt to object to your article, you can always respond with this by the guy who literally created the modern day libertarian movement.
Rothbard starts on the immigration issue on page six. He remarks how he completely changed his views on free immigration when he witnessed Russia encourage mass immigration to Latvia and Estonia to destroy their culture and language during the fall of the Soviet Union. On page nine, Rothbard references how Latvia, Estonia, and Switzerland dealt with mass immigration by refusing to allow the immigrants to vote - thereby maintaining their values and culture.
If the founder of the modern day libertarian movement is not enough, here is another major figure in the modern day libertarian movement making the same case, albeit in much greater detail.
The main point Rothbard and Hoppe make is that this isn't "free labor" - but instead centrally planned economic policy in the form of mass immigration by the government since the market is not making these decisions.

Threat to gun rights of accepting illegal immigrants largely ignored
Mandatory universal background checks to obtain a gun are among the current demands by those who insist the government does not have enough information and impose enough control and restrictions on U.S. citizens. The theory, unfounded, of course (and an obvious precursor to registration), is that conducting them will reduce violent crime. Still, if one is to credit backers of such measures with being sincere, it makes little sense to demand background checks in one case, but to not only turn a blind eye, but to attack people for advocating doing them on the intentionally undocumented.

A Florida law that restricts doctors from discussing gun ownership with their patients is a "legitimate regulation of professional conduct," a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. [More]But...but...but if I can't go to medical experts for gun safety advice, who can I go to?

We're the Only Ones February-December Enough
Gregory, 75, remains in the Mayes County jail on two complaints of lewd molestation involving a child under the age of 16. [More]Let's just hope the old coot wasn't too cheap to buy her (him?) an age-appropriate dinner.
We're the Only Ones Retaliatory Enough
Embattled town of Campbell Police Chief Tim Kelemen pleaded not contest today to a misdemeanor that accuses him of using a tea party activist’s information online during work hours to retaliate for a federal lawsuit brought against him. [More]What a punk. Just the kind of juvenile moron to be setting the tone.

We're the Only Ones Stomping Enough
NYPD Officer Loses Badge and Gun After Stomping on a Man’s Head [More]What kind of animals need "training" to tell them you don't stomp on a helpless and pinned man's head?
Oh, I'm sorry, Bratton said he "might" order new training.

Moms Demand Suction?
Run Where, Exactly?
So is he going to answer this?UPDATE: Well, I got an answer for Liston:
http://www.examiner.com/article/gun-rights-quiz-for-dr-ben-carson
How about some unequivocal specifics to undo some of the damage he has done to his credibility with gun owners? How about running toward addressing their legitimate concerns, instead of away from them?
Or should I instead convey the campaign's silence and avoidance?
It is very unlikely Dr.Carson will be able to respond to this, he has been very busy lately. His book tours are very time consuming, and you would have to contact him directly for a response. The Draft Ben Carson effort is not associated with Dr.Carson, meaning, we can not communicate with him by law. However, everything Dr.Carson has stated concerning gun laws is below. Rest assured, he certainly does support the 2nd Amendment."Rest assured"? Did they really just say that? To me?
Does Dr. Carson support the Second Amendment? - Yes.***** Dr. Carson wants to keep guns out of the hands of mentally impaired individuals and violent criminals, and he fully supports gun ownership for law-abiding citizens.
Some of his comments include: “To threaten the Second Amendment rights of ordinary American citizens is itself insanity. Those wishing to ban all assault weapons fail to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment.”
"I used to think they (guns) needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns."
"If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay, but there are some pretty sinister internal forces."
"I truly believe in Second Amendment rights. I would never advocate anything to interfere with Second Amendment rights; however, I do think we have to be intelligent."
We need to engage in a discussion about, 'Is there something we can do?'" (about keeping guns away from criminals and mentally ill people.)
"We have to keep in mind that law-abiding American citizens absolutely should have gun rights."

On the Horns of a Dilemma
D.C. police were told Sunday not to arrest people for carrying handguns on the street in the wake of a judge’s ruling that overturned the city’s principal gun-control law. [More]I intend to be very careful about this, not read too much into things yet, and urge caution from all. The exuberant but undisciplined, infiltrators and provocateurs could do some very simple things the media could then amplify to horrify those who know no better-- and there are a lot of those.
UPDATE: I called the Metro PD media contact person to try to get a copy of Chief Lanier's order, and have not heard back. Dave Workman beat everyone to the punch on that, and quotes it along with bringing us developing information in his column today.
NBC uses unqualified psychiatric ‘experts’ to disparage gun defense
If there are actual informed, scientific method-derived conclusions here, NBC failed to produce even one. In this case, they may as well have asked Stephen Marder, DJ Jaffe and Eve Herold what hesitation on acceleration and a “check engine” light on the dashboard signified, and then asked them to fix the problem instead of consulting a qualified mechanic. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes anyone consulting an expert in one field for professional advice in another is just plain nuts.
A Man of... No, It Can't Be "God"
No one was "brandishing" their guns. [More]
I know. I was there. And you brought it all on yourselves.
The closest anyone came was some idiot "real reporter" asking people to take their guns out of their holsters for the camera, and event organizers warned the crowd about that as soon as they heard a "real reporter" had no idea why that's not a good idea.
You're either a liar or an ignoramus, "Reverend."
Do you even know what "brandishing" is?
UPDATE: And what the hell is a "fully loaded ammunition cartridge"?

Those Who Cannot Remember the Past
Knesset tightens gun control with no opposition [More]Fools. And we're supposed to "stand with" this?

We're the Only Ones with a Youthful Outlook Enough
Officer Wendel Palmer, 46, was found guilty of repeatedly sexually assaulting a then-10-year-old girl from 2004 to 2006. [More]And again with the Eternal Question...
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The good -- this comment, left under yesterday's column by WoG Correspondent "russn8r":
The ugly -- the comment was in response to a troll (that is, a demonstrable sadist-psychopath / infiltrator/disruptor), who in typical "progressive" fashion, along with demanding no guns and urging everyone to join Everytown in the various steaming piles he's dropped all over the comments section, tells a pro-gun woman to "Please have that fascist gash of yours sealed so as not to produce defective brats we have to support" and then concludes "She's probably a lesbian anyway."
I find it encouraging. The totalitarians have nothing else, and every time they resort to Alinsky Rule 5, which is every time they troll, they further demonstrate that for "progressives," every day IS Opposite Day.
Your philosophical forefathers also had courts in NAZI Germany, the Soviet Union, Communist China, communist Mexico during the Cristero Wars, communist Cambodia, Rwanda, Guatemala, Turkey, and other places, to "protect" the people after you disarmed them with gun control. Yet tens of millions of defenseless victims were murdered BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS after your gun controls disarmed them and left them totally defenseless.The bad -- the comment has not appeared and has been "awaiting moderation" since yesterday. That probably means the Prozis have been flagging it as "offensive." It also reflects defective moderation, as several times over the past week they've let spam comments through that I've had to email them about with delete requests. And they also let vicious troll comments through, which brings me to...

The Mills of God
A good comment, written in German, posted under my DC gun decision article:
Hey, God helps those who help themselves.
And those mills won't grind at all unless people take the initiative and help with all the needed tasks.
Gottes Mühlen mahlen langsam, mahlen aber trefflich klein.My addendum, posted here:
Die Kleine Rote Henne: "Wer wird das Getreide zu Mühle bringen und es mahlen?"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

This Day in History: July 28
Desertions of soldiers engaged for the war continue, or have rather encreased. A steady old serjeant, corporal and three men have gone off from the 5. Massachusetts regiment; some of them have families; it is thought they have gone to them, and that the service would be promoted by sending an officer after these and others. I have thought it might be attended with good consequences, for unless something is done to bring the deserters back others will be prompted to follow them. [More]

Massachusetts police chiefs demand more power to disarm citizenry
“Having long guns--rifles and shotguns--especially here in the city of Boston, I think we should have, as the local authority, some say in the matter,” Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told Boston Public Radio (WGBH) in a July 23 interview. “For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun. Nobody needs a rifle.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes giving monopoly of violence enforcers "flexibility" with rights allows them to be tied up in all kinds of unique and evil ways.

Firearms carry ban struck down in D.C.
“In light of Heller, McDonald, and their progeny, there is no longer any basis on which this Court can conclude that the District of Columbia’s total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny,” Senior Judge Frederick J. Scullin, Jr. wrote in a Memorandum-Decision Order signed Thursday and filed today. [More]Huge news. Tantrum by the antis in 3...2..1..
