The Idiots Hall of Fame

Oregon Firearms Federation puts on a show. [More]

We're the Only Ones Highly Irregular Enough

Hill made a police officer a regular citizen inside the courthouse. [More]
But no more, thank goodness. Now, they're once more extra-special elite "Only Ones."

And sorry guys--if they get in trouble there, that lady in Atlanta won't be able to help...

Answer a Question for Me

Atlanta Woman Uses Stun Gun To Help Officer In Distress [More]
Read the whole story. Once you have, I have a question.

Would you have done this? Why or why not?

Drug War Victims

Most of us are victims of it. We pay for it, both in treasure and in lost freedoms. These people just paid a higher price--but one that can be extracted from us at any time by its beneficiaries. [More]

Causes and Necessity

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE DECLARATION OF THE CAUSES AND NECESSITY OF TAKING UP ARMS 1775 [More]
An interesting resource...

I cited the declaration here, which many of you have probably not seen. Go ahead and read it--I'll still be here when you get back.

We're the Only Ones Adolescent Enough

A 14-year-old boy was charged with false impersonation of a police officer after entering a South Side police station in full uniform Saturday and “reporting for duty.” [More]
A proto-Chi-Town "Only One"...

And those in the know don't think station vulnerabilities are a fluke...

Redbook Heroes

Yeah, right, we're going to let these rich socialist dilettante broads disarm us. Ol' Abby Spangler really comes off with some attitude, doesn't she?

Solution one, of course, is to not buy "Redbook." Activists know this already, and realize that women's magazines as a rule are subversive diversions designed to promulgate an agenda by influencing mass behaviors. Of course, the same can be said for Oprah, or The View...

But we might be surprised how many Fuddwives eat this crap up.

Another solution would be to pick a sponsor and start a boycott campaign. But this is one case where I have to agree with the "political capital" theory--there are much more important targets to focus resources on than these privileged dimwits.

I still would like someone to show up at a "lie in" with a portable ramp, a motorcycle and an Evel Knievel outfit...

We're the Only Ones Who Got Your Goat Enough

Police in Nigeria are holding a goat handed to them by a vigilante group, which said it was a car thief who had used witchcraft to change shape.

A police spokesman in Kwara State has been quoted as saying that the "armed robbery suspect" would remain in custody until investigations were over. [More]
Hey, we shouldn't laugh. Look how many people in this country still believe "Only Ones" have some kind of special magic making them more trustworthy to bear arms than "regular people."

For the Children (Part Two)

My bottom line? If Obama wants "childproof guns," let's see him mandate them for his Secret Service protection detail first. I'll still be against the idea, but at least we'll see he actually believes in a technology he would impose on you and me. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column picks up where we left off on Friday...

One of the commentator yesterday said he saw a link on Craigs List--yeah, I've been putting them there, in the "Politics" section. It depends on the city, because in some, the antis don't believe it's a legitimate political discussion to have, so they're flagging them and getting them removed. But I persist in doing what I can behind the scenes to make this a success, from Digg, to Facebook to Twitter...so I hope when I ask for a hand spreading the word, WarOnGuns regulars will continue giving me a hand.

And if you missed the column over the weekend, I did several posts. The one I want to call special attention to pretty much tops off my arguments on the Eric Holder threat.

Hey--we have a new Gun Rights Examiner in Charlotte, Paul Valone. I've linked to his column in the box below, along with the other guys.

UPDATE: At this time (11:24 AM EST) my Gun Rights Examiner column #2 in the "Politics' category, but not even in the top 5 for "National." Those spots go to Crime, Early Childhood Parenting, Beatles, Pro Wrestling and Astrology, respectively.

Check out the latest from other Gun Rights Examiners:

Why Can't We Be Friends?

If you belong to a grassroots group and can see the advantage of cross-promoting with a national gun rights column that is growing and branching out, or if you are a pro-gun rights blogger who would like to exchange links... [More]
I keep giving little clues that I'm serious about promoting this Gun Rights Examiner opportunity, and this is my latest outreach. I hope I can count on the regulars here to look kindly on this effort and lend a helping hand...?

Holder Clutches at Gun Rights

That this civil liberties nightmare is intended as our next attorney general ought to scare all of us--enough to motivate our personal and sustained involvement in opposing him. [More]
Here is today's Gun Rights Examiner post. I consider it the most important one in the series so far, and as such, will be spending most of my time today promoting it. I hope I can count on the regulars here to join me, to share the link with your friends, to link to it in your blogs, to post it on forums you frequent...

I'm outta here for a while. I've got work to do.

Look at Me Damien! It's All for YOU!

It's like his worshipers are doing everything but hanging an "Antichrist" sign around the guy's neck...I mean, come on... [More]

It's 'The Carolyn McCarthy Show'

These are the people who would use the power of the state to disarm you and me. They insist on imposing their ignorance on the rest of us-- under force of law.[More]
I thought this was an appropriate follow-up for today's Gun Rights Examiner theme.

Please share the link.

We're the Only Ones Setting an Example Enough

Miner is also accused of grabbing her "forcefully by the back of the head and hair" and kissing her, straddling her when she tried to get up, and threatening to post digital pictures of her in restraints on the Internet if she didn't spend the night with him...

Lt. Ronald M. Hendrickson, 47, of Yorktown faces felony charges of abduction, abduction with intent to defile and animate object penetration, plus misdemeanor sexual battery...

Finally, last summer an assistant police chief was arrested for drunken driving after a state trooper spotted her weaving in traffic on Interstate 64.[More]
What more can I say about forceful, penetrating "Only Ones" being such a driving force in Newport News?

C-SPAN Presents Nordyke

Today

This weekend, C-SPAN presents oral arguments in the case of Nordyke vs. King. The Court decides if Alameda County, California's ban on gun shows at the annual county fair is unconstitutional. Gun show promoters Russell & Sallie Nordyke argue that the ban violates their First Amendment right of free speech and their Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Transcript of Holder Hearings

Western Rifle Shooters Association has it. [More]

It's actually courtesy of Sebastian. He sent me the NYT link via email.

The Wolves Are At The Door

Oregon Firearms Federation urges its members to tell their senators to block Eric Holder.[More]

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

The wife of a Conservative councillor told police about an arsenal of handguns he kept at his sprawling country home in revenge for having to give him £180,000 in a divorce settlement, a court has heard. [More]
Hell hath no fury...

If she knew about it, that made her an accessory. They ought to prosecute the bi...the cu...the...

Huh. It strikes me that sounded just like Porky Pig.

People, I know more than one life that's been destroyed by a vindictive ex. I actually had a guy write me a while back asking for advice because his girlfriend is anti-gun and he wanted to hide his buying a new one from her. I told him that was the least of his problems.

Many relationships end. It's sad, but there you have it. That's why character counts so very much. Doing what you can to determine that before committing yourself is the best insurance. Ignoring warning signs or thinking a person will change is a fool's bet.
