Did'ja Hear the One About the "Gun Lover in Pittsburgh"?

That's how Aida Ekberg characterized him. [More]

She tells us we "know these news stories are not helping the view some Americans have of gun owners," and reveals:
I personally wish that no one in America owned a gun, for hunting or otherwise; I've seen the twisted and sick glee hunters get from killing animals, and it makes me wonder sometimes about what they would do to a human being if given the chance.
Actually, Aida, I do not give a damn about how "some Americans" view me--not if they're anything like you. You've just relieved us of any responsibility to care what you think.

It not only sounds like you have a bit of projection going on, but you also reveal some unresolved Daddy issues we really didn't need to know about, but are nonetheless instructive in explaining those all those weird noises and twitches.

But the government needs to do something, right? Anything?
Still, it's obvious that the government needs to do something. Perhaps government officials just need to work out a way to better control gun ownership with stricter rules on who can own a gun and what gun owners have to do to earn the right to possess one. They also need to put a limit on the number of weapons gun owners can possess and develop stricter penalties for sellers who don't abide by the laws when selling weapons. It may or may not help, but they need to take some kind of action.
Go away, you immoral neurotic fool.

Not So Much Cynicism as Resolve in the Face of Reality

We have in our midst millions of one-man militias - trusting no one, cynical about life in a changing society, convinced of the likelihood of more dysfunction and gun violence, and convinced, above all, that few in elected office have the guts to do anything about it. [More]
Start acting like you believe that, Dan, and stop with the hand-wringing and wishful subversive thinking, and you just may be able to co-exist here. Because we will not disarm.

We don't insist that you agree with us. What we do insist on is that you leave us the hell alone.

"Voluntary Coast Guard"

According to Al Sharpton, that term "may be more apt" to describe Somali pirates. [More]

You know, kind of like Obama's "voluntary" service plan?

Does anyone really think such a diseased mind has any intention of letting us live in peace?

If You Can't Dazzle them with Brilliance...

...baffle them with BS. [More]

Good Lord, these idiots are in denial.

And what happened to George Quick's escalation theory, you know, that this will force the pirates to come up with more effective weapons to overcome a threat? George, are you really that stupid or are you just a paid liar with no self respect? Is there a third alternative we should know about?

Faux News. How the left continues to get by with the fiction that they are "conservative" is one of the great frauds of our time. And it's amazing how many Kosbots and Huffpovians indignantly believe it.

Not really, If they had a brain in their heads, they wouldn't be Kosbots and Huffpovians in the first place.

CNN Goes Straight to the Source on Right Wing Terror

Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups, agreed that Obama's election may have boosted membership in such groups...[More]
Ah, yes, the SPLC.

You know, the ones who provided all those talking points for that discredited MIAC report...

DHS on the Left

See, the right is comprised of crazy violent Nazi militia extremists.

The left are basically hackers. [More]

We all believe that, right?

Fun with Bradys

Newbius shows us they can't handle the truth. [More]

But showing the class and fairness we've come to expect of them, they feel free to comment on his site while denying him a forum on theirs.

Why not wander on over and say "Good morning"?

Why does Homeland Security's Gun Smuggling Report Mislead Law Enforcement?

The government has no business keeping reports like these under wraps, particularly when they are used to undermine fundamental protections against government infringement articulated in the Bill of Rights. This is information citizens are entitled to know about, and the shame of it is, we won't get it from any of the investor-funded globe-spanning "news" corporations with their staffs of researchers, reporters, editors, producers--you know, the "government watchdogs." You're getting it from one guy with extremely limited reach. Forget most Americans--most gun owners will never see this. If you want them to, it's up to you to share the link to this column with them. [More]
I don't know that anything is going to happen with this, but you might want to read and share the link for today's Gun Rights Examiner column while you can.

Also see lies from Mexico, the truth from Mexico and a bid for UN/global dominion over American gun laws. And, of course, get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Anybody want to help me bang pots and turn on lights?

This Day in History: April 15

April 15, 1777, it was "Resolved" by Congress "that the Appellations, 'Congress'' own,' Washington Life Guards,' etc., are improper and ought not to be kept up; but that all troops should be on the same footing." [More]

The Antonym of "Summit" is "Base"

Last week, the northeast Ohio county of Summit announced they were considering passing an ordinance to prohibit county workers from carrying firearms while working or doing county business, even while in personal vehicles. [More]
This is my home county. Russ Pry's poorly hidden hand is no surprise:
Pry is a strong leader who will continue to collaborate...
And I mean that in the Vicchy French sense of the term...

So how fitting and typical that he surrendered before a fight.

For the Children

Registration and licensing hasn't worked. It's time for an outright ban. [More]

There's one nagging suspicion I've had ever since this story broke, but I've noticed that nobody in all of "Authorized Journalism" is even asking about it...Still, it doesn't seem all that unreasonable a line of inquiry...

Ah well, I'm probably just being paranoid, hysterical and jingoistic. I need to get my imagination in check and focus on the real threat we all face.

We're the Only Ones Bagging Our Limit Enough

Coffey's family members said Sunday they doubt Minton's claim that he was provoked. "He was taken from us and he was shot on his own land minding his own business. Who shoots a 76-year-old on his own land?" Coffey's daughter told WXII12 news. [More]
Who indeed? Unfortunately, we'll never know Coffey's side of the story.

Not that the locals aren't speculating...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise

The family of a man who was stabbed to death by teenage thugs after he asked them to keep the noise down have been denied compensation - because he tried to fight off his killers. [More]

The Forest for the Trees

A former immigration adjudicator with the Department of Homeland Security was convicted by a federal grand jury Monday for conspiring to encourage immigrants to enter the country illegally and accepting a bribe to do it. [More]
I'd say Homeland Security is looking for threats to the Republic in all the wrong places...

Confirming Suspicions

Every time officials act to marginalize those of us working to return to Constitutional governance, they merely raise suspicions that they are acting to steal the very liberties we believe them to be stealing. [More]

Advice from an Expert


"The two times that I got mugged..."

Laughing here. Yeah, I think I'll be taking armed defense advice from an oblivious perpetually Condition White cud-chewer. I guess he just can't grasp that not everyone is as demonstrably incompetent as he is, which, I guess is why he is so demonstrably incompetent.

Michael Dozier, thank you for being you.

The thought strikes, he could be a Mary McFate-style insider, you know, intentionally making the Bradyites look ridiculous...? Because I truly can't imagine any "man" this effete and stupid. So maybe I'll just shut up about him now, and let him continue to do our work for us...

Oh, look--we must have struck a nerve:
The Brady Campaign "Group" has just gone "private" to facilitate better conversation amongst activists. If you have an idea or story to share please join and interact with activists, victims and other supporters. Trolls that come in to promote gun have been or shall be deleted/banned.
Man, I'm glad we got Michael on the inside before they did that.

We're the Only Ones "Do as We Say, Not as We Do" Enough

Officer Karen Dula did television interviews on local stations in 2006 advising center city bar hoppers not to drive drunk...

It made waves when Dula, then 27, was arrested -- in Uptown of all places -- by the state highway patrol at 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 11 for driving drunk....

Dula was not only still working for the department, but was working as a patrol officer in the department's Metro division, which covers Uptown. That means she can ticket and arrest other drivers for breaking the law, including for drunk driving. Adding further insult to irony is the fact that Dula, who lost her license for 30 days, had to go to court to get her driving privileges reinstated during work hours so she could drive to and from work -- and drive her patrol car.

And we haven't even gotten to the good part yet. Speeding killers, violent lesbians...no doubt just a few bad apples in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg "Only Ones" barrel...

Why does our Government Equate Constitutionalists with Terrorists?

Demonizing gun owners who believe in the founders' intent of the Second Amendment is nothing new for our government. I've been following such attempts for years, including media attempts to dismiss us as "vermin." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the new Homeland Security "right wing" report in light of similar attempts to smear Constitutionalists over recent years.

They do consider you an enemy, you know. Why else would they want to disarm you?

This Day in History: April 14

A Resolution by the Second Continental Congress, April 14, 1777 and printed by John Dunlap. One page, 8" x 13", Philadelphia. Signed in type by "JOHN HANCOCK, PRESIDENT", this rare resolution called for the substitution of the previous articles of the "Rules and Articles for the better Government of the Troops" with the four articles listed on this broadside. These articles allowed soldiers to bring their own provisions into American forts and garrisons; permitted officers to take complaints to the Continental General; allowed court-martials only be given after due process; and gave each states' Continental General the power to appoint military courts and pardon punishments (except for those sentenced to death).
