"A True Champion of the Second Amendment"

"He is a true champion of the Second Amendment," LaPierre said of Reid. [More]

I've always thought in spite of his other Marxist tendencies, the demographics of Nevada forced Reid to be a fairly reliable pro-gun vote. So I'm curious to know why GOA rates him an "F"--all I can think of is his support for Obama and other parts of the leftist agenda have enough of a subversive back-door effect on gun rights that they wash out his more direct supporting actions. Regardless, not that I'll ever see it, but I'd be really curious to see how Harry would answer this. And even more curious to see how Wayne would answer this. [Via Brian F]

We're the Only Ones "One Ring to Rule Them All" Enough

A sex trade ring in which young girls were allegedly pistol-whipped and forced from their homes into sexual slavery was broken up in Houston this week and several suspects are in custody.

Five people, including a former Houston police officer, were arrested...[More]

In "Comments":

Came across this site quite by accident and cannot believe the intolerant attitude of some and the manner in which Dick's opinion is simply rubbished. Dick has a valid point and what is contained here does not constitute proof - it is hearsay and opinion. Why would anyone in their right mind want to go anywhere with a concealed gun or a unconcealed gun? Does a gun make you more of a macho man? A modern day Billy the Kid! I always thought that the pro gun groups were loony - this site and the attitudes of those that post on it proves it. [More]

Thanks, Gary S. People like you do more to discredit yourself than anything I could possibly come up with.

What do you think with "rubbished"? A Brit?

Pools More Dangerous than Guns for Kern County Kids

Knowledge is the key to safe practices. Ignorance leads to tragedy. Provide age-appropriate gun training to those in your care. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column encourages education--for the children.

Plus, I'll be on the Andy Caldwell Show (KINF AM 1440, Central Coast, CA) at 4:00 pm PST to discuss, among other things, New Jersey's one-gun-a-month bill and ACORN's role in using tax money to stump for citizen disarmament. I've included a live stream link. I hope you have a chance to listen.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

This Day in History: August 27

As most of the Men in this County have left their families at home and turned out in a spirited manner in defence of their Country, it is hoped that the Troops under your command will not in the least injure their property, by destroying their Fences, Corn, or Fruit. [More]

Chris Bunch Supports Gun Owners--Will They Support Him?

This isn't something you can wait on, or figure the other guy will do. Will you do something? Anything? [More]

I've said it before--apathy is as great an enemy as opposition. Tonight's Gun Rights Examiner column attempts to give another push.

Anybody wants to lend a hand, I won't say "No"...

'Education' misspelled on CMS teacher coaster [More]

If they were truly educated, they'd forget working out a deal with the vendor, make lemonade out of lemons and sell these things as a fundraiser to people who think it would be funny to own one.

I imagine they'd recoup their $1,500 and even make a profit.

We're the Only Ones Who SHOULD Have These Things

"The bottom line is people simply should not have these things and that's why we have laws against them." [More]

So does that mean that, unlike Soylent Green, "Only Ones" aren't people?

And I wonder what Mr. Coxe would have to say about this?

A New Twist

These are some of the same stupid laws that we have to follow — and some that are being proposed — for legal gun ownership. [More]

Marc Folco addresses alcohol and firearms. Throw some tobacco in there and we could have a pretty good time--as long as we left government out of the mix.

We're the Only Ones Threatening Enough

The 10-year department veteran used a knife to threaten one man, then left. However, he returned a short time later, kicked foot [food?--DC] out of the man's hand and pointed the .45 caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun at his head. [More]

I've been to Old Tony's many times. I also walked neighborhoods distributing flyers for Proposition E many years ago. The good sheeple of Redondo Beach decided that "Only Ones" like Officer Chong could be trusted with guns.

They called it "a vote of reason over fear."

Oh, and the councilman mentioned in the Prop E link? He's the one I wrote about here.

The Rules of Engagement

"We're not looking to come across as being heavy-handed," he said. "We want to make sure that everybody knows what the rules of engagement are to help spur greater compliance, so that enforcement becomes less of an issue. But we're still going to enforce." [More]

Thank goodness you're not being heavy-handed, Scott Wolfson.

"Rules of engagement." Over this. Good grief. At what point do your JBTs get to shoot?

I guess "Chairwoman" works for Inez Tenenbaum, in a Chicom kind'a way, although with all those "Czars" flitting about, I'm surprised she's not called "Czarina."

Anybody know if there's a feminine form for "Führer "?

Why am I thinking of a fictional passage in a yet-unwritten novel where a Jart is used to provide ironic justice...? Remember those? I miss 'em--they were fun. I think I need to buy a set if I can find one--better yet, two sets, so I can offer one for sale in defiance of power-mad authoritarians.

Gun Registration Not Supported by History

As for those on "our side" who feel a compelling need to volunteer that the Heller decision combined with Militia Act intent now makes mandatory gun registration "legal," remember that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land." They and those who would exploit their "reluctant" admissions would do well to remember that some of us know you don't need to wear black robes and speak all the ritual judicial incantations to understand the intent behind our right to keep and bear arms-- and our commitment to preserving and restoring it. [More]

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column is the third part in a series necessitated by ostensible "pro-gun scholars and advocates" who seem to think mandatory gun registration would be constitutional. Fortunately, I get some expert help.

Part 1: Gun registration is NOT constitutional

Part 2: Militia Act did not establish constitutionality of mandatory gun registration

Important Update to Chris Bunch for Congress Appeal

I've been advised that a special election primary will be held on Sept. 1, which is NEXT WEEK with a runoff in Nov. So it is critical that support be given NOW... [More]

Today's first Gun Rights Examiner column is a special update to yesterday's article about a congressional candidate who's not afraid to take a hard line stance on the Second Amendment.

I believe if we sit back and let others spread the word on this one, nothing will get done. I also believe apathy will destroy any incentive politicians have to seriously champion RKBA.

I hope you join me in promoting this information.

This Day in History: August 26

The officers commanding corps are to see that their men's arms are immediately cleaned and put in the best order possible; that the ammunition likewise be carefully inspected, and the proper number of rounds for each man completed; that the bayonets fix well; that the flints be screwed in fast, and every thing put in perfect readiness for action. [More]

What?

You mean they didn't do this so the government would have authority to mandate gun registration???
