We're the Only Ones Exempted Enough

"We have a blanket policy to use the exemption in all cases," said Jody Donaldson, a spokesman for the Alexandria Police Department. "I can’t think of a single example where we wouldn’t use the exemption." [More]

And did Lt. Patrick Donahue really say "In the interest of fairness..."?

Honest and fair men don't fear the light. The only plausible explanation is Alexandria "Only Ones" are afraid of having their activities reviewed by We the People.

Why would that be?

And why would anyone trust them with anything, let alone guns?

MSNBC: Most Subversive Network Bashes Constitution

So Chris Matthews thinks people expressing their political views deserves to be shunned and beaten up? And Drew Westen demands a 1-mile radius traveling citizen disarmament circle to follow the president around wherever he goes? Plus anyone who's not a national socialist is a racist, even if we're not aware of it? [More]

And we have to be "called out" for it?

Go ahead. Call us out.

"80% of Americans" may indeed be ignorant enough to fall for this. The important segment to keep in mind are the 3% who are not.

We're the Only Ones "Stone Walls Do Not a Prison Make" Enough

A corrections officer at Pollock's U.S. Penitentiary has been arrested and stands accused of agreeing to smuggle a gun and drugs into the prison for an inmate in exchange for $50,000, according to court documents. [More]

I debated giving this one an "Only Ones" title, because "Meanwhile, Behind the Bars in Sarah Brady Paradise..." also works well on a couple different levels.

Would Alarm Have Given Annie Le a Chance?

One gets the feeling Ms. Brown has never gone one-on-one with an enraged male over twice her size who has murder on his mind. And it doesn't seem to occur to her that if she has time to depress a keypad, she'll have time to depress something else. It's just that that flash she mentions won't transmit a photograph. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column recommends choosing the right tool for the job--or at least having the right to choose your tool. Hopefully, critics will manage to forgo all that seething hostility this time--or not. It's actually kind of fun watching raging loons melt down.

This Day in History: September 18

Revolutionaries under the command of Colonel Thomas Polk, with 200 cavalry from the colonies of North Carolina and Virginia have secured the Liberty Bell and begin a journey to evacuate the Bell from Philadelphia and secure it 60 miles north, in Allentown. September 18, 1777, the entourage and armed escort arrive in Richland Township (Quakertown). [More]

We're the Only Ones Using Our Powers for Good Enough

On Tuesday, Ed Musgrove of the sheriff's department told 10News the device was only being used for good...[More]

And doesn't that just sound like the solemn pledge of some corny superhero?

But I'm being cynical. Since when have "Only Ones" ever used their powers otherwise...?

Hey, the panel on that LARD..uh...LRAD device looks like it would be just the right size to backstop a long-range target, doesn't it?

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

A millionaire businessman is facing jail for attacking a career criminal who had held his family hostage at knifepoint. [More]

I know some will say he should have stopped once the attack was over.

I'm not one of them.

We're the Only Ones Back on the Job Enough

Cop in post-Katrina beating of teacher can get job back, appeals court rules [More]

What's a Louisiana "Only One" need to do to get fired and stay fired? Beat the crap out of an in-custody woman half his size?

No, that won't do it either.

We're the Only Ones Meaner Enough

Authorities say a former North Las Vegas police officer agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges stemming from allegations he sought dates and sexual favors from women he stopped for traffic violations. [More]

So "Only One" attempts at coerced sex truly are misdemeanors? You know--de more you miss de meaner you get...?

Figures they'd let this abusive deviant plea down. Any wonder what would have happened had one of these women pulled a firearm on him and ordered him to back off?

We're the Only Ones Pushing Enough

A former District police officer is among a dozen men charged in a cocaine ring based in Southern Maryland that netted more than $1.5 million, authorities said Wednesday. [More]

So basically, for 12 years he was deemed an "Only One" more trustworthy to carry a gun than you or I are.

But I'm sure he would have never abused that trust while on duty, right?

The Fast Track for Forgiveness

He added that some senators are eager to get back in good stead with the National Rifle Association after crossing the group by voting to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court... [More]

Because "allowing" guns in locked cased on federally-subsidized trains and confirming a SCOTUS nominee hostile to RKBA are so equally weighted in importance, you see...

Don't let the noise about "another pro-gun victory" drown out this fact. I'm still waiting to see what that "cost" for confirmation will turn out to be. My guess is, stuff like this will be used as justification to not extract a noticeable price at all.

We're the Only Ones Watching Your Back Enough

Hendricks shot John Paul Hambleton, 32, in the back as he ran from the detective and his partner... [More]

So will the same justification excuse work for one of us, or is that reserved exclusively for "Only Ones"?

Essential Liberty..? Temporary Safety...? Deal!

The city just installed high-tech cameras that catch every car that rolls through the city limits. And city residents say they are willing to give up privacy for protection. [More]

Mr. Franklin...

Paging Mr. Franklin...

Besides, we need to use "public funds" to keep Bill Gates safe so he can keep using his private ones to support our continued disarmament...

NYC = Nanny State? Health Dept. considering smoking ban in parks [More]

What is it about some "former smokers"-- like Bloomberg?

I think I'm starting to sense a grander plan unfolding. In an effort to deter being victimized by further terrorist attacks against American targets, the mayor et al. are doing their utmost to make the Big Apple as un-American as they can...

I do find it telling how many degraded denizens there will bitch and moan about their freaking cigarettes, but not give a moment's thought to their right to keep and bear arms--aside from denying and disparaging it.

Door-to-Door Obamacare

Prosecutors on Long Island say two people used President Obama's health care plan as a pretext to force their way into a home, shoot and beat three people, and steal $4,000. [More]

And remarkably, neither of them had badges.

A Redefinitization

"Look, I know this probably sounds arrogant to say," the president said, "but I redefined the Republican Party." [More]

Yeah, you sure did, idiot.

How's that working out?

This Day in History: September 17

The Enemy seem now to be straining every nerve to accomplish their purpose; but I trust, whatever present success they may have, they will ere long experience a reverse of fortune. If they have four thousand Men in the Jersies, it is probable they have something more serious in view than a mere diversion. But I am in hopes when Genl McDougall comes to unite his force with the Militia, General Dickenson will be strong enough effectually to make head against them. [More]

If You Don't Like Guns...

...don't get one. [More]

I like this guy.

House Gag Rules

Likewise, it has been held that a member could not:

* call the President a “liar.”
* call the President a “hypocrite.”
* describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
* charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”
* refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
* refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.” [More]

I have no evidence besides uncorroborated allegations on that last one, but it looks like the rest of this list prohibits We the People's representatives from speaking the truth.

Not that there's generally much danger of that anyway.

Still, it's always interesting watching how unrestrained Marxists operate.
