"Broward School District affirms gun policy for toys"

We discussed one such incident the other day. The Sun Sentinel tells us another child has run afoul of the Broward County School Board over a toy gun.

They say their hands are tied because of stat law, but here's the thing:
[T]he district's policy distinguishes between a Class A weapon, including "Firearms — any kind of gun," tear gas and explosives — and Class B weapons, including toys, knives, chains or razor blades. She said the toy gun was a Class B weapon and not a firearm, which state law describes as weapons that "expel a projectile by the action of an explosive."

The penalty for Class A weapons: a one-year expulsion; for Class B: a 10-day suspension.
Well that's very different. And the official reaction?
"The way to avoid all of this is, don't bring what you think is a toy and we think is a projectile."
Why do "officials" get away with such arrogance?

Because they can.

We're the Only Ones Uncooperative Enough

Haynes was uncooperative at the scene of the shooting, refusing to give a statement or explain what had happened, according to the sheriff's office incident report...When asked again what had happened, Haynes repeats, "A kid suffered a gunshot wound to his hand." [More]

You know, the gun went off...

It says he's "not technically an undercover officer."

It sounds like he's not technically much of anything.

Why are some gun owners afraid of permitless concealed carry?

Politics, we are told, as if majority opinion is the final determinant of liberty, is the art of the possible. What envelope the safe-players have pushed to know what's truly possible remains unsaid. Can you imagine where we'd be if our history was one of avoiding risks? [More]

Gun Owners of America Endorses Vicky Hartzler for Congress

From GOA, via email:

September 21, 2010


Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Vicky Hartzler for Congress in Missouri's Fourth Congressional District.

Vicky served in the state legislature from 1995-2000, earning an A+ rating for her unwavering support of the Second Amendment. She is just the type of person we need to stand against the anti-gun agenda of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The incumbent representative, Ike Skelton, has shown his true colors in the current session of Congress by repeatedly siding with Pelosi on issues important to gun owners.

Three times in 2009 he voted against amendments to repeal a gun ban in national parks, while at the same time voting to massively expand the amount of federally controlled land.

And in 2010, Skelton voted for a bill that would strangle the First Amendment rights of groups like Gun Owners of America. The so-called DISCLOSE Act would impose a host of new restrictions on groups like GOA, effectively limiting our ability to hold individual congressmen accountable in the weeks leading up to an election.

Missouri's gun owners and sportsmen expect their elected officials to represent their interests, not those of the liberal House Speaker from San Francisco.

That is why Gun Owners of America stands with Vicky Hartzler. She will oppose any and all gun control schemes that come to the House floor, and she will fight to remove unconstitutional gun laws on the books.

Vicky gets it right when she says, "Only the people have Liberty -- Washington's power is on loan."

GOA urges all gun owners and sportsmen to get behind the Hartzler campaign by volunteering, putting out a yard sign, and contributing to this important race. You can visit www.vickyhartzler.com for more information.

And most importantly, please remember to vote for Vicky in the November election, and make sure your pro-gun family, friends and neighbors do the same.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman

"We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect," it added. [More]
What can you expect?

You can expect to be slaves, used or disposed of as the monsters whose boots you lick wish. It seems a role you have accepted.

How can you change that?

Demand freedom. Kill your oppressors. Make them stop.

You'll need some tools to get started that your rulers don't want you to have.

They're trying to take them from us, too, and using your sorry lot as an excuse, but we won't let them. And because we have those tools, and because there are enough of us, they're afraid to try it all at once.

"I felt threatened by her," said Jones. "She had threatened me and I told the police that. And she was threatening my family at the time of that incident. I just reacted to what she had done." [More]

We're the Only Ones Incredible Enough

Just seven months after the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office concluded a year-long undercover drug sting that nabbed nearly 100 suspects, and six months after his office received an award for the operation, Sheriff Greg Champagne said the District Attorney's office will have to drop the charges against approximately 60 of the suspects because the credibility of the lead deputy in the case has been compromised.

I Thought We'd Take In Dinner, a Movie and a Corpse...

"The thought that a victim's body would somehow be used as a lure ... I don't know who could ever see it as a lure, that's almost gallows humor," he said. "To have an autopsy be used as a premise for a social engagement is just beyond anything anybody could imagine." [More]
Yeah, every time I tried to arrange my dates around dead victims, I never seemed to get anywhere.

This, along with the "sexting" charge and its circumstances, really is a window into the soul of those who view us as things to be exploited, is it not? And they're only "considering" removing this twisted creep?
