It Could Never Happen Here?

We're the Only Ones Not Going Off Enough

Officer's gun accidentally fires in San Antonio Middle School [More]
"...his gun discharged...the gun accidentally fired..."

Great job, "Authorized Journalists"!

On the plus side, at least it wasn't a dark colored sedan doing the shooting this time.

Questions for Calexico Police Officer Mario Alcaraz

So, when you were young, did you want to grow up to be an oath-breaker, or is that something you decided in later years was the best way to feed yourself? [Read]

I suppose there is a chance you may be so ignorant you have no idea what I'm referring to...and that's actually the scariest possibility.

Gander Molehill or Gander Mountain?

And look, the antis are bragging about it on Facebook--and promising to go after the next venue NRA tries to use--seems they hate the First Amendment as much as they do the Second:

I've asked for an explanation:

Police Seek "Dark Colored" Killer Sedan

Detectives say Stone was just out for a morning jog, on his normal route, when a dark-colored,  four-door sedan pulled by, slowed down, fired several shots at him, then pulled off, without ever stopping. [More]
Oh, wait, this version has more detail, albeit it presents the same assumption about autovolition:

Several people witnessed Stone’s murder. They told police a dark-colored car driving north on 67th Street passed Stone as he was jogging, and without slowing down, opened fire on him. Witnesses say there were two black men inside the car.
I wonder why some "Authorized Journalists" take it on themselves to suppress basic and essential facts about violent crimes, especially when it's the public that's at risk, and it's the public being appealed to to help identify the seda...uh...killers at large.

Not really. It's a simple pincer maneuver. The attack on the other flank accuses those who advocate armed self-defense of being paranoid racists, seething with unfounded hatred and fear (due to our all having tiny wieners, no doubt). Even though time and again the premise that the police can't protect people is borne out, and even though we'd also want to know if a stalking monster "looked like" someone besides Obama's imaginary son from his composite girlfriend.

This Day in History: May 17

Reports of minor raids, rumors of intended movements by the enemy on a large scale, actual suffering on the part of the settlers for want of provisions, depreciation in Continental currency which had by now become practically worthless, and the difficulties of affording a semblance of protection by reinforcing the meager garrisons already posted, due to the impossibility of obtaining supplies for the militia, the only force available for this service, had by May brought about a most lamentable condition on the frontiers. As a result of this condition the more remote settlements were reported as daily breaking up and Colonel Van Schaick was led to express (1) the fear that unless some speedy and effectual measures were taken to inspire the despondent people with confidence, Schenectady would in all probability soon be the frontier to the westward.

The Voice of Experience

‘We’ve Spent Enough Time Playing Small Ball' [More] 

From the man who puts the "eh" in "Boner"...

In other news, he was "very pleased with the sandwiches."   When it says he "pushed Obama" on Fast and Furious, it's not clear if small balls came into play...

Obama memorials bury Fast and Furious law enforcement deaths

While disappointing, it’s hardly surprising, especially considering no one in the “mainstream press” elected to deem that development newsworthy, consistent with their documented record of ignoring or misdirecting the Fast and Furious story. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes leave it to this administration to diss the memories of Gunwalker victims while purporting to honor all fallen officers.

Blood on Their Hands Update

Tired of the media’s lack of serious interest in addressing the explosive nature of the scandal, award-winning documentary maker Michael McNulty...decided it was time to take action.[More]
The New American notices this.

It sure looks like a lot more people who say they're outraged and want to see the truth come out need to.

We're the Only Ones Launching Hysteria Enough

 THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK! [Read]
Oh, look. A single-shot disposable  AT4 Trainer!

Which makes Beck a con artist, and not a very skillful one.

Think police and government authorities who want to disarm you have securing your blessings of Liberty in mind?

Think the "Authorized Journalists" know?

Think they should?

Think the Associated Press in particular has an agenda?

Think most Angelenos would give a damn if you told them they were being hustled or is the conditioning--what did Holder call it?--"brainwashing"--that complete?

Think again.

An Object Lesson

I'll bet we could extrapolate from that.

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

Britain's military will be armed with a sonic device that can be used as a high-volume loudspeaker or a non-lethal weapon to disperse crowds at this summer's Olympic Games in London...[More] 
That speaks volumes.

We're the Only Ones Not Giving Back to the Community Enough

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the police departments in San Francisco and Oakland, California for refusing to return firearms to people who had been charged with crimes, but subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing. [More]
The thing is, monopoly of violence cultists consider gun ownership by any but the "Only Ones" to be "wrongdoing."

The other thing is, these lawsuits aren't cheap, and the precedents they establish benefit more than just the plaintiffs.  Take a look at all the ones they're funding throughout the land as well as their past successes.

They could sure use a hand.

An Unindicted Hater

This way, inconvenient outcasts can be officially portrayed that way even if no charges end up being filed. [Read]

A Condition of Employment

Wayne County Worker Fired after Finding Gun on the Job [More]
He should have redeemed that piece of junk at a "buyback". No questions asked.

Pretty nice gig otherwise, though, getting a retirement package at his age. Public "service" sure dispenses benefits most private wealth-generating enterprises would be hard-put to offer. Sounds to me like there's more going on here. Between bureaucrats and public employee unions, I don't see a dog in this fight I really want to win.

Render Unto Caesar

“The filibuster is exactly that — it’s a rule that’s crippled our system of government. Undocumented youth, perhaps like no other group, understands about the legislative process,” said Caesar Vargas, an illegal immigrant who went through college and law school and could benefit from the Dream Act legalization bill. “We have lived it; we have shed tears for it. And we have seen a minority able to cripple dreams.” [More] 
"Our system."

Hit it, Shirley...

This Day in History: May 16

It appears to me, from the above mentioned Papers, that the said ship Flora is not a good Prize, the same belonging to the Subjects of a Neutral Nation: But that the Cargo is really the property of the Subjects of the King of England tho' attempted to be masqu'd as neutral. [More]
