We want a police officer to be able to take any gun, his partner's gun, a criminal's gun, any gun, and use that gun to his advantage. If he is in a scuffle, and he gets a criminal's weapon and it's useless to him, we've got a safety problem. [More]The FOP, of all groups, has a novel consideration...

Surprising Critics
As Long as We're Doing Comparisons...
If guns are the relevant metric to focus on, why not demonstrate how the five million members of the NRA have a higher murder rate than Japan? [More]
A "Progressive" Tax
Can the government seize your tax refund to pay a relative's debt? [More]Well, since the Constitution no longer matters, why would proscriptions against "corruption of blood" be an impediment?
And in Other News, Water is Wet
"...violent people cause violence.” [More]Fine and good, but his "there isn’t a constitutional amendment that says we have a right to have a car" assertion shows the guy needs to stick to his field of training.
Of more concern to me is why middle school students are being manipulated this way.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
When the only thing good you can say about her is she's getting old, it's pretty evident the other two "qualities" are what matter. [More]
A Connecticut RINO is King Obama's Court
The hell with John McKinney and every other damn gun-grabbing "Republican" including that opportunistic quisling Boughton. [More]
If you vote for them anyway, what incentive do they have to field candidates worth supporting?

A Proud and Vocal Liberal
What's a little conflict of interest among friends? [More]
Besides, what's the use of having political power if you can't use the force of government to crush people you -- and your masters -- hate?

If Only They Would Disarm You and Me
Weekend Violence Leaves Four Dead, 37 Wounded [More]Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
And Remember, with "Progressives," Every Day is Opposite Day
That must be why this announcement was made in the "Voices" column. [More]
In fairness, I disallow certain comments here, especially anonymous personal attacks and obvious trolls. I would not say something from the shadows that I would not say to a man's face. My blog, my standards. Feel free to do your own thing if that ain't satisfactory, and don't forget to ask for all your money back.

Reports of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
That's why the term "post mortem" may be premature. [More]
I keep thinking this the more likely scene, as the acknowledgment "this is far from over" recognizances.

Obama's Big "But"
The President strongly believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. But... [More]What liars.
Still, as sickening and platitude-filled as this is, we need to understand it for simple self-protection.
And we also need to note something I keep harping on (without much effect, I fear), and that is our opponents make use of the potential of social media, and we cede that to them and ignore it to our own detriment.

Guilty Until Prove Innocent?
They would have to be proven constitutional under some form of heightened scrutiny. [More]Why? We're the ones who have to prove ourselves now?
How about instead, the burden gets placed on the government to demonstrate where in the Constitution they have the delegated power to even weigh in on the matter, perversions of the "Commerce clause" and other usurpations and tyrannical "precedents" aside?
I keep finding applications for Pynchon's maxim...

We're the Only Ones Backlogged Enough
Let's see, we have special rules that harass peaceable gun owners with delays that we can't keep up with and that facilitate noncompliance, so the "solution" is to harass them with even more delays and rules...? [More]
Y'know, that might just be bizarro enough to label "common sense."
As for gun sales "plummeting," all kinds of things besides a "new law" factor into when "law abiding" gun owners reckon they have enough -- and as for those who go outside "the system," be they outright "real criminals" or simply those who have had it with obeying tyrants, it's a combination of wishful thinking and a lie for the antis to assert they've got a valid handle on those numbers.
Which, of course, is what Prozis do...

We're the Only Ones Deal-Making Enough
As a part of the plea deal, the indictment against Emmert was dismissed and he avoided trial on felony charges of possession of an unregistered machine gun and possession of a machine gun. [More]I'm sure Wayne Fincher will be happy to hear that "law enforcement" gets special treatment. Even after they udderly discredit themselves.

This Day in History: April 14
I cannot but hope the State Troops destined for the defence of your frontier will have arrived before the first of May because Under whatever circumstances you may be it will be impossible for me at that time, consistent with the general arrangements, to afford any further aid of Continental Troops.
