Penn and Neeson flops show audiences shunning anti-gun ‘geri-action’ heroes
Unknown is what effect Penn and Neeson running their mouths off in the press and alienating millions of potential movie-going gun owners has had on the willingness to spend hard-earned dollars enriching privileged belittlers of freedom. Both have made no secret of their contempt for guns and gun ownership, with the former maligning them as “cowardly killing machines” and the latter calling for UK-style gun bans in the U.S. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes enough may have caught on to these fraudulent stage props and decided there are other things they'd rather see than privileged statist hypocrites pretending to be champions of individual justice.

There Oughtta Be a Law
Since 2008, the federal government has finalized over 2500 regulations. Those regulations required over 500 million hours of paperwork hours, and ring in to the tune of almost 734 billion dollars in total cost. [More]And then there's the burden we are forced to bear on top of paying for the bureaucrats.

I would want to see what oversight policies are in place to make sure they know at all time who they're working for and only involve themselves when justified by a need to discourage life and property threats through presence, response and investigation.

Police officer charged with holding gun to man's head ... "These actions are not indicative of the high standards we expect of our officers." [More]Yeah, why couldn't that one bad apple been more like the barrel?

We're the Only Ones Limping Along Enough
We're the Only Ones Politically Incorrect Enough
In the text message exchanges, the former officers used racially derogatory terms to refer to people they encountered while on duty, included racially insensitive material from the film, "Django Unchained," and talked about getting drunk and "killing n*****," according to investigative documents. [More]Yeah, just what this country needs -- more idiot cops stoking race war embers.
They should have picked a more acceptable group to joke about shooting, like gun owners-- that would have guaranteed their bosses and their bosses would do nothing.

A "Progressive" Defense
"While we don't endorse her views, we do defend her right to say them," Jellinek said in a statement posted on his Facebook page.

Cities using work permit aliens to enforce gun edicts and laws against citizens
"[H]e worries about the security risks associated with allowing any immigrant with a work permit to become an officer, especially considering that the Obama administration has given hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants work permits."

Is James Bond Above Cooper’s Rules?
I will say, the way this one spread surprised me. Invariably, stories I consider important, like ones I break and major media claims as theirs a day or more later, yield mediocre readership returns, and the ones that are just quick asides, that don’t require much research or validation of exclusive information, seem to be the ones that spread. I can’t figure it out.
I’m not going to give a synopsis to explain each of the following responses. If you’re interested, what prompted them is over in the Facebook thread.
Tier two cigar. But a 90-rated tier two.
Yes, I’m well aware that old Bond posters and most of Hollywood’s portrayal of gun handling was and remains abysmal. In the old days, most people didn't know better. And that doesn't mean we should stand by now and let known gun-grabbers, who call themselves “gun safety advocates” these days, set bad examples – or at least not have fun calling them on being hypocrites. The sad truth is, a certain percentage of idiots play monkey-see/monkey-do and try to pose like that – you can find no shortage of photos on the internet, and I’m calling the antis out for not encouraging their “progressive” friends in Hollywood to realize that by “demanding,” which is what they do best, that they not promote flagrant rules violations -- "for the children" and "if it saves one life." (One point not in the Facebook discussion, but raised in article comments, is that "we have bigger fish to fry." No one said "we" didn't. That doesn't mean pointing stuff like this out will cause a multi-tasking overload, unless walking and chewing gun are also a challenge.)
As for Bond being "Tier 1," as I recall from reading the books many years ago, the PPK was forced on him by M, and his preferred gun of choice was a jamming-prone Beretta .25. I don’t for a second have reason to believe that was a consideration of the photographer and publicists behind the poster (and that seems borne out by those previous Bond posters). As for the wider argument that operators are above safety rules that apply to us mundanes, I have no specific knowledge of that and would like to see some corroboration from an official source. I’m admittedly not qualified to argue with someone’s superior training, and think the best course to take in debates like this is to produce documentation that others can independently validate.
