What, No NICS OK?

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 Born to Be Wild Enough

When Prescott police started to investigate, they quickly learned it was a law-enforcement club, and that the alleged attackers were off-duty police officers.  [Read]

We're the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough

After seeing the video in court, Groubert's attorney, former Fifth Circuit Solicitor Barney Geise, says that his client is not guilty and is looking forward to his day in court. [More]

Hey, it was standard protocol, he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift, try walking a mile in his shoes, why don't you cop-bashers call someone else next time you need to be saved, and God bless our community heroes.

We're the Only Ones Spicing Up Our Lives Enough

An enraged cop has been stripped of his gun and badge, accused of luring a fellow officer to a Harlem corner and pepper-spraying him in the face. [More]

That's the old pepper!*

Somehow or other, I know in my heart we gun owners need to be held accountable for badge-on-badge crime, too.

The Bigger Picture

Every indicator I've seen says Fast and Furious was just one component of a foreign and domestic policy agenda. Some day, the official players and the truth will be known. I'd like to think it will be in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath.  My guess is this will be a job for historians, not "journalists." [More]

"Botched sting" my...

We're the Only Ones Fender-Bending Enough

Well in fairness, the antis did warn us this would happen... [Watch]

A good portion of the comment posters certainly are "Authoritah" bootlickers.

And yeah, I know this one is almost a year old, but I haven't seen it before.

We're the only Ones Taking Matters Into Our Own Hands Enough

The only reason I can think of for no charges is it was standard department protocol... [More]
