"City officials are using new technology that recognizes the sound of a gunshot within a two-block radius, pinpoints the source, turns a surveillance camera toward the shooter and places a 911 call. Officials can then track the shooter and dispatch officers to the scene."
Sounds like a job for The Black Arrow.

Young Skulls Full of Mush
The Battle Creek Enquirer published " the winning entries in the Minority Health Partnership's 'Do the Write Thing' contest."
The topic was "ideas for ending gun violence."
Don't blame the kids. It's not their fault.

Banister Verdict Suppressed
Carl F. Worden has some observations about the lack of establishment media reporting of Joseph Banister's win in federal court against charges of conspiracy and defrauding the government.
This goes back to my point about the government assuming authority to decide who is and is not a "journalist."

Take a Dip in the Pool
Nicki advises me that she and some friends have started a new blog, the Constitution Death Pool.

Everybody Loves Big Brother
The cops, the citizens, the news team...
Watch the video and see for yourself.
Don't you think it's time you asked Big Brother to watch you?

How Do You Achieve a 44% Increase in "Gun Crime?
Tips from our friends across the pond...

A Beast of a Burden
Pennsylvania "authoritah" can't decide whether a crime of domestic violence occurred, and it has them in fits because they want to keep a man from owning a gun.
"State police spokesman Jack Lewis said the ruling places an increased burden on his agency when it wants to deny someone a gun because of a domestic violence conviction."
Oh, gee. Expecting the government to bear the burden of proof in a criminal case. What could we have been thinking?
Sorry, Jack. We'll get rid of that hurdle right away for you.

‘Last Gunshop’ Update
[Use BugMeNot to bypass registration.]
"The owner of the last gun shop in Minneapolis lost another zoning battle Thursday with the City Council, moving him toward closing his store."
Translation: “You are not authorized to use your property in a manner we disapprove of.”

“I Suspect No One and I Suspect Everyone”
“$46,950…was seized from Ileana Valdez, 26, after a security check at a metal detector at Logan International Airport…Anthony Pettigrew, a spokesman for the DEA in Boston, said he could not comment on the lawsuit. But he said federal asset forfeiture laws allow agents to seize suspected drug profits.”
What the hell--it's not like we really own anything or control what we're permitted to possess.

This Land Is Whoever’s Land We Say It Is
Nicki and Pathetic Earthling weigh in on Kelo.
I wish they wouldn’t mince words and would tell us how they really feel.
This will probably not be a tripwire, but it may be something better—the awakening and radicalization of previously detached property owners.
The monkey may have caught its fist in the jar.

The Propaganda Masquerading as Reporting Award…
…goes to Barbara Laker and Myung Oak Kim of The Philadelphia Daily News for claiming: “Because of weakened gun laws that give gun shops more freedom, these shops have escaped punishment from ATF, the federal agency that regulates the industry.”
I Guess He Must Not Know Any Democrats...
“Oregon Democratic Party executive director Neel Pender said he thought the resolution sounded ‘pretty reasonable.’
"‘I don't know any Democrats who don't have a healthy respect for the Second Amendment,’ Pender added.”

A Disarmed Opposition is a Loyal Opposition
"Left-wing MK Ran Cohen (Yahad) made a move to curb possible violence by settlers on Wednesday by proposing a bill that would force them to take an oath of allegiance to the state as a condition for being supplied with IDF weapons for security."
Hey, it's gotta be done...otherwise, folks would be "liable to act as if they were in the 'wild West' and undermine the legitimacy of the law enforcement."
Just think if this rule was applied in America's major urban areas, where only the politically connected, proven loyalists could get a gun permit...

How to Choose an Unarmed Victim--A Primer
Easy--just pick the guy in the Ranger uniform.
"Some staff are happier with not carrying a weapon and believe that if a situation requiring one occurs, police should be involved."
Which means there will be plenty of time for your getaway!
Happy fleecing!

What Did Mr. Franklin Say...
...about those who give up essential liberty for security?
A company operating out of Orlando Airport has found a way to make 'em sign up and pay for the privilege of being tagged as officially certified, card-carrying cud-chewers.
Pay 80 bucks, get your iris scanned and go stand in "an exclusive security line, and the promise of no random secondary pat-downs, in exchange for a background check by the Department of Homeland Security."
Why don't they just stamp your ribs with a "USDA Choice" imprint...?
