The Heir of Liberty

[Via Nicki's Asylum]

Another Meaningless Poll

Sorry, but we don't have enough information to justify either the question or these results. This reflects nothing so much as wishful thinking.

Just like last time.

PSYCHO-Analysis

"The dissent in the Rybar case reflects a passive-aggressive approach to judicial review...

So the headcases who blame innimate objects at Coalition to Stop Gun Violence think they're qualified to offer a mental diagnosis of Judge Alito's ruling?

Perhaps we ought to give their professional opinion the consideration it's worth.

Thank You...

...to Cryptic Subterranean and Many of Whom Are Insane for the kind words for WarOnGuns.

U2CAN B A U-seful Idiot

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and teens from UCAN joined forces to release the results of the 2005 UCAN Teen Gun Survey, a national survey of teen attitudes on gun violence...The survey also portrays that an overwhelming majority of teens (82.7%) feel that handguns should be childproofed like medicine bottles.

In a contradictory WarOnGuns study, 100% of the teens surveyed (sons Uday, 14, and Qusay, 11) feel that any teen who can't open a "childproofed medicine bottle" is a "tard", and offered to demonstrate how easily it can be done--from 100 yards.

No I Won't Back Down

Gonna stand my ground.

[Via SayUncle]

Former Cop Drops Suit Against Glock

Holland said his gun was disabled after it was hit by a bullet...

See, if they'd manufactured it on the planet Krypton, this wouldn't have happened.

Mayor Blames Rap for Gun Deaths

And here Sarah's been telling us the guns are to blame...

Just so we don't cast aspersions on individuals and the choices they make. We wouldn't want to be insensitive to anyone's self-esteem...

Tank Johnson Punished for Exercising His Right

Another account says he was ratted out by the valet at the Excalibur.

The webpage for their parent company, Aceplaces, looks pretty telling in re their view of guns.

Is Kilgore Making Peace With VCDL?

I thought they'd had a falling out.

In re the hysterics of the Bradys, we can have all the liquor we want at home--where by definition, most "domestic violence" takes place--right where we keep our "arsenals". Yet somehow, responsible gun owners--that is, the overwhelming super-majority--appear to have enough self-control to handle things.

But we're to believe that would all change the instant we walked into a restaurant that also serves drinks.

"Alito's Views Could Imperil Most Federal Gun, Ammo, and Explosives Laws"

Here's hoping...

Is BATFU Keeping Gun Transfer Records?

Jed has some questions that deserve answers.

It's Your Civic Duty

Stockpiling supplies and developing family response plans in case disaster strikes not only might save lives — it's also a civic duty, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.

What about weapons and ammo, Bender? Why the silence?

A Warning From the Past


READERS OF GUNS:
Take a good look at our Second Amendment. Good weapons keep men free; when you forget that, tyranny increases.
--From Southeastern Shooters Supply advertisement

The November 1955 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online.

Forrester Hit on Gun Control

Not hard enough, if you ask me.

If this weasel is the best the Republicans have to offer, they deserve to lose.

A Matter of Occupation

A state appellate panel Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that Asbury Park did not have the authority to allow Police Director Louis Jordan to wear a uniform, carry a gun and make arrests when he was hired in May 2002.

I wonder how many other unauthorized civilians he busted for carrying guns?

By making that distinction, I guess they're admitting their police represent a military occupation...

The Play's the Thing

And all the world's a stage.

"A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun" looks like it's so stupid even other liberals hate it.

"A Hapless Toad"

For John Roberts, it was a "hapless toad'' in the path of a California housing development that represented the limits of the federal government's power to regulate activities within a state. For Samuel Alito Jr., it was a machine gun.

"A Real Winner"?

Gun Owners of America is effusive in its praise of Samuel Alito.

Some are not so enamored. Mike B. has some concerns that merit scrutiny (3rd comment in linked post).

We need to proceed with caution and not automatically conclude the Supreme Court nominee is a Second Amendment hardliner.

I plead guilty to feeling some optimism, but my jaded nature cautions me to be wary of the hook. The political establishment is all about power and control. They never just give it up.

You're Either With Us or Against Us

"There isn't really any middle ground on this issue," State Police Director Larry Trent said at a news conference Tuesday. "You either stand with the gun lobby or you stand with law enforcement."

You're right, Larry. There can be no middle ground.
