We're the Only Ones Driving Enough

Two police officers patrolling the beach in an SUV ran over and killed a sunbather Monday, authorities said.

The officers did not immediately realize they ran over the woman and continued driving...
Oh, yes--here's the kicker we all knew was coming--after all, they are The Only Ones:
The officers have been placed on paid leave pending an investigation.

We're the Only Ones Thorough Enough

Jimmy Coney had [the gun] in his waistband, but...Corrections Officer Michael Venit failed to find it during a search...Officer Venit was suspended for one-day for neglecting his job duties.
Whoa, one day? Don't you think you guys are being a little heavy-handed? After all, he is one of The Only Ones...

Going UP...

Violent crime, that is.

Here:
Murders jumped...from 330 to 377 in Philadelphia, a 14 percent rise...
and here:
He said...Richmond, Va., [has] also seen significant and even record increases in violent crime.
But...but...but...

Where's Alan?


Here's the NRA statement on the legal defeat of the San Francisco handgun ban:
This ruling supports the premise of NRA's argument.

The NRA filed it's lawsuit soon after Proposition H passed...

The NRA is determined not to see this gross injustice happen again...
Meanwhile, true to form, here's the statement from SAF:
“We’re proud to have worked once again with the National Rifle Association..."
Once again, SAF shares credit and NRA claims it all for themselves.

Why
does this
keep happening?

This Day in History: June 13

On this day in 1777, a 19-year-old French aristocrat, Marie-Joseph Paul Roch Yves Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, arrives in South Carolina with the intent to serve as General George Washington’s second-in-command.

Have Gun, Will Pistol Whip

Eminem has signed on to star in the big screen adaptation of the CBS series Have Gun - Will Travel for Paramount Pictures and Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films.
Leave it to Hollywood to screw up a classic.

I'm surprised the studio armorers can provide a gun to him without running afoul of the "prohibited persons" clause...

Wearing Down the Right

"If these ordinances are passed by the City Council, I'll have to file a lawsuit or I'll be out of business," said Frank Caso, owner of Caso's Gun-O-Rama...
That's the point, Mr. Caso.

And your enemies have unlimited resources.

If you do manage somehow to prevail this time, they'll be back with a renewed attack against another flank.

Jackals know when their prey is surrounded and has nowhere else to go.

This Day in History: June 12

On this day in 1776, the Virginia Convention, assembled in Williamsburg, unanimously adopts George Mason’s declaration of rights.

"What Worries Me is How Easy it is to Get a Gun These Days."

Sure, it always has been if you don't let little things like "the law" get in your way. Try getting one legally in the UK, and then come back and tell us all how easy it is.

Hoplophobes Protest Indoor Gun Range

Mrs. Standish said she feared the business would attract lawbreakers to what is now a residential area.
More equating gun owners with criminals by enuretics who obviously have no experience with either...

New Jersey Needs "Bullet Control"

Ennis held a cheap box of 9mm bullets, similar to the one that killed his brother...
I'm sure everyone means "cartridges" or "ammunition," but whatever. More killer Bockwurst to blame.

“There's no way I should have been able to go to a gun store without a permit, without any sort of registration, I was able to walk out of there with a box of bullets,” he said.
Ah, yes. Registration. Part of the "final solution."

Ennis, pastor of In His Presence Worship Center on Broad Street, said he is starting a petition to call for legislation that would further regulate the purchase of bullets.
You wouldn't be funding political activities with tax-deductible contributions, would you, "Reverend"?

We're the Only Ones Abreast of the Situation

One report said a grandmother complained that the topless woman became "loud and disorderly" after she told the woman to cover up. Another camper told authorities the woman became belligerent when confronted.

In both instances, the topless woman said she was a law officer, according to the reports.
So where did she pin her badge...?

UK Council Demands Tree Control

Council officials have written to the chamber of trade saying the trees are a potential hazard because their sharp leaves could cause injuries to eyes or faces.
And we all know free-willed sovereign individuals are just too stupid and inept to coexist with trees without government edicts to guide them.

Orlando Sentinel's Lying Headline

Gun law triggers at least 13 shootings
That's one hell of a claim. Too bad not one of their anecdotes substantiates the inflammatory charge that Florida's new "stand your ground" law had anything to do with the decision by the people involved to discharge their weapons.

In fact, the story's lead paragraph belies the sensational headline:
Michael Brady didn't think about his rights when he shot and killed a stranger in his front yard. He says he was just scared.
That sounds about right.

The most egregious example cited in the article, unsurprisingly, involves one of The Only Ones, who had been drinking and used his department-issued firearm. So naturally, the antis spin this as a reason why everybody else shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves.

This Day in History: June 11

On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress selects Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut and Robert R. Livingston of New York to draft a declaration of independence.

We're the Only Ones With This Kind of Money to Waste: Yours

For at least the past two years, 100 military surplus M-16 rifles have been gathering dust in the Dallas County Sheriff's Department armory.
Leave it to "The Only Ones" to squander their loot--that is, "taxpayer money"--on something they say they desperately need and then not only don't use but forget about. For years.

Besides which, why would we want the police using a "justifiably maligned" weapon that, according to a self-designated Second Amendment Lite spokesman, is only good "for killing of human beings and the damage of war equipment and facilities"?

We're the Only...Where Did He Go...?

A motorcyclist-riding gunman twice eluded police in North Hollywood remained at large.
But don't worry--"The Only Ones" will protect you from him--once they catch him.

In the meantime, you're on your own.

Disarmed by law if you share a street with the blasting biker, and on your own.

One other minor point: A "motorcyclist-riding gunman"? Well, it is North Hollywood...

Deadly Assault Sausage Murders German Woman

The prosecutors said the man had given a patchy account of events, acknowledging that he may have "administered" a Bockwurst to the woman.
Just unbelievable. People find ways to kill each other with sausage!

What law do you think could have prevented this? And why is the media blaming the man instead of the Bockwurst?
