AP Wakes Up

Federal agents seized inventory and paperwork in a raid of a gun parts manufacturing company here last week, the company's owner said.

Nice to see the "authorized journalists" finally getting around to noticing this story...

Officer Fires Gun at Charging Vehicle

Perhaps he got too close to its cubs?

Is There a Gun Where Your Child Plays?

You dang betcha.

And they've shot every one they're big enough to handle safely. It seems to educate them a lot better than adopting a policy of avoidance, denial and "adult"-induced phobia.

Any other questions, Dr. Pollack?

Newsflash: Marches Ineffective at Stopping "Gun Violence"

Just as yesterday's Stop the Violence walk was getting underway downtown, a man in his early twenties was shot with a handgun three times in the right arm and once in the upper chest in the Sheppard Ave. E. and Neilson Rd. area.

Well that didn't work...maybe it's time to try a candlelight vigil or a "gun buyback"?

We're the Only Ones--Wanna Fight About It?

Another one of the only ones who gets the kid glove treatment. Where would I be after repeatedly entering bars with a gun and starting fights?

Looks like Blognomicon is starting his own Only Ones archive.

This Day in History: June 19

On this day in 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor as a symbol of Franco-American friendship.

Nine years late, the 300-foot statue was a gift from the people of France, who had been the Patriots’ primary foreign ally in the War for Independence, to those of United States as a celebration of the Declaration of Independence’s centenary in 1876.

What Are the Odds?

One in 10 Britons have been affected by gun crime in the past five years, or know someone else who has been, a survey has found.

And the antis use this shameful statistic as justification for disarming the law-abiding even more?

Still, I wouldn't be surprised to find it's one of those fudged statistics, with "Britons" from some demographics experiencing a much higher rate than that, and then averaging things out to demographics that experience almost no violent crime...

Happy Father's Day 2006

Yeah, that's about what it's like...

Gun Owner Fights Back

A Baton Rouge man has filed a civil rights lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Gonzales Police Department, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office and five Gonzales police officers.

In the lawsuit, Mark Edward Marchiafava claims he was the victim of false arrest, false imprisonment, assault and battery and unlawful seizure of property.

I understand he's been fighting this battle by himself with no help from any of the "gun groups." I guess that's because Mr. Marchiafava believes the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and has acted on that belief. If more individuals did that, the status quo would be turned on its ear.

Nicki has been blogging about this case, and you there has been some discussion over at KABA about it.

I'll be taking Nicki's lead for updates and any requests for assistance--financial or otherwise.

"Reefer Madness for Guns"

Again, I need to reiterate that this movie is intended to be serious, but its fanatical, shriekingly-obvious anti-gun stance merely makes it ludicrous instead. If you're a fan of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, you'll appreciate just how appallingly bad Bill's Gun Shop is.

Debra at Wolfesblog has written such an entertaining review, I may just break down and rent me some Nazi propaganda.

We're the Only Ones Captivating Enough

A police officer was charged Friday with aggravated kidnapping after being accused of handcuffing a woman and sexually assaulting her.

So...was it good for you?

This Day in History: June 18

On this day in 1778, after almost nine months of occupation, 15,000 British troops under General Sir Henry Clinton evacuate Philadelphia, the former U.S. capital.

I hardly think the current occupiers are any better...

THAT'LL Teach Him...

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has revoked the concealed weapons license of a retired sheriff's captain who waged a fiery but unsuccessful campaign to unseat him in last week's election, a move the candidate's lawyer called "blatant retaliation"...

"This has nothing to do with retaliation or curbing one's democratic right to freedom of speech. This has to do with misusing department data and mechanisms"...

Ordinarily, I'd make some comment about permitting rights and abuse of power, but Larry Waldie has proven to be an unapologetic police statist, so I can't really get too worked up over what he perceives as an injustice done to him.

UPDATE: I made a big goof in this post. See comments for details.

We're the...Hey, Teresa, Is This Yours...?

When two escapees from the DC Jail were still on the loose, police raided a home on W street Northwest. They didn't find the suspects. But in that home, they found a gun that looked awfully familiar.

It was a Glock 17, reported stolen earlier this year by DC police Lt. Teresa Brown in the Fourth District. And guess where the gun was reported stolen from? The Fourth District police station.

Honest, I don't set out each morning looking for these stories, I just kind of trip over them while out foraging for material...

We're the Only Ones Asleep at the Wheel Enough

I can't help but visualize walking up to this guy's window and popping a balloon...

I got this story from Reason Engaged, who asked if I minded him also using "the only ones" as a recurring theme. My reply:

I’m not the originator of that phrase, Lee Paige, the goofball DEA agent who shot himself in front of a classroom of children is.

My goal is to get information out so people start to think for themselves—make their own connections—have the first thought in their minds when they read stories of LEO abuse/incompetence be an “only ones” connection—because I think it is a simple and powerful tool to combat the “only the police military should have these types of firearms” lies spread by the antis and their MSM co-conspirators.

So, yeah, go for it—I’m delighted to see it spread. I’ll do some sort of post to let WarOnGuns readers know I support your efforts.

We're the Only Ones Rank Enough

Suchand Bachan says that the rank who shot him while he was on a visit to the Enmore Police Station had pointed his weapon directly at him...

Reports are that the policeman was cleaning his gun when it accidentally went off and shot Bachan in the lower abdomen...

"That particular policeman is always playing with a gun," the father said.

Just don't forget that he's the only one competent to do so.

If Wishes Were Fishes...

"If we could get the violence to stop, we could have an anti-gun-violence celebration."

Yes, someone who considers himself a "grown man" said that.

I'd like to send Commissioner Paul Mayhue a My Little Pony to play with. He could brush it's mane, and talk to it, and have a tea party with all his other dolls and stuffed animals.

In related news, he made another idiotic statement:

"It's reflective of long, hot summers. We don't need long, hot summers here."

Now there's an ambitious government program for you: Weather control!

Correcting the Record

Cam did just admit on air (6/16) that he missed that part of the article and would of confronted him on it if had read it.

We're still anxiously awaiting word on whether or not Mr. Confer has been "swayed."

This Day in History: June 17

British General William Howe lands his troops on the Charlestown Peninsula overlooking Boston, Massachusetts, and leads them against Breed's Hill, a fortified American position just below Bunker Hill, on this day in 1775.

Hugo Gets His Gun...

After all, he is one of The Only Ones...

This looks like a Brady dream come true.
