A Searching Question

More young people should be stopped and searched to help tackle knife and gun crime, a leading black police representative says.

See, we...um...can't really talk about demographics here because then we'd be...uh...intolerant, and we can't really point out where the majority of...I'm not going too far, am I? Anyway, if we include all "young people" it makes it look like we're not singling out any one group, even though...

I've probably said too much already. No one here is interested in elephants.

Anyway, how about those BET honorees? No justice, no peace, 'n all that.

Sticking it to 7-Year-Olds With Zero Tolerance

A single mother said the school district overreacted by suspending her 7-year-old son for drawing a smiling stick figure shooting another smiling stick figure with a gun.

The Diversity and Tolerance Arbiters strike again.

Note how it was another citizen Nazi who got the ball rolling on this.

And don't you just love the "self-inflicted wounds" comment posted at the bottom by democrat defender "JR"?

This Day in History: October 21

Not only had the Sons of Liberty accosted Gilbert on that same road the previous year in an attempt to prevent him from accepting the post of sheriff for Bristol County, but they had also had committed the ultimate act of sedition on October 21, 1774. The Sons had erected a 112-foot high "Liberty Pole" on Taunton Green that day, opposite his majesty King George's courthouse, raised an American flag proclaiming "Liberty and Union," and pledged "to resist, even unto blood" attempts to restore the laws of England. This was the first open and organized demonstration of rebellion against the British Crown in the colonies.

"We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us"*

"I would like to thank the local residents who had the foresight to bring this collection to our attention, and the owner for his full co-operation."

The total subjugation of UK liberty is damn near complete, as the sheep themselves have been conditioned to demand stronger pens. And we're not that far behind as evidenced by the evil neighbor on our side of the pond who turned in the little girl making sidewalk chalk drawings.

Yeah, I know we're all sinners, but it really does seem like their ought to be a special room in hell for these traitors to humanity.

Paul Harris, "Authorized Journalist"

A gun in a US home is 22 times more likely to be used in an accidental shooting, a murder or a suicide than in self-defence against an attack.

Nice manipulation, Paul Harris. This is a total misrepresentation of conclusions by anti-gun researcher Arthur L. Kellermann. Here's what his findings actually stated:

For every case of self-protection homicide involving a firearm kept in the home, there were 1.3 accidental deaths, 4.6 criminal homicides, and 37 suicides involving firearms.

There's a vast gulf of possibile outcomes between a DGU, which does not require a shot even being fired, and a "self-protection homicide," but the agenda-driven Paul Harris won't let his readers know that.

Tell me, Paul--when you set out to become an "authorized journalist," did you have your heart set on specializing in propaganda?

We're the Only Ones (Hic) Violating Gun Bans Enough

A policeman was detained at the police precinct in barangay Parian, Cebu City for being drunk and for violating the Commission on Elections (Comelec) gun ban in barangay Kamagayan on Thursday morning.

That's why only "The Super Exclusive Only Ones" are "automatically exempted from the ban."

Gun, Drugs Found Stashed at Katy School

Maybe they should put up signs...

Supply and Demand

The monster, sitting in a cage in back of his gun store and shooting range in Lawrenceville, can cut down a tree — and could easily fetch $30,000 in a perfectly legal sale. But for Powell, the sale would be the equivalent of hawking a Picasso or vintage wine.

The gun increases in value exponentially each year.

That is because it is the law — not the manufacturing costs — that drive the price. The federal government has outlawed the manufacture of machine guns for the civilian market in the United States since 1986. Only machine guns that were legally owned by civilians before that year can be sold privately.

Unless, of course, you're an "Only One."

If this isn't a blatant conspiracy to deny Americans their right to own militia-suitable firearms, I don't know what is.

And we talk about pitching gun owner against gun owner--why would these privileged elites--the very ones with the resources to finance Second Amendment challenges without batting an eye--want to let us hoi polloi into their exclusive club--and watch their investments devalue?

How this evident discriminatory result isn't an equal protection violation is also something I don't understand.

UPDATE: Brutus reminds me not to over-generalize and I agree there are exceptions. I'm not confident in how widespread they are, though.

The Second Amendment Works

Chris Horton shows us how.

This Day in History: October 20

The committee meeting with Washington about the Army agrees that the forces should be supplied with provisions by the New England colonies. Washington is given the authority to impress wagons, vessels, horses, and other necessary items.

Recall Joaquin Jackson Blog Update

They're he...ere.

My read: Unless and until they see this gather momentum, they'll ignore it and let their supporters carry their standard on the forums. Not until it looks like they'll be forced to incur expense to implement a recall will we see any move toward preemptive resignation. And I would expect all submitted petitions to be scrutinized for technicalities that could be used to reject them.

Buckling Down Under

A man in a bank building, wearing a belt buckle shaped like a small gun, has sparked a security alert involving police in bullet-proof jackets in Adelaide.

If the buckle in question is what's on the hood of the car in the accompanying photo, I kind of understand why Aussies unused to seeing armed citizens would have a heart attack.

I do remember as a kid I always thought Yancy Derringer's buckle rig was pretty slick, and I sure hope nobody tells ebay (which is why I'm not including a link) that somebody is selling this cool girl's fashion accessory on their site:

I remember reading about a Nazi officer's belt buckle gun some years ago in one of the gun mags--it was apparently designed to spring open and fire hands-free into the belly of someone standing in front of the wearer--presumably to escape being taken prisoner. I recall the writer took a self-righteous tone and wondered at the mentality that would produce such a weapon, and remember thinking that was a hell of an attitude to take against a tool that could very well be morally deployed by someone interested only in defense.

I want one of those concealed spring-release wrist derringers James T. West had, too.

Do "Gun-Free" Zones Encourage School Shootings?

According to Wayne, no. No they do not. And anyone in the NRA hierarchy who suggests otherwise will be shut down.

He further states "We believe America's schools should be as safe as America's [pre-9/11] airports."

We're the Only Ones DUI Enough

Aguilera was driving off-duty and uninsured in his Ford Mustang when he struck 26-year-old Mark Streech's motorcycle from behind...Aguilera was traveling at least 61 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone...The accident report indicated that Aguilera had been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash...

Streech lost his leg and is confined to a wheelchair due to the accident.

So my question is, had he been out drinking and did he have his gun with him, and if so, why charges weren't filed for that? Just asking, because I note past opposition by "The Only Ones" to mere citizens being able to defend themselves in restaurants and establishments where alcohol is served. And like the County Attorney said:

"Law enforcement personnel are as subject to our laws as anybody else."

Right?

The Mechanism of Death

As she holds her mechanism of death in her hands, Katz should understand the responsibility she takes on.

For no longer would she be Shirley Katz, English teacher, but Shirley Katz, killer of a fellow human being.

Not necessarily. If you had a clue about the subject on which you babble, you'd know most DGUs don't even result in shots being fired (15.6% per Kleck/Gertz, but that's assuming we intend to ground our opinions in reality.

If she listens to you and the situation arises, she may very well end up Shirley Katz, corpse. As might any number of her charges she could have otherwise protected.

And this fool speaks to us of "powerlessness."

So, "Mr." Unknown Editorialist: How does it feel to be contemptible, you despicable coward, you weakling?

This Day in History: October 19

The surrender of Yorktown ended the fighting in the War for American Independence, except for some minor fighting that continued in the south, and other battles that still went on overseas. Losses on both sides were light: British and Hessian 156 killed and 326 wounded; French, 52 killed and 134 wounded; American, 20 killed and 56 wounded.

Crackdown Smackdown

LEGALLY held firearms will be seized and destroyed by police if licences are not renewed on time, the PSNI in north Antrim has warned.

Hmmm...

Are You Sure You Don't Mean "Oblivious"?

Trolley Square survivor calls need for tighter gun laws
'obvious'...

Obviously.

And the fact that you were helpless--and saved by another man with a gun--is obviously of no relevance.

It's hard to feel sorry for some people--at least the ones who demand imposing their despicable abdication of responsibility for self defense on the rest of us--under force of arms. While planting daffodils outside a police station...

Good Lord.
