Tre Crips say 'Turn in those guns'

You'll never guess who's endorsing a gun "buyback."

File this one under "Good grief."

Here's today's Gun Rights Examiner column.

We're the Only Ones Petitioning Enough

Dolton inspector general Robert Shaw was attacked on the street Saturday by a Cook County corrections officer circulating nominating petitions for Shaw's political foe, police said.

Now wait a minute--we're talking Cook County "Only Ones" here.

What is the problem?

We're the Only Ones P***ing You Off Enough.

All we ever hear from those on the left is how police are the 'Only Ones' that should be able to have firearms. Because they are the 'only ones' who have the correct 'training' and correct 'temperament'. And apparently because they are the 'only ones' with the skills to rape a woman with a foreign object.

Michael Dukes shares some thoughts on fluid tactical situations...

Just so you know who owns your urethra...

We're the Only Ones Roguish Enough

Left unchecked by his State Health Department bosses, a supervising narcotics investigator with a yen for addictive fentanyl lollipops took over a New York City narcotics control office, abused suspects’ rights and endangered lives, the New York State inspector general has found...

It said he had once fired his gun accidentally after delivering a prisoner to a city jail, never reporting the incident.

It also said that he had falsified his credentials and was essentially unqualified for the job.

Now I don't know about that. If you spend much time going through the "Only Ones" files, you might get the idea he fits right in...

Guns for What?

...President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday that gun-owning Americans do not need to rush out and stock up before he is sworn in next month.

Or, as another ""community organizer is reputed to have asked*:

Armas para que ?

Obama Doesn't Get It

Not to be contrary, but I think he does.

Flatware Follies

Les K tell us his friend took the picture of the sign we talked about yesterday.

This Day in History: December 9

Great Bridge...was the key point on the only land route providing access to Norfolk. Lord Dunmore built a small wooden fort there in a strong defensive position. Lacking a cannon, Colonel William Woodford 's Virginia forces hesitated to attack. Thinking that North Carolina reinforcements were on their way, the British left their strong position and attacked. The battle lasted 30 minutes.

We Still Have Recourse Through the Courts

No we don't.

Look, I don't know the truth of this Obama birth certificate matter.

On the one hand, you have the smartasses sneering "tinfoil hats." Sorry, but that's not an argument and it doesn't serve well the cause of those who offer it.

On the other hand, you have people with all sorts of versions, some appearing at least plausible, others fantastic. Sorry, but that's not proof.

It seems the simplest thing would be to just produce incontrovertible evidence for expert examination by all sides. And no, what we've seen so far is not.

This avoidance does nothing to increase confidence in government or diminish distrust. All it does is widen the divide and fuel the conspiracy theories even more--from both sides, including the one that of course BO can prove it, but by not doing so he can draw out making his political enemies look like fools.

It seems a simple enough question to deserve a straight answer for.

'Gun Control'? One Jewish Group Says 'Never Again!'

On Friday we discussed the anti-gun efforts of the National Council of Jewish Women, a group that claims to be "inspired by Jewish values."

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership would disagree.

Funniest Dang Thing...

This lends it credence.

Ignoring Gun Owners

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin was recently on PBS, and made the ludicrous claim that the Heller decision somehow has something to do with tanks and SAMs. Toobin went on to say that gun control wasn't an issue for voters this year, because "swing voters don't care about it".

That, along with the "Republicans weren't moderate enough" lie are the two big delusions being pushed.

Perhaps it will result in overconfidence, and too much will be reached for too soon.

Regardless, some of us are through obeying.

The Wrong Hands

One man brought in a Soviet-era semiautomatic carbine.

"If that got into the wrong hands of gangbangers, they could kill several people within minutes," Woods said.

Good grief.

I guess taking advantage of poor people who live in dangerous neighborhoods is one way to disarm them and ensure gang supremacy. But along with, or perhaps in lieu of the food card, they ought to be passing out some guarantees .

Perhaps that's a tack to take with these gun "buybacks". The following could be printed out:


It would be funny to see what they'd say. You don't think their refusal to sign this would indicate anything, do you?

What Happened at the Co-Op?

An Ohio Department of Agriculture agent seized food, electronic devices and documents from a Pittsfield Township organic and natural food cooperative believed to be unlicensed, according to a search warrant filed yesterday in Lorain County Common Pleas Court.

I've been following Internet accounts of this over the weekend and haven't been able to verify what went down.

Some accounts are reporting a SWAT raid.

I haven't been able to confirm this, so I've been hesitant to comment. It would not surprise me to learn the "Authorized Journalists" have once more failed at government watchdoggery, but at this point not enough is known to make a judgment. Just like it would not surprise me to see organic food distributors treated like homegrown terrorists.

We're the Only Ones Still Clouded Enough

It's unclear whether Anthony Abbate, the officer charged in the beating, will stand trial...

What's to plea? They've got the animal attack documented on tape.

"I have to think it is important to get past (the case)...

Yeah, that's what the Boundary Country prosecutor said about Lon Horiuchi...

Chicago officials already have set about to change the police department's image...

Ah yes. Change the image.

Hog butcher for the world "Only Ones."

Forget it Jake. It's Chi-Town.

If Each of Us Carried a Gun

For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed the myth of “gun control”. India had some of the strictest firearms laws in the world...

Some of you have pointed out the Gandhi quote at the end of this column. I've been hesitant to emphasize it only because my understanding is he was advocating government, not private arms. If anyone can document differently, I'd appreciate the education.

Incidentally, my take on Mumbai will be out in a few months--I submitted a piece to GUNS Magazine at the beginning of the month.

This Day in History: December 8

Beginning on this day in 1775, Colonel Benedict Arnold and General Richard Montgomery lead an American force in the siege of Quebec. The Americans hoped to capture the British-occupied city and with it win support for the American cause in Canada.

We're the Only Ones Dealing with Medical Issues Enough

Police sealed off a Braintree neighborhood for more than an hour when an armed Boston police captain dealing with “medical issues” barricaded herself in her home.

Huh, The second "Only One" standoff this week.

Perhaps being more trustworthy than the rest of us is too much of a strain...still, I'm glad she was who she was. Otherwise, this could have ended in tragedy.

Like a Virgin

"It's outrageous," Sharon Akabas of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University, told the New York Daily News. "What's next? Are we going to start taking guns out to some of these remote places and ask them which one they like better?"

That's not a bad idea, there, Sharon.

Then they might be able to keep collectivist tyrants from ruling them.

I remember cheering about Romania at this time of year not so long ago. One of the best Christmas present ever, when Nicolae and Elena got their recommended daily allowance of both lead and justice.
