ASSAULT RIFLE BAN WOULD ENHANCE RIGHTS OF BATTLEFIELD RE-ENACTORS [More]

Ready? Repeat after me:

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

They don't even try to hide it any more, do they?

Ray? Mike Here. Hey, Could You Send Some of Your Guys Down Here to Shut Up Some Damn Crazy Woman Screaming Outside?

A silent lunatic attacked a female jogger in broad daylight on Sunday, beating her senseless just steps away from Gracie Mansion, cops said.

Fortunately, Furious Mike, who has around-the-clock taxpayer-funded armed security, was uninjured. He won't live in such a dangerous neighborhood anyway.

We're NOT the Only Ones Good Enough

Old Gun Conviction Disrupts Afghanistan Combat Vet's Dream of Joining NY Police [More]

Look at the bright side, pal--this'll keep you from doing to some other poor guy what happened to you, which is one of the priority functions of Bloomberg's "Only Ones."

We're the Only Ones Murdering the Helpless Enough

A BART police officer struggling to handcuff a 22-year-old man stood up over the facedown Hayward resident and fired a single shot into his back while a handful of officers watched, a video taken by a train passenger apparently shows. [More]

See the video here.

No wonder the Bay Area wants only the "Only Ones" to be armed.

And what the hell is with Chief Gary Gee "declined to identify the officer"?

FIVE DAYS AFTER THE SHOOTING...?

Do you think that would be an issue if one of us had shot a cuffed cop in the back? We deserve to know if there is anyone either so evil or so incompetent running loose among us simply as a matter of public safety.

You can tell Chief Gee that at: ggee@bart.gov

We're the Only Ones Saving Money and Living Better Enough

A 71-year-old greeter at the Wal-Mart in Collegedale says Chattanooga Police Det. Kenneth Freeman shoved him to the floor after he tried to stop him for a receipts check...

Collegedale Police declined to charge Det. Freeman, who is 48, with assault. [More]

Well naturally. Do you think they would have declined had it been the greeter assaulting the "Only One"?

Come to think of it, had it been anyone else who set off the alarm, do you think the contents of his bag would have been checked?

We're the Only Ones Towed Enough

A Brainerd businessman who owns three buildings near the controversial Deep Blue club said an off duty Chattanooga Police officer came out of the club when his car was being towed and pulled a gun on the tow truck driver.

Jeff Whitley said the officer approached him with the gun and "got in my face numerous times until he finally was told by other officers to go home." [More]

Do you think if the driver had pulled a gun on the "Only One" that his cop buddies would have told Whitley to go home?

Sutter Sputters

But yesterday, the state's top judge signaled that Sutter may have overstepped his authority by using a law designed to hold dangerous defendants in domestic violence cases against anyone arrested for illegally carrying a gun. [More]

Good.

We're the Only Ones Hiring Enough

Despite a bleak economic environment featuring wide-ranging layoffs and rising unemployment, the nation's premier law enforcement agency is touting "one of the largest hiring blitzes in our 100-year history." [More]

Well, uh, yeah. It's all part of the prescription.

Plus, we need somebody to rein in those nasty ol' "Homegrown Terrorists."

Not that I'd encourage anyone to download applications from them or BATFU and send in fake ones to make 'em waste resources...there's probably some law against doing that anyway...

Who Will Defend You?

Gun rights advocates have long known that it isn't possible to rely on the police for protection from violent crime. The sad reality is that the police are often reduced to being armed historians, there only to investigate a crime after it has been committed. [More]

Here's today's Cleveland Gun Rights Examiner column by Daniel White.

This Day in History: January 6

After two significant victories over the British in Trenton and Princeton, New Jersey, General George Washington marches north to Morristown, New Jersey, where he set up winter headquarters for himself and the men of the Continental Army on this day in 1777. [More]

Gun Talk

Here's the conversation I had yesterday with Tom Gresham...[More]

I was feeling under the weather and was wondering if I'd come across totally muddle-headed...Fortunately, he had a full lineup, so my segment was only half-an-hour, and I think I managed to avoid losing it completely on-air, but you'll be the judge of that...

I have my Examiner.com column and all my posts done for today, sent in my new GUNS Magazine article, and I'm just going to take it real easy for the rest of today. Right after I help my parents get to the airport....

Holder: 'To-Be' or Not to Be

Hearings are starting on president-elect Barack Obama's cabinet selections. Of particular interest to gun owners:

U.S. Attorney General to-be Eric Holder will be before the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 15th. [More]

This is another call to arms, like yesterday's with the RNC (which I also include an update on).

So I'm once again asking you to share today's Gun Rights Examiner column with your friends. And to take action.

Will you?

We're the Only Ones Frightened Enough

THE NSW Police Force will spend about $2 million on a virtual reality shooting range as senior officers blame a lack of training for recruits being frightened of firearms. [More]

Just the "Only Ones" needed to protect society from the big, bad, scary criminals...

Good grief.

We're the Only Ones Inshallah Enough

Hamas police keep a close eye on the activities of those operating the tunnels to prevent the entry of drugs or arms, the latter being brought in through special underground routes managed by armed Palestinian groups. [More]

That Middle East gun control works almost as good as it does in Chi-Town. We ought to have peace in no time, now...

I guess the basic difference between Sarah Brady Paradise and Hamas "Only Ones" Paradise is the 72 virgins...?

Newark, UK

Some business owners in this crime-plagued city say recent enforcement of a decades-old ordinance prohibiting some types of barbed wire and razor wire is making Newark more attractive — to thieves. [More]
