Round Up 'Hate Speech' Promoters?

Why is it your "Final Solution"...I mean, "Last Roundup" to oppose neo-Nazism sounds just like something the Nazis would do, Bonnie? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner...y'know, this one is just unbelievable. Honest to God, it's like some people want to start a civil war. Either that or she's just a stupid b****.

Just go read it.

Also learn about a sheriff in Oregon who refuses a newspaper's request for disclosing information on permit holders, learn which gun show some Nevada friends will be attending, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Weekends are typically slower traffic days, so I'd appreciate it if you passed this column's link along and helped get it wider readership.

What's Brown and Stinks?

The chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party is asking local officials to take action to keep guns out of parks and restaurants. [More]
All guns, or just the ones owned by people who obey citizen disarmament edicts?

Maybe Jeff Brown could clarify if he's seriously this full of peristaltic extrusions or if he knows damn well what the score is and just wants to get his name in the paper?

Why not email info@hamdems.org and ask.

Just be sure to wash your hands after any contact. And leave the fan on.

Coyote Ugly

A Haverhill woman says she had a harrowing brush with the wild, when she was surrounded by coyotes while walking her dogs in a wooded area. [More]
That's what happens when we forget our place in the food chain.

Hey, at least they weren't turkeys...

If You're Into Muzzleloaders...

...and you buy them from this guy, you're giving business to someone who publicly advocates ending private sales under force of government arms.

I thought of naming him and his business, and even linking to his blog, but reconsidered. Nobody I know has ever heard of him, and it looks like he's intentionally trying to stir up controversy and get it to spread.

I see no reason to give him free publicity so the AHSA-holes can patronize him.

The Appleseed Militia

Court documents said anti-terrorism agents keep an eye on the gun range because the informant says it's known as a militia training center.

But Faire claims the word "militia" is just a part of an inside joke. He says his group is a local chapter of Project Appleseed, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching marksmanship and preserving gun rights. [More]

Yeah, those are some dangerous hombres there.

Just more bigotry against gun owners, gun ranges, and that thing the Founders deemed as being necessary to the security of a free state.

I guess if you don't intend to allow a free state, all that becomes unnecessary.

The controlling bastards wanted to shut the range down so they decided to smear them as rightwing extremists. And note the convenient "undercover informant." There was one of those tied up with von Brunn, too:
Todd Blodgett, a former White House aide who worked as an informant within white supremacist groups...
Hmmm...

Anyway, I guess society will be safer if gun owners don't practice. And also if we don't have any gun owners.

They're just going to keep coming after us, aren't they?

Anybody know anything about this "Andrew Gray"?

Where There's Smoke, There's Government

The US Senate has backed a bill giving the government far-reaching new powers to try to curb smoking among Americans...

President Barack Obama hailed the passage of the bill
[More]
No doubt just what the Founders intended as a delegated federal power.

And kapo Phillip Morris certainly sounds a lot like Bill Ruger, no?

But hey, don't worry, everyone.

Barry will still be able to afford his.

I'm no defender of cigarettes. I smoked them for many years. I quit 19 years ago when my wife told me we were expecting our first child--figured I owed the kid a father.

That said, everyone by now in this country knows there are risks, right? And the supposed benefits of "regulation" need to be weighed against the very real costs of government giving itself more power over our lives and choices.

And full disclosure, I'm having a cigar tonight after dinner.

How Homeland Security Says We Should Respond to Active Shooters

Yes, the DHS "flip book" titled "Active Shooter-How to Respond" certainly looks authoritative, although I don't quite get what the shuffling silhouette zombies on the front are supposed to represent. Why don't we flip through it and see? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column questions whether a government brochure explores all options.

Reaction to Shooting from CSGV

AAAGHH!!! HELP!!!! GUNNNNS!!!!!
Oh, wait, they also said this:
What we are seeing play out in tragedies across our country is the mixing of the insurrectionist idea with increasingly weaker gun laws. [More]
You want to talk about a not so "loosely-knit political movement" (or a "loosely-wrapped" one is more like it) let's look at the effort to stifle speech away from areas the left doesn't want discussed--from out-and-out endorsement of expanding "hate speech" edicts, to the evil deception of associating anyone advocating the Second Amendment as guarantee against tyranny with homicidal racists.

We all recognize this for the anti-Liberty manipulation that it is, right?

We're the Only Ones Not Full of Beans Enough

Polk County Sheriff's Department officials said Wednesday a shot intended to be non-lethal that was fired at a man during a standoff situation turned out to not be a beanbag round. [More]
Oops.

Well, heck, if this could happen to a trained "Only One," imagine how dangerous it would be for you and me to be armed...

We're the Only Ones Who are a Driving Force Enough

A rookie police officer who drove an SUV over a sunbather on the beach last month received seven days' suspension as part of his discipline for the accident.[More]
Good grief.

Aren't you glad our intrepid "Only One" was out there patrolling for beer drinkers? Why, one of those scofflaws might have gotten into his car and run over someone!

Oh well--at least this one noticed.

We're the Only Ones Balking Enough

A Town Council debate over banning Tasers in the resort was met with some resistance by council members eager to have one for their own protection at home or work. [More]
What? It will be binding on us too?

Y'know what, you wannabe commissars? Criminals don't care about your stupid damn rules, and neither do a growing number of fed up Americans who are sick and tired of fools like you presuming to define their adult choices for them.

Some of us could not care less about your insulting "large sums of money" exceptions--although it does tell us something about your shallow values, that you deem a well-heeled rope-selling "capitalist" of more value than...who, exactly?

And who is this Lloyd Martin character, a freaking NRA member who says "he doesn't want stun guns sold on the Boardwalk"?

Then we have this epitome of "Only One" arrogance:
Police Chief Bernadette DiPino, who initially brought the issue before the council last month, said Taser use has been studied in depth by Maryland law enforcement agencies and it's judged to be a safe alternative to deadly force.

DiPino wants to ban sales and possession of electronic stun guns because, like a handgun, "it's more likely to be turned on you when you carry it than it is to be utilized to defend yourself."
In other words, it's OK if she uses it, but you're just not competent and trustworthy enough.

You ever notice those who make these stupid takeaway claims never give live demonstrations where they show people how it's done?

Holocaust Museum Shooting Must Not be Exploited to Erode Liberty

Gun owners are going to be seeing a lot more calls for gun control, for "hate speech" control, for denying rights without due process...we're going to see many more attempts to paint us in the most negative of ways. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner looks at the mob mentality being inflamed by the enemies of freedom. Their lies need to be exposed to all who will listen.

Also read about two bills advancing in Oregon and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Please share this with your friends.

This Day in History: June 11

If the Ships that went out are intended for Delaware Bay, the Troops at Brunswic and Amboy will either follow immediately by Sea or wait till they hear of their arrival in the Bay and then make a sudden march to meet them. The Flag upon the Tree was seen yesterday, but if you will hoist it about half way up the Body, it will be more distinct. [More]

Holocaust Museum: Shooting in DC 'Gun Free Zone'

There's been a gunfight at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington., D.C.

I'm including the Google News link for search terms
'holocaust museum shooting'. It should update with new report links as they become available. [More]
I posted a second Gun Rights Examiner column today to cover this breaking story. You can return to this column throughout the day to check the news link, and if anything significant becomes known, I'll be making updates.

I Got Your Name Right Here

This past week the newspaper was served with a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. attorney's office demanding that we turn over all records pertaining to those postings, including "full name, date of birth, physical address, gender, ZIP code, password prompts, security questions, telephone numbers and other identifiers ... the IP address," et (kitchen sink) cetera. [More]
Under the circumstances, I did the only thing I could.

I went to the column in question and left this comment:
Now that I know the Fed Gestapo have subpoenaed records to identify commenters, please add my name to their list.

My hope is we can restore the Republic and one day give them, personally, and those who issued their orders the opportunity to see if the Nuremberg defense works.

What kind of Nazi weasels are these g-men?
Just tell me who to send the Bite-Me-Gram to...

We're the Only Ones Old School Enough

School Gunman Was Ex-Cop, Police Say [More]

Meaning he was eligible to take advantage of HR-218's nationwide "Only One"status...?

And you're not?

What is it with "Only Ones" and dogs today?

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough Redux

When the Bullocks returned home from a family member's funeral on Friday, they found blood and three bullets on their front porch – along with a note to call the Blue Ash Police Department about their dog. [More]
Why would you reach for a cornered dog? And a Chihuahua mix?

Sounds like the situation was handled in typical "Only One" fashion...that is, escalating the situation to one of out-of-control hysteria.

If they were my kids, I wouldn't be telling them Jack ran away.
