IMHO, we could use some commanders now like Custer and Miles. And for that matter some like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Men of honor who keep their oaths. [More]Mike H points out some inconsistencies in the Custer legend. Has history unfairly smeared him?
Handgun sales and purchases by New Jersey Retail Dealers are going to virtually end after November 2009. This is because the New Jersey legislature hurriedly passed the so-called “One Gun a Month” bill (A339), which was known to be seriously flawed. The defective bill is absurd, as it address a non-existent problem. No self-respecting gun trafficker would obtain their handguns by first applying for New Jersey Handguns Permits, paying over $50 in fees, and insuring that any handgun he sells on the street was papered to him! Notwithstanding just how idiotic the law is, it awaits the Governor Corzine’s signature and there is no reason to believe he will veto it. [More]Evan Nappen analyzes the latest outrage in New Jersey.
With all due respect, Mr. DA, and it appears very little is due, that's not your call.

SOP for The Big Easy, right?
This is the kind of authoritarian mentality that leads to "terror watch list" gun bans, to prior restraints, and to "no rights" lists where suspicion trumps all. [More]
This print shows the fight on July 3, 1777 between Patriot militia and Loyalist troops supported by Indian allies in the Wyoming Valley in northern Pennsylvania. After a brief but fierce battle, the militia troops fled, only to be pursed, especially by the Indians, who killed and tortured those they could catch. This "massacre" became a rallying point for Patriots leading to retaliation in the Sullivan-Clinton campaign against the Iroquois in 1779. [More]
He was referring to the voluntary training session, in which officers took turns standing next to a target while another officer, a football field away, took aim and fired...Range safety, "Only Ones"-style...
County officials also were concerned that when they tried to look at recordings from the surveillance cameras at the shooting range, they discovered that the cameras had been turned toward the sky or disconnected.

A well-known Nashville restaurant and bar owner plans to sue today to stop the state's new guns-in-bars law from taking effect later this month. [More]Just make sure all gun owners know what Randy Rayburn thinks of them, and reward him accordingly.

Perry Township Police Chief Timothy Escola resigned this week after a tipster called and said the Chief was having sexy time in his police cruiser with a part-time police officer. [More]Isn't that romantic? And having a prisoner in the back seat must have heightened their passion to levels only an "Only One" can ever know.
The public is urged to report illegal sales of professional-grade fireworks or other explosive devices such as M-80s to their local police department and to ATF by calling 1-888-ATF-BOMB, or 1-888-283-2662. Callers can remain anonymous. [More]Thanks, BATFU! Yeah, that's GOTTA be what the Founders had in mind to celebrate our Independence.
It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.Never mind.

So where does this leave us? After years of harassment, including holding him for 23 days, confiscating his property, ordering him not to possess firearms, forcing him to surrender his passport and to post a $250,000 bond, and spending--exactly how much in legal costs for both sides?--the government simply files a motion to dismiss the indictment?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column brings you news on a case that been ongoing for years. The feds tried to destroy this guy and now they drop an indictment without a word of explanation. And after having demonized him, the media is completely AWOL on bringing this conclusion to our attention.
And that's supposed to be it? [More]
July 2, 1777 at Fort Ticonderoga, New York - On July 2, at 3:00 P.M., the advanced elements of Brig. Gen. Simon Fraser's light infantry began sniping at the American position. This provoked a furious series of volleys. When the smoke cleared, no one had been injured on either side. Brig. Gen. Baron von Riedesel pushed forward to the marshy banks of Eagle Creek at the foot of Mount Independence. Here, his men came under fire from American batteries on the heights. This engagement ended in an indecisive conclusion. Conclusion: Draw [More]
CNN's John Roberts quoted a Gun Rights Examiner column in his "American Morning" interview with Pastor Kenneth Pagano...[More]I typically don't do two GRE posts in one day, but then again, it's not every day I find out CNN quoted me in an interview. The other thing I like about this is it's the first time national televised media has broached the "Only Ones" concept.
Should guns be allowed in schools? [More]What did Mr. Pynchon say?
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.See, it's not anybody's place to "allow" me to exercise my rights.

Seven teenagers were wounded — three critically — after they were sprayed with gunfire this afternoon by two masked men at a bus stop near Cody 9th Grade Academy on the city’s west side. [More]Now that it's in the news and all, I wonder if the Detroit Police will report it...? Hell, I wonder if they've reported themselves yet. In between anomalies.
"If you're going to act like a woman I'm going to treat you like a woman."They're so cute when they get mad when "Only Ones" manhandle and feel 'em up, aren't they?

The lamest so far came from a police officer: He said he bought a few military-style rifles, left them in his car and — on the same night — forgot to lock a door. He couldn’t explain why he didn’t file a police report or why he visited Mexico the day after the alleged theft. [More]I'm sure he had noble reasons. After all, that's why guys like him are the "Only Ones"... and we're not.
