Too Many Tips

I just can't cover them all. Please understand if I haven't gotten to yours--it doesn't mean it's not as deserving of being featured as anything else--it just means there's only one of me and I have other responsibilities to attend to.

We're the Only Ones Minty Fresh Enough

They wouldn't let May out of jail for three months until tests proved the so-called drugs were candy.

While May was behind bars, the Kissimmee Police Department towed his car and auctioned it off. He lost his job and was evicted. [More]

And the "Only Ones'" War on Everything continues...

What, your life was destroyed? Hey, they were just following department protocol.

Every damned "officer" involved in this outrage should be publicly identified, held personally criminally and civilly accountable, and humiliated and shunned by all decent people.

Oh, I forgot--they can kidnap and hold us hostage for that, too.

A Snuffyless Mantra

Hernando Zavala gets a letter published. [More]

He tells me via email:

Just one gripe. They edited my letter ... I called it the "Daley/Pfleger" mantra. They dropped the Pfleger.

Maybe they're afraid of being "snuffed out".

We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

A 34-YEAR-OLD woman, the mother of a 12-year-old girl, has been locked up in a Virginia jail for three weeks and could remain there for at least another month. Her crime? Blogging about the police. [More]

How dare a mere subject presume to monitor the exalted "Only One" drug warriors.

Look--I'm "identifying a police officer."

Oh, My Achey Fordy Seven!

They've since corrected it, without admitting anything, of course.

Forget "write what you know." No one in power really wants "Authorized Journalists" to know what the hell they're talking about. They're too useful using their vast reach to spread exploitable ignorance.

We're the Only Ones Getting Carried Away with Our Work Enough Update

We talked about this here.

It's over.

Another Racist Obama Protestor

Correspondent ZGeorge points us to an MSNBC video and notes:

MSLSD crops the video of the guy in Arizona to obscure the fact that he is black and then Contessa Brewer and her crew of spit bubble blowers go on about how white people are carrying guns around presidents of "color."

A little background:

The guy carrying the gun is black - not white.

The event is no where near Obama.

The guy carrying the gun cleared this with the police department ahead of time.

Open carry of firearms in Arizona is legal.

Not surprising.

The socialists want us to believe using "socialist" to describe their socialism is a racist codeword.

This nitwit would have us believe the Obama /Joker poster originated with racists. I still haven't seen a retraction on that one.

Hey, it's not us intent on rendering "people of color" defenseless by force of the state--it's them.

And we all know how MSNBC feels about guns. The very thought sends a sensation down their legs, albeit a wet one, as opposed to a "furrowing".

We're the Only Ones Just Popping In Enough

“I instinctively slid [my gun] off my belt and placed it in the center console, and armed the alarm,” Brown said. “I didn’t want to take it in. I was only going in for a hot second.” [More]

Understandable attitude for an "Only One" with his eye trained to see potential crime scenes in his jurisdiction. We all know nothing bad ever happens in stores or their parking lots.

Besides, we also know how quickly you can get in and out of Home Depots. Who would have time to do anything in a span as brief as "a hot second"?

Oh, wait...

Can Obama's Anti-Gun OSHA Pick Be Stopped?

As usual, the major players are all silent on voicing their position on the nominee. If past actions are any indication, they'll only enter into the controversy if dragged kicking and screaming by the grassroots, which generally means too late to change the outcome. Their apologists may point to the recent setback on Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court confirmation, and come up with all kinds of excuses why the realpolitik course is avoidance. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that ultimately, the answer to the title question rests with us.

Here's what it boils down to: If you and I do nothing, and accept confirmation as inevitable without lifting a finger to stop it, no, he can't be.

If you and I do something that requires very little time and effort, and then urge every gun owner we know to follow suit, there could be a chance.

If you're just coming into this discussion, it would help to read Part One and Part Two.

Also, Jennifer Freeman of Liberty Belles gives us a language lesson.

Tell a friend? And take five minutes to contact a few people?

This Day in History: August 20

Would it not be much more for the honor and interest of America to turn such a part of our force, against our enemy to the northward as no longer to leave it in doubt who shall have the ascendency in that quarter? [More]

Shouldn't You Be in Bed?

If this doesn't work, we can extend hours even longer. [More]

And we'll just enforce that with our "manhunters" here...

We're the Only Ones Going Home to Mother Enough

A San Diego police officer is facing misdemeanor charges after witnesses say she got drunk and started waiving her gun around in a bar while off duty. Carlsbad police did not take the officer to jail. Instead, they released her to her mother. [More]

Now, like some of the comment posters, I don't want to hear that she got special "Only One" treatment. I'm sure the coroner would eventually release us to our family, too.

We're the Only Ones Gaming the System Enough

A former Lawrence police officer has pleaded guilty to 14 counts of federal wire fraud for selling stolen video games on eBay last year while he was a member of the police department. [More]

Because the "Only Ones" are more trustworthy than you are at being "first-person shooters"...which is why they get access to more "cheat codes" than the general population...

"A Pointless, Bureaucratic Knee-Jerk Reaction"

I wouldn't say "pointless," because that presupposes the NZ police establishment doesn't understand full well its actions are tyrannical. [More]

You can get background on this story here.

I Wonder if You Could Book...

...a hunting or shooting vacation, and make arrangements to ship your guns? [More]


I also wonder if YourTravelBiz is ideological or simply mercenary, and if they'd extend a similar franchise program to a gun group...?

[Via JPR9. who "wonder[s] if their funding is drying up."]

"The Sight of Such a Weapon Can Make You Crazy"

Yeah, just knowing it can shoot down airplanes...[More]

Why it can totally screw up one's sense of proportion.

Along those lines, JFC copied me on his correspondence to the "Authorized Journalist":

Dear Ms. Barry:

On 12.7-caliber miscalculation:

In "South Ossetia Tries to Disarm Its Citizens"

You wrote: "...12.7-caliber machine gun..."

Try .50 caliber Browning Machine Gun [BMG] (12.7x99mm NATO)

See:

About that Right Wing Militia Threat...

Correction: I mean the federal agent provocateur threat... [More]

Not that this will stop the SPLC from stirring things up and smearing patriots for profit.

Vanderboegh clued us in on this insect almost two months ago.

Be the Best Witness You Can Be

That and give them what they want.

We can't have any heroes any more.

At least not ones who don't work for the state pretending that's their job.

Otherwise, people might start getting ideas...and start undermining all that dependency we're relying on...

Wising Up to Bloomberg

Buckeye Firearms Association tells us of more defections. [More]

We're the Only Ones Standing By Enough

Two Marin County sheriff's deputies watched from 50 feet away while a man killed two people with a shotgun on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge last week. [More]

It may surprise you to find I agree with Sheriff Doyle, and I'm not playing "Monday- morning quarterback" for the officers' actions/inaction.

What I will criticize is the perception that the police will protect you. That and the way much of California, particularly Marin County, makes it highly improbable that any but an "Only One" will ever legally have a gun on their person in a public place with which they can defend themselves.

Oh, and also Sheriff Doyle's insistence on keeping things that way...
