We're the Only Ones Turning Things Upside Down Enough

Boynton beach's Risk Management office says they are investigating this case to see if the city is financially responsible for the damage. The city will contact the homeowner in a couple of days. [More]
Meanwhile, all the "Only Ones" responsible will go home at night and sleep in nice, untrashed dwellings, so I guess there's no hurry.

Hell, they were probably acting within protocol anyway...

We're the Only Ones Getting to the Heart of the Matter Enough

San Mateo police detective tripped, accidentally shot man in heart [More]
By virtue of his magic "Only One" status, this idiot is deemed more fit to carry a gun than you or I. And not just any gun, but a submachine gun! You know, a weapon of war designed only to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

And naturally, he:
...will not face criminal charges...
Why, you might ask? Because:
The actions of the San Mateo Police Department were in accord with the operational plan and the actions of Detective Rodenspiel were consistent with the training he received in SWAT operations.
See? Like magic! And it doesn't even matter if we know how the trick was done.

Appleseed Gets Good Press

People fear what they don't understand, especially dangerous things for which the benefits outweigh the dangers. [More]

One of the more satisfying videos I've seen. [More]

Beware if foul language offends you, as some of the comments are pretty raw.


What a punk the aggressor is--and the way he leaves himself wide open--only someone seemingly assured that people will be cowed into surrendering to his kind would do that. Gee, I wonder what gave him that idea?

And what a skulking coward he turned out to be in the end.

The defender will be lucky if they don't prosecute him. Here's hoping in the mean time, the POS doesn't ambush him with a weapon. One of the comments says he is now trying to sue for humiliation. Talk about someone who deserves to be humiliated.

We're the Only Ones "It's a Family Affair" Enough

A former Lockney police officer is now in Brownfield Jail Wednesday night after pleading guilty to a sex crime. The Floyd County jury gave 23-year-old Brandon Welty seven years in prison for sexually assaulting a 16-year old family member from New York. [More]
The "Only Ones" keeping it all in the family enough...Hey, if she ain't good enough for her kinfolk...

On the plus side, think how much money he saved not having to take her out on dates.

As if Permission Matters

Should these men have been allowed to carry a gun? [More]
Actually, I'm more concerned with these men.

Besides, by their own admission:
No one has illusions that permit denials will keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
And a question for the NRA spokesman: Does your definition of criminality deserving a zero tolerance legal response include, say, people who carry to protect themselves because they don't have the connections to wrangle "may issue" permits? Or people who live in "no issue" locales? And how about people who refuse to register their guns?

Globalists Use Mexican Crime—and a Lie—as Excuse to Ban U.S. Guns

Well, there you have it—they trip right out of the starting gate. No "high-powered automatic weapons" were involved in the Clinton gun ban. That people think they were is a calculated lie used to deceive them into supporting a ban on semiautomatic firearms.

Gee, globalists spreading lies to enact gun bans. And the "Authorized Journalist" establishment media is acting as their press agent.

Imagine that. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explores the motives of those who would use lies to disarm us.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

I do hope columns like today's demonstrate yet once more why we can't rely on the establishment media to propagate the truth. That's one of the reasons I continually end these column announcements with the request "Tell a friend?"

Full-Court Press

New York's highest court is set to hear arguments Wednesday in a case that will decide whether the state government can lawfully seize private property for a development company. [More]
Because nothing says "public use" requiring coercion like "private basketball." God forbid there should be a market solution.

I suppose if by "lawfully" they mean capable of seizing at gunpoint with no resistance...

Hey, what's more important for governments instituted among men to secure the Blessings of Liberty? Keeping the masses stupefied with bread and circuses or your property rights?

And who better to decide than New York judges?

The outrageous thing is, so many idiot sports fans don't care what freedoms are lost as long as the vicarious thrills of watching others perform keep coming.

On Endorsing Enablers

From correspondent Mack H:
This is something worth following, I think. Let me take this step-by-step...

A Virginian, all by himself (pro se), is suing George Mason University to secure the right to armed self-defense on college campus.

His legal briefs are posted here:
http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum54/31880.html

He lost in Circuit court, so now he is now appealing to the Supreme Court of Virgina:
http://www.virginia1774.org/GMUSCPetitionweb.pdf

The AG's office has responded with this brief:
http://www.virginia1774.org/GMUBRIEFOPPET.pdf

This brief alleges that a taxpayer supported university has a "compelling government interest" in banning armed self-defense because allowing students and visitors to bring weapons onto campus would imperil safety.

"Without the regulation, the University's safety is seriously compromised." From page 13. Read on to see examples listed as to why safety is threatened by guns on campus. You decide how ridiculous those examples are. No mention of armed campus cops. That wouldn't fit the template.

The Virginia Attorney General is William C. Mims.

Billy Mims is a well-known gun control RINO. He has always supported gun control over freedom.

Bill Mims is a close, personal friend of Bob McDonnell. For a time, they both served in the House of Delegates.

McDonnell hand-picked Mims to be his deputy AG - his second in command.

McDonnell planned all along, when he won the race for AG, to resign early so he could run full-time for governor.

McDonnell hand-picked Mims to be the new Attorney General -- his successor.

Bob McDonnell has received the endorsement of the NRA. He has not (so far) received the endorsement of the VCDL-PAC.

No one writes about this publicly. I wonder why?
Yep:
McDonnell...urged lawmakers to pick Mims, his chief deputy, to succeed him.
and:
Virginia: NRA endorses McDonnell for Governor
Any political rating system that doesn't take into account anti-gun political alliances is incomplete and deceptive.

The system takes seconds to look at chin widths and nose sizes. The expanded technology used on millions of motorist could be rolled out across the USA. The FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System is also getting an upgrade to DNA records, 3-D facial imaging, palm prints and voice scans. [More]

Patches, I'm Dependin' on You, Son...

We've talked about these before. Here's an update:
The Woodland "III" patches are in, ahead of schedule!! All orders received as of today, 13 Oct 09, have been fulfilled.

We still have a limited number of Desert "III" patches in, so those who want them better get them soon; they won't be re-ordered. Please send $4 per patch (post paid) to:

Raven's Wood Enterprises, LLC PO Box 962 Birmingham, MI 48012

USPS Money Orders, Certified & Cashier's checks process upon receipt; all other instruments cause the order to be held until it clears the bank.

Cash is accepted, reluctantly, because of the risk. Raven's Wood Enterprises, LLC takes no responsibility for any order sent in cash; all risk is inherent with the sender.
NOTE: There are no more Desert patches. All orders processed after 10/23/09 are Woodland.

Of Course

I did not need a real gun, of course... [More]
Which is probably just as well, because if you ever do, Bloomberg and his tax cow-funded armed goons won't let you.

Western Rifle Shooters Association comments on the Olofson denial and includes a reminder:
As you listen to the classic Irish resistance song that follows, please consider sending what you can, as often as you can, to David's Relief Fund, which is administered by Larry Pratt and GOA.
I should have said an important reminder. [More]

Nothing Succeeds Like Secession

Does America, bound and defined by The Constitution with the rights and duties of each party defined, still exist, or has Washington DC and Wall Street already seceded over the previous two decades? [More]
I'd say it goes back farther than that.

Journalism Student Criticizes Bloomberg Gun Show Stings

I typically don't solicit "guest editorials," but I'm always happy to do what I can to encourage interest in the right to keep and bear arms by the next generation--and the chance to see this kind of thought introduced in a college journalism class is too good to pass up. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column presents an exercise in student journalism.
