Who Will Guard the Guards?

Gun Grabbers: Who Are These People?

"Anti-gun laws seem to be the brain children of those who would wreck our American way of life, including politicians who should or do know better, and 'write for hire' writers who lack ability to write anything except something that appeals to emotional thinkers or those who can't think at all."

Don't Forget to be Thankful for Your 'Gun Rights'

"He's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'." [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column brings a message of holiday cheer, reminding us to be thankful for our rights and our means to preserve them against predatory turkeys.

I'm taking the rest of the day off.

You all have a good one.

This Day in History: November 26

Much lately has been urged concerning the reputation of our arms; as if we had long been a warlike nation, whose existence, like the ancient Romans, depended on their military fame. I confess I view the matter differently, and cannot bring myself to believe (how much soever I may wish it) that we are upon a par in military knowledge and Skill with our enemies. Indeed it is not possible, and the sensible part of mankind well know it. [More]

'Not Without a Fight' Gun Rights Documentary Completed

Gun rights documentary maker Max Lemus informs me his "Not without a fight" video has been completed and its official release date is today. [More]

Find out how you can purchase your copy in today's second Gun Rights Examiner column.

This young man invested months of his life traveling the country to interview gun rights activists, and invested his own savings in order to bring this to us, and I think he's created a tool that can be very helpful in spreading the message "outside the choir." When you consider how uncompromising the views presented are, that's really a pretty remarkable achievement.

I'd like to think someone who has earned our support deserves to actually receive it.

If not from you, then who?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Britain has built the world's biggest DNA database without proper political debate and police routinely arrest people just to get their DNA profiles onto the system, the genetics watchdog said in a report on Tuesday. [More]

I guess the term "function creep" doesn't strike them as ironic?

New York Daily News Uses Ignorant Snobbery to Push Citizen Disarmament

[C]reatures such as these will never stop promoting the destruction of our right to keep and bear arms. There can be no compromise with them, because they'll never stop, so long as other, rougher men in the service of the state are willing to enforce their demands at gunpoint... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner illustrates returns the contempt.

Gillibrand and McCarthy to Make Illegal Gun Transactions Even More Illegal

That's pretty much the gist of today's press conference. [More]

Here's the follow-up to today's earlier Gun Rights Examiner column. There's not a lot to say because most of what they said was such BS.

A Brief Nod

Is it really as good as a wink to a blind horse? [More]

Grey's Anatomy Spin-Off Webcast Starts Tonight!

Western Rifle Shooters Association tells us about it. [More]

But first they make us sit through some boring economic stuff.

And It's All Perfectly Legal!

There are armed men and women in the tri-counties that we don't hear much about. They aren't police, rather they're ordinary citizens carrying a concealed gun in public-- and it's all perfectly legal. [More]

Provided you can prove to Master that you "need" it.

We're in Bill Brown country now!

I like how some connected businessman's money roll or some club musician's fan interactions are more important than my childrens' lives.

And it's all perfectly legal!

I wonder if they did a quick audit of these counties if you'd find any inconvenient racial disparities in re approvals...

Actually, we don't need to wonder.

We're the Only Ones Stripped Bare Enough

Newly obtained documents reveal a former Scottsdale police officer may have illegally strip searched as many as 20 Valley women during his two years on the force. [More]

If he'd tried that on some of the women I know, ol' Chong Kim here would have ended up in deep kimche.

The thing about "Only Ones" stories like this that always gets to me is just the fact that they believe they operate in a culture that allows them to get away with it. That and their attitude that citizens are chattel to be used and disposed of as they see fit.

Maybe this is why:

A police spokesman said the department also investigated possible criminal charges against Kim, but determine he did not violate any state laws.

Think they'd have been able to gin up some relevant statutes if one of the victims had...uh...blown this evil pig to hell?

And then there's this:

"Clearly this was an officer who was going way beyond his job description," said Ulises Ferragut, a defense attorney who has been involved in similar cases.

Really? It wasn't within established department protocols? Or is Ulises here just having fun with wry understatement?

William Grigg has more.

The Way Things Oughtta Be

Two days after the General’s death, a 14-year-old girl in Bushenyi allegedly killed one Josephat Mpigika, a 40-year-old man who had tried to rape her. She reportedly killed him with a rock accurately aimed at his head. The police arrested her. [More]

Thank goodness some parts of the world recognize the danger posed by guns, and take that awful choice away from women, leaving them with poison and witchcraft.

We could get there some day here, too. Our finest feminist mind is working on it.

Thugs who broke a man's jaw on a night out were freed after just one day of their nine-month jail sentences after a judge decided he had been too harsh, it emerged today. [More]

Stop with the Fred Maslack Emails Already

Fred Maslack is not a current member of the VT legislature.

Here: See for yourself.

Please stop forwarding the email about him introducing a bill requiring gun ownership. You'll notice they never actually come with a bill number and a link?

I heard such a bill was introduced a while back, but you couldn't prove it by me.

It's kind of like that damned SB 2099 HR 45 email that keeps urging us to SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. And it seems they're always sent by people clueless as to "BCC," so a "reply to all" delights us all. Not to mention provides a convenient cherry picking resource for spammers, especially as forwards accrue more edresses...

We have real efforts required of us. We can't afford to waste time and energy.

We're the Only Ones Mildly Responded To Enough

Yet despite one officer's own admission of the fraud as well as payroll sheets outlining the officers' misdeeds, no charges were brought against them. [More]

Well, yeah...hh...

Why do you think we call them "Only Ones"?

No Business for Randy Rayburn, EVER

"We will have vigilantes shooting up bars all over," said Randy Rayburn, the owner of three upscale cafes, who led opponents of the law. [More]

Insulting, isn't he?

I wonder what Randy's prepared to personally do if someone downscale decides an upscale cafe with unarmed patrons provides an attractive opportunity for those not afraid to ignore the rules when it suits their purposes?

You know, people who look at "No Guns Ever" signs as invitations...?

You can ask Randy. You'll find him down at the Sunset Grill. Or at the Midtown Cafe, or his third "Dine While Disarmed" establishment, Cabana.

Any gun owner who spends a dime in these joints is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

And here's an interesting twist: Randy's executive chef "specializes in wild game dishes in the framework of contemporary cuisine."

Does that mean they have to shoot it?

Might be an opportunity to do a little CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA bridge-building, and find out how many PETA activists in the Nashville area might be outraged at the exploitation and murder of our animal friends just to satisfy upscale gluttony and greed...

Kirsten Gillibrand Ramps Up Abandonment of Gun Owners

I noticed one conspicuous absence in particular among the signatories: formerly "pro gun" Kirsten Gillibrand, who abandoned her supportive gun-owning constituents to embrace the political opportunities of citizen disarmament. [More]
