Am I 'Skating Near the Legal Edge of Making Threats of Violence'?

"In his last line, Mr. Codrea seems to be skating pretty near the legal edge of making threats of violence." [More]
A Fudd/troll offers a stinging criticism to one of my GUNS Magazine columns.

I thought it worth a second Gun Rights Examiner column to call it to your attention.

Tell a friend?

And feel free to send the mag your own "Crossfire" letter.

Imagine a World Without Guns!

Gangs Armed With Machetes Loot Port-Au-Prince [More]
And:
There was no sign of police or any kind of law and order.
Ah. Any bets they're taking care of their own? And they're armed with more than machetes?

Another Name to Put...

...on the "No Guns" list... [More]

Kurt also has some thoughts.

Just take your shoes off and step into the Disintegrator Booth...

Give a Little Whistle

You never know when you'll find yourself walking past the graveyard of history.

Or caught up in a vortex.

Vanderboegh explains. [More]

A False Premise

Do you love your gun? Tell me why [More]
No, Sandy Banks. I love my wife and children. I love my parents. I love my brothers and sisters.

I have guns but they are just tools, like the keyboard I am typing on, to help me protect something else that I love: My rights.

What did Mr. Pynchon say?
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers.

UPDATE: John Longenecker has more to say.

We're the Only Ones Showing Professional Courtesy Enough

"You know, I pull people over for driving 100 mph -- you know what they say? 'I'm a narcotics officer in an unmarked vehicle.' 'Great, well slow it down, have a good night,' " Phinney explained. "As long as they show me a badge, I don't care." [More]
But woe unto you if you're not an "Only One."

What does this expectation of entitlement tell us...?

And just wait 'til her husband the lieutenant finds out she was treated like a commoner!

In Other Words...

...Mary McFating is bad when we do it but good when they do...? [More]

Speaking of which, anybody find My Favorite Mute yet...?

Mark Amodei Answers Gun Rights Questionnaire

This is a significant development, especially since Amodei has traditionally not been responsive to questionnaires. For him to answer this questionnaire shows the importance of the issue, the potential impact of this questionnaire, and how seriously he and the field of candidates are treating it. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes another major player in the Nevada U.S. Senate race has found it necessary to go on record about RKBA with some specific answers.

This Day in History: January 15

As happened with most fires, soldiers and mariners played an essential role in stopping the conflagration of 1778.

I'm Just Glad to Know...

...that this will never happen to Furious Mike. [More]

They really would rather see you bound on the floor helpless. And/or dead.

They really, truly would.

Candidates and Guns

Liston Matthews looks at the race for governor in Tennessee. [More]

Me, I think somebody ought to find out how serious these folks really are...

We're the Only Ones Huffing and Puffing Enough

According to Williamson County court papers, he's charged with inhaling either glue or paint.

Martin was arrested just weeks earlier in Kyle for the same offense. [More]

Can't huffing bring on acute psychosis?

Any reason why someone who considers himself an "Only One" wouldn't consider that an asset?

It's What's for Dinner

What kind of dish is keeku?

And are you sure you're supposed to eat it raw?

Stink Not Think

What do you do when you're a moron who can't be trusted to act responsibly with a gun?

Support a group that harasses those of us who can

Sheepless in Seattle

If only that were true. Dave Workman tells us about the latest treachery from some Washington State wolves who want nothing more than to ensure the herd is defenseless. [More]

We spotlighted two of them the other day.

Some Call it "Treason"

Carolyn McCarthy calls it "protecting local gun laws." [More]

Is it just me, or when you look at her grinning mug do you also see a snout?

We're the Only Ones "To Catch a Predator" Enough

A federal jury convicted a former Bibb County sheriff’s deputy Wednesday of a charge that he tried to entice a child for sex. [More]
Take a seat.

Oh no! Chris Hansen!!!

And as with all such "Only Ones" accounts, the Eternal Question remains unanswered...

And oh, looky here: today we have a twofer.

Have Officials 'Willfully Conspired' to Cover Up ATF Record Errors?

Today we're going to document the probability that this was not just an isolated case, but an indication of system-wide incompetence, negligence, deception and cover-up that reaches throughout and beyond the agency, extending to those charged with providing audit oversight. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column provides documentation that justifies using the "c" word. As such, it is very important to get the word out, and I am hoping the regulars here will take that personally and share the link.

Also see my interview yesterday and get the latest from my fellow GREs.
