GRE Weekend Round Up

There's some good stuff being turned out by the Gun Rights Examiners. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
CSU surrenders on gun ban for the campus

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Guns on Campus: The ubiquitous armed citizen, Part III.

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Gun 'buy backs' and math, Chicago-style

What Will Gun Owners Supporting Dan Coats Tell GOP?

The one question timid party-first voters, who allow themselves to be serially abused and keep coming back for more (and if you think about that in terms of a relationship, words like "co-dependent," "pathetic" and "sick" come to mind), never can answer:

If you continually reward Republicans for betrayal, what is their incentive to ever change? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column says it's time for voting gun owners to strap on something besides holsters and tell the Republicans "No."

We're the Only Ones Beating the F*****g Mexican P**s Out of You Enough

Forced Mexican urine evacuation in progress...

Big ass crybaby sorry he got caught and thinking he still deserves his place at the trough. You don't reach a point where you say and do stuff like this just out of nowhere.

Y'know, I don't think I know anybody even casually who would say and do stuff like this. It certainly would not be tolerated by anyone I call friend.

Seattle's police and political establishment has long been hostile to your right to keep and bear arms.

Gee, I wonder why.

What Would YOU Say to 'No Guns for Jews'?

Before you go thinking some neo-Nazi is off on an anti-Semitic rant, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership is producing another of its unique and hard-hitting documentaries. That's the title they gave it. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column is looking for a few good producers.

This Day in History: May 8

May 8, 1778 at Bordentown, New Jersey - In May 1778, General Clinton was preparing to evaculate Philadelphia and return to New York via New Jersey. To secure the crossing of the Delaware River, Clinton sent a corps of light infantry to destroy the Pennsylvania Navy that was moored at Bordentown and White Hill (Fieldsboro). On May 8, 1778, the British Force landed at White Hill, finding a few of the Pennsylvania boats already scuttled. As the British Force marched from White Hill to Bordentown on the Burlington Road, they were met by two companies of militia with an artillery piece. As the British formed, the militia fired one volley and fled into Bordentown. The British immediately marched into Bordentown and destroyed those vessels that had not already been scuttled. Local loyalists directed the British to the homes of Colonel Borden and other influential rebels, which they burned. Their dark deed complete, the British retired to Philadelphia. Conclusion: British Victory [More]

Why Would Prosecutor 'Misrepresent' Conditions of Hutaree Bond Release?

With the disconnects we've seen to date in the prosecution's case, it's fair to demand that Waterstreet answer some questions, right now, including whether the misrepresentations were due to "misunderstanding" or something else. [More]

They still have not been released on bond, but now new questions arise that should make us examine the nature of the persuasion that has kept that from happening.

As Alice cried, "Curiouser and curiouser!"

"Myths That Make It Hard To Stop Campus Rape"

If you expected "mandated disarmament makes us safer" to be debunked, forget it. [Read]

The very people decrying lack of justice ensure it can't happen. They're too invested in promulgating myths of their own.

Nicki has more. Lots more.

Still Denied

“Mister McCullough has been cleared of any wrongdoing in this case,” Gottlieb observed, “yet the police are retaining his firearm, and will not allow him to register a replacement gun. He intervened in a dangerous situation, at great personal risk, and now he is being put at continued risk by a police department policy that is both arbitrary and capricious.” [More]

There's no denying there seems to be a lot of denial going around as it pertains to government respecting our right to keep and bear arms. Why would they deny the entire reason for keeping them around in the first place--to secure the blessings of liberty?

Denied

We're the Only Ones Compensated Enough

Matthew Spillane, a lieutenant who works in the dispatch center and made about $272,000, was scheduled for an eight-hour overtime shift on July 17, when he was supposed to direct the towing of vehicles around the city.

But at 2:45 p.m., an hour and 15 minutes before his overtime shift was supposed to end, police say he was at home, where he accidentally discharged his department-issued gun.

Spillane, who was not injured, was never disciplined. He declined to comment through a department spokeswoman. [More]

Hutaree Release Blocked—For How Long?

What will happen? Stay tuned. We have a judge who has called the government's case "woefully inadequate." We have an alleged plot to blow people up yet no explosives were found in the raid. And we have a prosecutor who insists law enforcement and the public will be in danger if the defendants are placed into monitored home confinement. [More]

This Day in History: May 7

Almost immediately, reports surfaced that British and Loyalist troops had committed atrocities, including the murder of prisoners-of-war and setting fire to the American wounded. On May 7, Washington ordered Brigadier General William Maxwell to conduct an inquiry into these allegations so that a report could be made to British commander General William Howe. [More]

And yeah, that's prohibited person Lindsay Lohan--still exhibiting a level of gun handling that reflects on her entire reputation for personal responsibility and self control:
