We're the Only Ones "These Aren't the 'Roids You're Looking For" Enough

The three other officers were arrested in March. They include a narcotics detective and a former police driver for Providence Mayor David Cicilline (sis-uh-LEE’-nee). [More]

You know, another Mayor Against (Your) Guns (TIE'-runt).

Obviously only a few bad apples...albeit ones who had enough confidence in their ability to navigate the system they were pretty sure they could get away with things.

Yeah, these are the people I want controlling me.

[Via Harvey]

Just Give Them What They Want

Otherwise, the assailant may take your gun away from you and use it against you.

Or, you could take his away from him if he's a moron.

I'm glad things worked out, but I still think the superior plan is to just shoot him with your own.

'Dear Abby' Gives Good Advice on 'Gun-Toting Churchgoer'

You don't like it, leave. Your parents can do the same if it bothers them. Otherwise, deal with it. [More]

This Day in History: June 11

Our troops here are in as high health as ever men were, & in no skirmishing during the whole winter have the rebel parties stood before them...not less than 1000 prisoners here; near thrice that number have deserted from them since we came here. Washington's head quarters are still at Valley forge; his numbers are variously talked of from 8000 to 12,000...The Virginians are so tired of the service that the Congress cannot raise men though they are offering 50 pounds of bounty to a single man...[More]

Acting Fast!!!

I'm fairly sure this is a routine phishing scam to glean valid edresses into responding, so I won't directly. My guess is the account referenced is being spoofed. My point in posting this here is to let those of you who may be inclined to reply with a counter-threat know that will probably only get you on a mailing list you'll wish you weren't on.

That said, "Tick Tock," you total cowardly stool sample, bring it on. Right.

In the mean time, just to validate my claim to self defense should I ever get my hands on said creep, I will, of course, be forwarding this to the police, along with the header information:

GRE Round Up for June 10

Here are the latest Gun Rights Examiner posts:

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Way better than a Gun Free Zone

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Sotomayor’s position on SAF’s McDonald case will tell much about nominee Kagan

Kurt Hofmann/St.Louis:

Georgia's Governor Perdue vetoes airport carry bill, but federal law still pushed

I do hope you realize the importance of sharing these links and show these guys your support by doing so...?

While you're at it, be sure and check out these other liberty-oriented Examiners:

• Kent McManigal/Albuquerque Libertarian
• Kevin Wilmeth/Anchorage Libertarian
• Jesse Mathewson/Cochise County Libertarian
• Anthony Martin/Conservative

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

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to protect the environment. [More]

It always amuses/irritates me to see some snotty Brit disparage RKBA.

They'd better pray they never find out up close and personal why it's important. And hope to God they have a say in who they pray to.

As far as supporting inbred idiot "royal" welfare parasites (and German ones at that), Mr. Paine had that one figured out.

I wouldn't kneejerk rule out sending a gun to defend a British home if the plea is ever put out again, depending on who's doing the asking and what they want it for.

Giving Back to the Community

What do you think contributes more to society? A cutting-edge modern art gallery in one of the most famous and cosmopolitan cities in the world, or a drive-through liquor store that sells cheap guns with no waiting period in Wyoming? [More]

Does the store carry cigars?

You all remember Michael Dean, don't you?

We're the Only Ones Having a Cow Enough

Police shoot contrary cow [More]

Well, I know they were only following established protocols, but some enlightened "Only Ones" have established contented cows are preferable to contrary one...

Hey, if anybody's looking for a new desktop background...

It's actually not fair for me to second guess or even use this as an example--I wouldn't know how to round up a charging 1,200-Lb. animal either. I see the Charolais makes good eating. Hope the owner made the most of it.

[Via Carl S]

Only Following Orders

"I'm not going to say anything further," said Liebman. "You need to look at the education code." [More]

I'm not going to say anything further, either, Mark. Your attitude says it all.

[Via Harvey]

Harry F. Hambrick Jr. Is Not So Clear

What's clear is that the U.S. Supreme Court in the recently decided Heller case has ruled that the Second Amendment does grant the right to bear arms to individuals. [More]

Stop right there.

Right up front in your rant it says "Hambrick is a lawyer in Roanoke."

Did you read the opinion you're presuming to instruct us on, specifically the part that says:

As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.

?

Mugged Liberals

The photographer said he stayed in bed for a while after being robbed, too scared to move and worrying about what was happening in other rooms. [More]

And what have we learned...?

Anything...?

Good ol' "gun free South Africa"...

Man, if even "Authorized Journalists" aren't safe, this is going to get interesting.

Bias and Ignorance-Based Police Authority a Danger to Liberty

What have you ordered your deputies to do should they encounter an armed citizen? When you say your position is you won't allow it, does that mean you're prepared to have your agents use armed force to stop it? [More]

Liberty News/Safer Streets

John Longenecker has started a free newsletter available by email subscription. Here's a what I received today:

Dear David,

Liberty writers are checking in as our Safer Streets concept grows.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger has checked in. Morality, courage, reality and integrity are going to be absolutely essential to the recovery of the nation. If we expect it in others -- especially officials to whom we grant authority -- it all needs to come from us first.

On our authority. On our insistence. Thanks, Dr. Laura.

Information for optimal preparedness is as important, and we welcome Alex Jones' website with NASA's notice of solar activity that has the globe abuzz.

Bob Parks joins us too, with a daring expose on several important things every voter should know this November. Where did America ever get the idea the Ku Klux Klan was conservatives? His series sure explains a lot!

It all means safer streets. Good to have you all.

Love of Liberty,

John Longenecker

His student, a woman, was a total newbie. The day for the parachute jump was beautiful: sunny, clear, warm. Dave gave Shirley her briefing before they took off in the airplane to jump - in tandem (that means attached to each other), as he has done hundreds of times. This day was different. This day the parachute did not deploy properly and they were spinning to their certain deaths. More. . _________________________________________________________

Walter Williams, Ph.D. Who's to blame? If our founders could see today's federal government, it would be unrecognizable to their vision. In fact, their vision has been turned upon its head, so that the powers of the state governments are "few and defined" and those of the federal government "are numerous and indefinite." Who is to blame for a federal government that spends a third of our income, regulates most every aspect of our lives, and has snuffed out the personal liberty envisioned by our founders?

Tenth Amendment Center. Arizonans dare to defy the feds again. Derek Sheriff Just when you thought Arizona couldn't get any more provocative, or push any more of the federal government's buttons, it looks like America's 48th state may actually become the 15th state to adopt another very controversial law! This proposed law, on the other hand, may actually make some people on the Left, as well as the Right, happy for a change. I have my doubts about whether it will make those who put party above principle, or anyone employed by the U.S. Department of Justice happy, however.

Sharron Angle, a former Reno assemblywoman and Tea Party favorite, emerged from Tuesday's Republican primary, lifted to a landslide by a solid base of conservative supporters but carrying political baggage that experts say gives the embattled Reid a new lease on political life.
