Things to Come

A crowd of people hoping to get federal housing assistance became unruly Wednesday morning with reports of fights breaking out in the crowd. [More]

Now imagine it's a food line.

And the word is just starting to spread that they're running out...

We're the Only Ones Faithful and Trustworthy Enough

"Letting people record police officers is an extreme and intrusive response to a problem that’s so rare it might as well not exist. It would be like saying we should do away with DNA evidence because there’s a one in a billion chance that it could be wrong. At some point, we have to put some faith and trust in our authority figures." [More]

Well, hey, if this flack says they're A-OK, who am I to argue?

I mean, we see how much faith and trust the FOP puts in us...

It's Not Luck

While the confluence of the low ammunition production capacity, two foreign battlefronts, the Obama Victory, and the Great Recession created a perfect storm for ammunition demand, the recognition of these macro-forces weren’t the cause that prompted the co-founders of LuckyGunner.com to start a new business. [More]

It's more than being in the right place at the right time.

Course Heading

Apart from the fact that guns are fun, you should give some thought to the direction the U.S.A. is headed. [More]

A-yup.

We're the Only Ones Shootin' Up the Town Enough

Deputy McLeod fired through his vehicle's windshield. One round traveled through the suspect vehicle and struck the front passenger in the chin. A second round traveled through the kitchen window of a nearby residence, and the third traveled through the same residence's sliding-glass door. [More]

And they say we're the ones who will turn things into the Wild West...

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

Gun Violence Up Citywide, NYPD Stats Show [More]

If only they would enact some "common sense gun controls"!

If only they would make it harder for those of us who commit no violent crimes and who don't live there to own guns!

We're the Only Ones Whizzing About Enough

WPCs from Cambridgeshire would be able to respond to calls of nature without breaking stride if the 'Shewees' - a plastic funnel that allows women to urinate without removing any clothing - are given the go ahead by police chiefs. [More]

Enhancing respect for law enforcement across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Just don't p!$$ 'em off...

Hell, why stop with Number One? Why not just give 'em all Depends and let them waddle about the beat with soggy loads? And it would probably work better than belling a cat.

I can just imagine a foot chase...

Gibbs is right in this instance. The political left is "crazy."

His masters are counting on that.

Your Money or AND Your Life

"I Want Your Money" trailer: Professionally produced. Looks like a good top-level summary, albeit one that serves the GOP establishment, which had its chance. [Watch]

If you want to go deeper, for a more sobering look at why your money is only part of it, watch this.

NRA lets down TX (and all) gun owners with Chet Edwards endorsement

I expressed concerns over NRA characterizing Edwards as "a strong and consistent voice for freedom and for defending the rights of Texas gun owners, hunters and sportsmen" almost two years ago. If you look at the man's record, he's been neither. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another sellout endorsement even the "single issue" excuse doesn't work for.

Also find out why Elena Kagan is good for you (Harry Reid said it, I believe it, that settles it!) and why gungrabbing RINO Mark Kirk wants to be your new pal.

Then tune in to today's Trigger Sports Live! for a discussion on extremists--you know, folks like...uh...you.

We're the Only Ones Dropped Enough

“Lab tests showed the gun had been wiped clean,” reports the St. Petersburg Times. “No fingerprints were on it — not Victor’s, not anyone’s.” Either the mortally wounded teenager — despite being nearly cut in half by Ard’s cruiser — managed to wipe the gun clean in the seconds before he died, or Ard planted a “drop gun” to provide a retroactive pretext for his pursuit of the teenager.

After seeing the video, an investigator for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement asked Ard if he had planted the gun. The subject was promptly dropped when Ard denied that he had done so. [More]

No need to wonder what the cop was doing for the 40 seconds the dashcam showed him hunkering down by the body. Despite no evidence that he committed any crime and a life history that suggests he was an OK kid, the dead boy got what was coming to him and the officer followed protocol.

Just ask the judge.
