We're the Only Ones Absolved Enough

Police Raid Wrong Home, Scare Elderly Couple [More]
And naturally:
They left a copy of the warrant, but he absolved himself of any responsibility for the raid or the damage," he told the Tribune.
Interesting word choice there...

We're the Only Ones Losing It Enough

The police officer at a South Carolina high school has been suspended after he lost his gun at school. [More]
I like how they're offering "amnesty" for whoever turns it in.

Reminds me of the story of the old man and the talking frog...

Opposite Day Redux

The "Authorized Journalists" can endorse NRA-"A"-rated Sharron Angle, but the NRA can't.

Even though she's so close their nod could put her over the top. They won't.

Opposite Day

[T]here is "significant evidence that some security contractors even work against our own coalition forces, creating the very threat that they are hired to combat." [More]
Imagine that!

Intruder Alert

Sorry, but if an intruder is in my home at 3:30 a.m., I have no way of knowing his intent and am under no obligation to give him a chance to carry it out. [Read]

Looks like another case of opening his yap because he thinks if only he can explain his side of things, the authorities will understand...

A Red's in Progress?

Gun City in Nashville loses court battle, could lose license over paperwork [More]
It's not like we haven't seen that before...

We're the Only Ones Outsized Enough

But it is thanks to their outsized powers of observation... [More]
Huh?
The cops' standout work included spotting the butt of a handgun sticking over a suspect's pants...
That's simply amazing!

Somebody call Stan Lee!

Bigotry against gun owners on display at street fair

They were not there "to debate." They were there to insult, to resort to the childish tactic of questioning the manhood of the open carriers, and to chastise them to "get a life" in a song written especially to attack the gun rights advocates. In other words, these "community leaders" were there to stir up crowd ugliness against a minority they disapprove of. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at prejudice, ignorance and official arrogance in an affluent beach community--ostensibly from the very people who would condemn such attitudes when they are politically incorrect.

"The Science Behind the Concept is Wonderful"

They even have a formula:  C+I=UI. [Read]

Nominate Your Hero

Good grief.  [More]

I nominate this guy, for when he was Attorney General. Based on results, many at Fairfax agree.

JBTs Without Borders?

A Thai court on Tuesday removed a key legal obstacle to the extradition to the U.S. of an alleged Russian arms smuggler dubbed "the Merchant of Death." [More]
So, like, extradition can flow both ways, right? If the U.S. turned one of us over to a foreign government, they wouldn't have to observe our domestic Constitutional protections, would they?

Kind'a makes one wonder why anyone should go gentle into that good night...

We're the Only Ones...

...At the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time Enough

...Flashy Enough

...Aggravated Enough

...Indicted Enough

..."Nauseating and Disgusting" Enough

...Closing Enough

..."Blocking the vehicle is one thing, running the person over is another" Enough

Enough already.

Where Credit is Due

Citibank has discriminatory anti-gun lending policies. [Read]

Make that known. They're not the only usurer out there.

My suggestion--if you need a line of credit/business loan and don't have a satisfactory relationship with a local institution, check with the ones who offer cards to the gun rights advocacy groups.  Just make sure they don't have those damn "No Guns" signs posted at their branches.

It's awful hard to find an honest loan shark these days...

The One-Legged Stool

There are fortunes to be made promoting gun control. [More]
Yeah, but without factoring in lives and sacred honor, something they wouldn't understand, these greedy subversives may find themselves in a wobbly position and then flat on the ground. 

I much prefer a solid chair, anyway...to sit back in and read Howard Nemerov's latest offering at Pajamas Media, and for other purposes as needed.

Texas police theft illustrates futility of total 'gun control'

Understandably, the government is portraying this as "an unacceptable blemish on the integrity of law enforcement in Liberty County." Perhaps.  But what is also unacceptable is the systemic lack of controls and accountability that would lead anyone to think they could get away with such a scheme--repeatedly and over the course of years. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at how, under government management, total control can turn into just the opposite.  Say, maybe we shouldn't be fighting it so hard...

Also listen to the sounds of silencio greeting Kurt Hofmann, and watch this week's program and answer a poll over at American Trigger Sports Network.

This Day in History: October 7

Daybreak Commander Colins faced with the decision to follow the original plan and continue up the Little Egg Harbor River and destroy "The Forks" and the iron works at Batsto or to abort the mission, since the element of surprise had been lost. [More]

Uphold Sensible California Gun Law!

"The people of California have made the reasonable decision to keep people from legally carrying loaded guns in their streets, parks, and businesses, unless law enforcement determines someone has good cause to be armed,” said Brady Center President Paul Helmke. “The Constitution does not require people to be subjected to the grave risks of more loaded guns as they go about their daily lives. The Second Amendment should not be rewritten as a mandate for the gun lobby’s ‘any gun, anywhere, for anybody’ agenda." [More]
Hey, isn't that basically the same position this guy took when he had a say in such matters?

SAAMI, How I Love Ya, How I Love Ya...

Not. [Read]

More "enforce existing gun laws" crap from the kapo industry collaborator...

"Safe storage," "gun free schools," background checks...

With "friends" like these...
