We're the Only Ones Nice Enough

Friends say Petersen is a nice guy who, on Sunday, let his emotions get the best of him. [More]
Yeah, I always pull a gun on people who get me mad when my emotions get the best of me.

Hey, if they'd just act the way I want them to, we wouldn't have a problem in the world...

We're the Only Ones Similar Enough

In the release, the sheriff calls the rocker "a great American" and says the two men have similar goals. [More]
Really, Sheriff? So you would remember your oath to the Constitution and not arrest him if he acted in front of you like "shall not be infringed" actually means what it says?  Assuming that's his goal, too?

Another Child Gun Death

Witnesses say the would-be carjacker, identified by the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office as Kenyon Reese Jr., 20, of Detroit, shot the victim, who fell to the ground, pulled out his own pistol, and returned fire. [More]
If only we could--I don't know--hold a vigil or something...

Flower Power

Gun violence victims honored with dafodils [More]
I wonder what actually works better--that or a "community vigil"...?

Me, I always preferred the "lie-in," but that's basically because I think motorcycles are cool.

Prohibit Prohibited Persons

Wisconsin's law banning all felons from ever possessing a gun violates the 2nd Amendment, according to a lawyer for a man who has challenged the long-standing prohibition. [More]
Speaking as an uncaught felon--and a "gun criminal" doing my utmost to "make us all look bad" at that, I approve of the concept.

Why did NRA give pro-gun candidate an 'F'?

NRA rates Diana Williams equivalent to this guy? Seriously? Even Harry Reid, who supported Obama, Holder, Sotomayor and Kagan got a "B." Not to mention close to five grand. "F's" should be reserved for enemies. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes with friends like PVF, who needs enemies? This is seriously unbelievable. There are a lot of pages to go over in the slideshow, so do reserve a few minutes for this one.

Also get the facts on that New Jersey gun owner, watch me interview some Brits in KY, and get more on those Korean guns.

Metastasizing

I bet one could also equate this animation with expanded government interference. [Read]

Look at how rapid and drastic this is.  Now imagine a sudden national catastrophe.

Everybody who thinks everything is going to be just fine after November raise your hand.

Supply and Demand

Just look how well prohibition works under total government control! [Read]

Economics as taught by Father Guido Sarducci at the Five Minute University...

What's that definition of insanity again...?

"What Do You Want?" Information.

No, this isn't the recurring opening dialog from "The Prisoner."  It's a plea for assistance from Jeff Knox at GunVoter.org:
If you have pro-rights candidates you are supporting, please post information about them in the appropriate state area at GunVoter.org.

We're the Only Ones Probational Enough

A former Pleasant Hill police officer who stole methamphetamine from an evidence room and crashed his squad car was sentenced Friday to probation. [More]
Comments indicate he suffered the loss of his family recently, so perhaps compassion is in order. For "Any Ones" acting out in such circumstances, not just "Only Ones"...

Haslam Pledges to Sign Constitutional Carry Bill

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Haslam says he would sign legislation to eliminate Tennessee's permit requirements for carrying handguns in public, meaning most Tennesseans could go armed if they choose to do so. [More]
Would he really?

From Leonard Embody, via email:
He showed up at a Tennessee Firearms meeting last night. Me and a couple of other guys including Richard Hamblen got him to say he would sign legislation. This helps pressure the legislature.


This has been spreading all over Tennessee. It is a big deal because Haslam has a B rating with the NRA. He was a member of Bloomberg's Mayors against guns. As Mayor he oversaw the banning of guns in Knoxville City Parks.

Pro-Gun "Progressives"?

So it's fashionable to be supportive of these national socialists, but not the other kind...? [Read]

"Wrong, Misleading and Deceitful"

I guess we should listen to the experts on that, and support the candidate who endorsed the guy NRA called "the most anti-gun president in American history," and who uses the perverted pejorative "teabaggers" to describe limited-government conservatives...?  [Read]

I suppose they oughtta know...

Should gun owners have their heads examined?

That's pretty terrifying. Why wouldn't Australians want to make sure people like this are disarmed?

Why wouldn't we?

Could we if we wanted to? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at one of the crazier citizen disarmament schemes out there.
