We're the Only Ones Making It Up as We Go Along Enough
The LAUSD police officer who said he was shot and wounded in a confrontation with an armed suspect outside a Woodland Hills high school has been arrested, accused of making up the whole story. [More]I'm sure it was the first time for him.
And I'm sure he was the "Only One."
No?
And best of all, they won't have to remove this shooting from their guncrime statistics that they use to justify disarming you and me!

What do ‘sporting purposes’ have to do with Second Amendment?
The sporting purposes/militia suitability fraud gives the government cover for the perfect Catch-22 pincer strategy/squeeze play: You can’t have this gun because it has military characteristics. And you can’t have this gun because it doesn’t have military characteristics. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a rigged outcome.

The Shape of Things to Come?

And just watch the fallout when one or more of these sons of the desert does a Beslan copycat act in one of our domestic "gun free/Harris-Klebold empowerment zones"--especially if they use "assault weapons."

Furthermore, I believe the Second Amendment is in the Constitution to provide the last defense of a free people against a tyrannical government. [More]And that's why I'm publicly calling for civil war!

Lott on Magazine Bans
From John Lott:
For those interested, here is a debate that I had on magazine size limits on Southern California Public Radio.Give it a listen.
We're the Only Ones Illuminating Enough Redux
The shooting of an innocent, unarmed elderly Bronx man by a cop who was trying to turn on a pistol-mounted flashlight is at least the second accidental police shooting in the United States involving that flashlight model. [More]
Figures. The fallback position is blame the "combo."
Because we all know Furious Mike's "Only Ones" are so highly trained that they can be trusted with guns and you can't.

A Civilizing Influence
Write Your Congressman
Repeal the Hughes machine gun ban? For what it's worth, I agree with Ajax 22. [Read]
I discussed the way it "passed" here.
And there's a lot more detail here.
I wish I had more time to spend on this, but I'm afraid my plate is rather full at the moment. Perhaps someone else will find this a niche they'd enjoy occupying...a comment poster on my GRE column indicated he was giving it a try, at least as far as providing an information clearinghouse.
As far as taking political action, I frankly expect to see more energy expended on why there isn't enough "political capital" to go around. With the level of activism and engagement I see coming out of most gun owners, I can't say I disagree with that as much as I don't like it.

The Wrong Questions
Arizona reported more than 3,000 murders with guns over a nine-year span (1999-2007), according to CDC data. That amounts to six gun murders per 100,000 residents. The national rate was about four. [Read]Got any demographics for those residents? How many NRA members...? How many "prohibited persons"?
One of the best indicators of gun ownership is the level of gun-involved suicide rates, he said. The CDC numbers show Arizona ranked ninth in suicides with guns.Is it truly gun "ownership," which is a legal term, and not applicable to criminal class gun possessors suffering from addictions and a host of other poor life choices?
Y'know, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. I don't have time on what I'd hoped would be a simple blog post to go parse this article and find the data they left out in their presentation, but do note AZ seems to fare somewhat better than high gun control states like New Jersey, New York and California here--not that it establishes causality either.
For instance, guns would hardly seem to be a factor in gun-free Japan, and we still don't know what to do about the dreaded self-terminating "Only Ones" epidemic...

Border Vigilantes?
Lotta conflation going on here to tar those who believe citizens have a role to play in securing the border. [Read]

Reason to Believe
There is reason to believe that the Republicans may be on board. [More]Aw go on. Next thing you'll be telling us is My Man Mitthead tops their internal polling.
Oh, wait...
