We're the Only Ones and You're Not Enough...

...and don't you forget it:
McKneely says Alexander called police immediately after the shooting. He told investigators he shot because Brown pulled at his waistline, McKneely said. [More]
See, that excuse only gets you a paid leave if you have the right professional credentials.

New York City Investigates Arizona Gun Show [More]
Didn't these evil control freak SOBs get warned not to try this crap in South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia...?

I think Arizona ought to send investigators to New York and tape a few gun sales taking place on their streets in spite of the best efforts of all the king's horses...and then post it on You Tube.

Or better yet, just dip Bloomberg's little rats in a big salty vat of transfats and blow cigarette smoke at them. 

The question here: Who are the "investigators"?  I doubt they're NY cops--more likely Arizona private dick fascists for hire.  Out the m...........s.

Subscriptions for silver [More]
Off the grid? What are they trying to hide?

Damned hoarders.

They're probably all gun nut racist survivalists, too.

Just look at one of the extremists they have writing for them.

There oughtta be a law!

You do have their site bookmarked, I trust...? And consult it often?

Long Overdue

"Stricter gun laws," that is. [Read]

Yeah, let's be just like New Jersey!

Either that or let's fight.

Do you think the useful idiots at the Star-Ledger have thought of that?

Will terrorists in next attack on U.S. enter from Mexico?

The softest targets would be so-called “gun free zones.”  And no doubt “assault weapons” would be used.

Leading to a frenzied nonstop blood dance accompanied by furious demands from opportunistic politicians, zealots and the media to further disarm Americans, rendering us even more vulnerable…

Is there any doubt that would be their reaction? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks an incomplete question.  How do we know they're not already here?

This Day in History: January 31

We have just now received very unpleasant intelligence from the West Indies, Mr. Bingham 'tis said writes from Martinico that General Grant had possessed himself of the Island of St. Lucia. Count d'Estaing having block'd up four British Ships of the Line, which were Iying in the Bason or Harbor, landed a body of Troops and attempted to force one of the Enemys works, these were severely repulsed, and the Count after having sustained a loss of upwards of fifteen hundred Men, had desisted from the Enterprise, and retired. He had been reinforced by four Ships of the Line from France, and two captured English Frigates. I have not time to enquire into particulars, but as the Account is against us, there is no ground for suspecting exaggeration. [More]

Mexican press picks up on 'Project Gunwalker'

Significantly, it makes a claim corroborating reports that have appeared in Gun Rights Examiner, saying an ATF employee spoke to El Diario to confirm allegations. It also marks the first time any newspaper has used the term "gunwalker."  [More]
Breaking--it's been a busy Sunday.

I trust some of the regulars here will appreciate that and help me spread the word by sharing the link?

Phoenix ATF reportedly retaliating against ‘Project Gunwalker’ whistleblower

I am told Sen. Grassley’s office has sent a letter to the acting ATF Director’s office and that the Associated Press has a copy of it. [More]

Brady anti-gun ‘faith’ coalition fails to stir evangelical fervor in multitudes

He maketh me lie down on green Astroturf? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column examines the roots of what was touted a short time ago as a growing religious movement, and notes it may not have sprouted so much as been installed.

We're the Only Ones Unplanned Enough

The accidental discharge was just one of 29 unplanned shootings by the city's police officers since 2005, when the department began tracking all shots fired, planned or otherwise. [More]
 Not just "Only Ones." San Francisco "Only Ones."

Hey, it's not like an example hasn't been set for them by top management...

Return to Snitchland: We're the Only Ones Taking Tips Enough

Ross and another woman, Malva Delley, are accused of collecting $250,000 in rewards for bogus tips to the Crime Stoppers program for more than five years. [More]
Gee, anonymous snitch lines lend themselves to abuses. By cops.

Who knew?

This is actually quite a useful bit of information to have--the next time there's some gun "buyback" or snitch line promising anonymity and no questions asked, here's proof that questions are asked, masks are publicly ripped off, and punishment will be meted out.

Snitchland

The individual was talking on a cell phone at the time of the incident. It's likely that is the object the passerby identified as a gun. [More]
Yeah, that's the kind of country I want to live in!

Ceding Ground

We urge you to restore the right to open carry handguns... [More]
No man has authority to do that, and we don't want to encourage anyone to think they do. You need to insert "recognition of" in there.
We acknowledge that limiting the privilege to conceal handguns in Florida to those over 21 years of age via a fee based permit system is a reasonable exercise of our state's police powers...
No, no, no. I don't acknowledge that at all.

Sorry, Sean. I don't mean to rain on your parade, and I'm glad you're showing initiative and leadership, but this could benefit from some review and revision work.

The Right of the People NOT to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed

Pacifists, too, have Second Amendment rights. [Right]
I agree with Mr. Madison:
In what was to become the second amendment, the right to bear arms, Madison proposed a recognition of the rights of what we would call conscientious objectors: "no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, shall be compelled to render military service in person."
That doesn't mean they have the right to impose their superstitions on me--matter of fact, one would think the First Amendment would specifically prohibit the government enforcing such dogma. That is, if honest men made laws and honest men judged based on them.

As for disparaging either hunting or self-defense or even militia capabilities of air guns, tell that to this guy.

Within Reason

It seems no restriction is reasonable for some of these gun-loving lawmakers. [More]

That seems reasonable to me. Much more reasonable than Journal Gazette editors blood-dancing and acting like they've given good reason to further enslave and endanger their countrymen with their fascist useful idiocy.

I wonder if "Authorized Cartoonist" Gary Varvel got either knee or jaw cramps drawing the accompanying illustration, and if he used the same McGruff for his model...? I mean, all things considered, it seems reasonable.
