Deepest Sympathy

A Manitoba judge who expressed sympathy for a Winnipeg man who bought a handgun to protect himself says the law gives him no choice but to jail him, a move gun advocates say highlights the need for renewed discussion about Canadians’ right to self-defence. [More]
I haven't been this touched since the Walrus wept for the Oysters.

Note all the pathetic government worshipers in comments who endorse the idea of someone else defining their freedom for them.  And what can I say about Adam Bergen?  And still keep it clean?

If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains.

Romney says he can work with Democrats

You don't say. [Read]

Cummings, Schumer to hold ‘Gunwalker’ show trial against gun rights

And for those who say the suspicion that Gunwalker being exploited to justify more power for ATF and impose more “gun control” on you and me is a baseless right wing conspiracy theory, just what the hell do you think every effort by the regressive left to do just that, right in front of our eyes—from the gungrabber groups to the oath-breaking political whores to the “Authorized Journalist” Fourth Estate/Fifth Column—has been about? Just what the hell do you think tomorrow is going to be about? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary provides more proof of intent--not that it will stop those inclined to press on with lies in the face of it.

GRE Round Up for June 28

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Calling out excuse-mongering Jon Stewart and Media Matters on Gunwalker intent

Sorry, fellas—I realize I can’t match you for urbane snark or snotty punk judgmentalism, but that really seems to be the only hand you’re holding. So OK, smart guys, if finding U.S. civilian market weapons at Mexican crime scenes was NOT part of the objective—and then, once the joviality wore off, exploiting that information, then you tell us: How do you go from Phase 1, letting thousands of guns destined for Mexican cartels escape into the wild in the hands of straw purchasers, to Phase 3, bringing down “the big fish”?

How exactly does that work, smart guys? Explain it to us, oh wiser, more progressive ones.

What the HELL happens in Phase 2? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column accepts the call-out from media Underpants Gnomes.

The shocker is ABC News is reporting on it.

New Eminem video continues entertainment industry’s ugly portrayal of guns

No, what strikes me as curious about this piece—aside from the profound hypocrisy of the music industry when it comes to guns—is the gun itself used in the video: Is it real or is it a prop? [More]

This Day in History: June 27

There is a man on York Island living on or near the North River, of the name of George Higday who I am told hath given signal proofs of his attachment to us, & at the same time stands well with the enemy. -- If upon inquiry this is found to be the case (and much caution should be used in investigating the matter, as well as on his own account as on that of Higday) he will be a fit instrument to convey intelligence to me while I am on the west side of the North River, as he is enterprising and connected with people in Bergen County who will assist in forming a chain to me, in any manner they shall agree on.
