A GOOD "Only One"

"If you think you are right, there is nothing wrong with being the only one," he said last year in explaining his fondness for the movie. "I have no problem being the only one." [More]

Me neither, if that's the criterion.

Better for Whom?

If I were a conscienceless predator, I'd agree.  More "gun-free" zones, please... [Read]

I'm Not So Sure...

...it's ignorance. [Read]

No doubt there are plenty of idiot "Authorized Journalists," but somewhere in the decision loop there's agenda and intent.

Is It Time Yet?

Law enforcement is failing to prevent American guns from fueling the war on our southern border. Maybe it's time to consider limiting the guns themselves [More]
Yeah, you go ahead and consider that.

No. Now what?

Melson 'sick to stomach' over Gunwalker

"We are disappointed that no one had previously informed him of that provision of the agreement. Instead, Justice Department officials sought to limit and control his communications with Congress. This is yet another example of why direct communications with Congress are so important and are protected by law." [More]

Complaint filed on lying Bloomberg ad

So what are we to do if we see a violation? The FCC says it focuses its content oversight on “obscene, indecent, or profane broadcasts.”

Well, I consider lying rights violators obscene, but I don't think that's what they have in mind.They hand false advertising off to the Federal Trade Commission...[More]

Archives are here.  It looks like they're going to post by the week and replace the show at each day's link the evening of the broadcast date.

Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others.  We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message.  Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a  part of it.

Lineup subject to change without notice.

"A Rough Patch"

And I suppose the dead people are unfortunate byproducts. [Read]


For the masters of hysterical anti-gun hyperbole, they certainly can calmly understate the case when it suits their agenda.

What's the difference between a New York Times editor and a domestic enemy?

It's not a joke lead-in--I'm asking...

I am the VIPR!

And no, unlike the old joke, they're not here to vipe your vindows. [More]

Obama: Good U.S.-Mexican relations demand we spare guilty and let innocent die

How telling that he does not place his emphasis or concern on an operation conducted under the authority of his administration that has resulted in estimates that up to 150 Mexican nationals may have been killed—people who were never given due process and their day on court, that is, people who are legally innocent. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes some curious life-and-death priorities coming out of the Obama administration.

This Day in History: July 5

July 5, 1779 at New Haven, Connecticut - In July, Maj. Gen. Sir Henry Clinton decided that he was fed up with the activities of Connecticut in Long Island Sound, where the Americans had continually harassed and ambushed his supply boats and raided across to Long Island. On July 5, he landed British detachments on either side of New Haven, and marched on the town. The local militia came out, and a body of students from Yale contested the British advance, but the locals were not in sufficient strength to offer more than nuisance resistance. The town was plundered and several prisoners were carried off.
Conclusion: British Victory [More]

Spelling isn’t only thing SNUG does backwards

And do you think those submitting art, poems and essays will be able to persuade the local warlords to give up their turf-feuding—along with their lucrative rackets—and give peace a chance because the Kumbaya sincerity of the artistic pleas will quell their baser ambitions and move them so? [More]

Thumbs Down on S&W Lawsuit

The civil lawsuit claims Smith & Wesson negligently designed and inadequately warned consumers about the dangers of a large-frame hunting revolver. [More]
Huh--so you're not supposed to do this?
Todd held the pistol grip with his right hand and placed his left hand under the trigger guard of the revolver...
You know, just the other day, while clamping a rifle butt with my feet and gnawing on the muzzle while yanking back on the trigger with my thumbs I was saying to myself "I wish I had someone to sue..."
