With Rights Come Responsibilities

Dolphins are so intelligent that they should be thought of as ‘non-human persons’ and given their own bill of rights, it is claimed. [More]

Good. It's about damn time we held those fish murderers accountable.

I Need to Work on My Directness

I just ran across this by accident while looking for something else:

"Likens"?

I thought I flat-out called them "national socialists."

Don't they teach you oberkapos how to read?

And Then Along Came Jones...

State Senate Republican Rick Jones said that this has become a major problem, especially within the gang community. “People are taking imitation firearms that look real, cutting off the orange end and then threatening people,” he said. [More]

Kind of like the stuff I had as a kid, without one problem ever. And because Michigan has no other problems.

Say, he wouldn't be this Rick Jones, would he...?

The Arms of the Angel

Well, not her arms... [Read]

The story is best read with Sarah McLachlan's ASPCA commercial playing in the background.

Low-hanging fruit certainly does generate press...

A Gathering Storm

So maybe they should take up their Second Amendment-sanctioned guns and storm Wall Street and our nation's capitals. If our country doesn't change, it could very well come to that one day. [More]

I wish the regressive left would get their stories straight about armed insurrection...

This Day in History: February 22

By a return dated Wethersfield, February 22, 1780, made by Major Benjamin Tailmadge [sic] of 2d Light Dragoons it appears that in six companies there were but I trumpeter, i [sic] farrier and 5 privates of " Mounted effective dragoons." The reasons given were " Horses much reduced, almost total want of accoutrements, boots and other clothing." Colonel Moylan reported, " Fourth...Regiment returned non-effective for want of breeches, boots, shirts and stockings." [More]

The Pinson Pipeline

Vanderboegh writes an open letter. [Read]

Funny thing about people with nothing to hide.  They do things openly.

Through the Roof!

Jeez, and to think the antis accuse NRA of shilling for the gun companies... [Read]

‘Bulletproof Mind’ empowers gun owners to prepare for, respond to violence

We also learn something that, again, sheep simply cannot comprehend and won’t believe—but some of us can and will: Lt. Col. Grossman’s ultimate inspiring message, and this comes out loud, clear and true, is one of love. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column reviews a seminar well worth attending.

The Surge

Violent crime so far this year in the District has spiked sharply — a 40 percent increase that includes twice as many robberies at gunpoint than at this time last year. [More]

I don't understand--just look how difficult it is to get a gun there.

Oh...

Y'know, if only we had the same kind of "gun control" everywhere else...

It All Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word "Rights" Is

Human rights groups expressed cautious optimism about the outcome.  [More]

You know, as in you have the right to have governments mandate and enforce their monopoly of violence and your imposed disarmament. What's so deceptively  Orwellian about that...?

Besides, it all depends upon what the meaning of the word "consensus" is...

True Colors

This is totally unbelievable. This man holds a seat on the NRA's Board of Directors, and he pretends to be a friend of gun owners. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I will never do so again.

For gun owners in Iowa, it is now clear that this legislator is an enemy. [More]

Which is another reason I harp on the importance of this every year...

Project GunWhat...?

Andrew Breitbart says the media is ignoring Fast and Furious. [More]

Heck, I could have told him that. Over a year ago. And numerous times since then.

What's ironic to me is, here we have plenty of documentation of breaking Gunwalker developments (from way before anyone in media had ever heard about it--and continuing through to right freaking now, where I'm trying to decide if a fresh tip is calculated disinformation designed to discredit sourced information Mike and I use or a breakthrough...Hint: I'll be calling Washington later this morning, and not the branch of government you might assume), and I can't recall even once one of Andrew's Big Government reporters approaching either of us--not to feature us, just to use stuff we've uncovered as a starting point for their own investigation.

They Shoot Intellectuals, Don't They?

Arguments about how that leadership has been and is being squandered and abused aside, if you don't lead you follow.  Q.E.D. [More]


I don't think this reveler is going to necessarily like his new masters as they give him an education he either never dreamed of or didn't think applied to him.

Fortunately, men he never meets in higher education circles--men he no doubt reviles--stand in the way of that.

This Day in History: February 21

I am to request that you will transmit me, as soon as possible, an exact Return of the number of the non Commissioned Officers and privates of your Corps, mounted and dismounted designating in a particular manner the states to which they belong, what proportion of them are inlisted for the War, and the different terms of service of the residue, digested in monthly Columns. Inclosed you have the form of a Return. [More]

A Pig in a Polk

Nope--nothin' about "Gunwalker." [Read]

The "Authorized Journalists" keep trying to tell us it just isn't a story...that some mere bloggers might think otherwise only illustrates our lack of professional standards...

UN Arms Trade Treaty: It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘consensus’ is

How unsurprising that the Clintonian "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is” deception has now been reanimated to apply to the word “consensus.” And how revealing of the character of those behind the move. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that words have meaning. And those who would redefine them have agendas.

We're the Only Ones Trained Enough

The training director for the Wisconsin Department of Justice is recovering from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand. [More]

Well, hell, if that can happen to a trained professional, we'd best just keep those dangerous instruments away from us mere amateurs...

Just a Typical Gun Owner for Common Sense Laws

"My son was shot and killed in 1997 and ... I don't want bad guys to have guns, it's simple," Jenkins said. [More]

What makes him think Rahm isn't a "bad guy."

And his "solution" is to register everyone who's not?  Because criminals don't have to register theirs.  Unless you're this kind of criminal.

And I like how Jenkins is presented as no lobbyist or activist of any kind, just an ordinary gun owner... That Samson Adams is quite the "Authorized Journalist," is he not?

Yeah, he's no activist, he's just someone who publicly argues not only for licensing and registration, but against concealed carry and owning "military grade guns"...and writes books, and supports the Bradys and the Million Moms--you know, just your typical gun owner who calls anyone who disagrees with him "insane."

Hell, he even advocates endangering our lives:

Report all instances of public gun possession outside of accepted areas like gun ranges. Insist that the police follow up on your call, because we can't trust gun owners.

Maybe one of us who are breaking no laws can get shot when they prone us out to get a paid vacation? 


My natural inclination is to feel sympathy and compassion for anyone who has suffered a soul-wrenching loss. But you don't get to attack, and then use that loss to shield from the deserved response anyone else would get.

For the Children

Looks like last week's submission wasn't good enough to make the cut.

Still, I can't help but notice something that is shocking, and that no tolerant progressive should tolerate!

We can't allow that! Who can we progressives, who look to government for everything, turn to in order to ensure that a child's safety and welfare are the primary concern?

California Department of Social Services to the rescue!

Gosh, it's almost as if somebody wants to create a dependency system crisis and resulting demands for even more government control...
