We're the Only Ones All Tapped Out Enough

Now we have proof that police are creating their own laws when it comes to wiretapping arrests. [More]
One point of confusion for me: I haven't seen the term "wiretapping" used to describe recording a police encounter.

Everybody knows about the Illinois case, right? Talk about tyranny via intolerable acts.

I've got a whole category here I never intentionally set out to create.

And here's the "go to" site on this.

Unintended Consequences

Consequently, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders. [More]
Business is booming.  What the antis don't get--or won't admit--is that in spite of what happens in November, Americans who get it are voting now.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

Just spoke with Mike.  They probably will not release him today after all.They need to get...uh...things moving.

There are some Gunwalker-related story developments happening in the background. 

Republican "Leadership"

Asked for comment about whether they were pressing for a vote on the measure, House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) offices said only that they do not handle the schedule of the House floor. Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) office, which does schedule the floor agenda, did not respond to numerous email and phone requests for comment. [More]
So the Gutless Odious Poltroons are "rankled," are they?

Hope and Change

What?

I think it would be funny to circulate $10 bills with this written on them--I wonder how many calls the Phoenix Field Division would get from...uh...hopeful suitors?

Fast Pass

Look what came in the mail yesterday:
This just ain't right. What's this "elder" crap? True story: I took the wife to a reunion concert by a band I used to listen to in college. The lead singer came out with a cane.

The whole business of "senior discounts" should not sit well with those paying higher prices to subsidize them--those offering them are being generous with other people's money.

This Day in History: March 23

"The Marquis de la Fayette is to serve under the Count de Rochambault who is going to the succour of the United States of America with eight regiments of chosen troops. The squadron destined to protect this convoy & to act upon the coasts of the continent of America...that the French are preparing a powerful embarkation to make one great effort in favour of America... Let America take care how she trusts such a force on her continent, for it is morally certain the subjection of that country to France is intended... that since the retreat of the French & rebels from Georgia that province is restored to a state of perfect tranquility. Those who had the insolence to refuse his Majesty's gracious offers of protection & security... have at least, either through fear or from conviction, submitted & enrolled themselves amongst the King's liege subjects..."

Sorry I Brought it Up...

I apologize for pissing off some Indiana gun owners by writing that visible, coordinated and organized grassroots leadership is needed to oust Richard Lugar. [More]

I Wish I Could Say "Unbelievable"

The problem is, it's totally believable. [Read]

Oregon gun group says rights delayed are rights denied

The utter gall of those "officials" is almost unbelievable and the implications are intolerable. They have posted a message on their “challenge line” telling callers they “will be delayed at least a month and don't even bother to leave a message before a month has gone by since they will NOT call you back.” [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes you can't only not place a call, you can't even leave a damn message.

Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah...

Someone's in the kitchen I know...[Read]

A Different Drummer

I don't know about "true friends," but certainly better ones... [Read]

Vanderboegh Medical Update

He's still trying to move things along and they're still talking about releasing him tomorrow.  So don't send any more cards to the hospital.

How Guns Are Found at Mexican Crime Scenes


Any questions?

This is from back in 2009. Be sure and check out the grenades in the video. I'm sure they straw-purchased those from a U.S. gun shop.

An Unsupported Conclusion

If Trayvon Martin had been approached by an officer who identified himself as such, rather than a strange man who jumped out of an SUV and chased him, he would almost certainly be alive today. [More]
Really?

We're the Only Ones Piercing Enough

Virginia Beach officer accused of stabbing firefighters [More]
And as a first year officer he's still on probation? Looks like he made the cut.

We're the Only Ones Taking It Off Enough

Officer Ingo Mayer pulled the men's Cadillac over in December 2005 for no apparent reason and then handcuffed and detained Lucas.

Mayer then undid Lucas's belt buckle, causing his pants to fall down to his ankles and shook his boxers against his genitals after pulling them down half way... [More]
I wonder what disability caused ol' Ingo to take early retirement?

The Ultimate Outcome

These people cannot be reasoned with. They feel, they want – and they hate. Your quaint notions about property rights being the essential foundation of human rights are like the Latin scrolls of Cicero trampled underfoot by the hordes of the Germanic chieftan Odoacer as Rome slipped forever into that long good night. [More]
The ultimate outcome depends on us.

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

Officers tell us they fatally shot the boxer to prevent it from attacking officers. The pregnant chihuahua was caught in the line of fire and was also killed. [More]
Thank goodness the police chief reviewed it to determine if it was justified!
