We're the Only Ones Judgmental Enough

A former state judge who pleaded guilty to takes bribes to dismiss traffic and misdemeanor tickets was sentenced to 5 years of probation, federal prosecutors said. [More]

Talk about something that merits a public hanging...I wonder who he bribed to get off so easy?  Or is that just standard "professional courtesy"?

Back Mack

Do you live here?

Then go here.

He needs volunteers and donations.

Praise the Lord Buddha...

From "Playing Gods"

...and pass the ammunition. [Read]

A deadly Thai insurgency has Buddhists scrambling for guns.

Good. If you meet the Buddha in the road, arm him. 

"Community-defense units." I guess that's the politically correct way of saying "militia."

LTE

Have you written one?

They Shoot Pigs, Don't They?

Evidently not. [More]

Some Disquieting Statistics

TCIRV offers some disquieting statistics: Just 2 percent of Toledoans commit 70 percent of the city's violent crime. Nearly 2,500 city youths belong to 25 active gangs.


About 85 percent of suspects in shooting incidents are black males. As much as 90 percent of crime in Toledo involves black perpetrators and victims. [More]

If only they would disarm racists like you and me...

They Call Me Mr. Kwaku Redux

Ghanaians Called Upon to Rise Against Gun Violence [More]

Ghana? You mean the place with a private ownership rate of .4 firearms per 100 people, where "legal" guns are outnumbered by "illicit" ones by an almost two-to-one estimate?

I had some business dealings with someone from there once.  I could have made a fortune.

We're the Only Ones Minding Our Own Business Enough

The top Tennessee Highway Patrol officer in this area, Capt. David Allred, has been demoted and one of his officers suspended, but state officials who made that decision remain secretive about the details. [More]

Yeah, what the hell makes you think police business is your business?

Doggone Offensive

Ted Kennedy BFF Orin Hatch is doggone offended by people of conservative and libertarian principles. And he's going to punch them in the mouth for dumping on him.  [Read]

And the GOP establishment will help him do it, doggone it.

Project GunTALKER

Mark Walters has posted last night's Armed American Radio program.  I came on at the end of Hour 2 and stayed on for the Hour 3 "Roundtable."

Hour 1:

Fresh from the floor of the NRA annual conventions, back in the AAR Atlanta studio, Mark welcomes Niki Goesser, Stephanie Samford, and David Bray.  Niki gives us the latest news on her husbands murderer’s trial and conviction.  Stephanie, from the NRA gives us the update on the convention from St. Louis and David Bray, lead singer of rock band Madison Rising discusses the bands joint appearance at Galco Gunleather with Mark, Kathy Jackson and Rob Pincus.

Hour 2:

HUGE HOUR! Mark received a call from famed economist, author and Fox News Contributor, Dr. John Lott who was in between flights in Chicago. John and Mark discuss his new book, “Debacle” co-written with Grover Norquist. John pulls no punches discussing the failure of Obama and his policies as well as ties everything together with this president’s gun-hating agenda. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!!!

Hour 3:

The Roundtable includes David Codrea and a very special call from AAR resident Navy SEAL, Larry Yatch!!!  David and Larry bring expertise found nowhere else!  The AAR Roundtable….the FUNNEST hour in national radio!

Credit Where Due

Oh no, this gentleman informed me (and I didn’t get his name, sorry, he split while I was fussing with my computer). Chris Cox had been on top of the situation for a year before David and Mike jumped in and used the information Cox had gathered to write their posts. [More]

It's all true.  I plagiarized everything I've ever written on Gunwalker from NRA--particularly most of the stuff appearing here. And Mike is sorry for that "weinermobile" crack.

Can they ever forgive us?

So When Will the Hilarity Ensue?

This snarky Bookman character isn't as witty as he thinks he is. [Read]

I'd like to see him use his smug sense of relevance to the debate on someone willing to slap his cheek or worse, that is, someone who initiates force as a matter of self-interest and without giving it one second of moral evaluation.  Such creatures do exist, you know.  All over the damn place.

I doubt it would be an NRA member, but possibly hilarity would ensue. Or maybe not.

No charges filed in Fast and Furious suspect’s drug and gun bust

Left unsaid about that is why no charges were filed, albeit the Fox report acknowledges a motive advanced by “critics...[More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report provides further corroboration, not only for yesterday's column, but for a motive advanced by those shining a light and disparaged by those trying to keep us in the dark.

Project GunTALKER

I'll be joining Mark Walters on Armed American Radio tonight at 9:30 Eastern to talk about the latest Gunwalker revelations.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

This time he called me. That's a good sign.

He understandably sounds weak but says he's doing a little better than yesterday although it's "premature" to guess when he'll be able to get released from the hospital. He said he may post something later today.  I cautioned him against overtaxing himself, but acknowledged having the motivation to reengage may be the best medicine.

I still ask you to hold off on emails and Sipsey Street comments that he will feel compelled to address.  I've told him about the well-wishes and prayers, and he's very gratified.
