“I would have thrown [government informant Jose Roman] out of the store," the Las Cruces-Sun News reported Reese maintaining under oath. "I would not put my wife and sons in harm's way, ever." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there are those who are trying their utmost to do just that, and asks why the State Department can make an appearance here but not in the case where the government did what they're accusing the Reeses of.

All By Their Own Self
Look, guys, you did good, and no doubt you did quite a bit of the heavy lifting, and thanks and all, but good grief, what is it with you always taking all the credit?
Meanwhile, Over in Third-Ranked Brady Paradise...
Mass. dad shoots his 2 kids, 1 fatally, kills self [More]I don't understand.
Dr. Suzanne just got done telling us "In my own practice, most patients I ask about guns tell me that they don’t own any. This isn’t surprising because Massachusetts has one of the lowest gun ownership rates of any state (and, as it happens, the lowest rate of gun-related deaths)."
So that means we need "laws" even more draconian than they have in Kennedyland? What kind of "slippery slope paranoid" would think that's the agenda?
Ask Dr. Suzanne!
Dear Dr. Suzanne,
I hear this ticking noise coming from under the hood of my restored '65 Buick Special. It's got the old Wildcat 310 V8 and standard "three-on-the-tree" manual transmission. It does pretty good on oil and I checked all the belts and nothing seems to be leaking anywhere.
What would you recommended I look at next?
What? You have no fricking idea?
Well what makes you think you're qualified to give advice on gun safety and storage as if you're an authority and know what the hell you're talking about on issues outside of the practice of medicine? Just because you're a doctor?
What kind of gun safety training and certification have you obtained, and what are the qualifications of the accrediting body? Will you list your credentials for us?
Will your malpractice insurance cover you if someone gets hurt or killed listening to you because they were unable to retrieve and enable a locked and unloaded gun in time to respond to an emergency need? Will you assume personal liability if it does not?
See, after the car part, doc, you ought to be able to answer all of those questions if you're going to be responsible for your professional counsel.
If I were one of your patients, I'd insist on it.

For All You 'Slippery Slope Paranoids'
It could have happened here in New Jersey...Our laws have been ranked the nation’s second-best by the Brady Campaign...[More]So it could have happened in spite of that? Which means you want:
Hit it, Oliver Twist.
Nicely Done
The National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund says state Senate candidate Frank Niceley has been "deliberately misleading voters" by saying in campaign literature that his NRA rating is "A+" instead of the "C" that has was assigned for the 2012 primary. [Read]
In a way it's kind of funny to see a politician try to convince voters he's the darling of the NRA even when he's not. It's also kind of funny to see how realpolitik plays out against the contentions of the delusional.
Go ahead, turncoat wannabes: Listen to Oliver Willis. Believe him when he says "The NRA is a gang of very strange, conspiracy-theory spewing, racist, bigoted know-nothings who don’t give a damn about the safety of their fellow citizens. They would rather the streets be flooded with all manner of weapons rather than ever allow a single law or regulation that would govern the world of guns."
If we're going to have enemies, it's in our interests to keep them ignorant and have them underestimate us, and Ollie here is doing a splendid job of that.
Thanks, Ollie! Nicely done.
We're the Only Ones Suspended Enough
A 17-year veteran of the New York Police Department has been suspended without pay after a kidnapping victim was found tied up in his garage. [More]As if there's not enough clutter. But suspend your disbelief--I'm sure he has a good explanation, and, after all, that's why we call so many of Bloomberg's Finest the "Only Ones."

Scalia’s establishment take on ‘gun control’ should be no surprise to gun owners
For someone represented by the establishment as an “originalist,” Scalia’s views are anything but. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes things aren't always as they appear. "News" may not be news at all, and "conservatives" may be conserving something altogether different from what we're being led to believe.

Obama ‘gun control’ goes back under the radar
What these developments indicate is a restraint and political pragmatism on the part of the administration and party leadership , and a concession that citizen disarmament is a losing political issue. What this means is, barring currently unforeseen circumstances that diminish the threat of Republican gains, overt support for more legislation by politicians not from “safe” districts will be stifled, at least until after the November elections. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a quick muting, a foundering treaty, and a sneaky insinuation. In other words, enemies foreign and domestic are resorting to that old deceptive posturing that has always served them so well.
Priorities
I just found out that Heritage had an online chat about Fast and Furious. As of right now, 9 "likes."

The Best Vacation
Just got this email from friend Jack Burch and got permission to share it:
This sure beats what the antis recommend. You know, ignorance, avoidance and fear...
Good Morning David,Well, the "Authorized Journalists" may not report on it, but that's what us lowly bloggers are here for. This is vital work--if we don't have a next generation that's educated and involved, it'll be "Say good night, Gracie."
Had the best "vacation" last week. I had the honor of running registration and scoring for 600 kids at the 2012 Texas 4H State Games for shooting sports. Over 1000 kids shooting in 32+ events with firearms over a 6 day period. The really amazing part was not one person was worried about all these kids carrying a firearm. Not one accident. Not one injury. In the shotgun area alone over 250,000 targets were thrown over a 4 day period. If anyone wants to see the true face of gun owners they need to come to this event. I hear folks talk about how bad our youth are these days and have to think that my experience is tainted because I have the privilege of working with this group from all walks of life. Just once I would like the "media" to report on these kids.
Have a great day!!
