Out of Sight, Out of Mind

"It's going to be really scary," Jennifer Maldonado said. [More]

From the "Peekaboo!" school of thought--the childish notion that if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

Daft as a  hairbrush...

On another note, look at all those on "our side" who have viciously attacked open carriers. Thank goodness we have activists willing to ignore them and press on to normalize and expand the recognition of rights for all of us--even their "pro-gun" detractors.

The Kitchen Loophole

It's hard to determine whether New York style anti-knife laws actually make the streets safer. According to the FBI, knives were used in 13 percent of homicides in 2010.

And people on the terror watchlist can get them!  Without background checks! Something must be done!  For the children!

This Day in History: October 31

HMS Ontario was a British warship that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario on October 31, 1780, during the American Revolutionary War. She was a 22-gun snow, and, at 80 feet (24 m) in length, the largest British warship on the Great Lakes at the time. [More]

It's a Shame We Have to Play Things Like This...

...but it looks like they intend to ignore it unless they can't.

Fortunately, by now I'm pretty used to this approach.

Physician Heal Thyself

[I]t is time for everyone to get the AAP message that "the most effective measure to prevent suicide, homicide, and unintentional firearm-related injuries to children and adolescents is the absence of guns from homes and communities." [More]

I Got Your Truce Right Here

The NRA could have, and should have, accepted President Obama’s invitation to sit together to discuss gun-rights legislation in 2011. The organization disappointingly refused the invitation for cooperation.[More]

Why? We know what he wants, you stupid Fudd.

The only truce that needs to be called is when those attacking us wish to surrender.  Do you really think the reason we won't "compromise" is because we're worried about protecting NRA salaries? And that the answer is more socialism?

Where do they get these guys?

This Day in History: October 30

"During the engagement Captain Anderson (a brave man and true Whig) was shot down by my side. He cried out - Oh Lord, I'm a dead man; what shall I do? - Adjutant Raiford who was as brave as ever lived, but who stuttered very badly, replied - Gu Gu_d in it l-l-lye close... poor Anderson's woound was mortal -- we were ordered [illegible], set out sentinels, and lay on our arms till morning."

‘Serious inconsistencies’ noted in ATF gun dealer reviews

“We have contacted ATF HQ regarding the inconsistent documenting of violations but to date have received no reply,” he explained. [More]

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the only standard at ATF seems to be the lack of them.

Issa, Grassley staffers issue second joint Fast and Furious report

To suggest the AG was still blissfully oblivious about the activities of his command at that time and under those circumstances, and remained that way until happening across mainstream news accounts some months later, strains all semblances of credibility, particularly when considered against the since-corroborated reports that had been compiled by free agents, with no official information resources at their disposal, compared to the unlimited network at his.
