5 Questions...
Happy Halloween!
[Via Len Savage]
UPDATE: Sean Sorrentino points us to a follow-up.
"A Staunch Gun Advocate"
I actually condone this action...Gun owners - be reasonable. [More]
Tell you what, why don't you do what you want and stay the hell out of my private affairs?
You call for more "gun laws," make a point of telling everyone how law-abiding you are, and then turn around and tell us "Even if a business is posted, I carry anyway."
If the antis were really for "reasonable" background checks they'd be pushing for BIDS, which would allow for those without creating a purchase record. But what they're really interested in is that purchase record.
In the meantime, we don't need useful kapos ceding ground in the guise of "staunch gun advocates."

Unpreppers
"I don't have any lights and need this gasoline for my generator," Abdul Rahim Anwar told Reuters as he waited at a Getty service station in Gowanus, Brooklyn. [More]What? Abdul, old sport, you didn't know a Big-Ass Hurricane was coming your way?
And now it's "to each according to his need"?
Won't things get interesting when something even bigger, more widespread and longer-lasting comes along? They still might.
Yet "preppers" are figures to be ridiculed and even demonized.
Hey, maybe we can charge them with hoarding and "take back" what should rightfully be mi...uh...ours.
Students Teaching...
I guess if someone really wants to be offended, they'll find a way. If this is all they have to worry about, life must be pretty good.
S.T.A.R. reminds me of that group created by Al Capp...
Still Plagiarizing After All These Years
"As they say in my business, I'm going to give you the whole load today," said Biden. [More]I guess a leopard never changes its spots.
But really, word-for-word?
Giving the Devil His Due
“It's about time we start taking this sh—back," the youth, who identified himself as Jesse James, told the Daily News. [More]Right, because you've no doubt spent a lifetime putting so much in and giving so much, so it's your entitlement.
This Day in History: November 1
That such of the sixteen additional regiments as have not been annexed to the line of some particular state and all the seperate light corps of the army, both of horse and foot, [(Colonel Hazen's regiment, Colonel Armands and Major Lee's corps excepted)] and also the German battalion, be reduced on the 1st day of January next: that the non-commissioned officers and privates in those several corps, be incorporated with the troops of their respective states, and that such of them as do not belong to any particular state, be annexed to such corps as the commander in chief shall direct.

Gun ‘Buybacks’ Endanger Citizens, Help Crooks and Crooked Officials
“The idea is to cut down on the amount of potential guns that could be stolen during house breaks,” the mayor is quoted as saying. If someone were breaking into their house, would the people he’s appealing to not wish to have the means to protect themselves and their loved ones? Would Hizzoner? [More]I just posted this short piece over at AmmoLand.
Texas church bludgeoning shows no place is safe from violence
Whether or not the church in Forest Hill was posted is unclear at this time. What should be crystal clear is the law, particularly if criminal penalties can be applied to those unwittingly violating it, or if it has the consequence of discouraging people from protecting themselves. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that purposeful obscuring of rights creates a clear and present danger that may not be resolved solely with prayer.
Burden of Proof
And if you have evidence that your use of force was justified, it’s the state’s burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn’t. [More]So what we need is a system of guilty until proven innocent? Do you think Emily Bazelon ever listens to herself? And she's a Slate senior editor?
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. Jan Billeb, the executive director of the American Knife and Tool Institute ("Imagine Your Life Without a Knife"), claims that the overwhelming majority of knife crimes are committed with kitchen knives. [More]And people on the terror watchlist can get them! Without background checks! Something must be done! For the children!
We're the Only Ones Demonstrative Enough
Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police. [More]Why no criminal charges?
Sorry, stupid question...

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]
