We're the Only Ones Taking Our Licks Enough

Why?

If "gun violence" is down, why would "gun control" groups demand a course change?

Kurt Hofmann spells it out for us.

Burke bill to exempt museums on guns highlights Chicago elitism

“But it turns out Burke really didn’t need to obtain all these licenses to be able to carry a weapon … thanks to a law that dates back to 1872 that delegates mayors and aldermen as peace officers,” NBC Chicago reported in a December profile that also reveals how, in a political dispute with then-mayor Harold Washington, “After saying he received threats, Burke was given a four-man bodyguard detail.” [More] 

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a savage from a primitive era, suitable only for a museum exhibit reminder of a barbaric past.

Gun owner charges Quincy Police profiting by illegally selling seized guns

“As you can see from the sales slips, the Quincy police are pocketing thousands of dollars at a time by illegally depriving gun owners of their property and selling it off at a fraction of its value, and this practice has been ignored by state authorities for years, even though the proceeds of any sales are supposed to go to the state treasury, and they are not,” Mirsky told Gun Rights Examiner.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes closing down a ring of gun thieves becomes much harder when they have badges.

A Mother's Journey

Minds can be changed if they have the right influence, as this special report from NRA shows. [Watch]

The training of children is also paramount, as much as the blood dancers find it more advantageous to keep them as ignorant as their useful idiot followers.

An observation from personal experience:  I'm delighted to see things worked out for this couple and differences were resolved.  Me, I took Sweetie to the range on, like, our third date, and her willingness and enthusiasm were big factors in helping me decide this was a person I wanted to get to know better. I can't recommend that highly enough for any of you in relationships you haven't committed to yet.

If she'd have been horrified instead, odds are we wouldn't have feral sons Uday and Qusay chained in the basement right now gnawing on intruder bones.

I remember when my Dad bought us BB guns when we were staying at a motel on home leave from an overseas assignment. We put up some targets and set up an impromptu range.  The motel management didn't mind and none of the guests thought anything of it.

Not Cut Out for This

A San Francisco sociology class -- figures.  Nothing like teaching useful life skills. [Read]


What actually caught my eye is the video, starting at 1:30. No magazine, and he ejects a round onto the ground... Go watch it.

The cutout gun reminds me -- I need to find a project for the dozen sponge guns I still have left.
