We're the Only Ones Humane Enough

Republicans fail to address ATF Fast and Furious criminality in Jones hearing

For reasons presently left unsaid, the prospect of criminal prosecutions appears to encompass territory that no Republican has so far dared to even mention, let alone lead a serious scouting expedition into. It would seem fair for interested citizens to ask why not, if the GOP leadership is discouraging that, and if so, why. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report wonders what other profession would treat actions leading to untold violent deaths as a personnel matter, and why the Republicans seem oblivious to even bringing that question up.

We're the Only Ones On the Market Again Enough

A jury has convicted the former police officer of first-degree murder for killing his wife, Vashti [More
I expect he'll have no shortage of suitors ... which is, in itself, a damning indictment of the aptly-named "criminal justice system."

Signs of Sickness

Whitehead said the agencies are looking for “anti-Obama views that can be interpreted to reflect psychological problems of sufficient seriousness to disqualify the veteran from ever owning a firearm.” [More]
Yep, we obviously need to add Obamaphobia to the list of disqualifiers ... although even wanting a gun ought to be all the indicators the government needs...

Suffer in Silence

Or else. [More]

I'd like to say "Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town," but in truth, this is probably going to become the new normal, meaning people who really need some help now have powerful incentives not to seek it.

What's the State?

What they are doing is using the forms for the two week wait period we have to compile a list of firearms owners, bypassing any sort of registration. [More]
I'm inferring from this that he's talking about Connecticut?

Anybody know anything about this?

UPDATE: See comment from Rich Burgess.

If This Be Treason...

CSGV characterizes oath to obey Constitution as 'treason' [More
Of course they do. That's because they know what the penalty for treason is.

It's funny, seeing some on our side argue that the ultimate goal of "gun control" is confiscation while the collectivists ridicule that. That's because they know what their ultimate goal is.

Does anyone doubt what those who publicly call you treasonous would like to see done with you?

Ask Our Experts

To speak with our experts on this topic, please contact:
Print: Katie Peters (economy, education, health care, gun-violence prevention) [More]
And just how much "gun violence" has Katie prevented to merit the designation of "expert," and/or what other qualifications does she have?

Besides "a degree in Education and German"...?

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Voluntary" Is

For instance, what would happen if you refused to "volunteer" to stop at their roadblock? [More]

The shape of things to come. You have to wonder what kind of person would willingly go along with this.

Paging Lee Greenwood...

Betsy Johnson Update

OFF still has some questions and concerns. [More]

Watch today's hearing.  You'll need to start the player @ 17:11 in. [More]

We're the Only Ones Abominable Enough

“The amount of force used was abominable”... [More]
I laughed out loud when the one tried to drag her by the foot, pulled her shoe off and fell on his @$$.

I can't help but wonder how these guys would fare against someone who knows how to fight...

We're the Only Ones Back in the Saddle Again Enough

“I want everyone to keep in mind, this is a police officer who got injured on St. Patrick’s Day falling off his horse,” said Phil DiLucente, the defense attorney. “When he fell off of that horse, he has been on light duty and he’s on a lot of medication.” [More]
When I say "Whoa," I mean WHOA!

As someone who's had horses try to throw me, bite me, kick me, stumble under me and fight my decisions, disagreements I've always been able to lucidly resolve without resorting to either rage or cruelty, I'm wondering about the just "fell off" part.  I've also seen horses object to excessive weight ... just saying ...

And here's the thing about being on meds and resorting to rage, threats and racial slurs: Is it just the drugs talking, or the loosening of inhibitions ... ?

The Power of Dennis Herrera

"The gun businesses we've sued today think they've devised a clever end-run around California law by selling fully functional high-capacity magazines that have simply been disassembled into a few easily-reassembled parts," said Herrera. [More]
They think they're so clever, defying me! But oh, no. I'll get them. I'll get ALL of them!

A Ways to Go

As it stands now, some guns are being sold and are being handed over to the buyers before Maryland gets around to doing the checks. [More]
Make that "all guns" and we'll be getting somewhere toward restoring freedom...

If the Antis Had Their Druthers...

...she'd have been unarmed. [More]
