We're the Only Ones Heroic Enough

A former Philadelphia police officer once hailed as a hero who sat next to the first lady during the 2009 State of the Union address was indicted yesterday after being accused of forcing two women to take heroin at gunpoint before raping them. [More

The Obvious Solution

Sue the $h!+ out of EMC if one of the schools they will cover is shot up. [More]

I'm sure if a shooter started opening up on kids, ol' Bernie Zalaznik would be quite the hero.

He's got "90 percent of Kansas’ 286 school districts"?

Be interesting to find out if any palms got greased to result in such market dominance.

Alamo, Washington

A coalition of Washington firearms community leaders is today launching a grassroots campaign to counter the well-financed gun control initiative backed by a Seattle-based gun control group, while also preventing firearms confiscation “by any government agency…without due process.” ... Another member of the WAC board observed that Washington “is the Alamo,” where gun owners are drawing a line in the sand and making a stand. National attention will be paid to the competing initiative campaigns in Washington, because if gun prohibitionists essentially buy an election here, they will do it elsewhere. [More]
Dave Workman puts out an urgent appeal.  Please read this, share this, help with this and urge your gun-owning friends to do the same.

Bloomberg on Parade

His armed bodyguard was sentenced to seven years for attempted murder.

His AstroTurf  bus tour group is calling the Boston bomber a victim of gun violence.

This guy is like a gift.

One thing I want to caution everyone to be careful of is following false leads to where the next bus tour stop will be--unless you can validate it with an email from the No More Names/MAIG group, I'm seeing signs that some with an agenda may be spreading disinformation to send gun activists on wild goose chases.

The best way to validate is to sign up for notification yourself (noting which states the bus will tour to).

National Guard vs Militia: A Graphic Argument


Tony Wilson created a graphic from today's GRE that may prove useful in chasing liars up a tree and leaving them hanging.

Laws discriminate against sex as well as age in Illinois FOID case

Females are clearly being discriminated against by federal law, as they are excluded from recognition as members of the unorganized militia on the basis of sex. That such a law would withstand challenge is doubtful without a redefinition of militia composition to recognize the realities of the role women are capable of and entitled to. That this law has been allowed to stand as written for so long, and that no bill has been introduced to recognize discriminatory exclusions that can be used to deny standing to women, is a discussion Gun Rights Examiner hopes to start with this column. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report starts a national dialogue on the composition of the "unorganized militia" that needs to end with a revision to U.S. Code.  Which politician will have the guts to introduce a bill, and how will those who oppose it justify such blatant, gender-based discrimination?

JPFO offers chance to win gun denied to NYPD

Serbu Manufacturing had been contacted by NYPD SWAT for a quote on this rifle, but refused the business, explaining that if it was not legal for New York gun owners to buy one, then they would not sell it to New York law enforcement. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report explains how you  can own what Bloomberg's Finest are denied in this example of morally-imposed "gun control" brought to us courtesy of Serbu Firearms and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.  But you'd better act quickly before the remaining drawing tickets are sold.

The Content of their Character

"Using the Abused" With Natalie Foster [Watch]

Ask yourself just what kind of person would rather see a woman abused than armed, and what kind would rather give all physical advantages to her assailant.  The words "sick misogynist" come to mind.

Too Much, the Magic Bus

Just received this email from Mack H:
Bloomberg bus arriving at Va. Tech, Blacksburg, VA, Friday 6/21 9:30AM‏

From some of my emails:

Fwd: The number to call is 212-788-2439 for a ticket to attend. 

I just called that number to "get a ticket", and was told that no ticket is necessary - event is open to the public, and in a public venue, near the B-burg police station. I was advised that I could bring family,friends & neighbors... "to get the public out in force". We should be there in force too, and to hand out GSL stickers!

Well then, Bloomberg is coming to our backyard. Thought you should know.
I called the number too--it sounded like a private number as the woman answered by saying "Hello."  She confirmed no tickets were needed.

I'd like to see some further confirmation from others in the 24060 - 63 zip code area, just to make sure no one is setting up wild goose chases -- I mean, the antis wouldn't lie, would they?  I'd like to see an actual forwarded MAIG email from someone whose 2A cred can be validated.

You all know how to sign up and everybody has, right?

UPDATE: Discussion here.  One thing I'm getting from this is they may be doing these things within 1,000 feet of schools wherever they can... 

I still need to see an actual MAIG email.   Otherwise, my suspicion will be they're trying to send pro-gunners off chasing their tails.

A "Small Crowd" in Paradise

In response to yesterday's "Small Crowd" post, I just received this email:
Aloha David,

We (The Hawaii Rifle Association) had our annual Shooting Sports Fair this weekend. Even here is the overly restrictive Island (but not gun...) paradise, we had hundreds, if not thousands show up to shoot our large variety of guns....

Oh, and lots of families with children of all ages.

Here's one picture of the lines at just one venue.....

Why I Got My CCW Permit

1) It’s my Patriotic duty... [More]
I don't mean to be disagreeable or anything, but that's pretty much why I refuse to get one.

Yeah, I know, that makes us all look bad and I ought to work to change the law if I don't like it.

Ain't that right, Henry?

We're the Only Ones Blazing Away Enough

"Cops are shooting from the front of the car, back into the rest of the on-coming traffic to the check point, into the rest of the innocent civilians down the road," said Cleerdin. [More]

There can be no peace with such as these. Candidly, that suits me fine.

The elites are obviously immune to the dangerous, desensitizing and character-debilitating effects predicted by Strobridge Elementary Principal Charles Hill.  It's only us lesser, non-"progressive" beings and our unruly offspring who need to be controlled.
