We're the Only Ones Reprehensible Enough

“This man engaged in sexual relations with an underage girl while on duty,” said Bruning. “Today’s sentence ensures he is held accountable for his reprehensible crime.” [More]
And yet once more with that darn dating etiquette question...

Don't Worry

Dickey Lee Hullinghorst will save you! [More]

The Monthly Caller

The Daily Caller picked up another one of my monthly GUNS Magazine pieces, the one I did about B. Todd Jones being confirmed. [More]

Thanks for the kind sentiment in "comments," Kurt. A crisp new $5 bill is on its way.

It Would Be a GOOD Idea...

...to watch "Bad Idea" tonight ... [Details]

Shooting Grip Essentials

Pretty funny. [Watch]

But I agree with the commenter who said their pants are too high.

About Those "Outside Special Interests"

It's OK if they're anti-gun. [More]

It's just those meddling rights advocates we need to show "courage to stand up to," right, Chickenp ... uh ... Hickenlooper?

We're the Only Ones Smuggling Enough

And not in a good Mike Vanderboegh kind of way... [More]

Yo -- "Authorized Journalist/Real Reporters" Shimon Prokupecz and Jonathan Dienst:
...some capable of piercing buildings...
 Really?  You guys really wrote that?

And they "purchased guns through the internet"...?

How?

Oh, and "Some of the assault rifles were military-grade"?

Explain?

But for a Moment Let’s Enter the Wingnut World

OK, but just for a moment.  Any more than that will make my head spin. This loopy broad sounds like she actually believes her own line of manipulated statistics BS.  [More]

A few incidents within a smaller population will yield a higher RATE than many incidents within a larger population. And we can further break things down in terms of neighborhoods and demographics and pesky things like legality and...

But if we're going to stick with homicide rates, and if the problem really is the guns, I wonder what we'd find if we sampled what is arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet...

That Mary Sanchez looks about like a humorless ogress, doesn't she?  I can just picture her in a Mao suit, with that red star fatigue cap he wore...

What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate

“But yes, that’s the beginning of the semester,” it said. “I’m always optimistic. By October, I’ll be wanting to get up to the top of the bell tower with a high powered rifle — with a good scope, and probably a gatling gun as well.” [More]
I understand that the guy being an instructor and all makes such a post questionable, but this looks like hoplophobia writ large.  I find it hard to believe this is not just hyperbole and dark humor, and could have easily been resolved as such just by talking to the guy.

I mean c'mon, do these people have any idea, first, how expensive it would be to acquire a Gatling gun and then what it would take to haul it to the top of a bell tower?

Yeah, OK, in today's era of everybody in academia being an hysterical wuss with the vapors, I see where posting this on Facebook was poor judgement, but my biggest beef with the guy is that a communications professor should have capitalized the "g" in Gatling.

What we have here seems more than a failure to communicate.  What we have here is a chilling warning on what we can and cannot say on social media.  It seems to me the bigger danger is having the state automatically respond by sending in men with guns, prepared to kill us if we cross an arbitrary threshold between joke and threat.

A Path to [the] Citizenship

I guess if we call them "illegals," someone will take offense. [More]

How about "undocumented partisans"...?

Precinct Project provides blueprint to ‘take back Republican Party’

The Liberty Prize will help Dan Schultz continue pursuing a quest he has persisted on, at times all alone. This new recognition will help build awareness so others can discover the remarkable blueprint he has created for those aspiring to “the most powerful office in the world,” complete with step-by-step instructions, links to “How to guides and information by state,” videos and more. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report presents a novel alternative to complaining.  It's called getting involved and working.

Meanwhile, Over in the Constitution-Free Zone

Yeah, that Constitution-Free Zone. [More]

Just What IS Victoria's Secret?

In the interests of supporting a woman's right to choose, here are your choices, ladies, at least as far as your unmentionables go:

This.

Or this.

Why not dress for success?

UPDATE:
The link I included goes to the "rape-proof underwear" story, the second link above.

Meanwhile, Over at the Gun Free School Zone

Oh, I'm sorry. Did the sign also say "No Knives"? [More]

Physician, Heal Thyself

Organized medicine’s decades-long campaign to have firearm-related fatalities considered as a public health rather than a criminal justice issue is not evidence-based. Its reliance on weak, even tainted evidence and spurious reasoning, and its attempts to suppress or discredit contrary evidence, is consistent with a political agenda of incremental civilian disarmament. [More]
I wonder if Nature will issue a more complete correction this time...

If Only We Banned Guns

Oh, wait... [More]

Tastes Like...Victory!

That's quick thinking. [More]

I hope he chipped some teeth.

Campus Shooters

To the best of my knowledge, the only time the Garand was used in a domestic school shooting was when it was a service weapon deployed in the hands of the Ohio National Guard. [More]
Ah, see? It's happened!

My Flip-Flop

I just signed my support to this.

Now I'm having second thoughts.

Maybe we want them tied up over there...
