We're the Only Ones Not Passing the Smell Test Enough

Police smell meth, raid home, kill 80-year-old man, find no meth [More] 

This guy Steve Whitmore is a real piece of...work.

Damn Lax American Gun Laws....

...it adds to the toll of lives taken with weapons trafficked by suspects U.S. officials watched but did not stop. [More]

Ah yes, more fallout from Project Bombwalker...

Say, maybe if we required border gun stores to report multiple sales of grenades and IEDs...

DOD ‘authorized leakers’ directive bodes ill for whistleblowers

Pointing out parallels and equivalence between “authorized leakers” and “Authorized Journalists” hardly seems unfounded. Extrapolating the same principle, it’s easy to envision Dianne Feinstein demanding special protections for “real leakers,” and Joe Biden envisioning how “legitimate news leakers" can help the administration advance its goals.

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the new protocol for getting government‘s OK to ta…uh…make a leak.

Minority Report

From the files of the Department of Pre-Crime... [Watch]

Hey, if you never intend to do anything "wrong" by breaking any laws, including those that haven't even been written yet, you've got nothing to worry about.

Does Not Fit the Narrative

I don't get it. I mean, Violence Policy Center calls 'em "Concealed Carry Killers," and has done Google searches and everything to come up with a handful of anecdotes over the years... [More]

Freezing Your Assets off

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared closely divided on Wednesday on whether criminal defendants can challenge a court's decision to freeze their assets before trial. [More]

What kind of idiot thinks we're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty?

Besides, no one cares about this, as the ongoing ordeal of the Reese family demonstrates. I prove that every time I publish an update about them and watch readership plummet after begging readers to share what no one else will report on, and maybe kick a couple bucks their way.  But I keep doing it anyway, because I'm stupid or something.

No Big Deal

Was it good for you? [More]

Hey what do you expect? It's Yale.

Lux et veritas!

EXACTLY!

Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois said the lesson of the episode was that Boehner should cut out the far-right flank and work with centrist Democrats. [More]

J**** C*****, where do they get these f****** idiots?

A Question for the "Enforce Existing Gun Laws" Crowd

So when this passes, that sentiment will apply here, too? [More]

A Message for Nigel

Some Brit from the UN presumes to condemn "Stand Your Ground" as a human rights violation, but is frustrated by those bloody rebellious tea-partying colonists. [More]

I say, Nigel, old bean, do try to enforce your demands, there's a good chap.  And Happy Up Yours at Yorktown Day!

This Day in History: October 17

Excuse for firing clerk over gun defense reeks of corporate double-talk

“At Nouria Energy, our employees are our most cherished assets,” they unctuously proclaim on their website home page. “Their safety and the safety of our customers is priority number one.” 

Somehow, the immortal line spoken by John Vernon in “The Outlaw Josey Wales” comes to mind. [More]

This afternoon’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes gutless corporate management sure makes those gas station stores convenient – for predators.

Supreme Court gun case decisions highlight uncertainty of outcomes

Why the court rejected the Woollard case, and what they will ultimately decide in Abramski remain unknown. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a court that understands full well where power grows from.

The Mothers of Invention

Kurt looks at some of those mothers and their stupid invention... [More]

Have You Done This Yet?

And/or have you told people about it? [More]

Illegitimi Non Carborundum

I don't have an hour-and-a-half to watch this right now, so can't endorse it from personal experience. I'm trusting based on my source that it will prove worth the time investment. [Watch]

Deserving of Neither

More disturbing than the predictable push to eliminate privacy rights is the public’s utter acquiescence in the face of the growing police state. [More]

Liberty nor safety, that is.

Occam's Razor

If a power is not listed, then the federal government does NOT have that power. [More]

At least not lawfully and morally.  But practically, they have whatever power over us we allow them to assume.

We're the Only Ones Insulted Enough

Well, I never...[More]

Welcome to the party, pals.
