Elementary, My Dear Watson

We don't even need to invoke a favorite quote. The only "impossible" you have to eliminate is the argument of the antis. What remains is not only probable, it's what's evident. [More]

Deadline fast approaching for new Connecticut gun ban/registration edict

That raises a key question for gun owners opting for obedience: If an order is later given to surrender your registered firearms, will you also obey that? After all, the same justification and reasons can be given for doing that as are being given now, and the compulsion to obey would actually be stronger -- the “authorities” will now have conveniently coerced lists which you provided to assist them in identifying you, where you are, and what you have.

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner column notes time’s up. What will you do?

Selective Outrage

See, if "hate speech" is directed against gun owners, it's not news. [More]

Kalashnikov Dead

One hell of a designer... [More]

Listen to CBS blame the AK for "kill[ing] more people than any other firearm in the world."

Confidentially Yours

It appears to be a step in the right direction. [More]

Now the work needs to be done to keep the presumptuous bastards from getting your names in the first damn place. But the "groups" can't do it alone. Every gun owner must do his or her part and help in ways they can.

I think less of those who won't than I do of the antis.

UPDATE: Anthony Martin shares his observations.

One Thing You Can't Hide

Only the ethically challenged and morally disabled would want to harm the physically more vulnerable. [More] 

This give me an idea. I'm not ready to flesh it out yet, but it's based on combining this with the story about the African farmer and the leopard.

For the time being, take it away, Mr. Lennon...

BOHICA

The group, which McDevitt said includes a diversity of opinions, has met in private with advocates on both sides of the gun access debate, mental health practitioners and researchers, school officials and police chiefs from rural, suburban and urban areas. [More]

Really? They've met with someone from the "shall not be infringed" side? I must have missed that part.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Burlington, they've "yielded results."

Sorry, fellas. The "Authorized Journalists" covered for this miserable failure as much as they could without becoming obvious laughingstocks themselves.

I guess there'll never be a need to go "through every Middlesex village and farm for the country folk to be up and to arm" anymore.  Besides, they're probably all at Wegman's.

Piers Morgan shows as much contempt for First Amendment as he does for Second

You are free to pick and support your side or to ignore the whole sorry mess.

In Morgan’s fascist world, that choice would be taken from you. Let’s prove that together. [More]

What else we would expect from someone with such a demonstrable Stalinist bent? Good thing he’s so adept at karate!

Foiled carjacking shows different outcome potentials when gun owners have choice

The question here is who has the moral authority to tell another human being they do not have a right to defend themselves? [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner column tells "A Tale of Two Carjackings." Guess which one has a happy ending…?

A "Progressive" Paradox

Note the same ones who say gun owners are responsible for the reactions of hoplophobes would never say that gays are responsible for the reactions of homophobes. [More]

Maybe it's not a paradox at all... maybe it's just more "progressive" Opposite Day hypocrisy...

'The Gun Went Off" is No Longer Enough

Now, it actually instigates and controls the behavior! [More]

Cloistered eggheads said it, I believe it, that settles it.

No?
