Mission Accomplished!

What was the mission again...? [More]

Thank goodness none of that applies here, where government monopoly of violence supremacy is unquestioned because resistance would be futile!

MAIG documents suggest misuse of public funds, conflict with Brady Campaign

MAIG had not yet merged with MDA at the time the information requests were filed, and the question of whether city facilities, assets, personnel and clock time were used to work on the Moms’ group operations and activities, in addition to MAIG’s, merits being looked into. Such an audit should include as many other personnel as may have been involved, along with relevant phone records, emails and time reporting, if applicable. Of interest would be if political advocacy posts on social media coincided with working hours, suggested by a preliminary investigation. [More] 

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a billionaire helping finance his hobby on the public dime. As outrageous as that is, I have to admit seeing his hatchet man slapping around the head of the Brady Campaign is pretty darn funny.

DeBlasio conspicuously absent as Bloomberg still listed on MAIG site

That this has evidently not happened yet may just be a bit of payback, or, if his resentment for past attacks is strong enough, DeBlasio may wish to pursue an independent “gun control” agenda without giving any support to the Bloomberg efforts altogether. If that turns out to be the case, it would be a major embarrassment, not to mention a supreme irony, for Bloomberg to lose his flagship New York City at the same time he is expanding MAIG efforts into the states.

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a personality clash between petty egotistical tyrants and does what it can to help egg on a full-blown feud.

The Eliot Ness Building

[More] 

The retro cable channel replays "The Untouchables" reruns late every weeknight and I've been watching them.  Audiences back then never asked "Why?"

Mike has some interesting commentary, including about the real Eliot Ness.

And yes, he has been the patron saint of ATF and of all the Jr. G-Men, too.

"ATF for Kids"... Good God.  Do they really pay someone to do a monthly "word search" puzzle, and doesn't that just scream for a parody where you can find the names of the kids listed here?

I just wish they'd bring back the drawing contest.

Gunny Ermey Lion Kill Evokes Visceral Reactions

...cowardly and cruel... sickening snaps... [More]

Y'know, that does work on the emotions. For instance, in me, it stimulates the urge to break out my Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray and enjoy one of those cigars I get that are rolled from tobacco grown on slashed and burned rainforest land...

Metcalf ‘death threats’ warrant official investigation

“Death threats poured in by email,” he writes.

Really? Actual “death threats”? And they “poured in”?

Each one of those would be a crime.

Have these “death threats” been reported to the authorities? Which ones?

If not, why not? [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner advocates all death threats be taken seriously -- assuming we’re not just being subjected to agenda-driven “legitimate media” hyperbole...
