And they wonder why some end up snapping...

We're the Only Ones Tampering Enough

An inspection by LAPD investigators found about half of the estimated 80 cars in one South L.A. patrol division were missing antennas. [More] 

Oh, well I'm glad to see it's only a few bad apples...

Taking a Stab at Security

Jeff Dahlke, who works for the company that provides security for Franklin Regional High School, told CBS Pittsburgh that the suspect was armed with two knives. [More]

So, Jeff, is anyone going to get their money back...?

UPDATE: Workman weighs in with a question for the MILMs.

Great Question

Why is this impotent, useless piece of GOP trash smiling? [More]

Good thing this won't affect his "A" rating.

I wonder if this will...

Taking Over

To get on the ballot, each of them had to get ten signatures from Republicans or independents in the precinct.

That’s it. Ten signatures. [More]

I talked about this here.

And plugged it in my Hartford speech (beginning at about 9 minutes into the second video).

The Chicken or the Egg: Part Two

With biscuits! [More]

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say "Eat me" to Earl Griffith, and kick him and the swarms of officers he relies on to make his silly opinion trump "shall not be infringed" out of your establishment? For good?

Exactly like what's been happening to these folks...

This Day in History: April 9

It will doubtless be for the Benefit of the Service to have suitable Officers & Sergeants to conduct the Recruits to Camp; but as no particular provision appears to be made by the Resolutions of Congress, I am at a Loss how the Expence which will be incurred by this mode, is to be defrayed; unless it may be comprehended under the General Expression of the State’s supplying their respective Recruits untill they reach Camp, & the individual States take it upon this Ground—You will be pleased to be particularly Carefull on this Head—The State of the public Finances requires that we manage them with the greatest Economy—and the Military Chest can afford no Money for the Support of this Expence.

Holder ‘gun safety’ plea belies true ‘common sense reforms’

In terms of another argument brought up in the Free Beacon piece, that such guns could also be tracked using GPS, it’s not unfair to note that when the Department of Justice was in a position to track guns it knew were being trafficked to violent criminals, it instead turned a blind eye and allowed thousands to “walk” to Mexico. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the bracelets this lying domestic enemy ought to be concerned about are the dumb kind, that don’t recognize their user and that operate with a key.

Appreciative Thanks

Thank you, Venator Foundation, for the wonderful dinner Saturday evening at the Hartford Convention Center.  My sons and I were at one of the two tables you generously donated to CCDL after the rally.  The boar was excellent, and the entire event was first-rate.  I'm only sorry I was not able to stay through the entire event, but after a day outdoors in cool weather, what with my recent challenges, I needed to get back to the hotel and under blankets...

No wonder Shumlin wanted it.

Few Objections

“few in the Firearms Industry wanted to take a stand against this new notice of proposed rulemaking.” [More]

Yeah, no duh.  They're the ones counting on mental health blanket dragnets dragging some under the bus and leaving them alone.

So even though they have a much longer reach and wider influence, it was in their vested interests to leave the warnings to the small fry...
