Take the Money and Run

Officials say the subject did not brandish a weapon but motioned as if he had a weapon. He verbally threatened the teller when she did not immediately comply with his demand. [More]

Sorry. If you want my money, you're going to have to do better than that.

Then again, it's not her money and the guy was probably a lot bigger than she is. I also see the Lormet Credit Union in Elyria has been reported as posted "No Guns," so my guess is the one in nearby  Wellington probably has the same rules.

Point, Counterpoint

Frank Jackson doesn't have authority to pass binding new anti-gun edicts and he knows it. [More]

He's doing this for headlines to help mask his dismal record on everything else -- not that he need worry, as his constituency would most likely reelect this guy if he was caught naked and biting the heads off hamsters.

Some of the comments from "our side" show not everyone is thinking things they advocate through. If you think preemption can, at times, provide superior alternatives than a patchwork quilt, say so -- but remember to acknowledge that door can swing both ways. And as for "access to minors," we talked about that, as well as other ways things are being deceptively couched in order to trick even gun rights advocates into considering them "reasonable."

‘Progressive’ critics confirm premise of Vanderboegh Texas speech

Does anyone think such as these are interested in any dialog beyond "Surrender or be destroyed"? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the louder hate-filled "progressives"  scream, the more they make our case for us.  Includes video of Mike's Texas speech.

'Gun Death' Rate Scams Designed to Defraud Public Out of Rights

The problem is not with gun owners. We are not robbers. We are not killers. Get this straight: It's not our fault. And anyone who says otherwise is a liar – one who wants to trick you out of your rights if they can't outright steal them from you. [More]

My latest JPFO Alert notes a cheap trick monopoly of violence con artists pull to delude marks into believing that more tyranny makes things safer for us all.

A False Dichotomy?

Mike Vanderboegh spoke late last month to the Howard County chapter of Open Carry Texas, where he offered a false dichotomy to frame the long-running debate on federalism as a life-and-death struggle between patriots and domestic enemies. [More]

OK, you just made a claim, Travis. How come you didn't follow up and explain in point-by-point detail why it's false, and why you believe people who mean to rule can live in harmony with those who won't let them?

Or is that a "false dichotomy" too?

I see the comment posters there are about what we've come to expect.

I see Mike noticed that, too.

Talking Guns

Talking Guns 07062014 Guests: The beginning of the month brings one of Talking Guns Contributor's David Codrea of The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance and Gun Rights Examiner / David Codrea. We talked about a feminist writer who said that women wouldn't "need" guns if men were all good. And a criminals family who support more gun control… and Mexicans on armed citizens... and more... This hour went by very quickly and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did. [More] 

I just realized I hadn't posted a link to last Sunday's archived show yet.

We're the Only Ones Whose Left Hand Doesn't Know What the Right Hand is Doing Enough

Shuck told investigators he instead meant to shoot Butts with a stun gun, but the probable cause statement notes that the right-handed officer had to reach across his body for the much lighter Taser attached to the left side of his belt. [More]

So it was just easier to shoot him? Aw, shucks.

Sorry, I'm reminded of the difference between an epileptic corn husker and a prostitute with diarrhea... if you don't already know, do yourself a favor and don't ask. And if you do know, sorry, but that's what happens when the fire could use more logs, you've had a couple fingers of the good stuff, and it's time to light up that second maduro... which I hope to be doing several hours form now.

Hey, it's a lot less offensive than what happened to this guy under color of authoritah...

Damn Good Commentary

As I'm working, I'm playing a terrific installment of The Josh Bernstein Show. Click here, then pick the top program in the right sidebar under "Latest Audio/Video" where the guest is Jan Morgan*.

I don't get a chance to listen to a lot of talk radio, as I'm typically crazy busy researching and writing, but I did my Lock N Load appearance this morning, got my newest JPFO Alert draft submitted by noon, and just finished my GRE column, so I now have a chance to get this playing in the background, and I'm enjoying it.

Bloomberg comment exemplifies elitist gun-grabber snobbery

How very intolerant, to play the rube card. How very bigoted. How very backward and – wouldn't urban sophisticates call it “provincial”? It’s not surprising. It’s exactly what we have come to expect from "forward leaners" with their insufferable air of superiority, and their quickness (and eagerness) to dismiss those clinging to flyover ways as lesser beings. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

A "Progressive" Attitude in the War on Women

VA Democrat Prays for Death – Nude Photos of Young Huntress [More]

What a sick, pathetic headcase loser Mike Dickinson is.

This is probably the closest he's ever been to a gorgeous young woman, so naturally he will want to destroy that which would not have anything to do with him.

Fortunately, in terms of his power bid (funny, the type that craves it), he doesn't stand a chance in hell, which is where he belongs.  I can't help but wonder if his last name reflects a relationship he'd like to have some day.
