A Distinguished Character

Kurt notes the most distinguishing feature about this cause and effect-challenged character is his irrationality -- that and he's a hate-filled moron. No wonder he's a darling of "progressive" academia! [More]

Gun year in review picks top stories for 2014

Look for the phenomenon to grow as more gun owners take notice and decide the most effective activism may be to repurpose Nancy Reagan’s “Just say no” slogan. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the most significant stories may be the ones most have overlooked.

The Theory of Relativity

The fruit doesn't fall all that far from the tree sometimes. [More]

What an ignorant, entitled, militant b!+ch that "outraged" relative sounds like. I wish I knew who she was so I could help direct deserved contempt her way.

When young reptile Adric put a gun to another human being's head and forced him to his knees, he forfeited any claim to life and liberty. It's not hard to hear where he got his "ethics" from.

Captain's Log

• Intervention
• Notes

About that first one -- In general, and admitting I don't know the specifics, I can't say that would be my first reaction. My armchair gut instinct, if I really thought it was truly my business and an intervention was needed, would be to call over and make it known I was acting as a witness and calling the police before escalating everything to the tripwire level. Maybe I'm being naive here, and perhaps the situation truly warranted such a forceful response, and maybe my aversion to making a gun the first resort instead of the last will be something I or my family would come to regret...

The Content of His Character

A south suburban man who, according to prosecutors, posted on Facebook earlier this month that he wanted to “kill as many cops and unarmed white kids as possible” and kept a makeshift shooting range in his basement was ordered held in lieu of no bail in Cook County court on Saturday. [More]

But there's a wrinkle:

But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community ... "He was speaking his mind," Beatrice Franklin told the station.

See, he was "outraged." And I'm sure commensurate understanding would be extended if a white person posted about killing "as many ... unarmed black kids as possible."

Even if the gun is hers, the fingerprints of a "prohibited person" on it would make for a case. Thing is, if we're going to have consistent justice and not prove out the "progressive" charge of racism in selective prosecutions, isn't there someone else who's left plenty of evidence of gun-handling while under "disability"?

This Day in History: December 29

The Idea of many of the Military being interested in the Independency of Vermont in consequence of their having taken Grants of Lands under them I believe is without foundation. There was a Period when the Disposition of Congress, founded on political Expedience, appeared so favorable to the Independence of that District, as to have induced some Gentlemen of the Army to apply to the usurped Government for Grants: But when it was discovered that they were intriguing with the common Enemy, the more respectable Characters withdrew their Applications and relinquished all kind of Connections with them and even those who did not go so far I immagine conceive themselves as perfectly secure under our late Acts.

When in Mumbai

It makes sense, if you think about it, to not offend people in their own home, and to be sensitive to customs and mores that may be unfamiliar or alien to us but are natural and simply good manners to the culture in which we place ourselves. If we find we cannot abide by such customs, unless part of a compelled government presence, in which case prudence should preside, no one is forcing us to go there. [More]

My latest JPFO Alert notes cultural diversity hardly demands traditionally-recognized rights of Americans be abridged to satisfy the demands of foreigners yearning for more despotic rule, just like in the old home tyranny that spawned them.

GOP felon Grimm shows true gun-grabber colors

"I want to make America safer, and safer for our children," he opportunistically declared a month after Newtown, when he called for “renewing a national ban on assault weapons ‘as part of the healing process.’" Who he thought would be healed by a betrayal offensive to millions of gun owners was left unstated. Also unclear is if he had in mind a carve-out for former FBI agents, the same way federal law exempts them from concealed firearm prohibitions. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes head case thugs are the same treacherous bullies no matter which party they belong to.

Another Vigilante Gun Death!

According to police, three juvenile males from Middletown approached two adult males outside the Dayton Mall around 10:00 a.m. Saturday. They say one of the juveniles produced a gun and demanded merchandise from the adult males. Police say one of the males, who had a valid concealed carry weapon permit, pulled out a gun of his own and shot the teen who had the gun. That teen, identified as Jawaad Jabbar, 16, died from a single gunshot wound. [More]

If only they would disarm you and me!

“It is tragic that someone lost their lives over tennis shoes, possibly,” said Sgt. Phares.

That's hardly the reason, Sarge.  And as far as tragedy goes, neutralizing such a liability may actually register as a net gain.
