A Sense of Entitlement

Dallas County prosecutor charged with DWI called officers KKK members, black sergeant an “Uncle Tom” [More]
It's not like we haven't seen this exact racist sociopathy / blameless self phenomenon before... and I recall seeing it from time to time before that.

Corruption as Tyranny

The Founders saw that personal and societal corruption was indeed the predicate to tyranny, that it made it inevitable. And who among us, regardless of his or her religious beliefs or moral compass can deny that our society, today, in the 21st Century, is perhaps the ultimate expression of corruption, venality and moral decay?

Calling 'em Like He Sees 'em

This Day in History: January 6

The Officer who is the bearer of this, has in charge a number of Marine Prisoners, who were lately captured by a party of Troops on the Sound—There is amongst them one Hoit who has a Commission in the Refugee Corps, but who by his conduct in several instances since he was taken, particularly in attempting to induce Soldiers to desert, does not appear to be worthy of a Parole—Not knowing what was best to be done with these characters I have sent them to your Orders.

Well, MY Work Here is Done...

29 are needed. [More]

Too bad not all who can -- or should -- are showing leadership.

I guess I've been so wrapped up in other stuff I didn't realize tomorrow was the day to make this happen. My guess is I'm hardly alone.  Which suits the PTB just fine. So all I can do is make my voice heard and ask others to do the same.

I have no illusions that me asking people to do something and spread the word will result in anything appreciable, but at least I took a swing at it.

How about you?

The Canons of Journalism

Bergen Record Reporter Covers Anti Gun Orgs Without Disclosing His Affiliation With Them [More]
That's why Dianne Feinstein would consider him a "real reporter," Joe Biden would consider his paper part of "legitimate news media," and anyone with principles should consider him a Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist.

Want a good laugh, or depending on your point of view, a good cry?

The Absolute Concealed Carry Guide

Holster Hero overs the basics on statistics, rules to follow, "the 3 C's of concealed carry," a "how to," and legalities... [More]

Do I Get a Finder's Fee?

[More]

Glad I could bring you two crazy kids together.

I hope to introduce you to some more new people real soon.  My FOIA based on this is ready to send.

The Deal-Maker

Will it be a deal-breaker? [More]

And is anybody who can make a difference going to deal with this?

Probably not, unless you and enough others demand it.

Last Night on Armed American Radio

Regular Contributor Amber Kunau talks toddler Walmart shooting and off-body carry, David Codrea and George Hill weigh in, Texas good Samaritan who stopped domestic abuser with his gun in the middle of a busy street, Aaron Kreag, Rob Pincus analyzes, Alan Gottlieb discusses federal suit against I594 in Washington State. [Listen] 
I was on in the second half of Hour One.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Blood on the streets in IL due to concealed carry law! WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN, YOU GUN-HUMPING AMMOSEXUALS! [More]

What? It didn't...?

What is it we say around here about "progressives" and Opposite Day?

Stop the Threat: The Office


ATF position on equipment use threatens private gun-making

By changing the rules, ATF has closed down a means by which people who lack the equipment themselves to finish off a part will be able to exercise their right to build a firearm, a practice many rely on, particularly when completing so-called “80 percent” precursor receivers. [More
Happy New Year from your friends at BATF-You!

There's No Such Thing as a Free Brunch

I love it, because these are invariably "progressive" eateries. [More]

I hope it gets to the point where they DEMAND they stand and chant OR ELSE.

What in the World?

Washington DC is second only to Wyoming in terms of being "gun friendly"?  And all the states have registration? [More]

And how come he uses undifferentiated anti-numbers to tell us how many are killed BY guns, but does not offset it with lives saved?

It must be OK. I mean, writing for "legitimate news media" like Forbes, he must be a "real reporter."

[Via 2ATechnology, who notes the NFRTR is a source!]

Can't We All Get Along?

That depends. [More]

I see a parallel between the Establishment GOP and Tea Party activists playing out here. There are serious differences that need to be addressed. Anyone proceeding regardless of that should expect push-back, and don't be surprised if it's strong and at times loud and impolite.

Not everyone is on board with a strategy we nonetheless must all deal with, and they've laid out some pretty good points. And if push comes to shove, some will say "Try." Ignoring or dismissing them is the biggest mistake that could be made -- by either "side".

Besides, there's rivalry and infighting among the antis, what with Mark warning off Dan, and Ladd smelling rats...
