I Can Post From the Hotel...

...so I'll be doing so as I can.

Wal-Mart Halts LA Gun Sales...

...and some folks feeling vulnerable right now aren't very happy about it.

"A Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Karen Burk, attributed the company's decision to pull guns from the shelves to 'some very fluid circumstances and changing situations...'"

What, fluid as in there's water all over the place and looters and rapists are running around victimizing people?

"Wal-Mart's decision to stop gun sales also earned it praise from several customers, who said police would protect them from any trouble.

"'Why can't we get along? This is a time of crisis,' said Mike White of Kenner, La. He said people who need guns for legitimate reasons, such as hunting, would not be buying now."

Mike White, I can't believe someone as idiotic as you're coming off even exists. I suspect you know better, and you're quoting from the playbook to advance your wretched, liberty-hating agenda.

Here's why we can't all get along, Rodney, I mean, Mike. Because you won't let us.

We're perfectly willing to leave you alone to live out your beliefs. Gungrabbers, on the other hand, rely on JBTs with "obey or die" edicts to force their will on those who believe and live differently.

So we'll get along, Mike, when you and your kind stop making war on us.

Claire Has a New Book Out

I haven't read it yet. Before visiting her site tonight, I hadn't even heard of it.

But some folks have established a track record that deserves our faith.

I'll bet it's excellent, as usual. I'll have to get a copy just so I can confirm my bias...:-)

Nice to See the NSSF...

...doing the Brady Center's work for them.

Pitchfork murder, anyone?

Outta Here...

...until Friday.

I may or may not be able to check in between now and then.

"One September Day..."

The Blognomicon has a picture series appropriate for today's date that you really ought to see.

Fathers Demanding Defenseless Families

Look, I'm a father myself.

I can't imagine what I'd do if something happened to one of my boys, I love them so damn much.

But when people manifest their grief destructively, they lose their claim to sympathy. These guys mean to leave people unable to protect their families. They mean for the state to have the monopoly of power.

Anybody who would embrace that solution was probably a fool before tragedy struck.
