It's Not Like We Didn't Ask

About this...

I watched the whole thing, ready to take down anything relevant. This is what I came up with:


I guess AP is right. It's NOT a story.

My bad.

Will GOP candidates say anything genuine about Gunwalker in tonight’s debate?

Will the subject be raised?

If it is raised, will the question be phrased in a way to elicit an unequivocal answer—and to make weasel-worded non-responses evident? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column makes a cynical prediction. Let's all hope tomorrow's will make a sincere apology.

Meanwhile, Over in the Marketplace of Ideas

I don't suppose it occurs to these morons that all this does is shows everyone how pathetically weak demand for their agenda is...? [Read]

We're the Only Ones Occupied Enough

Sometimes these titles just write themselves. [Read]

As Ironic as He is Moronic

“I think this legislation is designed to actually punish us for trying to protect ourselves,” said Chester Mayor John Linder, a Democrat who took office in January. [More]
Says the authoritarian hypocrite who wants free rein to punish us for trying to protect ourselves...

That's Almost Funny

Rights group calls for crackdown on gun violence in Cambodia [More, but you need to subscribe]
Yeah, that's what Cambodia needs to try--gun control.

You Think It's About Protecting a Damn i-Phone...?

The Future of Oakland

The future of Oakland, then, will be Phil Tagami. On Nov. 2, as masked vandals ran through Oakland setting fires and vandalizing property, the developer and active Democrat stood with a shotgun to keep the rioters from breaking in to Oakland's iconic Rotunda building. At great personal risk, he saved the building. [More]
An active Democrat?  And the gungrabbers aren't going to call him a penis-compensating, murderous vigilante and get him off the street...?

Hopzedong Cassidy

Wait a minute--if this hive insect queen gets that ammo "sin tax" passed, won't that impact the ability of her constituents to storm the capital?

We're the Only Ones Quivering Enough

Rep. Stephen Handy, R-Layton, voted against the measure because of worries that it would take a key mechanism from the quiver of law enforcement tools. [More]
Really? This ****head equates peaceable open carry with disorderly conduct, and wants criminal penalties to apply--not to mention real jeopardy to life in the encounter to effect an arrest on an armed citizen?

Don't they vet these oath-breaking punks before they rate them?

With Rights Come Responsibilities

Dolphins are so intelligent that they should be thought of as ‘non-human persons’ and given their own bill of rights, it is claimed. [More]
Good. It's about damn time we held those fish murderers accountable.

I Need to Work on My Directness

I just ran across this by accident while looking for something else:


"Likens"?

I thought I flat-out called them "national socialists."

Don't they teach you oberkapos how to read?

And Then Along Came Jones...

State Senate Republican Rick Jones said that this has become a major problem, especially within the gang community. “People are taking imitation firearms that look real, cutting off the orange end and then threatening people,” he said. [More]

Kind of like the stuff I had as a kid, without one problem ever. And because Michigan has no other problems.

Say, he wouldn't be this Rick Jones, would he...?

The Arms of the Angel

Well, not her arms... [Read]

The story is best read with Sarah McLachlan's ASPCA commercial playing in the background.

Low-hanging fruit certainly does generate press...

A Gathering Storm

So maybe they should take up their Second Amendment-sanctioned guns and storm Wall Street and our nation's capitals. If our country doesn't change, it could very well come to that one day. [More]
I wish the regressive left would get their stories straight about armed insurrection...

This Day in History: February 22

By a return dated Wethersfield, February 22, 1780, made by Major Benjamin Tailmadge [sic] of 2d Light Dragoons it appears that in six companies there were but I trumpeter, i [sic] farrier and 5 privates of " Mounted effective dragoons."
