A Government Solution

What does government do when there's an ammo shortage and a budget crisis?

Destroys brass.

Idiots. [More]

Hey, you guys who were correcting my title the other day: How do you say "Sarah Brady Paradise" in German?

Hey, Jerold Duquette Here...

...the guy with the "Little web page" who Sean wants to lynch. [More]
Read the rest and then go here.

I did not see a specific post, so I assume he wants to be emailed?

He's welcome to engage here if he wants an audience.

Cry, the Betrayed Country

Gangs of South African men are raping lesbians in the belief it will "cure" the women's sexual orientation, an aid agency said Friday. [More]
This was sent to me by Mama Liberty, who noted:
And, of course, nobody at NBC would be caught dead suggesting that these women might easily defend themselves from rape and murder if they were suitably armed. Can't have that.
It's actually worse than that. In the Bizarro world of globalist feminism, the biggest enabler the rapists have are the women's advocacy groups that purport to represent the victims.

Think I'm exaggerating?

Set aside a few minutes to think again.

A Piece of the Action

OK, just so you know, the Army says that the fire team shown in the Reuters photo was not there "enforcing" anything, they were just "supporting."[More]
Or, in the immortal rejoinder to Jojo Krako:

We're the Only Ones Free to Menace Enough

A SUNY New Paltz police lieutenant has outlasted a charge that he threatened another driver with a gun in 2007, angering that driver and some fellow campus cops.

A misdemeanor menacing charge against Lt. Timothy Wurtz was dismissed March 2 in Montgomery Town Court, and the college has reinstated Wurtz. [More]

So what lesson are we to take from this--except to note that if Lt. Wurtz--or by extension, any SUNY New Paltz "Only One", puts a gun to your head in a fit of rage, you can expect no legal recourse...? And the judge and DA won't even talk about it?

It would seem the only way to read this is to assume a clear message has been sent: You're on your own. I guess that means they expect you to take it? Gee, they're sure not leaving people much choice, are they?

Thumbs Down on Prints

Carl S passes this along:
Tennessee Firearms Association, Inc.
Legislative Action Committee

HB0254 (Casada) / SB0554 (Norris) has a very limited purpose. Its sole purpose is to omit the requirement that the FFL dealer obtain the thumb prints of purchasers of firearms. TBI backs this bill because out of 2.3 million + sales the TBI has only requested the thumb prints once and in that case it was not useful.
So naturally, Jimmy Naifeh is against dropping the requirement that inconveniences everybody and doesn't work.

Why TN voters don't give this slug the finger...

We're the Only Ones Making Headlines Enough

Bryan Crawford, 26, was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer and disorderly intoxication. His brother, Danny Crawford, 28, was arrested for resisting arrest with violence and disorderly intoxication...[More]
And one grabbed a girl's crotch--the same one who "paid his dues" after running his car into a utility pole while drunk, and then stealing from the public by calling in sick and then going clubbing (no, not that kind)!

Fraternal "Only Ones." And Chief Gillihan knew full well what he was dealing with, but enabled endangering the public anyway.

"So this is what it feels like in handcuffs!"

Sounds like these two mutts ought to get used to it.

Should a Concealed Weapons Permit be Private?

Feel free to go and educate.

This will be a non-gun owner readership, so please remember to spread that kind of love that only we principled gun owners can bestow.

We're the Only Ones Who Really Fracture You Enough

A woman filed a notice of claim last week against the village and police Officer Shawn Barry, claiming he fractured her arm while trying to issue a routine traffic ticket.[More]
I see "Only One" Shawn has settled on a brutality claim before. Perhaps she's lucky he didn't really crack her up.

Columbine and School Violence Examiner

So far, I don't see him pushing for gun control. But I don't see him pointing out the "gun free zone" commonality, either.

He's posted several articles already. Go check them out and let me know what you think. [More]

Gun Amendment Not the Real Issue with DC Voting Rights Bill

Still, there's a bigger problem with the voting rights bill in its entirety, and one many gun rights advocates--or our representative grooups-- seem unwilling to discuss. [More]
