Chris Bunch Supports Gun Owners--Will They Support Him?

This isn't something you can wait on, or figure the other guy will do. Will you do something? Anything? [More]
I've said it before--apathy is as great an enemy as opposition. Tonight's Gun Rights Examiner column attempts to give another push.

Anybody wants to lend a hand, I won't say "No"...

Translators Wanted: Inquire Within

WRSA needs some cunning linguists. [More]

Guvermint Skools

'Education' misspelled on CMS teacher coaster [More]
If they were truly educated, they'd forget working out a deal with the vendor, make lemonade out of lemons and sell these things as a fundraiser to people who think it would be funny to own one.

I imagine they'd recoup their $1,500 and even make a profit.

Following the Narrative

Bill Whittle looks at media whitewashing. [More]

Wait...can I still say that?

We're the Only Ones Who SHOULD Have These Things

"The bottom line is people simply should not have these things and that's why we have laws against them." [More]
So does that mean that, unlike Soylent Green, "Only Ones" aren't people?

And I wonder what Mr. Coxe would have to say about this?

A New Twist

These are some of the same stupid laws that we have to follow — and some that are being proposed — for legal gun ownership. [More]
Marc Folco addresses alcohol and firearms. Throw some tobacco in there and we could have a pretty good time--as long as we left government out of the mix.

We're the Only Ones Threatening Enough

The 10-year department veteran used a knife to threaten one man, then left. However, he returned a short time later, kicked foot [food?--DC] out of the man's hand and pointed the .45 caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun at his head. [More]
I've been to Old Tony's many times. I also walked neighborhoods distributing flyers for Proposition E many years ago. The good sheeple of Redondo Beach decided that "Only Ones" like Officer Chong could be trusted with guns.

They called it "a vote of reason over fear."

Oh, and the councilman mentioned in the Prop E link? He's the one I wrote about here.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has advised staff to replace the phrase “black day” with “miserable day”...

The National Gallery in London believes that the phrase “gentleman’s agreement” is potentially offensive to women... [More]
If their governments were more niggardly, they wouldn't have money to waste on this foolishness...

The Rules of Engagement

"We're not looking to come across as being heavy-handed," he said. "We want to make sure that everybody knows what the rules of engagement are to help spur greater compliance, so that enforcement becomes less of an issue. But we're still going to enforce." [More]
Thank goodness you're not being heavy-handed, Scott Wolfson.

"Rules of engagement." Over this. Good grief. At what point do your JBTs get to shoot?

I guess "Chairwoman" works for Inez Tenenbaum, in a Chicom kind'a way, although with all those "Czars" flitting about, I'm surprised she's not called "Czarina."

Anybody know if there's a feminine form for "Führer "?

Why am I thinking of a fictional passage in a yet-unwritten novel where a Jart is used to provide ironic justice...? Remember those? I miss 'em--they were fun. I think I need to buy a set if I can find one--better yet, two sets, so I can offer one for sale in defiance of power-mad authoritarians.

Gun Registration Not Supported by History

As for those on "our side" who feel a compelling need to volunteer that the Heller decision combined with Militia Act intent now makes mandatory gun registration "legal," remember that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land." They and those who would exploit their "reluctant" admissions would do well to remember that some of us know you don't need to wear black robes and speak all the ritual judicial incantations to understand the intent behind our right to keep and bear arms-- and our commitment to preserving and restoring it. [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column is the third part in a series necessitated by ostensible "pro-gun scholars and advocates" who seem to think mandatory gun registration would be constitutional. Fortunately, I get some expert help.

Part 1: Gun registration is NOT constitutional

Part 2: Militia Act did not establish constitutionality of mandatory gun registration

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs. Tell a friend?

Important Update to Chris Bunch for Congress Appeal

I've been advised that a special election primary will be held on Sept. 1, which is NEXT WEEK with a runoff in Nov. So it is critical that support be given NOW... [More]
Today's first Gun Rights Examiner column is a special update to yesterday's article about a congressional candidate who's not afraid to take a hard line stance on the Second Amendment.

I believe if we sit back and let others spread the word on this one, nothing will get done. I also believe apathy will destroy any incentive politicians have to seriously champion RKBA.

I hope you join me in promoting this information.

This Day in History: August 26

The officers commanding corps are to see that their men's arms are immediately cleaned and put in the best order possible; that the ammunition likewise be carefully inspected, and the proper number of rounds for each man completed; that the bayonets fix well; that the flints be screwed in fast, and every thing put in perfect readiness for action. [More]

What?

You mean they didn't do this so the government would have authority to mandate gun registration???
