As long as I have mine...

I can't believe that's corporate policy, but then again, I've seen some pretty stupid policies in my day.

The last time ATF was in this position, they raided a religious commune in Texas to "retrieve their reputation." [More]
Vanderboegh thinks the terrain is starting to look familiar.

I sure hope we haven't been going around in a big circle...

Is NYPD Discriminating Against Disabled Cop?

And, yeah, I know--ADA is another unconstitutional usurpation by the national government--but this is a case of any chair in a bar fight, and the immediate short term goal is to clobber the other guy.

Besides, setting different coercive entities against each other would be fun to watch, kind of like a dinosaur fight, and it could further confound the designs of a certain pathological control freak who thinks his function is to rule. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column recommends using their own rules to start a fight between competing oppressors.
