Acting Fast!!!

Just received this email:
[Click to enlarge]

I'm fairly sure this is a routine phishing scam to glean valid edresses into responding, so I won't directly. My guess is the account referenced is being spoofed. My point in posting this here is to let those of you who may be inclined to reply with a counter-threat know that will probably only get you on a mailing list you'll wish you weren't on.

That said, "Tick Tock," you total cowardly stool sample, bring it on. Right.

In the mean time, just to validate my claim to self defense should I ever get my hands on said creep, I will, of course, be forwarding this to the police, along with the header information:

Wish I'd have known about the 7:30 PM deadline--there I was chipping plastic perforated golf balls in the front yard with a perfectly good assault wedge.

GRE Round Up for June 10

Here are the latest Gun Rights Examiner posts:

Dan Bidstrup/Denver:
Way better than a Gun Free Zone

Dave Workman/Seattle:
Sotomayor’s position on SAF’s McDonald case will tell much about nominee Kagan

Kurt Hofmann/St.Louis:
I do hope you realize the importance of sharing these links and show these guys your support by doing so...?

While you're at it, be sure and check out these other liberty-oriented Examiners:

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

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to protect the environment. [More]
It always amuses/irritates me to see some snotty Brit disparage RKBA.

They'd better pray they never find out up close and personal why it's important. And hope to God they have a say in who they pray to.

As far as supporting inbred idiot "royal" welfare parasites (and German ones at that), Mr. Paine had that one figured out.

I wouldn't kneejerk rule out sending a gun to defend a British home if the plea is ever put out again, depending on who's doing the asking and what they want it for.

Giving Back to the Community

What do you think contributes more to society? A cutting-edge modern art gallery in one of the most famous and cosmopolitan cities in the world, or a drive-through liquor store that sells cheap guns with no waiting period in Wyoming? [More]
Does the store carry cigars?

You all remember Michael Dean, don't you?

We're the Only Ones Having a Cow Enough

Police shoot contrary cow [More]
Well, I know they were only following established protocols, but some enlightened "Only Ones" have established contented cows are preferable to contrary one...

Hey, if anybody's looking for a new desktop background...

It's actually not fair for me to second guess or even use this as an example--I wouldn't know how to round up a charging 1,200-Lb. animal either. I see the Charolais makes good eating. Hope the owner made the most of it.

[Via Carl S]

Only Following Orders

"I'm not going to say anything further," said Liebman. "You need to look at the education code." [More]
I'm not going to say anything further, either, Mark. Your attitude says it all.

[Via Harvey]

Harry F. Hambrick Jr. Is Not So Clear

What's clear is that the U.S. Supreme Court in the recently decided Heller case has ruled that the Second Amendment does grant the right to bear arms to individuals. [More]
Stop right there.

Right up front in your rant it says "Hambrick is a lawyer in Roanoke."

Did you read the opinion you're presuming to instruct us on, specifically the part that says:
As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.
?

Mugged Liberals

The photographer said he stayed in bed for a while after being robbed, too scared to move and worrying about what was happening in other rooms. [More]
And what have we learned...?

Anything...?

Good ol' "gun free South Africa"...

Man, if even "Authorized Journalists" aren't safe, this is going to get interesting.

Bias and Ignorance-Based Police Authority a Danger to Liberty

What have you ordered your deputies to do should they encounter an armed citizen? When you say your position is you won't allow it, does that mean you're prepared to have your agents use armed force to stop it? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that being unlawfully denied fundamental rights during a day at the park is no picnic.
