Attention Global Moderator Steve

[More]

I've had skin in the game. If you'd read what I wrote instead of making ignorant assumptions, you would have seen the link documenting it.  And I did it under my full real name, and in person, right in their faces, not on the internet.

But I understand your defensiveness. Seems you're projecting from a place of your own.

We're the Only Ones Explosive Enough?

Police say they received a call on Thursday from the homeowner, identified as Merricks’ estranged wife, saying she was cleaning out a bedroom closet and found four ¼ sticks of TNT and assorted ammunition in a metal box marked “highly explosive.” [More]
I dunno. That's enough right there to make me want to hear his side of things.

Judge Kidd makes injunction against Miss. gun law permanent

Claiming Mississippi's House Bill 2 clarification of "concealed" is "unconstitutionally vague," Hinds Country Circuit Court Judge Winston L. Kidd today placed a permanent injunction on the law to keep it from going into effect in his Order Granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Injunctive Relief. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report updates you on the latest bit of bench tyranny coming from this robed tyrant, who's feeling all kinds of in-your-face arrogance now that the state Supreme Court has shown they have neither the guts nor the principles to take him on directly.

Bloomberg’s MAIG expanding ‘action group’ efforts to states

It’s a safe bet Bloomberg is gearing up for a whole new effort once he leaves office. He’ll then be able to devote more time and money to pressure politicians for edicts designed to disarm those currently beyond his reach. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner exclusive report brings you some intel on enemy movements as he spreads out and prepares his forces to launch a nationwide assault.

We're the Only Ones Bringing Down Enough

Under different sheriffs in recent years past, there may have been as many as 150 or so people in Santa Barbara County walking around with guns legally hidden on them. But ever since Sheriff Bill Brown was elected in 2006, he’s focused on bringing that number down. [More]
And just how was he elected again?

We're the Only Ones Tipsy Enough

Two tipsy off-duty city correction officers were arrested within two minutes of each other after one waved his gun at a motorist in Brooklyn and the other left the scene of an accident in the Bronx early Sunday, police said. [More]
I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "tipsy" is.

Think they'd have used it to describe you or me doing something similar?  Oh, that's right, we wouldn't be getting drunk and threatening people with guns in the first damn place.

Another Victim of Gun Violence Checklist

Robert Vann Marshall, 34, was suicidal, armed and threatening to kill his wife and children.  [More]
Released from jail: Check.
Prohibited person: Check.
Restraining order: Check.
Armed: Check.

This guy's name belongs on the Bloomberg Bus.

Do You Know How Much Trouble You Can Get In...

...when you open your damn mouth? [More]
Burleson told the officer, “‘I didn’t point it at him, but I came to the door with it.’

Burleson later learned that the sheriffs went into the house to make sure everyone was all right and to talk with his wife.

When are people going to learn?

We're the Only Ones "Lead Us Not Into Temptation" Enough

'She came on to me': NYPD veteran blames 16-year-old victim after being busted for attempted rape: police [More] 
Yeah, I really feel victimized when minors do that to me. Especially after I give them booze.

Reminds me of my favorite line from "Airplane II":
Look, a man can make an honest mistake!! Anyway, she was asking for it! They're all asking for it all the time!!

We're the Only Ones On the Rebound Enough

One of the bullets missed the animal, ricocheted off the sidewalk and struck his partner in the arm near his elbow. [More
What were the names of those officers again?  Oh, they weren't identified?

Why?

Shining a Spotlight

#justablogger. Bringing you the news the "legitimate media/Authorized Journalists" won't. And paying a price for it. [More]

Ain't that right, Dick?

This Should Be About as Effective as When Joycelyn Elders Wanted Schools to Teach Kids How to Masturbate

Maybe they'll require Surgeon General warning labels on guns...? [More

And yeah, for those of you who don't remember, the headline isn't a joke-- at least on my part.

A Predictable Outcome

That the machinery has broken down is not new or surprising at all. It was designed to be that way!  [More]
It always is.

It's enough to make one cry.

Atlas Shrugs

Now all we need is for Skynet to become self-aware...assuming it's not already... [More]

Reese Recap

This is an excellent summary of events to date in the protracted and convoluted Reese case. [More]

More will be coming in the next few days.

UPDATE: Here's a development I missed.

They DO Look Petty

They ought to pull up stakes altogether. And tell all states that impose similar tyranny that they can buy their guns from someone else. [More]

Senate Goes Full B. Todd

Never go full B. Todd... [More]

Meet Me in St. Louis

Of those charged, 78 percent were already convicted felons, officials said, who had amassed more than 500 previous convictions between them. [More]
How would they know about their criminal backgrounds unless they were racist?

I trust no guns escaped into the wild to pad statistics?

[Via bondmen]

Confirmation

Kenneth J. Gonzales... [More]

You know, Kenneth J. Gonzales...

That pretty much confirms things, wouldn't you say?

A Public/Private Partnership

Microsoft has collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users' communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company's own encryption, according to top-secret documents obtained by the Guardian. [More]
Knowing of his support for "gun control" and other "progressive" causes, it hardly surprises me to learn that Bill Gates is also an economic fascist. 

He must be a "Thank you sir, may I have another?" masochist, too.

Because he thinks Obama doesn't have enough power.

Any Bets?

...that if Zimmerman is found guilty we'll see dedications for Trayvon Martin Middle School and Trayvon Martin Boulevard...? [More]

Surrendering to the French

As long as the precedent has been established, I'm sure there are some demands courts in Tehran and Pyongyang would like #twa... uh...Twitter to capitulate to... [More]

This Day in History: July 12

It would be the extreme of vanity in us not to be sensible, that we began this revolution with very vague and confined notions of the practical business of government. To the greater part of us it was a novelty: Of those, who under the former constitution had had opportunities of acquiring experience, a large proportion adhered to the opposite side, and the remainder can only be supposed to have possessed ideas adapted to the narrow coloneal sphere, in which they had been accustomed to move, not of that enlarged kind suited to the government of an INDEPENDENT NATION.
