Cheney's Got a Gun

I agree with babylonandon--this is funny and well-made, and your politics shouldn't matter.

I like the picture Dan Gifford forwarded, too:

We're the Only Ones Properly Trained Enough

At least once a year, police officers throughout Kansas head to the firing range, line up their handgun sights and fire 50 rounds at a body-shaped target.

Once a year?

50 rounds?

That's what "the only ones" consider "proper training"?

No wonder Gov. Kathleen Sebelius "thinks concealed carry creates a risk for law enforcement."

A good number of the folks who would opt to do so consider 50 rounds a warm-up session. Do we really want to subject our officers in the field to such disproportionate and overwhelming competence...?

I-Witless News Team Warns of "New" Gun Scare

The weapon is called a F-N Five-Seven Handgun. According to the safety alert obtained by The Boston Globe, the handgun fires bullets at such a high speed, they can punch through a bulletproof vest.

Just once I'd like to see an "Eyewitness News Team" comprised of more than vacuous bubbleheads with no actual knowledge of their subject matter.

Back to you, Jack.

Thanks, Jill. Scary stuff, indeed. And now it's time to check in with Wendy the Weather Whore and her Doppler 12 forecast...

We're the Only Ones. Period.

A measure that would regulate loaded firearms in vehicles was blocked in a Senate committee Friday and likely will fail unless it is substantially changed.

Citizens can carry firearms with loaded magazines in vehicles in Utah, but SB24, sponsored by Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Lehi, would clarify where and how the firearm is secured.

More controversially, Madsen's bill also would allow guns to be carried with a cartridge in position ready to fire...

The Utah Association of Police Chiefs and other law enforcement groups say such ready-to-fire guns in vehicles could escalate road-rage confrontations into firefights and make more arms available to thieves and children.

Naturally. As we've proven time and again here at WarOnGuns, they're the only ones professional enough to be trusted with loaded firearms. The rest of us are just a bunch of uneducated, tyrannical, emotionally unstable, arrogant, vicious, accident-prone, unethical, careless, untrustworthy and hotheaded brutes who will only end up hurting ourselves or others...

Another Gross Violation

Nicki's on a roll.

First she tells us about the guy in Louisiana who had the audacity to act like he has a right to bear arms, and now she tells us of a college student in Illinois who acted like he had a right to free speech.
