Dave Workman/Seattle:
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Also check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:

We're the Only Ones Putting the Uppity Down Enough

Ex-trooper pleads guilty in civil rights killing [More]
So why is it SPLC portrays armed civil rights activists who defy "Only One" monopolies as haters, again...?

[Via Ed M]

And the Winner Is...

Massachusetts

Which really screws up the "official" talking points.

[Via Ed M]

We're the Only Ones Paying Tribute to Our Own Enough

Portland police Chief Mike Reese announced today that he's suspending Capt. Mark Kruger for 80 hours without pay and sending him to "Tools for Tolerance" training for erecting a public tribute to five Nazi-era German soldiers at a city park while employed by the police bureau.[More]
I love it: As punishment, the wacky Portland national socialists are sending him to a Tolerance Lager.

We're the Only Ones "Wreckless" Enough

Do you think somebody should tell the highly paid "Authorized Journalists" at WISHTV8 how to spell, or do you think someone was being clever...? [Read]

He fired inside the car. During a fight with Sweetie. Where do they find these violent morons they unleash on the rest of us?

And I guess the fact he only faces "possible disciplinary action from the police merit board" means what? He gets to keep his gun?  Those Lautenberg misdemeanor domestic violence prohibitions for life don't apply to "Only Ones"?

The Peace Angel

It's not exactly like the fricking idiot knows what else to do about L.A.'s gang problem.

Me, I object.  Where's that "Wall of Separation" when you really need it, or doesn't that apply to collectivist religious totems?

Hello? ACLU?

We're the Only Ones Uncharged Enough

Think all that would happen to you or me for gunning down an unarmed man would be to see that we lost our jobs? [Read]

"Only Ones" gun exceptionalism, Sam Adams-style.

[Via Jeffersonian]

Something in Common

Only one person on the scene was in a position to call the shots.  Literally. [Read]

[Via Mama Liberty]

Moro...uh...More on Travers

John Richardson asks about stealth media. [Read]

Gunning the Engine

Truck purchases. Free AK-47s. [More]
Oh, the humanity!

[Via lots of you]

It's Time...

...to demand oversight hearings into ATF. [Read]

I
couldn't
agree
more.

And I, too, would like to see R.A. Bear vindicated.

So would Benjamin, seen here catching 40 winks with your truly and elder feral son Uday, lo, those many years ago...

Point/Counterpoint

Workman vs. Hofmann.

I know whose side I'm on in this one.

How about you?

Obama could appoint Traver to head ATF without Senate approval

If Obama perceives his presidency is going to be a one-termer, or even if he’s gambling that conditions will change enough to make the fallout to his next campaign worth the risk of a temporary appointment, what’s the downside? After all, what’s he going to do—make conservative gun owners not want to vote for him?

Is this going to happen? Is this a real danger?

Who knows? Maybe not.

The point is, it could. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks "What if?"  And more importantly, "What's to stop him?"

This Day in History: November 17

In a November 17, 1778 letter to his superiors in Canada, Butler blamed Joseph Brant and his Indians for the massacre of the inhabitants of Cherry Valley. Contrarily, American historical records report it was Butler who ordered the killing of the women and children at Cherry Valley, not Brant. [More]
Hence the first documented use of "The Butler did it"...?
