GRE Round Up for April 26

Latest offerings from my fellow GREs:

Dave Workman/Seattle: 
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis: 

ATF Seized Firearms

As published in the Wall Street Journal on April 14...

We've covered such seizures before here, and I post them when I find out about them to make public information actually...uh...public, as opposed to confined to a limited venue where most gun owners will probably never see it.

As I asked in an Examiner column some time back: Does ATF want seized property notices noticed?

I also included this supplement.

I've loaded a new batch of scans to Scribd--they were sent to me over the weekend by correspondent Dan W. There are four files--here are their links:
By saving the files to my own computer and viewing them there (not on Scribd) I'm able to use Adobe reader to rotate them to vertical and then enlarge. Sorry, it's the best solution my limited (!!!) tech abilities can come up with.  If you have a better way, make it so and we can all go visit your site.

It seems ATF really ought to post this type of info on their site.  If they do and I just don't know about it, please educate me, because if I don't have to do any extra work, I'm all for it.

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

A spokesman said: "The only legislation that applies to attacks on humans by animals is the Dangerous Dogs Act and that does not apply to pigs."

...Mr Jefferey said that pigs had been attacking people in the area for the past two years. [More]
So the "Only Ones" won't act and the subjects can't act.

Fitting when you realize who makes the rules.

Now if we can only get the Not Invented Here folks with the influence and reach to make this happen big time get behind it--and give proper credit when they do.

The Proof is in the Pudding

A politican makes a pledge.

How serious was he?

About as serious as he was when he swore that oath of office on his "personal Bible."

You know, this serious:
Gov. Bill Haslam and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey are working against a bill to allow faculty and staff to carry guns on the campuses of Tennessee’s public universities.
The Stupid Party continues leading the way with politically-calculated betrayals.

Take Ramsey--please:
“I want to concentrate on what I think is meaningful and what will help Second Amendment, gun carry permit holders the most,” Ramsey said. “And I do think that guns on campus is a sideline that we don’t need to be getting to right now.”
That's the same Ron Ramsey endorsed by GOA. And rated A+ by NRA.

"Who else are gun owners gonna vote for?" the strategy goes.  They're counting on us being that desperate. Meaning we'll never have the political will to punish and give up a seat for the short term to teach a lesson for the long term.

Meaning without a credible "or else," there will never be sufficient incentive to keep these despicable  Three Card Monte hustlers honest.

Obama 2012!  These principle-devoid whores seem bound and determined to guarantee it.

We're the Only Ones Dancin' to the Jailhouse Glock Enough

A handgun went off in the Assumption Parish jail Monday afternoon, and two Sheriff's employees are on unpaid leave while the shooting is investigated, authorities said. [More]
The biggest assumption being that these two rubes--and those like them--are the "Only Ones"  professional enough to carry guns...

I'm sure those who bandy about statistics will be quick to put these numbers in their proper perspective.The rest of us, who believe unbendingly in the right to keep and bear arms, simply don't give a  damn what these impotent subversives say.

If this is the best effort their desperate attempts to have any sort of relevance in the debate can produce, I say let 'em expend even more resources putting together such nonsense.

F...ing idiots.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes some animals are more equal than others--at least in the minds of those who would rule.
