The Pinson Pipeline

Vanderboegh writes an open letter. [Read]

Funny thing about people with nothing to hide.  They do things openly.

Through the Roof!

Jeez, and to think the antis accuse NRA of shilling for the gun companies... [Read]

‘Bulletproof Mind’ empowers gun owners to prepare for, respond to violence

We also learn something that, again, sheep simply cannot comprehend and won’t believe—but some of us can and will: Lt. Col. Grossman’s ultimate inspiring message, and this comes out loud, clear and true, is one of love. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column reviews a seminar well worth attending.

The Surge

Violent crime so far this year in the District has spiked sharply — a 40 percent increase that includes twice as many robberies at gunpoint than at this time last year. [More]
I don't understand--just look how difficult it is to get a gun there.

Oh...

Y'know, if only we had the same kind of "gun control" everywhere else...

It All Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word "Rights" Is

Human rights groups expressed cautious optimism about the outcome.  [More]

You know, as in you have the right to have governments mandate and enforce their monopoly of violence and your imposed disarmament. What's so deceptively  Orwellian about that...?

What's ironic to me is, here we have plenty of documentation of breaking Gunwalker developments (from way before anyone in media had ever heard about it--and continuing through to right freaking now, where I'm trying to decide if a fresh tip is calculated disinformation designed to discredit sourced information Mike and I use or a breakthrough...Hint: I'll be calling Washington later this morning, and not the branch of government you might assume), and I can't recall even once one of Andrew's Big Government reporters approaching either of us--not to feature us, just to use stuff we've uncovered as a starting point for their own investigation.

They Shoot Intellectuals, Don't They?

Arguments about how that leadership has been and is being squandered and abused aside, if you don't lead you follow.  Q.E.D. [More]


I don't think this reveler is going to necessarily like his new masters as they give him an education he either never dreamed of or didn't think applied to him.

Fortunately, men he never meets in higher education circles--men he no doubt reviles--stand in the way of that.

This Day in History: February 21
