Forget It Jake

It's Chi-Town. [More]

Just Great

I haven't seen the briefs filed in this, but have to say the emphasis, from this report, that the main argument was it would create a national registry doesn't seem particularly compelling to me, either. [More]

Of course, having a Bush the Elder judge joined by Carter and Clinton appointees should fill no one with hope except those looking for legal precedents to skin us with.

Now all SCOTUS has to do is ...nothing.

New NRA videos emphasize importance of expanding support now and for the future

That interest in gun rights should be fostered and supported among women and the next generation is self-evident...  [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column provides two tools to help do that.  All you need to do is pick them up and use them, that is, watch and share them.

Tell Us More

Well, since you asked... [More]

A Leash with Options

Kurt discusses the proper way to handle mad dogs. [More]

Do it for the children.

We're the Only Ones Dolt-Action Enough

Thank goodness New York has strict "gun control"! [More]

The thing I don't understand is, if one of us shot someone in the back -- in Queens -- for trying to steal our car, do you think we'd still be around a year later with or without guns in our trunk?

Just kids havin' fun.

ATSNTV: Shooting Destination Night

Tonight, 6 p.m. Pacific/9 Eastern: "Lunch Break Robbery." [Details]

It's Off

Armed march on D.C. canceled [More]
I never really thought it was "on."

Predicting a "Gotcha" Before It Happens

Not satisfied with attacking NRA for what they do, Joshua Sager is wetting himself over the prospect of what they MIGHT do. [More]

I don't suppose it strikes this idiot that if the plastic technology proves viable to be anything other than a curiosity for other idiots like Steve Israel to hemorrhage over, some existing gun manufacturers will jump on the bandwagon and new ones would be created.

Typical of "progressives" though--they refuse to acknowledge that capitalism/free markets expand opportunities.

Fighting Toomey-Manchin Gun Registration

GOA put out an email alert that does not appear on their website. Since I don't copy and paste entire emails on this blog, and since if I just summarize it and can't link you to the original you'll miss key information, I took the liberty of creating a pdf file and posting it at my Scribd account.

I run into this with a lot of activist group emails, particularly state groups, and urge them to create a place on their websites or on document storage sites like Scribd so that those of us who wish to support them but don't want to post an entire email can simply give our readers a link to the complete message.

Click here to read the GOA alert.

See? Now it can be shared on blogs and posted on social media like Facebook and Twitter.

Now YOU can share it.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

As folks around here will recall, I was strongly opposed to Holder’s nomination... [More]
Me too.  But those with the clout to make a difference didn't think it was worth expending the "political capital," whatever the hell that really means, and not enough "internet activists" lifted a finger to urge them otherwise.

Everything's Free in America

Hey, at least they're taking a firm stand on using EBT cards at strip clubs and casinos! [More] 

I see evil racist Fox News is still using the offensive term "illegal immigrant" instead of "undocumented Democrat."

My favorite is those who would remold and control introducing the term "DREAMers."  It sounds so much nicer than "generational biological warfare."

This Day in History: May 31

Part of the Virginia Light Horse crossed at Fredericks[burg] on Tuesday night; the Marquis' Troops (who are not strong enough for an action) were expected there last night, unless prevented by the enemy. Lord Cornwallis with the main body of the British army was at Hanover Court House (scarce fifty miles from Fredericksburg) on Tuesday morning, their object, no doubt, to defeat the Marquis' Troops before General Waine came up, or to prevent the junction: this intelligence comes from an officer sent express to General Waine and may be relied on. I think if the winds permit we may expect their fleet up this river in a very few days. Our situation in Virginia is truly critical and dangerous; a very few weeks, unless the enemy can be checked, will place Maryland in the same predicament. Nothing can speedily extricate the two States but the arrival of a strong French fleet which there is reason to expect every day. [More]
