Jeez, they certainly make it difficult for people who...you know...work...

UPDATE: Per this discussion on Georgia Packing, the Georgia building Authority says this event will begin  at 9 a.m. You have to wonder if they are intentionally putting out confusing info. The person who sent me this link says he signed up for email notifications and was never contacted.

An Idolatrous Belief

"It’s an idolatrous belief,” he said, “that violence can produce security." [More]

What a damn fool.

ATF releases firearms trace data and lost and stolen gun report for 2012

The reports are out. They’re available. “Gun control” groups will use them. Gun rights advocates need to be aware of this, to understand this and to be prepared to refute the spin. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report links to some new resources your enemies will be happy to use against you and your gun-owning friends.  Will you be informed and prepared if they do? Will your friends?

The Expendables

Mike talks about his upcoming adventure, including why him and why now. [More]

I advised him to set up a bail fund immediately, not after the fact. I'm not talking about soliciting funds for it now, just having an account established so that when the time comes, there's a place for people who want to help to send assistance.

Mindless Trumpeting

"When are we going to address the elephant in the room?" [More]

OK, Karen, you have the floor, such as we can see through all that dung you're smearing around with your feet.

Meanwhile, the "Thank you sir, may I have another"  Media Masochists, who admit "It is notoriously difficult to determine why crime rises and falls" out of one side of their mouth, are naturally, out of the other side, lashing out at NRA for observing this inconvenient truth.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Greener Pastures

We need to demand this of more gun companies we do business with. I note how many want to mouth platitudes but do nothing concrete. [More]

That, and follow the example set by leaders like Mark Serbu...

For starters, showing any company selling to cops in NYC, LA and Chicago that they have competitors...

Putting the Hammer Down

“They will not be able to purchase a gun until they have been treated, and a psychiatrist says they need relief from disability,” said Hammer. [More]
OK, and I assume you've identified a statewide list of psychiatrists who will go on record saying they'll be willing to do this, their risk management folks are OK with this, and their malpractice insurance providers are all on board with it?

Have you, Marion?  Will you share what you've got on that with us? And what this is likely to cost, and what inequities in access to justice will arise from that?

This whole mental health blanket dragnet business will indeed prove the devil is in the details.
