Holder: Mass Shootings on the Rise

Like there is a statistically valid correlations from such a small sampling to draw such conclusions. [More]

I note this article does not define "mass shootings" nor differentiate between some nut job exploiting a "gun free zone" and Chi-Town Democrats enjoying a typical weekend. But the impression has been made, courtesy of selective "real reportering" from our good pals at the Associated Press.

Also unmentioned: Shootings with walked guns that took place before Holder's tenure and after, and of course, shootings by local, state and federal "Only Ones"...

Free downloads for second book in ‘Enemies’ trilogy start today

As such, it’s not an easy book to face up to, and is, in this era of suppressing and attacking anyone who dares challenge “progressive” correctness, a brave one. The author was fully aware of the charged criticism some would level on him for reacting to existing movements and extrapolating existing trends into a potential near-future scenario. [More]

This afternoon’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an offer you shouldn't want to refuse.

The Anti-Gun Ignoramus Loophole

Why does Napoleon Dynamite come to mind here? [More]

This is one of the reasons I think it inadvisable for pro-gun groups to do anything but flat-out oppose edicts being drafted. Trying to help mitigate finer points means guiding the enemy through unfamiliar territory--best to just warn against venturing there in the first place, but if they insist, let them find the crevasses on their own when they fall into them.

We're the Only Ones for Reasons Given Enough

Reasons was given his pistol after trial and instructed to be more careful with his firearms when out of his native state In the future. [More]
And the corrupt "Only Ones" were canned?

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

We're the Only Ones Selectively Enforcing Enough

Two sets of standards?  And all of a sudden a gate appears in that "wall of separation" between church and state? [More]
Here's what really needs to be determined--were frames or receivers transferred? 

My favorite bit:
The dean of the Cathedral, the Rev. Gary Hall, spoke at Mrs. Feinstein’s media event. Wearing a clerical collar and standing in front of the illegal guns, he said that, “I can no longer justify a society that allows people other than military and police to own weapons like these.”
Well gee, Gar, you "progressive" hipster, you, seeing as how much the "justification" of a police state fascist hiding behind a collar means to me... say, you're not going to accompany the confiscation teams, by any chance, are you?

Define "Large"

Possession of large amounts of weapons, ammunition, explosives, accelerants, or explosive precursor chemicals could indicate pre-operational terrorist attack planning or criminal activity. [More
Pretty much the same way possession of hands could indicate pre-operational strangling attack planning, I suppose...

Connecticut gun group honored as ‘Organization of the Year’

Anyone who has ever been part of an organizational effort knows there's always such a core, who bear most of the burden and who make most of the personal sacrifices, enduring no shortage of slings and arrows, and getting up to do it again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. And they don't do it for awards. [More]
This morning’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes it’s appropriate to say “Thank you” on occasion to those who merit it. It’s even more appropriate to lend a hand and help those bearing heavy burdens on our behalf.

This Day in History October 21

We were supposed to build barracks there. But because we did not want to agree to that right away, but rather made ourselves straw huts, we were treated very severely. A sharp command from the corporal forced us to build the barracks and it was our good fortune because all our straw huts were consumed by fire on October 21, 1781. [More]
