Meanwhile, Over in Boss Daley Paradise

Why Did 1 Of 8 Girls Get Pregnant At Robeson High?

Officials Say A Mix Of Factors Are To Blame, As They Try To Help The Young Women [More]
Sounds like one of the solutions is to disarm you and me.

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Getting Sued Enough

Now Arambula, 35, who survived but faces a lifetime of pain, is suing the city of Phoenix and the officers who responded to his house that night. [More]
We talked about this here and here.

You remember--the "Only One" who did no wrong...?

We're the Only Ones First Enough

But rather than formally charge the 21-year veteran officer with the crimes that occurred over a two-month period this spring, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason’s office allowed Hooks to enter a program for first-time, non-violent offenders. [More]
See, "first time" for you and me means we did it once and got caught. "First time" for "Only Ones" means they can do it five times over a period of months and/or until they get caught, whichever one comes first and your actual mileage may vary.

But maybe I'm being to judgmental and harsh:
"He was treated as any other defendant who is faced with the same type of offense"...
Yeah, I believe that (although I wonder if he had a gun on his person during the commission of the crimes).

Just like I believe all the at-will employers I've ever had would have welcomed me back to the job after doing something like this and dragging their names into the papers right along with mine.

Nice to know that this common thief can carry a gun into a bar in Ohio and I'm not "allowed" to. Because he's more trustworthy.

If it were up to me, this parasite would be in a bread line somewhere. I know I sure wouldn't hire a damn thief--and oath breaker--who betrayed everything he's been paid--for decades--to represent.

Can 373 Trump 962?

We talked here about how dual-citizen Arnold signed the Caleefornyah gun ammo registry into law, treating gun owners like sex offenders.

You can watch the Austrian Oaf...uh...Oak and his fellow travelers congratulate each other here.

Now the Republican Assembly Leader says he has a plan to repeal the new law--by amending an existing section of CA Penal Code Sec. 12040 with AB 373, prohibiting wearing masks in order to conceal identity while carrying firearms. From Curt Hagman's website (for some reason, the specific link can produce a failure notice, so scroll down on the left of his site and click on "Read more"):

Can he do it? Can he get the votes?

Beats me, but he deserves credit for trying.

Gun Rights Documentary Filmmaker Shares Travel Experiences

I first introduced Gun Rights Examiner readers to Max Lemus and his project to record interviews with gun activists a few weeks back. He's finished with the interviews and is now in the process of sorting through many hours of footage to edit it into a finished product. But first he's taken time to reflect on his travels and share his experiences with us. [More]
This morning's third Gun Rights Examiner column introduces you to the subjects of a novel documentary.

Guess what?

Gun owners are pretty nice people. Well, there's one who's kind of a...but the bottom line is he's been bamboozled into thinking I'm OK.

I could have predicted the "nice" part. Note to controllers: Just leave us alone and stop forcing your will on us, and everything will turn out fine.

Hillary Clinton's State Department Reanimates Global Arms Treaty

See, we know what the globalist gun grabbers want. International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) director Rebecca Peters makes no secret of her desire to ban all light weapons. And all you really need to do is look at the knotted gun sculpture in front of the United Nations building to understand what the ultimate desire is. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that some things are non-negotiable.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Tell a friend?

Note I have a couple other things I need to post on Examiner today, so check back here for announcements or just check there throughout the day. I'm off to go work over there again.

This Day in History: October 16

On October 16, 1777, British troops invaded Kingston and torched over 300 homes, barns and other buildings. At the time, Kingston was the capital of New York, which was forced out of New York City when the British invaded there. The invasion forced the state government to move even further north and would eventually settle at Albany. [More]
