McCarthy blames Norway shootings on ‘lax U.S. gun laws’!

Of course this does not take into account that it took police an hour and a half to respond to the shooting—or that citizens and even a policeman on scene were disarmed by Norwegian law.  But that never stopped a blood dancer from stomping in puddles to see how far they could spread the spatter.

Appropriations Committee calls for independent Gunwalker investigation

"[T]he House Appropriations Committee included report language in the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill (H.R. 2596; H. Rept. 112-169) that recommends the appointment of 'an outside, independent investigator,' who would be charged with conducting 'a thorough investigation of the allegations against ATF with respect to Operation Fast and Furious and policies guiding this and similar operations.'” [More]

Hey, I figure if they can rip off my work in Google-translated Spanish, I can rip off Shelley...

Speaking of TSA...

Received via email:
TSA is trying to kill the armed pilots program. Pilots are very sensitive to how much stuff they want to lug around on trips. Instead of allowing them to keep the USP compact concealed in a bag of their choice, they will be requiring they be carried in a large metal box, 10 pounds without the gun. Some are already not re qualifying in anticipation of the new rules.
"Any way to source this?" asks I.

The reply:
My dad just called me apoplectic (the gun is the way for them to bypass the slave-training/security but now the inconvenience of the box.....). got done with his requal and they gave him "the box". I'll try to get him to email me a picture. They're very secretive about the whole program for unknown reasons so I doubt there will be a press release.
The picture:
It's the silver one on the left.
I think this would be more effective if they put "GUN" on the side in big red letters.

And I'm told:
For more back story, when the program first started, TSA was going to make them use the smaller box on the right. Due to outcry, they let them carry concealed in a bag of their choice. Now the big silver kevlar "back pack" will be required.

UPDATE: From a different source:
Don't list me as a source (SSI), but it is not silver, and it is not a backpack. I don't have one yet (and will avoid it for as long as possible), but it is black, nylon or perhaps kevlar soft-side case designed to accommodate a lock. Guess they got tired of discharges from the previous idiotic system, so they replaced it with a new idiotic system.
No idea why a discrepancy, but it appears the basic facts are borne out. Maybe they have different models for different pilots...?

We're the Only Ones Deathly Hallows Enough

Connecticut Cop Shot During Porn Bust Outside Harry Potter Showing [More]

More detail here:
Two police officers who arrived at the scene of an arrest in the parking lot of the AMC Loews Theatre Saturday morning were wounded after fellow Plainville officers shot at their police car, a state police investigation found.

The suspect, Erik Gothberg, 45, of Southington, had left the theater and was approaching his car when police tried to arrest him, the police report states. Gothberg reached for his waistband, and Sgt. Timothy Mullaney and Cpl. Jon Eno opened fire, the report states.

Yeah, they couldn't possibly have taken him in less public-endangering circumstances or had any indication he was violent--and lo and behold, he didn't have a weapon. Yeah, he "went for his waistband." Maybe he was scratching. Or maybe trigger-happy Frick and Frack--a corporal and a sergeant, so it's not like we're dealing with rookies here--are shoot-first idiots who will do anything to make sure it's they who go home at the end of their shift--even if their "brother" officers don't.

A Useful Crowbar?

Only if wielded...
Making noise and banging pots and stomping is what made the Gunwalker story break loose from...not even the Gun Blogosphere but the much more limited-in-reach the Threepersphere--and it's the only way we're going to continue to gain ground and get media, and thus political attention, fighting for every damned inch.

Those of us pushing and pulling can't do it alone. Please share this link far and wide, not just with your friends but with other blogs, forums, and especially with media outlets and your political representatives.

We're the Only Ones Trained Enough

One officer was struck in the thigh with a bullet, the other was hit by a "rock or shrapnel" from a bullet...Police were conducting training when the shooting happened...[More]
Well, we're always being told they're better trained than we are...and I have to admit, this is a learning curve I've never gone through.

We're the Only Ones Unpunished Enough

She also discussed her approach to discipline in the police department, which she believes has become far too "punitive" among "paramilitary organizations." She opts for additional training for officers, in place of disciplinary actions. [More]
So basically she thinks of herself as the commander of a standing occupational force...?

Is she wrong?

Hey, look at one of her peacekeepers is being charged with!

Seems to me indicting the poor guy for carrying on the time-honored tradition of occupying forces going back thousands of years is a bit...you know, punitive...

'Manorexia' on the rise: Experts blame pressure from male models as more men than ever suffer eating disorders [More]
Good Lord.

Yeah, that pressure from male models can be brutal!

Here's me on Independence Day, finally relaxing after barbecuing for 30, doing my best to fight the scourge of manorexia. I'm binging here. I wouldn't have to purge for at least another hour as I recall, although the two Draughtkegs of Heineken and Newcastle Brown Ale were doing their best to work their magic.

Does this cigar make me look phat?

One Hell of an Effective Spokesperson

Michelle Malkin understands the issues.



Point of order:

Get this widget | Track details | eSnips Social DNA

Still, she really is one of the few who "gets it." And she's always been generous about extending credit to those not as well known. That tells me much about integrity.

True story on this--younger feral son Qusay (well, that name part's not true) came running downstairs telling me some lady said my and Vanderboegh's name on Fox--I was surprised he was watching that channel and he told me he wasn't--he was surfing and just happened to randomly hear it--is that some coincidence or what?

By the way, I had to produce that sound clip because the guy doing promos for my radio show couldn't seem to grok it when I spelled it out for him phonetically.

We're the Only Ones in Need of Help Enough

These officers deserve the same help from the public that a civilian would deserve...[More]
Well, first of all, they are civilians.  Forgetting that seems one of the reasons we're in this home invasion police state mess we're in. And second, we see how helpful the New Jersey police establishment has been to citizens beset by violent crime--they insist on defenselessness.  If anyone gave the officer the kind of help he really needed, none of this tip line after the crime nonsense, they'd have been setting themselves up to be arrested--maybe even by the person they saved.

Frustrated? NYT Has Just the Solution!

Gun lobby sycophants in Congress are calling the regulation a smoke screen to distract attention from a gun-tracking operation botched by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Known straw buyers made purchases that were supposed to lead to the cartels’ main brokers. But hundreds of guns disappeared into Mexico, and two turned up at the scene of a shootout where an American Border Patrol guard was killed. If anything, the ill-conceived operation, which deserves the fullest investigation, is a measure of the firearms bureau’s frustration in dealing with porous American law. [More]

And citizen disarmament sycophants are desperate liars.  What a shameful diseased mutation of a free press these creatures have become. What pathetic excuses for journalists, and for human beings.

May history remember their treachery and revile their memory.  It will after we win.

What is Joe DeCecco Afraid Of? Aside from Freedom?

"It is outrageous when, hiding behind a constitutional right, special interest groups' paranoia and extreme views put our officers at risk when they are simply trying to do their sworn duty and remain as safe as possible," said Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco in a news release Wednesday. "The present prohibition endangers the officers upon whom we depend for public safety, and reflects the extreme agenda and paranoia of the National Rifle Association and other gun lobbying groups that advanced these provisions. What are they afraid of?" [More]
Well, for one thing, we're not afraid of you, you Marxist pig.  And we're not hiding. We're marching right out in the open and taking what is ours.

Don't like it? Good.

What the f*** do you think their sworn duty is--or yours, for that matter, you bloated piece of s***?

You don't trust an armed citizenry? Talk about paranoia.

One correction--Ol' Raymond Burr clone here is  not a DA. He's a DE.

Will Gunwalker export violations bust criminal investigation wide open?

Those exports were a clear violation of US weapons export laws, and the USGOV knowingly conspired and allowed those weapons to leave the United States without, (1) A valid US Department of State Export License, (2) a valid End Use statement signed by an appropriate Mexican GOV authority attesting as to the use and end destination of the weapons, and (3) a valid Import License issued by the GOV of Mexico documenting approval for the weapons to enter Mexican sovereign territory.

Republicans vote to block funding for new gun-sale requirements  [More]

And Rep. Moran proves what a morON he is with that "virtual wholesale slaughter" bit of public pantie-wetting.

Keep after these bastards--use every damn trick in the book and cede no yardage.  Especially when ours is the high ground.

And tell Rep. Rehberg "Thanks."

Shut up, Tom Ridge—Bachmann’s a better candidate than you would be!

Shut up Ridge. Talk about a rascal who needs to be thrown out. As far as I’m concerned “Republicans” like you are bigger threats than any Democrat simply by your ability to subvert the party from the inside. The only people who will listen to you are party hacks über alles, the ignorant, and those who can be cowed. I can’t think of a single freedom-loving man or woman I know and respect who views a bloated statist career parasite like you as anything other than exactly that. [More]

A Burning Issue

The only way to prevent this sort of thing from happening again is to track the weapon back to the gun manufacturer, then burn its factory to the ground. [More]

Fire Eric Holder: Send Money

First, please sign our National Petition to Fire Eric Holder...Second, after you sign our Petition, please help NRA's fight this critical battle by making a contribution of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 or the most generous amount you can afford to NRA Voice of Freedom today. [More]

The first part sounds good on the surface, but what effect will that have on gathering evidence against him, charging him and prosecuting him if he's out of the way and no longer an active target for focus?

Anyway, it's not a "real" petition and it asks for money--Hey, that's exactly what that lying "NRA Winning Team" asshole accused me of doing in his attempt to sabotage my successful one-man drive to  remove "collective rights" language from the Federal Register. And who then went on to do exactly what he falsely accused me of doing.

Go figure.

Kind of funny that the folks who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Gunwalker are now using it for fundraising--of course, I also thought it was kind of funny when they made great hay of their leadership in it at the annual meeting--all the while relegating the award ceremony for those who actually have led on this story off premises, out of sight and away from them.

In terms of the donations they're asking for, I have a better idea: If you have the money to throw at self-serving grandstanding like this, why not instead support the guy taking point in this story? Is a buck a month voluntary subscription really too much to ask for all the value you get from all the work he does?
