Lawsuits likely outcome of Isla Vista ‘day of retribution’ killings

Who does that leave to sue? Ours is a litigious society, and survivors will want someone besides the killer to “pay.” And it’s not like there will be a shortage of attorneys licking their chops at a chance to rifle through deep pockets.

So who’s left? [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report asks if NRA is really to blame for the shootings, why is it if anyone shells out money for being sued, they won’t be among them?

University Chronicle: “Crime Prevention Research Center Announces Academic Advisory Board Members”

You remember my column on John Lott's new venture?

He's building a team.

Members are listed here.

Top men. (And a woman.)

He needs our help.

By contributing and by spreading the word.

Make that today's "Five Minute Activism" project?

All your transactions are belong to us. [More]

Yeah, that'll have an impact on the reasons given to justify such harassment and added expense..

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Top Secret

It's not just this guy,. Him they can get out--it's everyone he associated with. [More]

And then we see, after the list went out "to a distribution list of more than 6,000 recipients" that "The name was left off of a subsequent report filed from Bagram."

Oh, so that's who it was!

People and their families and friends could end up dead from this.  And why is it a fricking WaPo reporter knew who and what the guy was?

The constant reminders of Leviathan's institutional incompetence and laziness contrast starkly with the intended impression of omnipotence and invulnerability.

But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Running for Office

Protecting your 2nd amendment rights isn't just about gun control laws but also includes other issues. I have two sons who attend Bloomfield Public Schools where teachers teach the Constitution but conveniently skip over the 2nd amendment.I will fight not only for restoring civil liberties that have been infringed upon but also work towards ensuring that our kids learn about the Constitution in the way our founding fathers intended...

 If you're from CT, or have friends or family who are, tell them about this guy so they can learn more.

We're the Only Ones Cryptic Enough

“People out there in scanner land will know our movements and know our tactics. It’s just a pure officer safety issue.” [More]
I mean, he'll see everything, he'll ... he'll see the Big Board!

I don't know what the concern is -- after all, "It's an industry standard across the country."

Plus citizen oversight is so tedious, and besides, we have "legitimate news media" in this country to keep us free!

Hail the Conquering Heroes


Why, it's just like the liberation of Paris!  [Watch]

And look, "That's Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn at the trigger."  You know, the guy who "said he 'fully' supports President Barack Obama's proposals to pass a new ban on assault weapons, limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, require background checks for virtually all gun sales and further limit armor-piercing bullets."

Thanks for putting it all in perspective, "legitimate media!" It's for our safety! Plus it's fun for the whole family!

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...

Just like that New World Order the Pentagon is hawking in its propagan... uh ... news reports.

We're the Only Ones Chugging Along Enough

A lady on the scene told them she did not see the crash, but saw a male subject throwing beer cans from the vehicle into the ditch, according to the report. [More]
Gosh, I hope they find his shoe.

We're the Only Ones D.A.R.E.ing Enough


The arrests included Aaron Gage Campbell, 22, of the Crossville Police Department, as well as Kyle Jay Eldridge, 36, a Crossville codes enforcement officer. [More]
From the same group that would be happy to roll up in an MRAP, do a dynamic entry right through the front door, kill your dog, shoot you for trying to react to a home invasion, find out they're at the wrong house and chalk it all up to established department protocol...

So Much for that Wall of Separation

Besides, tolerance and diversity are what make us great. [More]

As long as it doesn't have to be reciprocated.  I'm still waiting for the usual suspects to force this issue.

Surely they can do better than Adam Gopnik. [More]

Still, he proves my point.

For those of you who don't speak Huttese, I think what he said was "I like Captain Solo where he is." [More]

I still don't get the gutlessness about this

The Justice Department is updating a report on how many guns the federal government has. [More]
And don't forget how much ammo.

Greuel Intentions

This is what will be replacing Waxman. [More]

The primary and election are mere formalities.  And say, look at what money you spend with Disney helps make happen.

Why does that not surprise me?

I heard something the other day I want to ask her about.  I think I will:

Naturally, if I hear anything I'll pass it on.

Self-Made Stars

The internet is like crack-cocaine for the human ego. And we’re all addicted. [More]
I like the fact the writer didn't go blaming guns. And he's got some terrific insights that need to be stated and shared. That said, there's some implied collective guilt that brings to mind the old "What you mean we, Kemosabe?" punchline.

The internet is also like a tool for those who see the information gatekeepers are often ignorant, asleep, corrupt...

Some understand and primarily use it that way, and what they share is not about themselves, but about things that are much more important.  Some understand that so-called "social media" can provide ways of climbing over, going around or tunneling under the gates, and that if we don't use it to our advantage, those intent on controlling us most certainly will.

Granted, for the most part I guess the guy is right.

Red, Right?

Well, you shouldn't.  I wouldn't sell one to you.

Hey, I Remember that Song!

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition...

Providing the guy doing the praising lets you...
