A WRSA Twofer

This...

and this.

The second one I'll have more to say on later, point 3) in particular. It made a lightbulb click on, and I haven't had time to think through how I want to shine it.

Oh, hell, might as well make it a Threefer.

You know, a "spate"...?

GRE Round Up for Mar. 3

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:
McDonald v City of Chicago

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010 and McDonald: where selective incorporation means selective enforcement.
Safer Streets 2010 and McDonald: no such thing as a reasonable gun law.

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
Go. Read. And please share the links.

What Was Not Brought up in Yesterday's Supreme Court Gun Case Arguments

Now limp up here and get your certificate.

Can't We All Get Along?

As the public debate continues, we are asking all interested parties to refrain from putting Starbucks or our partners into the middle of this divisive issue. [More]
I agree.

The story broke a month ago, and they didn't mess with us, although they could have.

I think it's time to leave them alone on this. And stop giving the Bradys the attention they demand.

Should Naomi Campbell Push for 'Gun Control' or Self Control?

Which makes it interesting that Ms. Campbell lent her name to the magazine Marie-Claire's anti-gun efforts, when they "asked celebrities...to join us in our campaign for sensible gun laws." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at the lifestyles of the rich and famous gungrabbers.

Violent little things, aren't they?

Also get another perspective on some officially-sanctioned toy thieves, meet a martial artist from Reno, and find out what I'll be talking about later today on Trigger Sports LIVE! (assuming ol' Bessie doesn't drop dead in mid-furrow...)

it is true I refused the Drover a Guard for the Cattle and the reasons were on Account of the Smallness of my Numbers. four Hundred troops Newly Arived from Cumberland and York Countys but only One Hundred of them at that time had reced any Arms, and near half of them was without Flints.

I advised the Drover to take a Course further Back in the Country, where I concluded they might Pass without Danger. In this Condition I was not Abel to furnish the Guards and Patroles Sufficient for the safety of my Camp Nevertheless had I Suspected the Least of Danger from so great a Distan from the Enemy I should have sent what Men I had Equipt with them.
