DHS answers FOIA on ‘domestic extremists’

Their bottom line:

"Unfortunately, we were unable to locate or identify any responsive records." [More]
Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column brings a response that would indicate we're free to actively object to TSA screening processes without fear of being classified as "domestic extremists."

Who wants to put it to the test?

The Fire Sale Loophole

Constitution Watch advises us on H.R. 263, the Authorization for Even More Federal Gun Thefts Act of 2011, brought to us courtesy of the usual cabal of domestic enemies. [Read]

We're the Only Ones Young at Heart Enough

Jason Hignight, 32, resigned as a Lubbock police officer shortly before detectives arrested him Tuesday evening.  Hignight is charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child. [More]
And again, the "Authorized Journalists" have failed to investigate a key question of protocol...

We're the Only Ones in it for Life Enough

A federal judge has ordered a life sentence for a southern Illinois sheriff convicted of trafficking marijuana on the job and later trying to have two potential witnesses against him killed. [More]
And Illinois, with "Only One" carry laws, is just the place to do it!

We're the Only Ones Going to the Wall Enough

An off-duty Norfolk police officer accidentally fired his personal gun inside his home on Thursday. The bullet hit the wall in his home... [More]
Norfolk...Norfolk...wasn't I just reading something about their excellent training standards...?

We're the Only Ones Punchy Enough

If this animal would do this to one of his own, imagine what he'd do to one of us. [Watch and read]

Complete and full information was withheld from the Chief? And multiple sworn officers all the way up the command structure knew about this? So it's more than "a few bad apples"?

Isn't that what is known as "obstruction of justice" and a "criminal conspiracy"?

Will "I had no idea/nobody told me" work?

Where does the buck stop?

[Via Mack H]

In Perpetuity

The hard work of creating a more perfect union never stops. [More]
Nor, apparently, does the work of destroying it, as this neo-con statist fraud Leavitt has proven throughout his career.

[Via Lane]

Speaking of Just Giving Them What They Want...

Worker at Coventry Township storefront casino shot in head [More]
After he handed over the money.

It's that question the Bradys never seem to answer: What if what they want is you...?

Clear Intent

The single shot ended a tense and terrifying encounter with a gunman who was soft-spoken and chatty, but made it clear he intended harm. [More]
So just giving him what he wanted was not an option? Maybe somebody from the Bradys could tell us what to do then?

Aside from close your eyes and think of England...?

Damned "Castle Doctrine"...

[Via Ed M]

Meanwhile, Over in Sarah Brady Para...uh...Occupied Territory...

A PSNI officer has gone on trial accused of possessing too many firearms. [More]
 "They're always after me Lucky Charms..."


Looks like the Crown's man is hoist with his own petard. You can own too many firearms?


And, speaking of Lucky Charms, I wonder what those who say you can ate for breakfast?

Empowering Hussein Hamdani

I was stunned at how powerful I felt with the gun in my hand. [More]
Well, there's your problem right there.

It's YOU.
"Guns empower cowards and criminals..."

Kind of an ironic bit of sick projection going on there after your initial admission, wouldn't you say, guy?

We're the Only Ones with Budding Careers Enough

A Winter Haven police officer is accused of pilfering a "marijuana bud" following the department's seizure of marijuana plants from a home. [More]
See, if you're going to steal someone elses's plants, it's important that you follow official department protocol.


Let's see, the "few bad apples" metaphor doesn't seem to work well here.  Maybe "a few stems and seeds," but otherwise it's great sh...?

And I wonder if this will qualify for Chuckie's reporting proposal?

[Via Ed M]

In the Service of the Emperor

Obama: "We Welcome China's Rise" [Read]

Overheard, while showing submission:

A Cause for Unrest

"Weapons, especially … an automatic rifle, have no place in a synagogue," Baer said. [More]
Hey, don't tell us.

Tell them.
 They don't approve of Jewish "vigilantes" either.

Bagel-brain.

[Via Defender]

Off the Charts

Funny graphic.  Or is it? [Read]

Is Harry Reid no longer ‘a true champion of the Second Amendment’?

Are we seeing the beginnings of a new public direction for our true champion, one motivated not by any oath of office or past loyalties, but by blatant self-interest? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks what may be the secret of Reid's success--not that I'm suggesting a caption contest for the accompanying photo or anything...

Also watch a rerun.
