Dod at American Manifesto had a letter published in the Philly Inquirer refuting the old militia argument.  Again.
After a hard day with the kid yesterday, I had a sad realization.  Arguing with the antis is a lot like arguing with a four year old.  The arguments don’t make any sense.  They change on a dime.  [...]

Alphecca has a link to a quote from Mayor Mike, calling for Plaxico Burress’ head for carrying his gun without the required New York state pistol permit.  He goes on to comment:
While I agree that sports stars, Hollywood stars, politicians, et al, shouldn’t be above the law and should suffer the same penalties as the [...]

Sebastian takes to task a collaborator who doesn’t see the point of black rifles. Sebastian makes a great point:
When these people come for your sport, if they already have my AR-15, I’m out of the fight.  I do not hunt — I’m a competitive target shooter, and I carry a pistol for self-defense.  My interest [...]

I’m back from my conference.  It was a great few days.  Final tally:

The day is here.  Obama has won.  Guns are flying off the shelf.  You can’t buy an Evil Black Rifle to save your life.
Before he took it down, his transition website contained this gem (rescued from the memory hole by Google cache.)  The important part:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal [...]

In local news, Wesley Chapel, NC just unanimously passed an ordinance effectively outlawing target practice within the village.  The new law prohibits the discharge of a firearm except in self defense, by a law enforcement officer on duty, to kill a dangerous animal, or by a licensed hunter.  Target shooting is prohibited.
The ordinance is aimed [...]

Bitter has linked to a letter in the Philadelphia Inquirer that appears to be from a woman whose child was murdered in Philadelphia.
My beloved son was stolen from me on Oct. 4, 2006. I say “stolen” because that’s what happens. Our children aren’t “lost,” they are stolen from us by a horrid evil that lives [...]
