Ronnie Barrett has been nominated for the Board of Directors of the NRA. Barrett is a well known fighter in defending American’s Second Amendment rights, and is seriously needed at this moment in time.
You’ll recall that Barrett refuses to sell products to California law enforcement agencies due to their policy of actively infringing on the rights of gun owners.
In Alabama:
It shall be unlawful for any person, other than a law enforcement officer, to have in his or her possession or on his or her person or in any vehicle any firearm while participating in or attending any demonstration being held at a public place.
So, don’t go strapped at a tea party or anti-war rally. Speaking of, I haven’t seen any anti-war rallies in the news lately. Odd, that.
Update: Rusty reminds us that in TN, if your protest is in a park, that carry in parks bill has not passed yet.
Update 2: Indeed: Sorta Like You Didn’t See Any Tea Parties While Bush Was In Office
But I haven’t really seen those in the news either.

Update: can you see the video? For some reason, it’s not showing up for me.
And Reasoned Discoursetm breaks out:
In the future please ignore these Trolls as their comments will get removed.
Looks to be going the same way as all their other online endeavors:
The Brady’s also have a page on Facebook that has a forum for people who “join the group”. The majority of the posts and threads are by pro-gun advocates w/ nary a Brady supporter to be heard.
So if ‘gun control’ is so popular, where are the supporters?
And more on the anti-gunners lack of internet success here. The still have their parrots in the press though.
A man who tried to rob people at an Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting is dead after being shot.
Regardless, they call it Raw Story because it’s never well done:
Seven million people have applied for criminal background checks since November in an effort to buy guns, according to the FBI. That figure doesn’t include Virginia, whose gun shows don’t require any background checks.
Uh, wrong.
US eases travel and money restrictions. Still can’t get cigars though. But Rusty lets us know you can get some fine Nicaraguan cigars.
So, by now, everyone has read the various comments on the 20/20 hit piece on guns. But the more interesting bit is that the game is rigged. The did a scenario to prove that a gun wouldn’t help in a mass shooting. Despite evidence to the contrary. The scenario is that they put a bunch of non-CCW holders in a room, the had less than adequate training, and it’s clear that the shooter knew who was strapped. The game was rigged. Watch it here. As Sebastian notes:
Raise you hand if you carry a retention holster concealed at 1:00?
Now, let’s replay the scenario with real equipment. The mass shooter doesn’t know who is strapped. Or, hell, we’ll let him know who is strapped only the armed citizen is played by Todd Jarrett. We can rig the game too.
More realistically, any CCW holder would have a better advantage if the mass muderer didn’t know who was packing. In a mass shooting, some one is going to die. It’s just a question of how quickly they are stopped.
Update: more here: Active Shooters don’t tend to be trained firearms instructors.
True and they don’t usually do dynamic entries.
Even our local paper is falling for the lies:
The permitting process is clearly flawed. A study last month by the Commercial Appeal in Memphis found as many as 70 Shelby County residents were issued permits despite criminal histories, including arrests for robbery, assault and domestic violence.
Now we learn that Jiverly Wong, the Binghampton shooter, was also a qualified handgun owner. He mailed a copy of his gun permit to a television station before going on his killing spree.
This was in between gratuitous references to Columbine. Like the hacks in the AP, Jack is conflating a permit to carry (like we have in TN) with a permit required to own (like they have in NY but do not require in TN).
Spokane parks to detonate squirrels.
Using the Rodenator that we talked about once.
In Memphis, Firearms Experts Offer Advice for First Time Gun Buyers.
Now, you or I may take issue with the advice. But it is more important to note that something pro-gun is running in the press.
In TN, a bill in the senate passed overwhelmingly to require photo ID to vote. It’s not enough. We should do background checks and initiate a waiting period so you don’t vote out of anger. For the children. Turns out, people on the left aren’t big fans of reasonable restrictions on voting rights. It’s voter suppression.
I’ve never listened to Michael Savage. But apparently the right wing loon went on a tirade about banning weapons that look like assault weapons. JPFO sets him straight. Now, maybe he can get back to hating Muslims and making fun of autistic kids.
DHS issues reports on the dangers of right wing extremism. And veterans, of course, are right wing extremists.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation‘s Ted Novin emails:
STAYING OUT OF THE CROSS HAIRS . . . ABC’s 20/20 ran a hit piece on firearms and firearms’ owners on Friday evening. NSSF was asked numerous times by 20/20 Senior Producer Muriel Pearson to participate in the story, but understanding the piece was a set-up we refused. “After pointing out to Ms. Pearson that our refusal to participate in the program did not absolve her team of their responsibility to ask hard-hitting questions of those supporting gun control, we supplied 20/20 with information on the more than 20,000 gun laws on the books and data from the Department of Justice and Bureau of Justice Statistics related to firearms,” said NSSF Director of Public Affairs Ted Novin. “Unfortunately, given 20/20’s refusal to disclose any of the information we provided — information that interfered with their already pre-established and desired anti-gun conclusion — it has become all too clear that journalistic impartiality on firearms issues at 20/20 is limited to John Stossel.”
What media bias against guns?
A lot more on 20/20’s hit piece on guns from David Rittgers:
Picking people without concealed carry permits to represent the armed citizen and rigging the scenario to ensure that they don’t defeat your narrative is propaganda, not journalism.
Meanwhile, Sensibly Progressive on the hatchet job:
Ms. Sawyer set out to do an anti-gun piece, the real central question of which was “why don’t we have stricter gun laws” (asked repeatedly), and she succeeded.

Wow. Spendy though.
Didn’t work them into a post, but some stuff:
That thing that Hillary lied and said happened to her? Actually happened to U.S. congressman Donald Payne.
Pirates make the news for taking a US ship. Pirates get killed. It took a few days longer than it should have. Right on cue, the AP comes out says that maybe dealing with pirates like that is a bad idea. They’re such nice guys.

You know, ABC is cranking up its ZOMG BE SCARED OF GUNS meme. So, where is token Libertarian John Stossel? He’s done pro-gun pieces before. Perhaps the only pro-gun pieces on ABC. Just curious where he’s been.
ABC news continues its assault on guns and gun owners: Before Arranging Playdates, Ask About Guns
They are telling people to be afraid of gun owners. And try to make gun owners look like lunatics ready to snap at any moment. More at Newsbusters.
