Of course, it was no big deal in 1938.

Times Community:

A meeting on preventing gun violence scheduled at the Centreville Regional Library for June 4 was canceled because pro-gun activists were videotaping it.

About 30 people showed up for an informational meeting about gun laws organized by the Million Moms March of Northern Virginia, according to Terry Hartnett, past president of the organization.

Before it started, organizers asked two men associated with the Virginia Citizens Defense League wanting to videotape the meeting to sign a handwritten contract promising to use any “photographic representations” recorded for private use only.

One of them refused, and the meeting was canceled, said Hartnett, a Burke resident.

“We just want to have meetings without everything getting distorted and ending up on YouTube,” Hartnett said.

People fear youtube!

Staring at a police dog is animal cruelty?

Ohio CCW : It is being reported that Pennsylvania may not be honoring non-resident Concealed Handgun Licenses any longer.

Someone did one. He hasn’t known me for a thousand years. More like 25. It looks nothing like me, I don’t have an AK.

I dunno, Google maps can be scary. Of course, per Google, my house is still a field.

Hey, remember all that talk about allowing handguns in parks and whatnot? Nevermind. Maybe next year.

Looks like Pilot Oil is going to start selling Ethanol 85. That would be good news for yours truly and the environment as I drive a vehicle that will take that. But I’m boycotting Pilot Oil since one of it’s owners, Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, is a member of the Joyce Foundation funded Mayors Against Guns.

How to write an anti-gun editorial.

The new NITWit is Coble.

And Brittney’s other blog is about to get a lot more kick ass!

Seen here:

The only way we are going to be able to get a good set of reasonable laws controlling access to firearms by persons who have demonstrated their willingness to break the law is to guarantee the law abiding gun owner that a future congress cannot enact a law mandating confiscation like happened in Australia.

There’s more to it than that. Additionally, additional restrictions on types should not be tolerated.

Homemade guns. And they don’t even have a Home Depot.

I hope it’s a gag. But Brittney has apparently turned in her resignation at NIT due to some pants-shitting hysterics by a prominent moonbat blogger. Sad to see ya go. The lefty blogs have few sane voices and now they have one less.

Update: background here.

Update: Wage nails it: this is one of the most spectacular examples of groupthink stupidity I think I have ever seen in my entire life..

Red’s Trading Post, a gun shop under fire from the ATF for various clerical violations, now has a blog to tell their story. Via David.

John Edwards copy of the Constitution: An easily entertained population, being necessary to the feelings of a warm and fuzzy electorate, the right of the people to download porn and games, shall not be infringed.

But now someone’s gonna tell me that really means only the state can have computers.

Update: Pattycakes: As far as I’m concerned, he’s 0 for 6 on this one. It’s worth pointing out that Edwards is a lawyer. Must have slept through con-law.

Our young, they taste like chicken.

It’s not just gun nuts but moonbats too.

Update: My sentiments exactly.

Update 2: Looks like people in comments are calling for Brittney’s job over a little copying and pasting. It’s a bit ironic that the criticism of bias is coming from the left when B-Ho has been accusing NIT of being biased the other direction for a while.

Total haul: 404 cellphones, 69 iPods, 23 other electronic devices, two knives and one imitation gun.

An insider notes: Raids like the one that took place at MS 54 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side have become a routine part of the ongoing effort to control cell phone use in school. The police show up with metal detectors in the morning when the kids are first coming to classes and conduct a search, confiscating any banned items.

So, we have the armed police enforcing school policy? Well, it’s NY. Guess you gotta acclimate them to the nanny early.

Guess who they’re talking about when they say a billionaire, Boston-grown evangelist for the nanny state?

Gonzales expands the ATF. And proposes a law:

As part of today’s announcement, the Department of Justice proposed the Violent Crime and Anti-Terrorism Act of 2007, a comprehensive package including violent crime legislation that amends and strengthens existing laws to ensure that federal law enforcement agencies are able to successfully investigate and prosecute many types of violent crime. The proposed bill will improve existing criminal laws to close gaps and strengthen penalties, provide greater flexibility in the penalties that could be imposed on federal firearms licensees who violate the Gun Control Act, and restore the binding nature of sentencing guidelines. The bill also includes provisions that strengthen laws pertaining to drug enforcement, terrorism and child pornography.

And, yes, I know. The ATF was absorbed into the Justice Department. But it’s original purpose was to collect taxes as part of the treasury.

against politically incorrect dogs:

How many newspapers have reported the CDC report (from 1998 that’s 10 years old at this point) as a source stating that 32% of reported deaths caused by dogs from 1979-1997 (or most common is the 51% caused by Rottweilers and pit bulls and their mixes). Of those, how many have actually read the entire CDC report that then notes that they find the report to be inconclusive because their stats are subject to breed mis-identification, because they come from newspaper reports that are often biased, that it is unclear how to count statistics by crossbred dogs and even if all of those issues are resolved, the numbers are meaningless without knowing the total numbers of dogs by breed to put them into context?

Read it all.

In an update to overall crime being up, seems the WaPo may have left out one of the more important reasons:

Criminologists told the [Washington Post] that gangs and the release of large numbers of prisoners were in part responsible for the rising crime.

They’ll make a website about anything and include a hot girl. Via the mad man.

In other news, this is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Via Mr. C.

In Jackson, TN:

Council votes for guns in city parks

Jackson City Council members voted 7-2 Tuesday not to support a resolution that asks state legislators to kill a bill that would give some residents the right to carry a firearm onto city-owned property.

Tony Black, director of the city’s Recreation and Parks Department, brought the resolution before the council. Black told council members that a proposed state law would allow gun owners with state-issued concealed weapons permits to bring firearms into city parks and public recreation facilities.

Good.

Or, as I like to call them, target generators.

I kid, I don’t actually shoot birds. Well, the flying ones. You know.

Update: And, to be clear, I’m pointing out that I don’t like birds. Not that I shoot Mexicans.

Noted Poker Authority Ed Miller is giving some away. Go leave a comment, if you want a shot at one.

The right to hunt and fish in Tennessee:

At least five Chattanooga-area state representatives say they support an effort to amend the Tennessee Constitution to protect the rights of hunters and fishermen.

The House is scheduled to vote on House Joint Resolution 108 this week. Three readings are required. The first reading took place today.

I guess all this indoctrination goes both ways:

A Metro Nashville middle school teacher with a long history of opposing gay bias was suspended without pay for asking a black student how she would feel if he called her by a racial slur.

Well, that’s gay.

The government is working on the idea of your cell phone working for them.

American cell phones can already check e-mail, surf the Internet and store music, but they could have a new set of features in coming years: the Department of Homeland Security wants them to sense biological, chemical and radioactive material.

I say have fun, and rest your phone on this at night.

Ahab emails an anti-gun journalist. And gets a response.

In the city, my the city:

A handful of protesters were asked to leave the front entrance of the Maryville Municipal Center Monday after setting up shop to confront visiting U.S. Sen. Bob Corker about the Iraq war.

According to Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp, city code requires a permit for such a protest and the group did not have one. It’s a matter of safety for the protesters and citizens around them, Crisp said — especially with one of the city’s busiest intersections around the corner and the fear of distracted drivers.

They certainly can protest, “but we want to do it in a manner where they’re safe and other people are safe,” he said.
