Just one question, Moms: Why is this woman armed? Maybe we should ask.

So did 100% of these guys:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Before doing that, though, we’ve got to be satisfied that we’ve used every means at our disposal to follow the remarkable system bequeathed us by the Founders.

A Perfect Understanding

The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has upheld a ban on possessing guns in parks, while completely misunderstanding basic principles of law. [Watch]

So their decision “contradicts SCOTUS”? And we’re sure it’s because they “misunderstand”?

Report brought to you by the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” people

We don’t need any bills to ensure continued recognition of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights because the presumption is there is nothing government is authorized to do in terms of prior restraint infringements.

Not with a Bang But a Whimper

Looks like an excellent way to get killed when the predator realizes you’re all bluff… I guess by disguising what they’re calling it they can get around laws against imitation guns.

We’re the Only Ones Lying and Stupid Enough

Are we willing to trade all of our freedoms in the name of safety? Especially when we have incompetent police officers such as they have at the Columbine Valley Police Department in this sergeant, who either lied to this woman or is a complete idiot, or both. [Watch]
