When Democrats Ruled the Earth
The fight against California’s 11% firearm tax (AB 28) is facing roadblocks in the James v. Mederos lawsuit. The state is delaying the case with legal technicalities, forcing gun dealers to continue paying this unconstitutional tax. [Watch]
Well, yeah. They’re Democrats.
Question: Why is no one bellyaching about Pittman-Robertson, especially with all those anti-freedom Fudds throwing the rest of us under the bus?

We’re the Only Ones Self-Rewarding Enough
Daniel Paulino has appeared on FOX 2 over the years, especially when he was police chief and city administrator for Velda City—the town in which he’s now accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars. [More]
He’s not the first. Why doesn’t the town just post a “ROB US” sign?

“The gun went off—he fell. My phone did too, so I picked it up, thought about what had just happened and panicked and left,” Collins said. [More]
See, if he’d had professional training, he’d have just kept going like he had everything under control.

Where Angels Fear to Tread
A shocking example of Western countries’ suicidal policies, and a warning regarding our own “sanctuary cities,” is provided by the Swedish “no-go” zones—parallel societies in suburban areas where crime runs rampant, and the police are afraid to intervene. [More]

Credit Where Due
An anecdote: When I was running legal for Bloomberg News, one of our reporters in D.C. discovered that the ATF screwed up on a gun-running sting that resulted in providing a weapon used to murder a U.S. border security officer. He had it before anyone else. [More]
Yeah? Who was the reporter?

We’re the Only Ones Compensated Enough
Mayor John Whitmire has finalized a contract agreement with the Houston Police Officers’ Union to raise the salary of first-year police officers to $81,000. The agreement, which also includes expanded benefits, will make Houston’s 5,200 police officers the highest-paid in Texas. Previously, officers’ first-year salary was set around $60,000. [More]
That’s a heck of a raise. When’s the last time a private company offered you that kind of increase?
And since this is WarOnGuns, we might ask how Whitmire is on our issue.
He’s fine for expanding them for “Only Ones” to allow armed children on the force. That’s what the citizen disarmament lobby calls them, especially when they want to exclude 18 to 20-year-olds from the Second Amendment, right?
