We’re the Only Ones Special Enough

You know, the “officials” tasked with putting YOU away for claiming your right to keep and bear arms.

Naturally, none of the objections to “ordinary citizens” being armed will be raised. And every day we see how special the elites are.

Like the sidebar says:

About “The Only Ones”
So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.

We’re the Only Ones Muzzling Enough

Henderson County DA STRIPS Trinidad, TX Police Department of Prosecution Power After Cops Arrested Two Citizen Journalists for Exercising Their First Amendment Rights [More]

Ah well, the taxpayers would have probably blown the money they’re going to have to shell out on the lawsuit on stuff like clean water anyway…

We’re the Only Ones Trigger-Happy Enough

Dashcam video from a police vehicle records 12 shots fired; one round from the less lethal shotgun and 11 rounds from the officer’s handgun. The vehicle then stopped. Chief Cox said no shots were fired from the vehicle and no officers were injured… The officers could face verbal discipline up to termination.[More]

What could you or I face? Then again, we’re not highly trained professionals…

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Federal Enough

FBI warns of New England scammers impersonating FBI agents – The scammers are telling victims their information was used to create an account to purchase illegal firearms, the FBI said. [More]

And then what? The article is a little light on what they’re telling people to get them to fork over money.

That on what the difference is between a private scammer and an official asset forfeiture claimant, aside from the latter being a lot more lucrative and dangerous…

Piecemeal Prohibitionists

Me-can I buy individual parts? State-yeah, for repairs. Do I have to prove I have the gun first? No…. So I can just buy all of the parts in a build kit individually in the same cart and purchase just not as a single item….. [More]

Careful:

While HB 1240 obviously targets complete firearms, its language is written broadly enough to ensnare PARTS [Emphasis Added] and kits that could be used to assemble a banned weapon. This is a huge minefield for online sellers.

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but if I were going to try a workaround, I’d find a way that didn’t leave a trail of invoice breadcrumbs.

And naturally, what would any militia disarmament edict be without a standing army exemption?

The law does have carve-outs for sales to law enforcement agencies and active-duty military personnel who are purchasing for official use. 

Just like the Framers intended, no?

We’re the Only Ones Annulled Enough

Police search for ‘armed and dangerous’ woman suspected of killing off-duty Worcester police officer [More]

What they don’t tell you is she was his wife. They also don’t tell you if the gun was his/department issued.

So much for Karen “reduc[ing] mental health stigma“and promoting “secure firearm storage“…

We’re the Only Ones Incarcerated Enough

Serve the system and this is how it treats you.

How many others have never emerged to the other side?

So, he got the charges dismissed and his record expunged (40 minute mark). Who thinks rights restoration for non-Only Ones is a New Jersey priority?

We’re the Only Ones Ratified Enough

Now, the left is coming for your county sheriff—the last local law man or woman elected to office by the people. [More]

Funny, how the very ones who scream “DEMOCRACY!” the loudest demand the final say.

Budding Richard Macks need not apply.

We’re the Only Ones Unsecuring Enough

The New York Police Department (NYPD) will not provide a security detail to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife during her upcoming vacation to two terror hotspots in the Middle East, despite the mayor’s office claiming otherwise. [More]

So it’s not that he’s actually against armed defense where his precious hindquarters are at risk.

Reminds me of another Big Apple mayor traveling overseas.

Elitist swine…

I guess it’s too much to hope that Religion of Peace devotees flog her for not wearing a hijab… or will she?

Mystery to Me

Mystery

In-N-Out Burger Shooter: Why Has No Motive Been Reported? [More]

And why are no prominent “pro-gun” politicians loudly and repeatedly demanding it of them?

Police are limiting what other information they share at this time, citing concerns it could harm the ongoing investigation. [More]

What’s left to investigate and how long are they going to get away with that excuse?

That’s the problem with authorities controlling all the information.
