"That make it all the more outrageous that he was on the receiving end of ugly insults, reminiscent of the vilest things screamed at Civil Rights marchers in the heyday of their activism, along with a pathetic attempt to dismiss and diminish his efforts by the media arm of the powerful and connected Center for American Progress Action Fund." |

"Funny, though, how 'progressive' gun-grabbers who scream loudest about “home rule” get real quiet every time a national disarmament diktat is passed, but then, if they didn’t have hypocrisy going for them, they’d lose their strongest suit. It figures this confederacy of dunces is on board with Mike Bloomberg’s Mayors Against (Your) Guns/Everytown for Fake 'Safety' scam. Still, as ridiculous as they are, it would be a mistake to dismiss them solely by pointing and laughing at them, as richly as Jackson and his court deserve it (and as much as this goofy photo of retiree Jay Westbrook invites it)." |

Follow-up to yesterday’s post, in which I did not really answer Frank Weather’s argument against priests packing heat. His case is a strong one, and I didn’t think I had a firm opinion about it. All I thought I had to bring to the table was a set of cultural biases. On further reflection, let those cultural biases form themselves into an argument.
(Whatever the Church says, that’s what I accept. But for the moment I believe this question is open to speculation, so speculate I will.)
Before I lay out the conclusion to my speculation, I’m going to do a pile of clarifying. This is all just straight catechism talk, go check the source for yourself. |

She’s No. 1 — with a bullet.
State Sen. Kathy Marchione has been named one of S.C.O.P.E.’s two legislators of the year for her opposition to the SAFE Act, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s landmark gun control law passed last year.
Marchione, a Halfmoon Republican, has been a vocal opponent of the controversial law, which — among other things — requires the owners of assault weapons to register them with the state. Another provision of the law limiting the number of bullets gun owners can load in a magazine to seven has been struck down by a federal judge. |

After several days of fallout over his comments on gun control laws to a recent gathering of county sheriffs, Gov. John Hickenlooper has managed to baffle both victims-rights advocates and Second Amendment supporters.
The governor's conflicting comments on his support for a controversial 2013 law limiting ammunition magazines has added traction to the argument from critics that he's unwilling to take definitive stances in his role as leader of the state. |

Floridians who fire a warning shot or threaten to use a gun could avoid criminal prosecution under a law signed Friday by Gov. Rick Scott.
The legislation, which marks one of the most significant changes to the state’s self-defense laws since the 2012 killing of teenager Trayvon Martin, was one of nearly 60 bills signed by Scott on Friday.
The Republican incumbent also signed measures expanding the use of private school vouchers, creating a new incentive program for sports stadiums and making it a crime in Florida to kill or injure a fetus at any stage of development. |
WI: A gun on his hip

Dan Sajdowitz carries his .40-caliber Walther on his hip because you never know what danger may lie just ahead.
His sidearm deters would-be criminals, he believes, although he says he has no proof of that. Sajdowitz, 39, has carried a gun openly and concealed for nearly four years; he has yet to pull his weapon in self-defense. He hopes he never has to, but if he does he will be ready.
Sajdowitz let me tag along with him recently as he open carried on the Milwaukee's south side. He told me before we left that I probably would get more "looks" as a "big, black guy with dreadlocks" than he would as a white guy with a gun on his hip. Sadly, he was right. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins ... Society is in every state a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. — THOMAS PAINE |
