Al-Qaeda Boosts Bloomberg's Antigun Campaign :: 06/09/2011
Things you need to know about American al-Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn, or, as I like to call him, Azzam al-Berkeley: He's a bratty California kid, offspring of hippie parents , and steeped in the deeply ignorant suburban pop anti-Americanism that fuels protests against World Trade Organization meetings and the like. He is, like practically all of his kind, not too terribly well informed.

Negligent Discharges Kill 90 U.S. Soldiers in Iraq :: 06/09/2011
The average police officer's firearm handling, safety and shooting skills are poor. Sadly, the news carries all the examples of this you'd ever want to read about. But you can almost understand it, given the infrequency with which the average cop has to use his weapon. Not that it's an excuse. If you're entrusted to protect the public and given a firearm as one of your tools for the job, you damned well ought to know how to use it as effectively and safely as possible. So when looking at the military, I would expect - as someone who's never been there - that the extensive drills and training would result in a significantly more stringent culture of firearms safety. It turns out I'd be sorely mistaken...
NSFW: Why We Need the Second Amendment: Anti-Corruption Edition :: 06/09/2011
Take a look at the image after the jump. [Warning: graphic] Notice that the man on the left's missing his right foot. Note the billboard in the background; the men were hung from a highway overpass in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Resist the urge to dismiss this carnage as collateral damage in the ongoing Mexican drug cartel turf wars. Instead, clock this from blogdelnarco.com : "At around six in the morning, motorists circulating about Gonzalitos Avenue observed a group of armed men. They hung two bodies at the same bridge where they hanged La Pelirroja . . .
Sipsey Street Exclusive: Gunwalker Scandal hearings to proceed in 3 phases."Eric Holder is toast. If he stays out of federal prison I'll be surprised" :: 06/09/2011
There's been a lot of scrambling this weekend behind the scenes at the Gunwalker Corral, especially since Congressman Issa's FOX interview. I just confirmed with a second source this morning that the hearings promised by Issa are planned to proceed in phases. This, it was explained to me, is necessitated by the continuing stonewall of the Obama administration. "They're going to go with with they've got or they'll be waiting for documents until Hell freezes over. They've figured out what the rest of us knew all along -- that the only way to break the cover-up is under oath."

Terrorists prefer Americans unarmed, just as the 'gun control' lobby does :: 06/09/2011
The forcible citizen disarmament lobby is positively giddy today, over having found a new ally--someone else who wants guns to be more difficult for Americans to obtain, and available (legally) to fewer of us. Who is this ally? A kind, peace-loving soul, who is horrified by the "gun violence" in the U.S.?
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty is Not A Gun-Grabbing Conspiracy :: 06/09/2011
It's been a while since TTAG attempted to dispel fears about the U.N. Small Arms Treaty. As we've said on numerous occasions (enter "treaty" in the home page search box), the U.N. Small Arms Treaty is about regulating inter-governmental sales of small arms; to get the rest of the world to sign up to the same controls that the United States uses currently (e.g. end user certificates). It's a shame the U.N. is about as transparent a granite wall; the lack of a draft accord has allowed the GG-RAN (Gun Grabbing Red Alert Network) to run wild with rumors of U.N. storm troopers showing up at American gun owners' doors to prize weapons from their [soon-to-be] cold, dead hands. A Forbes article entitled U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up in Arms has reignited these rumors
