Do Your Job and Protect Me

An armed robbery in broad daylight with a store full of customers. It sounds like a scene from a movie but it happened in one local community.

And now residents are wondering if there are enough law enforcement officers in their rural community to keep them safe...

"They're going to have to get busy and do something about it," Justice said.
And who, Ms. Justice, will protect you from your protectors?

UN: We Don't Want to Ban Guns. Honest

"I would want to repeat, because there are people around who either have not heard this, or do not want to hear," United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Monday. "We are not negotiating a global ban, nor do we wish to deny law-abiding citizens their right to bear arms in accordance with their national laws."
So if the laws say "no guns," then no guns it is.

Here's the thing, though: Most of our "pro gun" leaders are making great media hay out of the UN conference and riling up gun owners. There is a lot of opportunistic hype going on from "our" side, designed to put the troops in a donating frame of mind.

The fact is, the UN is powerless to take our guns away, and will remain that way unless our elected and appointed representatives betray us. If you want to ensure the UN remains powerless, don't lose focus of domestic representatives.

We won't get the US out of the UN until politicians start losing their cushy gigs over it.

The Outrage Is He's Right

A DARWIN magistrate has caused outrage by suggesting Wadeye residents should be "arm(ed) with machine guns" and allowed to "finish what they started 2000 years ago".
Stated another way:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Treason on the Agenda

Guns will be on the minds, and on the agenda, at tonight's Jersey City City Council meeting, scheduled to start at 6 in City Hall, 280 Grove St.

An ordinance to limit handgun buyers' purchases to one per 30-day period and a second measure banning the sale of so-called "Saturday Night specials" are to be considered on second reading.
God forbid the council should concern themselves with fixing potholes and the like...

Meanwhile, these mini-tyrants have the gall to sponsor a "4th of July Freedomfest," and, of course, their constituents will love 'em for it.

This Day in History: June 28
