WSJ Op-Ed: Gun-Banning Efforts in the UK, Australia 'Haven't Made Peop
It doesn't take much of an effort to find plenty of establishment press reports (just four such examples are here, here, here, and here) about the reaction to the Newtown, Connecticut coming out of Dunblane, Scotland, the site of a 1996 school massacre where sixteen children and one adult were murdered before the gunman committed suicide.

Making Lists -- and Publishing Them: Earth First ('Prank' Hit List), G
What similarities are there between a domestic terrorist organization and the alleged journalists at the Journal News headquartered in White Plains, New York? At least two biggies: total lack of respect for privacy and complete disregard for others' safety. The domestic terror group Earth First has an "EAT(IT) "Eco Assassin Team (in Training)," which has tired of "the stale old debate about…
Gregory on MTP: Likely Broke DC Law, Hypocritically Mocked NRA's Armed
Two blog posts today should shred the credibility of Meet the Press's David Gregory in making arguments for gun control and against appropriate armed staff or security personnel at schools -- or they would, if journalists had the least bit of interest in exposing lawbreaking and hyprocritical behavior by their professional colleagues.
During the show, as reported at the Patriot Perspective,…

The Pious Fraud That is Rev. C. Welton Gaddy

Profiles of Pro-Gun, Anti-Gun Advocates in NYTimes: Same Page, Very Di
Friday's New York Times teased on the front page two profiles of prominent figures in the gun control debate (conservative David Keene and liberal New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg). Can you guess which one got more respectful treatment?

MSNBC Host Suggests NRA Would 'Want' Mass Killing of Children
MSNBC’s Toure has reached a new low in his anti-gun crusade. Speaking on Thursday’s The Cycle, the co-host disgustingly said that the National Rifle Association would "want" shootings like the Newtown, Connecticut massacre of schoolchildren to happen for their benefit.
Toure’s perverse logic is that increased gun sales and NRA membership following the Newtown school shooting aids the gun…
