We're the Only Ones Overpowered Enough

Authorities were still searching for a man arrested on kidnapping charges who overpowered a female sheriff's deputy at a hospital yesterday and stole her gun.
How could this have happened?

I mean, the guy didn't even have Monica Yant Kinney's husband's permission...

Maybe he'll kill someone with the stolen gun and we can then:
A. Demand more citizen disarmament laws, and
B. Sue the dealer, distributor and manufacturer.

Monica Makes a Difference

In New Jersey, I faced a rigorous, intensely personal process with my local police department. I got to know my detective inquisitor by name, and he learned everything from my actual weight to the location of my tattoo.

He quizzed two friends about my state of mind and drinking habits. Even my husband got a say in my quest to arm myself.

Had I ever sought mental-health treatment - for anything from postpartum depression to anxiety - the detective had the right to ask my doctors whether they thought I was emotionally stable enough to own a gun.

I know it's wrong to make such superficial judgments, but is anyone really surprised that someone named "Monica Yant Kinney" is anti-choice when it comes to guns? What a perfect example of contradiction in what's passed off to the masses as "feminist thought." Following such "logic" to a generalized conclusion, the fragile dears are apparently incapable of making an important decision for themselves without permission from males and other authority figures.

So a woman needs her husband's permission to arm herself? What if he's the one she's arming herself against? Or let someone suggest that permission should be required from her husband to get an abortion and listen to the howls of outrage.

Be back in a minute...

Sorry--had to go purge the thought of the location of Ms. Yant Kinney's tatoo. Now where was I?

Oh, yeah, tell ya what Monica--you figure out a way to get the predatory reptiles to get your husband and your doctor's and the police's permission to get their guns, and then we'll talk.

We're the Only Ones "Sorry, Wrong Number" Enough

[D]eputies dumped out drawers, went through his wallet and checkbook, seized computers, CDs, floppy disks, VHS tapes and other material and refused to clean up the mess in the raid Sept. 27.

Half a dozen sheriff's vehicles converged on the house, and after taking photographs outside Hines told officers within hearing of the neighbors, "Now let's go inside and get some porn," the owner said...

Among the confiscated items were copies of "The Lion King" and "Snow White," found in a bedroom where the couple's granddaughter stays when she comes to visit, the man said.
Old boy's lucky he didn't "go for his waistband."

Is It Time to Arm Our Rural Schools?

One suggestion would be to follow the lead set by North Carolina, which since 1993 has had the state-based Center for Prevention of School Violence working to place armed School Resource Officers (SROs) inside its schools.
No, it's time for free sovereign individuals to keep and bear arms in all public places, including all schools, not just rural ones. Remember, Columbine had a trained "Resource Officer," and while he protected himself marvelously, when Harris retreated for easier prey, the officer did not pursue.

This Day in History: October 5

On this day in 1775, General George Washington writes to the president of the Continental Congress, John Jay, to inform him that a letter from Dr. Benjamin Church, surgeon general of the Continental Army, to Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Gage, British commander in chief for North America, had been intercepted. Washington wrote, "I have now a painful tho' a Necessary Duty to perform respecting Doctor Church, Director General of the Hospital."
