They jumped on Dick Metcalf’s “editorial” and they are enjoying it to the hilt.

After the catastrophic and rather stupid editorial written by Dick Metcalf, Guns and Ammo Magazine has told him to pack his bags and go.

Some will say: “Well shit! That is rather harsh. What about his right to free speech?”  Sparky, we are right now in the equivalent of a Cold War between a powerful enemy and our side: and constitutional platitudes are all nice, warm and fuzzy and to be used in-house only. To use one of the oldest and most visible gun magazines to sport and antique and expired train of thought that might be used by the enemy is just sheer stupidity… no, I don’t think Metcalf was a spy or a sell out, just stupid.

As with everything in our culture, we don’t dictate but teach and convince. We all want supremely trained shooters, we do not mandate it. We don’t take kindly to mandates as the opposition has learned with painful detail. But we are very receptive to suggestions and best practices and those have to include our freedom to keep and bear arms. There are many best practices out there and we love to choose the ones we like. Try to impose one? You are out of luck because we are ornery that way and you really do not know better.

But apparently it is the way they are selling them.

A sad commentary on things to come?

The recent decision in Mackey v. State is being hailed by police and state attorneys, especially those who are anti-gun.

Don’t believe it? Take this gem from the Office of the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit (Dave Aronberg, NRA F-rated candidate 2008):

“The Court found that the permit is an affirmative defense to be raised by the defendant after his arrest; it is not element of the crime to be disproved by the officer prior to effecting the CCF arrest.” See pages 4 and 5 HERE

That’s right, having a concealed weapon firearm license (CWFL) does not keep you from being arrested, you can explain that to the judge at first appearance, after you spend a night in jail and get a felony arrest record. Mr Aronberg’s office has taken an inch from the Supreme Court and become a ruler. Do not think that other anti-gun state attorneys, sheriffs and police chiefs won’t do the same. This is the same type of discriminatory, unjustified harassment that was recently struck down in a challenge to Mayor Bloomberg’s illegal stop-and-frisk law, in New York City.

Yes, we must trust the good intentions of District Attorneys when it comes to our rights. Their intentions are noble and pure.

Quoting a song:
Don’t trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
Cause the judge in the towns got bloodstains on his hand
