Bang, bang!
At the annual Conservative Political Association Conference (CPAC) recently, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell showed his respect with something, may we say, ageappropriate. Guess. No, really. Guess. Yes, it was a gun. Guess what kind. No, really. Guess. A musket! The gift eclipsed reporting of just about everything else that came out of CPAC; the […]

The (not so awful) truth
Yeah, not true. Even Tom Coburn said that’s a lie. According to a report released by the U.S. Senator and the General Accountability Office (bet you didn’t know we had one of those), DHS ammunition purchases fell by almost 50 million rounds over the last four years — from 132.9 million in 2009 to 84.1 […]

It’s about gun rights for everyone
No word yet on whether laser-gun noises are similarly protected. Apparently, Kern wants to bring some “common sense” to the school administrations in Oklahoma. You see, little Timmy (not his real name) got in lots of trouble for eating a Pop-Tart so what was left of it resembled a gun and then waving it at […]

Shocking, right? Javontai Ingram was charged with illegal possession of a firearm after a gang-related shootout — with a Hoovers gang member called Nutso, no less — at an apartment building in Moore, at which he suffered head injuries from a gunshot wound and threw his gun into a field after the confrontation, reported NewsOK.com.

Oklahoma’s public defenders
I remember when public airwaves were made available for public good, to inform us about what was going on in the world, not to tell us what we were supposed to think about it. The celebrity culture of broadcasting has changed this, combing news and editorial comment (My Two Cents, et al.), along with the […]
