That’s basically Uncle’s reaction. I don’t have much to add myself.

There’s No Freedom Too Precious …
Brady Campaign Blasted by ATF
When the BATF comes out and criticizes your report, and you’re a gun control advocacy group, it’s a pretty good indication you’re on the wrong side of the issue.
Possible Heller Ruling
The Supreme Court has announced something big for 10AM today. Monitor SCOTUS blog, who will be covering it live.
UPDATE: It’s unusual for The Court to announce on Thursday, so that’s what driving the spectulation this might be it.
UPDATE: So far no Heller. They’ve released a Habeus ruling on Guantanamo. Maybe that was the big deal that caused them to release this special.  Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Looks like the Guantanamo case is the big news for the day. The smart money was on the 23rd for the release. We will have to wait.
A Private Sale Primer
This is a pretty amusing rules of the road for responding to an ad for buying a firearm off someone where the transfer is arranged online1.
1) For any PSHers who run across this, this is not illegal, or a loophole, and all federal and state laws apply to the transaction. It’s illegal to ship a firearm via common carrier to anyone other than a federal firearms licensee, with limited exception. Handguns may not be transferred between residents of different states without going through a licensee, and all handgun transfers in Pennsylvania must go through a licensee or Sheriff.
Dickson City Incident Update
Four of the people involved in the incident in Dickson City have filed a lawsuit under 42 USC Section 1983 in US District Court. You can see the document filed here. Police departments in the Commonwealth need to start training their officers that open carry is a lawful practice except in a city of the first class (where you need a LTCF), and that a gun not having a record of sale is no evidence to seize it. Dickson City is about to be made an example of why this needs to happen forthwith.
Male Bashing Ads
Dr. Helen links to a list of the top ten male bashing ads.
Quote of the Day
As if you needed further proof that voting for Obama is a lot like opening a MySpace account. If you’re over the age of 25 and doing either of those things, there’s something wrong with you.
I’ll admit, I have an account, but I don’t use it.
Obama’s Record on Guns
This has already made the rounds, but I wanted to link to Obama’s record on guns that the NRA has put together because each link gives it a bit more Google Lovin’, so when people search on terms involving Barack Moons over Mihami Obama, it comes up with the truth. I’ll also add this to my highly searched page showing here.
International Gun Control Effort at UN
No good can possibly come of this. Someone remind me again why we are spending good tax dollars to have these unaccountable international bureaucrats occupy some of the most valuable real-estate in the country?
