I've decided to link to the cartoon "Day by Day" because it's the funniest cartoon that you won't find in the DinoMedia.

John Lott writes about Mark Allen Wilson

John Lott, in his article on FOXNews.com, points out that this story was unusual in that defensive gun use got national media coverage. He also points out other ways that anti-gun types blurred their depictions of the recent Tyler, Texas murders.

Althought I suspected that a semiautomatic rifle was used in this incident, I didn't elaborate on whether the rifle used was semi-automatic, selective fire (that's what real assault rifles are) or full automatic in my post because there wasn't enough detailed information in online news articles at the time.

And I figured that the LAST thing the Tyler police department or mayor's office needed was ANOTHER phone call from some pajamadeen.

I get a chuckle out of the fact that Mr. Lott and I both used the term "bullet-resistant vest" for the sake of precision.

And, for the sake of accuracy, I will admit that you heard about the incident from some of the anti-gun folk I mentioned.

And again, for the sake of accuracy, they weren't quite honest with you.

If you haven't figured out that these people lie to you on a regular basis, then you haven't been paying attention.
