by Emily Miller of the Washington Times has the tweet of the day. Bearing in mind the cost and trouble she went through to finally be able to own a handgun in DC and keep it in her home, this tweet just about says it all.
Interesting Question
Alwin Roe who Tweets at @TheButterZone had this interesting question and observation a few minutes ago:
If most gas stations have defenseless cashiers, why not have an ATM for armed robbers to fire a shot into it? It’ll save lives, evidence 😉
He has a point.
Do You Twitter?
Do you use Twitter to follow the news and blogs? If so, you may want to consider adding me to your Twitter follow list.
I leave Friday for the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Chicago. I intend to both blog and Tweet extensively from the conference. Given the lineup of speakers, signing up for Twitter would be a great way to follow the action if you can’t be in Chicago.
If you look in my sidebar, you will see a section near the top that says “Subscribe to this blog”. Among the methods for subscribing is Twitter. You click on the button that looks like the one below and it will take you to my Twitter page. My Twitter ID is @jpr9954.
Thanks and I hope to have lots to report from Chicago in the never-ending fight for gun rights.
Twitter Has Its Uses
With the White House all atwitter over Twitter yesterday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa took advantage of it. According to The Hill, Issa used Twitter to deliver a letter to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
The tweet was a response to a question about the letter asked in the White House press briefing on Tuesday.
Carney told reporters at Tuesday’s briefing that he had not seen the letter. “I’m not aware of it,” he said.
The letter addressed to Attorney General Eric Holder is signed by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the committee, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). It details their concerns following the testimony of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) acting director Kenneth Melson regarding the ATF operation “Fast and Furious.”
A picture of the tweet in question is below.
It is nice for once to see a Congressman using Twitter for something other than Tweeting pictures of his privates!
