Connecticut’s now-infamous “meth priest” entered a not guilty plea yesterday before a federal court. “My gosh, Father, for your first involvement in the criminal justice system, you picked a real doozy,” Judge Smith told Wallin, who was not wearing his priestly garb, but sported an orange jump suit at least two sizes too big. “The drug involved is very deadly. …

Yesterday we learned that Father Kevin Wallin, formerly with the Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, was arrested by federal drug agents in Connecticut for his alleged role in a national crystal meth ring. Today we learn much, much more about the story. The Catholic priest busted for allegedly dealing crystal meth was suspended after church officials discovered he was a cross-dresser …

From the National Review: The irreducible challenge the Second Amendment poses to gun restrictionists is that it does not bestow upon the people a right they previously lacked. It proscribes the government from infringing upon a right the people already have. It is not that the people are allowed to arm. It is that the government is disallowed to disarm …

Radio host David Pakman sends us this: “I just finished convincing Westboro Church to consider NOT picketing the funerals of the victims in Newtown in exchange for some air time. As much as I hate to offer them airtime, if I can keep them away from those funerals, I think it is worth it. Here is the video, we are …

The National Rifle Association has yet to comment on the Sandy Hook tragedy. In fact, the day after the shooting they took down their main Facebook page. On Saturday, one day after the unthinkable shootings at a Newtown, Conn. elementary school, the NRA took a more drastic measure by deactivating its Facebook page after celebrating getting to 1.7 million fans …

The rifle used to kill all those kids can easily be purchased online. And shipping is free.

The program will commence shortly. UPDATE: I’ve replaced the official White House live-stream with a recording of the president’s remarks.

Organized by City Council candidate Corey Johnson.  Via press release: Please join members of the Downtown Community in a Candle Light Prayer Vigil for our fallen neighbors in Connecticut’s Sandy Hook School. The service will have the participation of clergy from various Churches, Synagogues, and Mosques located downtown. We anticipate that the service will last 30 – 40 minutes. Many …

“Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones. The only thing accomplished by gun free zones …

The text reads: The goal of this petition is to force the Obama Administration to produce legislation that limits access to guns. While a national dialogue is critical, laws are the only means in which we can reduce the number of people murdered in gun related deaths. Powerful lobbying groups allow the ownership of guns to reach beyond the Constitution’s …

“With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it’s still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We heard it after Virginia Tech. After …

The above tweet is from yesterday. Unshockingly, the NRA has been completely silent on its social media accounts today.

Note the White House’s flag.

“If roads were collapsing all across the United States, killing dozens of drivers, we would surely see that as a moment to talk about what we could do to keep roads from collapsing. If terrorists were detonating bombs in port after port, you can be sure Congress would be working to upgrade the nation’s security measures. If a plague was …
