Personal Foul

ICYMI, the NFL turned down a pro-gun ad this year. At least it's not on NBC, so we don't have to hear Costas' opposing-view at halftime with nary a word from the league.

Also, I was treated to a regional ad from Bloomberg & Menino's Mayors Against Illegal Guns group in the last Pats/Giants Super Bowl, but that apparently doesn't run afoul of the NFL's policy. Call it the gun control show loophole.

Thugs

Charles C. W. Cooke had a must-read this week on the thuggish tactics of the anti-gunners in Colorado. So go read it.

“As we speak, we have multiple cars monitoring us at our offices and filming us from the parking lot,” Mike McAlpine, who headed up the recall effort, told me yesterday. “This is not a one-off event. We hold sign-and-drive events on the sidewalks near to busy intersections, and we hold signs inviting people to pull over and sign the petition. Our opponents have taken to blocking us: as cars pull in, they run up to the driver’s side door and physically stand next to the door so that the person inside cannot open the door and come outside.”
