Any gun owners still out there putting it all on the line for that idiot Ammon Bundy?

UPDATE--Tangentially related:

A tiny cabal of government contractors, mostly religious groups cloaking their profit-seeking in compassion and Scripture, perpetuates the refugee resettlement racket. Openly hostile to American sovereignty, these people spread their tax-subsidized syndicate's wealth to a vast network of subcontractors, often tied to billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundations, which promote global governance and unfettered migration espoused by the United Nations, European Union and Vatican.

New Rules

Dave Licht sent me an email and agreed I could share it.

Hi David -

I hope you are well.

Are you aware of a new rule that requires ALL guns being shipped into california to be individually pre authorized by the state? Apparently dealers (starting May?) have to call the doj and get a number before each gun is shipped into the state.

Can you say "no more gunbroker.com transactions in california"? Can you say "no more buying guns out of state and avoiding the california sales taxes"? Can you see the end of private transactions in california?

I just sold a pistol (via private party transfer) in kalifornia and dealing with the ffl / gun store was a complete insult. The dealer (that was required to officiate the sale) took an hour to complete the transaction (despite my arriving with the completed paperwork) and the idiot told me if I did not like it not to come back! (Buy my stuff but don't bother me to make just $25 doing your transaction)

When I go to gun stores I see mostly (seemingly unemployed) lookers taking up the counter space and bar stools for hours at a time and buying nothing. I find it hard to believe gun stores can afford to insult anybody let alone people that may buy something......anything.

This is the gun business in kalifornia - take it or leave it, pay more for it, grovel to do it and be thankful for getting it. The state may be F**K'D up and need changing but when the gun dealers become willing, obedient unapologetic stooges for the state they don't deserve the business. This state lap dog mentality may be acceptable to people who buy one gun every 5 years or so but not to people buying 6 a month. The gun business should leave california and private gun buyers and sellers should say enough is way to much and defy the laws en mass.

I am just ranting but a gun collector can not compete living in kalifornia with collectors living in other states and gun dealers are becoming unworthy of the business.

Thanks

Dave Licht

And So It Begins

The criminal Holder intends going to war with patriots under the "Homegrown Terrorists" flag. [More]

Oh, sure, he'll probably pick some low-hanging fruit first, just to "legitimize" the effort.

Note to make the case, he and his Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist fellow travelers at The Times show us a photo of a Chechen who was 16 before this country took him in as a refugee.

Here's the chilling part:

Though the original task force, which was little known, focused mainly on right-wing zealots, Holder’s version is aimed at U.S. citizens or visitors radicalized via the Internet. 

Define "zealots." I could throw that one back at the damned Prozi scum making that charge.

I've made no secret of proclaiming that radicalizing gun owners is precisely my mission. I've worked toward that goal from the start.

UPDATE:

I probably should have made it an #IDefyYou hashtag.

UPDATE 2: The Coalition of the Radicalized expands!

UPDATE: Epstein as a honey trap blackmailer not only seems plausible but loads of fun for when it blows up and we learn names! And here I've been blaming everything on Dolly.

Because They Think It's in Your Nature

I was advised via email that Cabelas now has trigger locks on all guns and the excuse being given is that Bass Pro Shops had a guy come in and commit suicide.

Ain't it just typical for "gun control" to put restrictions on everybody over the actions of one guy? How does their slogan go?

"It's in your nature."

Looking around I find corroboration at Reddit and other forums like The Firing Line and Sig Talk, so it looks like this is old news to those of you who frequent the big box stores and the message boards, which leaves me out.

Hey, if ATF can be prevented from examining the inner workings, why not us, right?

We're the Only Ones Tweeting Enough

"Get those hacking (expletive). I'm a cop in the bay area CA. (sic) I would go at them with both guns!" Richmond police Sgt. Mike Rood wrote via Twitter to UFC President Dana White. [More]

His apologists in comments are quick to come to his defense.  He didn't really mean what he said literally. It was just a dumb Tweet.  His detractors are making a mountain out of a molehill and this is no big deal. 

Internet comments don't matter.

Do they, Detective Rod Tuason?

Please contact senator McCains office.....602-952-2410 and insist that he do the right thing for the country and RETIRE.

You can also use a hashtag.

Let's Review the Bidding

A hive insect queen intends to order owners of "in common use at the time" militia-suitable magazines to "Turn 'em all in, Mr. and Mrs. California." (Interesting, this Opposite Day egalitarian-against-power-sharing has got an exemption for "sworn" officers. I guess we're not supposed to pay attention to what they're swearing to.) [More]

Petition to the rescue!  Oh, and send money. Thing is, it will go to the same people who have made California tops in Brady ratings. The majority is supposed to be scared when they know their seats are only becoming more secure?

And the other thing is, the head of the group behind the petition is out there using his influence to stump for Grover Norquist, whose amnesty/pathway to citizenship actions will politically turn the rest of the country into one big "Golden State."

No?

If you think not, maybe you're the one who can produce that "credible data" none of the other apologists have been able to come up with so far.
