Senate Gives FBI More Patriot Act Power

Great--just what we need.

"Ranking Democrat Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., supported the bill overall but said he would push for limits that would allow such administrative subpoenas 'only if immediacy dictates.'"

I wonder how large of an armored vehicle the feds could drive through that hole he just made?

"Rockefeller and other committee members, such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., also are concerned that the bill would grant powers to federal law enforcement agencies that could be used in criminal inquiries rather than intelligence-gathering ones."

Hey, they're not investigating gun owners for edict infractions, they're investigating "militia extremist domestic terrorists".

See? Fix a few words and we don't have a problem here...

Fish Or Man: "I am Finished"

"I was sentenced June 2nd. It amounts to $500 fine, $250 deferred. 90 days in jail, 90 days suspended. Deferred jail time and money is on condition that for 12 months I have no future criminal offense. This entire sentence will not take effect unless I lose my appeal, (sentence stayed upon appeal)...I did have a letter from the SAF when I got home last night, of course, it was only for another fund raiser. Meanwhile, somewhere in America another unconstitutional 'gun law' was applied to an otherwise law abiding gun owner. A gun owner who will bow his head, cry for America, and then take the plea deal. I am finished."

You Don't Need a Gun Because the Police Will Protect You

Ri-ight.

And why can't I get this song out of my head?

Son of Real ID

I guess if you'd let an employer tag you like a cow, there's not much chance you'll ever stand up on your hind legs and demand any rights.

It's almost like the rulers have a drinking bet going on as to how outrageous they can make things and still achieve compliance.

NRA “Researching the Possibility”

Is that anything like investigating looking into?

NRA still hasn’t taken a public position on the Second Amendment Protection Act.

They still won’t even inform their members that it exists.

Typical.
