Notes from the Resistance...
The shameful truth is, most of our countrymen—and a good number of gun owners—are ignorant of basic rights that—in another era—would have provoked rebellion should any have been haughty enough to “approach that jewel.”"Doh!" is my Rights Watch column in the July issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at informed newsstands throughout the Republic.
Federal, state and city officials have credited the Project Exile program, which has proved to be a success in Virginia...Yes, Virgina has proven to be quite a success story.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker last week refused to overturn a federal government-imposed closing date for Trader Sports Inc., which was found to have repeatedly violated federal gun-sales laws. He gave CEO Anthony Cucchiara until Friday to either surrender his sales license or seek a stay with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal.The Ninth Circuit? Oh, the ones who say there is no individual right to keep and bear arms. Gee, thanks, Judge.
The British Columbia government has launched a month-long campaign to get gun owners to turn in any unwanted weapons without fear of prosecution..."Unpleasant things"?
Solicitor General John Les cautions gun owners not to take their weapons to their local police station.
"No, absolutely not. If you show up at the police station with a gun, probably some unpleasant things will happen."
He said people who want to turn in guns should call police, who will come and pick them up.
On this day in 1779, the court-martial of Benedict Arnold convenes in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After a relatively clean record in the early days of the American Revolution, Arnold was charged with malfeasance, misusing government wagons, the illegal buying and selling of goods and favoritism toward British Loyalists. Although his notorious betrayal was still many months away, Arnold's resentment over this order and perceived mistreatment by the American Army would fuel his traitorous decision to assist the British.
A Martin County deputy who was fired after using his squad car camera to tape women now wants his job back.Go get 'em, Jack. If these guys deserve a place at the public trough, there's no reason why you're not good enough to elbow your way in and join 'em.
The sheriff's office fired deputy Jack Munsey in January after an investigation found that Munsey broke the rules by using the camera for unofficial purposes, spending on-duty time on off-duty activities and for improper conduct.
An investigation revealed that Munsey used his dashboard-mounted video camera to zoom in on and record bikini-clad girls, including one showering at a public beach.
