Wayne Fincher Update: A Plea for Help

Wayne Fincher's daughter tells me he needs legal help. The court-appointed defense attorney advises him he is looking at prison time. No doubt--the federal government has done its utmost to assure exactly that outcome.

Frankly, I'm at a bit of a loss--unless a legal foundation steps forward to give him pro bono representation, lawyers are generally in it for the money. I've sent a donation to his defense fund, but not unsurprisingly, most gun owners have not and will not, as we seem determined to hang separately.

Can I at least get the regulars here to spread the word and try to locate the legal counsel needed? At a minimum, will you forward this link to other gun owners, post it to forums?

And finally, helpful suggestions will be appreciated in the "Comments" section to this post.

VA Bill Makes Illegal Gun Sales...uhh...Illegal

The bill, sponsored by Del. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Prince William County, prohibits anyone but law enforcement officers from trying to make an illegal gun purchase from a firearms dealer.

So it's OK if "The Only Ones" do it?

I need someone who's more of a policy wonk than me to explain this, but there is an exception for "A private security company licensed to do business within the Commonwealth," so Bloomberg's Mintz Group co-conspirators may just need to get a business license to operate in The Old Dominion--assuming they don't have one already.

I would have thought that, state law notwithstanding, these stings--if they actually involved "illegal purchases"--would violate GCA '68 and various aspects US Code, both for the individual who lied on the Form 4473, and for the recipient/"prohibited person". Why Bloomberg & Co. aren't currently under indictment is beyond me--or would be if I didn't know how "The Only Ones" operate.

We're the Only Ones Political Enough

The Commission on Elections granted gun ban exemptions to at least 8,000 politicians, GMANews.TV learned on Saturday from Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer.

We're "The Only Ones" and you're not! And there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it!

Arms are for Shackles

This is no backwoods survivalist talking, just an African American who grew up in the South at a time when the people in uniform were often the bad guys, and when having a pistol or a shotgun to brandish saved a lot of black people's lives. That time is gone, though, and quelling the horrific black-on-black violence of today is so urgent that I can look past the history lesson.

Then you're a fool.

What you're saying is you learned nothing from the last time a people were oppressed, so you're inviting a recurrence. That and that you buy into the "living document" lie.

Curses! Foiled Again!

In a sleazy political stroke, Republicans played the gun lobby's card...

Only a cowardly, anonymous traitor, that is, a Herald Tribune editor, would call an article enshrined in the bill of Rights a "poison pill" and "an insult." Only a tyrant enabler would characterize "attempts to outlaw firearms" as "legitimate," and attempts to prevent it "sleazy."

There can be no peace with these wormtongues. They won't allow it.

The Sound and the Fury

Per Larry Rankin:

This newspaper reporter was against citizens' having guns rights. I know because I asked him if he was against guns and he quickly said, YES, and than caught himself.

This is a good article to use against the NRA A rating program. I have had several people call Ed Worley, NRA/ILA rep in Sacramento, more than one time and as many as three. To this day he has not returned one call!

This article says a lot. The best part is when he [Bill Brown] says in a roundabout way that the other sheriffs gave out too many. So he is saying that Sheriff Jim Anderson was a lot more pro-gun than he.

I am happy with this article because it shows the new direction that Bill Brown has taken us! Thank you NRA for helping get such an anti-gun sheriff elected!

(As an aside, I'd like to know what idiot at The Santa Barbara Daily Sound thought "the Web Paper experience" was a good way to do anything except keep people from reading the damned paper on the Web.--DC)
