Notes from the Resistance...
While Shoppers who were surveyed in focus groups indicated they would rather not have to go through metal detectors, they appeared willing to accept them if the government raised the terror alert level, he said.
No one begrudges a cop his or her doughnuts, but questions are being asked in Albuquerque about one recent case in which a pair of the city's finest dropped in for a box of Krispy Kremes in a police helicopter.As Jay.Mac observed when he sent me this link, you can't make this stuff up. What could they have possibly been thinking, and if they weren't, what does that tell us about an ingrained sense of entitlement?
A 29-year-old Rochester Hills man learned the hard way that some homes are protected by scatterguns made by Browning, Remington or Winchester.Well, technically not Detroit, but close enough...point being, the homeowners didn't need to be shielded behind a 7-year-old...
The IDF is conducting a large scale operation to confiscate weapons from the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, according to Channel 10 TV. The purpose of the operation is described as "putting the settlers' gun permits in order."It's not like history has anything to teach us on this subject, is it?
... "I have no idea who is giving the order, it seems to be coming from up high, but they've decided to take the weapons away from everyone."
With little law-enforcement protection and a crime wave that has left two residents dead and hit just about every business in Aguila, many residents have armed themselves, installed security systems and taken to patrolling residential areas.Wait 'til the accusations of vigilantism start to fly.
The rush to clear police in shootings...Nearly every shooting in last decade 'justified'Knowing what they know, it kind'a makes you wonder why the "Authorized Journalists" at The Trib are so adamant about advocating an "Only Ones" monopoly of force. I guess because for government worshippers bent on imposing their superstitious dogma on the rest of us, the only reason statism doesn't work is because we need even more statism.
A 7-year-old-girl is being hailed as an "angel from heaven" and a hero for jumping in front of an enraged gunman, who pumped six bullets into the child as she used her body as a shield to save her mother's life.
I think it's a damn shame the mother wasn't prepared to defend her child, which is the way it's supposed to be, instead of bringing in scummy reptile boyfriends to endanger her children.

Today I received great news, CCRKBA is asking the Senate to withhold Sullivan's confirmation:We are making progress. Please help keep the momentum going. If you haven't already done so, write your senators and ask them to oppose Sullivan's confirmation. If you're an NRA member, contact them and ask them why all the other national RKBA groups don't have a problem joining in this. And write your state Attorney General and ask him to add his voice to the briefs being filed on behalf of Heller.
