Notes from the Resistance...
Feds and Firearms Industry team up to stop so-called “straw purchases.” [More]Sorry, Lawrence Keane. When you abet infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, you lose me.
An off-duty police officer shot and wounded two men who had assaulted him in the crowded Angel Stadium parking lot...[More]Lucky for him he's one of the anointed.
In calm bureaucratic language -- loaded with code words to render the book meaningless to those not in the know -- the document describes how as the crisis worsened, civil servants would introduce censorship, evacuate all but the sickest patients from hospitals and eventually be sent to one of 12 underground bunkers scattered around the country.
Britain was to be governed from these bunkers after a nuclear attack, with officials exercising powers of martial law over the remaining population. [More]
And it sounds like they had things planned down to a remarkable level of detail:
Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country. But I would guess... that ah, dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided...And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills. Of course it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. But ah with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present gross national product within say, twenty years.It would not be difficult, mein Fuhrer! Especially with the population disarmed and dependent.

2009-06-25: Press Release: SA Hunters judgement
"Is it still possible for justice to emerge from the chaos in the South African legal system?"
Gunowners SA are waiting with bated breath to see whether Judge Bill Prinsloo will deliver judgement tomorrow which confirms that which we already know (and have seen demonstrated many times over the last few years) to be the case. His judgement in the SA Hunters and Game Conservation Association (SA Hunters) v Minister of Police case heard before him this week in the North Gauteng High Court may be a pivotal case for South African democracy. If His Honour finds for the plaintiffs (SA Hunters), he will be shining a bright light on the lies and deceit that the South African Police Service, and their Central Firearms registry, have attempted to use to defraud the law-abiding South African gun owners of their lawful (and valuable) possessions... Also their most potent means of self defence in these criminally-plagued times.
In the convoluted meanderings of the legal system justice is very often the sacrificial offering burnt on the altar of political expedience. In this case the implementation of the Firearms Control Act (Act 60 of 2000) is challenged because of the disgracefully inept fashion in which the Central Firearms Registry of the SAPS has gone about their duty. The FCA is purported to be concerned with the 'fight against crime', is in reality entirely focussed on already licensed firearms with which, according to the SAPS themselves, no statistically relevant crime is ever committed - in other words, statisticians consider the occurrence of crime with licensed firearms so low that they don't measure it. The FCA itself is subject to a number of Constitutional challenges on various grounds.
SA Hunters is merely seeking to prevent the imminent criminalisation of more than a million law-abiding South African citizens by this unneeded, unwanted, and unimplementable legislation. These million or more citizens are already licensed to own their firearms and have committed no crime at all. At the stroke of midnight on 30 June 2009 they will turn into criminals, subject to jail sentences of 15 years if convicted in a court.
It is up to Judge Bill Prinsloo to put a stop to this nightmarish fairy-tale of the damned.

"Gentleman, your world is going to change. I know most of you hunt. I doubt there is anyone here that doesn’t own a firearm. The day is coming when the Federal government is going to try and disarm you. I won’t see it, but you will. Mark my words and be on your guard, the Second Amendment is the only thing standing between you and the suffering you can’t comprehend. Class is dismissed." [More]Tim Case looks at the past and then looks at the present.
Nashville police say a 21-year-old home invasion robbery suspect was fatally wounded by 1 of his victims. [More]I guess some consider them to fall under the "kids" category up to age 24.
[T]he plan looks like it could work. If by "work" we mean create a snitch-based police state... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an authoritarian initiative in FL, "legal" (?) straw purchases in RI, a legislative threat in OR, and the untimely passing of a colleague.
The officers are always to take the most particular care that no damage be done to the property of the Inhabitants where the troops are encamped. The inevitable distresses of war, are so great and numerous, that any addition to them must be deemed to proceed from barbarity and wantoness alone; more especially in us by whom that property was designed, and ought to be protected.
