Notes from the Resistance...
Animals filmed for television wildlife documentary series are denied their right to privacy, a leading U.K. academic claimed in a report that emerged Friday. [More]I was all set to say something about denying animal privacy tonight on the grill when I looked up the leading academic.
The jury found the officer, Patrick Pogan, 24, guilty of filing a criminal complaint that contained false statements concerning the cyclist, Christopher Long, including an assertion that Mr. Long knocked Mr. Pogan down by intentionally steering his bicycle into him. [More]What did we just get done saying about lying?
Cobb police SWAT team member Sgt. Ken Reda, 37, and Shelley Powell, also 37, were both charged with making false statements and obstruction, allegedly lying about who was on the boat and the circumstances around the accident. [More]That's the thing about tolerating a culture of lying. Those who can bring themselves to lie for you when your butt is on the line can also bring themselves to lie against you when it's their butts...
Debate over hunter-orange heats up [More]
A Surrey judge ordered two weapons prohibitions Thursday after a youth last year posed with an AK-47 on a Facebook page... [More]Maybe they should have used Twitter...?
So what we're being told, either by elected officials or private sector officials, is that we don't want to do things to restrict access to guns or where guns are taken, because we don't have the guts to upset the people with lots of guns. [More]Bear in mind Vanderboegh's new BFF is talking about Chicago here. I still laugh over the suggestion that Mike should have put a "We Are Everywhere" sticker on his back...
Mayor Richard Daley today urged Chicagoans to turn in firearms in exchange for a prepaid credit card, but the city is going to have to pass the hat to come up with enough money to cover the yearly program. [More]
[Click graphic to enlarge]Randy Hillman, director of the Alabama Association of District Attorneys, opposed the bill and urged law-enforcement officers to do the same. In an e-mail to law-enforcement officers before the bill was passed he said, in part, “These weapons have no legitimate sporting function and will only serve to endanger the lives of law enforcement.” [More]Bite me, Randy. You and the FOP.
[A]re we witnessing evidence of a federal felony in progress? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at an ongoing train wreck. Not that I actually give a damn, but all the "Authorized Journalists" appear oblivious to the real story here.
At Crooked Billet on April 30, 1778, British Maj. John Simcoe's troops ambushed Brig. Gen. John Lacey's platoon, killing 26 and capturing 58 Continental Army soldiers. [More]
As the officers approached the vehicle, McKinnley slipped and his firearm went off. Officer Mitch McDannald thought the gunfire came from the suspect and he returned fire, fatally wounding Thompson. [More]Yes, "it's unfortunate that they were put into this position," ain't it, though, Commissioner Billy?
A state trooper named Sheila McKaig, 41, was stopped 10 times for various traffic offenses over 14 months and never once got a New Jersey traffic citation. [More]Hey, it's Jersey. And she's an "Only One."
She admitted to authorities, the affidavit states, that she had been smoking crack four to six times a week for about a year, and that she and another person who lives with her occasionally drove to Milwaukee to buy crack. [More]In Wisconsin.
Did armed Ohioan near Obama's plane really break law?And until it's proven, what the hell's the deal with this?
Man at N.C. airport had permit to carry gun, advocates note [More]
If no National Guard to curb violence, then what? [More]Oh, I don't know, genius. Suppose we think this through...
The incumbent, Shelley Berkley, has earned an "F" rating from Gun Owners of America, and that alone should motivate gun-owning constituents to pink slip her. "On the Issues" tells us NRA gave her an "F" in 2003, that she backs nonsense like "smart guns" and waiting periods--although it does look like she changed positions on suing gun manufacturers.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column gives Nevada gun owners a more sure way to place their bets.
Here are two challengers to consider for unseating Berkley, Michele Fiore and Craig Lake... [More]
To secure milk was always a problem, and now Washington planned as follows: April 29, 1778. "Many inconveniences having attended the order of the 17th inst. by confining the purchasing of milk and other necessaries for the use of the sick to the regimental Q. Masters. Instead of that mode a discreet serjiant and few men according to the number sick in the regiment, are to be sent out daily to purchase such articles." [More]
Oklahoma City police officer shot by another aiming at charging dog [More]How come this never happens to Cesar Millan?
A jury has convicted a former northwest Ohio police chief of stealing firearms that belonged to his department. [More]Well, I guess "selling," not "giving," but you get the idea...
Judge tosses arrest of cop accused in fatal DUI crash [More]No wonder Daley wants to keep his subjects disarmed.
Award-winning Ridgeland Police Officer commits perjury in DUI case, leaves town. [More]Aren't the "Only Ones" who win awards typically considered the very best they've got?
I thought about if for another minute, and decided what's good enough for legendary character actor Alfonso Bedoya is good enough for me.Texas gov. shoots, kills 'wily' coyote during jogAnd then there's this approach:
Canadian folk singer killed by coyotes, park official saysOh dear, I so hate having to make tough decisions...
That seems a pretty dangerous and irresponsible thing to do to people who want to be left alone. [More]This latest crap from this little dictator warranted a second Gun Rights Examiner column.
Daley: Send gun industry lawsuit to World Court [More]How about instead we send you to a citizen tribunal? I'd actually assign that more legitimate authority.
Speakers included NRA executive vice president Wayne La-Pierre...[More]Just so we're clear--even though their headquarters is right down the road in Fairfax, they couldn't spare anyone to address the national Second Amendment March--but they could set up a recruiting tent there.
The first LiveFreePA event was held last year and featured legendary guitarist Ted Nugent, a staunch advocate for hunting and gun rights. [More]So the "unaffordable speaking fee" was waived?
So whether you're for or against the FFA strategy, gun owners deserve to know just how much distance the "800 Lb. gorilla" of the gun rights movement intends to keep. Specifically, Brad Henry is claiming an "A" rating, yet he gives a string of buzzword-seeded excuses that sounds like it was scripted by the Brady Campaign. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner asks a question about ratings that we ought to have an answer to.
Unable to sail on it's own, the Drake was taken in tow. By April 28th, the ship was again made seaworthy and sent off with a prize crew. The capture of the Drake, the first British warship to be defeated and captured by Americans, increased the furor over all the dastardly actions of the Americans from Whitehaven to the capture of Drake. [More]
Suspects in gun violence often no strangers to law enforcement [More]I guess this is where we say "Duh"?
"Mayor Bloomberg is a visionary against gun violence, and acts of youth violence and murder are up, so they are holding these meetings in each borough," Cruz said.That must explain the uptick. Or maybe she just doesn't want to get voted off the island?
His aim is to force lawmakers to expand the rights of concealed-handgun owners in bars or rescind the current exception that allows law-enforcement officers and commonwealth's attorneys to carry concealed weapons and consume alcohol. [More]How DARE he?
The mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda — even most police officers do not use them — but the mayor’s guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment. [More]It does seem to be a universal characteristic these wretched rich anti-gun (for everyone but themselves) hypocrites share. Oh well, just so we're clear on where you stand.
Tidwell believes that after the raid, the deputies intentionally scratched the letter "A" off the other side of the house to make it look as though their mistake was unavoidable because it looked like all one house. [More]That seems to be the kind of thing that wouldn't occur to any but a mind practiced at such ways of thinking. You know, an "Only One."
...BECAUSE THEY CAN—no one in government or the "mainstream" media is holding them accountable. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column answers its own question.
"Advise him that I have a trooper stopped. He is a captain with the Highway Patrol, and he is extremely 10-55."The code 10-55, according to the report, indicates an intoxicated driver. No action was taken against the driver. [More]
No, of course not.
What do they call that?
Oh, yeah. "Professional courtesy."
"Only Ones"-style.
You don't have a problem with that, do you?
[Via Cocked and Loaded]
The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control offered a similar sentiment, noting that its store employees are trained to cooperate fully with robbers. [More]Because not resisting evil makes us all safer!
Imagine that: the government desiring, commanding that every able citizen own weapons and be skilled in using them! And to do so on “holy days” and at Church. [More]Or we could just have collectivist clergy who espouse government-coerced "generosity" put up one of those "No Guns" signs...
Dozens Ignored a Man Dying on a Sidewalk in Queens [More]Looks like basic humanity, curiosity and initiative have been bred out of these control group subjects.
Challenged by the gun - US gun industry fuelling Jamaica's murder rate but more assistance from the FBI and ATF could be coming [More]Some will no doubt expect this to create a claim on your and my rights.
Police said he was monitoring local agencies and had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder. [More]OK. And he was "nowhere near the president."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wants to shut the last two rest-stop bathrooms on non-toll roads in the most densely populated U.S. state after this year to save $270,000. [More]What's the Nike slogan?
2 Chicago state reps: Bring in the National Guard [More]Not just failure, but utter failure.
The hatred of ATF, of course, is nothing new. [More]More of the conflationist nonsense-with-a-purpose we've come to expect from Newsweek. How about instead of making their entire focus those who "hate" ATF, they use those journalist credentials and resources to look at just why that might be the case.
Here's what's really "under the radar," and a typical example of how agenda-driven media statists have shed the time-honored role of journalist watchdogs over government to become its guard dogs instead: You Isikoff, and you Hosenball--why not investigate CleanUpATF.org, a website run by bureau whistleblowers detailing corruption and incompetence? Why the media blackout on insiders who are documenting abuses?When they don't look into any of this, what will that tell us?
Why not look into their charges that "Managers, Counsel, Internal Affairs and staff of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATFE or 'ATF') have repeatedly given false testimony, concealed substantial waste, fraud and abuse, abused their lawful authority, and waged systematic campaigns of reprisal against their own employees that dare to speak out." ?
Or do you expect us to believe this is the first you six-figure (plus?) professionals with a huge news organization and research staff have heard of this?
While you're at it, tell us about the Good O' Boy Roundup. Then tell us why one of the foremost statisticians, Dr. Fritz Scheuren testified to a House committee that the NFRTR (firearms transfer record) "is insufficient for criminal proceedings" and then square that with former ATF NFA branch chief Thomas Busey claiming (on video) "Let me say that when we testify in court, we testify that the data base is 100 percent accurate. That's what we testify to, and we will always testify to that. As you probably well know, that may not be 100 percent true."
In short, how about some journalism from you highly-paid hacks instead of the shallow propaganda attacks conflating Americans who believe in the right to keep and bear arms with domestic terrorists that has become your trademark?
What does that have to do with the right of the people to keep and bear arms? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column explains.
