DoJ DoS

Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today's federal bust of Megaupload riled 'em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov (and plenty of other foes) leaving them completely dead. [More]

Breaking: Issa Subpoenas AZ US Attorney Criminal Division Chief

Now from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform comes this bombshell, giving further details on what's going on with Cunningham... [More]

Darrell Issa offers confirmation of sorts to yesterday's WarOnGuns report.

The long knives are out.

We're the Only Ones Mixed Up Enough

A homeowner was held at gunpoint and his family pet was killed in a mix-up involving a DeKalb County police call. [More]

Naturally, the "Authorized Journalists" tell us the name of the homeowner, but not the name of "the officer."

And naturally, "[t]he first officer faces no disciplinary action."

Bluenoses for Blue Laws

Sunday should be more than, as the current law states, "a rest day for all species of wild bird and wild animal life." It should also be a day that residents can walk without fear in the woods and along the beaches. A day during which horseback riders can follow trails through the forest without the fear of being mistaken for a whitetail buck. [More]

Oh, go f*** yourselves.

Sometimes, debate isn't called for.

Ohio Action Needed

It eliminates a criminal charge ripe for abuse where the officer has discretion in determining if you met his or her definition of the term "promptly" that particular day. It removes the statutory obligation to notify at any time, as well as a criminal penalty. It removed the "hands in plain sight" requirements since a police officer could simply say your hands were not visible, which results in the same criminal charges. [Read]

Ohio gun owners--are you going to make them carry this load alone, or will you help?

McCain ‘opposition research’ gives further insights into Romney on guns

Of particular interest to Gun Rights Examiner readers—what they came up with on guns. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes if they figure they need to know about this, don't you figure we do too?

Capping Vesuvias

Big Mistake. That just means the more pressure containing them, the louder our voices will be heard when they finally burst explosively through the barrier.  I sure wouldn't want the fallout of that directed my way. [Read]

Open Letter to Roberta Wagner and Latasha Robinson of the FDA

Because of these intended uses, your walnut products are drugs within the meaning of section 201 (g)(1)(B) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(B)]. Your walnut products are also new drugs under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)] because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced conditions. Therefore, under section 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355(a)], they may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application. Additionally, your walnut products are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore, adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. Thus, your walnut products are also misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, in that the labeling for these drugs fails to bear adequate directions for use [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)]. [More]

Dear Parasites,

I guess if stupid unelected bureaucrats can declare Chore Boy scrubber pads are firearms under the right set of conditions,  you two "just following orders" Ilsa wannabes can classify walnuts as drugs and make threats backed by force of state arms.  Way to go securing the blessings of Liberty there, gals--but why bring up the Constitution? It's not like it has any bearing on your activities.

This is public notice that I am in possession of illicit walnut drugs and am administering them without any license to my family and advising them that eating them is good and healthy for them.  In other words, that is, in your words, I am "a layperson us[ing] these drugs," obviously, if you are to be believed, unsafely "for their intended purposes."

Something must be done!


Be advised I am defying you and will continue to do so until you send someone to stop me--before I do it again!  Also be advised that I will not go willingly, so bring a lunch (and make sure you include plenty of delicious, healthy walnuts!).

Jeez, next thing you know, petty government tyrant wannabes will be telling us water doesn't hydrate or some such foolishness, like we're Europe or something.

Some growers in CA pronounce almonds "ammonds" because, to get them out of the tree you have to knock the "l" out of them--prompting a friend to ask if we should call walnuts "whaaanuts" ("a" as in "and").

Whaanuts.  Sounds like you two

In all sincerity,

David Codrea

Another Kind of Web Blackout

No, not SOPA.

Dope-a.

And your rights and the economic damage done be damned.

Castle Keep

The Castle Doctrine law gives Ohioans the right to use lethal force to protect their person and property...[More]

No it does not, either, "Authorized Journalist" Denise G. Callahan, although I don't expect you to understand why I'm taking exception.

And yo, Butler County prosecutor--if someone is in my home uninvited, job one becomes stopping the threat. If you and Colin want to call that "execution," fine. Just stay out of my home unless invited and you'll be fine.

The Larger Danger

We can only say that situations in which "seconds count" occur more in gun advocates' imaginations than in reality. We live in a community that is, by and large, safe and law-abiding, with a populace that is mostly courteous and restrained. The larger danger is from accidental shootings. [More]

Here are the unsolved Winston-Salem homicides.

Neighborhood Scout rates it a "4" out of a possible "100." Your chance of becoming a victim in Winston-Salem is "1 in 109."

Now then: How many "accidental shooting"cases by permit holders--that's who this editorial is aimed at preventing from carrying--can whoever expects us to swallow this unmitigated horsecrap provide documentation for, so we can see for ourselves whether or not he knows what the hell he's talking about--or more likely, is just a shameless and cowardly Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist liar?

That being the norm among "Authorized Journalists" is "the larger danger."
