The Arms Trade Treaty & Our Constitution’s Loophole

This —the 2/3 Senate majority— is our Constitution’s “loophole.” [More]

‘Operation #EFAD’ To Offer Free Kindle Download and Use Social Media To Promote Liberty

Author Matthew Bracken is going to make copies of his novel “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” available starting tomorrow for free Kindle download. It’s part of a larger project that includes use of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to help spread the word about not just his book, but as an actual tool to put federal officials and the “mainstream media” on notice that their actions will be remembered, particularly the corruption of and complicity with Fast and Furious “gunwalking,” and that there stands a reserve of patriotic Americans committed to guarding against growing corruption and tyranny, and to spreading the truth. [More]

I'm doing what I can to help Matt's project go viral. We could use a hand.

Redondo Beach double homicide shows no place is safe

And while most of us don’t expect violence to happen to us, especially in the often-illusory sanctuary of our homes, we can’t lose sight of the fact that it may, at any time and place, that there is no safe place, and that it serves us best to maintain awareness of that sad, outrageous reality, and to conduct ourselves accordingly.  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report says it can happen here.

Gangster Government, and Sakharov's Immunity

Stop what you're doing and go read this, right now.

Do you know about "Operation #EFAD"?

You do now.

I'll be reporting on this tomorrow on Gun Rights Examiner, with exclusive commentary from Matthew Bracken.   And I'll be asking you to help spread the word.

We're the Only Ones Kind of a Drag Enough: Part Two

Remember this?

This might be why she panicked:

In trying to comprehend how their loved one ended up dead in a police altercation, Weglier recalled a conversation Pat had with her mother years ago involving a criminal in Illinois who was impersonating an officer, would pull women over and then rape them.

We've even given those types a name here at WarOnGuns due to it happening so often.

The dilemma? Determining whether the fakes are more of a mortal threat than the real ones. Before they kill the lights.

Meanwhile, Over in Furious Mike Paradise...

*Four members of the NYPD have been shot over the past two and a half months. [More]

Followed by "Project Bloomwalker":

**Four New York City Police officers pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to transport guns and/or stolen goods across state lines, federal prosecutors said.

And lest we forget:

Veteran officer becomes fourth NYPD cop to commit suicide in less than a month

Today's Furious Mike post is brought to you by the Number Four:

Hey, it makes a helluva lot more sense than disarming you and me and trusting everything to New York "Only Ones."

My Man Mitt

He's making all kinds of noises these days to backtrack on his record.

Me, I think he ought to answer the damn questions.

I also think we ought to take him at his word, that he believes in and supports Massachusetts-style "gun laws":

Anti-gunners aren't the only ones using blinders to make themselves feel better.

The Noose Tightens

Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it. [More]

Some are dismissing this as an inaccurate representation of the bill, and point to RT being a Russian source with an agenda.

I've dealt with RTAmerica before, and again, and they're certainly more willing to address our issue and give us our say than most of our domestic "Authorized Journalists."

There's one way to settle the controversy: Read the bill for yourself.

If it looks like tyranny, and if it smells like tyranny...

Thanks, servants!  All of you!

I can't tell you how much more secure in liberty I feel, knowing you are further insulated from the likes of us wherever you go!

This Day in History: February 29

“We have opened an assembly at Camp. From this apparent ease, I suppose it is though we must be in happy circumstances. I wish it were so, but, alas, it is not. Our provisions are in a manner, gone. We have not a ton of hay at command, nor magazine (storehouse) to draw from. Money is extremely scarce, and worth little when we get it. We have been so poor in camp for a fortnight, (two weeks) that we could not forward the public dispatches, for want of cash to support the expresses.”
General Nathanael Greene to Joseph Reed [More]
