Notes from the Resistance...
Police plant drugs on homeless black woman [Watch]I realize the video is almost three years old, but it's new to me, and I thought it deserves a place on the WarOnGuns "Only Ones" Plantation.
It’s a question many of us must ask ourselves... [Read]The way I figure, if I'm not killed, long enough to get more.
If we are to live as a free people and avoid the clutches of oppression, it is imperative that we learn the history of this Anglo-American right... [More]That is, unless we believe that there are certain rights we just have to give up in order to be secure... besides, if you're not doing anything wrong, what have you got to fear?
Connecticut State Police Finally Admit Open Carry is Lawful [More]Well, that's mighty nice of these law enforcers.
MB Studio Productions’ “High Capacity Magazine PSA” provides a chilling unfolding of events in just over two minutes that demonstrates the “need” in a powerful and compelling drama. Everything about it, from the production values, to the writing, to the performances, is top notch, and this is something that gun rights advocates need to help make go viral. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report is also today's Five Minute Activism task. Watch this outstanding video and help make it go viral.
State Rep. James Grant, R-Tampa, believes the provision could open the door to lawyers asking doctors about the gun-toting habits of their patients and, over time, use the information to build a database of gun owners who could be charged higher insurance rates. [More]So why wouldn't gun owners throw such questions right back in their doctor's face?
But the opposite could easily be true. After requiring background checks, the government may be more reluctant to impose other restrictions on gun ownership. [More]Then again, maybe if you domestic enemies hadn't time and again let slip your end game, this latest bit of slippery diversion might catch more with their guard down. And it's not a slope this subversive would lead us down, it's a precipice.
He heard back through their broker and was informed that just 3 days before, our government made it illegal to export that equipment to US citizens. [More]I'd like to track down the agency order for that -- it seems plausible, as ammunition manufacturing machines are specified in ITAR as being on the US Munitions List, and we've seen that the administration is doing what it can to "clarify" things with that by involving Eric Holder.
She said the billboard brings to her mind one of the most horrendous examples of that, the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1890. Historical accounts say the 7th Cavalry had detained a band of Native Americans and asked them to give up their weapons. Troops began firing after a shot rang out. Death toll estimates of Native American men, women and children range from 150 to 300. [More]So what's the problem here...?
Stronger gun control laws would have prevented the accused Boston bombers from getting firearms and could prevent future terror attacks, according to a New York Democratic lawmaker. [More]And she said it with a straight face.
That said, Obama’s hatred for new media is one-sided, that is, he only hates that which does not promote or defend him, or that which he cannot control. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes an exclusive table with reserved seating, where privileged attendees nonetheless begrudge non-invitees from foraging for themselves.
"There is no point whatsoever for gun control advocates to engage in discussion with the NRA or its allies at any level." [More]Seeing as how my rights aren't up for debate, I'm fine with that. Especially since, if we accept those terms as stated, all discussion in the legislature will immediately cease.
Stephanie Samford of the NRA. Author of the riveting book, Guns Across the Border-Mike Detty, details his incredible story of being a confidential informant selling guns to Mexican cartels at the request of the ATF and David Codrea joins the discussion. Michael Martin describes the USCCA Affiliate Training program and Human Events-Guns and Patriots Editor, Neil McCabe talks DC politics.Mike's interview occupied all of Hour 2, and I think it's one of the best segments I've ever participated in.
Gov. Cuomo is offering $65,000 in federal cash to New York state-shooting ranges so that they can expand — a move some gun advocates believe is an attempt to mend fences after pushing for tighter gun control. [More]Brilliant move. The last time an anti-gun politician redistributed some plunder for a gun range, it earned him credit for being "a true champion of the Second Amendment."
The California Assembly passed a bill on Thursday that would make the state the first in the nation to allow non-citizens who are in the country legally to serve on jury duty. [More]Why discriminate with the "legally" qualifier? Hasn't our top law enforcement official told us the full enfranchisement of Undocumented Democrats is a "matter of civil and human rights"?
Another problem for gun control advocates: There would be no lasting record of the sale. [More]How much more clearly do they need to scream it?
You think you're looking at Iraq instead of Philadelphia... [More]Actually for a comparable period of the last recorded homicide tabulation for Iraq in 2008 by Gun Policy.org, Iraq's rate was 2.0 per 100,000 and Philly's was over 10 times that.
His opposition to an armed citizenry, in spite of the demonstrable failure of his own citizen disarmament edicts as an effective public safety policy, may be best explained by another motivation. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the "public safety" excuse isn't cutting it, so the motivation must lie elsewhere.
Activist Russ Howard welcomes GOA’s alert as a desperately needed sea-change adjustment to the single-issue model that prevails in the gun rights community, just in time for a chance to defeat the “Gang of 10’s” comprehensive open-immigration bill. “This could be like a call from the governor 10 minutes before execution. What would we do without GOA and the other steadfast groups like Grassroots North Carolina and Oregon Firearms Federation?” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes single issues are affected by other single issues, and there are more productive ways to champion them than by politely asking domestic enemies to please stop.
What you can expect is to join him as he hosts cartel gun buyers in his living room as ATF agents monitor things from outside the house. If you followed Fast and Furious, you can expect to see a familiar face. You can expect to see screw-ups and betrayals. And, if you’re like me, you can expect to find yourself sometimes wanting to shout at Mike through the pages and ask him what the hell he was thinking to ever get involved in such a mess, let alone volunteer for it. That’s when you’ll know he’s done his job as a writer, and not only immersed his readers in the settings of his narrative, but gotten us to care. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report reviews a new book that will flesh things out for those of you who have been keeping informed on all things "gunwalker," and will open up a whole new chapter for those who haven't.
John McCain Says He’ll Help Bring Gun Control “Back” [More]Somebody must have flipped over the Red Queen.
A North Carolina lawmaker says he was caught off guard by the angry responses he got to a bill that would require the owners of pit bulls, mastiffs and Rottweilers and other large breeds to undergo criminal background checks. [More]
AMMO Act would limit ammo buying, storing for non-Pentagon departments and agencies [More]OK by me. Just keep in mind the unintended consequence will be it will also limit stores that can be liberated.
If not firearms, how about fireworks control? [More]Why not controls for gasoline, too?
It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
He called for the U.S. to ... provide weapons to the "right people." [More]I thought they already did that, and the result was a dead ambassador. So, Bened...I mean, John: Will you run the same background checks on them you seem bound and determined to impose on me?
As they drew alongside the woods, the Patriots poured shot after shot into them, killing and wounding half of them. [More]
“Total Administrative Actions are up nearly 300 percent from 2004-2011,” he states. “Wait until you see 2012-2013!” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at yet another way the administration can put the squeeze on guns.
In Watertown, they were confiscating guns from residents. [More]That wouldn't surprise me--in fact, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw they were doing warrantless house sweeps. That said, if the rumor is also ...uh...warrantless, then it doesn't do us any good to spread it.
The state legislature awards the franchises to the cable companies, and Baker, a former state senator, hopes there's some leverage there. [More]Ingenious!
I don’t want to politicize an act of terrorism, but... [More]In other words:
I want to politicize the f*** out of an act of terrorism.What did Rahm say?
An NYU psychology student turned his Manhattan dorm room into an air rifle factory and was arrested on illegal weapons possession raps Monday, law enforcement sources told the Post. [More]And what have we all learned from this?
In short The House has full authority to resolve this, but you refuse to use it. [More]A-Yup.
"I personally think we need a cooling-off period." [More]You may just guarantee several with that attitude. And since when is what you personally think a claim on the rights of others? I don't suppose confining it to how you personally conduct yourself and leave everybody else the hell alone is an option with you?
US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad...Cairo-born Elsayed is a citizen of the United States. The mosque’s name, al-Hijrah, refers to the Islamic strategy of using migrants to gradually expand Islam into new territories. [More]He's actually "a dual citizen of Egypt and the US," and that leads to a bit of a conflict, especially since in order to make that happen, he raised his hand and repeated this:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."It hardly appears like he's holding up his part of the bargain.
On this day in 1781, British General Lord Charles Cornwallis retreats to Wilmington, North Carolina, after being defeated at Guilford Courthouse by 4,500 Continental Army soldiers and militia under the command of American Major General Nathanael Greene. [More]
Interestingly, the father of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza, an executive at GE Capital. [More]Yeah, that is interesting.
The Multnomah County Commissioners are planning to pass an anti-gun ordinance this Thursday at 9:30 AM. [More]Let me guess: In the world of the day after tomorrow, I'll be able to report that Kevin was accompanied by dozens of outraged Oregon gun owners, and the ones that couldn't make it at least helped him with gas money.
Tsarnaev Brothers Killed MIT Officer Because They Needed A Gun [More]There oughtta be a law!
In the wake of Congress’ inability to pass a gun-control bill, a broad coalition of African American pastors has announced a new nationwide campaign designed to curb the appetite for people to use handguns that they say has led to the preaching of far too many funerals in their community. [More]Let me get this straight: They say the problem is in their community, so their solution is to impose restrictions in communities nationwide where individuals may be enjoying their freedoms and handling their responsibilities as volitional beings just fine, thank you...?
The City Council on Tuesday voted 6-1 to direct staff to develop a plan to "draft initiatives on gun control" and "support gun control laws." [More]In violation of California state preemption, mind you, but since when has following the law ever stopped those who would pass and enforce laws against you?
America’s Insane Asylum for Jihadists, Hustlers and Frauds [More]And big bro was on the "terror watch list" plus had a domestic violence rap, and Mom was a shoplifter who fled the country with an outstanding warrant!
That the Obama administration is hostile to the concept of an armed citizenry is a given. That the president was bitterly disappointed by failure of the Senate to pass any new legislation was observable. That his administration pledged “under the radar” efforts and that his Vice President has been telling supporters to expect Executive Orders are documented. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks what YOU think about the Obama administration wanting to remove privacy barriers to effect more "gun control."
“MAIG requested that the Times run a correction of my Friday op-ed,” Kopel explained. “My NYT editor, after reviewing my detailed explanation of the legal issues, declined to issue a correction. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes hell has officially frozen over.
“I’d just like to say that there are a lot of law-abiding gun owners in Newtown who are sick and very darned tired of politicians using the tragedy in our town to promote a political agenda,” Stevens declared, addressing some of them, including Governor Dannell Malloy, Senator Chris Murphy, whom Stevens called “a putz,” and President Barack Obama. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there's another side to the story that no "Authorized Journalists" or politicians seem to be interested in telling.
As the conversation continues, NSSF will continue to work to find real solutions to FixNICS. [More]Real solutions? What, you mean by repealing it?
A background check is only as good as the records in the database. FBI NICS databases are currently incomplete because many states have not provided all records that establish someone is prohibited from owning a firearm under current law, especially including mental health adjudications and involuntary commitments orders. Including these missing records will help ensure more accurate and complete background checks.
Cold Spring Police Chief Phil Jones says it’s the best development in school safety he’s seen. [More]And he's been looking for 10 years!
Exigent Circumstances-what if it was your AO being searched? [More]My immediate reaction was a "Gravity's Rainbow" moment.
"His conduct in school almost incited a riot," Harper said. [More]We talked about this last week.
Fish Kill from its relative situation to West Point and the Army which has gnerally operated below it, has been the tempory deposit [struck: of most] of the surplus stores, necessary to be carried to or from the field, or West point, or damag’d stores which have commonly been sent to that place on the first instance and afterwards: to the places where they would be best repaird. Besids which there is a small Armory which executes the light repairs and prevents much expence of transportation. [More]
A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Final Rule published today in the Federal Register and a news release issued Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services, followed up with a notice to be published tomorrow, are two developments all but ignored by the mainstream press even though Vice President Joe Biden announced last week that the administration would be using executive orders to advance “gun control” goals following a Senate battle that could not muster the votes to do so legislatively.[More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes all administration efforts aren't done with great fanfare. Some, they would just as soon keep "under the radar."
Unlike with drunk driving laws, which punish for after-the-fact violations, Witherspoon was one of a handful of privileged Hollywood dilettantes joining Mayor Michael Bloomberg to ‘demand a plan” to place prior restraints on sober and responsible gun owners, essentially to control those who have already exhibited self control as a response to those who do not. That Witherspoon recognizes this weakness in herself may provide a key as to why she fears others may also share in her character defects, and does not trust them to act responsibly on their own. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another elitist reprobate who can't -- or won't -- control herself, so she naturally insists that the rest of us be controlled.
Charles Ramsey has called in federal authorities to investigate. [More]Yeah, it's not like he's got a whole department full of cops at his disposal or anything...I guess he just wanted to bring in people with experience.
Today was sidekick Seanto’s birthday as well as being AAR’s 4th year on the air. Happy birthday to Sean and AAR! Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation discusses his support for the Toomey/Manchin background check bill that failed in the senate, David Codrea analyzes the discussion and Scott Wilson of Connecticut Citizens Defense League talks CT. gun grabs and 2A politics.
"Let no one be so cruel as to try to use the heinous acts of these two young men last week to derail the dreams and futures of millions of hardworking people," Leahy said. [More]Besides, we're relying on our deliberate subversion to create more demand for control. What kind of cruel person would deny us that?
The news that the suspects were not authorized to own firearms will likely add fuel to calls for tougher gun laws... [More]"Gun laws" were ignored. They were useless. So we obviously need more of them.
“On Thursday I smuggled a half-dozen 30 round AR-15 standard capacity magazines into Connecticut in deliberate disobedience of the new state diktat,” he "confessed," admitting that act is a "‘D’ Class felony. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a symbolic as well as a very real cranking up of resistance.
