How long will your stockpiles of ammunition last?
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.
A Matter of Timing
Some call it "lousy." [Read]
As a side note, I'm tickled to see the "legitimate media" giving increased notice to Vladd Everitt. Better that attention goes to him than to someone from a group that could be, you know, effective at actually accomplishing something. Plus, if it drains Astorturf funding from the Bradys, we'll all get to have a good laugh when the advertising guru they brought in to replace the failure Paul Helmke finally throws in the towel--maybe we can take bets as to when...
Speaking of timing, Jeez, Dan Gross, your latest video has been up for a week and has the gravitas of your main website and social media pages promoting it, and you've only gotten 1,369 views so far...? And naturally, comments and ratings have been disabled...
How are we to believe your "hundreds of thousands" claim when less than one percent of that even care enough to watch your whiny YouTube self-validation piece? That's some public demand you've demonstrated there!

The Power of Habeus Corpus
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?
Right?
We're the Only Ones Admitting Enough
Connecticut State Police Finally Admit Open Carry is Lawful [More]Well, that's mighty nice of these law enforcers.
Will they also admit that they have given through training on this to all of their troops, and that there is a liability for harming lawful open carriers that cannot be swept away with a blanket "following department protocols" excuse?
I'd want to see every officer sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand this, and have it placed in their personnel files right next to the document they sign telling them that sexual harassment, misuse of computer equipment and taking home office supplies for personal use are verboten...
Video demonstrates everyday danger of magazine capacity limits
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.
So Much for Doctor-Patient Confidentiality
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?
I'm thinking of setting up an online seminary/downloadable diploma, where professionals who deal with confidential client information but can otherwise be compelled by law to give it up can get ordained, and lend the added protection of priest/parishioner counseling to each encounter... :-)
Greasing the Incline
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.
Immediate Access
Because waiting periods are only for Americans who want to exercise their unalienable rights... [Read]
The China Syndrome
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.
I would question the "all you need is $30" assumption. I have no idea what ITAR licensing requirements and fees would be, as well as permits, licensing, zoning and insurance requirements for wherever this neo-entrepreneur wants to set up shop, but I'd think if he were doing things properly, like he's serious about starting a viable effort, he'd have a knowledgeable lawyer advising on his business plan before he commits himself too far and finds he's dug himself into a hole.
That said, if this is more "under the radar" sabotage that we only find out about by surprise, we need to find out, we need to find out what else has been/is being done, and we need to find out if the big gun and industry groups have been caught napping or just didn't think it was worth making noise over.
But first, we need to find out if this is true. I have a call in to someone who may be able to help.

Bury Her Brain at Wounded Knee
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.

Death toll estimates of Native American men, women and children range from 150 to 300. [More]So what's the problem here...?

Obama’s 'hatred' of new media understandable but selective
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.

To Ourselves and Our Posterity
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"?
For that matter, with the miracle of the internet, why require them to be in this country at all? Outsourcing has worked so well for everything else, and so many shirk the call of duty that I'm sure we can find some Third Worlders to do the job Americans won't do in both the jury and ballot boxes, and more cheaply at that...
Oh, and just guess how this domestic enemy bill author Wieckowski is on guns.

What do you expect, when top law enforcement allows gun criminals to flout the law with impunity because they are the gun criminals?

Amnesty bill threat to gun owners shows need for organized involvement

Don't give any further explanation -- those with curiosity have enough information just with the picture to find out more, plus if enough of us do this, the buzz of who this guy is and what it's all about would only attract more notice.

US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad...Cairo-born Elsayed is a citizen of the United States.

[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.
It's fair to ask whose interests it serves to not just welcome such enemies into the fold, but to encourage more. It's also fair to ask why no one seems interested in invoking the denaturalization provisions of INA § 340(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1451 (a) "if the person procured naturalization 'by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.'"

Newtown father tells rally anti-gunners don’t speak for all residents
“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.
The Company We Keep
Look, I have no idea who Peaches Geldof is or why anybody thinks she should be famous. [Read]
For that matter, whatever outstanding contributions Jay-Z has made to the advancement of art and culture have also somehow escaped me.
Take what I'm going to say next under the context that I don't wear my religious convictions on my sleeve here -- that's not what his place is for. That said, reading that he's tied in with a Satanic cult that claims international elites in its membership ought to be something that makes us take notice.
Why?
Well look who ol' Jay and his globalist wife Beyonce had over for dinner with lots of other well-heeled elites, and who admitted he considers Beyonce a role model for his girls and feels a sense of kinship with Jay-Z.
Accept or reject the theological implications of this as you will. Whether you believe or not, I'm going to operate under the assumption that THEY know perfectly well what they're doing and why.
And I'm also going to note that these are the elites who want people like me disarmed.

Quisling...Paging Mr. Quisling...
As the conversation continues, NSSF will continue to work to find real solutions to FixNICS. [More]Real solutions? What, you mean by repealing it?
Evidently not:
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.
And the Constitutional authority for this is...?
Nancy?
These are the brains behind the "we have to give up something" poison circulating in the gun activist community. Reject them -- ultimately, they will prove immaterial to freedom.
They simply cannot conceive that a critical mass is sick and tired of Judenrat counsel and will not back up another inch. That's because we realize that the masters they are trying to please are evil, and the only reason they want "gun controls" is to disarm the citizenry, one surrendered beachhead at a time.
If you don't make them fight for every damn inch, if you don't make them bleed and give them pause, they'll just keep coming. How does it make sense to make us weaker and them stronger when we know that unless they are stopped, a day of reckoning will come?
Some of us, who don't work in Beltway offices and hobnob with power players, reject the notion that this has anything at all to do with "shooting sports."
Some of us -- and I suppose we'll ultimately find out if we have a critical mass -- have had it with collaborators who presume to horse-trade with our birthrights. If they want to go to the dance and speak only for themselves, fine, and may their chains set lightly.
Just leave those of us who don't the hell alone.

What's pretty much unfathomable to me is how many cud chewers out there are just fine with this, and believe all the "Heroes of the Fatherland" crap being fed to them by the overlords. Anyone who scoffs and says "It can't happen here" is simply a fool, that is, assuming they actually believe it. The kind who says it and knows it's a lie is something else.
A photo has been circulating around the internet over the past few days, taken from a window where one of the Sardaukar in an APC is aiming his rifle at the picture taker, who is simply capturing the street scene taking place outside his residence, evidently now a potentially capital crime.
There's no small amount of irony when you juxtapose that chilling, intolerable scene against the words of Dear Leader:
Every damn thing these people say is an Orwellian lie designed to enslave you. Everything.

After Senate setback, Obama quietly moving forward with gun regulation
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."

So what's she supposed to think if she's getting called "traitor" and "c**t" and being told she has Newtown blood on her hands UNDER A COORDINATED MESSAGING CAMPAIGN and she's not seeing but a handful of gun owners come to her defense?
What the hell is she supposed to think?

Reese Witherspoon arrest shows privileged hypocrisy of anti-gun elitists
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.

Farewell, little carni-pig. She went quickly while being held. Amazing, the attachments we form.
Looks Like the Bull Connor Cheeleading Society Showed Up
If this...this thing had bothered to absorb the story, including how it came to be, she would have noted an onlooking cop in the photograph accompanying this article and the explanation in the first installment that, while the rally was indeed cancelled, it noted the authorities "will allow a brief oath ceremony."
In fairness, though, civil disobedience, along with its consequences, were anticipated and pledged had Oath Keepers been told "No," so this smug little hive insect managed to stumble across a truth, even if she's too ignorant to understand its significance.
Applying identical criteria, one can only conclude she would have overturned the Zenger jury, condemned Thoreau and hanged Parker. Applying identical criteria, we must assume she would have sided with the slave-catchers and demanded the prosecution of Underground Railroad abetters, believed cuffing Rosa Parks was justified, and approved of King having to write that letter from the Birmingham jail.
This is what they mean by "progressive."
Wait 'til she gets a load of what some of us are willing to do if those in power, emboldened by what they perceive to be a critical mass of useful idiots, keep pushing.
