I thank you for your time and kind attention to this matter.

Bruce W. Krafft calls more attention to it.  [Read]

You can, too, you know.

No Harm, Foul

Police say King wasn't disorderly, threatening or trying to prove a point. He merely had the gun with him when Turkeyfoot Valley Area school employee noticed it. [More]
So can we expect Howard Kurtz and Greta Van Susteren to decry the snitch and those charging and prosecuting King as silly resource-wasters?

Decision Time

[E]ach of us must decide now what form our resistance will take. [More]
And then make sure you're ready when you decide it's time to implement it.

ATF head, D.C. police chief challenged on selective magazine ban enforcement

How about it? Even though Gregory is evidently against the right to keep and bear arms and I’m for it, do my political and journalistic purposes deserve equal protection with his? He made his point, and apparently has been allowed to do so with impunity. If I try to make mine, will I be arrested, thrown in the slammer with truly dangerous criminals, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law for willfully violating the same statute you have, to date, let one of the media elites who favors policies you support skate on?

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks if we can play, too.

Funny What Passes for Libertarianism These Days

Daniel Honan appears to be projecting his own "befuddlement." [Read]

This is what passes for "expert contributors" at Big Think?  This is what passes for big thinking?

"Nudges" from Cass Sunstein? Really?

And as for Holder's plans, Honan left out the key part.  That was a deliberate choice on his part, which is all you need to know about his "libertarian" leanings, "paternal" or otherwise.

The Prevention Experts

If they're qualified to dispense advice used to create binding policy, they ought to be able to tell us what they individually would they be prepared to do if a crazed attacker burst into one of their meetings. [Read]

Attending police and Malloy's bodyguards excluded, of course. Plus the meetings will no doubt be held in a secured location under armed protection, so never mind.

Gosh, it would be easy to issue pronouncements like "These things aren't needed for hunting deer. You don't need a 30-round clip to honor the Constitution."

That is, if you were a career liar and an elitist oath-breaking hypocrite.

If You Drink, Don't Write

Should therefore the Beer Institute suggest that professional drunks patrol the bars and parking lots on the basis that the only person to stop a bad drunk is a good drunk? [More]
Michael Lewis must have been drunk when he wrote this. Because the pink elephants he conjures up in his "fantasies" are the stuff of delirium.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act: An Overview of Limiting Tort Liability of Gun Manufacturers

Here's a new report, well, from Dec. 20, published by Congressional Research Service and made available for us by the Federation of American Scientists. [Read]

I've written about these reports before (many times, actually, including posting documents I've obtained outside of normal channels), recommending that more concerned citizens need to become aware of the existence and value of them, and then demand they be shared by Congress. As is, we're dependent on leaks and activists, instead of having a straightforward path to a work product we pay for.

There are so many things I could say, but I think I'll just let this story speak for itself. [Read]

Riddle Me This

By all means, let us ban these weapons. [Read]
What's this "us"?  Got a mouse in your pocket? My weapons aren't yours to ban, you self-impressed tool.


You offer us no riddle, just a sick and cowardly declaration of war against those of us who will defy and resist any such attempt to break us and impose your evil wishes. Some of us will buy neither your stupid black helicopter cop-out, nor your Borg declaration that resistance is futile and ridiculous. If you think the fight is going to be prosecuted on our doorsteps, at the time and place of your proxies' choosing, you're too pathetically ignorant and unimaginative to even be in this classroom, let alone to presume to lecture it.

Sam has designated himself the final arbiter of what's extreme and what's reasonable.  Because he says so, so there. That must be why there's no provision for comments under his idiot long-winded screed.

Hey, whoever trains this Quisling and sells him guns -- stop it. He doesn't deserve any consideration from the gun community, and you're giving aid and comfort to a domestic enemy.  And another Sam would like to have a word with him.

This Day in History: January 4

However, on January 4, 1781 during the second British invasion of Virginia, Benedict Arnold reached Richmond with about 1,000 men. The militia had, for the most part, abandoned the few defensive positions around the capital leaving it open to the British. Prior to Arnold’s arrival, the Virginia government had moved to the safety of Charlottesville. [More]
