This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report  notes some foot-dragging going on. Oh well, at least the government workers will all go home to their families tonight.

Great Idea!

We need to put up more pictures like this and then sit back and watch the fun. [Read]
 

EXCLUSIVE: Is Feinstein Assault Weapon Ban DOA?

Still, does that mean we can relax as far as Feinstein’s latest plot against our rights is concerned? Imagine as you’re reading this, right now, the TV playing in the background interrupts its regular program with breaking news of another mass shooting. It’s going to happen, you now, as long as maniac killers are guaranteed success and “fame.” So now ask yourself if your representatives have demonstrated enough fidelity to their oaths to give you confidence that they’ll hold fast.

Sandy Hook father defies legislators on ‘gun control’

“Lock down’ is not an option at the Stevens’ residence and 911 will be dialed after the security of my home has been established,” he declared. “Why is that same security that my daughter enjoys at home with her dad not available at school in Newtown? That is what you should be considering, not making her dad a criminal.” [More]

Axiom 3

Back to the Articles of Confederation as America's Central Government [More
"How to Restore the West" and Axioms 1 and 2 precede this, and are linked at the end. What I'm interested in is Axiom 4, "how to organize and structure the restoration of our individual states back to the Articles," not yet posted, and the remaining Axioms to outline how we're supposed to get from here to there. Judging by the ruthless history of those in power, I don't imagine they'll go gentle into that good night. Judging from what I've read so far, I'm going to assume the author is well aware of that and will address that.

Falling on Deaf Ears

It's worse than that:
During the hearing, many pro-rights supporters were shocked and offended that Senator Beth Bye was ignoring testimony to use social media that included mocking and complaining of the pro-rights people testifying and even going so far to ‘participate’ through Twitter in a ‘drinking game’ that sought to mock the people she is supposed to represent.
Here's more on that.

Beth Bye. It thoundth like a thtore where Thylvethter buyth electronicth.

Nyaah-ah-ahh!

Doctors Insist on Right to Give Auto Transmission Repair Tips

As far as training and certification go, it makes as much sense as counseling on "gun safety." [Read]

Note none of the self-appointed "experts" are willing to tell us where they got their knowledge from, or guarantee that it is qualified advice.

And here's a clue for Dr. Wollschlager on why some of us might not be comfortable with doctors getting any information on patients and guns, especially since, as Rep. Fleming notes, "There are existing laws which ensure that doctors alert law enforcement to criminal activities that they become aware of in the course of their practice." Aside from the fact that the antis are desperately trying to find ways to cast a blanket dragnet without due process that could place a physician in the position of choosing between patient confidentiality or keeping his license to practice, the good doctor might want to ask Dad...

This gets me wondering though...if, by going to a doctor I could tell him things he would be required to report to the "authorities," that is, incriminating myself to a de facto law enforcement agent, shouldn't part of the informed consent process require him to notify me that anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law?Probably not, since I wouldn't be under arrest, but it does make me wonder where you draw the line between "Don't talk to the police" and "Don't talk to doctors."

This Day in History: February 4

At Grant's Creek, Col. Francis Locke's militia had been destroying the bridge when Lt. Col. Tarleton and his Legion arrived. The Patriots held up Lt. Col. Tarleton's dragoons for over three hours, until his mounted troops were finally able to cross the river and circle around the rear of the militia. Col. Locke's militia fled, pursued by the British Legion. [More]
