‘Ghost’ Dorner provides cautionary tale as ‘black community’ seeks answers

And as for the ghost in the machine?

Is he dead? Or is he cornered? That damned elusive ex-cop Dorner… [More]
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner column highlights a cautionary tale for monopoly of violence advocates, and wonders if Obama's State of the Union speech might get preempted by one of his biggest fans.

Today is the day - T Minus 4 - Assaulted II Update

From Kris Koenig:
Tonight is the State of the Union Address and we will hear the arguments for limiting 2nd Amendment rights in the name of public safety. We will hear statements that the conservative wing of our government must do the right thing and pass comprehensive gun control legislation. As Gene Hoffman of the CalGuns Foundation said at the close of the trailer, “It’s not about being a republican. It’s not about being a democrat. It’s about respecting the Bill of Rights.”
Help us finish this film to teach that the 2nd Amendment is a civil right and must be respected as such.
To do that, we must work together to see this campaign funded. We’re just under 50% of our goal, which means we have the ability to make our goal by applying the following simple steps:
1) Donate if you haven’t.
2) Double your donation if you already made one or
3) Have a friend match your donation.
4) Share this project link http://kck.st/VZmXBM on Twitter and on your Facebook today and everyday until Saturday night.

Today is the day to "double or match"!
Thank you,
Kris

Gun companies urged to join with rights activists against oppressive states

Advising that this means LaRue will no longer sell anything ordinary citizens can’t possess to the NYPD, the group identified the three companies that sell them firearms for duty carry, SIG, Smith & Wesson, and Glock, and is urging fellow rights advocates to contact these companies and ask them to adopt the same policy as LaRue.

The Truth Will Out

So has the manifest been either kept hidden all these years or falsified? [Read

What this means, of course, is that conspiracies with top government involvement are real, and that evil bastards pulling strings have no compunctions about starting a profitable war in which millions upon millions will die, including their own countrymen.

Think about the evil that points to.  Fortunately for us, it's just history, and stuff like that could never happen today.

And that's why we have to have a monopoly of violence!

I'm Just Wondering...

...what a customer would do if someone came up and ordered "Give me your jewelry" and then decided he wanted more... [Read]

I'm also wondering if all "raw materials" used are totally broken down so they no longer meet the legal definition of a "firearm," and so that no possession and transfer edicts are violated...

We're Number One!

Well why not? They've been screwing everybody for years. [Read]

An Unfair Fight...

...against unequal opponents. [Read and watch]

It's good to finally see a screen adaptation of a game that works and holds to the spirit of the original.

Unnecessary 'compromises' help anti-defense forces advance

Never surrender anything. Make the enemies of the right to keep and bear arms fight for every inch, because any beachhead you cede will be used to prosecute their next advance for more lethal laws.

Go on offense. Make them be the ones who cede ground. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary warns that if you won't take the initiative to become a force multiplier to both fight preemptive surrender and go on the offense,  expect to see more ground eroded out from under your feet by those who would presume to compromise your rights, and by those who enable them by not forcing the issue.

This Day in History: February 12

I am informed, through a private channel, on which I have considerable reliance, that the enemy had landed five hundred troops under the command of a Major Craig, who were joined by a number of disaffected; that they had penetrated forty miles; that their aim appeared to be the magazine at Kingston, from which place they were about twenty miles distant.
