Notes from the Resistance...
To all who says they care about the Reese family, here’s an opportunity to do something simple that will help keep the man who has made their lives a living hell from gaining even more power over even more lives. Now is the time to add a simple action to your words of outrage and concern. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner column asks for your help. Today's 10-minute activism: Please read, share and above all, contact Grassley per the embedded links.
“Please, Chief Pillo, show us how easy it is to convert a pump action shotgun into a full-auto machine gun,” Bussjaeger pleads in his latest email. “If you are really good, you will accomplish this with nothing but standard off-the-shelf tools and materials found at Lowes Hardware; after all, ‘easily’ wouldn't really include special training, tools, and materials not ... ‘easily’ available to Joe Blow in his garage.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes it depends upon what the meaning of the word "easy" is.
Chief Freeman was upset when he arrived at the station to get his wife.Yeah, how dare you treat my sticky-fingered little head case like I treat mere mortals!
His wife was handcuffed and Avon officials say when Freeman arrived, he was upset that his wife and child were in booking. [More]
Starting July first, a gun worn in plain sight, in a holster is no longer a concealed weapon. [More]I'm trying to figure out why they need to wait until July to accept reality.
There’s a plaque at the Chicago Police Memorial for officers who have died in the line of duty. It reads: “It is not how they died that made them heroes. It is how they lived.” [More]That's kind of an ironic observation, all things considered.
Part of a police officer's job is to carrying a gun, but now more than 20 officers in Quincy are off the job after a surprise inspection found they had expired gun permits.Who do these guys think they are?
The news stunned lot of people and some Quincy residents are outraged that 15 patrol officers and six supervisors are now on paid leave. [More]
Some departments allow officers to carry guns "on the badge," meaning they don't need a permit. The badge itself gives them the right to carry the gun.So it is the magic amulet that makes them so much better than you and me... thank goodness their grip on the public purse is strong enough to guarantee they still get paid for doing nothing as a result of their own lazy negligence!
I don’t have the words to describe the cowardice of Congress or the depravity of the gun lobby, which conspired to kill the assault-weapons ban. I can’t explain the apparent impotence of President Obama who vowed to “use whatever power this office holds” to convert the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School into commonsense common good. [More]Indignant little hissy-fitter, isn't he?
Authorities in central Mexico say a clash between security forces and gunmen armed with AR-15 rifles and grenades left 10 assailants dead. [More]
White House on assault weapons ban: ‘We’re going to find the votes’ [More]I wonder how many of those efforts have gone back down under the radar.
