“Total Administrative Actions are up nearly 300 percent from 2004-2011,” he states. “Wait until you see 2012-2013!” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at yet another way the administration can put the squeeze on guns.

Report cites ATF inconsistencies but leaves gun dealers at risk for revocation
Tracking Down Reports
In Watertown, they were confiscating guns from residents. [More]That wouldn't surprise me--in fact, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw they were doing warrantless house sweeps. That said, if the rumor is also ...uh...warrantless, then it doesn't do us any good to spread it.
And that said, we can't track it down if we don't hear about it.
So it's a conversation we need to have, just let's do it with the clear understanding that we need to validate it before accepting it as cold, hard fact.
So let's validate.
Anyone?
Bueller?

The state legislature awards the franchises to the cable companies, and Baker, a former state senator, hopes there's some leverage there. [More]Ingenious!

A Higher Education
An NYU psychology student turned his Manhattan dorm room into an air rifle factory and was arrested on illegal weapons possession raps Monday, law enforcement sources told the Post. [More]And what have we all learned from this?
Gee, Where Have We Seen THIS Before?
A Personal Matter
"I personally think we need a cooling-off period." [More]You may just guarantee several with that attitude. And since when is what you personally think a claim on the rights of others? I don't suppose confining it to how you personally conduct yourself and leave everybody else the hell alone is an option with you?
Let's see, we had a bunch of murders in a "gun-free" zone, so the solution is to make sure they stay that way, at least for people inclined to obey such edicts.
Just Another Newtown Away
Some of us have been saying this all along. [Read]
That's why "our leaders" dancing around proposing compromises on meaningless BS, when they should be screaming from the rooftops about the blame lying squarely on phony "gun free zones," are so maddening.
Yes, there will be another Newtown. In a "gun-free zone." Which, naturally, this article makes no mention of, despite giving plenty of ink to the gun-grabbers and their certain prescription for catastrophe.

Special Interests
US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad...Cairo-born Elsayed is a citizen of the United States. The mosque’s name, al-Hijrah, refers to the Islamic strategy of using migrants to gradually expand Islam into new territories. [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.'"
Ah well, I'm sure the political leaders and their shadow backers have only the best interests of "our democracy" in mind as they re-engineer the Republic, to include disarming you and me for our own good.
