Obama’s 'hatred' of new media understandable but selective

That said, Obama’s hatred for new media is one-sided, that is, he only hates that which does not promote or defend him, or that which he cannot control. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes an exclusive table with reserved seating, where privileged attendees nonetheless begrudge non-invitees from foraging for themselves.

At Last We Can Agree!

"There is no point whatsoever for gun control advocates to engage in discussion with the NRA or its allies at any level." [More]

Seeing as how my rights aren't up for debate, I'm fine with that. Especially since, if we accept those terms as stated, all discussion in the legislature will immediately cease.

About Last Night...

...on Armed American Radio:

Stephanie Samford of the NRA. Author of the riveting book, Guns Across the Border-Mike Detty, details his incredible story of being a confidential informant selling guns to Mexican cartels at the request of the ATF and David Codrea joins the discussion. Michael Martin describes the USCCA Affiliate Training program and Human Events-Guns and Patriots Editor, Neil McCabe talks DC politics.

Mike's interview occupied all of Hour 2, and I think it's one of the best segments I've ever participated in.

The Manchinian Candidate

This [deleted] needs to be targeted for political extinction. [Read]

I don't care if a doctrinaire anti-gun zealot is running against him, he needs to be very publicly rejected as an object lesson for others.  If he's not, the lesson they will learn is there is no cost for betrayal, and no amount of BS the "no line in the sand/lesser of two evils" crowd won't put up with.

Howl of the RINO

I'd love to know who they were so I could yell at the top of my lungs back at them. [Watch]

Constitution Watch

Just a reminder that this is a great resource to bookmark and be apprised of new gun-related federal bills as they're introduced. [Read]

I see recent updates includes bills on "undetectable guns," a lying title from that despicable RINO Peter King, an attempt by Charlie Rangel to unchain ATF, an explosive proposition and more...

While you're over there, don't forget to tab on over to see the latest from the GREs.

A Way Forward

Yes, there is. [Read]

But I don't think those who expect us to back up are going to like it.

That Championship Feeling

Gov. Cuomo is offering $65,000 in federal cash to New York state-shooting ranges so that they can expand — a move some gun advocates believe is an attempt to mend fences after pushing for tighter gun control. [More]

Brilliant move. The last time an anti-gun politician redistributed some plunder for a gun range, it earned him credit for being "a true champion of the Second Amendment."

To Ourselves and Our Posterity

The California Assembly passed a bill on Thursday that would make the state the first in the nation to allow non-citizens who are in the country legally to serve on jury duty. [More]

Why discriminate with the "legally" qualifier? Hasn't our top law enforcement official told us the full enfranchisement of Undocumented Democrats is a "matter of civil and human rights"?

For that matter, with the miracle of the internet, why require them to be in this country at all?  Outsourcing has worked so well for everything else, and so many shirk the call of duty that I'm sure we can find some Third Worlders to do the job Americans won't do in both the jury and ballot boxes, and more cheaply at that...

Oh, and just guess how this domestic enemy bill author Wieckowski is on guns.

In a Nutshell

Another problem for gun control advocates: There would be no lasting record of the sale. [More]

How much more clearly do they need to scream it?

Sound and fury notwithstanding, they're not interested in background checks, they're interested in creating records that will enable registration.

Turmoil

Perhaps one day it will be more widely understood that the limits are more attributable to poor individual choices than to "inequities," and that "venerable" is as venerable does. [Read]

Until then, the turmoil will continue.

Comparatively Speaking

You think you're looking at Iraq instead of Philadelphia... [More]

Actually for a comparable period of the last recorded homicide tabulation for Iraq in 2008 by Gun Policy.org, Iraq's rate was 2.0 per 100,000 and Philly's was over 10 times that.

What do you expect, when top law enforcement allows gun criminals to flout the law with impunity because they are the gun criminals?

What this story is really doing, of course, is ginning up public hysteria against "AK47-style" firearms. 

The Heirs of Liberty

Alrighty then. [Click at your own risk]
