Police plant drugs on homeless black woman [Watch]I realize the video is almost three years old, but it's new to me, and I thought it deserves a place on the WarOnGuns "Only Ones" Plantation.

We're the Only Ones Planting Enough
[Via Kevin Starrett]
How long will your stockpiles of ammunition last?
It’s a question many of us must ask ourselves... [Read]The way I figure, if I'm not killed, long enough to get more.
A Matter of Timing
Some call it "lousy." [Read]
As a side note, I'm tickled to see the "legitimate media" giving increased notice to Vladd Everitt. Better that attention goes to him than to someone from a group that could be, you know, effective at actually accomplishing something. Plus, if it drains Astorturf funding from the Bradys, we'll all get to have a good laugh when the advertising guru they brought in to replace the failure Paul Helmke finally throws in the towel--maybe we can take bets as to when...
Speaking of timing, Jeez, Dan Gross, your latest video has been up for a week and has the gravitas of your main website and social media pages promoting it, and you've only gotten 1,369 views so far...? And naturally, comments and ratings have been disabled...
How are we to believe your "hundreds of thousands" claim when less than one percent of that even care enough to watch your whiny YouTube self-validation piece? That's some public demand you've demonstrated there!

What Works in New Jersey
That, in itself, would be comedy gold were the results not so outrageously tyrannical. [Read]
How do you think these hive insects would respond if you asked them to apply the same positive ID requirements to voting?
Think they'd soften up and let people buy guns with a freaking utility bill as proof of eligibility?

The Power of Habeus Corpus
If we are to live as a free people and avoid the clutches of oppression, it is imperative that we learn the history of this Anglo-American right... [More]That is, unless we believe that there are certain rights we just have to give up in order to be secure... besides, if you're not doing anything wrong, what have you got to fear?
Right?
We're the Only Ones Admitting Enough
Connecticut State Police Finally Admit Open Carry is Lawful [More]Well, that's mighty nice of these law enforcers.
Will they also admit that they have given through training on this to all of their troops, and that there is a liability for harming lawful open carriers that cannot be swept away with a blanket "following department protocols" excuse?
I'd want to see every officer sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand this, and have it placed in their personnel files right next to the document they sign telling them that sexual harassment, misuse of computer equipment and taking home office supplies for personal use are verboten...
Video demonstrates everyday danger of magazine capacity limits
MB Studio Productions’ “High Capacity Magazine PSA” provides a chilling unfolding of events in just over two minutes that demonstrates the “need” in a powerful and compelling drama. Everything about it, from the production values, to the writing, to the performances, is top notch, and this is something that gun rights advocates need to help make go viral. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report is also today's Five Minute Activism task. Watch this outstanding video and help make it go viral.
So Much for Doctor-Patient Confidentiality
State Rep. James Grant, R-Tampa, believes the provision could open the door to lawyers asking doctors about the gun-toting habits of their patients and, over time, use the information to build a database of gun owners who could be charged higher insurance rates. [More]So why wouldn't gun owners throw such questions right back in their doctor's face?
I'm thinking of setting up an online seminary/downloadable diploma, where professionals who deal with confidential client information but can otherwise be compelled by law to give it up can get ordained, and lend the added protection of priest/parishioner counseling to each encounter... :-)
Greasing the Incline
But the opposite could easily be true. After requiring background checks, the government may be more reluctant to impose other restrictions on gun ownership. [More]Then again, maybe if you domestic enemies hadn't time and again let slip your end game, this latest bit of slippery diversion might catch more with their guard down. And it's not a slope this subversive would lead us down, it's a precipice.
Immediate Access
Because waiting periods are only for Americans who want to exercise their unalienable rights... [Read]
The China Syndrome
He heard back through their broker and was informed that just 3 days before, our government made it illegal to export that equipment to US citizens. [More]I'd like to track down the agency order for that -- it seems plausible, as ammunition manufacturing machines are specified in ITAR as being on the US Munitions List, and we've seen that the administration is doing what it can to "clarify" things with that by involving Eric Holder.
I would question the "all you need is $30" assumption. I have no idea what ITAR licensing requirements and fees would be, as well as permits, licensing, zoning and insurance requirements for wherever this neo-entrepreneur wants to set up shop, but I'd think if he were doing things properly, like he's serious about starting a viable effort, he'd have a knowledgeable lawyer advising on his business plan before he commits himself too far and finds he's dug himself into a hole.
That said, if this is more "under the radar" sabotage that we only find out about by surprise, we need to find out, we need to find out what else has been/is being done, and we need to find out if the big gun and industry groups have been caught napping or just didn't think it was worth making noise over.
But first, we need to find out if this is true. I have a call in to someone who may be able to help.

Bury Her Brain at Wounded Knee
She said the billboard brings to her mind one of the most horrendous examples of that, the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1890. Historical accounts say the 7th Cavalry had detained a band of Native Americans and asked them to give up their weapons. Troops began firing after a shot rang out. Death toll estimates of Native American men, women and children range from 150 to 300. [More]So what's the problem here...?

If They're That Dangerous, What Are They Doing Out?
Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian. [Read]
I wonder if the proponents of this would also support putting these names on a Do Not Vote list...?

How California Encourages Gun Crimes
Ignorance plays a part as an enabler, but at the top of the power structure, they know exactly what they're doing. [Read]
What the general public needs to understand is "why."
Also, if I were to use the term "gun crimes," I'd put it in quotes.
That said, there's a lot of good info here.

How Can You Tell Carolyn Maloney is Lying?
Stronger gun control laws would have prevented the accused Boston bombers from getting firearms and could prevent future terror attacks, according to a New York Democratic lawmaker. [More]And she said it with a straight face.
And there are actually useful idiots who believe her!
And Jordy Yager ... well, we know about Jordy Yager...
Why Yes, I WOULD Agree
When she says she's crazy, I believe her. [Watch]
She certainly does act the part, right down to the compulsive face-scratching as she becomes more and more agitated. What a fanatic.
I pity the fool who lives with this harridan, unless he agrees with her, in which case, he's got just what he deserves.
That is one haunted, unhappy woman. I understand they're doing marvelous things these days with lithium.
