“The request for a dispositive ruling on whether an actionable conflict of interest exists is denied without prejudice,” it orders. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report brings another in a series of rounds scored for the embattled Reese family, who continue to beat back their government persecutors, albeit without the level of support from gun owners they desperately need. I hate to sound like a broken record, or more accurately, I hate that I am forced to keep calling attention to the fact that not enough are stepping forward to do something so simple as to share a link or donate a dollar, and will thus repeat the admonition that if any of us are ever caught up in the government's net, we'd better pray someone will give a damn about our plight.

We're the Only Ones with Special Needs Enough
The Winchester (Va.) Police Department is taking a close look at its officers' weapons holsters after an officer's gun accidentally went off in a special needs school bus. [More]That's an Only Ones Trifecta. The "Authorized Journalist" managed to blame the holster, gun and the student!
And this "the gun went off" version has comedy gold:
"Our officer is specifically trained in crisis intervention team training and is able to deescalate situations like this."I needed a laugh this afternoon.

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word 'Make' Is
As far as kids go, I'm all for training and supervision and, not necessarily age-appropriate measures, as one-size-fits-all doesn't really, but certainly individual-appropriate measures, but if what she's ultimately driving at is enabling pitchfork murderers, the answer is "No." [Read]

Trutanich shows real public nuisances are politicians who discard supporters
“Before he became city attorney, Trutanich's law firm represented the National Rifle Association in litigation against L.A. and other jurisdictions that passed gun control laws,” LA Weekly reminded readers. “Trutanich got the NRA endorsement in 2009, and said at the time that he did not see a need for new gun control measures.

I Guess Not
Sad.
I didn't think I was asking that much. I guess I was wrong.
I sure hope I never get in a serious bind to where I need to depend on gun owners caring enough to lift a finger.
Based on results, we'd better all hope that.

March of Folly Redux
I've been pretty silent on the proposed march except for this. If I see a need to give more reasons why, I will.
That said, this rejection notice contains a pledge I not only cannot keep, but wouldn't want to.
Damn right I'll "knowingly violate" evil laws and no way will I "respect and abide by" them. Here are two personal examples I have publicly shared:
I will not comply with registration edicts.
I will not disarm. Even when that "law" you -- is "respect" the right word? -- requires it.
Guess who else wouldn't obey "existing gun laws"? (I don't really need a link here, do I?)
Sorry, mister. I can disagree with the march and still defy the oppressors. You can't "categorically sign" your toothlessness pledge on my behalf. I see the obedience über alles signal you're sending as more dangerous than anything Kokesh proposes. And if that makes me a "traitor" in your eyes, well, get in line, right behind Josh and vLadd.
