Court gives prosecution more time in case against N.M. gun dealer family

This latest order, essentially a two-week extension, will not seem like much to government lawyers who draw their salaries and go home at the end of the day to situations where it is their choice if the expenses they face are within their means. That’s not so for the Reese family, and every day they are denied a resolution to their ordeal is a day where legal and living expenses mount as their assets are walled off and their livelihoods are cut off from them.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes justice delayed -- which is just the way the government likes it.

Immigrant Song

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

Yumpin' Yiminy! Now what?

Murder, He Wrote

I went to the Brady Facebook page after receiving this and it looks like "Edgar Craine" removed his comment.

Maybe he was goofing with them and they booted him?  Or are there any actually that lost?

We Don't Need No Stinking Compromise

With the deadline fast-approaching for lawmakers to enact a concealed-carry law, legislation surfaced Wednesday that allows local law enforcement to object to permit applications while creating a licensing review board that has final say. [More]

Why not just let the deadline come?

And of course the "Only Ones" will need to have the access code. [More]

It's only "common sense."

For the children.

Capitalists selling rope--it's almost like someone predicted that.

We're the Only Ones Edging Out the Competiton Enough

From that moment forward until the event ended, the gun rights activists were harassed by all day by Wayne County deputies. [More]

What were their names?  What were their badge numbers?

I love seeing "buyback" monkeywrenching happen, but we need to anticipate a police response and be prepared for it--along with real-time video streaming and having multiple participants prepared to be witnesses and demanding IDs.  That includes having our own undercover guys--it would be great to pretend to be interested in turning in a gun and recording what the cops say to discourage going to the private buyers.

It's a survival thing--the more successful these become, the more aggressive we can expect the retaliation to become.

Denver Fox affiliate, Examiner.com hoaxed by story of man being mistaken for a terrorist

This seems to be a pretty fair write-up. [Read]

The reporter asked me if this made me "less inclined to trust Dave Kopel as a source".

I replied:

No, what it does is reaffirm to me that we are all human and are all capable of being sucker-punched--even the most highly respected among us, and especially if the information is calculated and comes to us from a seemingly credible source.

Who would even think of making up a story like that? And why?

That said, I would not have gone with it just on Kopel's say-so and without further corroboration--his reputation and credibility were what made me willing to invest the time to drop everything and investigate. Everything that happened after that is on me. I took the email he sent me and called Schreiner, who corroborated it. Then I called Korrine, who did likewise, and even went the added step of checking her out and finding her online resume. I also called Adams County Sheriff's PIO, but it was a Sunday so I left a voice mail. Finding the Fox report which also fit in with the information I'd been given seemed to be the clincher.

I can look back in hindsight and think of questions I could have asked that might have given me pause, but this whole thing is just so bizarre, the concocted story is so elaborate, and the person behind it is just so ... unique ... that it falls outside the scope of normal human experience.

I "fell" for it for all the reasons listed. Kopel passed it on because he got it from a respected activist and NRA director who had been asked by show management to get to the bottom of the floor buzz. Schreiner in turn got it from a person representing herself as an attorney who was brought to the show by a respected and long-standing collector, so there was an assumption of credibility that I believe is something decent people afford each other unless they have reason to suspect otherwise.

Settling Accounts

"We took it into account that he saved this boy’s life..." [More]

And we take into account that the "Only Ones" didn't.

I find Kurt to be one of the most interesting and right-headed voices out there and nobody gets under CSGV's skin quite like he does.  I think more people ought to read his stuff.

The fact that more don't is a direct reflection on the gun owners who regularly do, and then won't take a moment to share his links and help him gain wider recognition.

Why that is I will never understand, but I gotta tell you, the man is putting out a unique product, it takes him hours of research and promotion each day in addition to writing his articles, and I don't think it's too much to ask his regular readers to send some page views his way, which is how the pay over there is decided.

If you get value from his work, think of it as settling an account.

And don't even bother to bellyache about the Examiner experience.

This Day in History: May 23

We have had various reports of the Enemies movements in Virginia since you wrote, but nothing certain. In this quarter Camden, and the Fort at Nelson's ferry have been evacuated; and fort Watson, Motte, Orangeburg, and Granby taken. The Prisoners who fell into our hands at the several Posts amount to 7 or 800 regulars and irregulars, and fifty odd Officers. Ninety Six and Augusta are beseiged, and I am in hopes will fall into our hands. [More]
