Precinct Project provides blueprint to ‘take back Republican Party’

The Liberty Prize will help Dan Schultz continue pursuing a quest he has persisted on, at times all alone. This new recognition will help build awareness so others can discover the remarkable blueprint he has created for those aspiring to “the most powerful office in the world,” complete with step-by-step instructions, links to “How to guides and information by state,” videos and more.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report presents a novel alternative to complaining.  It's called getting involved and working.

Meanwhile, Over in the Constitution-Free Zone

Yeah, that Constitution-Free Zone. [More]

Just What IS Victoria's Secret?

In the interests of supporting a woman's right to choose, here are your choices, ladies, at least as far as your unmentionables go:

This.

Or this.

Why not dress for success?

UPDATE:
The link I included goes to the "rape-proof underwear" story, the second link above.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did the sign also say "No Knives"? [More]

Physician, Heal Thyself

Organized medicine’s decades-long campaign to have firearm-related fatalities considered as a public health rather than a criminal justice issue is not evidence-based. Its reliance on weak, even tainted evidence and spurious reasoning, and its attempts to suppress or discredit contrary evidence, is consistent with a political agenda of incremental civilian disarmament.

I wonder if Nature will issue a more complete correction this time...

If Only We Banned Guns

Tastes Like...Victory!

That's quick thinking. [More]

I hope he chipped some teeth.

Campus Shooters

To the best of my knowledge, the only time the Garand was used in a domestic school shooting was when it was a service weapon deployed in the hands of the Ohio National Guard. [More]
Ah, see? It's happened!

My Flip-Flop

I just signed my support to this.

Now I'm having second thoughts.

Maybe we want them tied up over there...

Meanwhile, Over at the Vidkun Quisling Fan Club

NSSF continues to urge lawmakers and regulators alike to remember that there is a bipartisan solution advanced by the gun industry — strengthening our current background check system ... NSSF has committed itself to FixNICS.  And we’re not alone – even Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns actually agrees with us. [More]
How telling. With friends like these...

So much for:
WE WON’T STAND FOR SCAPEGOATING
NO NEW GUN LAWS
DENY SUCCESS TO MASS MURDERERS BY ABOLISHING PHONY ‘GUN-FREE’ VICTIM / KILLER ENABLING ZONES NOW
WORK WITH US OR WE WILL WORK TO RETIRE YOU
There has been a "leadership" contingent eager since Day One after Newtown to come up with a sacrificial goat to give to government. We also saw an under-the-bus candidate search by manufacturers who have traditionally been eager to protect their interests and the hell with everyone else's. These are the ones apologists would have us keep quiet about when they urge us that we need to stand together -- as if the divisiveness is coming from the SNBI crowd. I'm sure Fairfax would have caved by now if not for our rude, strident voices...

It's simple. You don't throw a scrap of flesh to circling jackals and think they'll go away. You don't give the enemy a beachhead from which they can launch their next assault deeper into the interior. And while Polyphemus may have promised to eat you last, eat you he most certainly will, particularly after you've served up the ones hardening a sharpened pole in the fire...

And the Crowd Went Wild

Kuzawa expressed his opinion on why guns should be allowed on city property, but Sharon Fairchild-Soucy, vice-president of Council, responded that she did not feel safe in a city that allows guns.

“I want my grandson to grow up in a town where guns are not necessary, and I think I have the right to live in a protected environment where guns are not a factor,” she said to a round of applause. [More]
Oberlin is one of those "progressive" college-dominated towns.  They take pride in being an Underground Railroad stop, and even in being known as"the town that started the Civil War."

There are plenty of photos of a plaque commemorating that, but for some reason it's difficult to find any of its reverse side, that says:
In 1859, Oberlin's African American lawyer and activist, John Mercer Langston recruited two of the town's prominent young men of color, John A. Copeland and Lewis Sheridan Leary into John Brown's band of twenty-one raiders. They attacked the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Leary was killed during the unsuccessful attempt to bring about emancipation through a slave insurrection. Before his hanging in Charleston, Virginia on December 19, 1859, Copeland wrote to his family in Oberlin: "how dear brother could I die for a more noble cause?" Oberlinites memorialized these two martyrs and co-conspirator, Shields Green, with the only monument erected for any of the five African Americans who fought with John Brown. The monument stands in Oberlin's Martin Luther King Park. 
I wonder if ol' Sharon would have approved of these ...uh... insurrectionists fighting the violence monopoly for freedom -- with guns.  I suppose I could always ask her -- if I gave a damn about this bleating ungulate's opinion.

Not an Option

“States are required to take effective measures to review governmental, national and local policies, and to amend, rescind or nullify any laws and regulations which have the effect of creating or perpetuating racial discrimination wherever it exists,” said the Special Rapporteur on racism, Mutuma Ruteere. [More]
Mutuma Ruteere. How many divisions has he got?

Hey, isn't that the same guy who emailed me about transferring $25,000,000 from his late finance minister father's account?  Oh, wait, I was supposed to keep quiet about that.

Good for Them

Nice to see NRA proactively recognizing that their "single issue" is affected by others. [More]

An amicus brief is appropriate here. What also would be appropriate is a bill to prevent and/or defund this, with the understanding that NRA grades would be affected.

And it would also be appropriate to  extend that to other "tangential" issues.

UPDATE: Workman has more.

The Return of Captain Freedom

The legislation from Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood, expands the state's gun-storage law to those who know or should know they are living with someone who is not allowed to possess a firearm. [More]
All together now:

Thank you, Captain Freedom!

Playing Chicken

"He hath sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people..." [More]

Ah, more Intolerable Acts being tolerated, I see. For now.

Y'know, one of these days, these thrill-seeking punks are going to run into a driver who refuses to swerve.  Maybe one of those men with nothing left to lose.

This Day in History: September 5

On September 5, 1781, a French fleet of twenty-four ships of the line engaged a British fleet of nineteen ships of the line in the Battle off the Virginia Capes. The French fleet prevented the British fleet from relieving the besieged army of Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis, 2d Earl Cornwallis, at Yorktown, Virginia, leading to the eventual surrender of some 7,000 British troops to the combined American and French arms.
