Negligent Gun Fatality Brings Out the ‘Progressive’ Hate
Not that this will make any impression on the LMAO haters reveling in a human death because they suspected she held a different creed or place in the social spectrum than they. How telling that such bigotry and intolerance should emanate from an ideology that represents itself as inclusive and egalitarian.
Opposite Day, remember? [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes the biggest haters of officially disfavored groups are...wait for it... national socialists.
‘Progressives’ with environmental objections to guns silent on amnesty impacts
The reason for the injunction was that an environmental impact study for the effects of allowing guns in national parks had not been completed as required by law ... How much more of an impact will the president’s immigration directives have on the environment than the off-chance a person defending their life may (or may not) need to fire off rounds of ammunition that may (or may not) leave traces within national park boundaries? If the law and judicial precedent for halting executive actions on environmental grounds pending an impact study exist, why not employ the same legal tactics as anti-gunners and environmentalcases do, and use them? [More]Today's Gun Right Examiner report notes now that judicial precedent has been established, why not use tactics first pulled by the collectivists to attack freedom against them?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise
After government warnings that the threat to Britain from Islamist fanatics is ‘greater than ever’, officers handed out leaflets telling the public to ‘run, hide and tell’ if they are caught up in an attack. [More]Provided, I guess, you can run fast enough or hide well enough to live to tell.
So have they cleared those leaflets with the cultural sensitivity bureaucrats to make sue no group is offended?

The unidentified suspect was described as white male in his 50s with a criminal record.Oh, well then he likely fits the profile of everyone I hang with, so the preliminary narrative-shaping is likely justified...
On a side note, the results of starting a firefight in front of a place where people are likely to be armed don't seem all that unlikely.

Freedom is Slavery
Barack Obama is not merely the president of the United States.

We're the Only Ones Bananas Enough
According to an arrest affidavit, Mesa County deputies Joshua Bunch and Donald Love said they feared for their lives even though they saw that the object was yellow. Bunch wrote in the affidavit that he has seen handguns in many shapes and colors. [More]Bunch and bananas? And the guy was from Fruitvale?

The Right of ALL People
One, a 6-foot-8-inches man named Derrick Jordan — “Stretch,” as friends call him — whisked an AR-15 assault rifle out from a pickup truck parked near the entrance. Jordan, 37, was one of four black Ferguson residents who spent Tuesday night planted in front of the store, pistols tucked into their waistbands, waiting to ward off looters or catch shoplifters. Jordan and the others guarding the gas station are all black. The station’s owner is white. [More]As long as brothers from the same and different mothers share an ideology, sharing DNA is irrelevant.
And it seems to me Stretch whisked an AR-15 defense rifle, not that I expect "real reporters" to be sensitive to the distinction.
But Don't Take MY Word for It
In their own words: Oregon anti gun politicians and activists admit that "universal background checks", "assault weapons" ban, and "gun free zones" won't work! [More from LaughingAtLiberals]
The Kill Switch
Echoing an attitude shared by many gun enthusiasts, David Codrea, an editor at Guns magazine, cautions that “stupid electronic doodads” could render a firearm useless, would be ignored by criminals and would raise the price of firearms for everyone else. [More]I just became aware of this article from a year ago, but yeah, I said that.
The Doorman
Ross Bransford, a CHL instructor, says he anticipates open carry passing, but wants the law to include doing so with a permit and training. [More]Don't forget to give the doorman a tip for his "service."
A Well Neglected Militia, Being Necessary to the Destruction of a Free State
“Gun controllers’” recondite but real intent is to render the formation of “well regulated Militia” in the several States exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, by denying the community the collective right to keep and bear the very firearms particularly suitable for service in the Militia, through the denial to individuals of the right to keep and bear such arms—thus stripping the community of the collective ability to defend itself most effectively against usurpers and tyrants. [More]And guess who has been consistently derelict in even addressing this, let alone doing anything about it.
Coincidentally, from just a week back:
Might there be a reason the founders considered a well regulated militia to be necessary to the security of a free State, leaving the right of the people to keep and bear arms off limits to infringements, so that when a need arose there would be those capable of answering the call? Rather than disparaging and harassing armed Americans, shouldn't dutiful civil authority, upholding the oath to the Constitution that is required of its members, be encouraging them and training with them?

The Slippery Precipice
In his latest JPFO Alert, Kurt takes on a bow-tied Bolshevik who did us the great service of not being able to contain himself enough to keep from revealing the end game. [More]
Obama compares pardoning turkeys to executive order on immigration
“Today, I’m taking an action fully within my legal authority,” the president remarked in a seeming mocking dig at critics of his policy of allowing federal law to be flouted and rewarding those who break it. “I know some will call this amnesty, but don’t worry, there’s plenty of turkey to go around.” [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report questions who should feel more disrespected: Americans who oppose imperial decrees and amnesty, or undocumented foreign nationals who were compared as the equivalents of turkeys.
Turnabout seen as fair play for publishing Ferguson Officer Wilson's home street
It’s obvious the practice of providing physical addresses of people for whom anger exists can heighten physical dangers. Real risks also exist that persons with the same or similar names could be targeted instead. Likewise, the lives and homes of neighbors of Officer Wilson have now been put at risk by The Times' decision to narrow the hunt for him by those bent on murderous revenge, upping the probabilities for expanded violence and further rage-fueled confrontations with authorities. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some sauce for the gander, or in deference to tomorrow's holiday, a pair of turkeys.

Más Kool-Aid Por Favor!
I've had a link forwarded to me which, on the surface and without closer examination, would seem to contradict my Scott Walker report:
Did they take him out of context?
Yes, Fletcher? You had something to add...?
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon for the Sirius XM Patriots network, Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker said he does not support amnesty and the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake, who previously reported Walker supports a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants took him “out of context.” [More]How about the Wasau Daily Herald?

The bill would require a person who, between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2013, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, and who, on or after January 1, 2014, possesses that firearm, to register the firearm by July 1, 2015.

If most gun owners don't give a damn, and based on the sorry mess we're in, most don't, nothing will change.
Most aren't even aware that the "extremist gun lobby" is training their oppressors. How many have called for that to end in confiscation states, with consequences if it doesn't?
When this all blows up on us, and when you are forced to make the "surrender and obey or be destroyed" decision, with unimaginable hardship, loss and desperation visited on those who opt for the first choice, reserve a little blame for those who would not lift a finger now.

We're the Only Ones Punchy Enough
What did I just get done saying about getting punchy, fellas, and what that can do to someone? Some of you, including those who tolerate, not just those who commit, sure make it tough to call for understanding when it's appropriate.FOX31 Denver has obtained video of a Denver police officer punching an unarmed suspect in the face six times, then moments later, tripping the man’s seven-and-a-half-months pregnant girlfriend.

The Myth of the Unarmed Man
If you don't believe media bias plays a role in how Americans interpret use of force by law enforcement, try this simple test. Do a Google search for "police officer kills unarmed man." I did and I got 179,000 results. Searching "Police officer shoots unarmed man" returned 205,000 results. Finally, I flipped the search around and typed, "unarmed man attacks police officer." I got this message: "No results found." [More]Make sure you put the terms in quotation marks.
Here's another useful search to corroborate the justification for not allowing yourself to be attacked: "killed by punch".
The good thing about guns, as many who have been through a DGU can attest, is their presentation is often enough to make a potential attacker reconsider so the situation is resolved without coming to blows or worse. That's a good thing.
If an assailant will not allow that to happen, well, I have this saying. I'm not going to let some moron sociopath put my life and/or health at risk if I can stop him instead, using whatever means at my disposal to get the job done.
Whatever means. My experienced friend will attest to that.
You'll note no "Only Ones" title for this post. Just as I don't support police having special immunities withheld from We the People, I don't expect them, as individual human beings first, to have any fewer.

The Second Rebellion
Congress in its entirely was slaughtered, and hung upside-down from lamp posts though, unlike Mussolini, they were not emasculated. It was pretty much agreed that they had taken care of this themselves long ago. [More]He probably meant to say "entirety," but the guy is suffering from a quack-induced eye malady and if a word processor assumes how to complete a word and if the result isn't flagged by spell check, typos happen.
Bottom line is, as always, a great ree... uh... read. And "Clitler" is a keeper for future application.
This Day in History: November 25
It gives me great pleasure to learn from yourself, that the State over which you preside is tranquil.—Would to God it may ever remain so, and that all others would follow the example. Internal dissentions, and jarrings with our neighbors, are not only productive of mischievous consequences, as it respects ourselves, but has a tendency to lessen our national character, and importance in the eyes of European powers. If any thing can, this will expose us to their intriguing politics, and may shake the Union. [More]

Capping Things Off
In this case, sorry, Mike, as laudable as I find your Threeperwear ballcap fundraiser to be -- and trust me, if you go through with it I'll do what I can to promote it -- I do have a better idea.
Why don't your regular readers -- those who get daily benefit from your work and who know what you need to go through physically, mentally, spiritually and financially to bring it to them -- just send you a voluntary subscription (note I didn't say "donation," because it's payment for value received) of a buck or two a month, either via Paypal, or by check for those who avoid doing anything because they don't like Paypal (but still mostly purchase internet services from overtly anti-gun providers). I mean it's not like people who know your site are unaware that in the right-hand sidebar column, you've given out "PO Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126" since, like, forever.
You, "Irregulars," -- especially those of you who use the forum Mike's work provides to post comments, or those of you who send him links hoping he'll write about them and impart insights you know you won't get anywhere else: Wouldn't that be better for him, for us, and for you, personally, than pulling him off of what he's doing that's meaningful, and further exhausting a man with well-known serious health issues by requiring him to be a purchasing / receiving / store room / packaging / shipping / customer service clerk, particularity one who then will have to deal with complaints / issue refunds if a shipment doesn't make it for whatever reason?
As for suggestions that he should do ads, as one who has tried them, let me say from experience that does not work, and your helpful hint doesn't substitute for a personal commitment not to take without giving back.
I frankly don't get it. So many "Molon Labe" comments. So few lifting a finger to do the easy stuff.
For those of you who might take offense to this post: Obviously I'm not talking about those of you who actually do constructive things for freedom, even small things if that's all you can do -- I'm grateful to people who put their shoulder to the wheel. And I also am not talking about those who truly cannot afford to help-- providing that's actually true and you at least help spread the word. I'm talking about the do-absolutely-nothing crowd.
UPDATE: Can we get them in different colors? Test variations? No text? Good God.

The Ignorance, It Burns
Comment posted under yesterday's GRE:
I wish I had time to properly fisk this -- first impressions will have to do.
With the power grid down, getting troops to mobilize -- and do so in any semblance of a timely manner -- becomes problematic in itself. Plus, there simply aren't enough of them to secure the entire nation -- leaving, as projected, most areas on their own. And under the scenario testified to by Admiral Rogers, foreign dangers requiring manpower are going to be heightened. Then we have the bipolar attitude toward "our sons and daughters" with shoot-to-kill orders, and then alternately citing and then disparaging the Oath Keepers concept.
This person evidently thinks under the martial law situation she describes (stereotyping me, I'm just too old and conditioned to imagine a man using that avatar), she will be free to move about -- where she gets the gas from, or how she safely navigates L.A. without a car, remain unstated, but fortunately, she won't need her shotgun to get there and back again. It's not like scary rampaging mobs have ever paralyzed the city and terrorized and victimized targets of opportunity before. I guess she doesn't remember last time, although -- again, stereotyping me -- you would think someone from there who adopts a Korean screen name would at least have heard the stories that youth and/or privilege appear not to have heeded...
Note she's assuming triage centers will be eager to accept -- and feed and house-- "volunteers" of unstated qualifications. Thank God you're here -- we need this coffee pot and cookie tray for the firemen filled up stat! More likely, we'll be talking about setting up a tent city within the Coliseum or some such, a la the hell that was the Superdome in Katrina, with no way to supply the refugees, or remove the stinking waste, or treat the injuries, or the disease -- and good luck deciding you don't like it and wish to leave. First of all, where to?
Also note the automatic "progressive" distrust and paranoia in that "fair play turnabout": The question I posed asked if anti-gunners would maintain that position or engage in the LAWFUL activity of defending themselves and their loved ones. She automatically presumes it is conservative/libertarian gun owners who will turn into predators -- as we no doubt have in every riot situation I can recall, from Watts to Katrina. No "progressive" projection there.
The things such people need to believe. Now seems a pretty good time to reintroduce readers here to a three-part essay I've linked to before.
To restate something I've said before: I don't highlight trolls on occasion to feed them -- I do it because their own words do more to expose them than mine can.
With the power grid down, getting troops to mobilize -- and do so in any semblance of a timely manner -- becomes problematic in itself. Plus, there simply aren't enough of them to secure the entire nation -- leaving, as projected, most areas on their own. And under the scenario testified to by Admiral Rogers, foreign dangers requiring manpower are going to be heightened. Then we have the bipolar attitude toward "our sons and daughters" with shoot-to-kill orders, and then alternately citing and then disparaging the Oath Keepers concept.
This person evidently thinks under the martial law situation she describes (stereotyping me, I'm just too old and conditioned to imagine a man using that avatar), she will be free to move about -- where she gets the gas from, or how she safely navigates L.A. without a car, remain unstated, but fortunately, she won't need her shotgun to get there and back again. It's not like scary rampaging mobs have ever paralyzed the city and terrorized and victimized targets of opportunity before. I guess she doesn't remember last time, although -- again, stereotyping me -- you would think someone from there who adopts a Korean screen name would at least have heard the stories that youth and/or privilege appear not to have heeded...
Note she's assuming triage centers will be eager to accept -- and feed and house-- "volunteers" of unstated qualifications. Thank God you're here -- we need this coffee pot and cookie tray for the firemen filled up stat! More likely, we'll be talking about setting up a tent city within the Coliseum or some such, a la the hell that was the Superdome in Katrina, with no way to supply the refugees, or remove the stinking waste, or treat the injuries, or the disease -- and good luck deciding you don't like it and wish to leave. First of all, where to?
Also note the automatic "progressive" distrust and paranoia in that "fair play turnabout": The question I posed asked if anti-gunners would maintain that position or engage in the LAWFUL activity of defending themselves and their loved ones. She automatically presumes it is conservative/libertarian gun owners who will turn into predators -- as we no doubt have in every riot situation I can recall, from Watts to Katrina. No "progressive" projection there.

Painful to Watch
You guys are not doing yourselves -- or anyone else besides those who ridicule you -- any favors. And careful where you point that thing. [More]
And yes, of course there's such a thing as bad press. You just facilitated some. And no hearts and minds were changed.

China power grid attack would allow anti-gunners to demonstrate convictions
Will those who advocate citizen disarmament change their tune when it is their lives, their family and their property on the line? Will they still reject the need for guns in the home? Will they change their mind on concealed or open carrying? Will any resort to keeping and bearing “assault weapons”? Will they respect “gun free zone” signs ordering them to disarm? Will they insist on background checks before engaging in any firearm transfers? How will they license and register guns (where “required”) if authorities are preoccupied fighting literal and figurative fires? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes brutal reality has a way of stomping some real "gunsense" into survivors. Too bad (for them) so many will dismiss that with ridicule and contempt.

One for the Books
When someone with a gun a gun walked into Strozier Library this morning, presenting an imminent threat to the lives of students studying at Mr. Halbrook’s alma mater, his book provided the philosophical and legal frameworks for the right of those students and library employees to defend themselves, but provided no physical defense. [More]The librarian couldn't "Shush" him?
I don't suppose the "No Guns" policy helped much, either.

If you will stand by me—and I believe you will do it, for your freedom and honor are involved as well as mine—it requires no microscope to see that—I say if you will stand with us in resistance to this measure, you will be the saviors of your country.

Key issues report and Giuliani endorsement add to gun owner concerns with Lynch
As for actions on guns, determining Lynch’s sympathies is indirect, but nonetheless not too hard to divine. She supported anti-gun Hillary Clinton, and then anti-gun Obama in their bids for political power. Earlier, she had supported David Dinkins for Mayor of New York, helping enable his lookalike “assault weapon” ban. And speaking of former Big Apple mayors, Rudy Giuliani, naturally described by “progressive” publications as a “staunch Republican,” gives her a thumbs-up. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the same enablers from last time are getting ready to pull a trick experience has taught them works every time.

A Conservative Approach
Yes, much to the surprise of many flag-wavers, Reagan was an actor. [More]

NFA Forms Undergoing Changes
From FFLGuard, via email:
ATF announced recently that it has revised ATF Form 1 and Form 5, and the new forms were designed to eliminate the need to complete ATF Form 5330.20, Certificate of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B), in addition to the forms themselves. This was accomplished by integrating the information from ATF Form 5330.20 into the ATF Forms. In addition, while the new ATF Form 1 and Form 5 may be used for paper submissions, the original ATF Form 1 and ATF Form 5 eForms are to be used for now. These and other updated eForms are expected to be rolled out as early as the SHOT Show this January. We will keep you posted as new forms are released.
Lies, Damned Lies and Anti-Gun "Statistics"
John Lott addresses the "More Guns/More Crime" lie the antis have dusted off, updated and are presenting as a definitive "new" debunking. [More]
I stipulate statistical analyses have always left my eyes glazed over. I can still recall pulling an all-nighter, reading the same page over and over again in preparation for an economics midterm, frustrated as hell that I may as well have been trying to translate Martian hieroglyphs. I'm sure if I'd been born decades later, I'd have been diagnosed with ADD. If something doesn't interest me, it's indecipherable, and if something does interest me, grasping and retention borders on instantaneous and photographic. Sometimes that can be a blessing, other times not so much.
That said, I'd like to see a chart showing the number of gundupes personally willing to lead confiscation raids, and maybe another one showing the number of gun owners they'd personally like to see broken and/or destroyed.

How to Tell the Difference
Several bills have been introduced to allow 'open carry,' in Texas and Governor-Elect Greg Abbott says he is ready to sign an open carry bill. Meanwhile, the well organized, Bloomberg-funded group 'Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America' says it is prepared to fight Open Carry legislation, saying it will make it a lot tougher for police to tell the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys' on city streets. [More]It's actually pretty easy once you learn to recognize some of the signs, like the bad guys are the ones attacking people.
And there's plenty of evidence, fraudulent protestations of the agenda-driven D. Roger Enriquez and the laziness of the "real reporter" notwithstanding.
