Opportunities abound for New Year's gun rights resolutions
What ISN'T Reported
The above screenshot represents emails from TSA about "recovered" firearms collected and compiled by an observant citizen/WarOnGuns Correspondent:
A casual review of TSA-reported violations shows an average of 37 loaded firearms found across the country screened and stopped by security - that from May 23 - Dec 26 2014.
If one believes the reported failure rate of TSA screening or, say even a much-less 10% fail-rate, then one would have to assume that a loaded weapon makes it into the passenger compartment of an aircraft once a day/365.
With 365 days of chance you'd think there would be CATASTROPHE in travel. Yet we know most of the seizures are accidental in nature (non-excusable) and that the ones that make it through to destination are oft times discovered in-route and reported by the passenger later upon arrival.
Because of the LACK OF CATASTROPHE, one HAS to come to the conclusion that these are honest mistakes by honest (white-hat) travellers -- despite what the boogie man infers.The numbers on all counts may be even greater: This TSA Blog post from August shows "38 Firearms Discovered This Week (32 Loaded)." And while TSA contests reported failure percentages, the point is even more taken.

Yale gun prohibitionist shows ‘highly developed’ aversion to inconvenient truths

Captain's Log
About that first one -- In general, and admitting I don't know the specifics, I can't say that would be my first reaction. My armchair gut instinct, if I really thought it was truly my business and an intervention was needed, would be to call over and make it known I was acting as a witness and calling the police before escalating everything to the tripwire level. Maybe I'm being naive here, and perhaps the situation truly warranted such a forceful response, and maybe my aversion to making a gun the first resort instead of the last will be something I or my family would come to regret...
The Content of His Character
A south suburban man who, according to prosecutors, posted on Facebook earlier this month that he wanted to “kill as many cops and unarmed white kids as possible” and kept a makeshift shooting range in his basement was ordered held in lieu of no bail in Cook County court on Saturday. [More]But there's a wrinkle:
But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community ... "He was speaking his mind," Beatrice Franklin told the station.See, he was "outraged." And I'm sure commensurate understanding would be extended if a white person posted about killing "as many ... unarmed black kids as possible."
Even if the gun is hers, the fingerprints of a "prohibited person" on it would make for a case. Thing is, if we're going to have consistent justice and not prove out the "progressive" charge of racism in selective prosecutions, isn't there someone else who's left plenty of evidence of gun-handling while under "disability"?

It makes sense, if you think about it, to not offend people in their own home, and to be sensitive to customs and mores that may be unfamiliar or alien to us but are natural and simply good manners to the culture in which we place ourselves.

DeWine reverses decision to ignore improved law enforcement training
It is admittedly unknown if such training, had it been seriously adopted and conducted, would have mattered in the Crawford and Rice cases, or if the specific circumstances leading to their shootings would have shown Ohio law regarding openly carrying arms to be irrelevant. Would it have made a difference if DeWine (and Cordray and Rogers before him) had acted on the documented warnings? That is a question for attorneys for family survivors to pursue, and if they do, it will be up to courts to decide. [More]Today's Gun Rights examiner report notes another reversal from a guy who seems to specialize in them whenever they're the political thing to do. Noting the truism about "progressives" and Opposite Day, is it any wonder the Brady Campaign praised this fraud as a "principled statesman" -- until he figured out which side the votes were on?
Sorry, No
The plan was to repeat the failed "Operation Wide Receiver" under Bush that had actual real tracking devices installed in the weapons, and was shut down when the bad guys discovered them and removed them. But obama and holder conspired to do the same WITHOUT tracking devices to lay the blame on the American gun owners as being a bunch of illegal gun runners to Mexico and use that as an excuse for more restrictive gun laws or outright registration and confiscation. That is why obama claimed EP to hide the truth that he ordered holder to run the gun running scheme. They are still hiding the truth and we may never get the "smoking gun" (pun intended) that would convict the both of them. [More]I don't know where you're getting your information from, but much of it simply ain’t so. I have written many times about Wide Receiver and Mike Detty, the CI who was at the heart of the operation, which a search will bear out. Direct quotes from Mike: “While there were a couple times during Wide Receiver that tracking devices were placed on cars there was not a single weapon that was outfitted with any kind of tracking instrument.” [AND] “It had nothing to do with Bush or even DOJ...”
I wish I knew how this stuff got started, and why the truth is so hard to get out there -- no doubt because "legitimate news media" has no interest in using their megaphone to do so on certain topics.

Worse than an Embarrassment
“All I can say is Mike Lee is an embarrassment to the state of Utah,” Huntsman said in an interview, calling Lee “an extremist” for his role in the government shutdown fight... [More]And all I can say is, Jon Huntsman is a dangerous establishment traitor, selling out his country to foreign nationals.

Daily Mail Fast and Furious report repeats unsubstantiated claim
How one ‘devises’ a program that completely omits the part where weapons are followed from gun stores to cartel leaders, and then expects any other result, is left unexplored by Mail Online and other "legitimate news media” apologists. How anyone can track guns without even attempting to, or botch a sting that has no mark, are questions those who spread such excuses never try to answer. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that, if by "track" you mean order agents to allow guns to fall into the hands of criminal cartels and make no attempt to follow, and then rely on finding them again next to dead bodies so you can point a finger and demand new gun bans, then yeah, that tracks with what the administration did. It's the wrong track, of course, but "real reporters" have a narrative to maintain.
A Different Set of Rules
So which is it? If they are not guilty, then I am not guilty. If Eric Holder is innocent in the present circumstance then so was Rush Limbaugh and the militia movement at the time of Oklahoma City. It is one or the other. If I am guilty then they are guilty. Or not. Pick one, you lying collectivist bastards, and own it. [More]Thing is, Prozis know exactly what they're doing. Still, this will prove useful at throwing their intentional lies back in their faces, not for them, but for any fair-minded readers who might otherwise be swayed.
"Common Sense Gun Safety"
[Watch]
Yeah kids, after all the brainwashing, be inspired to steal from your parents, turn them into the state for violation of "safe storage" laws, and handle and transport a firearm when you have no idea how to do it safely! Just remember: With "progressives, every day is Opposite Day!The little proto-kapo is identified in the end credits, and it turns out he's also proudly in another "Stop Gun Violence" film project -- oh, wait...
And "North Oakland Community Charter School"...? All CA gun laws were observed?
UPDATE OBSERVATIONS:
- Gun handling by an untrained person? Check.
- Finger in trigger guard? Check.
- Pointing muzzle at teacher? Check.
- Minor in possession of a gun without adult consent/supervision? Check.
- Concealed carry without a permit? Check.
- Violation of CA "gun free" school campus laws? Check.
- Theft? Check.
- Yeah, you're right, Rejina: You're just the person to lecture us on "common sense gun safety" laws. Just like the kind your native India imposed to enable the Mumbai massacre
UPDATE 2: Workman weighs in.

Kapos for Kristallnacht
The unvarnished truth is, those Jews who abet a state monopoly of violence, and are demanding the same edicts that gave the “legal” pretext for sending Alfred Flatow to his brutal doom, are acting in much the same way as kapos, Jewish functionaries who assisted Nazi camp guards in the persecution of their people. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes the "bagel brains" deserve to be deeply offended, and often, and by someone who knows how.
Koch money and GOP access may discourage pairing amnesty with gun rights
NRA has avoided the issue. There have been excuses from apologists, arguing unconvincingly that allowing millions of new anti-gun voters into the mix is not part of the “single issue” mission of the association, or that somehow, the newly naturalized will discover “pro-gun” principles. The problem with that is the first premise is demonstrably wrong, and the second is based on wholly on wishful thinking, never fleshed out with more than unsubstantiated opinion. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks NRA to explain reasons that others can independently validate for not alerting Americans to a huge, building threat against RKBA.
We're the Only Ones B!+ch-Slapping Enough
"You go right ahead, but a man can't hit you in public here? Bullshit! You act like a whore, you get treated like one!" [More]And guess who the arbiter of deciding that is?

Shew v Malloy Update
In short, our legal team clearly came out on top in this phase of the case. That does not mean that we will get a favorable decision however. Intellectual honesty on the part of the panel of judges is key at this point in order to win at this level. [More]CCDL recounts appellate court oral arguments.
I love the fact that state attorneys were refuted using the Stevens dissent in Heller. I do hope the point is made that "in common use at the time" meant by the military, as was argued in the Miller ruling.

Stop the Threat - "Knockout"
From American Trigger Sports Network:
The "Knockout" game is pushed by the press around the country. Variations and implementation of new devices capture the attention of viewers. To stem the flood of copy cats and end the game, many more citizens have chosen to arm themselves. In this reenactment, the lesson is dealt swiftly and harshly.

International "Smart Gun" Symposium
They ought to get some cop union reps there, and ask them if they favor mandates for their members. [More]
If I had the resources and the contacts to make it happen, I'd do a survey of the rank and file across multiple departments to get percentages of those who would favor such a requirement. If any political law enforcement honchos are there, I'd publicly put the question to them.
