Proposed Illinois gun ban for medical marijuana users points to larger issues

Also unknown is what kind of data-gathering can be done by other federal agencies strictly from monitoring financial transactions, especially if someone uses a credit card to pay for a pot purchase. In this age of NSA spying on everything and the feds having an eye on all banking transactions, it will be interesting to see if that information is collected and then shared between agencies, and if someone using a card at a dispensary subsequently finds his name kicked out on a NICS check.

Let's see, Gungrabiner wouldn't be this public employees union-firster, would he?

And Amato? Would he be the same one who publicly admitted he was in possession of "illegal" magazines?  Say, isn't there an 800-number snitch line for that?

I can't find much on Clulow and Leyonmark, but I wouldn't be surprised if pinko sympathies run deep.

Funny thing about such Average Joes and proud defenders of the Second Amendment...

"Peculiar" funny, not "ha ha" funny...

If I had a gun store or a range, there'd be a litmus test imposed.

I can't wait until they mix up mental health and other disqualifying records...

Oh, I don't have to wait...?

And the Real Question is...

...will they follow Ronnie Barrett's example as far as government entities go? [More]

I haven't seen Ruger clarify that, either.

Or these guys.

If not, who are they punishing?

UPDATE: Workman weighs in on that and more.

Academic Bias

Lee Foullon's protest against it was published in UC Davis Magazine (see "Hostile". [More]

This is the article he was responding to. I see it repeats the allegation that "Wintemute himself was repeatedly harassed and threatened."

At least it doesn't repeat the "Wanted Poster" lie promulgated by Slate, or accuse me of outing the guy, like Nature did, before they published a half-@$$ed "correction" that left out most of their "errors."

I repeat my question:  If Wintemute has truly been threatened (and I mean real threats, not what The New York Times says "poured in" against Dick Metcalf and has since refused to substantiate), were police reports filed?

Today's Five Minute Activism: A Poison Pill

In the spirit of VLLA SELLA IN PUGNA IN TABERNA *, put aside animosity toward Rubio on other disappointments and join him in this. [More]

As per my consistent practice, I never ask anything of you I don't do myself:

And if your senators are anti-gun and writing to them is pointless, pick one in another state. Yeah, I know, Sherrod Brown was included on mine, but so was Rob Portman, who has a "B" from GOA (and naturally, an "A" from those other guys, so it's time for him to continue earning it--if NRA even acknowledged this being part of their "single issue").

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Constitutional" Is

For instance, can I carry an unregistered NFA weapon, and will stupid/evil "gun free zones" be eliminated...? [More]

If This Be Anarchy...

Taking the "logic" of the antis to a consistent end means we all need to be straitjacketed to the wall because we might do harm.  At least all of us who aren't "progressives."
