Much of the government’s protestations read more like hurt feelings, accusing Ares of “lulling“ them with pledges of cooperation while then having the nerve to seek counsel to protect company and customer interests. The people doing the raid, seizing property and data, and smashing things with sledgehammers are portraying themselves as victims here. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if some people can't get sympathy, they'll settle for complete surrender, coerced obedience and utter destruction.

Point of order in re framing terms: Nullification is what tyrants do to freedom. Consider this reclamation, but only to a point. I still see all kinds of infringements they will accept.

Suppressor Bill Update
From Iowa Firearms Coalition:
Just a quick update on HF 2381, as of Friday the bill failed to be brought out of sub-committee and to the Senate Judiciary committee for a vote. This lack of action has killed the bill and it will not be brought up on the Senate floor for a vote as we had hoped.

Vanderboegh in for Scheduled Surgery
Hold off on comments and emails until further notice. [More]
Seriously -- most have no idea how much extra effort it takes to deal with those, and that's the one thing Mike doesn't need right now.
You know what he does need, aside from prayers.
You know you know.
UPDATE: Mike called. He's out of surgery, will be discharged soon, and expects to post something later today.

So name him or her. Forget "EPA" and "they." We need to know precisely "who." And "where."
It's past time for personal accountability for petty acts of bureaucratic tyranny.

Dora the Explorer
Commissioner Dora Schriro denied rumors DESPP is confiscating weapons. [More]Why not, Dora? Isn't it "the law"? And hasn't your boss Malloy declared victory?
So what's stopping you?
Why not drag Joe Peterson out of hiding and let him start kicking in doors?
Still, Dora, the thought strikes: Why should we believe you, when no less than a federal judge is on record saying you can't even be trusted under oath?
The "quality" of people who say WE can't be trusted with guns tells me all I need to know.
UPDATE: Anthony Martin takes on Dora.
