The Story Keeps Getting Stranger
Remember that column where it looked like ATF was expanding the multiple rifle sale reporting rule?
While doubts were raised despite ATF not specifying the four border states of where their proposal would be applicable, a new difference has been identified, Kurt Hofmann tells me, by activist Chris Meissen, who "caught an interesting aspect of the ATF's proposed new power grab that no one else seems to be talking about.
"Check out the wording," Kurt advised:
Yeah, I have no idea if this is just sloppiness or if it means more, but if this goes through unchallenged, it will have the effect of an enforceable rule. And by way of "then and now" comparison, here's what the proposed rule looked like on that point back when it was first proposed:

"Check out the wording," Kurt advised:
The purpose of this information collection is to require Federal Firearms Licensees to report multiple sales or other dispositions whenever the licensee sells or otherwise disposes of two or more rifles within any five consecutive business days with the following characteristics: (1) Semi-automatic; (2) a caliber greater than .22; and (c) the ability to accept a detachable magazine."Nowhere does it say anything about the multiple sales being to the same buyer," he noted. "Conceivably, if this goes through, they'll be authorized to demand reports from every gun dealer who sells two or more detachable magazine-fed semi-auto rifles per week."

We're the Only Ones NOT Ready for War Enough
“It was enough to arm a small army or militia,” a police source said of the bust. “These guys were ready for war.” [More]If these morons actually believe that, wait 'til they come up against the real deal.

Second Amendment Spotlight
I wonder how much money deceptive crap like this "liberates" from the uninformed (who then end up feeling they've done their part) that could have been used for something effective.

"Although they didn't use my entire statement in the story, the reporter was accurate in his assessment of my words and quoted the portion he used accurately," he tells his Facebook followers.
I chatted with him earlier this morning, and we're going to discuss this further Sunday on Armed American Radio. I'll have more on that when I make the program announcement the day of the show.

That and asking the protestors what value they have put into themselves via unique, specialized or rare skills, training and accomplishments to make associating with them at higher wages worth it? What do they do that anyone else couldn't be trained to do in a matter of days?
Workers of the world unite!
Any wonder why the SEIU and NAACP are in on the action?
And anybody think $10.10 is anything more than a camel's nose under the tent, and a ploy to consolidate dependency and power?
Oak Brook? Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town. And we know what that means.
This Day in History: May 22
That something is the matter in the cabinet and councils of our enemies, on the other side of the water, is certain- that they have run their length of madness, and are under the necessity of changing their measures may easily be seen into; but to what this change of measures may amount, or how far it may correspond with our interest, happiness and duty, is yet uncertain; and from what we have hitherto experienced, we have too much reason to suspect them in every thing.
