Family needs help to lay slain Walmart hero to rest

His mother, Debra Wilcox, has no money to pay for his funeral. [More]
Please help and help spread the word.

Armed American Radio Special Announcement

I can't be on this Sunday due to a family obligation, but it's going to be a great show where Mark debunks "school shooting" myths--like how many there actually are.

Rather than me tell you about it here, I posted the press release on my Scribed account.

Read it, share it, and make sure you listen to the program.

Obama reveals desire to impose Australia-style gun bans in U.S.

“In Australia, civilians are not allowed to possess automatic and semi-automatic firearms, self-loading and pump action shotguns, handguns with a caliber in excess of .38in with only narrow exemptions, semi-automatic handguns with a barrel length less than 120mm, and revolvers with a barrel length less than 100mm,” the site advises. “In Australia, private possession of fully automatic weapons is prohibited, with only narrow exceptions for permanently inoperable collector's, display, or museum guns. [P]rivate possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and their lookalikes is prohibited in all but exceptional circumstances. [P]rivate possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is only permitted subject to stringent condition.” [More]
G’day, mates. Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report puts another shrimp on the barbie.

Obama's Greatest Frustration

And here I thought it was because no official temple for the mandatory worshiping of him has been built yet. [More]

Good Dog, Carl

The core mission of the Crime Gun Center is to identify these shooters, or these ‘three percenters,’ and the traffickers that sell them guns and get them off our streets,” said Carl Vasilko, ATF Special Agent in Charge. [More]

I want to do a through article on this, including exploring the ties and loyalties this Vasilko character has with BATFU management. Way to conflate publicly-proclaimed civil disobedience actions (of the first guy who was instrumental in getting Fast and Furious noticed) with covert activities of those funneling guns to the Chi-Town underworld.

Unfortunately, I have more on my plate than I have time to deal with, so this will have to do for now.

This is part of a coordinated character assassination/blame apportioning effort that, hand-in-hand with Holder's new task force and renewed insistence on "gun control," is all part of a game plan to "tread on us."

Good dog, Carl.

Hitting Mute

The Wintemute. [More]

Uh-oh.  I hope I don't get accused of making threats again.

Stop the Threat - "Parking Lot Carjacking"

From American Trigger Sports Network:
How many times have you seen someone outside your local store and something about them just didn't seem right? Maybe it was the eye contact, lack thereof, or the way they were working the parking lot. Should you report them or mind your own business?

For Shame!

"President Obama said Tuesday the nation should do 'some soul-searching' over its epidemic of deadly gun violence and 'should be ashamed' it has been unable to address it. [More]
So much for ostensibly gun-friendly "liberals" proposing to #EndGunShaming.

Then again, I've never been ashamed of something we ought to be proud of anyway.

They Got It All Wrong

A husband and wife armed with guns were able to stave off an apparent home invasion Monday night, police said. [More]
Sorry, but no.

Shannon says it #NeverHappens.

Peekaboo!

I see you! [More]

What a stupid f-ing idea.

Help Us Help You

On Monday evening, Gun Owners of America blanketed the district with phone calls to registered voters, hitting Cantor for his recent vote to expand gun control and noting that Brat stands 100% for the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
Yes, and you deserve congratulations and gratitude for that.  Particularly since "the National Rifle Association ... had five-figure independent spending to promote [Cantor]."

By the same token, you had to work against yourself and spend against that "A" grade you still give Cantor, making it problematic for supporters like me to admit -- in private emails with other activists asking for a column -- that "It’s awful tough for me to write an 11th hour GOTV article titled 'Illegal alien invasion accelerates as NRA pick Cantor waves white flag' when the group that called our attention to the gun tie-in does not exact a price for betrayal."

I don't know how many primaries have been ceded because of this disconnect, but going forward, we need to see this issue, that could change the entire landscape in a decade or two, impact grades, particularly those of us who believe in and endorse the superior reliability of those assigned by GOA. That should never be jeopardized because of something as avoidable as inconsistency.

I post this in the spirit of the title.

Mike the Gunkapo

He's at it again, making the case that concealed carry hasn't had a measurable deterrent effect in Newark, or some such, and therefore we shouldn't let you carry a gun. [More]

And this guy demands equal time from me?

It's telling to see the only real attacks on John Lott are all ad hominem.

I wouldn't be surprised to find him in negotiations with Armatix just so he can torpedo those people in New Jersey he acts like he cares so much about and become a hero.  I understand why his shop still has customers, Masshole Fudds and all, but what I don't understand is why any gun or ammo maker would continue to supply him.

And why NRA continues to do so as well.

Using the Tools at Hand

Glad to see someone with the power to actually do something about this is thinking along these lines. [More]

So why hasn't he initiated action already?

This Day in History: June11

On this date in 1782, Col. William Crawford was burned to death by Delaware Indians after being captured leading a punitive expedition to Ohio’s Sandusky River. [More]
