Another One Bites the Dust
In addition to the first article,* another article was just "unpublished" by the "gatekeepers" at Examiner.com. Here is the excuse they used:
Here is what they don't want you to see:
EIN News features ‘unpublished’ Gun Rights Examiner article
The unexplained removal of an article relevant to readers of this column prevents not only them from seeing it, but also journalists subscribing to the EIN News service, effectively suppressing the information from the public.
Screen shots by D. Codrea
“Embattled Hastert was no friend to gun owners despite ‘A’ rating,” one of the linked headlines in the Saturday EIN Newsdesk alert informed subscribers. The service, maintained by professional editors, provides subject-customized news monitoring and distribution “for journalists and other professionals world-wide who are deeply involved in very specific topics. Our vertical niche publications reach industry leaders and decision makers...”
The problem is, any journalists, industry leaders and decision makers clicking on the link will get an “Uh-oh” 404 message (“Not Found”). That’s because, for reasons not yet explained, on Friday, shortly after the article was published, the story was taken down from Examiner.com by unknown company moderators without explaining the reason behind the decision.
“This article has been unpublished by staff,” a note on the publishing/editing tool advised, something discovered purely by chance after I saw the column had disappeared from the Gun Rights Examiner home page. “Contact support with any questions.”
That was Friday, and despite multiple emails, no answer to the query has yet been received, leading to speculation why this was done in the absence of any “official” word. Whatever it was, it did not trouble the editors at EIN News, who, before it had been taken down without notice, thought the story significant enough to include in their alert to industry professionals. Maybe it’s all a mistake, or maybe there’s a technical reason -- or maybe it’s a matter of some arbitrarily-interpreted “standards” violation, except Examiner has featured one of the potential triggers in numerous headlines, not to mention actively promoted regular columns that are NSFW (by a long “shot,” if you care to risk reading the last paragraph). Since they have not responded to queries to explain why the column was pulled, all that’s left is to guess. Or perhaps all that's needed is for someone with an axe to grind to click on the "Report this content!" link accompanying all articles on this site. Pending a response, which I will make available to readers either here or at The War on Guns blog, the article has been reposted in total on that blog so that readers can see it for themselves.
In the meantime, while all the “real reporters/legitimate news media/Authorized Journalists” are repeating salacious speculations about the unfolding Dennis Hastert scandal, and generally parroting the work of others and rewriting (rewording) stories off the same sheet, none of the journalists are likely to see a dimension to discussions about the former Speaker that no one else is talking about: How he promoted ending all private sales at gun shows and denying handguns to citizens old enough to vote, marry, and enlist in the military, and how he was given an “A” rating by the National Rifle Association after doing so.
That means most news consumers, and most gun owners, for that matter, will never learn of it either. What remains to be seen is if this follow-up article will be allowed, or removed once posted. That will tell much to gun rights advocates looking for uncensored information they’re not getting anywhere else.

"Unpublished" Examiner Article
This is what has been removed from the Examiner.com site. I am posting it here to keep the information from being suppressed. I'm also going to continue tracking down why it was torpedoed in the first place.
Embattled Hastert was no friend to gun owners despite ‘A’ rating
---
Embattled Hastert was no friend to gun owners despite ‘A’ rating
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has been indicted on “one count each of structuring currency transactions to evade currency transaction reports and making a false statement to the FBI,” NBC News reported Friday. Further reports citing “two federal law enforcement officials” suggest the politician-turned lobbyist has been paying hush money to cover up sexual abuse accusations dating back to when he was a high school teacher and wrestling coach.
That the charges come now, when Hillary Clinton’s star is rising amidst allegations of her past improprieties, is perhaps to be expected as a politically smart way to take such focus off the presumptive Democrat front-runner. In any case, it illustrates that the greatest danger to Republicans comes not from principled conservatives criticizing betrayals by party elites, but from those elites’ own actions. It also makes it fair to wonder if anyone else in the leadership is similarly vulnerable and compromised – a theory some have suggested as a potential explanation for a succession of seeming surrenders following last November's political polarity shift.
In any case, gun owners with long memories will shed no tears over Hastert being in the hot seat. Many of us still remember May, 1999, when, per CNN, “House Speaker Dennis Hastert entered the fierce debate on gun control ... saying he favored raising the minimum age for owning a handgun to 21 and requiring background checks for all sales at gun shows.”
It was especially “puzzling” at the time, as “[a]n aide from [then-Senate Majority Leader Trent] Lott's office told CNN that ... the gun control issue is not slated to come up in the House of Representatives anytime soon.”
“Where the hell is it within the Constitutional powers of the federal government to enact any kind of gun control legislation at all?” I asked in an angry open letter response to Hastert. “Where the hell do you get off endorsing a handgun ban for a segment of our population that is old enough to vote, to marry, to parent and to go to war and die protecting your sorry politically opportunistic @$$?”
Adding insult to injury, the following month, Hastert refused to use his position of influence “to ‘whip’ members into a unified party line” on guns, The Los Angeles Times noted. “Hastert has spoken favorably of new gun safety measures since the Littleton, Colo., high school massacre.”
Curiously, even after those betrayals, NRA still gave Hastert an “A” rating. Evidently giving them some of what they wanted, including access to his office, was enough to induce Fairfax to overlook the infringements he favored imposing. In any case, with the triumphant attacks on Republicans that are certain to come (and the “progressive” braying has already predictably started), principled “no compromise” gun owners can at least prove a substantial level of separation from the inevitable guilt-by-association conflation.
UPDATE: Indications are the allegations concern sexual misconduct with a student.

Hey -- maybe allegations of sexual misconduct with a high school student explain why Hastert wanted to keep them disarmed for a few more years -- and maybe they call them RINOs because they're horny...?
UPDATE: WTF? I have an email in. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for this.

A Few Bad Apples
Prosecutorial and police misconduct are often dismissed as just a few bad apples doing a few bad apple-ish things. But what happens when it’s entrenched and systemic and goes unchecked for years? That looks to be the case in Orange County, California, where the situation got so completely out of hand this spring that Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals issued an order disqualifying the entire Orange County District Attorney’s Office (that’s all 250 prosecutors) from continuing to prosecute a major death penalty case. [More]Who thinks this is the only barrel full, and that the same findings could not be reproduced throughout the (former) Republic?
Funny, how "progressive" Slate knows how corrupt everything is, yet still does everything in its power to ensure a monopoly of violence entrusted to the abusers, and to condemn the egalitarian power-sharing afforded by the uninfringed right to keep and bear arms. It's part of that differing "solutions" to the same perceived problem I referred to in the previous post.

Cruz Control?
They were going to call people who signed up for their tele-town hall meeting so gun owners could ask questions of the candidate.

Likewise, Cruz's social media accounts are silent on this.

Neat media trick, though, where they get to paint someone -- in this case, a Mitt Romney cheerleader and friend of Bill Maher -- as being "extreme" on an issue. They do the same thing with NRA, accusing it of being uncompromising, and calling politicians like George Bush and John McCain "right wing conservatives."

If an "angel" did come forward, it would just give the slacktivists more of an excuse to keep doing nothing.

The solution to gun-related crime is not further arming the public. It involves enacting comprehensive gun control laws that prohibit many forms of gun ownership, significantly curtailing or eliminating access to and the ability to purchase guns, and implementing programs in which the government confiscates or purchases illegal guns already in circulation among the public. [More]Oh, look: The guy is into extraterrestrials. I was wondering what planet he lives on.
He has, however, provided us yet another handy link to throw back at anyone using the "No one wants to take your guns" lie.

How Come We're Never Offered "Bans" Like This?
I'd accept my not being subsidized and otherwise being left alone as a "common sense" gun "compromise" I could live with. [More]
Except for the "arming" mandate in Article. 1. Section. 8., but the government has been ignoring that since, like, forever anyway...

The Legacy of PATCON
This was an effort by the FBI to infiltrate so-called Radical Right groups with informants and provocateurs. In a telephone interview, Trentadue told me that he firmly believes that there is a connection between the PATCON-related FBI initiative to arm biker gangs, and the bloodshed in Waco over the weekend. [More]I'll bet voting for the lesser of two evils, and sending pre-written emails or fax blasts to politicians in safe districts will fix all this in no time!

That Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Strong" Is
Rand Paul is too strong on the Second Amendment, according to the NRA [More]Oh, no, that's not it, there just wasn't time!
Yes, Fletcher? You had something to add?
There is one huge bone I have to pick with Paul that in my mind disqualifies him -- and the organization he solicits for, NAGR, which, despite all claims of being hardcore, is conspicuously silent on the matter. Go to their website and find all the leadership examples to prove that wrong.
How the hell can you be "too strong" on 2A if you're setting up conditions for its political evisceration?
Don't argue with me -- argue with the NeoComs, who know exactly what they're doing.

Murdered executive supported ‘gun control’-backing politician
It is not known at this writing is if they knew their killer(s). Also unstated at this time is if Savvas Savopoulos or his wife Amy owned guns, especially in light of the bureaucratic hurdles associated with "legally" owning firearms in the District, and if they did, if that would have made a difference. What is known, but is not being disclosed by mainstream media, is that the executive and his company supported a politician who is a strong proponent of “gun control.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a gun may not have made a difference, but no one has a right to make that choice for another. As for this being "too soon," if left to the antis, the time to explore this further would be "never."
