So these quacks and sharks are interested in reducing injuries and deaths? They ought to start with the Number One Cause, instead of escalating tensions between those demanding freedom be surrendered to a monopoly of violence and those who, if forced to choose between obedience or resistance, will not go gentle into that good night. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes what's likely to happen when Opposite Day "progressives" listen to their "experts" on how to reduce firearms-related injuries and deaths.

Lawyers for Lawlessness, Doctors for Death
Facebook blocks fundraiser to reunite father and son over gun connection
“Progressives” aren't content to just ban guns – there are still plenty of ideas that threaten their agenda. And while Facebook still permits advocacy “as long as it doesn't lead to the sale of any weapons,” the way things are going, it’s not all that hard to imagine such groups labeled “right wing extremists” and worse in the future. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it's not about guns, it's about those who consider freedom to be a threat.
No Bounds
John Richardson looks at the stunning level of hypocrisy that has been mastered (mistressed?) by Shannon Watts. [More]
I don't know if it's Opposite Day "progressivism" that drives her misogynistic brand of "feminism" or what, but her motivation doesn't really matter any more than wondering what drives a spider or a snake to bite.

Well Fancy That
The congressmen also allege that the ATF violated government transparency requirements. “The Administrative Procedures Act… requires that ‘general notice of proposed rulemaking shall be published in the Federal Register…’ To date, [the proposed ban] has not been published in the Federal Register.” [More]You don't say...
Trying to Track Down a SC PX Ammo Pull
Got this email I'm trying to check out, but I have no contacts to ask:
If you have any suggestions or know anybody who can verify, please share them in comments. Also, it would probably be a good idea to see if this is more widespread than one PX in SC.
UPDATE: Still have not verified, but just got this:
[X] is stationed at Fort Jackson South Carolina. [Y] just contacted me and said that the PX there has pulled all 5.56 ammo from the shelves. She asked the PX personnel why the ammo was pulled, she was told "because they had to". I don't know of any ongoing recall. Is there another known and/or logical reason for such a policy, and is this new?I can't even figure out which facility to call. I messaged these guys.

UPDATE: Still have not verified, but just got this:
Was told that this involves all military retail sales, by 'executive order'.I contacted Gun Rights Across America SC via their Facebook page and they said they would look into it.
Got a Hanky?
Why yes. Yes we do. [More]
Have you met Mr. Hankey? He basically personifies everything she stands (sits?) for.
And isn't it something-- the link for her on the state's taxpayer-funded site goes to this:
Way to chill the First Amendment along with the Second, McAwful, you piece of Mr. Hankey. How the HELL is that an appropriate page to link to?

A Set-Up?
Twitter message just received in re the planned event discussed in today's GRE:
Has anyone stopped to think that Bosworth&Co.may be being set up? DHS staged incident of"Domestic Terrorism" 2 further restrict our rights?The people participating are well aware of provocateurs and false flag potentialities. The best insurance, aside from the outstandingly peaceable reputations of the principals, and the rest of us keeping a close eye on things, is ultimately provided by the company Mike has a policy with.

Protecting Their Rice Bowls
Eyewitness News has spoken with several other shooting instructors who say the same thing. They support the 2nd amendment, but also think anyone who carries a gun needs a lot of specialized training to keep both themselves and others around them safe. [More]Yeah, see, too much rice gives you a big "but."
Kansas gun owners need to be the ones to start a "Do Not Patronize" list.
Nullifying What, Exactly?
Arizona Senate Committee Passes Bill to Nullify Federal Gun Laws [More]Sounds good, doesn't it?
Except our friends at Nevada Firearms Coalition just issued an email caution:
Even if this sounds great on the surface, IF your legislature has included federal law under the state law, they become state law, and the nullification is moot unless they go into the state law and amend those parts out. For instance in NV, the definition of a handgun is
“3. “Handgun” has the meaning ascribed to it in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(29).”
This laziness of the law writers has two negative effects. 1. It makes federal law state law 2. If the federal law changes, the meaning and intent of state law changes.
NVFAC is recommending against any wording in proposed laws that references USC. We are asking lawmakers to use the wording within the code they like and DO NOT cite the actual code.
So AZ and other states, check your statutes and if they have cited federal code, your law to nullify federal gun laws is ineffective.
Dirt Biking
He was asked, along with other members of the team, to lead the motorcycle brigade at the very front of the parade. Moutsos said he "felt uncomfortable doing what he considered celebratory circles with other motorcycles leading the parade because of his religious views" and asked to be placed somewhere else at the event. "It is unquestionably my duty as a police officer to protect everyone's right to hold a parade or other event, but is it also my duty to celebrate everyone's parade?" [More]"It" is easily operated using four flexi-grip handles. (NSFW: Do NOT click if you are offended by nasty humor.)
There's a huge difference between tolerating and being raped. And I still note for all their bitching and invoking the state to bend people of religion over, they were all awfully quiet about Cleveland's Muslim taxi drivers refusing to drive "Gay Games"-promoting cabs.
Who WAS That Masked Man?
A terrorist? A robber?
Why don't we ask Col. Cooper?
Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing. A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.Me neither, Col. Me neither.

These lawbreakers will be guaranteed safe passage everywhere due to "full faith and credit." [More]
Try doing that with your "supreme Law of the Land" Second Amendment.
Thank goodness this represents no threat to that "single issue," otherwise, we'd really need to worry!

We're the Only Ones Eroding Confidence Enough
Fairfax County’s chief prosecutor called for the Virginia State Police to investigate a Fairfax police shooting outside a church in September because he had lost confidence in the county police department’s ability to cooperate fully with him, newly released e-mails show. [More]Gee, I wonder why.

Arnhole would like to tell you something, Pete, and this time, he speaks for me.
New York gun owners who vote for this creep because of the lame excuse a Democrat will be even worse deserve every chain they wear. There's nothing worse than a traitor on "your side."
Any gun owner who donates to the Republican party, as opposed to individual candidates who have actually earned support, deserves similar chains, because they help elect traitors like this animal, and the contemptible Mark Kirk.

Washington activists plan peaceful armed assembly response to activist’s arrest
Liberty for All and Defend Amendment X will gather in front of the Tom Foley Federal Building in Spokane next Friday to protest the arrest and detention of Anthony Bosworth by DHS police on Wednesday. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a protest all eyes will be on a week from now. My prediction is even the media is going to show up in anticipation of seeing some police action, even if they downplay it afterward if that doesn't happen.
Probing Actions
The IRS’s inspector general confirmed Thursday it is conducting a criminal investigation into how Lois G. Lerner’s emails disappeared, saying it took only two weeks for investigators to find hundreds of tapes the agency’s chief had told Congress were irretrievably destroyed. [More]Give that gal a bonus!
For IRS mucky-mucks, a "probe" seems ironically fitting, as does the potential prison toast of "Bottoms up!"

This Day in History: February 27
Reports are freely circulated here, that there are dangerous combinations in the army ; and, within a few days past, it has been said, they are about to declare they will not disband until their demands are complied with. I trust these reports are not well founded, and that the army will exercise, awhile longer at least, that patient forbearance, which hath hitherto so honorably distinguished them. To you it must be unnecessary to observe, that when once all confidence between the civil and military authority is lost, by intemperate conduct, or an assumption of improper power, especially by the military body, the Rubicon is passed, and to retreat will be very difficult, from the fears and jealousies that will unavoidably subsist between the two bodies.
