Colorado enforcement dilemma shows exploitable weakness of anti-gun laws

What’s new is that more fed-up gun owners are forming the resolve to defy disarmament edicts and to refuse to comply when “progressive” majorities have barred doors for legislative and judicial redress. That's because unalienable individual rights aren't subject to manipulated mob whims. While more traditional organizations have not known what to make of situations when their lobbying strategies have failed and gun owners have taken the demand for freedom into their own hands, perhaps some are learning that dismissing “I will not comply” activists as “extremists” is playing into the hands of people who level that charge against everyone they wish to smear, with a special viciousness for the more "moderate" who try to play nice.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes ultimately, it boils down to those who want to disarm their fellow citizens asking themselves one question: "Do I feel lucky?"  Plus this seemed as good a time as any to resurrect "The Hickenlooper Blues."

Beautiful DREAMer, Wake Unto Me...

The government’s negligence—allowing these illegal immigrant criminals in the country to begin with—has allowed the problem to spread like wildfire. [More]
I hate to break it to you guys at Judicial Watch, but if you think that's due to "negligence," you haven't been paying attention.

A Shotgun by Any Other Name

Under current ATF rulings, its possible to create a non-NFA firearm that uses shotgun rounds (note, I did not say “shotgun” which refers to a specific legal definition). By never mounting a stock to a receiver and keeping the over-all length over 26″, Shockwave technologies Raptor grips keep a scattergun legal to own. Users who purchase these must keep the grips on, otherwise they become an AOW requiring registration. [More]
Just think, there are people who would gladly employ the full contiuum of force up to lethal over this.

"The Description of the Attackers is Very Vague"

It's just three or four men between the ages of 17 and 23... [More]
I'll say it's vague. At least any description politically-motivated "Only Ones" and our hero crusading journalists are willing to share with the public...

I love the fact that this has been taking place two blocks from one of Thug McCarthy's lairs.

This Day in History: March 31

I think the Peace upon the whole a very liberal one; and therefore most likely to be durable—never was so Important a Revolution as Ours, so cheaply, and in so short a time purchased; the value of which, I hope we shall not estimate by the price, but by its Intrinsic worth. The Payment of British debts does not set well on the stomachs of people in general here; you know my sentiments always were that a National War, tho’ it might suspend, ought not to destroy the Contracts or engagements of Individuals. The restitution of confiscated property, is touched so gently, as to produce no effect I imagine, tho’ for myself I declare, that in this state, I believe it would produce in general, good rather than evil, the lands being in the hands of worse Citizens than they were taken from: [More]
