Facebook Implements Chinese-Style Censorship/Snitch Policies
Nobody thought it was ultimately about just controlling guns, did they...?Borrowing a tactic from the police state playbook, Facebook’s “No Guns” enforcement will be dependent on an army of citizen snitches. Based on comments on gun-grabber social media pages, their fascist members are eager to do what they can to get gun owner accounts closed out for “violations.” [More]

Turning Lemons into Lemonade
Under the new Facebook "No gun ads" policy, there’s nothing to stop you from posting a picture and details about a gun you own and inviting inquiries about it. If someone contacts you asking how much you want for it, just tell them Facebook policy prohibits using their platform to solicit gun transfers, but if they’re interested in more information about your gun -- for educational purposes only -- they can contact you via email.
If, after establishing a relationship separate from Facebook, you wish to change your mind and consider selling to the person, do what you’d normally do to make sure you’re not being set up by a stranger. And if it turns out that person was a gun-grabber troll, by that time you ought to have validated enough personal information to release it and “out” them as the punk snitch they are, complete with email address, phone number and more. In any case,you won't have transacted any business in violation of Facebook rules.
As a matter of fact, those of us without guns to sell could still set nets up for gunsnitches to blunder in to, as per this example:

VCDL on the McAwful Reciprocity Deal
#3 - Persons subject to a PERMANENT domestic violence protection order cannot possess firearms until the order expiresHere's where I'm coming from:
* The ONLY permanent protection order this restriction applies to is one for domestic violence and NOTHING else.
* The subject of the protection order must have had his day in court along with any legal counsel. Temporary protection orders do NOT affect possession of firearms.
* If the judge, after hearing the defense, decides to issue a permanent protection order anyhow, the subject of the protection order will lose his gun rights for the duration of the order (MAXIMUM of two years), and automatically get those gun rights back when the permanent protection order expires. Note: a new permanent protection order could potentially be issued when the perament protection order expires if the judge thinks a danger still exists.
* The subject of the permanent protection order will have 24 hours to turn his guns over to a person of his choice, as long as that person can legally possess firearms.
* The above is basically federal law already, and state law already prohibits a person with such a permanent protection order from purchasing or transporting a firearm. [More]
Has the person been convicted of a crime? Did he have a jury trial where he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?
That's all that matters to me.

How to Harvest a Migrant Worker
Mass immigration into America, legal or not, is primarily about importing customers to replace the aging Baby Boomer consumers who are leaving the economy at the rate of over 10,000 per day. They need to be replaced if businesses are to continue earning their profits, and businessmen, obviously from the three examples above, don’t care who the customers are, regardless of the changes and damage that will ensue to the culture and our country. [More]Rick Oltman ties in what's going on with a movie review. He knows whereof he speaks.
The movie sounds interesting and important. The book even more so. And your library may have it, like mine does.

We're the Only Ones Hacked Enough
Private files belonging to America’s largest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, have been hacked and posted online. The file is said to contain names and addresses of officers including various contracts with cities and private forum posts. [More]Gee, that's really too bad. Especially since this is their position on ending private sales/universal registration:
Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, said in an interview that he now supports extending checks to gun shows and other venues where they are not required.
"Closing that gap would make it much more difficult for criminals to obtain firearms,” he said.They can't even keep their own files secure, and they want to add ours?
Oh, but NICS requires destruction of records?
Note the FBI acknowledges that as "Current destruction of records..."?

Coming Out Blazing
Advocates of gun control raked in $3.6 million over the last two years to place an initiative to tighten background checks for gun purchases and transfers in Nevada on the November ballot and ensure it passes. [More]Here's why YOU should care:
The initiative is part of a broader national push to establish universal background check laws state by state after an effort to do so on the federal level failed in 2013.Think they won't be advancing into your neck of the woods if they break through the front lines? Speaking of which, the troops there could use some immediate support.
And while you're at it, you might want to tell Wynn and Caesars to go to hell. I'm sure their mucky-mucks have plenty of muscle protecting them.
With SHOT having wrapped up, I wonder what kind of effort -- if any -- the guys making all the money put into defending against Bloomberg and alerting visitors in need of accommodations where NOT to stay...
