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 expires
* 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]

Here's where I'm coming from:

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.

Along with an undeniable truth.

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.

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.

Too bad Steve Carrell is a typical Hollywood Prozi.  I guess if you want to be on the A-List, you need to play ball, "regardless of the changes and damage that will ensue to the culture and our country."

I guess I'll wait for Netflix...

Malheur SITREP – 1900L 29 JAN 16

There's plenty of bad information out there.  This is validated information. [More]

Also of vital importance -- Ammon Bundy's statement:

My message still remains. Turn yourselves in and do not use physical force. Use the national platform we have to continue to defend liberty through our constitutional rights in an Article 3 Court with an Article 3 judge.

If you think you know more about the situation and better what needs to be done now than he does, feel free to share your personal qualifications and make your case for why people should follow you.

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..."?

Things change, and there's no shortage of those who would like to change them. And when that happens, you can count on the records being as secure as, say, Hillary's emails.
