Latest 4th Circuit Gun Ban Decision Highlights Legal Danger for Militia-Suitable Arms

What happens from here is, at best, uncertain. Pessimistically, I expect the court to look out for the interests of the state — they must realize what Branca observed about all “gun control” edicts being vulnerable. I also expect the “precedent” to be applied in other districts. [More]

Can you imagine telling a Minuteman his gun had to be turned in for "public safety," and that it was not "in common use at the time"? Modern day gun-grabbers are just as ludicrous, and some of them wear black robes.

Project Conwalker

Lymon, 35, was a convicted killer at the time he allegedly sold $6,500 worth of heroin and firearms to undercover ATF agents last fall. Since his release from prison in 2011, Lymon had been arrested on suspicion of two separate violent crimes. But he was allowed to remain on the streets after the alleged undercover sales to the ATF agents. [More]

Hey, how else do you expect them to "botch a sting"...?

Zutritt Verbotten!

You are not welcome here. Arlingtonians will do their best to show you how unwelcome you are. [More]

You're the arbiter of who's welcome? Seems to me you're afraid to put that to the test and let Arlingtonians decide for themselves. If they don't want it, the marketplace will induce them to fold or to move.

Not that this guy has ever run a business to know about such things firsthand. And he sure seems overly concerned about comment posters not being from Arlington -- he's never had a problem forcing his brand of advocacy on other communities.

Hey, you know what would be unwelcome in my neighborhood? The guy Levine was a ... uh ... mouthpiece for running a gay prostitution ring out of his apartment.

He also claims he was "a Nazi hunter"?

Sure didn't learn much. Including about telling a people he is hostile toward that they're not welcome, that they have no fundamental right to their traditions and beliefs, or even to exist...

"Progressives." Opposite Day.

Go ahead-- do your "picket line"-- a dozen MILMs for a photo op and then they'll go home.  Do your strip mall boycott and punish people who didn't do anything-- which is what "gun control" is anyway.

Can you imagine what Virginians like George Mason and Patrick Henry would have thought of this kapo?

A Simple Equation

“Slaves plus guns equaled freedom.” [More]

So naturally, Opposite Day "progressives" want to subtract instead of add.

We're the Only Ones Slimmed Down Enough

Sheriffs Association introduces new, slimmed-down version of bill adding felonies that preclude future gun rights [More]

None of which negates an inconvenient truth that's apparently in no one's interest to acknowledge...

What Works

I dunno, guys -- have you factored in the massive non-compliance evident in places like Connecticut, California and New York, and the costs of implementation against, say, 3% of gun owners who will not comply...? [More]

Coming Soon, to a State Near You

If we lose this critical battle in Nevada, the same fight will land on your doorstep in the years to come. [More]

Would you rather the battle be where they are or where you are? And if you won't help them, why should they help you?

Automatic voter registration takes hold on West Coast [More]

You don't say.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that "single issue"!

For Science. For Action. For Health.

For manipulation. For propaganda. For totalitarianism. [More]

Their deputy director's name is "Mighty Fine"...? Well alrighty then.

Opposite Day "Progressives" Against Egalitartian Power Sharing got some money from someone to scam the emotional and the uninformed into surrendering their rights and to attack those who see through their BS. These are the Leni Riefenstahlers behind the hogwash.

This is one of those times I wish I could dig deeper on tracing things back to the elitists behind the scenes. Other priorities call...

The Walking Red

“The bills are dead, they just don’t know it,” said Eileen McCarron, president of Colorado Ceasefire, who referred to the gun measures as “zombie bills” at a news conference prior to the bills being heard in committee.

“The people who are here today are on the front lines against the zombie apocalypse,” McCarron quipped. [More]

If there's one thing a collectivist monopoly of violence zealot knows about, it's the dead.

She does realize the survivors are armed and fighting for their lives with grim determination, right? And what it takes to stop a zombie?

Hiking Up Her Robes and Crapping on the Constitution -- Again

U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the plaintiffs in a suit seeking to bar the District from enforcing its concealed-carry regulations "have not met their burden of showing a likelihood of success on the merits" in a motion for a preliminary injunction. The ruling in effect upholds—for now—D.C.'s "good reasoning" licensing scheme. [More]

This is the same Nazgûlette who "ruled" We the People couldn't carry in national parks without first doing an environmental impact study.

Unsurprisingly, she's all for non-Fourth Amendment-protected spying.

Catch and Release

A gunman who led Denver Police on a high speed chase and shootout that would result in the gunman’s death and leave one officer with a bullet wound to the leg had been recently arrested and released three times under new “Sure and Swift” policies adopted by the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC). [More]

Well that was certainly sure and swift, all right.

What more reason could be needed to conclude that disarming you and me is the only answer?

That and what kind of intolerant racists would have a wall to prevent Gonzales and Padilla from going wherever they want to?

The Missing Word in Police Killings

Disabled individuals make up a third to half of all people killed by law enforcement officers. Disabled individuals make up the majority of those killed in use-of-force cases that attract widespread attention. This is true both for cases deemed illegal or against policy and for those in which officers are ultimately fully exonerated. The media is ignoring the disability component of these stories, or, worse, is telling them in ways that intensify stigma and ableism. [More]

Interesting.

I wonder if their advocacy for the disabled would extend to the Palm Pistol...

Gosh, that's "critical," all right, Gov. Kasich.

Virtual Safe Space

But now there’s an option for supporters of abortion to completely avoid apparently offensive “pro-life” terminology. It’s a Google extension that changes any occurrence of the term “pro-life” to “anti-choice” in text on the Web. [More]

Who'da thunk?

An app to save you from closing your eyes, putting your hands over your ears and going "LALALALALA...."

What will the "progressives" think of next?

Guns. Lots of Guns.

OK, so the guy can shoot. [Watch]

So can Lon Horiuchi.

I get why gun owners have given this over 5M views. It would be nice to see something making the case for freedom get as many or more.

I can't help but think of this:

I’m reminded of a rally I participated in many years ago, when I lived in Southern California—the Million Moms had a rally in front of the federal building in LA’s Westwood neighborhood (interestingly, we were in front of a veteran’s cemetery), with moneyed special interests busing numbers in, naturally, and our folks set up a line across the street. Out of the entire Los Angeles area, we only got about 250 supporters to join us throughout the day, never all there at the same time. It was especially appalling, because a week or so earlier, 40,000 managed to drag themselves to the Pomona Fairgrounds for the largest gun show in the west.

Would You?

I would not have picked this guy up. The gun isn't the issue -- I just don't pick up hitchhikers.
