Notes from the Resistance...
Don’t expect the mainstream media, and even Republican politicians, to relentlessly investigate the truth of any of these claims. With a few notable exceptions, they didn’t do anything but ignore and obfuscate while the iron was hot, and there is no incentive to resurrect “yesterday’s news” now. [More]Meanwhile, most "Authorized Journalist" sources are telling you everything is hunky-dory...
The NRA helped write California’s 1967 ban on openly carrying loaded firearms ... Indeed, these past six years the NRA has been in Federal court arguing to uphold California’s Open Carry bans as well as arguing in support of California’s Gun-Free School Zone Act ... Five years ago, the NRA opposed attempts to overturn the Open Carry bans in Arkansas, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma and when a Federal appellate court in 2012 struck down an Illinois ban on carrying loaded and unloaded firearms, be they carried openly or concealed, the NRA lobbied the Illinois legislature to enact a new ban on openly carried firearms in 2013 and, ironically, lobbied the state to enact an onerous concealed carry permit requirement. [More]I know Charles has gotten a lot of people furious with him in the past, and that SAF and Gura opposed one of his lawsuits. At the time, I was doing that Scottsdale area radio show and tried to get him on the program, and maybe even host a debate with his detractors, but couldn't get it to happen.
McAuliffe (D) vetoed bills that would have given domestic-violence victims under protective orders the temporary right to carry concealed weapons without applying for permits or getting training.then:
“Governor McAuliffe applies one standard to bills like these,” Coy wrote in an email. “If they make Virginia safer, he signs them. If they do not, he vetoes them.”then:
McAuliffe signed identical House and Senate bills to allow the state’s judges and prosecutors to carry concealed weapons without having to undergo the normal permit-application and training process.Because judges and prosecutors have powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men?
The three-year-old family friend was sitting on Robinson's lap when he allegedly went to move a gun that was in a holster on his waistband because it was uncomfortable. That's when the gun discharged, firing one bullet into both legs of the young victim. [More]All by its own self, apparently.
PANICKED ELITE BUYING BOMB-PROOF LUXURY SURVIVAL BUNKERS TO ESCAPE CIVIL UNREST, DISASTERS [More]Which brings us to a persistent question...
Harvard professor Robert Rotberg is now citing Cracked as an authoritative source on firearms... [More]If you think about the insanity of citizen disarmament and a monopoly of violence, it only makes sense.
Thanks to S.B. 273, Texans may now file complaints about signs posted that illegally prohibit licensed carriers from bringing their guns on government property. So far, nearly 60 complaints have been lodged, and are under investigation by the Texas Attorney General’s Office. [More]The Demanding Moms make their views known...
The primary flaw in the entire Directive is the lack of punishment for any government official(s) who break the law or do not follow the Directive. [More]No, that's not "the primary flaw." But things are so screwed up that you're reduced to calling clarification of infringements "a step in the right direction," you're dependent on an advocacy model rendered effectively impotent by a tyranny of the majority, and that model will brook no competition from the "I will not comply" new paradigm. Which means the wheels will keep spinning and the Intolerable Acts will continue.
Anyone involved in a car crash in New York may soon have to submit not just blood-alcohol content but a cellphone to police at the scene, or else risk losing his or her license. [More]Brought to you by the same totalitarian lobby that wants your guns.
The number of crime guns in New York from Vermont is so small that it could even be attributed to one or two bad actors. Using the per capita measure of trafficked guns originating from Vermont is as pointless as counting guns trafficked per 100,000 head of cattle. [More]Welcome to the party, pals. What took you so long?
