‘Meet Obama’ Contest Continues Pattern of Discrimination, Disenfranchisement

If “undocumented migrants” have “earned” the right to vote, why haven’t they earned the right to win OFA-sponsored “Meet Obama” contests? And if requiring government-issued IDs disenfranchises minorities from voting, why add to the discrimination by requiring them in order to collect the prize? [More]
Here's your chance to tell the guy just what you think of him -- to his face.

Hey, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear from "protective" totalitarians. Providing you're loyal...

How else do you selfish probable subversives expect the rest of us to "feel" safe? After all, to borrow some "logic" from the gun-grabber playbook, everyone is a dictat-abiding citizen until they're not.

It's What He Didn't Say

Bernie Sanders revealed Tuesday that shots were fired into his Nevada campaign office and that an "apartment housing complex my campaign staff lived in was broken into and ransacked." The Democratic presidential candidate did not explicitly blame his rival, Hillary Clinton, for the actions. [More]
Curious though, that no attempt was made to cast suspicion on "conservatives." The again, they no doubt have access to more circumstantial and contextual information than has been released...

A Classic Bystander Effect

I like the way the egghead shrink in the video says guns are to blame for no one getting involved. A classic scapegoating effect.

No guns were involved in this incident either, so he must be right!

It's your and my fault.

Nevada GOP Urges 'No on Bloomberg's Question 1'


This just in from Nevada Firearms Coalition:
Our esteemed NW Director John Jorgensen was a delegate at the Republican NV Convention. Through his diligence and persistence, he was able to get the attached as part of the Republican platform.  John was helped by several key people, but I really think if it wasn’t for his hard efforts, this would have never came about. This just proves what dedicated people can do against the carpetbagger money. Thanks John!!
Also:
And in case you missed it: "The Only Proper Answer to Bloomberg’s Nevada ‘Question 1’ is ‘No’"

A Worldwide Celebration!

I'll be bringing hourly updates on the festivities in Riyadh.

Here's the thing -- if it's really a "phobia," isn't it inhumanely cruel to attack those who "suffer" from it?

Keeping Things in Check

We're the Only Ones Inside the Bubble Enough

Melinda Westmoreland, assistant district attorney of Tarrant County, unilaterally decided that the mere presence of a weapon near a police officer somehow interferes with the officers ability to do his job. [More]
I remember talking about the related Villalba bill when it came out a year earlier. The thing is, after no small amount of public furor, it was dropped.

So does this mean if you're lawfully carrying, openly or concealed, and you see abuse under color of authority, you need to back off from recording anything until you disarm? Or does this just mean "laws" are what the enforcers say they are?

A Question of Jurisdiction

Anybody have qualified insights into this claim?

UPDATE from WarOnGuns Correspondent "Rough and Ready":
Regarding your 'Question of Jurisdiction', there is an excellent article on the subject in the current issue of Range Magazine. The Article is titled 'Original Intent' by Michael S. Coffman, Ph.D. It begins on page 14. The article takes you step by step through the laws and acts during the settling of the West. It's involved, as there were many changes made, depending on the times and the politics involved. Unfortunately the article is not online, as it's in the current issue (Summer, 2016). It will become available online as soon as the next issue is published. Here's the link to Range's website: http://rangemagazine.com/
It's a great magazine and has covered the Hammond's plight extensively. The family's articles are on the left sidebar under 'Enemies of the State'. Reading them online is possible.

Its RIGOROUS duty...

Catch-22

Under the challenged Alameda County ordinance, a new gun store must be located at least 500 feet away from any residentially zoned district, elementary, middle or high school, pre-school or day care center, another firearms sales business, or places where liquor is sold or served. But, according to a scientific study conducted by the plaintiffs that included a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) study of the entirety of Alameda County, there are no parcels within the county that meet the ordinance’s requirements. That, plaintiffs argued, effectively constitutes a ban on the opening of gun stores and an infringement of Second Amendment rights. [More]
It's so blatant even the Ninth couldn't prop up the pretense. Yet.
