Notes from the Resistance...
We’re not even talking felonies, we’re talking misdemeanors. Actually, we’re not even talking misdemeanors. Casey’s latest act of un-American treachery would: “[P]rohibit the sale of firearms to anyone reasonably suspected to be guilty of a misdemeanor hate crime.” [More]Lose a fundamental right based on suspicion. Yeah, that's American alright...
The gay rights movement could take on the NRA — and actually win [More]Let's see, one of their conflicted own dispatches as he pleases with a hundred+ of them, killing half... how is this going to work again?
All it took to attain one was a driver’s license (the one we used was from out of state) and a few minutes to wait for the background check to clear. We signed state-issued proof of sale documents that asked whether we were felons or drug addicts, and where we lived. [More]First of all,what's with the royal "we"? That sounds like a "straw purchase." Who bought the gun and how does someone with an out-of-state DL do that and then have Andy just walk out with it?
We attempted to return the AR-15 to the shop where we purchased it. Despite having a return policy, they refused. So we opted to turn the gun over to Orlando police, who said they would have it destroyed.So they filled out sec. 11.a. on the 4473 knowing they had no intention of buying the gun for themselves?
Homeland Security Report Calls for Rejecting Terms ‘Jihad,’ ’Sharia’ [More]I understand they can't have pictures of their prophet, either.
A conclusion of interest to all Second Amendment advocates: If two citizens with stellar records of being law-abiding and responsible --and with clear justifiable need -- cannot overcome the infringements New Jersey imposes, the right to keep and bear arms is being effectively denied to “the whole people.” With no repercussions. [More]New Jersey views the right to keep and bear arms as a curiosity that does not apply within its borders. And they're being allowed to get away with it.
S.2943 - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 [More]Here's the part some of us would like clarification on (I had to take a screenshot, because the damn .gov website freezes up my old pull-start desktop machine no matter which browser I use):
EXCLUSIVE: Oprah Winfrey Endorses Hillary Clinton in Upcoming Election: 'It's a Seminal Moment for Women' [More]Is that anything like a... no, I'm not gonna go there.
Family of AR-15 Inventor Eugene Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civilians [More]Note they provide no direct quotes or documentation. It's all what they say he would have thought. To suggest that he did not know his semi-auto design would be available to the civilian market and not subject to NFA '34is absurd. And he died a millionaire.
Jo Cox MP shooting suspect was a 'loner white supremacist' ... [More]I wonder if that will affect the referendum on leaving the EU.
Today, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America (UOJCA) – the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization – expressed its support for federal legislation to prevent gun violence. [More]
Any "adjustment or removal" of the second amendment should be viewed as an act of treason and the people of this great nation are constitutionally empowered to retain the constitution while disposing of a government gone wrong. [More]The question is, how many will?
I am curious to know the estimated amount of ammo Mateen probably carried into The Pulse, how much it weighed and how he could manage the crowd all by his lonesome. We are debating this and I have no idea other than a guess. Please help. Maybe you can blog about how a lone wolf could kill so many and hold his position over three hours.I'm afraid all I can do is guess as well -- and I expect crime scene information is going to be closely controlled. In terms of how much ammo, in that closed space it would seem the number of magazines needed ought not be too cumbersome or weighty. In terms of how he could hold his position, I'd attribute much of the crowd's reaction to "trauma and the freeze response." That and herdthink.
