Nevada AG Will Not Enforce New Law after FBI Declines Question 1 Background Checks

“[T]he recent passage of the Nevada legislation regarding background checks for private sales cannot dictate how federal resources are applied,” Kimberly Del Greco of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division informed the Nevada Department of Public Safety in a Dec. 14 letter, meaning the FBI would not allow intermediaries to run background checks as required by the Act. Based on a resulting department clarification request to Laxalt on how to proceed, the attorney general concluded “citizens may not be prosecuted for their inability to comply with the Act unless and until the FBI changes its public position and agrees to conduct the background checks consistent with the Act.” [More]

I wonder why they don't provide for comments...?

Curious-- their top referral sites are pro-gun:

No doubt you'd find a similar pattern of motivation among key word searchers and social media links.  Meaning the ones reading and passing along links to their crap are ... uh ...

Well, at least I know how to handle future Trace links.

The Website Went Off

Nevada accidentally leaks thousands of medical marijuana dispensary applications - The data includes their dates of birth, home addresses, citizenship, and driving license and social security numbers of the applicants. [More]

Oh sure, trivialize criminal negligence by calling it an accident.  Our bad!

We're sure this wasn't intentional?

Every one of those people is a "prohibited person," forbidden by the feds to own a gun. And now they're at even more risk.

Welcome Chi-Coms!

I have no idea why the spike in visitors from the People's Republic, because Blogger's counter sucks. I used to have Stat Counter and Site Meter, but when they ran into their own internal glitches it would sometimes shut this site down.

I just hope my new visitors don't run afoul of Jingjing and Chacha.

An Opposite Day 'Progressive' Reasonable Contention

The county contends the law is a reasonable way of maintaining public safety and is in keeping with U.S. Supreme Court rulings on gun rights and with historical regulation of commercial gun sales. [More]

Of course they do. They're professional liars.

• The new center will “track and evaluate counterfactual narratives”.

• The new center will identify “emerging trends” in “disinformation,” including “information obtained from print, broadcast, online and social media.”

• The new center will use “covert or clandestine special operators and agents to influence targeted populations”.

• The new center has 10 million dollars to pay select members of academia and journalism to “proactively promote fact-based narratives and policies,” and “to expose and refute foreign misinformation and disinformation,” –as defined by the center.

• The new center will pick winners and losers in academia and politics: “The Center is authorized to provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society groups, journalists, nongovernmental organizations, federally-funded research and development centers, private companies, or academic institutions.”

• The new center will compile and evaluate information that has been gathered by those whom the center funds. [More]

Fighting "fake news" with fake news, I see...

How very Opposite Day "progressive."

These people are obsessed with hating freedom.

Confirming a Conundrum

'I HAVE CONFIRMED EVIDENCE' Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims US-led coalition forces have ‘supported ISIS’ [More]

So seeing as how Turkey is a NATO ally, if they retaliate militarily against those forces, Obama will be treaty-bound to provide support.

It'll be nice to finally get that out in the open.

And Remember, Our Diversity is Our Strength!

Of the nine Northern Virginians who were arrested, all but one were in their teens and early 20s. They included a police officer, a Starbucks barista, Army soldiers, bankers and a cabdriver. Four of the nine graduated from Northern Virginia high schools, one with honors. Two attended Northern Virginia Community College. [More]

So they've already been treated with welcoming tolerance, inclusion and acceptance, and they still want to kill us?

Think. There's gotta be something else we can surrender and offer in appeasement...

Submit.  Yeah, I know that works against the whole "diversity" thing, but it's the Opposite Day "progressive" thing to do.

These guys truly believe they're above it all.  I guess considering the excesses at their fingertips from their point of view, and all the useful idiots and sycophants who line up to do their bidding, that's almost understandable.

No Nazis Allowed

If you're on Facebook, you can tell them what you think of their tolerance and their embracing of diversity here.

Fortunately for all, no gay wedding cakes were involved, but the thought strikes -- if a "conservative" restaurateur put up a "No 'Progressives'" sign, I'd expect the ethics of that crowd to result in "customers" going in with the express purpose of "finding" disgusting things in their food, not to mention anonymous "tips" to the health department.

The moral thing to do, of course, is to walk away.

We're the Only Ones Tracking Enough

But the vast data those readers generate continues to alarm civil liberties advocates, troubled by the possibility of police tracking people’s movements, and now a legal challenge is headed to Virginia’s Supreme Court to determine whether the police can keep the information indefinitely — or not at all.

Hey, if you're not going anywhere we're interested in, you've got nothing to worry about.

Say, I wonder if correlating locations would be enough to get a judge to sign off on a search warrant...
