Notes from the Resistance...
There are over 80 million gun owners. We could have uninfringed RKBA tomorrow, and no one would dare do a damn thing about it. [More]He's found a convenient target to direct anger toward -- but while admittedly grave, it's hardly the greatest threat.

The monument has been seated since late August. They had to wait until they could put the death date on it. I have pictures but I have yet had the courage to go see it in person. Its seated near a church they had planted there with 2 park benches flanking it.Sadly, she now finds herself battling cancer of her own. If you'd like to help, You can send checks, money orders or cash to:
[T]he hunger strike is "symbolic" and protesters can leave and get food when they can no longer go on. [More]Talk about commitment! And if it's Yale, they can even afford to have it catered.
Police flood Alabama Capitol, ask lawmakers to keep concealed carry permit requirement [More]So they admit to being oath breakers?
And I think the questioning today makes it chillingly clear that the government's position, in this case, would subject all naturalized Americans to potential denaturalization at the hands of an aggressive prosecutor. [More]If that's the case, would it have any bearing on how they should answer Form 4473 question A.12.c. to stay truthful, or would they need to be convicted first?
It now appears that West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who ran as a pro-life candidate and still calls himself pro-life, is following the party line. He is voting in favor of abortion and has posed for a picture holding an "I Stand with Planned Parenthood" sign. [More]So that means when he say's he's "pro-gun"... ?
Richmond-area felon caught before with firearms allegedly caught again [More]There oughtta be a law!
Appeals court bans Cleveland gun registry, regulations [More]Kudos for your legal victory, OFCC.
“This is what happens when guns get into the hands of youth,” he said. [More]Really? You'd rather have seen all those kids dead than armed, "Only One" Perez?
As part of the section on the use of deadly force, the consensus was that warning shots should be considered by police when they are in a situation warranting the use of deadly force. [More]Between that and "shoot to wound" proposals, we ought to see all kinds of opportunities for unintended consequences...
Earlier this year, according to Schmidt, the NRA approached USCCA to talk about partnering to create a program that looks a lot like what the larger group is now marketing as Carry Guard. Schmidt said he walked an NRA representative through how USCCA’s coverage works. But then he never heard anything more from the NRA about the plan — until he got the letter disinviting him from the convention in Atlanta. [More]That's in line with information I had when I wrote my first piece on this but did not elaborate on. It's not uncommon to have more raw "intel" than is disclosed in a story due to different levels of corroboration for different elements. There is more on what was done to Second Call Defense as well that has not been made public -- yet.
MURDERS IN US VERY CONCENTRATED: 54% OF US COUNTIES IN 2014 HAD ZERO MURDERS, 2% OF COUNTIES HAVE 51% OF THE MURDERS [More]Something must be done! For the children!
Ridley Scott: Aliens exist and they will come for us ... He said: "Nothing scares me. I have a 9mm (pistol). [More]So naturally, being an Opposite Day alien "progressive," he acts as apologist and historical revisionist for current invaders and enjoys a freedom his Brit "homeworld," and those plotting the cultural terraforming there and here, will not allow.
Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880 became effective Jan. 1 of this year and part of the new law requires those who have assault weapons to register them by Jan. 1 2018,” CBS 13 Sacramento reports. “But the website to do so isn’t working.” [More]What's a little in-your-face entrapment among "friends"?

Why is there no stream of gripping films about the thousands of troubled Americans with easy access to guns who can lethally act out their darkest grievances on family and society day after day? [More]Because every time they come up with an anti-gun movie, it bombs at the box office?
We fight peacefully in the political arena, in the courts, and in the shrinking marketplace of ideas while we can, but we must also be ready to fight in the streets when those punky puffboys try to shut us up. No quarter, no compromise, no surrender – we fight and win, or they shut us up forever. [More]A point of contention is referring to tyrannophiles as "liberals."
When Stuckey asked who was paying him, several event leaders, who called themselves “marshals,” told him to stop asking questions and tried to bar him from streaming the protest on Facebook Live. [More]Follow the money. And remember the legal phrase "knew or should have known" for damage accountability.
That’s when Plummer fired a single-shot through the front window in hopes to scare away who he assumed were burglars. [More]Jeeze, if you can't take the advice of the head of Obama's "gun violence" task force, whose advice can you take?
Three retired NYPD officers were among five people arrested as part of the ongoing probe into members of the department expediting gun permits for cash. [More]I understand they plan on using the Jojo Krako defense:
Who's infringin'?We're expeditin'.[Via Jess]
Police use of Tasers has dropped in Virginia — in some cases dramatically — in the year since a federal appeals court decision essentially “rewrote policy for every department” in the state, a nationally recognized expert on stun guns and police use of force says. [More]And what about police shootings? Sorry, "Precise statistics on the number of killings by police in Virginia are not available" and Fairfax PD "has decided unilaterally to stop reporting the data to state police."
For decades, gun rights were a somewhat tricky subject for Democrats running in what used to be a red state, but demographic shifts and the voting power of populous Northern Virginia has allowed Democrats to make calls for tighter gun restrictions a key part of their platform, even if it means risking the ire of the politically powerful gun-rights group headquartered in Fairfax. In the 2013 governor’s race, the NRA donated $500,000 to Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who lost to McAuliffe. [More]Thank goodness that "demographic shift" has nothing to do with that "single issue"!
Apparently repealing Obamacare could violate international law [More]But enslaving us to pay for it does not?
First Bundy ranch trial ends in mistrial, few convictions; judge criticized for rulings [More]And eight of the convictions were against a CI?
A Rocky River police officer was taken to the hospital Monday afternoon after being shot in the leg at a shooting range ... only used by law enforcement for training. [More]I can't begin to tell you how many times that's happened to me under much less controlled circumstances.
Instead, Cardinal Wuerl, Pope Francis and other hierarchs who should know better reiterate politically correct anti-gun propaganda. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops even wants to criminalize civilian handgun possession. [More]What better place to infiltrate?
Ronald Reagan: ‘Those Who Seek to Inflict Harm Are Not Fazed by Gun Control Laws’ [More]Then why was he so bent on inflicting them, and why does the "pro-gun" establishment continue perpetuating an unsustainable myth?
This event will feature 93 people lying on the grassy ground at Woodruff to represent what organizers say are the number of people who die daily in the U.S. from gun violence. [More]I wonder if the Evel Knievel costume still fits...
Chicago passes 1,000 gunshot victims for the year, pace of violence close to 2016 [More]Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
Can a slight charge of electricity improve an ailing memory? [More]Now that it looks like changes are a-comin' in Joisey, maybe doctors there can answer that question.
Naturally, Sheriff Jeff Hobby is standing by this rights violation on a massive scale, noting that as long as a school administrator was present, the search of the children was legal. [More]Except now that he's seeing negative consequences, he's throwing his deputy under the bus.
Clark County Shooting Complex offers program for women [More]Don Turner & Co. prep them for deeper waters.
Join us for an afternoon of FREE SPEECH in America. We won’t let the bad guys win. [More]Her lack of acknowledgment and absence will be an indicator of what Ann is really made of.
Since voters have given the GOP a veto-proof majority, three elections in a row, you might expect the Republicans to use the power we’ve vested in them to push the principles of a free republic; to fight for the recognition and protection of long-eroding gun rights, for example. Unfortunately, if you expected this you would be disappointed. Republicans have gone squishy on gun rights, and you’ll probably be perplexed by their excuse. [More]Not so much perplexed as revolted by RINOs. I wonder how many of those POS's campaigned on their creds as "staunch defenders of the Second Amendment"...?
Citing its support for gun control, Concordia shoots down student NRA club [More]And there's no shortage of fruits. They're such useful idiots when it comes to cultural terraforming that George Soros' Open Society Foundations is helping fund their "progressive" subversion.
“The Second Amendment guarantees individuals a fundamental right to keep and bear arms for self-defense … Further, ‘the Second Amendment extends prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.’” [More]Now we get to see how the "lawmakers" respond.
The passengers weren’t in much of a position to do anything but be victimized, thanks in no small part to the Bay Area Rapid Transit’s “no guns” policies, combined with the utter refusal of regional “Only Ones” to approve “may issue” (meaning “probably won’t unless you’re connected) concealed carry permits. That's all enabled by the overwhelmingly dominant “progressive” mindset of a constituency that demands defenselessness for citizens and “sanctuary” for everyone else. [More]Based on the way they vote, that’s the way most riders want it.
Yes, Currin is what David Codrea refers to as a “big but” supporter of the Second Amendment; “Of course I support the Second Amendment, BUT …” [More]That's the surest way to determine you're dealing with a lying ass.
Eerie tech promises to copy anyone’s voice from just 1 minute of audio [More]On the one hand, I've been anticipating such a development as the final step needed once CGI is perfected to eliminate the need for "movie stars."

Wikipedia founder to fight fake news with new Wikitribune site [More]Here's a test you can do for yourself:
Frankly, while magazine capacity might be an issue for members of law enforcement, it is not much of one for the legally armed citizen. Research into actual gunfights involving the armed citizen seldom shows more ammunition is needed beyond what’s in their concealed-carry revolver. Unlike the Walter Mitty-esque fantasy warriors, the armed citizen does not fight pitched battles with the trusty handgun. He or she uses it as an exit ticket, and it is just amazing what five or six rounds of quality defensive ammunition, accurately placed, can do to change the mindset and actions of a miscreant bent on mayhem. [More]Frankly, you're pretty obnoxious and judgmental, presuming one size fits all for all potential situations. And tell us about all you exalted "Only Ones" and your well-placed shots again. We're the Walter Mittys living in a fantasy world and you, why, you're community heroes!
The withholding of exhibit space stands in contrast to one of the prime reasons for attending the NRA Annual Meeting, the opportunity for gun owners to immerse themselves in an unrivaled gathering of gun industry competitors (comparable to the SHOT Show, which limits attendance to industry professionals and media). Companies gather under one roof at the most highly attended open-to-the-public firearms-related event of the year, each offering their unique brands and services, providing attendees with near-overwhelming selections and choices. Artificially limiting what is allowed to be presented — and by whom — limits NRA member choices. [More]Oh and it's a hollow feelin' when
Three Islamic State jihadis have reportedly been killed by rampaging wild boars near Iraqi farmland. The three Islamic State militants were cut down by the feral boar known to inhabit Kirkuk in the the al-Rashad region, a local news site claims. They attacked the militants and left three killed, Iraqi News reports. [More]While this sounds like the type of hoax story you'd read on The Onion, a spokesman for the boars confirmed the kills:
“After Trump was elected, I spent days just weeping,” explained the professor. [More]Now there's a male role model for ya.
“They are not police officers. They are given limited police authority,” Quinn said. “They’re not supposed to take them off mall premises, not unless they’re given some authority other than what they’re given by their license, no.” [More]So would you call that a reversal of "snatch and grab"?
King, co-host of "CBS This Morning," went on a star-studded vacation with the former president and first lady, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and her best friend Oprah Winfrey on billionaire David Geffin's 138-meter luxury yacht, called the Rising Sun. [More]Not that this would ever affect her objectivity...
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday the United States would honor a controversial refugee deal with Australia, under which the United States would resettle up to 1,250 asylum seekers, a deal President Donald Trump had described as "dumb". [More]Why?
“Randazzo held a position with the sole purpose to serve and protect the people of this city. Instead, he targeted certain women, persuaded them to sexually abuse their children and had them send him pictures and videos of the acts,” said Special Agent-in-Charge Melendez. [More]If you want to know why he got to carry a gun in New York City and you don't, here's proof positive ordinary people like you and me just don't have the experience that makes a professsional so special -- or the connections to so many Demanding Moms.
A federal air marshal on a transatlantic flight left her loaded service weapon in the airplane’s bathroom, where it was discovered by a passenger who gave it to a crew member before it was returned to the federal agent, CNN has learned. [More]I think I've figured out one reason why you and I can't carry in the UK, in transit and in New York City while Wipeolina here can -- we have absolutely no experience with this kind of thing, so it's best left to the professionals.

That said, enough clues exist to speculate that banishing USCCA may have something to do with NRA recently launching very similar insurance products competing with those offered by USCCA. [More]Join us-- that is, unless we won't let you.
The message here is we can’t stop such an attack, we can do nothing when one is in progress, and the best we can hope for is to do what we can to keep victims from bleeding out before the ambulances arrive. [More]Because to do anything more would make them ammosexuals and xenophobes.
Google is a monopoly — and it's crushing the internet [More]It also removed my Virginia Tech AmmoLand article from its news feed. Ah well -- knowing me, it was probably "fake news" anyway.

If you’re a violent criminal in Northern California, Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen has your back. Rosen has implemented a new office policy requiring prosecutors to “plead down” violent felony cases that may lead to a criminal being deported.

"A lot of people who are right to carry people try to say I'm anti-second amendment ..." [More]No, you're the one saying that.
Like it or not, the Courts have the final say whether you have gun rights or not. [More]What a crock of preemptively-surrendering defeatist scheiße.
Breathalyzer officer fired after showing up for work drunk... [More]Hey, if you want a job done right, give it to someone with experience. Besides, he just wanted to stagger home at the end of his shift.
