Forgotten Memo Shows Gun-grabbing Built into FBI’s DNA

Hoover didn't like the idea one bit, and in typical elitist “Only Ones” fashion did what he could to encourage banning “highly-powered firearms.” That’s the gist of a letter from Hoover to Attorney General Homer Stille Cummings dated March 19, 1936. [More]

See the letter and read Hoover's words for yourself.

Who's the Boss?

Move to reform Florida’s concealed weapons permitting pits NRA vs. Senate Democrats - NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer wants to transfer oversight of the program to Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, a Republican. Senate Democrats want to transfer oversight to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement [More]

It's tempting to just ask whose boot you'd rather have on your neck. But the reality is, anyone caught not playing by the rules will be made an example of, so noncompliance is not a decision to make lightly.

Whether permits will prove to be a gateway to "Constitutional carry" or a trap waiting to be closed when the time and majorities are right remains to be seen. In the interim, yeah, it comes down to the boots.

Let Florida continue its "progression" to "blue" and that (and more) won't be offered for debate.

Enforce Existing Wall Laws

Still, Public Law 109-367 remains on the books. And it still calls for a border barrier. [More]

Who are the Racists?

Lets be clear. People from low income areas are usually not educated enough to find jobs/make a living and shouldn't have guns. Why should they have to protect their families if they don't possess things that people might want to steal? Or are they in a war zone and need guns? [More]

I tried to get three successive Ohio attorneys general to address the problem of "Only Ones" getting trigger happy around lawfully armed citizens and got blown off by all -- the last one, a Brady Campaign award recipient but now "a staunch defender of the Second Amendment" has been rewarded with the next governorship.

"Dialogue" all you want. As long as they have "lift a finger and die" union reps, a code of silence and "qualified immunity," where's the "or else" requiring they listen?
