Notes from the Resistance...
Bogus solicited only articles hostile to the individual right view of the Second Amendment, offering authors $5,000 each. But word leaked out, and Prof. Randy Barnett of Boston University volunteered to write in defense of the individual right to arms. Bogus refused to allow him to write for the review, later explaining that “sometimes a more balanced debate is best served by an unbalanced symposium.”David Hardy relates Obama's affiliation with the Joyce Foundation and the stunning, Orwellian dishonesty they have employed in the subversion of our rights.
William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"A blast from the past that did not involve real bombs...
The company’s customers include politicians, royalty and movie stars.And don't forget crime bosses.
The reporter should have written “Pistol”. We haven’t carried revolvers in 20 years.So congratulations, Eugene. You join the ranks of France's prestigious AFP and a select group of "Authorized Journalists" for presuming to inform your readership while masking damn near total subject matter ignorance.
A Muslim cleric has called for Saudi women to wear a full veil, or nigab, that reveals only one eye, in order to control seduction...Yeah, shift the blame to the object of your sick fixation, you repressed medieval deviant.
Kilpatrick was driving her blue van in Pensacola on April 19, 2004, with the slogans “Remember the Children of Waco” and “Boo ATF” written on some of the windows when she was pulled over by police for questioning by the ATF.Unbelievable. And unAmerican.
David:I've always admired originality from those demanding to chart their own course in spite of "conventional wisdom." While the majority is picking things apart, trying not to rock any boats, and throwing sand on the new, the innovators push forward despite the catcalls, bringing progress to us all through revolutionary ways of thinking.
Regarding the single shot issue, I have been following many blog threads and this seems to be a common objection. I am aware of both the limitations and advantages to a single shot design as described in the specification document posted at http://www.palmpistol.com/. There are many single shot self defensive firearms and devices which have their place in the market such as pepper sprays, Derringers, etc. Most notably, Tasers, which are quite successful, are also single shot and not nearly as effective as a live cartridge.
The Palm Pistol is not for everyone. But firearm enthusiasts fail to appreciate there are many people, particularly seniors and disabled, who due to physical limitations or simple intimidation, would be unable to properly wield a traditional revolver or semi-automatic.
Also note I am applying for DME (Durable Medical Equipment) coding for the design since I believe this assistive device may qualify as such under CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) regulations. If successful, it is possible some insurance companies many offer partial reimbursement for purchase if the insured is disabled. I don't expect Medicare to reimburse but anything is possible, particularly if an argument concerning ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance can be made. If a DME coding is issued, this will be the first in the nation that I am aware of and I would hope that people who believe in the RTKBA, for everyone including the disabled, should welcome and support my efforts.
All the so-called "experts" insisted the design would be classified as AOW and I proved them wrong. I have learned long ago to ignore the advice of experts if your own logic and research suggests otherwise.

"If Norfolk doesn't begin to get it right, Danladi may wind up owning a yacht or a castle somewhere," he said. "At some point, the people of Norfolk are going to get tired of their tax money being thrown away because the police are violating a basic right," he added.Too bad the "public servants" don't have to pay out of their own pockets--that'd put a stop to it.
I am, therefore, much alarmed for Arnold, whose Expedition was built upon yours, and who will infallibly perish, if the Invasion and Entry into Canada are abandoned by your Successor. I hope by this Time the Penetration into Canada by your Army is effected; but if it is not and there are any Intentions to lay it aside, I beg it may be done in such a Manner that Arnold may be saved by giving him Notice, and in the mean Time your Army to keep up such Appearances as may fix Carleton and prevent the Force of Canada being turned wholly upon Arnold.
Well, the short story is that I found out my National Rifle Association dues were used to pay for a massive swiftboating ad campaign against Barack Obama regarding guns and shortly thereafter decided that I was not going to take it.Tripped on your face right out of the starting gate. If you knew the first thing about what you're talking about, you'd know:
Neither NRA member dues nor contributions to ILA can be used directly for the election or defeat of candidates.You're going to do the honorable thing and issue a retraction and apology now, right?
"In my opinion, part of the biggest issue is the lack of uniformity in gun laws and what it takes to legally purchase a firearm," Murphy said. "It's been fairly well documented through cases in this department that a lot of guns are purchased legally in other states and transported to Massachusetts."Well get with the program and recognize it as a right then. Sheesh.
If you run into one of these cops just comply with everything they tell you to do. Arguing with us on the side of the road will never get you anything and usually tends to escalate the situation even more. If you are treated heavy handed by a poorly trained cop just cooperate.I guess that depends on how heavy handed and how poorly trained.
In his October 5 letter to Congress, Washington describes how one of Church's letters to Gage was intercepted. Eventually Church is tried by several different courts and jailed. In 1778, he is allowed to go into exile. He is lost at sea on his way to the West Indies. Congress passes more severe penalties for treason as a result of this case. George Washington to Congress, October 5, 1775
"As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Bart Stupak has supported the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen, and demonstrated a commitment to the Second Amendment and to preserving our country's rich hunting heritage," said Chris W. Cox, Chairman of NRA Political Victory Fund. "His pro-gun support has earned him an 'A' rating and endorsement from NRA-PVF. I urge every NRA member in Michigan’s First Congressional District to vote for Bart Stupak on November 4th."It's nice to see fences have been mended.
I am proud to pledge my support to Senator Barack Obama’s candidacy for President of the United States of America...I don't know how the group behind this, who are reportedly "spending well into the 'eight figures' -- some have estimated as much as $40 million," to defeat who they predict would be "the most anti-gun president in American history," can present such a glowing endorsement with a straight face--and expect any credibility when they do.
I have invited the Senator to campaign with me in northern Michigan and share his vision for change with the people of the First Congressional District.
If you are an avid hunter and target shooter like me, you should be relieved to know that neither presidential candidate wants to take away your right to enjoy your sport.
Obama and McCain both support the Second Amendment, which gives each of us the right to bear arms.
