Notes from the Resistance...
So will there ever be a change in this status? I believe so but as I said at the start of this essay, it will not be PEACEFUL. [More]A sobering and thoughtful analysis.
The true first responders were the victims... [More]Howard Nemerov makes a great point that bears reinforcing every time we hear the term applied by the media to the "professionals".
"Attorney General Cordray spoke to his contacts at the NRA who told him the congressional leadership had already decided not to renew the ban and, therefore, our advocacy was not needed at that time" [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner gives an answer to a question asked several months back.
From various accounts, I am convinced that the Enemy are upon the point of making a grand effort upon Fort Mifflin, a person in confidence of one of their principal artificers, thinks it will be to day or to morrow. No time is therefore to be lost in making that Garrison as respectable as your numbers will admit, for should the attack commence before they are reinforced, it may probably be out of your power to throw them in. I think you had for the present better draw all the Continental Troops into or near Forts Mercer and Mifflin, and let what Militia are collected lay without, for I am of opinion that they will rather dismay than assist the Continental Troops, if shut up in the Forts.

Dugas said the ongoing investigation has thus far unearthed wrongdoing involving bribery, prostitution, drug offenses and domestic violence. [More]The good thing is, it's Baton Rouge, so as far as "Only One" baton rogues go, we can be pretty confident it's only a few bad apples and ought to be a pretty easy fix...right?
The Portland police union lashed out Wednesday against a city commissioner for his recommendation that two officers be suspended without pay in the death of a mentally ill man. [More]Yeah, I mean, WTF?
Norman Wolfinger, the state attorney in Brevard County, said in a letter to the Legislature that while there isn't enough evidence to convict Dillon again, lawmakers should consider that his innocence isn't proven, either. [More]Wow, Norman...where to begin with you...?
Brazen bank robbers on the loose, FBI seeks public's help [More]In New Jersey?
Local law enforcement officers are flummoxed by “murky, confusing and vague” rules governing medical-marijuana production and are looking to the state legislature for clarification... [More]See, if we start with the assumption that the purpose of government is to "secure the Blessings of Liberty," a lot of the confusion--as well as resulting "Only Ones" problems--just kind of goes away.
Congress has been debating a law that would legalize the possession of firearms on college campuses for individuals with concealed weapons permits. [More]Aside from the obvious fact that the disjointed ramblings sound like those of an ignorant child, and that being made fun of because you're fat or redheaded means you can't be trusted with a gun, there's this little matter, which I called to the attention of the editors:

Remarkably, Stoddard then removes a document from the file and hands it off to another deputy, who then leaves the courtroom with it. They don't even bother to inform Cuccia, who has her back turned the entire time. The judge appears to have missed the incident as well.Document control, "Only Ones"-style...
