Illinois legislature holding surprise Sunday gun ban amendment vote

“This is outrageous even for Illinois; they have no respect for the people!” an activist source informed Gun Rights Examiner. “They are doing this to minimize any effort to rally support against the Gun Ban Bill/Amendment, even the NRA/ISRA lobbyist must make a special trip back to Springfield.

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report passes on an urgent alert requiring immediate action. Please take a moment to share and help.

Dangers of Gannett’s ethics violation outing gun owners continue to emerge

“I don't know exactly what he did, but apparently there are a bunch of very nasty people who are very angry with him,” Krafft continued. “The kind of nasty who don't see it as overkill to rape and murder a man's family in front of him before they necklace him. His telephone, cars and home are all listed in his wife's maiden name, and he has worked very hard to stay off the radar. But, unsurprisingly, he has a gun permit and your White Plains paper just put his name and address out on the internet for anyone to see.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering follows up on an ethics complaint.  You can join in too, you know, and I rather wish you would, if for no other reason than to tell some fascist Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists what you think of them.

No Harm, Foul

Police say King wasn't disorderly, threatening or trying to prove a point. He merely had the gun with him when Turkeyfoot Valley Area school employee noticed it. [More]

So can we expect Howard Kurtz and Greta Van Susteren to decry the snitch and those charging and prosecuting King as silly resource-wasters?

ATF head, D.C. police chief challenged on selective magazine ban enforcement

How about it? Even though Gregory is evidently against the right to keep and bear arms and I’m for it, do my political and journalistic purposes deserve equal protection with his? He made his point, and apparently has been allowed to do so with impunity. If I try to make mine, will I be arrested, thrown in the slammer with truly dangerous criminals, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law for willfully violating the same statute you have, to date, let one of the media elites who favors policies you support skate on?

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks if we can play, too.

Funny What Passes for Libertarianism These Days

Daniel Honan appears to be projecting his own "befuddlement." [Read]

This is what passes for "expert contributors" at Big Think?  This is what passes for big thinking?

"Nudges" from Cass Sunstein? Really?

And as for Holder's plans, Honan left out the key part.  That was a deliberate choice on his part, which is all you need to know about his "libertarian" leanings, "paternal" or otherwise.

If they're qualified to dispense advice used to create binding policy, they ought to be able to tell us what they individually would they be prepared to do if a crazed attacker burst into one of their meetings. [Read]

Attending police and Malloy's bodyguards excluded, of course. Plus the meetings will no doubt be held in a secured location under armed protection, so never mind.

Gosh, it would be easy to issue pronouncements like "These things aren't needed for hunting deer. You don't need a 30-round clip to honor the Constitution."

That is, if you were a career liar and an elitist oath-breaking hypocrite.

I've written about these reports before (many times, actually, including posting documents I've obtained outside of normal channels), recommending that more concerned citizens need to become aware of the existence and value of them, and then demand they be shared by Congress. As is, we're dependent on leaks and activists, instead of having a straightforward path to a work product we pay for.
