Senate confirms Jones to head ATF following Heitkamp delay on cloture

A more likely green light indicator may be the National Rifle Association inexplicably signaling their neutrality and the National Shooting Sports Foundation actually backing the Jones confirmation, removing the danger of political reprisals, at least from the two major national organizations wielding commensurate money and influence.

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes "leaders" bound and determined to either betray us outright or to let it happen through deliberate inaction.

Let the excuses about "political capital" begin.

We're the Only Ones Safeguarding Enough

The ruling says that gives police flexibility while safeguarding the rights of lawfully armed individuals. [More]

Abrogating your rights = safeguarding them.

California Attorney General says feds not exempt from state ‘safe’ handgun law

“You might notice, as did the California’s Attorney General, that federal law enforcement officers are not mentioned in this exception!” Michel pointed out. “The ‘Department of Justice’ referred to in this section is the California Department of Justice, not a federal agency. So the AG’s analysis is correct: federal law enforcement is not exempt from the ‘unsafe handgun’ restriction." [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why she's not doing anything about it if she has probable cause to believe current law is being violated.

We're the Only Ones Uncontesting Enough

A Los Angeles police officer charged in May with luring two young girls to his home pleaded no contest today to sexually molesting one girl and attempting to molest the second child, the District Attorney’s Office announced. [More]

Star Jones has a HUGE 'But'

"I support the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. But I'm telling you, the guns, we need to get them out." [More] 

Do these people ever listen to themselves when they talk?

How did one ignoramus get to be a lawyer if she thinks the Constitution grants a right to ammunition? How did the other ignoramus get his own network television show?

Their arguments are the kind I would expect from children. That they're considered authoritative media figures by anyone is simply unfathomable.

The Man from NSA

Remember this guy?

We talked about him here.

He's ba-ack...

And he's our friend and neighbor.

But he'll not get in a shouting match with fools.

Especially the paranoid, arrogant kind.

Does it sound like Bear was shouting?

We're the Only Ones Apoplectic Enough

Police said they arrested Hicks because he failed to follow commands to get out of his vehicle. [More]

What's in a Name?

TPM called Weiner’s communications director Barbara Morgan to discuss an unrelated story Tuesday and she went off on a curse-filled rant about Nuzzi, describing her as a fame hungry “b**ch” who “sucked” at her job. Morgan also called Nuzzi a “slutbag,” “t**t,” and “c**t” while threatening to sue her. [More]

"Progressive" feminism revealed in all it's Opposite Day splendor, from the party of "women's rights"...

Kind of a double standard from when a "conservative" made the mistake of so characterizing someone demanding government-subsidized birth control for her serial casual couplings...

No wonder authenticated slutbags love Weiner so...

Amicus briefs filed supporting AG in Mississippi gun bill injunction case

Friend of the court briefs were filed yesterday in the Mississippi Supreme Court for the case of State of Mississippi v. Robert Shuler Smith supporting the position of state Attorney General Jim Hood. Last week, the attorney general filed an appeal petition and a motion to vacate an injunction by Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Winston Kidd preventing a law clarifying concealed weapons from taking effect. Smith is the Hinds County District Attorney, who along with a handful of legislators and constables, receiving legal prodding and support from the Southern Poverty Law Center, filed the action to block the new law.

This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes all the legal arguments for why an activist judge and his anti-gun political cronies are either hopelessly incompetent, hopelessly corrupt, or both. They just say it nicer than I do.

Controversial gun activist arrested with 'silencer'

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report brings exclusive commentary from Leonard Embody on his latest arrest, along with video documentation of his initial police encounter and detention.

Journalists play same game with Weiner-lover numbers as they do with guns

78 percent of mercenary floozies responding to a client poll by a ... uh... matchmaker website and “78 percent of young women” are two very different numbers, but the technique of drawing broader generalities from narrower samples is familiar to those who have noticed how Mexican “crime gun” numbers have been fudged by the media over the years to gin up demand for more domestic “gun control.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes that if you make your proposition rewarding enough, you can get some people to swallow anything.

Mocek says the man who took the camera eventually identified himself as an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He returned the camera, but Mocek says one of the images on it had been deleted. [More]

They certainly demand their privacy, don't they?  Even (especially) in public.

Look at the way different "services" ganged up and police allowed it to happen.

It's getting to where activists are going to need to wear devices like these for whenever they do anything in public that might attract "law enforcement" attention.

A Political Statement
