“U.S. Court of Claims Judge Francis Allegra [said] his assessment of ATF’s treatment of me was ‘wretched,’ their acts were ‘purposeful,’ derived out of ‘professional jealousy’ and ‘simply spiteful,’” Dobyns told visitors to his website yesterday. “Judge Allegra went on to say that during trial, witnesses testifying for the government had answered questions in his courtroom with ‘less than candor.’ That is a tactful way of saying they committed perjury, or for the rest of us laymen -- they lied.” [More]This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the more things are represented as changed, the more they have stayed the same.

Dobyns case highlights continued ATF failures, corruption and abuse
We're the Only Ones Suppressing Evidence Enough
A bill drafted by the Fraternal Order of Police would force investigators to throw out any evidence of police brutality, corruption, racial profiling or other serious abuses if they made even a technical mistake while looking into suspected wrongdoing. [More]And we all know how seriously the FOP leadership takes its oath regarding the Second Amendment.
As do bill sponsors Frosh and Dumais, two police state-enabling fascists in the finest "progressive" tradition.
That's pretty bad when even the WaPo is against it. Part of me wouldn't mind seeing the bill pass-- the part that thinks we're not going to vote our way out, so we might as well let "Authoritah" accrue as many bitter enemies as the proclivity for corruption, abuse and brutality can make...
Come on, Marylanders: Nothing is too good for our Community Heroes!
Or do you want to do this the hard way?

Knox Knox. Who's There?
Comment poster "Free Forester" just left this under my "Mr. Spox" post from 2010:
I'm posting your comment here instead of there because it's very rare that someone goes back and reads blog posts from three years ago. If Kurt hadn't just linked to that old post, it would have remained buried. I'd expect someone who established a blog in 2007 to realize that, but then again, looking at your content, I guess not.
The other reason your comment doesn't qualify for posting there is I do not let my articles get hijacked. I said nothing about the Knox family and neither did any of the other comment posters. They were not the topic of the conversation I was inviting readers to have. If you have an axe to grind with them, tell them, not me, or if you are going to tell me, do it on a post related to them.
As a personal aside, while I value appropriate anonymity and am well aware of "Publius" and other even more needful examples, if I'm going to make public statements critical of others, I don't hide behind a screen name. I guess that colors how I perceive people who do.
Like son, like father. I was on the same old merry-go-round with Neal Knox two decades ago. The NRA has an abysmal track record when it comes to liberty, and the Knox family, for all the talk of the "Knox Rebellion", are traditional water-bearers for the Necrotic Republican Apologists. NRA-ILA started out as compromisers and mutated into Quislings.If I may:

Open Season
How much more are black people in this country supposed to take? [More]Shall we compare stories, Brittney?
How about stats?
What exactly do you have in mind for push-back? Flesh that out for us?
Tangentially-related, I see Google has taken it upon themselves to apply pressure against reporting on inconvenient truths. Funny, how they did nothing about "Spreading Santorum."

And what about the "good" citizens who obey California gun laws? The ones the cops say they serve and protect?Then they realize they actually outnumber the deputies...Then the deputies leave the area because of safety reasons...

That 79% are still for him says much about the quality of the electorate.
S'OK... we'll be universally adding foreigners and convicts to the rolls soon, and "progressive" support will skyrocket. Speaking of the former, check out the comments here.

Gun-grabbing, sex-offending ex-rep Reynolds arrested on porn charges in Zimbabwe
The bottom line is, this convicted felon, a prohibited person who is disqualified by federal law from owning a gun himself, does not trust you with a gun. This ... thing, who based on results either cannot or will not control himself, demands to control the rest of us. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes how much I don’t care that a degenerate scumbag criminal statutory rapist and convicted fraud doesn’t trust me with guns.
Custer's Men Faced Better Odds in 1876 than You Do at this Moment
Mike Vanderboegh writes an open letter to the New York State Police. [More]
It's an important letter. I believe it could literally help save lives as well as help advance the cause of Liberty.
Because of that, I believe everyone who frequents Sipsey Street Irregulars owes a duty -- not just to Mike for providing work they get value from, but to themselves and their loved ones -- to share his letter far and wide. Seriously -- if you're a regular there and if you agree with him and if you still don't do this, I can think of no excuse that reflects kindly.
There's one other very important thing that regulars who get value from Mike's work need to do, and that's kick a few bucks his way so he can keep the lights on. If you're an Irregulars regular, I don't need to repeat how difficult things have been for him and his family as he continues to struggle through severe health threats that would leave a lesser man wallowing in self-absorbed incapacitation. On days that would send most of us groaning to our beds, our friend is out there laboring against the pain and applying his unique intellect like there's no tomorrow -- which I routinely pray there will be.
What he does is a full-time job and more. 12-hour + days are the norm, and he doesn't just close up shop Friday at 5 until Monday morning. And most of you never see what goes on behind the scenes, and what it takes before the finished product is ready for consumption, or what irons are in the fire, all of which demand attention.
Not to mention the personal risks...
As I remind readers when I put out these pleas from time to time, I'm not asking you to send charity. I'm asking those of you who perceive that you get value from regularly having free access to Mike's work to return some value in kind. I suggested some time back that a voluntary subscription of $1 per month is hardly asking too much, but don't let that stop you from giving less -- or more.
There is a "Donate" button in the right sidebar of his blog, or if you prefer, you can send a check to P.O. Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126.
