Friends Raising Funds for Ailing Gun Rights Activist Vanderboegh

Understanding that no activist can take the hard line Mike has without ruffling feathers and making enemies — including within the Second Amendment community — the appeal was specifically made to those who consider themselves his friends, and to readers who have received value from his work. As such, Mike’s readers are not being asked for charity — they’re being asked to make gratitude offerings acknowledging that they have regularly personally benefited from Mike’s work. [More]

I'm continuing to do what I can to spread the word about Mike's plight. It's the least anyone who considers him a friend can do.

Just Do It

Given that a hypothetical American, who is underage, has been convicted of a gun crime, has restraining orders out against him, and is on a terror watchlist could go online and have an assault rifle shipped to his door without incident... [More]

Stop right there.

OK, George Zorniuck and your editors at The Nation-- do exactly that.  Show us what you claim is true.

Not All as it Seems

According to Chief Briels these men posing as “militia” were the FBI. Chief Briels was so upset he has just resigned as the county Fire Marshal. He has gone public with this information. [More]

It makes it fair to wonder if anyone else might be doing that...

Making the Grade

As a congressman, I had an A and most of the time an A+ rating with the National Rifle Association. That has been my position and it is my position,” Strickland said during the March 10, 2015, interview with local WOSU radio when asked by a listener about his support for President Obama, a strong proponent of gun control measures. [More]

That alone should make it an "F."

Sign of the Times

Was it intentional noncompliance, as implied, or can we expect the employee to be fired?

Either way, the gun-grabbers, including Chi-Town's "Reverend" Snuffy Pfleger, would rather the employee had been killed than armed.

Speaking of Snuffy:

Last Night, a young man who like ALL of us has a sorted past was murdered at 79th Laflin. He was trying to turn his life around. 

Let me guess: An "aspiring rapper"? And did you mean "sordid," Snuffy?

O’Reilly ‘Reasonable’ Gun Law Bluster Doesn’t Factor in Principled Defiance

“If you are paranoid and believe the government is stockpiling information so they can come to your house and take your guns, that’s your problem,” he sneers. “Your problem.” [More]

The pinhead's “reasonable” gun laws are to the left of what Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg will admit to wanting.

It Never Rains, It Pours

Michael W. Dean has problems of his own, and some pretty severe ones from the looks of things. [More]

If you know who he is, then you know if you've received value from his work, and you know what to do.

If you don't, you can pretty much see my interactions with him here and here, and see my review of his book here. You could always buy or watch something you will get value from.  At the very least, what'll it cost you to spread the word?

No, this isn't turning into The War on Life's Setbacks. I just happen to believe that faithful allies deserve consideration, and the market for meaningful freedom -- the kind that comes with weighty responsibility -- appears to be in a bit of a slump compared to the market for vain, trivial and preponderantly destructive distractions.

Learning Their Lines

Among the stars who dutifully relayed the messages to their followers were Ashton Kutcher and Mark Ruffalo, who tweeted “@POTUS is taking steps to keep guns out of the wrong hands through background checks... [More]

What a Total Amnesty Con Job

Those proffering this deceptive Neocon establishment pathway to citizenship crap still haven't provided any verifiable data to show their little genius plan won't work overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats. [More]

Yeah, if you want to lose both houses, the presidency and the federal courts within 20 years, listen to the cheap labor guys.

Ready. Aim. Manipulate.

The real thing is never scripted out with rules and caveats and disparities like this. [More]

Case in point-- attackers typically don't have 21 years of SWAT experience. Plenty have not had body armor to necessitate a head shot rule.  And let's see how average "Only Ones" would fare.

Just because you can get one scenario to trend in the way it's being steered doesn't mean all will go that way, and certainly does nothing to negate the fact that with a choice comes a chance.

But the average ignoramus just seeing this will be going "See? SEEEE...???" just like he -- or "reporter" Brett Shipp -- is now some kind of authority.
