Links to Vanderboegh Speeches

[More]

Mike reminded us of this link the other day. It's an aggregate post with links to various speeches he's given over the years, and it's well worth bookmarking and revisiting as time permits.

We tried recording an interview the other day but Skype requires third-party software to record. A combination of factors, including no video capability, sound feedback, it ending up being too much of a strain on Mike, and maddeningly, my own utter lack of experience with controls I found non-intuitive, resulted in no file to save and nothing to share. That was very disheartening, because I thought the conversation was excellent.

I've got a new sw with video I still need to test and if I can get it to work properly and -- only if Mike is able -- we'll try again.

UPDATE: This is what I ended up with.

Carjacking Gone Wrong

A simple errand at the mall turns into a dangerous situation when a carjacker grabs the purse of a woman as she exits her vehicle. Outraged, the woman jumps on the hood of the car as the carjacker tries to make his getaway. [More]

This week on "Stop the Threat"...

Interested in a 3-Way?

[T]he third-party Libertarian ticket has a rare chance this year to be more than a footnote in the presidential race. [More]

Not for anyone who doesn't want to ensure an unchallengeable pathway to citizenship Democrat supermajority within just a few years, with all that means for passing and upholding "gun laws."

And not for anyone who doesn't want to put a demonstrable gun-grabber a heartbeat from the presidency.

So yeah, if you don't mind being the only one relegated to the bottom who gets screwed in the deal...

When It Comes to ‘Gun Violence,’ the UK Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

The other point is, we can’t draw reliable long-term conclusions from short-term trends, which is a matter of perspective, and things are still unfolding. There are those still living for whom European genocide is a personal memory. And there are those living now who may be alive in the future after a comparable span of time. Whether they’re living free has yet to be determined. [More]

What, you mean bubbles can burst...?

What's More Important?

The directed cultural terraforming of the Republic or securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity? [More]

This guy's looking pretty good.

It's past time to Cantor Ryan.

We're the Only Ones Serious Enough

Why am I reminded of this...?

Meanwhile, Back at the Salt Mines

Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio applauded the appeals court's decision on what he called "a common-sense regulation that will help New Yorkers make better decisions and lead healthier lives."  [More]

He's got a point: If they were capable of making better decisions on their own, they wouldn't keep electing control freak overseers.

All Kinds of Possibilities

The Drone Defender looks like a bazooka, but it doesn’t shoot the drone, rather it disables the link between the drone and the pilot. [More]

So "theoretically," such a device could disable the link between a bracelet and a "smart gun"...

FFL Compliance Firm Notes ATF Hearing Assurances Still Need to be Proven

He acknowledged the decision to remove the word “informal” from the regulatory text regarding hearings was a quiet victory. “They would lure people into coming to the hearing and saying ‘Hey, we’re all friends here,’ when that was far from the case. [More]

You mean the word intentionally missing from "We're from the government and we're here to help" is "ourselves"...?

The Thing That Wouldn't Die

The antibiotic-resistant strain was found last month in the urine of a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman. [More]

One question: Has she always been from Pennsylvania?

Listing to the Left

“We’re concerned about this,” said Karen Sheley, the director of the Police Practices Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. “There’s a database of citizens built on unknown factors, and there’s no way for people to challenge being on the list. How do you get on the list in the first place? We think it’s dangerous to single out somebody based on secret police information.” [More]

No, of course the Opposite Day "progressive" isn't objecting to the "No Guns" list.

The Cantara Loophole

I am informed that an untold story behind the #7 top environmental disaster for California is that "the crew had cleared the tracks enough to have the nearly upside-down tanker car rigged up and ready to remove while it was still two-thirds full, but were told to wait as then-Congresswoman Boxer was soon to arrive. After she had arrived and completed her photo opportunity, the crew pulled the car from the river. By then there was little if any metam sodium left in the tanker."

We're the Only Ones Unencumbered Enough

Mother who 'shot herself' dead in sheriff deputy boyfriend's house was actually MURDERED and suffered broken jaw before the gun was fired, bombshell autopsy reveals [More]

It seems there ought to be a Facebook category to update your relationship status to that's a bit more descriptive than just "single."

Montana Political Prisoner

Campaign to get Jake Ryan out of prison. Federal insanity refuses to grant bail to youth who went to Burns, Oregon to see if he could help. [More]

Well how else do you expect the Keepers to cow the rest of us into submission if you don't make an example out of wrong thinkers?

'Only Ones' Take Note

Disarmament of South African Police Service [More]

You think there aren't those here that have similar plans and more? Just because Polyphemus said he's going to eat you last doesn't mean he's not going to eat you.

Thing is, I'm having a real hard time getting worked up over the prospect, and don't think I'm alone.

Unclear on the Concept

A woman wearing a “Stop Domestic Violence” t-shirt was arrested on domestic violence charges after firing a gun during an argument with her husband inside the couple’s Maine home, police report. [More]

What I want to know is why he didn't just take it away from her, which is what "common sense gun safety law advocates" say would happen.
