He was among only 36 Americans, mostly young people, whose video clips were chosen out of the thousands submitted.
The Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police promised to crack down on gun crime and stop "brain dead killers" with an additional $26-million provided by the provincial government to hire 200 new officers.Because the "liberal" solution of throwing plunder at the problem has always worked so well in the past...
Despite their asbsurd and tyrannical attempt to restrict the use of images involving their activities and personnel, I have decided to post the first internet photos of BATFU Area Supervisor Linda Young on site at Red's Trading Post.

an offhand comment during a report on the recent TSA report of suspicious

AMENDMENT TO H.R. 3093, AS REPORTED OFFERED BY MR. GINGREY OF GEORGIA
At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following:
TITLE VII—ADDITIONAL GENERAL PROVISIONS SEC. 701. None of the funds
appropriated by this Act may be used by the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to pay the compensation of employees of
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to test and examine
firearms without written and published testing standards.
Provided further, That none of the funds appropriated herein shall be available to investigate or act upon applications for relief from Federal firearms disabilities under 18 U.S.C. 925(c)Why the hell not? Whose bright idea was this in the first place, who wants to retain it, and what is their reason for doing so, aside from their just being jerks?
On the morning of July 27, 1777 a group of Indian allies of the British advance raided the outskirts of the village, and Jane and Mrs McNeil were taken hostage. As the Indians withdrew, they were separated. Mrs McNeil was later united with her cousin, but discovered to her horror that another brave had Jane's scalp.
I want to know why someone from your office was visiting my blog, The War on Guns. If it was someone visiting for personal reasons, I object as a taxpayer having government facilities used during working hours. If it was due to acting in an "official" capacity, I can't imagine why, unless it was in regards to my reporting on BATFE activities. If it was to send a "ping" that my site is being monitored, I'm curious as to what purpose you think that would accomplish--I certainly hope it's not meant to intimidate. Or perhaps it's just an automated search related to "homeland security" based on keywords? If you're interested in that, have I got some citizen militia activation suggestions for you.
I'm going to post this email, as well as any reply (or lack of one) I get from your office.

Personally, I can't see any legitimate reason for ATF personnel conducting a routine inspection not to be photographed.

I will be assisting lead attorney Quentin Rhoades of Montana in the appeal of Washington County Arkansas Militia Commander Hollis Wayne Fincher in the case U. S. vs. Fincher.
A federal agency has accused a local gun shop manager, who is also the Twin Falls City Planning and Zoning Commission chairman, of posing a credible threat to its agents' safety by harassing and intimidating them.
I've been sitting on some facts for a few days at the request of Ryan Horsley. BATFU had threatened him that he needed to cease all blogging and keep their agents and inspectors free from being photographed or observed, or they would go to the judge and file a complaint of harassment. Ryan was in a dilemma--he has been single-handedly bearing the burden of his defense against a fe(de)ral government with practically unlimited resources--yet if he continued to allow his
persecutors to operate in the dark, that is where they would kill Red's.
This is the agreement Ryan thought had been negotiated. This is what our government, instituted among men to secure the blessings of liberty, now demands of its citizens. Except US Attorney Deborah Ferguson and her BATFU "clients" reneged on their promise, and filed anyway after Ryan had reluctantly begun holding up his end of the deal and stopped posting.
No more video recordings of the ATF
No more audio recordings of the ATF
No more pictures of the ATF
No more information being posted about the inspectors
No more publicity
No more blogging
No more letting supporters know when the audits/investigations are being conducted
No allowing supporters to come in contact with the ATF (ie, speak with, video tape, photograph, etc.)
Just to let you know that we got dad to prison on time. I never knew how hard something like this could be. We left at 3:00 a.m. this morning and we told stories, took pictures, ate breakfast and had a good time. We went for lunch and it started getting harder because you knew what was coming next. We cried all the way to the prison. It is not right to take a man like my dad to prison. You cannot imagine how we felt at that moment when we had to turn him over and know that he couldn't come back home with us. We all hugged him several times then watched as they took him away. He kept waving at us till they shut they door. He his in the Minimum Security at Forrest City, Arkansas which is very good. It may be a week or so before we hear from him. Will let you know as soon as we do.
Please remember him and us in your prayers. Thanks for all the prayers and all the help everyone has giving. Thank you from the family of HollisWayne Fincher.
As you know or may not know we have new lawyers that are doing the appeal. They have offered they services for PRO BONO. The only thing is that we have to pay for traveling fees and filing fees transcript fees etc.
We have set up an account at Arvest Banks that you can deposit money into the account. If you electronic deposit or wire money the account the information is routing number 082900872 account number is 0037421461. If you deposit at the Arvest bank the account is under Connie Fields H.W. Fincher Fund Account. Account Number 0037421461.
If you want to send money by mail send to Connie Fields H.W.FINCHER FUND ACCOUNT P.O. BOX 215 ELKINS ARKANSAS 72727.
This Money is for the attorneys. The main attorney is from Montana, his name is Quentin Rhoades and the other attorney's name is Stewart Rhodes and he is from Las Vegas, Nevada. These lawyers we feel are very qualified to handle this case. I know that people have given to this cause before and we thank you but, now we need your help again. This appeal is going to cost approximately $5000.00 just to go to St. Louis, if this goes to the Supreme court approximately another $10,000.00. Please help any way you can to keep your Second Amendment Rights and FREE WAYNE. Thank You very much from the family of Hollis Wayne Fincher.
July 25, 1775...Maryland issues currency depicting George III trampling Magna Carta
In a YouTube video, a Michigan man brandished an automatic rifle, saying “This is my baby. Are you going to protect my baby?”
Hip-hop stars Lil' Wayne and Ja Rule have been arrested on separate gun possession charges in New York.And they seem like such nice young men. If this doesn't prove all the problems in "the community" are the the fault of NRA and suburban gun shops, nothing will.
Winnipeggers looking for an answer to the gun violence that has ripped through the city in the past two weeks will likely turn to the city, provincial and federal governments, all of whom say they are already well aware of the problem and are doing their best to solve it.
One supporter noted that he thought that they would be a little more discreet about spending so much time on websites. The point is not to be covert, it is to let you know that they are watching. This is an attempt to "mark their territory".

The Virginia Convention passes a resolution to cease the export of flour, wheat, and other provisions from the colony to any country.
Two days before a key City Council vote on the way claims of Chicago Police misconduct are investigated, the Daley administration quietly provided aldermen Tuesday with a controversial list of 662 officers with 10 or more complaints against them over the past five years.
But there was a catch: the names on the list -- which the administration has been fighting in federal court to keep secret -- were blacked out.
And in related news, blizzards and snowdrifts have closed down the gates of hell, as I find myself on the same side as Jesse Jackson and "Snuffy" Pfleger.

Monday is your last day to turn in weapons, no questions asked, for cash in Kalamazoo.
The disappearance of 5,000 guns from police and military armouries in Papua New Guinea has added a dangerous element to crime in the country...
From time to time, the police offer amnesties to try to get weapons off the streets...
But if any factory-made weapons show up, such as an M16 for example, some of the lowly-paid police officers are tempted to make a quick profit...
As a result, says Alpers, thousands of weapons stored by the police and military have found their way into the hands of tribal fighters – and criminals...

Noting the lack of uniforms for the Continental Army, Washington orders commissioned officers to wear cockades in their hats: pink or red for field rank, yellow or buff for captains, and green for subalterns. Sergeants are identified by a strip of red cloth on their right shoulder.
The exercise called for police to carry special training shotguns that would only fire blank rounds. But during the training, one of the weapons malfunctioned, and one of the officers went outside to a police car to retrieve a standard-issue shotgun, Ehrbar said.
The officer loaded that shotgun with what he thought were blanks, but were later discovered to be birdshot, which had somehow been placed in the box containing the blank rounds, Ehrbar said.
A rally called "Rise Up To Stop Gun Violence" was held in Hartford Saturday.Hmmm...
The event was hosted by the Corey Forrest Special Life and Scholarship Foundation...
A British Columbia man convicted of using a gun during a home invasion, even though the gun was actually in his car during the crime, has lost his appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.I can see getting Steele on a threat charge. But "use"?
Is the present policy of the ATF nothing more than a foreshadowing of things to come, a massive preparation for the time when gun-control freaks take over the government and unleash their ire on that part of the electorate that fights for Second Amendment rights?
Hammacher has the ultimate Marshmallow Blaster gun capable of shooting marshmallows 50 feet wide. The pneumatic gun features easy-to-refill bolt action for fast nonstop shooting. The gun has a cool design with silver body and red and black finishing.Thing is, it's illegal in California, and probably elsewhere. In order to be compliant with state law, "[t]he entire surface must be colored or transparent or translucent."
Any person who, for commercial purposes, purchases,sells, manufactures, ships, transports, distributes, or receives, by mail order or in any other manner, an imitation firearm except as authorized by this section shall be liable for a civil fine in an action brought by the city attorney or the district attorney of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each violation.
The Marine Conservation Board is reminding the public that there is only one week left to hand in illegally imported spear guns and spear gun parts, which are included under the ‘Prohibited Items’ list of the Customs law.
The gun exchange, as in the past, will be "no questions asked"... no contributor will be asked for identification or anything about the origin or use of the weapon...No questions will be asked. All weapons will be destroyed.
The draft shows the multiplicity of corrections, additions and deletions that were made at each step. Although most of the alterations are in Jefferson's handwriting (Jefferson later indicated which changes he believed were made by Adams and Franklin), he felt slighted by the way Congress rewrote the manuscript. In a consoling letter of July 21, 1776, the state's senior delegate, Richard Henry Lee, wrote to Jefferson that he wished that "the manuscript had not been mangled as it is."
Cherry Valley Police Chief Gary Maitland disagrees with the judge's ruling.
"This is not the Old West," he said. "I'm not advocating banning handguns. But I'm not aware of any police officer who would advocate more handguns on the street. When they start taking their weapons out of their home and walking around with them strapped to their hip, bad things can happen."
These are intended to be model, not mandatory...They are not intended to be treated as the only method of properly instructing a jury.Yet this, in the eyes of those who would rule us, is enough to override centuries of legal precedent and tradition, and the clear intent and understanding of those who established our system of justice.
"I'd like to be able to say I'm shocked, but actually, we are a magnet for this kind of activity," Abraham said.
"They came to Philadelphia to sell because it's the perfect place to dump guns. It's infuriating."
The stun gun will pack a lesser jolt than the 50,000 volts of the law enforcement model, though the company won't say what the power level is. It has a range of 15 feet, half the distance of some professional units.
Certain Drums in, and near Cambridge, very improperly beat the Revellie this morning before day; Although the Troops are ordered to be under Arms, half an hour before day light, it does not follow the drums are to beat at that time. The Reveille is to beat when a Centry can see clearly one thousand Yards around him, and not before.
Larry McCoy, owner of Larry's Gun Shop in the 2700 block of Pleasant Valley Road just off Government Boulevard, said Monday that he sells a Romanian-made, AK-47-style weapon for $400.
McCoy said federal law states that a person 18 or older who is not a convicted felon can legally purchase a semiautomatic assault rifle.
Anyone who meets the federal requirements can be in and out of his shop within 10 minutes, armed with an AK-47-style weapon and bullets.
McCoy said, however, that he will not sell an assault rifle to anyone under 21 because he does not believe a teenager is mature enough to handle such a weapon.
I think it's a fine rifle. I think most people buy them to hunt with, but you can use them for self-protection.
I know some will call to boycott you for your prejudice, Larry, but not me, at least not yet (however, any gun owner reading all of Publicola's post ought to tell everyone they know to avoid Rowell's Sporting Goods in Semmes).
No, what I propose is to actually send more business your way by having someone under 21 attempt to buy a semiauto rifle from you and then sue you for age discrimination if you refuse. Or, you could just claim being misquoted and proceed with the sale. In the mean time, if you meant what you were reported saying, you might want to tell some of these guys you don't think they're "mature" enough to be full-fledged Larry's Gun Shop customers.
As for the other implications of this story, i.e., hysterics over the sight of someone bearing arms, Fits has that covered.

Previous reports said he wouldn't put the gun down when ordered. This report says he never drew it.
Opinions on the official use of deadly force in this situation, anyone?
"The reality is that his right to bear arms was not infringed upon," Simons said. Though Bleiler lost his license, he may carry a visible gun in public and keep a gun at his home.
Gottlieb has called on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to open a criminal investigation.
I understand the motivation to make the antis suffer the consequences of their outrageous hypocrisy, but I would have stopped at bringing the situation of criminality to light. I would not have endorsed any course of action that would have "legitimized" the BATFU thugs or the treasonous edicts they enforce in the eyes of the public.
It's the same principle I've tried to apply to Snuffy Pfleger.

“We’ve spent $70,000 [on legal fees] so far . . . and there’s still no court date,” Horsley told American Free Press on July 11. He believes the ATF and U.S attorneys want to avoid setting a court date since the feds might lose the case and receive unwanted publicity.
Their tactic appears to be: Find clerical glitches, if any, make court filings and exhaust Red’s finances.
“They’re trying to win by attrition,” said Horsley, adding that every legal rebuttal to the citations from each ATF visit costs the store $5,000 to $6,000.
2 of the 100 comments the university received about the new policy supported it.

In an effort to fight the city's spike in gun-related crime, Mayor Sheila Dixon yesterday introduced legislation that would let police - and possibly the public - know home addresses of people convicted of gun violations.

A key Congressional committee dealt a major blow to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s campaign against illegal firearms yesterday, refusing to allow police departments broader access to data that tracks guns sales.
The bill restricting release of the information, approved by the House Appropriations Committee, must still be passed by the full House and reconciled with a similar Senate measure. But since the Senate bill is considered even more beneficial to the gun industry, the Bloomberg administration appeared resigned to defeat.
