The junction of Beaver and Broad Streets was the scene of an extraordinary incident, June 6, 1775, in honor of which a handsome plate has been erected at the northwest corner of these streets, bearing the following legend:
...San Francisco Police Chief Heather Fong acknowledged that she has gone years without taking the target practice required for officers who carry guns. [More]But she's still one of "The Only Ones" allowed to carry in SF because the uniform and badge makes her more better than you and me.
Yeah, you're a very responsible and upstanding citizen. But not being one of my specially trained "Only Ones," or fitting one of my other arbitrary categories for super citizen status, I just don't trust you. So I've decided to make your choice on whether or not your life is worth protecting for you.
It's not.
But don't take it personally. And I hope you still think highly of me and my department, even though we will ruin your life big time if we catch you disobeying me.
The only thing that stops me is the fact of being put in jail forever, or having to kill myself, or getting killed by an officer.
A sixteen year old child was shocked with a Taser stun gun by police at a North Carolina school last week for failing to comply with orders to show an officer his I.D. badge.Good life lesson for the kid. When an "Only One" demands your papers, show him your papers.
"America, this is our moment," the 46-year-old senator and one-time community organizer said in his first appearance as the Democratic nominee-in-waiting. "This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past." - Barack Hussein Obama, 3 June 2008

Looks like DSA is calling off the protest this 14th...With that being the case, I'd hang pro-freedom signs from my building so they'd be picked up by any news cameras covering this."After careful thought, DSA management has come to the decision that it is in everyone’s best interest not to organize a counter protest or stage any activity to oppose Mr. Jackson. We feel that this is the best decision because anything we do to oppose Mr. Jackson, his organization,or his protest will simply make it a more news worthy story, giving him more media attention. This is exactly what he wants, and DSA will not oblige Mr. Jackson or his organization. The protest will take place on Saturday, and our company is closed for business on that day. If Mr.Jackson would like to stand on an empty street, in front of an empty building to address issues which do not exist, that is his prerogative. DSA feels that this foolishness is unworthy of a response."
D.C. Police would set-up checkpoints in targeted areas, demand to see ID and refuse admittance to people who don't live there, work there or have a “legitimate reason” to be there.Your papers...
A teacher at Meridian Middle School found a gun clip with live rounds at 8:40 a.m. Wednesday at the school...I know use of that term for "magazine" is considered heresy in most gun circles.

George Lucas has created legendary film heroes like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, but the US director says that in real life, his hero is Barack Obama.What the hell is wrong with these people?
“Watch it,” the heckler yelled, but they couldn’t hear him up on the stage, even though he was in the first row. So he pulled a .38 revolver from his waistband, where it had been tucked beneath his t-shirt, and waved it in the air...Ha ha! That's funny! Imagine a federal "Only One" pointing a gun at a singer as a joke to make a song request! And imagine the anti-gun Village Voice* thinking that's a cool story. Ha ha!
Tony smiled and reached into his pants pocket and flipped his wallet open in Bo’s direction. “FBI,” he said, though I couldn’t see what he was showing. He held the gun steady.
Step away from the sheep, indeed.It sounds like you would know, "Authorized Journalist" Christopher Knight.
A judge ruled that the City of Philadelphia could not enforce new ordinances that would ban assault weapons and limit handgun purchases to one per person per month.But he let stand the criminal stolen gun reporting exemption.
This past Sunday, Pfleger told St. Sabina's congregation that he's received more than 3,000 threatening e-mails – some calling for his death. The messages caused the church to beef up security for Sunday's services.What--did they say bloodthirsty stuff like "Snuff out Mike P-F-L-E-G-E-R?" And death threats? You reported those for investigation, right?
Over the weekend, he said that the days since his Trinity address had been the most difficult of his life, even more painful than when his foster son Jarvis was gunned down near St. Sabina on May 30, 1998.Good grief--literally. It really is all about you, isn't it, Snuffy?
Beginning July 1, 2008, Nevada’s Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) permits will no longer qualify as an alternative to a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). [More]Loose translation in a nutshell:
You're not good enough.Because everyone knows Nevada CCW holders represent a demonstrable threat to public safety, because "federalism" means the feds call the shots, and because "shall not be infringed" doesn't mention imperial mandarin Audrey Stucko not being able to issue "obey or else" proclamations to American gun owners--under the guise of "services."
You don't meet our traditional high standards of excellence.
You will be absorbed.

"We're researching ways to target legitimate dealers who sell illegal guns under the table in stores or gun shows as well as the guy selling illegal guns out of his car trunk," says Jacobs, "because they are just as guilty of murder as the kid who uses that gun to rob a gas station. We must restrict the availability of these weapons by holding owners and dealers responsibility for missing, stolen or under-the-table guns." Illegal guns are destroying our cities," Blackburn adds, "and this is something we think both the NRA and the gun control advocates can get behind". It’s the middle ground of the debate, a perfect compromise for both sides. Look, people can walk right out of jail and get a gun with just a phone call. And as a society, we only seem interested in what happens after the gun is obtained and a violent crime is committed. What we're saying is we have to start looking at ways to prevent kids from getting their hands on a gun, not just wait to lock them up after somebody gets shot."Sounds like you learned quite a bit during your time in the slammer there, fellas, like how to deflect responsibility to everyone but yourselves. We're responsible for you stealing our guns? We're required to report it under penalty of law while you're exempt?
A number of civilians, including a child selling ice water, have been shot dead by police in the Accra suburb of Ashiaman, this morning. Several people have been injured. This followed a clash between the Ashiaman Police and "trotro" drivers. According to an Accra-based radio station, police arrested a driver who was allegedly later beaten to death in the police cells.Mercy!
OKC police chief wants tighter gun lawsOf course he does.
For his part, Patrick Henry agreed that the provision granting power to Congress to call out the militia was a potentially fatal flaw in the document. "In this great, this essential part of the Constitution, if you are safe, it is not [because of] the Constitution, but [because of] the virtues of the men in government," he wryly observed. "If gentlemen are willing to trust themselves and posterity to so slender and improbable a chance, they have greater strength of nerves than I have."William N Grigg shows how the militia of We the People has been replaced by what the Founders feared.
Unfortunately, the 1911 had/has a design flaw that is mechanical in nature. It excludes the use of a shooting method with the 1911 that is natural, fast, automatic, and accurate, and that in turn, may prove fatal to a user.I occasionally need to reiterate that this is a gun rights blog, not a gun blog. This is such a time, and I am providing this link without further comment.

One of Britain's leading trauma surgeons has told how one in three of his trauma patients is now a stabbing victim.
Smyrna gun shop owner Jay Wallace ended his current courtroom fight against a New York City lawsuit on Monday, saying that the trial was unfair and he accepted a judgment against him so he could appeal to a higher court.I was disheartened this morning to learn of this through Bloomberg's press release, which paints a very different picture of surrender--figures he would rely on misleading and omitting important facts to paint himself a media victory.
"I wasn't getting a fair shake here in this court, so why should I continue?" Wallace said after the morning's legal action.
On June 3, 1775, the Provincial Congress of New Jersey resolved ....

Los Angeles County prosecutors won't file felony charges against actor Dennis Farina for having a gun in his luggage at an airport earlier this month.I wonder if they found me with a handgun at LAX and determined it was not registered with the state of California if they'd figure "there wasn't enough evidence"? Particularly if I was taking it with me to handgun-free Chicago.

His arguments in a nutshell: The answer is not more guns, the "Only Ones" are the only ones because they are so highly trained, and armed non-"Only Ones" will confuse these highly trained "Only Ones." Also, all young people are a bunch of irresponsible drunks.Though the deception left some teens temporarily confused and angry, if it makes even one student think twice before getting behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated, it is worth the price, said California Highway Patrol Officer Eric Newbury, who orchestrates the program at local high schools.Government's function is to secure the blessings of liberty, not wake anyone up, and certainly not lie to citizens to achieve its objectives. But good job teaching young citizens to never trust authority figures, Eric, particularly "Only Ones." The biggest lesson here is the ends justify the means, and if cops can lie to get what they want, why shouldn't we be able to?
“When someone says to me, 'Oh, my God, you're traumatizing my children,' I'm telling them, 'No, what I'm doing is waking them up,' ” said Newbury, whose father was killed by a drunken driver.
We are now compelled to raise an Army, which with the assistance of the other colonies, we hope under the smiles of heaven, will be able to defend us and all America from the further butcheries and devastations of our implacable enemies.But as the sword should in all free states be subservient to the civil powers and as it is the duty of the Magistrates to support it for the peoples necessary defence, we tremble at having an army (although consisting of our countrymen) established here without a civil power to provide for and controul them.

The upper assembly of the Fabrique Nationale Herstal SA (FN) FNC rifle is classified as the receiver of the firearm for purposes of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, and the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. Chapter 53.
According to the criteria that ATF applied to figure out the "Upper" is the "receiver" according to the law for an FNC, If the same criteria were applied to the AR-15 / M-16 the "upper" must be the "receiver" not the lower.
Would this impact the NFRTR if the ATF ever does apply the same criteria at some point to the AR-15/M-16?

The Continental Congress resolves that "no further expedition or incursion ought to be made… against or into Canada."
In an effort to crack down on gun violence that last year alone killed or wounded more than 2,000 Angelenos, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and top law enforcement officials unveiled a plan Thursday that would allow officers to evict gun-wielding gang members from apartments and seize their cars.
And we all know "gang" is such a precise legal term that it could never be aplied to "Homegrown Terrorists."
Per StreetGangs.com:
Black Gangs: LA Bloods: There are about 75 Blood gangs in LA CountyIn a rational world, these would be considered occupying armies. For this idiot Villaraigosa to actually think his stupid edicts will impact these hard cases one bit would be laughable if the consequences of mandating good people be defenseless to such predators were not so outrageous. He, of course, knows better, and that makes him an evil political opportunist, willing to crush anybody's liberty if it means more power for him.
Black Gangs:LA Crips: There are about 200 Crip gangs in 21 cities and places in LA County
LA Surenos: There are about 500 Hispanic gangs from the Valley, to East LA down to South LA
LA Asian: The fastest growing street gangs in LA County with about 20,000 members.
18th Street Gang: Considered by some to be the largest gang in Los Angeles.
Up to two-thirds of the people ICE arrests have never received deportation orders, frequently because their presence here is lawful. By ICE's own admission, the bureau has mistakenly detained, arrested, and even deported not only legal immigrants but also U.S. citizens. Those caught up in recent home raids include Adriana Aguilar, a citizen living in East Hampton, N.Y., who was sound asleep with her 4-year-old son when ICE officers stormed into her bedroom, pulled the covers off the bed, and shined flashlights into her face before interrogating her.
Yes, we must address the problem of illegal aliens, and there is no doubt Slate is not the most unbiased of sources. Still, who thinks "Only One" wide net stormtrooping is the best way, and if we tolerate it here, what else might it be used for?

An FBI agent from Phoenix was indicted in Los Angeles on 18 charges that accuse him of having an affair with the wife of a man he was investigating.Some may say he made a mistake, but it's only a boner if it's unintentional. I know he wanted to penetrate the operation and do a bang up job, positioning himself to tail his suspect, but this screw up could really be a blow to all Phoenix federal "Only Ones."
If previous FEMA and FBI lists are any indication, the Main Core database includes dissidents and activists of various stripes, political and tax protesters, lawyers and professors, publishers and journalists, gun owners, illegal aliens, foreign nationals, and a great many other harmless, average people.You know--"Homegrown Terrorists."
“How do you know it wasn‘t a real gun?” asked Guy, a security agent with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, who also declined to provide his last name.
Well, Guy, you could always look at it.

The Canadian Air Transport Security Agency? Is that anything like the WGA?

It was at this point that the second shooter, the Reno resident, produced a concealed handgun and proceeded to fire upon Villagomez who succumbed to his wounds. The Reno resident was in possession of a valid Concealed Carry Permit issued through the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.See, that's why we need to ban guns in establishments that serve alcohol. It does not serve our purpose to limit the slaughter we so count on to advance our ends, and successful armed defenses actually work against our goals.
After further investigation...the decision was made that the shooting of Villagomez by the Reno man was a justifiable homicide...

Snuffy Pleger seems out of control when even Thulsa doesn't want anything to do with him. He starts out doing a bad impersonation of Frank Gorshin impersonating James Cagney. Then he devolves into a cross between Adolf Hitler and Elmer Gantry.
I don't know how much more blatant Snuffy and Trinity United need to get in shilling for a candidate though, in order to get Americans United Against Non-Marxist Religion's attention--or the IRS's.
Any way you look at it, this guy acts like an unhinged, self-loathing white who would fit in great with these lunatics. And notice how hard he tries to talk in a way he thinks this audience will respond to--then notice how his accent and demeanor change when he's got a "mainstream" audience. What a Pfoney Pfraud. And tell me, with his adopting that street persona, he had no idea what "snuff out" meant.
He's crossed the line. I know Cardinal George was afraid to rein him in and demand obedience because Snuffy threatened to take his congregation and go home, but he has become such a national embarrassment that the church can no longer look the other way. Since American Catholics have not done their job to repudiate one of their clerics using his position in the church to spread racist hatermongering and covetousness, it's time for the Vatican to lay down the law--up to and including excommunicating their rogue if he does not submit.

The Lautenberg amendment with the Barr language is strong protection for women and children.On October 12, 1996, you sent a letter to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, claiming you "improved" the Lautenberg language so it could not be struck down by the courts, stating:
Under the Lautenberg language -- which was cleared up through my amendatory language that was adopted -- there was no consistent definition of "crime of domestic violence," and therefore the entire provision would have been declared unconstitutional. My language corrected this deficiency by setting forth the common elements of the crime that would apply to everyone.On Mar. 6, 1997, your editorial, "Don't Wink at Violence," was published in USA Today. In it, you wrote:
[Lautenberg] is important and worthwhile legislation, and we cannot allow its effectiveness to be reduced.Despite the fact you then voted for Lautenberg as part of an omnibus spending bill, there are those who would like to hear your reasoning. I'm among those.

And lookee here--a whole big section on this head case's "acts of violence."

Good grief.
No wonder she doesn't want people having guns --particularly those in her employ. She's afraid they might be just as violent and out of control as she is. Or at least inclined to defend themselves.
Projection seems to be a recurring theme with people who don't trust others to be responsible with freedom, doesn't it?
We’re glad the agency is now setting the record straight and, hopefully, will provide accurate, honest and straightforward information in the future.This is more on the "Always Think Forfeiture" fiasco, and it is unintentionally revealing.
