Dear all American Brothers and Sisters

Please get rid of these guns.
You are a very intelligent and rich/ educated people, please TRUST IN GOD, not guns.
Do not fear, but analyse yourselves and you will see that your essence is a spark of divinity as you are human beings.

With this knowledge and your other endowments you can lead us to a better world.

You do not need guns.

Because a cop didn't control his weapon.

I typically resist posting on these as "Only Ones" stories--it just seems pointless and tasteless, and what more punishment could a person endure than the guilt that would surely drive a good man to lifelong misery?

Harish, it would seem, is not so restrained in his (her?) moral superiority that never passes up an opportunity to exploit a good blood dance. Nor are Felipe and Ronnie.

I note they're not calling on governments to disarm...

Wizards Locker Room Incident Shows 'Gun Control' Inferior to Self Control

The only things that are clear: Good, rational people don't behave like thugs. The presence of weapons doesn't change that. And rules don't stop rule-breakers. The "laws" are useless at changing these fundamental truths--which means they've been enacted for another reason altogether.

Who You Calling "Extremist"?

The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks extremist organisations, says it has so far counted more than 300 patriot groups this year...[More]

So the Sarah Brady Paradise "Authorized Journalist" wants to call American patriots who believe in the Constitution "extreme," and then tell his readers with a straight face that we should consider SPLC to be "researchers," with the aura of legitimacy and honest brokerage that implies?

Stewart Rhodes asked both Mike Vanderboegh and me if we would talk to this guy--I see he he quoted Mike. He never contacted me, and I also got permission from a militia contact to pass his edress along, and likewise, he was not approached.

Well, Mr. Leonard, had you not been so hurried in your rush to judgment, you might have learned that supporting and defending "the supreme Law of the Land" is hardly the same as being "anti-government." I know you Eurostatists have a tough time wrapping your heads around the fact that an oath-breaking administration is not the same thing...

A Drunken, Lying Slob

That is the only way to describe it. [More]

Yeah, but he's our drunken, lying slob...isn't he?

As I said to a correspondent wanting to know if the dangers of Dick Durbin ascending to the senate majority slot might make me support Harry Reid out of political pragmatism:

I think Reid is a communist and a traitor who does what he does on guns because the political climate in NV forces him to. Anyone who thinks they can make a binding deal with a communist and traitor shouldn't act surprised when they find themselves being devoured.

I'm done with political compromises--that's what got us to this point. Some of us aren't backing up any more. A lot of us. And we're pissed.

I'm unimpressed with the Durbin argument. If he gets in and wants to squeeze harder, I suppose some will obey. Just as some of us will not. Interesting times.

Freedom is not won by those afraid to take risks. And to back Reid because someone perceptibly worse might get in is not the type of attitude that will win it.

We need to look at the totality of a politician's actions. Fact is, Baucus supported Obama. Baucus supported Eric Holder. Baucus supported Sotomayor. Anyone acting like his other votes happen in a vacuum will have no one but themselves to blame when they find they can no longer breathe.

A Fundamental Disagreement

Tennessee State Guard commander Richard Hamblen said it's his Second Amendment right as part of a militia to convert assault rifles into fully automatic weapons. The Sixth US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. [More]

Because "shall not be infringed" is such a squishy and undefined concept...

Per Hamblen in his email to me:

...Point of clarification: ...I did not convert any guns from semiauto--all mine were remanufactured from de-milled machine gun kits. They always were machine guns, always were intended to be machine guns, and were nothing but machine guns, the "standard issue weapon", as Solicitor General Clement said in Heller, of the National Guard.

The whole point is the constitutionality of the NFA of 1934 and therefore all gun laws. The Supreme Court ruled on what is protected by the Second Amendment in Miller in 1939. All I ask is that they honor their ruling and apply it to the law. And if that ruling is no longer correct, then they need to explain, with constitutional citations, why it is no longer correct.

If you haven't been following this case, here's what I've got.

In the earlier incident, he assaulted at least two prison guards at Pinckneyville Correctional Center who tried to get him to remove personal property from his cell. Officials at the time said Cration had "an extensive history of violence, including ten staff assaults and one inmate assault along with five 'dangerous disturbances,' " according to an Associated Press story.
