Notes from the Resistance...
Marbut has written a follow-up piece. His conclusion?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a trust-restoring proposal.
"ATK will need to do more than simply post a statement announcing that it now fully supports a congressional ban enacted last year to forbid military brass destruction." [More]
But the problem with this approach is, ultimately, after appeals are exhausted, all it takes is for the Supreme Court to say...nothing. Just refuse to hear a case without comment, and what's done is done...[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "legal" confirmation of what some of us have been saying for years.

ATK is a strong supporter of our armed forces, the shooting sports industry, second amendment rights and all of our customers who choose to reload ammunition. In fact, ATK is a leader in the reloading market. A dated brochure and presentation have caused confusion in the marketplace and do not reflect the views of our company and will be immediately withdrawn. As a service to our military customers, we routinely handle demil operations for various munitions and respond to requests from military installations for reclamation and recycling of military items. Each contract is awarded through the military installation’s procurement process. The installations received fair value for the brass.[Via Scott J]
ATK fully supports the provision passed by Congress last year to ensure that demilitarized spent brass casings remain available for civilian use.
Maybe if they implemented...oh, I don't know...some kind of gun control...The citywide murder rate has increased 22.8% in the first 11 weeks of the year over the same period in 2009, from 79 homicides to 97 as of Sunday, the most recent day for which statistics are available.
Shootings in general are also up citywide...[More]

Edwards said the arrest was a blow to the department...[More]And they're not the...uh..."Only Ones"...
Those aren't scientists--those are sadistic propagandists.This is state-sponsored terrorism and an act of psychological warfare. And it is betrayal of the worst kind--abusing the vulnerable who are depending on them for protection.Children as young as 10 - including one whose dad is said to have been shot dead - were left in tears as a science teacher was 'gunned down' in the playground.
But it turned out to be a stunt organised as part of a science project at Blackminster Middle School in Evesham. [More]

From the British perspective, Donald Barr Chidsey relays in his book, "Valley Forge," (p. 26) that a reasonably precise figure — which itself is suspect — is a Tory statement that between September 27, 1777 and March 26, 1778, that 1,134 men deserted the American Army and came into Philadelphia. Interestingly enough — only three of those months are part of the encampment. The bulk of these men were men who were formerly from British regiments or had lived in America a relatively short time.

Come and support me at the Second Amendment March on April 19th on the Washington Monument grounds. Let’s rattle some sabers and show the government we’re still here. We are here, and we are not silent! [More]I've seen comments from some of you on other sites with criticisms both for this and the open carry march on the other side of the river.

Police said the resident will not face any charges for firing the weapon, but officers urged him to call 911 before taking the law into his own hands. [More]Yeah. Just who the hell does he think he is?
"The charges are not unexpected, and Mr. Lunsford is extremely regretful that he finds himself in this position"... [More]I'll bet he is.
It's a novel program designed to improve the safety of senior citizens in New Jersey.I see. And I'm sure it comes with a waiver of sorts that if they happen to see anything you might have on hand to provide security for yourself that they'll turn a blind eye?
The program would allow police quick access into a home to help anyone having a medical emergency – without having the break down the door. [More]
One of the primary reasons we have government in the first place is to "secure the Blessings of Liberty." Try as I might, I just don't see "to destroy your reputation, livelihood and life" spelled out anywhere in "the supreme Law of the Land."

By advices recd two days ago from Elizabeth Town I am informed that two Regiments of British and two of Hessians were embarked at New York and by accounts from Rhode Island it was imagined that the Enemy were about evacuating New Port. This makes me suspicious that General Howe is drawing his reinforcements together to attack us before we get ours. [More]
AR-15 owner - If the lower receiver can be slightly modified to accept an ar-15 upper, then I can understand the seizure. You can buy every piece of an AR-15 without a license, with the exception of the lower receiver which is a single piece of metal. If minor retooling makes these lower receivers viable, then congrats ATF, job well done. [From Comments]I can almost understand Fudds. Almost.

On March 24, 1778 William Gallup was made commissioner of confiscated lands. The lands that were confiscated belong to those people who had remained loyal to England during the war, commonly known as Tories. Gallup appointed Matthias Rust and Charles Spaulding appraisers, to conduct sales. They issued the following report: "We, the subscribers, being appointed by William Gallup, of Hartland, in the State of Vermont, to appraise certain lots, or parcels, of land belonging to Whitehead Hicks, (and gone over to the enemy,) One lot, the property of Sturtevant, No. 6, second range, 300 acres, price 6 shillings per acre, purchased by John Sumner and Nehemiah Liscomb." Whitehead Hicks, the mayor of New York, lost about 1,422 acres and the person called Sturtevant about 1,488 acres. From this sale Captain Gallup paid into the treasury more than 1,118 pounds. [More]
