Notes from the Resistance...
And now the county prosecutor is having to hold another investigation - into the department that seized the knives in the first place. Seems about a third of them had "disappeared" from the evidence room between the time they were seized and the court order to return them. [More]I want to show you something. It's my shocked face.
They were told they had been stopped because the high beams were on...[More]Which explains the need for the overwhelming force armed takedown.
The nationwide audit is aimed at people who own licensed guns, but may have lapsed in re-licensing some or all of their firearms. [More]In other words, it won't do squat against the dangerous criminals who are causing the problems.
This marks the third time in three years that a Racine police officer is under criminal investigation, and all three officers were once part of the department's former "power shift" or fourth shift, according to Police Chief Kurt Wahlen. [More]So would it be fair to call it a "spate"?
This is no different than Fudd gun owners throwing Evil Black Rifle owners under the bus as long as they get to keep their "sporting" arms. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "$ingle issue" organization.
Up to this time, the American officers had accepted the British practice of letting the sergeants drill the men, as it was thought to be ungentlemanly for officers to do so. Von Steuben set a precedent by working with the troops personally. The American officers felt threatened by this practice, as well as by the seemingly unlimited powers of Steuben’s office. Consequently, on June 15, 1778, Washington issued orders to govern the Inspector General’s office until Congress took further steps. The Baron’s willingness and ability to work with the men, as well as his use of profanity (in several different languages), made him popular among the soldiers. [More]
The 34-year-old man, who asked not to be named...I wouldn't want to be ID'd either if I let something this embarrassing happen to me, but that doesn't convince me we're hearing the whole story here--or even a true one.
[H]e was known locally as "the guy with the gun." [More]
FAA Pressed to Allow Drone Flights in U.S.Yo, CBS/AP "Authorized Journalists":
Demand to Open Domestic Airspace to Pilotless Crafts Surges from Commercial, Law Enforcement Interests [More]
Now the pressure's on...I can envision many legitimate uses. I can envision many scary ones.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been asked...
In releasing Kagan’s files Friday, the Clinton presidential library kept under wraps for now a five-page Justice Department memo on the coverup allegations. The memo was faxed to the White House in early September 1995.I see her role in helping squelch his perjury is also off limits.
Releasing it would disclose confidential advice involving the president and his advisers or between his advisers, according to a notice in the Kagan records explaining why the memo is being withheld from public view 15 years after the events. [More]
Authorities say it's a way to curb violence by getting guns off the street. [More]That's "authority" as in "authoritah," not "authority" as in they know what the hell they're talking about and deserve earned respect for their proven expertise.
National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project [More]This takes "The Only Ones Files" to the next level and then some.
Danger on streets as guns proliferate...These must be the same guns that "go off."
The violence caused by those guns became evident... [More]
Bob Etheridge has lost it. His conduct is unbecoming of a member of Congress. It's bad enough that he's joined Obama's assault on North Carolina jobs, but his physical assault on a college student goes beyond the pale.I invite Mr. Thompson to encourage those within his fold to show us their stuff.
Local law enforcement agencies on Friday were handed more than $3.2 million in cash and assets seized from a convicted Akron drug dealer and his associates. [More]What on Earth could go wrong?
The Robinson investigation was aided by his defense attorney, Frank Pignatelli of Akron, who turned state's evidence on his clients after a raid of his home in 2005 at which more than $680,000 was uncovered.You can't have this going on and freedom. You just can't.
Etheridge displays the all-too typical attitude of a public "official" as opposed to a public servant. I can't help wondering if a belief that he can slap constituents around with impunity might be one of the reasons he's big on citizen disarmament, having been rated "F" by both the National Rifle Association and by Gun Owners of America. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows what happens when we don't accord proper deference to our masters.
Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia. [More]
They have it all: Restrictive licensing, registration, bans on civilian possession of all but approved sporting arms... a "Brady Center Paradise" if ever there was one, based on fulfillment of the wish list that group has for all of us. [More]Today's events warranted a second Gun Rights Examiner column.
But they apparently weren't selling to the public, instead keeping things in the "Only Ones" fraternity. It would seem "ordinary" citizens who footed the bill weren't eligible for this perk. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a "members only" resale club...
BROOKLYN, N.Y. June 13, 1778
Americans take Maj. James Moncrieffe and Theophilus Bache prisoners in raid on Flatbush. [More]
I guess a mind not addled by years of drug and alcohol abuse would understand the flip side to that question would be why not just send the guns? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column bites the heads off some anti-gun "researchers."
"I'm not going to second-guess my officers on the street," he said. "Audio and video can sometimes not tell the whole story."Then again, chief, sometimes they can.
Two more Akron police officers are on leave amid suspicion of using anabolic steroids, a department spokesman confirmed Thursday. [More]"Only Ones" with roid rage. What could go wrong?
Four Officers Among Several Indicted in RI Drug Probe...You know, another Mayor Against (Your) Guns (TIE'-runt).
The three other officers were arrested in March. They include a narcotics detective and a former police driver for Providence Mayor David Cicilline (sis-uh-LEE’-nee). [More]
You don't like it, leave. Your parents can do the same if it bothers them. Otherwise, deal with it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at counsel to a hoplophobe that's surprisingly good, considering the source.
Our troops here are in as high health as ever men were, & in no skirmishing during the whole winter have the rebel parties stood before them...not less than 1000 prisoners here; near thrice that number have deserted from them since we came here. Washington's head quarters are still at Valley forge; his numbers are variously talked of from 8000 to 12,000...The Virginians are so tired of the service that the Congress cannot raise men though they are offering 50 pounds of bounty to a single man...[More]
[Click to enlarge]Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic 'spiritual principles' in order to protect the environment. [More]It always amuses/irritates me to see some snotty Brit disparage RKBA.
What do you think contributes more to society? A cutting-edge modern art gallery in one of the most famous and cosmopolitan cities in the world, or a drive-through liquor store that sells cheap guns with no waiting period in Wyoming? [More]Does the store carry cigars?
Police shoot contrary cow [More]Well, I know they were only following established protocols, but some enlightened "Only Ones" have established contented cows are preferable to contrary one...
"I'm not going to say anything further," said Liebman. "You need to look at the education code." [More]I'm not going to say anything further, either, Mark. Your attitude says it all.
What's clear is that the U.S. Supreme Court in the recently decided Heller case has ruled that the Second Amendment does grant the right to bear arms to individuals. [More]Stop right there.
As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876), “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.?
The photographer said he stayed in bed for a while after being robbed, too scared to move and worrying about what was happening in other rooms. [More]And what have we learned...?
What have you ordered your deputies to do should they encounter an armed citizen? When you say your position is you won't allow it, does that mean you're prepared to have your agents use armed force to stop it? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that being unlawfully denied fundamental rights during a day at the park is no picnic.
