Notes from the Resistance...
"People in Arizona carry guns," said Detective David Ramer, a Chandler police spokesman. "You better be careful about who you are picking on." [More]I'd actually recommend not picking on anyone, but I'm coming from a different worldview...
Hi David,You can read what he wrote here.
I hope you don’t mind, I wrote on your Only Ones concept today...
"All of the agents on the stand were confused. Nobody knew what the law was," Pierson said. "How could they hold this man to that higher standard and convict him of a felony when they couldn't explain the law?" [More]Now if we could just apply this rationale to everyone, and not just "Only Ones"...
On September 7, 1778, Blackfish's force arrived outside Boonesborough. Boone counted 444 Native Americans and 12 white men. The former were mostly Shawnees, with a number of Cherokees, Wyandots, Miamis, Delawares, and Mingos. The latter were French-Canadian militiamen from Detroit, former French subjects now fighting on behalf of the British Crown. Although this was the largest force yet sent against the Kentucky settlements, taking a fortified position like Boonesborough would still be difficult without artillery to reduce the stronghold.

Police allege deliveryman was killed for $100, pizzaI like the characterization of these reptiles as "high school students." Make's 'em sound just like Archie and Jughead.
Two of three arrested are high school students [More]
A Diamondhead man who shot an off-duty police officer in the shoulder after the officer tried to stop his wife for a possible traffic violation won’t face charges, the Garland County prosecuting attorney said. [More]You mean he was following official free citizens protocol and got away with it?
Courage!
New laws are the last thing we need--besides, they always seem only to apply to those of us targeted for control, with carve-out exemptions for the you-know-whos. [Read]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows the difference between us and them. At least in their eyes.
How did such a state of affairs come to be?
Why don't we ask that "gun lobby" we're told never compromises? [More]

Lifted like a rag doll and hurled into cell: Shocking video of police brutality... on 5ft 2in tall woman, 59, found asleep in car [More]That's a lot safer than dealing with people who can fight back, don't you think?
Former gang member Reginald Berry Sr. said police would be better off if gang members were given job offers instead of threats of jail time. [More]And just what are they qualified to do?
"Who is a jury going to believe: Me? Or a bunch of police officers?" [More]It is one of the outrages of our age how many automatically default to the "Only Ones."
All we ask is that they register on a government list. What's the harm if it makes the rest of us feel better, and can help the police in their often thankless task of trying to uphold law and order? [More]That sounds like something I'd write if I was trying to be sarcastic. This useful idiot is serious.
Well I loved it, and it left me. [More]WRSA presents a catchy tune with a message that needs to be heard by more.
September 5, 1778 at New Bedford, Massachusetts - On September 5, a British raiding force landed near New Bedford. They managed to destroy 70 vessels and a large number of buildings. Conclusion: British Victory [More]
3 officers resign over allegations of excessive force [More]If they are using excessive force, what amount of resistance would not be excessive?
Officer Waits Weeks To Report Stolen GunsLet's see, he left them in his car to keep his kids safe, but the car lock doesn't always work, and he offered a job to work on the car to two strangers he pulled over, and he doesn't know if they saw the guns, and his dogs were barking, and he isn't sure if the guns were stolen then, and then he left town and...
Constable Dale Selvidge Left Guns In Patrol Car [More]
The name of the involved officer has not been released, but Seattle Police Chief John Diaz did comment on his performance.I'll bet.
"He's considered a very good officer. He has a good record," he said. [More]
Two police officers have been suspended from driving duties after they stopped a suspected drink driver then wrote-off his sports car by crashing through a garden wall. [More]"Only Ones" are the same the world over, aren't they?
Police use helicopter to track man who took kindling from nature reserve [More]I know Robin Hood got in trouble for going after the King's deer--perhaps they don't want commoners grabbing the Royal wood...?
Velte pointed out that "There is no way for a citizen to know who is here legally or not. In fact, under Austin’s ‘sanctuary city’ policy, not even the police officer at the door of the gunshow was allowed to ask a person’s immigration status, yet the average Texan inside the show is expected to assume that a person standing before them with a Texas driver’s license is in the country illegally just because they look Mexican and speak Spanish." Velte noted that the federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona was based on that very type of conduct: Concluding someone could be here illegally based on their looks or their language. [More]Just so we're clear: Every one of us who conducts a private sale is in danger of the same destruction of our lives.
Federal prosecutors said Ronning sold two gun silencers, seven assault weapons and a machine gun to undercover agents and others posing as Mexican citizens without identification at the Yosemite Boulevard business.It looks like they failed at using Mexico to get new "gun laws" passed, so now they're just using Mexicans--both real and simulated.
There is a way to nail both these power-seekers down in advance on how much real trust they're willing to place in We the People, and prove them to be fork-tongued opportunists if they later betray their promises.Why would anyone who is honest and sincere fear that? [More]

September 4, 1778. The Netherlands and the U.S.A. sign a treaty of amity and commerce. During the war, this country contributed by harassing British shipping. Also, between 1780 and 1794, the Netherlands will supply the fledgling American government with aid and loans. [More]
Slavery persists in parts of Mauritania even though it was banned in 1981...Human rights groups say despite official denials the practice continues and is widespread.Human Rights Watch:
In this contemporary form of slavery government-backed and armed militia of the Baggara tribes raid to capture children and women who are then held in conditions of slavery in western Sudan and elsewhere. They are forced to work for free in homes and in fields, punished when they refuse, and abused physically and sometimes sexually. Raids are directed mostly at the civilian Dinka population of the southern region of Bahr El Ghazal. The government arms and sanctions the practice of slavery by this tribal militia, known as muraheleen, as a low cost part of its counterinsurgency war against the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), which is identified with the Dinka tribe of southern Sudan.Guardian UK:
The minimum estimate is that 43,000 people are in slavery across Niger. It is based on research by Timidria, a local human rights organisation, and Anti-Slavery International. The research involved more than 11,000 face-to-face interviews in six regions of the country, constituting the most comprehensive survey of slavery in Niger to date.USA Today:
Poverty has forced at least 225,000 children in Haiti's cities into slavery as unpaid household servants, far more than previously thought, a report said Tuesday.Well--that took all of five minutes.
“Who knows, AnnMarie, accidents happen, they could find you in the back parking lot with blood pouring out of your head.’’ [More]See, I don't think I'd be filing a complaint under those circumstances.
"BSSA testified that 'guns and alcohol don't mix' and that it was OK for officers to be in bars because they are better trained." [More]No doubt.
Boogedy-boogedy!No organization does more to protect our right to keep and bear arms than the National Rifle Association, and when you go against the NRA, you get thumped. Just ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. [More]Yeah, and while you're at it, ask him about that $5K the Fairfax manly men thumped into his campaign treasury, and why they refuse to man up and and endorse Sharron Angle.
One of those mothers is Mildred Carrion, whose 17-year-old son, Roberto, was fatally shot in the head last year as he and a group of teenagers played with a gun she didn't even know he possessed. [More]God forbid knowledge should be a factor in this. I guess the answer is to disarm you and me.
On Monday, Sutton said, she was awakened by incessant pounding on her back door about 8 a.m. She looked out of the window and saw two men and a woman at her back door, peering in her window.HAH! That's all the excuse we need!
Scared, Sutton said she grabbed her gun and held it at her side as she answered the door. [More]
America is responsible for Mexican drug cartels...As to the guns, there aren’t any magic policy bullets, but closing down the gun shops arrayed at the border, possibly though zoning laws, is a good start. [More]"Jacob Bronsther, a law student at New York University and former Fulbright Scholar" said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Interim Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr. said every gun turned in will be destroyed and is one less gun that could potentially be stolen if there is a home invasion. [More]Yeah, Ralph, that's what guns are for, to be stolen by home invaders.
If these gun owners had not shown a willingness to obey laws by registering their guns and getting licenses/permits in the first place, the "Only Ones" wouldn't even know who to invade.
And the arrogance of the legislators in dismissing gun owner concerns is typical of those who perceive a lock on political power. Like all bullies, they love to rub it in the faces of those they lord over who may have the gall to protest their rule. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows yet one more example of what the New York police state thinks of "law-abiding gun owners."
