Notes from the Resistance...
The childish political thought of the Tea Party [More]See, the left uses words like "extremists" and "hatriots."
Tea Party, NRA and GOP to Gain 623 State Level Seats in November [Read]Interesting. I'll be even more interested in a post-election analysis.
Discussing The Right To Keep And Bear Arms [More]Everybody here knows about this guy, right?
Cop, Two Dispatchers Fired for Faking Crime Scene in Effort to Reunite Lovers [More]Good grief. It's like a bad sitcom.
UN: Rich must not cut aid to poor to balance budget [More]Translation: The global government requires forced wealth transfers to prop up corrupt and tyrannical regimes.
[T]he district's policy distinguishes between a Class A weapon, including "Firearms — any kind of gun," tear gas and explosives — and Class B weapons, including toys, knives, chains or razor blades. She said the toy gun was a Class B weapon and not a firearm, which state law describes as weapons that "expel a projectile by the action of an explosive."Well that's very different. And the official reaction?
The penalty for Class A weapons: a one-year expulsion; for Class B: a 10-day suspension.
"The way to avoid all of this is, don't bring what you think is a toy and we think is a projectile."Why do "officials" get away with such arrogance?
Haynes was uncooperative at the scene of the shooting, refusing to give a statement or explain what had happened, according to the sheriff's office incident report...When asked again what had happened, Haynes repeats, "A kid suffered a gunshot wound to his hand." [More]
You know, the gun went off...
It says he's "not technically an undercover officer."Ex-trooper convicted in double fatal crash wants money for his injuries [More]The sisters probably brought it on themselves and then tried to play the victim--it's not like non-"Only Ones" haven't tried that scam before...
Politics, we are told, as if majority opinion is the final determinant of liberty, is the art of the possible. What envelope the safe-players have pushed to know what's truly possible remains unsaid. Can you imagine where we'd be if our history was one of avoiding risks? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column tries to push some buttons in order to push some envelopes.
On September 22, 1778, Gen. Sir Henry Clinton ordered Maj. Gen. Sir Charles Grey, Maj. Gen. The Marquess Charles Cornwallis,and Brigadier General Edward Mathews to mobilize troops in an effort to provoke Gen. George Washington into a battle. [More]
September 21, 2010Also see: "Is Ike Skelton 'a steadfast supporter of freedom'?"
Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to endorse Vicky Hartzler for Congress in Missouri's Fourth Congressional District.
Vicky served in the state legislature from 1995-2000, earning an A+ rating for her unwavering support of the Second Amendment. She is just the type of person we need to stand against the anti-gun agenda of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The incumbent representative, Ike Skelton, has shown his true colors in the current session of Congress by repeatedly siding with Pelosi on issues important to gun owners.
Three times in 2009 he voted against amendments to repeal a gun ban in national parks, while at the same time voting to massively expand the amount of federally controlled land.
And in 2010, Skelton voted for a bill that would strangle the First Amendment rights of groups like Gun Owners of America. The so-called DISCLOSE Act would impose a host of new restrictions on groups like GOA, effectively limiting our ability to hold individual congressmen accountable in the weeks leading up to an election.
Missouri's gun owners and sportsmen expect their elected officials to represent their interests, not those of the liberal House Speaker from San Francisco.
That is why Gun Owners of America stands with Vicky Hartzler. She will oppose any and all gun control schemes that come to the House floor, and she will fight to remove unconstitutional gun laws on the books.
Vicky gets it right when she says, "Only the people have Liberty -- Washington's power is on loan."
GOA urges all gun owners and sportsmen to get behind the Hartzler campaign by volunteering, putting out a yard sign, and contributing to this important race. You can visit www.vickyhartzler.com for more information.
And most importantly, please remember to vote for Vicky in the November election, and make sure your pro-gun family, friends and neighbors do the same.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy

A man is set to have his ninth and tenth children by ten different mothers at an expense to the taxpayer of up to £2 million [More]And "the taxpayer," of course, by and large demanded a system that made this outcome inevitable.
"We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect," it added. [More]What can you expect?
FBI Agents, Including Female Bodybuilder, Arrested For Alleged Steroid, HGH Use [More]"Only Ones" and 'roid rage--now there's a combination with comic potential, as in "Now Hulk MAADDD!"
"I felt threatened by her," said Jones. "She had threatened me and I told the police that. And she was threatening my family at the time of that incident. I just reacted to what she had done." [More]So I murdered her. "Execution style."
RCMP have laid five charges against a Calgary man related to the operation of a website highly critical of Calgary police officers. [More]That would be this one.
"[O]ppositional defiant disorder (ODD)"...[Read]And hey, if you're nuts, why would we allow you to have guns?
Just seven months after the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office concluded a year-long undercover drug sting that nabbed nearly 100 suspects, and six months after his office received an award for the operation, Sheriff Greg Champagne said the District Attorney's office will have to drop the charges against approximately 60 of the suspects because the credibility of the lead deputy in the case has been compromised. [More]Did I already say "Aw go on"?
In much the same way that those with mental problems are disproportionately attracted to the mental health fields, those who have problems with authority are disproportionately attracted to a profession that allows them to exert it over others. [More]Aw go on.
"The thought that a victim's body would somehow be used as a lure ... I don't know who could ever see it as a lure, that's almost gallows humor," he said. "To have an autopsy be used as a premise for a social engagement is just beyond anything anybody could imagine." [More]Yeah, every time I tried to arrange my dates around dead victims, I never seemed to get anywhere.
Former Putnam Sheriff's Detective Mike Hoover was arrested Sunday and booked into the Putnam jail on charges of assault and public intoxication. [More]What--no charges for this?
He had been placed on administrative leave from his job several weeks prior to that while the TBI investigated an incident in which a friend of Hoover's had allegedly used Hoover's service weapon in an altercation.[Via Carl S]
Anybody else noticing a pattern of self-entitlement and refusal to admit responsibility...? Isn't there a term for people like that? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at control freaks gone wild. Also be absolved for revisiting a work in progress.
Sharron Angle Slips, Again Says She Wants To 'Take Out' Harry Reid [More]What the hell is wrong with her?
It used to be a given on the street: Get caught with an illegal gun, go to jail.But what if you're not "a thug"--and who the hell are "Only Ones" to be tossing that term around anyway? What if you're a human being who knows you have an unalienable right to keep and bear arms, that no one has true moral authority to grant or withhold "permission," and that the entire concept of "gun restrictions" against anyone able to move freely through society--that is, anyone not confined to a controlled custodial situation because they have been adjudicated a danger to others--is a fraudulent assault on Liberty...?
But under a new program in Birmingham -- one initially derided by some officers as a "hug a thug" rehabilitation effort -- there is another option: Gun Court. [More]
While people should still act menacing if they see a coyote, they should avoid ones that look sick or mangy, Connors said. If faced with a violent one, you should "make yourself bigger," and "back away slowly," he said. [More]And...trust your child's life in that circumstance to a hoplophobe with an air horn?
Worthy alleged that Calhoun displayed a handgun and forced the victim to perform multiple sex acts, and beat the victim with a belt about her body and choked her. [More]Sounds like he sure knows how to court a gal.
Witnesses Contradict Police Account of Fatal Shooting [More]Well there's a conundrum: who is more credible? Chicago "Only Ones"--or the citizens who vote for Chicago politicians?
World War II veteran Daniel J. Daley, 84, suffered a broken neck and is in critical condition at Florida Hospital Orlando, said his son, Greg Daley. [More]Before anybody jumps in with a criticism about appropriate force and about measured responses, be prepared to answer how else you expect us to get him in a position where we can laugh at him when we dump him out of his wheelchair?
Back in 2009, Cpl. Steven Dickey sued Gannett Co. and Deeson, saying the reporter selectively edited video to make it appear the officer was laughing at quadriplegic jail inmate Brian Sterner when he was dumped from a wheelchair. [More]Outrageous! Everyone knows dumping quadriplegics from wheelchairs is solemn and serious business!
I looked around the room and saw an NRA poster on the wall and several Uzis with full clips lying on a table without trigger locks. I also noticed I had a Glock holstered on my belt beneath the white robe. [More]See, if you're a gun owner and you're not a "progressive," you're a Klansman.
A return to enforcement of the import ban requires no legislative action...So we can just do it. And you have no say in the matter!
Non-sporting firearms are still prohibited from importation under sections 922(l) and 925(d)(3) of the GCA. Because the vast majority of SAWs are nonsporting, they generally cannot be imported.So the only conclusion I can draw is, what...?
On Monday, St. Paul police were once again checking out reports of strange lights when they found Sawka flying his kites. They cited him for disorderly conduct, public nuisance and being in a park after hours. [More]Yeah, it's not like we easily-spooked and bamboozled primitives are capable of looking at it, thinking it's neat, and maybe investigating things ourselves if we're really all that curious...
Put the kite down, Franklin, and come along quietly!
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes that all depends on the meaning of the word "steadfast."But the thing is, NRA's Cox didn't describe Skelton in terms confined to just that one issue. He called him "a steadfast supporter of freedom."
Shall we test that? [More]
September 20, 1778: The title "State" replaces "Colony" in official New Jersey documents [More]
It illustrates a larger theme that, in spite of bowing to just about every infringement the gun control crowd can think up, their hypothesis fails in every laboratory where the experiment has been conducted. Guns exist. To try to limit their possession to government is not only an impossible dream, but where it's been tried it invariably produces nightmares. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column heads across the Pond to Sarah Brady Paradise, and then circles back to American newsstands to pick up a copy of my favorite gun rag.
