"I did not see any education going on; it looked like it was just fun," she said. [More]

Heavens! We can't have that!

Man, if that doesn't just define the anti-gun regresssive. This old harridan is the embodiment of Mencken's definition of Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. 

They call themselves "liberals," but in truth the gungrabbers are a bunch of tight-a$$ed bluenoses.

On the ever-present other hand, I talked about another report on this story on the radio show yesterday, and one of the cops interviewed said they were doing it to promote "gun control," so I lost all sympathy for their side of things.

This Day in History: August 19

On this day in 1779, a Patriot force consisting of 300 men led by Major Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee assaults the defensive positions of the British at Paulus Hook, New Jersey, now known as Jersey City. Lee wins one of only eight medals awarded by Congress during the war–and the only one awarded to a soldier beneath the rank of general–for his role in this action. [More]

‘Lone wolf’ attack will produce howls for ‘gun control’

We know that the administration is hostile to small arms, at least in private hands. We know that political opponents of the administration are deemed haters. We know that these sentiments are shared by the overwhelmingly regressive establishment press.

And we know that this administration is not beyond…well, ”Project Gunwalker” (and all that it implies) to advance its agenda. [More]

On August 18, a Patriot spy from Bergen Town named Daniel Van Reypen was sent to the fort posing as a Loyalist seeking news. Returning that afternoon, he reported all was quiet, not having heard that Van Buskirk and 130 troops planned to march out that evening to intercept rebels reported in the area. Also unknown to Major Lee, Clinton had sent more than 40 Hessians to bolster the force. The garrison at Paulus Hook could summon more help from New York by prearranged signal, firing two cannons or hanging three lanterns on a signal pole. [More]

The Penobscot Expedition, a little-known event in Revolutionary War history, took place from July 25 to August 15, 1779.

As for the neighbor kid's G.I. Joe? A stake, a blindfold and a Daisy was about the only thing we could figure to do with it that was any fun.

At four o'clock on the afternoon of August 8, 1779, Major Henry Lee, with four hundred infantry and a troop of dismounted dragoons started from New Bridge (now River Edge, New Jersey), on a march of 14 miles (23 km) through the woods to make an attack upon the British fort at Paulus Hook. He detached patrols of horse to watch the communication with the North River and stationed parties of infantry at different roads leading to Paulus Hook. At Union Hill he filed into the woods where by the guide's timidity, or treachery, the march was prolonged to three hours before gaining the right road. The same night, Colonel Van Boskirk left Paulus Hook with a force of one hundred and thirty men to make a raid upon the neighborhood. Fortunately the two parties did not meet. [More]

If ATF can’t tell us what a ‘firearm’ is, who can?

It’s more than just chasing after a rumor, which would be easy to dismiss or just flat-out ignore. A friend of mine has given me a real-world example, and per the concern I expressed yesterday, it involves a completely different firearm and a completely different caliber—meaning precedent has already been established—years ago—to mess with millions of gun owners based entirely on mercurial and mutable agency inconsistencies in application of rules.[More]

Another Gun Rights Examiner column for today...make all the news that needs to be shared stop!  Shoot, it's after 4:00 pm and I haven't even started on my radio show research for tomorrow yet...

Inside the 'kill box'

I think this story needs to go viral, because this kind of crap could happen to any of us. [More]

This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report is a brief one--but one that needs to be shared because it really could be any one of us next.

A Lesson for All

No, we've already learned that The Cleveland Plain dealer is a punk rag--hopefully a dying one--willing to ultimately assign the blame for feral statist pig behavior on freedom. [More]

It's the same crap"Authorized Journalists" are doing with Gunwalker--poor ATF had no choice because of all those darn lax gun laws. 

What to Do if You're Attacked by a Punching Bag

I dunno...[Watch]

Seems to me at this point your defenses have already been breached and it becomes a matter of strength, skill, luck and will. It's been my experience that many fights do end up on the ground, and an attacker's not going to just lay there like a...uh...heavy bag, and what happens next could depend as much on what he does as what you do.

I've never been a fan of one-size-fits-all defense techniques--when the dynamics get fluid, plans often go out the window and what counts is ability to adapt with what you bring to the fight. And like I said, will.

One thing I do want to make clear though: I'm not saying dismiss the video--you may find yourself in a situation where you remember it and it works like a charm for you.   It's always good to have options, and this is one.

Profiling and predicting a leftist agenda in academic papers on ‘gun control’

The three knuckleheads have tripped into a stoogepile right out of the starting gate, and have no credibility for either subject matter expertise or judgment from this point on. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes just because you have advanced degrees doesn't mean you've learned a damn thing.

Today, on The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance Radio

Join me at 7:00 am Pacific/10:00 am Eastern on NBC 1260 AM/96.1 FM, Scottsdale, or click "Listen Live."

Archives are here.  They're posting by the week and replacing the show at each day's link the evening of the broadcast date. Also note encores are being rebroadcast on Saturday.

Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others.  We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message.  Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a  part of it.

Lineup subject to change without notice.

A Journalist's Guide to 'Project Gunwalker'-Part Five

Are .50 BMG upper conversions going to be reclassified as firearms? An Open Letter to ATF

Because this could have such profound and far-reaching effects, not only within the firearms industry, but also among private owners who have been in compliance with currently written regulations, I’m seeking to document if this is true.

Is it? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column tries to see if anything is coming in "under the radar."

No Excuses...

...but nonetheless relevant...[Read]

I see from comments that the source of this link is not universally acclaimed.

I am not in a position to argue about that, just to note that the information appears relevant--so rather than just dismiss it outright due to the messenger, we need to determine how much of it is true. This isn't an issue of making excuses for the mad dog murderer, I think my title to this post makes that clear, but I do believe our understanding the totality of facts is important--particularly for parents who send their kids to camps that espouse an ideology on either side of the spectrum--if for no other reason than to be aware that we now have a real world example of security vulnerabilities being exploited to advance extremist agendas.

I remember the camp I went to as a kid--we had rifle range practice with .22s. I checked out their website out of nostalgia and see it is now proudly gun-free.

McCarthy blames Norway shootings on ‘lax U.S. gun laws’!

Of course this does not take into account that it took police an hour and a half to respond to the shooting—or that citizens and even a policeman on scene were disarmed by Norwegian law.  But that never stopped a blood dancer from stomping in puddles to see how far they could spread the spatter.
