An Appealing Development
SAF, ANJRPC Will Appeal New Jersey Right-to-carry Ruling [More]Which prompted WarOnGuns Correspondent Mike from NJ to write (in part):
So, was on the way out -- I got this email -- turned right back around, went back into the house, immediately pulled out my Credit card, renewed (paid) my SAF membership fee -- and added a donation --- and I will (as promised) continue to do so EACH and everytime I see NJ at the pointy end of the SAF legal action and repeals. These maniacs (Lautenberg, etc.) must be stopped (or abated) -- and SAF has been one of very very few willing, and capable to do that.
Kudos, Mike, for leadership by example.

This Day in History: January 16
The Spanish, who were at war with the British because they had chosen to back the American rebels in the War for Independence, saw the British fleet in pursuit and attempted to retreat home to the port of Cadiz. As they fled, Rodney decided to ignore the accepted rules of naval engagement, which involved two lines of ships bombarding one another with cannon much like two lines of infantry confronting one another across a battlefield. Instead, he decided to attempt to overtake of the Spanish ships by giving orders of "general chase"--having each British ship chase the Spanish fleet to the best of its ability. The British hounded the Spanish until 2 a.m., when the Spaniards finally surrendered. [More]

There are better ways to prevent illegal interstate firearm trafficking. One method is BATF's Multiple Purchase Reporting Forms.Jeez, why do we even need to hear from this lying thug?
Almost 19 years later, Virginia's one-handgun-a-month purchase law continues to serve as a balanced solution to help stem the flow of illegally purchased handguns from Virginia to other states. The genesis of the law was the result of a large number of handguns that were purchased in Virginia being used in the commission of crimes in New York City and other urban centers on the East Coast.Right. Do it for Bloomberg. There's a reason for restrictions on me.
But the thing is, it doesn't do a damn thing. Look at ATF's own trace summaries for VA to NY:

The other thing--being aware and observant of our environment is a cardinal rule of personal safety, which applies to physical safety if you're in the WalMart parking lot at night, or legal safety, if you're in Chicago or New York. It doesn't give a predator the right to attack you just because you have your cell phone to your ear and your eyes on the ground, but it sure does make his job a lot easier, and you should know that and take personal responsibility for self-awareness and self defense. That's so basic it's redundant.
That said, I absolutely support her right to be armed any damn place she pleases without anybody's damn permission. As far as I'm concerned, she shouldn't have felt the need to check it in.

Is ‘Occupy movement' trying to replace Constitution?
Restraints like requiring a declaration of war to commit troops and holding those troops to an Oath-Keeping standard are hardly reflective of “progressive” ideology.
