What would you do with $40? Obama asks for pictures
Well, OK then. The picture’s right there accompanying this article. $40 would let me get a couple more magazines, or several boxes of 7.62x39 FMJ ammo. And while the gun is unarguably one the administration doesn’t want me to have, it is, regretfully, not one that their “Justice Department” had walked down to Mexico—I say “regretfully,” because in my hands it would not be used to victimize innocents. Still, I did try my best to be a "gun felon" and make sure it was “illegal”—for several years. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column points to an opportunity to let our president hear our voices, see our faces, and get to know us all a lot better.
You don't think you're not already on the list, do you?

Voice of Freedom is Hardly Free
It's funny, how some disparage smaller groups raising funds as something to be dismissed with contempt. What I'd like to know is how they're going to use this to "defeat anti-gun politicians" when general funds can't be used for PVF.
Hell, for just the cost of one dinner ticket, you could buy Vanderboegh a round trip to DC for the next round of hearings.

See, if it were only "a few bad apples," his partner would have stopped him right there and arrested him--or at least reported him afterward. But instead, this type of evil is systemic, and unless caught and exposed by outsiders, is just the way things are. I'll bet if the partner had done the right thing, his life would have been made hell--if not actually put into perpetual danger. [Watch]
And here's the other thing: Once this badged thug made it clear he was prepared to commit perjury to take away a citizen's freedom, with the understanding that he would kill the detainee if he resisted, all bets are off: the victim would have been perfectly within his rights--legally and morally--to use lethal force against anyone using terrorist threats and attempting to kidnap him--and that includes using it against their violent criminal accomplices.

The Chicago Way
A charter network praised by Mayor Rahm Emanuel for its academically competitive schools is charging students $5 for minor disciplinary infractions like having untied shoelaces, bringing chips to school or dozing off in class. [More]Might as well get a jump on teaching them their function and place in the "progressive" scheme of things...
Is John Boehner impeding Fast and Furious investigation?
“I am not responsible for others who take my stories and rewrite them with their own spin. I am responsible for what I write. As I told Workman, I stand by my sources. I still do,” Vanderboegh responded in a post this morning. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report offers the way to resolve all doubts.
The Gun Control Mentality

The national socialists love faith-based know-nothing followers like this--they enable everything. And when it comes time to accepting responsibility for the destruction, they know nothing.
The Deadly Weapon Loophole

We're the Only Ones Kind of a Drag Enough
The Culpeper woman fatally shot by a local police officer Thursday morning had closed her driver's side window and was dragging the officer alongside her as she drove away, according to new information from the Virginia State Police. [More]That would be the woman whose neighbor described her as "really nice, and always smiling and laughing with you."
Thing is, her husband says "his wife's car had no power windows."
And a witness says it didn't happen the way police are claiming:
He describes an encounter which looked and sounded like the officer shooting a person a point blank range, not because he feared for his life, but because the woman did not obey his order to stop rolling up the window.
Funny--we know the child-loving Sunday School volunteer victim's name, her husband's name, the witness's name...but we still don't know "the officer's" name...that must not be in the public interest to disclose.

We're the Only Ones Checking Out Enough
Veteran officer becomes fourth NYPD cop to commit suicide in less than a month [More]Something to remember when the antis use suicide as a reason to disarm those of us who aren't "Only Ones"--we just plain folks have a markedly lower rate than the "professionals."
How interesting: This study tells us "California, New Jersey and New York led the nation in police suicides both years."That's three out of the top four Brady Campaign state ranking winners.
I wonder if there's some kind of freedom corollary that contributes to this...? Because it seems the government "solution" of ratcheting up the controls is producing the opposite of the desired effect...
What the U.S. Should Do
At the February PrepCom, the U.S. must do all it can to ensure that the rules of procedure do not allow the July conference to depict the U.S. as the sole obstacle to consensus or permit the conference to jump the tracks and adopt an ATT by majority vote. [More]Really? That's the best you can come up with, Ted R.

Dealing with violent mentally ill shouldn't include citizen disarmament
And what about for the rest of us, as those contracted to protect “society” against violent offenders decline to take on the task of keeping the deranged ones isolated from those of us forced to pay for “public safety”? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at a "professional" violence-reduction policy that is insane.
We're the Only Ones "Only One" Enough
If additional people are armed, law enforcement will be delayed from reaching the active shooter and possibly target armed but innocent students.Meaning these three oath-breaking badged stooges oppose your being armed anywhere, because the same "logic" would have to apply.
In addition, having armed but untrained students and visitors who are unaccustomed to being in life-and-death situations may well result in those individuals shooting at one another rather than the active shooter or accidentally injuring or killing bystanders. [More]

Yes, We Have No Bananas*
"There is more control on the selling of bananas than there is on conventional arms," said Zobel Behalal, peace and conflicts advocacy officer for CCFD-Terre Solidare, a French-based Catholic NGO. [More]Ah, those slippery global violence monopolist rights-peelers.
Speaking of slippery violence monopolist rights-peelers, check out the assault Banana.
That adds a new level of "eeewww" to "I can't hear you--I have a Banana in my ear."

A Ludicrous Comparison
Rae said that Miller's comment takes the debate to a terrible low. "It's a ludicrous, ridiculous, cheap, horrible comparison." [More]Yeah, Alfred Flatow would be offended!
I always thought most who invoke "Godwin's Law" use it as a mask to hide their true faces and to derail further analysis of their agendas. Ain't nothing wrong with calling national socialists exactly what they are--matter of fact, to not do so let's them ultimately get away with murder.
Moral Turpitude
Morality enters the picture because when a defendant takes the stand, state law allows prosecutors to offer evidence that the defendant was previously convicted of crimes involving “moral turpitude,” which is legalese for conduct that’s inherently depraved. The court said both of Gabriel’s past crimes fit that description.Unless, of course, you're the "Only Ones" enjoying a monopoly of violence. Say, aren't the regressives the ones who tell us you can't legislate morality--at least when it serves their agenda?
California has outlawed assault weapons because they’re used for crimes, not hunting or recreation, the court said, and Gabriel should have known that the gun he was convicted of possessing was “partiuclarly [sic] dangerous to human life.” [More]
Talk about inherent depravity!
Pssst....hey, kids: Wanna see me committing an "immoral" act with two other guys?
What Would Happen...?
But what would happen if National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea and fellow bloggers publicly exposed the ATF's Project Gunrunner and its offshoot, Operation Fast and Furious? [More]

Houston Defensive Gun Use Story Gives Several Lessons that Fly in Face of “Conventional Wisdom”
"Conventional wisdom” says dial 911 and let the police handle things. That, perhaps, is the most chilling thing about this story, as we learn from her 10-year-old son:She had several chances to act like an anti-gun ungulate.
“I started calling 911. I called five times. They kept hanging up on me” [More]
Thank goodness she had better sense.
NBC News ignores Gunwalker, continues anti-gun propaganda agenda
So leave it to “Today” to send “national investigative correspondent” Jeff Rossen to Phoenix of all places, and rather than say word one about Gunwalker, instead perform the same sham straw purchase media stunt that’s already gotten no traction when unabashed anti-gun activists pulled it. And note they always do it where it’s nice and safe, and no real illegal transfers actually get recorded, as opposed to going undercover where they’ll meet real “dangerous criminals” and terrorists, like on domestic urban gang turf, or better yet, in Ciudad Juárez. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at what NBC expects us to swallow.
Madonna Stalker Escapes from Mental Hospital
She has plenty of armed security.
Not that she wants you to have it.
Fortunately, she does give us tips on how to just give them what they want.
And what we need.
I'd link you to the NRABlacklist.com website to see her fellow flaming media pigs, but after getting plenty of free press bragging about how "incredibly successful" the effort was, they allowed the site to go belly up with no fanfare, and now you can only access it via The Wayback Machine.
Still, if the psychotic nutjob does somehow manage to get her stalker alone (what, you didn't think I was talking about him?), I imagine she "will be swift and merciful."

Unintended Consequences of Snotty Ignorance
That left cities across the state scrambling to repeal everything that even smelled like a law restricting firearms. Lake County, for example, repealed a law banning firearm advertisements in its parks. [More]Lauren Ritchie lays down the stupid.
Just so we're clear: They want "home rule" to restrict more than just the Second Amendment. The only time they cede to preemption is when the edicts serve Leviathan.

But that's fine, don't harvest alligators--that'll sure protect those toddlers and Jack Russell terriers...
Is the NRA's Electoral Power a Myth?
Provocative! [More]
Well, gee, Paul Waldman, I realize we don't have to lie about the huge grassroots support folks like the Bradys, VPC and CSGV would have us believe they enjoy, and I realize they have the advantages of administration lawbreaking, media sabotage and foundation funding to advance their agendas, but what you seem to be forgetting is the simplest of ultimate realities:
We will not disarm. And by "we" I mean "enough."
But you continue provoking, and believing you matter.
Cert Denied
Even though the Supreme Court requested a response to the Delacy petition from the government in October 2011 - an unusual move that shows the high court had unusual interest in the case - Delacy ended up being another in a line of recent Second Amendment-related cases which the Supreme Court declined to accept for review. [Read]And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all the court has to do to maintain the status quo of "existing gun laws":
Back in 2005, I wrote the following on my WarOnGuns blog, predicting what the likely outcome of a Second Amendment case would be:It's up to us to provide the "or else." Aside from a handful of dissident fringe lunatic "principles freaks" like yours truly, our recognized "leaders" with actual reach seem seem bent on everybody marching in the Big Mitt Parade--and we know what kind of judges he'll pick.
“I believe the court will not dare say there is no individual rkba. But if they find there is one, it will be so heavily burdened with ‘reasonable restrictions’ as to ensure the status quo. They’ll never admit the truth unless someone, that would be us, has enough power to compel them.”
This Day in History: February 10
It is possible you may have heard, that in the course of last summer an expedition was meditated, by our Colonel Clarke, against Detroit: that he had proceeded so far as to rendezvous a considerable body of Indians, I believe four or five thousand, at St. Vincennes; but, being disappointed in the number of whites he expected, and not choosing to rely principally on the Indians, he was obliged to decline it.

And then there's this revealing sentiment:
Dude, this ain’t Wyoming.See, he's not only smarter than us, he's also more sophisticated!

You Can Never Have Enough "Gun Control." Never.
According to reports, it is not clear whether the arms shipment to Nigeria was on behalf of the Nigerian government or by private organisations or individuals. The volume of the cache would suggest that the government had something to do with it. But it is disturbing that neither the Ministry of Defence nor the army headquarters has made any categorical statement on the matter. [More]Gee, where have we seen those types of concerns raised before?
[I]t is another indication that arms importation into Nigeria is not sufficiently regulated. The laws guiding its effective control also appear to be loose as compliance to them is doubtful.Dang--Democrat talking points, right on cue!
With the predictable results!
Still, Goodluck on finding a permanent director!
Shared Values
“This bill eliminates Virginia’s only practical law that attempts to limit bulk purchasing of handguns for use by traffickers, who buy guns here in Virginia and sell them illegally all over the country,” Favola said. “This legislation affirms our shameful reputation as a gun-running state.” [More]In other words, she's "championing the progressive values we share."
All the most successful progressives share them, you know.
It's OK When THEY Do It
“What this is, is a slippery slope of the gun lobby trying to eventually do away with any permit system,” Malte said. [Read]Damn right, Brian. We don't need your damn permission. At least we're honest enough to admit it.
Funny though, how when the "slippery slope" is tied to your steady attempts at erosion, you fear, distrust and suspicion-gripped projectionists can't howl "Paranoid!" fast enough.
For the Children
Firearms pervade our culture; they make some people feel secure and others afraid. Many people have no interest in owning (much less firing) one. And we'd rather not live near a commercial establishment that supplies folks who do. [More]So there.
Good grief, a business jumps through all the hoops required by frickin' New Jersey, for cryinoutloud, and that's still not good enough for children's book author DyAnne DiSalvo.
Can't have merchants in Merchantville--at least ones DyAnne deems unsuitable.
This is disgusting on so many levels, not the least being the treacly empathy exuding from sob sister Kevin Riordan, who really needs to wash this off and pop it back in. Funny--the article doesn't invite comments...but at least there's some truth in the "More Like This" sidebar link section: Those articles are blatantly anti-gun, too.
Figures a "progressive" author who's offended by freedom would feel right at home at the UN International School in Hanoi...but then, after looking at her stock of "community"-oriented child programming materials, this hive insect queen wouldn't be offering anything the central planners wouldn't approve of--unlike literary freedom-seeking Vietnamese youth whom they repress with their monopoly of violence.
Good thing the chances of having DyAnne and Kevin's gentle sensibilities offended by a gun store in Hanoi are pretty slim.

Traver ‘up or down’ vote must include Fast and Furious answers
"For instance, there are email responses from the Chicago Field Division with a tag line about never quitting based on the SEAL ethos.
