The Future of Oakland
The future of Oakland, then, will be Phil Tagami. On Nov. 2, as masked vandals ran through Oakland setting fires and vandalizing property, the developer and active Democrat stood with a shotgun to keep the rioters from breaking in to Oakland's iconic Rotunda building. At great personal risk, he saved the building. [More]An active Democrat? And the gungrabbers aren't going to call him a penis-compensating, murderous vigilante and get him off the street...?
Hopzedong Cassidy
Wait a minute--if this hive insect queen gets that ammo "sin tax" passed, won't that impact the ability of her constituents to storm the capital?
We're the Only Ones Quivering Enough
Rep. Stephen Handy, R-Layton, voted against the measure because of worries that it would take a key mechanism from the quiver of law enforcement tools. [More]Really? This ****head equates peaceable open carry with disorderly conduct, and wants criminal penalties to apply--not to mention real jeopardy to life in the encounter to effect an arrest on an armed citizen?
Don't they vet these oath-breaking punks before they rate them?
With Rights Come Responsibilities
Dolphins are so intelligent that they should be thought of as ‘non-human persons’ and given their own bill of rights, it is claimed. [More]Good. It's about damn time we held those fish murderers accountable.
I Need to Work on My Directness
I just ran across this by accident while looking for something else:
"Likens"?
I thought I flat-out called them "national socialists."
Don't they teach you oberkapos how to read?

And Then Along Came Jones...
State Senate Republican Rick Jones said that this has become a major problem, especially within the gang community. “People are taking imitation firearms that look real, cutting off the orange end and then threatening people,” he said. [More]
Kind of like the stuff I had as a kid, without one problem ever. And because Michigan has no other problems.

A Gathering Storm
So maybe they should take up their Second Amendment-sanctioned guns and storm Wall Street and our nation's capitals. If our country doesn't change, it could very well come to that one day. [More]I wish the regressive left would get their stories straight about armed insurrection...

‘Bulletproof Mind’ empowers gun owners to prepare for, respond to violence
We also learn something that, again, sheep simply cannot comprehend and won’t believe—but some of us can and will: Lt. Col. Grossman’s ultimate inspiring message, and this comes out loud, clear and true, is one of love. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column reviews a seminar well worth attending.
The Surge
Violent crime so far this year in the District has spiked sharply — a 40 percent increase that includes twice as many robberies at gunpoint than at this time last year. [More]I don't understand--just look how difficult it is to get a gun there.
Oh...
Y'know, if only we had the same kind of "gun control" everywhere else...

It All Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word "Rights" Is
Human rights groups expressed cautious optimism about the outcome. [More]
You know, as in you have the right to have governments mandate and enforce their monopoly of violence and your imposed disarmament. What's so deceptively Orwellian about that...?
Besides, it all depends upon what the meaning of the word "consensus" is...
True Colors
This is totally unbelievable. This man holds a seat on the NRA's Board of Directors, and he pretends to be a friend of gun owners. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I will never do so again.Which is another reason I harp on the importance of this every year...
For gun owners in Iowa, it is now clear that this legislator is an enemy. [More]
Project GunWhat...?
Andrew Breitbart says the media is ignoring Fast and Furious. [More]
Heck, I could have told him that. Over a year ago. And numerous times since then.
What's ironic to me is, here we have plenty of documentation of breaking Gunwalker developments (from way before anyone in media had ever heard about it--and continuing through to right freaking now, where I'm trying to decide if a fresh tip is calculated disinformation designed to discredit sourced information Mike and I use or a breakthrough...Hint: I'll be calling Washington later this morning, and not the branch of government you might assume), and I can't recall even once one of Andrew's Big Government reporters approaching either of us--not to feature us, just to use stuff we've uncovered as a starting point for their own investigation.

UN Arms Trade Treaty: It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘consensus’ is
How unsurprising that the Clintonian "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is” deception has now been reanimated to apply to the word “consensus.” And how revealing of the character of those behind the move. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that words have meaning. And those who would redefine them have agendas.
We're the Only Ones Trained Enough
The training director for the Wisconsin Department of Justice is recovering from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand. [More]Well, hell, if that can happen to a trained professional, we'd best just keep those dangerous instruments away from us mere amateurs...

Just a Typical Gun Owner for Common Sense Laws
"My son was shot and killed in 1997 and ... I don't want bad guys to have guns, it's simple," Jenkins said. [More]What makes him think Rahm isn't a "bad guy."
And his "solution" is to register everyone who's not? Because criminals don't have to register theirs. Unless you're this kind of criminal.
And I like how Jenkins is presented as no lobbyist or activist of any kind, just an ordinary gun owner... That Samson Adams is quite the "Authorized Journalist," is he not?
Yeah, he's no activist, he's just someone who publicly argues not only for licensing and registration, but against concealed carry and owning "military grade guns"...and writes books, and supports the Bradys and the Million Moms--you know, just your typical gun owner who calls anyone who disagrees with him "insane."
Hell, he even advocates endangering our lives:
Report all instances of public gun possession outside of accepted areas like gun ranges. Insist that the police follow up on your call, because we can't trust gun owners.Maybe one of us who are breaking no laws can get shot when they prone us out to get a paid vacation?
My natural inclination is to feel sympathy and compassion for anyone who has suffered a soul-wrenching loss. But you don't get to attack, and then use that loss to shield from the deserved response anyone else would get.
For the Children
Looks like last week's submission wasn't good enough to make the cut.
Still, I can't help but notice something that is shocking, and that no tolerant progressive should tolerate!
We can't allow that! Who can we progressives, who look to government for everything, turn to in order to ensure that a child's safety and welfare are the primary concern?
California Department of Social Services to the rescue!
Gosh, it's almost as if somebody wants to create a dependency system crisis and resulting demands for even more government control...

The English squadron sailed from Gibraltar the 13th instant, and part of it is said to be destined for the West Indies. The French will have seventy-two sail of the line in actual service this year. The troops at the disposition of the person mentioned in the letter No ],t [sic] to Mr. Jay, will amount to near four thousand, and consist chiefly of Germans; six sail of the line will escort them, and I am well informed they will sail in less than two months. It is said the English ministry will be able to procure the necessary supplies for the present year owing to their late successes. [More]

Will NRA director election be another opportunity squandered?
If that’s truly the case, it would appear to trump all other considerations. Will you therefore publicly insist that any politician, especially so-called 'pro-gun Democrats,' who put party over principle and endorse Obama’s reelection, or vote to confirm any anti-gun nominee to the Supreme Court, be given an automatic 'F'? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary asks some questions.

A Champion and Staunch Defender
"The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund supports Sam Brownback because he is a champion and staunch defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding Kansas gun owners," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. "As a U.S. senator, Sam has proven time and again to be a trustworthy and effective defender of our gun rights, and I know those same qualities will serve him well as governor." [More]Oh so that explains it--you know, why he hasn't commented on public facility carry, nor even acknowledged it in his agenda. I'm sure his hesitation is due to wondering if the bill is pro-gun enough.

The enemy within
The thing is, most of us depend on specialization. If a pipe breaks, we call the plumber. If the car makes a funny noise, we get a mechanic to check it out. That’s understandable; life and technology are complicated. We may not have the knowledge, or we may not have the tools. Besides, there are people who can do that for us, whatever “that” is, and if the price is right, it’s in our interest to let them.Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes there may be time enough for love, but other essentials are being ignored.
The trap is, we’ve done that with self-government, too. [More]
There's a Term for This
In contrast, a family in New Mexico has now been languishing in jail for almost six months. They have been denied bail, and all of their assets have been seized. [More]It's called an "economic Waco."
Jeff Knox follows up on his first report.
I'm in communication with some folks on this, including a close relative, and hope to have something more to say soon.
A Religious Intervention
Moreover, arms cannot simply be compared with other goods exchanged in global or domestic markets. The quest for a world more respectful of the dignity of human person and the value of human life must be the founding principle of the ATT.So, pally, are Benedict's more-trustworthy-than-the-rest-of-us Swiss Guards gonna keep their SG 550s?
Viewed from this perspective, the international community requires a strong, effective and credible legal instrument that is capable of regulating and improving transparency in the trade of conventional arms and munitions, including the trading and licensing of technologies for their production.

I don't suppose it's occurred to you that an armed citizenry might have been able to help you guys avoid a certain amount of "controversy"? And I don't suppose it occurs to you that those wielding a "monopoly of force" are also the ones who would require you to pay for abortions in Catholic health care plans?
The Magic Number
Is there some magic number of cops or congresswomen who have to get shot in the head before something happens in Washington? [More]Let's all pray we never have to find out.
We're the Only Ones on ICE Enough
A confrontation between law enforcement agents erupted in gunfire Thursday evening at the federal building in Long Beach, leaving one dead and one seriously injured, authorities said. [More]Obviously because only the "Only Ones" can be trusted with guns--not just at federal buildings, but in Southern California in general...
Back when I was young and immortal, I lived a few blocks from there (before the Anderson building was constructed--matter of fact, I can see my old complex in the interactive map)--the first property I ever owned, and the...uh...only one I could afford due to insane SoCal real estate prices, a condo in an area trying to be "gentrified." It was anything but safe. Funny--our resident drug dealer was a guy known on the street as "Ice"--he got into our place on a VA loan, set about immediately never making a payment, and knew every trick in the book to keep delaying eviction.
The stories I could tell...
Due to "may issue"I could not get a permit to save my life. Due to principle, I did what I thought best, lest I be the one to end up on ice.

Will Obama strip gunwalking prohibition and add anti-gun provisions to budget?
If The Washington Times has budget information that is different from what is posted for public scrutiny on the White House website, or can point to additional provisions in the multiple and complex documents that challenge a non-accountant layperson to understand things, it would be helpful to those of us following their lead to be told the specific sections or documents they are deriving their conclusions from.

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.

Thing is, her husband says "his wife's car had no power windows."

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]

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]
This came out many months back and I never noticed it. Curious, because I do regular searches to see how my work is propagating.

The Cojones Mutiny
Mess Boy John Boehner's strawberry shortage means
the Ship of State is in imminent danger of foundering.

No excuses. Just do it.

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."
The Bob Crawford School of Journalism
Third - and I want to emphasize - Never Feed a Marshmallow to a grizzly bear like this: [places a marshmallow in his mouth and poses wantingly]"Authorized Journalists"--masters of their subject matter, no?
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.
By the way, "the Wyatt Earp school of legislative thought" was on your side, you snotty ignoramus.
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.
