A Matter of Priorities

As the Chardon community heals, our ongoing priority is to provide the appropriate resources for our students, staff and families to deal with this horrific tragedy. [More]
As opposed to dissuading horrific tragedies...

We're the Only Ones Targeting Enough

But it wasn't sinister, and we never meant for anyone to feel uncomfortable.  Honest. [Read and watch]

The Tranquility Paradox

Kurihara and Tsukada suggested the speech-jamming gun could be used to hush noisy speakers in public libraries or to silence people in group discussions who interrupt other people's speeches. [More]

#EFAD: Gangster Government

Matt Bracken asks "Please send folks to GGASI, and encourage them to copy it off my website in its entirety, because my website can disappear in a blink."

[N]ewborn babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”. [More]
And how do "Practical Ethics" advocates describe anyone who might vehemently disagree, and who deem that way, when extrapolated to its logical conclusion, leads to holocausts?

Oh, that's easy. You're “fanatics opposed to the very values of a liberal society.”

"A Double-Barrelled Victory"

"It's a good day, there's no question about that," said Kevin Starrett, executive director of the Oregon Firearms Federation. "In some respects, this vote is important because it may affect people wanting to come back and do it again. But I don't see the issue going away." [More]

‘Operation #EFAD’ using social media to send anti-tyranny message

  • First, you don’t need a Kindle device. An application that lets you read ebooks on a PC is available as a free download at Amazon. Likewise, they offer a free app for the Mac.
  • Once you have the program installed, simply go to Amazon’s EFAD page and download your free book.
  • Then do one other thing: Spread the word. To everyone. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report lets you download a great book for free, and send a message to the government and media about Fast and Furious and other outrages. It includes an interview with author Matthew Bracken. Your help is needed to make his project go viral.

One Question

Who is "Susan"? [Read]

[H/T Say Uncle]

You Big Radical, You

"Some of these gun activists are a big radical," said Spencer, R-Woodbine. [More]
Guilty, but I can't help wonder if he actually said "bit."

In re "death threats," I will be interested to see exactly what was said--there's a difference between citing Thomas Jefferson's "tree of liberty" quote to make a point and flat out saying "I'm going to kill you," and another difference between being threatened and feeling threatened.

Maybe she really was--but here's another assumption I wouldn't automatically make:
Purcell expressed surprise that she would be targeted by gun-rights advocates.

Maybe they're not--really. Maybe they're big radicals of another stripe altogether.

Nice to know his judgment is "officially" considered superior to ours, and that's backed by armed force of law. Maybe he was channeling Jack Warden in "...And Justice for All."

‘Operation #EFAD’ To Offer Free Kindle Download and Use Social Media To Promote Liberty

Author Matthew Bracken is going to make copies of his novel “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” available starting tomorrow for free Kindle download. It’s part of a larger project that includes use of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to help spread the word about not just his book, but as an actual tool to put federal officials and the “mainstream media” on notice that their actions will be remembered, particularly the corruption of and complicity with Fast and Furious “gunwalking,” and that there stands a reserve of patriotic Americans committed to guarding against growing corruption and tyranny, and to spreading the truth. [More]
I'm doing what I can to help Matt's project go viral. We could use a hand.

Redondo Beach double homicide shows no place is safe

And while most of us don’t expect violence to happen to us, especially in the often-illusory sanctuary of our homes, we can’t lose sight of the fact that it may, at any time and place, that there is no safe place, and that it serves us best to maintain awareness of that sad, outrageous reality, and to conduct ourselves accordingly.  [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report says it can happen here.

We're the Only Ones Kind of a Drag Enough: Part Two

The Noose Tightens

Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it. [More]
Some are dismissing this as an inaccurate representation of the bill, and point to RT being a Russian source with an agenda.

I've dealt with RTAmerica before, and again, and they're certainly more willing to address our issue and give us our say than most of our domestic "Authorized Journalists."

There's one way to settle the controversy: Read the bill for yourself.

“We have opened an assembly at Camp. From this apparent ease, I suppose it is though we must be in happy circumstances. I wish it were so, but, alas, it is not. Our provisions are in a manner, gone. We have not a ton of hay at command, nor magazine (storehouse) to draw from. Money is extremely scarce, and worth little when we get it.

Window of Opportunity

I received a heads-up this was coming, and here it is. [More]



Why the 1-day "Open Period?" Ask yourself what purpose a 24-hour window serves, and whether or not it is intended to be communicated only to a select few "team players" via email trees to avoid notice and scrutiny, and then ask yourself if this is an agency that deserves our automatic trust when it does things semi-covertly--especially things that ought to be completely open.

Speaking of Failed and Diseased Souls

I am proud to stand by the side of the subject of this vile and cowardly attack.

We're the Only Ones Terrorizing Enough

The sight of a gun on a BART platform caused a scare and train delays this morning, and then it was learned that the firearm belonged to an off-duty police officer, BART police said. [More]

NM gun case shows government treats citizens differently from its own (cont'd.)

That is why the Reeses must be afforded the opportunity to defend their presumption of innocence—something they cannot do if their ability to pay for legal services is taken from them by the same people prosecuting them. Combine this with the judge forbidding them to be represented by one counsel, and a denial of bail designed to keep them apart, destroy their morale and resolve, as well as their ability to coordinate a defense and lean on each other for emotional and intellectual support, and the appearance is that the leviathan state is crushing them not in the name of justice, but to break them and make them surrender, regardless of the truth.

Kelly called it “another miracle,” one that occurred despite the enablers who block gun control or rail against the NYPD program of questioning and, sometimes, frisking people who appear suspicious. [More]

Bluntly, if you're not keeping up with this, you're not keeping up. 

Equally bluntly, if you're not sharing this information, it won't get out there, because we know all know the "Authorized Journalist" media has no interest in making this stuff known.

NM gun case shows government treats citizens differently from its own

Evidently, when private actors are the suspects, gunwalking ceases to be regarded as “botched” gun sales, strictly a personnel matter, or a paranoid right-wing conspiracy, and its investigation ceases to be regarded as a partisan witch hunt. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a double standard followed with a scorched earth policy.

We're the Only Ones Reprimanded Enough

Jamie Graham, the highly regarded Victoria, B.C. police chief, has been reprimanded for leaving his loaded service revolver under the front seat of his car while it was in the police HQ garage.

I know some will want to beat this guy up for this tactic, but it appears he did it safely and it appears that it worked and stopped someone without injury--someone who would have doubtless gone on to victimize others.

Charging him with a felony facing a potential seven-year sentence is the act of a much more dangerous and evil predator.

Ramarley Graham was chased into his parents’ Williamsbridge apartment on Feb. 2 by officers from the NYPD’s street narcotics enforcement unit after the cops spotted what appeared to be a gun.

After bursting into the apartment, Officer Richard Haste confronted the teen in the bathroom and fired the fatal shot as his grandmother and 6-year-old brother stood nearby. Only a bag of marijuana was found near Graham’s body. [More]
I don't accept this account at face value--I'd have to insert "say they" after "cops" and before "spotted."

Oh, I see Rev. Al was there--no doubt once more agreeing with Furious Mike that New York "Only Ones" are the...uh...only ones who should have guns.

This Day in History: February 23

Concerned by Clark's progress, the Lieutenant Governor of Canada, Henry Hamilton, departed Detroit with 500 men to defeat the Americans. Moving down the Wabash, he easily retook Vincennes which was renamed Fort Sackville. With winter approaching, Hamilton released many of his men and settled in with a garrison of 90. Feeling that urgent action was needed, Clark embarked on a winter campaign to retake the outpost.
