Ambushing Lanny

So Lanny Breuer doesn't know the difference between an "Independent Counsel" and the Office of Inspector General? [Watch]

Or is it just that people who know they've been caught tend to react with guilt and panic, and it shows? For a second there it looked like he was going to cry.

I'd like to see him have to run a video gauntlet.

Kurt opens a can.

Cease Fire bus ad campaign a willful violation of Metro policy

What that means is, not only must the signs come down, immediately, but other Metro policies for employee termination due to willful misconduct must be invoked against the responsible manager—otherwise, the ability to discipline any employee will be legally jeopardized if it is established that management turns a blind eye to gross violations from those in its rank for reasons of political sympathy. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a botched personnel policy--no, not what the government wants us to think "Fast and Furious" is, but a real one...

What Works in Apaloosa

Cole has a simple system: No guns. If he sees somebody with a gun, he’ll ask him to hand it over.

What if he refuses? “I’ll shoot him,” Cole says.

This works in Appaloosa because Cole does shoot people now and then and the town, judging from the size of the set in the movie, can’t have more than 200 inhabitants, if that. [More]
No, it works because it's fiction. Cole wouldn't last a day, at least in any place worth living.

Maybe if he stamps his feet...

Tell you what, Mr. Gross--since peaceable gun owners demanding our rights aren't the aggressors here, next time there's a school mass murderer, have one of your reps present him with your idiot demands.

Say, there's an idea: The Brady Gun-Free Schools Squad!

You obviously enjoy such wide and deep public support, there should be no problem recruiting a core of volunteer university students at every campus across the land who are trained to approach school shooters--to remind them they are in a "no guns" zone, to let them know how deeply their actions are resented, and to demand they remove their offending weapons from the premises immediately!

Maybe as part of their rapid response kit, you could include a box of "instant vigil" candles...

Constituting America

Essays on 2A by Dave Kopel and John Lott... [Read]

I got a heads up on this the other day and just haven't had time to do anything with it. The whole project looks interesting, not just limited to RKBA, but to the entire Constitution.

Here's a schedule that includes past, current and future topics.

ATF trivializing Fast and Furious with Ziegler defense

“Mistakes were made.” [Read]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a third-rate whitewashing. It ought to infuriate you.

Venezuelan authorities have established a moratorium on importing guns for sale to the general public, while banning the marketing of munitions and all other armaments in an attempt to “put order” in that sector and exercise some control over the nation’s widespread violence. [More]
If it can save just one life...

You're Right, Dennis: It IS a Gun Problem

Pop Go the Weasels

But Grass Roots North Carolina, a political advocacy group that favors looser gun laws, is labeling Stam, Republican state Rep. Chuck McGrady and former GOP state lawmaker David Guice as "the three weasels of the North Carolina House." [More]

#EFAD on Armed American Radio

I had the chance to discuss "Operation #EFAD" and "Gangster Government" last night on Armed American Radio with host Mark Walters.

You can listen to all three hours of last night's program by going to the AAR home page and scrolling down to "AAR Recent Posts" in the right sidebar.

I came on in Hour Two at 43:35 into the segment, and was able to discuss it some more in Hour Three, when Mark announced he was getting a lot of emails about it, and Round Table guest George "The Mad Ogre" Hill let us know he downloaded the "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" Kindle book during the break.

Quote of the Year

"There's nothing really on the books here in Georgia at the present time to specifically address this kind of criminal activity," he said. [More]
Why does that remind me of this?

Open Carry is instead a political statement in the best tradition of John Wilkes Booth, Timothy McVeigh, Sharron Angle and Ted Nugent. [More]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is comedy gold.

Careful Josh, you magnificent loon--and I use that adjective in all sincerity, because you're just so goddamn nuts you may as well be our man in the gun ban camp, the way you siphon off attention and resources from more effective adversaries.  But the thing is, if you really want voting to be as complicated as buying a gun, you're going to need to close the "loophole" that allows many to do so without identification and background checks--you racist.

Way to Go, Alan!

Not bad, being quoted by AP for a story carried by NBC. Not bad at all. [Read]

#EFAD Communiqué #12

All right, cyber troops, tonight at midnight marks the official end of Operation #EFAD. We still have much of today to accomplish the final, hardest, and most important part of our "time-on-target" internet and media barrage. [More]
You can learn more about it here.

I also had a chance to discuss it last night in two separate segments on Armed American Radio, and will post links once the show is posted.

Thanks to those who knew and helped get the book to #1 over the weekend.  To those who knew and didn't, well...

Good and Substantial

Ladies and gentlemen, we won! [More]
I have just not had time to follow this case--I note SAF is credited with "spearhead[ing] this effort," so I bet Dave Workman will have something for us soon.

UPDATE: What did I tell ya?

Official strategies give survival advantage to school shooters

But feel free to throw things at an armed berserker, kids, and to rush him, Chief Larry advises. True, "when applying 'throw and go' ...some may be injured and possibly killed [but] if people in that classroom do nothing and lie in frozen fear, afraid to fight to live, that the shooter will probably kill everyone in the classroom until stopped,"  he admits. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at official madness.

A Crime Fighter of Sorts

If you own a gun, you can be a crime fighter, of sorts. We aren't in any way suggesting you use that gun against criminals — just that you help prevent criminals from using your gun. [More]
Stop, or I'll make a list!

Not that you shouldn't as long as you can keep away from prying eyes, but what a ridiculous, prejudicial  way to start this story.

We're the Only Ones Getting a Break Enough

With the blessing of a powerful gun lobby, a bill giving police a break on the cost of background checks when purchasing guns passed unanimously out of a Senate committee Wednesday. [More]
Why? Is the theory that if they have their place at the table, it will inspire them to invite the rest of us in from the cold to share the bounty?

This Day in History: March 5

Project GunTALKER

I'll be joining host Mark Walters on Armed American Radio tonight to talk about the subjects of today's Gun Rights Examiner column:

#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."

I have, but I'll do it again. Here.

It's an important piece. Have you read it?

Have you shared it?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

[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.”

“When we find a gang member carrying a concealed gun, it will be up to the police officer to conduct a background check on the spot to see if that gang member qualifies under the new law to carry a concealed pistol,” Allender said. [More]
Yeah, this business of expecting us to have probable cause is really a hassle...

"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]

[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.

‘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]

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]

Besides, they all want to make it home at the end of their shift and live to get that retirement watch.

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.

We're the Only Ones Miraculous Enough

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]
Yeah, what the hell is wrong with you selfish people, expecting your damned Bill of Rights to take precedence over our authoritah?
