A 25-year-old Japanese tourist — sleeping on a Brooklyn pal’s couch — was wounded early today when a cop on a drug raid accidentally fired his gun through the floor above her...Authorities said the 36-year-old cop whose gun discharged had never fired his weapon before. [More]Never?
"No cuts, no fees, education should be free." [More]Dang--I wish they'd had that back when I was working in factories in the summers and the campus warehouse during the school year...
The police department has so far refused to release the name of the officer who killed the elderly man... [More]Well why should they? It's not like he's somebody famous, like George Zimmerman. Besides, the "public safety commissioner" has already said the old man got what's coming to him.
Washington wrote DeKalb from Headquarters, Morristown April 4, 1780: "I have in consequence of the opinion of the last Council of War, left it with Congress finally to determine upon the march of the Maryland divisions to the southland. That no time may be lost in the transportation of the troops, should Congress agree in sentiment with the Council of War I desire you to proceed immediately to Philadelphia, and, if you find upon your arrival there, that they are to move concert with the Board of War, and the commissary and quarter-master-general make the necessary arrangements for their provision and accommodation. [More]
Will the prosecutors show the same restraint for all otherwise peaceable citizens who run afoul of draconian Illinois and Chi-Town gun edicts? If not, why not? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks if the potential for negative publicity is more important than equality under the law. And they say there are no stupid questions...
[Charlie's] idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat.
The police chief is giving Wareham special permission to carry his gun on duty, though. [More]So it is the magic costume...?
Our mission is to resolve judicial matters fairly and justly in a manner that will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The FBI claims that these indispensable pieces of evidence regarding what was at the time the worst terrorist act in U.S. history have simply vanished in the tenebrous depths of an official warehouse, much like the Ark of the Covenant was at the end of the first Indiana Jones film. [More]One thing about the Justice Department and its functionaries stonewalling in order to suppress the truth--at least they're consistent.
[T]weeting is beyond my intellectual capabilities...[More]
On April 3, 1780 he came to the relief of Charleston, South Carolina, which was besieged by the British. Shortages of troops and supplies retarded de Kalb's steady advance. De Kalb, in command of the right wing, attacked the enemy three times. With sword in hand, he led his troops forth to the attack. After being wounded eleven times he finally fell. His last words to his troops were addressed to his adjutant. "Thanks for their valor, and bid them an affectionate farewell." Three days after the battle he perished from battle wounds. His courageous example became a symbol of patriotism in the American Revolution. [More]
In 1772 there were few people expecting America to declare independence and fight an eight year war for independence. In 1859 virtually no one expected the election of Abraham Lincoln as president and an ensuing war that would kill 700,000 American men. In 1928 no one imagined the stock market losing 89% of its value, an eleven year depression, and a world war resulting in over 60 million deaths. History is only logical in afterthought. The mystery of forethought is where we find ourselves today. [More]Speaking of forethought, guess what's on tonight...?
[P]erhaps as high as an estimated 90 percent of the armed weaponry used in narco-violence in Mexico originates in the United States...[More]Well...I know I've read enough...
Nagy, 43, a 19-year veteran of the Hamilton Police Department, returned to the scene several hours later, killing himself in the Starbucks parking lot with a gunshot to his head. [More]See, the regular drips tried to warn us only the police should be armed at Starbu...uh...
Trayvon Martin gave his life for this cause! [More]Had the young man been one of my loved ones, I'd not let self-aggrandizing hucksters get away with hijacking his memory for their shamelessly exploitative agenda.
There was once a time when the NRA supported and promoted hunting and the safe usage of firearms. Today, the organization has morphed into one that insists there should be unfettered access to weapons — even those used primarily for shooting cops...[More]This is what the ridiculous Dave Zweifels of the world are reduced to. We really ought to view that as a plus.
...Michelle Obama — one of the most admired first ladies in history...[More]Seriously? "Authorized Journalist" Lois Romano believes that?
I have received intelligence, which seems to place it beyond doubt, that the Enemy are about to make a further embarkation of Troops from New York, and the common opinion is, that they are going to reinforce Sir Henry Clinton. [More]
"There's absolutely no good reason for it, and the Second Amendment demands it," the GOP front runner pledged at a Saturday rally in Muskego, WI, in what some call a bid to improve his flagging status among mistrustful gun owners. [More]Also see:
With all the apparent issues and concerns at stake, and with the Department of Justice stonewalling Congressional oversight every step of the way, why is it appropriate to approve the administration’s strategically-picked nominee--the guy Obama and Holder want be in charge of future “Gunwalker” investigation efforts--without creating a record of “the names or numbers of senators voting on each side”? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a successful strike that apparently went under the radar. Ask yourself why you're probably not hearing about this from any place that has reach.
And we're supposed to believe the Special Agent in Charge at the heart of Fast and Furious "gunwalking" and the official who advises the president on matters of national security are just old pals shooting the breeze about border gunrunning--in emails that Newell took special pains to protect himself on? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report connects some dots and makes the case that Eric Holder is taking his stonewalling lead directly from the top.

“This response was based on my understanding of the state of federal law at the time." [More]What, you're a frickin' judge, and you didn't know the Second Amendment is about "the right of the people to keep and bear arms"?
District Court Holds Second Amendment Applies Outside the Home, Strikes Down Ban on Gun Transportation During State of EmergencyMeanwhile, the irrelevant, desperate-for-attention antis are reduced to whining about NRA hoodies. Hmmm...I wonder why their website doesn't mention this yet...?
"Somebody's banging on your door and says, I'm going to come in and kill you...And this guy's got the gun out...You're better off not having a gun." [More]Unless you're on Bloomingan's Island.
That's the police department's job.Yeah, he said that, too. What, you don't have a taxpayer-funded armed security detail following you around?
Despite being fined for lack of a permit, it would have been likely that Pruitt would not have been able to obtain one. [More]And that's pretty much all we need to know about dealing with the federal bureaucracy.
You will be pleased, upon the receipt of this, to take the most expeditious measures for putting the whole Corps both Horse and Foot in readiness to march. If you move, your destination will be South Carolina. [More]
While I couldn't agree more that guns are simply tools, pretty much like any others, I don't know why that would make them unlovable. Most men love their tools, all different kinds, and men have always loved their guns. I'm certainly not ashamed to join those men. [More]I confess I don't understand the passion and never have. Long time readers know that. I like 'em ok, and enjoy shooting to a degree, but I'll never be a true enthusiast--I've always considered practice more of a responsibility than a recreational activity. I understand a lot of you are aficionados, but for me it's always been about the freedom, the principles, the utility and the choice.
Ask Canada -- gun registration won't make D.C. safer [More]Right--they expect the D.C. Council to look at facts.
"(The cub) stood up on its hind legs and put its paws up and I got to play patty-cake with it," he said. [More]
"Mr. Carillo emphatically indicated a gun was involved... that is very important. It sets the platform for the mindset of the responding officers." [More]So if I want to have the "Only Ones" assassinate someone for me, that's all I've got to tell them?
In all the indictments I’ve seen against Trayvon Martin, none of them add up to any more than he wasn’t perfect (guilty on all charges here) and that he fit a stereotype profile. More disturbing: Some of those comments do nothing but widen the racial divide, instead of helping to bridge it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks a question I believe merits an objective discussion.
This article, however, argues that undercover money laundering operations are one of the most effective and critical weapons to identify and prosecute those involved in the command and control of global narco-terrorist organizations. Much of the analysis in this article is based on the author’s 27-year career as a federal agent, including five years of long-term undercover work operating as a money launderer for drug cartels. [More]
Mass. must stand against ‘stand your ground’ law [More]Truly.
Police officers receive exhaustive training in the use of their firearms...[More]What, like Heather Fong?
“I know people will criticize us for not taking these guys down immediately,” Champion told the paper. “But we weren’t sure what they were up to.” [More]What, delivering 40 guns without serial numbers to an informant didn't give you a clue?
Here's a rumor: the El Paso ATF was onto the Miramonte Brothers. [More]Vanderboegh's back.
There have been times when the militia have been obliged by the distresses of war to turn out – and the time now is when the Militia of North & South Carolina and Virginia ought to exert themselves. [More]
The line between freedom of political expression and sedition and conspiracy must always be adjudicated with an eye toward protecting rights, and if speech—no matter if disturbing, offensive or hateful does not cross it—the government must not be allowed to punish those engaging in it. Still, the parallels between this case and recent statements by the New Black Panthers about Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman should be noted: Is offering a reward to their followers to find and kidnap a man who has not been criminally charged protected free speech, or a violation of Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241, “Conspiracy against Rights”? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that official discrimination would mean we're all not equal under the law.
Stein The Marine Corps is now looking into whether he violated the military’s rules prohibiting political statements by those in uniform and broke its guidelines on what troops can and cannot say on social media...Stein has come under fire for stating on Facebook that he wouldn’t follow certain orders given by his commander in chief. [More]Hey, maybe he can claim a defense that the guy whose orders he might not obey isn't his legitimate commander in chief...:)
A bill filed by Sen. Neil Riser, R-Columbia, with several co-sponsors, would call an election to amend the Constitution and make Louisiana as wild as Tombstone, Arizona in its heyday. [More]Do you think VPC talking point-parroting "Authorized Journalist" James Gill knows better, and is just writing this crap anyway because he knows his readership is ignorant? Or do you think he honestly doesn't know?
“It’s a sad day in America when an ... senior citizen with a heart condition can’t defend himself against an intruder breaking into his house”...[More]Indeed. And it's sad how many "conservative" gun owners--including the Lairds of Fairfax--demand past felonies be a punishable disqualifier, instead of recognizing that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.
A federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officer who was a key witness in a recent high-profile gun-running case has been charged with witness tampering and making a false statement to a law enforcement officer. [More]Now who would believe a wild story like that?
There is a Briton, of High Rank and Office now in Paris, who, in a late Conversation with a Dutchmen, told him, that his Country would declare War against Holland before next October. We are ruined, says he, that is plain. As to the Americans, it is certain they will have their Independence. But God d—n them, why should they wish to rip up our Belly, the Belly of their Mother? I should have answered, why did the Mother pluck the Nipple from the boneless Gums, even when the Infant was smiling in her Face, and dash the Brains out? [More]
To which the...readership weighed in, in column comments and on social media sites where the link was shared, with a not unexpected reaction: Basically, don’t hold my breath—nothing will come of it. It will be ignored. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks what would have happened if those pursuing the truth in Fast and Furious had listened to the naysayers at the beginning and at every step along the way.
March 26, 2012: Knife Rights' Georgia Knife Preemption Bill SB432 must be scheduled for a vote in the next three days or it will not become law.If you're from Georgia, do it and pass it on. Now.
It is critical for you to take a moment and call the office of Georgia's Speaker of the House David Ralston and POLITELY request that he "please schedule SB432 for a vote as soon as possible." That's all the message you need to leave.

We may never know everything that happened between Zimmerman and Martin... [More]
The Waterbury police department has been refusing permits against the clear intent of the state legislature. [More]Well, yeah, but that's because if you're armed, Waterbury "Only Ones" wouldn't be able to do this to you.

Gen Washington writes that a failure of bread has already commenced in the army, and that for any thing he sees, it must unavoidably increase. Meat they have only for a short season and as the whole dependance is on provisions now to be procured, without a shilling for the purpose, and without credit for a shilling, I look forward with the most pungent apprehensions. [More]
A member of the New Black Panther Party who went on national television to offer a reward for the capture of George Zimmerman was arrested in Gwinnett County. [More]Maybe he was just trying to make good on that "No Guns" sign?
It’s good that we don’t see opportunists and haters showing up in Mississippi, jumping to conclusions before all the facts have been established, proclaiming guilt without weighing the evidence, but stirring up racial animosity and threatening violence anyway due solely to the skin color of the men in these reports. [More]I think we can all agree that would be wrong.

A Fredericksburg man was charged with two felonies Tuesday after he pretended to shoot at two city detectives by pointing his finger, police said. [More]Wait a second...I thought it was if you lifted a finger...
He could have said: We understand that a U.S. senator’s first duty is to represent the people of his state and that their interests occasionally might conflict with those of a special interest group such as ours. We would expect Richard Mourdock to vote in the interests of his constituents in those circumstances. [More]Except that wouldn't be true.
Remington Arms Company threatens to pull plant out of New York in response to Bloomy-backed gun bill [More]Good. Don't just say it, do it. And take the valuable workers with you.
Their own words give you probable cause to open a thorough investigation to obtain all relevant documents, including electronic, telephone records, financial records, etc., and based on the evidence, to arrest and vigorously prosecute any member--or financial supporter--determined to be engaged in this conspiracy. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column challenges Eric Holder. Will he turn a blind eye, and if he does, why shouldn't we believe these domestic enemies aren't serving his agenda?
On March 26, 1780 he had his first encounter with British Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton near Rantowle's Bridge. [More]
And Weich is still out there deflecting, redirecting and stonewalling, trying to shutter the windows, pull down the blinds and make the villains in this murderous government intrigue the ones with the light. [More]This evening's special Gun Rights Examiner report looks at accusations from a proven liar. As far as I can tell, the letter appears in its entirety exclusively here.
Those stirring up the mob are taking full advantage of anger, and it’s hard not to think of the death of the Florida teen as an opportunity for their self-promotion, as opposed to a sincere concern for color-blind justice. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column condemns evil opportunists who are egging on violent racial conflict.
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” President Barack Obama felt compelled to toss into the spreading flames of divisiveness.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that ginning up the mob has certain advantages those who crave control can rely on.
Curiously, as Obama’s political base in "stand your ground"-free Chicago prepares for a Trayvon Martin march today, the names of last weekend’s 10 dead/49 wounded seem destined for obscurity. Evidently these lacked an important exploitable factor. [More]
Now we have proof that police are creating their own laws when it comes to wiretapping arrests. [More]One point of confusion for me: I haven't seen the term "wiretapping" used to describe recording a police encounter.
