Notes from the Resistance...
File this under the rubric "Only in America" - sticks, poles and water guns will be banned from the centre of Tampa at the Republican Party's national convention next August. Guns, however, will be allowed. [More]Heavens!
Not surprisingly, Media Matters has consistently refused to let me post responses in their comment sections. [More]They've done that to me, too.It's basically because they're commie liars, so it's no surprise that the one thing they need to suppress is the truth.
"Any of these guns that falls into the wrong hands is a potential murder weapon," said Mark McGrath, a Republican member of the City Council. [More]Remember that if this RINO "member"ever runs for higher office.
"We ran out of options so I got the end of my Taser and I probably ... I just start smashing his face to hell,"[More]Well hell, that sounds like an option. Especially for some scofflaw who tells you he can't breathe. You know, the kind of menace to society who begs you to stop and calls out in agony and terror for his Dad...
Teen takes on Seventeen, says magazine contributes to body image issues [More]My wife and I were blessed with sons but not with daughters. If we had been, they'd have been raised like my parents raised my sisters--with full access to and encouragement for microscopes, erector sets, baseball mitts and BB guns. I remember my older sister, when she was about 10, correcting a mistaken assumption when we were flying overseas, and Pan Am gave us boys "Junior Clipper Pilot" pins (real metal, with real pins on them, back before the days of TSA lunacy), and they tried to give her one that said "Junior Clipper Stewardess."
Bake sales, the calorie-laden standby cash-strapped classrooms, PTAs and booster clubs rely on, will be outlawed from public schools as of Aug. 1 as part of new no-nonsense nutrition standards, forcing fundraisers back to the blackboard to cook up alternative ways to raise money for kids. [More]Oh, wise permission givers--save us from our choices and ourselves!
In place of the two terms, Scotland Yard suggested using “greenlist” and “redlist.” [More]
May 8, 1780 was one day with the fiercest shelling of the town of Charleston by the British fleet during the Siege of Charleston. Many buildings and homes were set on fire and panic ensued. The locals pressed the military to surrender. [More]
The strategy is insidious: “[I]t is targeted to non-Republicans, as it reminds voters that Indiana's GOP primary is an open one in which Democrats and independents can vote.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at some domestic enemies with "R's" after their names.
Before this is all over, people will be rolling cigarettes with stock certificates, or shredding them and using them as fire starter. [More]Gee, this isn't anywhere near as comforting and reassuring as dealing with civilized people.
A fame-hungry former Concord private investigator admitted Friday to helping pilot a scheme that turned a Contra Costa narcotics task force into a clearinghouse for illicit drug dealing, entering his plea the same day an ex-San Ramon officer was sentenced to federal prison for his part in the scandal that rocked local law enforcement. [More]I wish I could say "unbelievable." Especially about that "36 months" sentence for co-defendant Lombardi.
“There is a right under the Constitution, under the Second Amendment, to have guns for self-defense and for family protection and presumably for hunting, but reasonable regulations of such guns are the essence of a free society.” [More]After all, who are the Founders to argue with Alan Dershowitz?
"We have up to 2,000 employees working in the jail system, and I am proud of the fact that nearly all do their jobs without complaint and without complaints against them," Garcia said. [More]Earlier in my career I worked for companies several times that size. We never experienced anything close to that termination/suspension for cause rate.
Canadian gun owners did not fight 17 years to free themselves from Ottawa’s monstrous gun registry only have provincial chief firearms officers (CFOs) create a new gun registry via the backdoor. [More]Wanna bet?
It was an eye-opener for some people who haven’t thought about these things in the past... [More]Why the hell not? Are these adults?
The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs. [More]Because we see how much respect they have for others.
"Gold is a great thing to sew into your garments if you’re a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939," the Berkshire vice chairman said," but I think civilized people don’t buy gold, they invest in productive businesses." [More]Of course, we civilized investors have connections and opportunities the rest of you barbarians don't...
A man used a blood-filled syringe to steal thousands of dollars in prescription pills from a Maryland pharmacy, according to authorities. [More]Those assault weapons can be pretty scary in the wrong hands.
On May 7, during the Charleston expedition of Gen. Henry Clinton, Capt. Charles Hudson, from the HMS Richmond, and 500 Royal Marines received surrender of Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island, and its 216 man garrison, from Lt. Col. William Scott, after threatening to storm it. [More]
What this is all leading up to is evident: Now that ATF is saying straw purchasers are altering their behavior, expect that to be used as justification to expand this requirement to all the states. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a camel's nose under the tent.
It more than suggests what Obama and his media allies are doing here is trying to defuse accusations that he is anti-gun. They’re trying to take the Second Amendment out of the presidential debate. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner analysis gives the counter to those who would convince us that FREEDOM IS SLAVERY and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
US citizens can be arrested, detained indefinitely, and TORTURED under the National Defense Authorization Act [Watch]#1
There is no laughter in a case like this anywhere," Burke said. [More]I beg to differ. I'm laughing at the @$$hole getting caught. Hence this post.
Report: Guns used in Mexico lawyer's murder traced to Operation Fast and Furious [More]What am I missing here?
"Much of the report reads almost like an intrigue novel, with the kidnapping/murder of Mario Gonzales Rodriguez and the attack by cartels on a Mexican federal police helicopter, both of which involved Fast and Furious weapons..."I know Vanderboegh and Worlman were, too...
Boulder Police officer to face attempted, first-degree murder charge [More]Gosh, I wonder if Josh Horwitz is going to do a hit piece tarring all cops? Or if Josh Sugarmann is going to update his "Badged Killers" Google stats?
Florida Sheriff's Deputies Fired For Allegedly 'Loafing' On The Job [More]On the bright side, at least they weren't out there being "too loose."
A car jacking is attempted in a grocery store parking lot. How well prepared are you to defend yourself against this crime taken from real headlines?

Assemblywoman Norma Torres, D-Pomona, asked colleagues to imagine themselves inside a restaurant when a gun-wielding person walked in. "How would you feel, not knowing the mental state of that person?" she asked. "I would be afraid." [More]
NAVAL May 4, 1780
Two New England privateers capture large ship from London off
Sandy Hook after "obstinate" action. [More]
What the true origins of this story prove, and what those ignoring or subverting it don’t wish recognized, is that this stands as an undeniable example that establishment media no longer holds exclusive information gatekeeper status. The dinosaurs have noticed the small, furry, egg-eating mammals darting and scrambling about their lumbering feet. [More]Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report reiterates a record that is important to state accurately, not as a matter of credit, even though that's a legitimate concern, but as a milestone marker of as-yet unknown significance.
Had CBS 5 wished to discuss bullet buttons or any other fallout from California’s ridiculous and ineffective anti-gun edicts, there would have been no shortage of resources ready and willing to meet them face-to-face and provide their audience with informed guidance. The entire “undercover” rationale was unjustified from the beginning, designed to create the illusion that viewers were being provided a straight news exposé by hard-boiled reporters, instead of by mob-inciting “Authorized Journalist” hacks with plenty of agenda but not much in the way of respect for traditional ethics and canons of journalism. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report follows up on a covert anti-gun activist operation posing as "news."
Under the National Defense Authorization Act S.1867 you can be detained indefinitely without a trial [More]We linked to Part 1 yesterday.
Sherman said the event is not indicative of the high standards to which he holds his employees. [More]That's comedy gold right there.
Lawrence G. Keane, senior vice president and general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, told users of the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) today that industry fully supports Virginia Governor Robert F. McDonnell's call for making mental health and other prohibiting information available to NICS to ensure that illegal firearm purchases are prevented. [More]I guess we can all move on to other issues, now that Larry and Bob have ensured that illegal firearms purchases are prevented.
FBI offers $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the death of A.T. hiker Scott Lilly...A state medical examiner in January ruled the death a homicide and said the cause was “asphyxia by suffocation"... [More]Thank goodness no one used a gun or stood his ground!
An off-duty Houston police officer was arrested Wednesday on accusations he flashed bar patrons and stabbed one of the men who confronted him, authorities said. [More]I wonder if his last name is pronounced "dumbass"?
George Vujnovich, an American intelligence agent who led the largest air rescue of Americans behind enemy lines during World War II, died last week at the age of 96...[More]
Of note, there are currently 152 project backers yet over 800 Facebook “likes.” Sticking with the analogy for a moment, imagine Captain Parker and only a handful of men turning to see “supporters,” vitally needed if any kind of stand were to be made, but unwilling to do more than look out their windows at them and give them a “thumbs up.” Imagine yet more unwilling to do even that, and instead drawing shut the curtains. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner plea asks if you will join us on the green.
The attacks, including a violent sexual assault on an incapacitated, bound and blindfolded teenager captured on video, took place just feet from where his Moorestown police uniform hung on his bedroom door...Colleagues and other law enforcement officials who worked with him had expressed shock when Melia was arrested, describing him as a knowledgeable and helpful officer. [More]Yeah, he sounds like it.
The congressional report said that an ATF email indicated that ATF officials in Phoenix who knew the two assault rifles came from the controversial operation withheld the information from Mexican officials until June 2011. [More]What stonewalling and cover-up?
It is my understanding from the Heller trial that the finding of individual right was 9/0. The court in turn used that as basis for a 5/4 decision to overturn DC’s gun ban regulationsYes, and look what four of the Justices were willing to cede passed "individual rights"-recognizing muster. Dan's post-Heller proposals seem consistent with their worldview. As for his pre-Heller wishlist, who knows what natural or man-made event would be disastrous enough to exploit as justification for "national security" measures along those lines? Or alternately, who knows what critical mass of the electorate is enough to let those who would rule drop all pretenses and do anything they wish?
Michigan Reports 38 Deaths, Including the Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer [More]Well shoot, gun-free Chi-Town had over three times that many in just the first three month's of Emperor Rahm's reign.
A recent study revealed that New York City officers kill themselves at a rate of 29 per 100,000 a year. The rate of suicide in the general population is 12 per 100,000.
Gasper was told by Horner to take the bill to a bank and have it exchanged for a newer one.[More]I hope Gasper's lawyer tells Horner something.
In Congress, May 2, 1780 : Instructions to the captains and commanders of private armed vessels which shall have commissions or letters of marque and reprisal. [More]
We’re not talking about some random anti-gun zealot here, someone who can be just dismissed as an inconsequential kook who doesn’t speak for doctrinaire anti-gunners. He is, according to his newspaper bio, “a retired diplomat [and] a member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.” [More]My latest "Rights Watch" column for Guns Magazine, "The End Game," starring Homer Simpson's dumber brother, is now online.
Holder has enough GOP partisan lashes on his back to know that no matter how many facts he cites to bolster his case that he didn't know or certainly approve any illicit doings in the sting ATF operation, the issue won't go away. [More]Really? That's what "Gunwalker" is about? Powerful white men taking the whip to blacks?
“Why the big cover up unless there’s something there they’re covering up,” Walsh responded.
“Like what?” O’Reilly challenged. “A bribe? I mean, what could it possibly be?” [More]
The public was never in danger from the explosive devices, which were inoperable and controlled by an undercover FBI employee, according to sources close to the investigation. [More]Oh for crying out loud...
A symbolic act is appropriate. Now it's up to us to use our voices and not allow it to remain just that.[Via Tom Skoch]
Your best self-defense is your tongue. [More]Jeez, Walt, too bad you weren't at Virginia Tech or Columbine, or Sharon Tate's house, or that store in Utah we just linked to in the last post.
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.Some of us tried to show a different approach by example, but that was not very well received by those who prefer being more "reasonable."
His son, also named James Woosley, and live-in girlfriend, Lateisha Rollerson -- both ICE employees -- allegedly ran the scam out of the elder Woosley's two Virginia homes. [More]Hey, at least they weren't stiffing South American whores.
Despite the efforts of local citizens who fortified their powder magazine, Cornwallis seized Camden on May 1, 1780, and took over the Kershaw House for his headquarters...[More]
