Grassley holds key to bypass balking on Holder contempt charges
There is one other option, perhaps the best one, and it’s a course recommended consistently in this column: Reenact the law that expired in 1999 to allow for a truly independent counsel. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary recommends if you can't break the logjam, bypass the damn thing entirely.

Look, this could just be SOP, and tariff-finagling goes on all the time. Maybe this will benefit American constituents and the economy. Who knows?
That's the point.
S. 2424: A bill to extend the temporary suspension of duty on mixtures containing n-butyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 1-hydroxypyridine-2-thione, zinc salt, and application ... Now, I know Chucky has no idea of what this is about. Neither do I. Is there anyone who does??Here's the bill. Confusing to us laymen, ain't it?
I asked an industry source and was told:
It is a fungicide/antimicrobial for rubber and plastic products that yes, is registered as a pesticide. Not sure what is the real story behind the duty suspension or who now owns the rights to the molecule.Livonia Mark says these guys are involved. An enterprise ultimately serving the interests of these guys.

No Solution

The answer is to keep those adjudicated dangerous and requiring a custodian from being able to harm those who need no such restraint and who coexist peaceably with their fellow human beings.
The problem is, we don't have a system even remotely set up to accommodate that. And there are those benefiting from that who would stand to lose if any changes were made.

Two Thumbs Up
 |
| James Towle on location |
I'm asking the regular readership to support their entries for several reasons, the most important being to encourage even more programming that presents firearms and associated rights in a positive light--with the preponderance of so much hostile televised media, consider this one more critical front that informed citizens must man. Sure, things like awards could be dismissed easily enough by the cynical, but every bit of positive sentiment we can introduce into the public forum is important, individually and for a cumulative effect.
On top of that, regulars here know I've been working with host James B. Towle and the ATSN crew for several years now, and my personal testimonial is you will not find a more dedicated group of professionals--who continually and creatively provide unique, entertaining and informative "pro-gun" programming--and who do not not forget the responsibility to also champion the liberty principles behind the sports they love. I can think of no current television efforts that merit wider public awareness, and the growing success of this venture can help spawn untold others--and all the while note you're not seeing any popular demand for shows like "Let's All Disarm with the Bradys!" so this is another niche "we" can dominate.
That's why I'm asking you to go to the Telly website and watch the trailer for "Stop the Threat: The Jogger," where an expert panel analyzes an attack reenactment (the full episode is available here) and for the "Houston Liberty Festival," raising money to help build homes for disabled war veterans (with the full program online here), and if you agree with me, give these entries a "thumbs up."
Please take a moment to do this and to spread the word. To that end, feel free to repro and share this blog post in total.
And one final note--I don't know what it is about the Telly website and recording votes, but it is recommended that IE users do it with a different browser like Firefox or Safari.
UPDATE: I'm told the voting will be open until June 8 and that we can vote daily/multiple times/day.
Remember–just go here and here and give each video a “thumbs up.” And tell your friends.
And while you’re at it, bookmark ATSNTV’s website, their Pursuit Channel site, and be sure to watch them if you subscribe to DIRECTV (Channel 608 PRST) or DISH Network(Channel 240 HUNT).
Rectifying Failure
"It underscores China's failure to police the blatant market in counterfeit parts -- a failure China should rectify." [More]Oh, they're rectifying failure, alright. Nothing succeeds like supremacy.
What really gets me is, in a different life I spent over 16 years doing regulatory compliance policies and procedures, proposals, system manuals, etc., for a defense contractor--everything from soup to nuts. Here's the relevant section from my resume:
Manager, Systems and Procedures, Hughes Defense Communications 1981 – 1997 Torrance, CA: Originally Magnavox Advanced Product and Systems, the company developed and manufactured satellite navigation and communication products in defense contracting and commercial business areas. • Promoted from Material/Production Control Procedures Analyst in 1987. • Coordinated command media for administrative, engineering, production and quality departments in defense contracting and commercial business segments in compliance with OSHA, FAR, CAS and other applicable regulatory requirements. • Managed organizational documentation, forms design/control. • Performed key role in audits and corrective action/quality improvement cross-functional activities. • Credited with significant responsibility for attainment of ISO 9001 registration. • Developed online media distribution system , reducing costs by 75%. • Supported numerous successful proposal efforts.I bring this up to establish that while I am offering an opinion based on a media report, it is an opinion formed by no small amount of goal-attaining experience in a heavily regulated and audited supply chain environment. Those aren't mere meaningless words and acronyms in the above list. I just don't see how this could happen on such a scale without a directed blind eye and outright collusion on "our" side.
Should we believe everyone in our leadership has been taken by surprise on this? Or are there more serious failures that we need to rectify?

Gun advocates cite legal dangers in Ohio hidden vehicle compartment bill

If Zimmerman Walks
Yet the public mind has been so poisoned that an acquittal of George Zimmerman could ignite a reaction similar to that, 20 years ago, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the LAPD cops in the Rodney King beating case. [More]With the caveat that I have no crystal ball and I've been astonishingly wrong before, I think it will be worse. I don't think it will be confined to one city. If so, much of it will be waged by the children of the LA rioters' generation, no doubt profoundly influenced by the quality of the parenting and the cultural influences they experienced and are immersed in.
Just a Minor Fender Bender
In a statement, Dodgers officials praised stadium security and Los Angeles police for a "quick security response (that) prevented the confrontation from escalating further." [More]But that did nothing to prevent the targeted victim from almost getting killed by vicious pack animals. What cowards--can you imagine three grown males holding someone down while the fourth kicks him in the head and face?
What could have prevented them from attacking him, and from anyone getting hurt in the first place?
Forget it--the antis say guns and fender benders don't mix. They would rather you and your loved ones be held down and kicked in the head until the "Only Ones" swoop in to save the day.
A Prohibited Person?

He was charged with domestic violence, assault, aggravated menacing and using a weapon while under the influence. He was charged on Feb.23, 2005, with simple assault and domestic violence after another fight with his wife, police said. He pleaded guilty to unlawful restraint in 2002 and negligent assault in 2005, both misdemeanors, Porter said. [More]

Either that or the very idea that "gun control" laws can stop anyone determined to violate them is all wet.

Bound and Determined
The controversy erupted in April after Anchorage gun shops revealed that an ATF agent had visited them earlier this year, requesting access to their “bound books,” the volumes that firearms dealers are required by law to maintain, with every transaction involving gun purchases, sales, or other transactions...Great Northern Guns refused to cooperate with the ATF agent’s request, because it is against the law. [More]Hooray for them--that is a brave and principled stand. Now we need to help them watch their back against retaliation/"Economic Waco."
Here's my problem:
Young’s office appears satisfied that the gun shop flap has been put to rest...Why, because he received "assurances" after ATF was caught usurping authority, harassing gun stores and violating the frickin' law? I'm not satisfied and you shouldn't be either. Let these same bastards catch one of us in a technical violation and they'd come down on us with the full force of the state behind them.

You just want to sell rope.
You corporate Quislings can try to hide from politics, but that doesn't mean politics won't find you. Do you know nothing about grassroots vs. AstroTurf? Do your own sales records not show you that your "diverse" customers are buying guns and ammo in record numbers? Do you truly think the unreconstructed Occupiers/domestic enemies who make up the "Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort" are the ones guaranteeing your bottom line, as opposed to being environmentalcases who would ban all "blood sports" and relegate much of the wilderness off limits even to the bear bells crowd? When they're not raiding animal labs or pooping on cop cars?
For people who deal with hunters and the wild, you'd think you know that jackals don't spare those who appear weak. They target them.

Fast and Furious fundraising email plays into ‘partisan witch hunt’ accusation
But without specifics detailing how funds raised under the auspices of holding Eric Holder legally accountable and obtaining justice for the Terry family are to be earmarked, it would be reasonable to assume all moneys raised will go toward general organizational expenses and goals (and of course, consultant fees). [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes how those who have done the least are trying to elbow their way in to get the most--and actually messing things up their single-minded focus on the cash.

Police Seek "Dark Colored" Killer Sedan
Detectives say Stone was just out for a morning jog, on his normal route, when a dark-colored, four-door sedan pulled by, slowed down, fired several shots at him, then pulled off, without ever stopping. [More]Oh, wait, this version has more detail, albeit it presents the same assumption about autovolition:
I wonder why some "Authorized Journalists" take it on themselves to suppress basic and essential facts about violent crimes, especially when it's the public that's at risk, and it's the public being appealed to to help identify the seda...uh...killers at large.
Several people witnessed Stone’s murder. They told police a dark-colored car driving north on 67th Street passed Stone as he was jogging, and without slowing down, opened fire on him. Witnesses say there were two black men inside the car.
Not really. It's a simple pincer maneuver. The attack on the other flank accuses those who advocate armed self-defense of being paranoid racists, seething with unfounded hatred and fear (due to our all having tiny wieners, no doubt). Even though time and again the premise that the police can't protect people is borne out, and even though we'd also want to know if a stalking monster "looked like" someone besides Obama's imaginary son from his composite girlfriend.

Reports of minor raids, rumors of intended movements by the enemy on a large scale, actual suffering on the part of the settlers for want of provisions, depreciation in Continental currency which had by now become practically worthless, and the difficulties of affording a semblance of protection by reinforcing the meager garrisons already posted, due to the impossibility of obtaining supplies for the militia, the only force available for this service, had by May brought about a most lamentable condition on the frontiers. As a result of this condition the more remote settlements were reported as daily breaking up and Colonel Van Schaick was led to express (1) the fear that unless some speedy and effectual measures were taken to inspire the despondent people with confidence, Schenectady would in all probability soon be the frontier to the westward.

Britain's military will be armed with a sonic device that can be used as a high-volume loudspeaker or a non-lethal weapon to disperse crowds at this summer's Olympic Games in London...[More]That speaks volumes.
We're the Only Ones Not Giving Back to the Community Enough
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the police departments in San Francisco and Oakland, California for refusing to return firearms to people who had been charged with crimes, but subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing. [More]The thing is, monopoly of violence cultists consider gun ownership by any but the "Only Ones" to be "wrongdoing."
The other thing is, these lawsuits aren't cheap, and the precedents they establish benefit more than just the plaintiffs. Take a look at all the ones they're funding throughout the land as well as their past successes.
They could sure use a hand.
An Unindicted Hater
A Condition of Employment
Wayne County Worker Fired after Finding Gun on the Job [More]He should have redeemed that piece of junk at a "buyback". No questions asked.
Pretty nice gig otherwise, though, getting a retirement package at his age. Public "service" sure dispenses benefits most private wealth-generating enterprises would be hard-put to offer. Sounds to me like there's more going on here. Between bureaucrats and public employee unions, I don't see a dog in this fight I really want to win.
Render Unto Caesar
“The filibuster is exactly that — it’s a rule that’s crippled our system of government. Undocumented youth, perhaps like no other group, understands about the legislative process,” said Caesar Vargas, an illegal immigrant who went through college and law school and could benefit from the Dream Act legalization bill. “We have lived it; we have shed tears for it. And we have seen a minority able to cripple dreams.” [More]"Our system."
Hit it, Shirley...
This Day in History: May 16
It appears to me, from the above mentioned Papers, that the said ship Flora is not a good Prize, the same belonging to the Subjects of a Neutral Nation: But that the Cargo is really the property of the Subjects of the King of England tho' attempted to be masqu'd as neutral. [More]

A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed for All
Our Guest Speaker will be David Codrea...[More]Oh, gosh, I LOVE that guy!
Who Knew?
Who knew? For nearly 28 years 50,000 machine guns have been silently among us. [More]
Ummm...this guy?
A reliable source who tells me he’s spoken to former employees and the former owner of the company in question estimates “Approximately 50,000 were manufactured prior to the cut-off.”We're talking the same 50,000 guns, right...?
Issa invites questions while staffers ignore them
In any case, the individual staffers and their Committee have all benefited from reliable information, introductions and leads shared by Gun Rights Examiner and Mike Vanderboegh at Sipsey Street Irregulars. So it should be unnecessary at this point to have to go back to publicly decrying lack of Congressional responsiveness, but if that’s the only path left open for “Unauthorized Journalists” to get action, at least it’s a tried and true one. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report tries to pry some information out of those who should know better than to withhold it. Be interesting to see if it works...
If People Were Inclined
We're the Only Ones with Exclusive Access Enough
Only troopers have access to the locker room area...[More]If we can't trust Garden State Only Ones, how can we trust anyone?

We're the Only Ones Inked Enough
I hesitated to make this an "Only Ones' post, because, aside from carrying guns in Los Angeles, what they're doing isn't really all that exclusive. If the "monopoly of violence" get their way, we could all be sporting tattoos! [Read]
Right, it could never happen here. They're just a few bad apfels...

Unintended Consequences
"I want to thank Ted Celeste and Tracy Maxwell Heard for helping to make this fundraiser such a huge success." [More]That's pretty funny, and helps highlight the trademark incompetence of these two boobs.
Scare Tactics
In place of real terrorists carrying out easy plots, we have “terrorist” plots dreamed up by FBI and CIA agents, who then recruit some hapless or demented dupes, bribing them with money and heroic images of themselves, and supplying them with the plot and fake explosives. These are called “sting operations,” but they are not. They are orchestrations by our own security agencies that produce fake terrorist plots that are then “foiled” by the security agencies that hatched the plots. Washington’s announcement is always: “The public was never in danger.” Some terrorist plot! We have never been endangered by one, but the airports have been on orange alert for 11.5 years. [More]Like that bridge too far.
Think about it--if you or I wanted to carry out destructive, disruptive and even murderous acts, how hard would it really be? Is it really fear of getting caught that stops us, or just the simple truth that basically good people don't do monstrously evil things?
And if we could do it, what's stopping the motivated "pros"?

We're the Fauxnly Ones Pulling for You Enough
Someone who may be posing as a police officer is pulling cars over on Mississippi highways and then shooting drivers dead, authorities said. [More]The Fauxnly Ones...they're not as unheard of as some may think.
Bust Time for Bimbo
New Jersey state police spokesman Lt. Stephen Jones said New Jersey requires security guards to undergo training under the Security Officer Registration Act and be fingerprinted. The fingerprints are run through the state police criminal history database before a guard is certified. [More]Well then, as long as their illegal alien unsolved murder victim impersonators have all been New Jersey-certified...
Blood on Their Hands
When this all shakes out in the end Holder and company won't be the only ones with blood on their hands. How about a criminally silent media? [More]And how about those who could make a difference but...?
This Day in History: May 15
The English Powers, really consist more in the fears of their Ennemies than any thing else. [More]
