You make three fundamental miscalculations:

  • You presume, in your ignorance to be the arbiter of what's extreme.
Actually, four. You assume we give a crap what you think, and that it will have any bearing on the truism that the Second Amendment ultimately means what serious men with guns say it does.

Fort Drum brass destruction threatens reloading supply and more

Add to this another source of shortage: The Department of Homeland Security has bought up “more than 10 times what U.S. troops used in a full year of Iraqi combat," stoking fears that the government is preparing for some anticipated action. This is likely to provoke concerns among activist gun owners that the renewed brass destruction is intended for the purpose (articulated the last time this came up by ATK) of keeping it out of civilian hands while the government increases and hoards its stores as if its planning something big.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report calls for Congress to investigate why public law is apparently being violated (again) so that we can determine if it's an oversight or if it's purposefully directed.

This Day in History: January 25

On January 25, during the early morning hours, Lt. Col. Lee's troops slipped undetected down the river and landed on Georgetown's undefended waterfront. He divided his force into two parties: Capt. Carnes led one party to seize Lt. Col. Campbell in his headquarters near the parade ground; Capt. Rudolph led the second party into positions from which they could cut off the garrison as they moved to their defenses or to rescue Lt. Col. Campbell. [More]

Word

Fine words. Stirring words. Words I believe in. [Read]

What's missing is a refusal to enforce laws he says he doesn't believe in, and a pledge to interpose himself between the feds and the citizens he's being paid to protect.

‘Cross lobby’ shows 'progressive' hypocrisy on church-state separation

An occasional recurring theme on “The War on Guns” blog is how the regressive left, as exemplified by groups like “Americans United for the Separation of Church and State,” goes into IRS-siccing hissy fits whenever conservative religious values surface in government affairs. That generally prompts them to point loudly and insistently to the “wall of separation,” cite the First Amendment proscription that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” and generally act like they can’t wait to find a hamlet somewhere with a manger scene in a public park at Christmas so they can tear it down and make someone pay for having their atheist sensibilities offended.

The Push to the Top

From Dead Patriot Films, via email:
We were hoping that some deep-pocket finance types would have shown themselves by now to help us carry this film to the finishing line, but no such luck. Therefore, the crew and I have decided to return to Kickstarter to raise the funds needed to complete the film and take it to theaters by March to be part of the “conversation” while congress debates our 2nd Amendment rights.

Yes, theaters!

Using a similar distribution plan used by the recent film 2016, we’re going to self-promote and distribute the film in major US cities “art house” cinemas. With strong positive reviews, we will then secure traditional distribution. Once the theatrical release is completed, we will then distribute a TV edit to PBS/PTV affiliates for broadcast. Netflix and web streaming will follow by the end of spring.

What happened to the funds from the first round? In the 90 days since receiving $64,000 from Kickstarter (yes, they take a commission!), we hit the road and conducted 50+ interviews and gathered some great footage. Our travels took us up and down California, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Florida and Louisiana. Expenses included t-shirts, hats, insurance, salaries, fuel, lawyers, hotels, airfare and food. We also covered the small loans that carried us from May to October when we were developing the concept for this film.

Now we will recharge the till, set the editor and his crew to work and craft the film that is needed now more than ever. We hope that each of you will consider another donation to our film to help us communicate the importance of “we the people” and the right to “keep and bear arms”.

...should this legislation reach the House floor, you can be assured that I will your position in mind.  

No, [REDACTED], I'm not asking you to [KEEP] anything in mind, I'm DEMANDING that you show leadership on this, or by God, I will work for the damned Democrat just to get your gutlesss butt out of there. The worst one of them could do is push us closer to civil war, and if you're the best the Republicans can offer, the political process is dead anyway.

Pull this "I am a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights" horsesh!+, like people who understand it better than you are some kind of rubes born yesterday. If you're not going to champion the Bill of Rights, of what the hell use to me are you?

"He Stripped Souls as Bare as Bodies"

[More]

I just saw a link to this May 2012 Dave Kopel article on Facebook--I don't believe we talked about it at the time. Here's the important part:
NYPD spokesman Paul J. Browne told the Times that the Bloomberg gun detectors are currently effective at a range of 3 to 5 meters, and that the department is working to extend their range to 25 meters.
You don't say...

Sell-Out Point Man?

“What I hope we can do is get a bill passed out of the Judiciary,” Mr. Reid said. “It may not be everything everyone wants, but I hope it has some stuff in there that’s really important.” [More]
It will have nothing that will do anything but further infringe on the law-abiding and further empower the feds. Nothing.  He knows it and so do we.
 
What's the bill of goods some argued as an excuse not to pay Reid back for his confirmation betrayals? That we need him in that spot because he will keep bills from getting to the floor?

This is sweet. Now he can do his new master's bidding, as well as his old.  Expect him to push forward  preemptive surrender legislation already agreed to by self-interested deal-makers, under the excuse that it will help keep really, really BAD things from happening. And he's already greasing the skids.

If, instead, what was being pushed was the message that we will not be scapegoated, that the effort needs to be on ending gun free zones, and that any politician who betrays us will be targeted for removal, the House wouldn't dare pass firearm and magazine bans, so what happened in Reid's Senate wouldn't matter.

So why would the gun community/industry "leadership" give in on universal registration and blanket mental health dragnets? It's because the well-heeled and connected believe we need to toss the circling jackals a scrap of flesh so they can act like they've won something.  The understanding also evidently precludes embarrassing the Republican establishment -- it's not like Old Yellowstain's balls are anywhere but in his hand, and it's not like his Senate counterparts aren't overcome by the vapors.

Obama's played and won at chicken with this group enough times to know their mettle.  He also knows that scrap will work in politics just like it does in nature.

It's up to us to head all that off.
