Notes from the Resistance...
The widow of a New York City police officer claims her husband committed suicide because his supervisor demanded sex from him in exchange for a favorable work schedule and job assignments. [More]Yeah, right, these misfit headcases are trustworthy and you and I aren't.
“Viewing the significance of the suppressed evidence in relation to the record as a whole,” Brack wrote, the Court concludes that Defendants’ Motion for a New Trial should be granted.” [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner breaking story brings some happy news, along with further evidence of a corrupt prosecution.
Not wanting to be bothered with details in an ideological conflict is intentionally putting on blinders. It’s like soldiers on the battlefield not wanting to know about enemy positions, capabilities, movements and logistics. In war time and in peace, people die to obtain such information, and people die from the lack of it, and yet we have a significant percentage of self-styled activist gun owners who not only don’t care, but disparage and discourage its collection and dissemination. Since when is that a winning attitude? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column points to a chair more of us would do well to pick up and swing in this bar fight being forced upon us.
Vonvo.com is a new video chatting website allowing individuals to discuss trending news stories in a structured and organized environment. Think AOL Chatrooms 2.0. We are fostering a community where individuals are able to openly "Speak Their Minds!" [More]I was asked to participate but I can't get all the work already on my plate done as it is. If anyone thinks this is the type of venue you'd be interested in joining, and if you're on Facebook, you can learn more by "friending" Max Ringelheim.
Criminals used handguns in 46% more offences, Home Office statistics revealed. [More]And funny thing about those UK crime reporting statistics...
But critics say that this focus unfairly singles out people with serious mental illness, who studies indicate are involved in only about 4 percent of violent crimes and are 11 or more times as likely than the general population to be the victims of violent crime.Blanket dragnet anyone?
And many proposals — they include strengthening mental health services, lowering the threshold for involuntary commitment and increasing requirements for reporting worrisome patients to the authorities — are rushed in execution and unlikely to repair a broken mental health system, some experts say. [More]
What was omitted from all of this was the fact that it was actually the Assistant US Attorney’s office in Las Cruces that threw Deputy Batts under the bus and publicly tarnished his name. [More]A-yup.
If Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, who just won re-election comfortably, were to make that case, he might change a few minds, given his unquestionable support for Second Amendment rights. [More]Yeah, who would question Manchin?
In the later months of the Revolutionary War, Lord Charles Cornwallis marched his British forces through the backcountry of North Carolina to intercept General Nathanael Greene and his Patriot troops. On February 1, 1781, the Battle of Cowan’s Ford, near present-day Mecklenburg County, was General Greene’s attempt to prevent a full scale battle with the superior British forces. Although Lord Cornwallis successfully tricked the Patriot forces at Cowan’s Ford, General Greene was able to elude the British with his “fight-and-retreat” strategy. [More]
Right. Only a nutty conservative website would find the whole concept of laughing at shooting sprees disturbing and more than a bit hypocritical when you consider who finds such efforts worthy of critical acclaim. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner review gives two thumbs down to the elites cashing in on fantasy "gun violence" while undermining our right to protect ourselves in the real world.
Ali Haleem, 45, is the 11th officer charged in a continuing federal investigation of Chicago police, called Operation Tow Scam... He became a snitch for the feds after they confronted him with his attempted extortion...[More]Forget it Jake.
Adults Favor Gun Control in Post-Newtown Era [More]No, because that's a childish position adopted by those who have not undergone the rigors of grown-ups to secure their liberty by being informed. Forming opinions vital to that liberty based on media pablum is hardly the act of a mature mind.
Editorial: Gun-control debate is personal for Chicagoans [More]You don't think it's personal for the Reese family?
An appeal is being made to supporters of the family because “they will not be able to be released unless they can raise the cash bond amounts.” Attorneys “who have been working tirelessly” need to be paid as well, the appeal continues, as “there have been a lot of expenses involved in the case since the end of the trial. [More]This evening's late night breaking Gun Rights Examiner story brings happy news--but only if those who agree that a grave injustice has been done are willing to help. Please contribute, it doesn't matter how little, to help get Rick and Ryin out before the weekend, and please, if ever a story needed to be spread in a short amount of time, share this link with everyone you think will agree.
Ban those guns. Neuter them. I'm fine with it. I can hunt with my shotguns and my deer gun (although I've grown tired of hunting), and I can protect myself from miscreants with my trusty .38.
To some in the gun-owning fraternity, this view makes me a traitor. [More]Ah, finally, a point we can agree on!
Jersey City police say man had illegal rifle, handguns, prohibited bullets in home [More]It's not like he committed a real crime or anything.
This week's crime scene: Leaving a pharmacy after dark, a customer is ambushed by a shotgun wielding robber, but this criminal didn't know that his would-be victim had a legal permit to carry a concealed weapon...justice is dealt out in the parking lot.

Officials with the Luna County Sheriff's Office say one of their own was thrown under the bus during the Monday proceeding in which attorneys for the Reese family argued for a new trial. [More]I'm a victim of coicumstance!
Gun rights activists will be watching intently for how LaPierre reacts to questioning, as well as how citizen disarmament advocates pressure him. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report links you to the C-SPAN hearings, just now getting under way.
The sheriffs will aggressively oppose federal or state legislation which infringes upon law abiding citizens’ right to bear arms. [More]I wonder if SPLC is going to classify them as a hate group now...

Black Women's Agenda Announces Initiative Supporting Gun Control Legislation [More]I wonder what Grandma would say about that...
The ordeal of the Reese family continues as a growing sense emerges among those watching the convolutions and misrepresentations and evidence of corruption at all levels -- a suspicion among some and a certainty among others -- that the wrong people have been put on trial, and that their scapegoating is being continued lest the entire official web of deceit unravels. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report brings the latest installment in an ongoing persecution that's looking more and more like official criminals are willing to put scapegoats through hell if it means avoiding accountability. The outstanding reporting on this by Tea Party Patriots of Luna County is something you won't get in the mainstream media, and this story is one of outrageous injustice that ought to be of interest and concern to all civil rights advocates. But it won't get out unless you help, something the family is counting on us to do.
I confess that I have a very personal bias against guns. In August of 1941, SS men rounded up the Jewish leaders and intellectuals of the Belarus town of Ivye and machine gunned them to death before burying them anonymously in a mass grave. Among them was my wife Jeanie's grandfather. The following month, on September 29-30, 1941, more than 30,000 Jews were similarly murdered in a ravine called Babi Yar in the Ukrainian city of Kiev. Machine guns preceded Zyklon B gas as the Germans' preferred means of committing mass genocide. [More]Yeah, damn guns in private hands!
Sure, I had frightened away an intruder, defended my castle. But I could have just as easily been killed by him or accidentally shot myself or my partner. Hundreds of hours of range time didn’t mean anything in the confusion of the moment. [More]Everybody in comments is saying they don't believe him.

Feinstein has assurance assault weapon ban will get a vote [More]Wait a minute--I thought that's why we were told Harry Reid was such a key player--to keep stuff like this off the floor... And she even thinks it's going to pass the Senate.
Feinstein told CBS’ “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer that she had made a concession by not requiring that current owners of military-style weapons register their firearms. “I would like to see them all registered, but it’s not in our bill,” she said.So no NFRTR/$200 transfer tax--this time.

I am Trying to Collect the Militia, to Make {a Stand at this place. Genl [William L.] Davidson} with {five hundred} Militia two hundred and fifty of which are without flints, I have ordered to Beaties ford. We are filling all the Private fords so as to Make them impasseable.[1] The one that I Lie at I intend to Leave Open. On Lord Cornwallis' approach I thought it advisable to Order all the Prisoners and Stores from Salisbury towards the Moravian Town. I am told they {are gone under a} Weak guard. I wish some of them dont get away. [More]
As a journalist, I lived on the anti-gun side of the national divide for most of my life without questioning. Finally, in editing a daily Opinion page, I saw all the pro- and anti- arguments and statistics. Eventually, the truth became crystal clear: the pro-gun side was right by weight of fact and reason over the anti’s torrent of emotion and feelings. [More]It can be done. All you need is a person of intelligence and integrity.
No less an authority than our own federal government, under Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama, officially designates these “personal defense weapons.” Why would you want to ban those?Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary recommends adopting the government's terminology. And throwing it back in their damn faces every chance we get.
You’re not against personal defense, are you? [More]
The ad has generated sharp criticism from other area officials and anti-violence advocates. The president of the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs' Association, Roy Felber, said it sounds like a call to vigilantism.Actually, dumb @$$, you're the one who doesn't sound too smart.
"That doesn't sound too smart," Felber said. "People have the right to defend themselves, but they don't have the right to take the law into their own hands." [More]
"The last thing I want to do is for a guy to go to his car and come back shooting," said Levine... [More]Well, doesn't that just tell you what "Outdoor Sports Group" thinks of gun owners? You can tell Mr. Levine what you think of the way he portrays his customers to the media: marc@osgshows.com
Lax controls allow the easy flow of guns across the border and undermine U.S. efforts to combat drug trafficking and transnational gangs. [More]No, of course it's not a call to come clean on Fast and Furious, which isn't even mentioned.
I am of opinion that it will promote the service to form our troops into two brigades, as well for the facility of manoeuvering as for magnifying our force with the enemy, the Maryland troops to form one and Virginia troops the other. [More]
