Suspected cop killer and manhunt target left manifesto demanding 'gun control'
Who in there [sic] right mind needs a [redacted] silencer!!! who [sic] needs a freaking SBR AR15? No one. No more Virginia Tech, Columbine HS, Wisconsin temple, Aurora theater, Portland malls, Tucson rally, Newtown Sandy Hook. Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress an assault weapons ban needs to be re-instituted. Period!!! [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report brings you a manifesto written by someone definitely not in his right mind, so you can judge for yourself the type of people who agree with this mad dog. Grab this one quick, because I link to an unredacted copy of his manifesto--the mainstream media has complied with LAPD's request to scrub what they produce. Push comes to shove, I have a copy of the text should the site I link to go dark.
One of Us
To put it simply, he’s one of us. [More]Uh, yeah, about that...
As more and more of these turncoats start coming out, silence from Fairfax may just imply tacit consent, and even indicate they and a cadre of industry compromisers are getting cover on preemptive surrender while they mouth public words of opposition. I would love to be proven flat-out wrong on this suspicion and look forward to an immediate statement from NRA on penalty consequences it will exact for cowardice under fire.

UPDATE: He's demanding "gun control" and praising Obama. He's also showing how one guy with the right tactical knowledge, crazy or no, can disrupt an entire AO and show the state for how vulnerable its enforcers really are. I link to his manifesto in this piece--the mainstream media scrubbed their copy at request of LAPD--this links to the unscrubbed version--we'll see h0ow long it stays up, I suggest everyone make a copy.
Code Red for Code Red?
This seriously pissed me off, saw it on the Code Red Facebook page. They were actually proud of what they'd done, which is condone gun theft by giving gift cards to those who turned guns in. According to them, they destroyed the guns without returning them to the rightful owners, in the case of obviously stolen guns...I'm not seeing it there, but do note some displeased comments.
...If you read Mr Vega's comments, he said they notify the owners of stolen guns but he "could not care less" what happens to the guns once they're turned in. [More]
Here's a Facebook screen grab that includes deleted comments from the owner:
There's more discussion over at The High Road and if you start looking, all over the place.
I just don't have time to go through all those threads and evaluate the comments. If anybody has light to bring to this, please feel free to educate us all.

Look at the way the article manipulates, starting out with a horrifying anecdote just to set everyone's mood before they lay this on them:
Most Americans already think gun trafficking is a federal crime — but it’s not. They have no idea that there is no federal law targeting firearms traffickers who commonly use “straw purchasers” to buy guns for convicted felons and other dangerous criminals who cannot legally buy guns on their own.Really? So I can lie with impunity on question 11.a.? That bit about it being a "crime punishable as a felony" on page 2 is just to fill up space on the form?
Tell me again why these people have gone through hell over accusations they allowed 4473s to be falsified?

Breaking News, CNN's John Avlon-Style
They are among the 500 names on the National Rifle Association's absurd new "enemies list"...The first thing that struck me was the preponderance of '70s sitcom stars who are apparently among the leading threats to gun rights in America today...[More]That's because it isn't new, you ignorant, lazy dolt. And it's not an "enemies list," it's a list of prominent people and businesses that have initiated public attacks on the right to keep and bear arms over the years. The antis even had an "NRA Blacklist" site up for years (which I made fun of time and again here), and Dustin Hoffman even got press 10 years back saying he wanted to be on it.
What everyone is reacting to is an ILA update (from last September, by the way) of a page that's been around for many years--the earliest one I can find using the Wayback Machine Internet Archive is from 2003, but I recall seeing the list before then. And here's the "NRA Blacklist" site, also from 2003.
And the thing is, all the "Authorized Journalists" seem to be jumping on this "story." They get their talking points and a meme is born.
But God forbid they actually spend five minutes Googling their subject matter before deciding their hysterical and uninformed judgmentalism is worth propagating on major news websites and influencing millions even less informed than they are. They don't care though, because "Mission Accomplished." I guess as long as they're pleasing their masters, they don't give a damn if they've traded in any vestige of integrity and settled for being useful idiots and hacks.
But I guess when SPLC puts out a list -- even if it causes some of their "gunloon" followers to plan hunting expeditions -- that's OK with these hive insects. And if the government wants to deprive Americans of due process and unalienable rights by creating their lists, and in secret, why, that's even better.
Yeah, Avlon, "most of America." You keep guzzling your own swill, you tool.

February 6, 1781 at Grant's Creek, Rowan County, North Carolina - To prevent unnecessary losses in attempting to cross at Trading Ford, Cornwallis moved up river some distance to Shallow Ford. At the same time he sent Tarleton in advance to reconnoiter. Tarleton encountered Col. Francis Lock and 100 North Carolina militia who were engaged in destroying the bridge at Grant's Creek. Tarleton sent a detachment up to around the mouth of the creek, for purposes of taking Locke from the rear. As a result, Locke's troops were dispersed, though with only 1 wounded. Cornwallis later crossed the Yadkin at Shallow Ford during the night, and was on the opposite bank by the 7th. Conclusion: British Victory [More]

Snafu keeps gun dealers in jail as attorney urges investigation of prosecutors
“They are waiting for the ankle monitors to get in for the release. United States Probation is getting them,” it was explained.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report brings the latest outrage this poor family must endure, courtesy of that entity Constitutionally mandated "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."
What this means is, the only reason the father and son have not already been released and must wait until at least Monday to be able to rejoin their family, is because those holding them are unable to comply with the judge’s order, and made no preparations anticipating the likely potential that a prosecution relying on suppression of evidence to win convictions might be overruled.

He'll be broadcasting live tonight from WGUL Talk Radio 860 in Tampa instead of from his regular digs high atop the Crossbreed Tower in the heart of metropolitan Atlanta...and I just got off the phone with him and he may be bringing me on earlier, but regardless, I'll be there for the RT.
Minnesota Alert
Who's working on fighting this? [Read]
Anybody got a handle on its chances?
I ask, because I go here, and based on the level of support, it looks like Minnesota gun owners must want it to pass. Is the lack of support because they don't know about it, don't care about it, or are they just confident they have the votes to strangle it in its crib?
Who else is doing what?

Killing the Messenger
Gayle Trotter has made herself a target of those who would rather see her raped and strangled than armed. [Read]
See?
When both The New York Times and The Washington Post are out there blaring the same talking points, you just know her message scares the hell out of the powers that be.
And the thing is, their arguments are the same old stale, discredited ones, dusted off for this latest character assassination/disinformation campaign. Note they make no attempt to separate women living in criminal environments from the general population. Note also they limit DGUs to when a gun is "fired" for their comparison, as opposed to the mere presentation that can break off an attack with no further action needed. What that does is penalizes good armed citizens for not being the bloodthirsty trouble-seekers they paint us to be.
UPDATE: Naturally, Salon piles on. Hey Katie McDonough--let's say hypothetically a male (I don't honor such types by calling them "men") is getting ready to do whatever the hell he wants to you, and there's no one around to save you. What would you do? And Slate...
And Campus Progress ("young people working together for progressive change")
Say, this meme is getting quite the workout from those "women's' rights" champions. It's almost like the so-called "feminist" movement actually hates women...

A Case to Watch
How can you be investigated for years, yet upon serving a search warrant you don’t put forth any charges against a man when you confiscate nearly 1,500 firearms? [More]Good question.

The Correction that Wasn't
Drudge's observation is corroborated by comments on the same AP story as it appeared on Tulsa World, again with no correction notice issued:
Basic journalistic ethics: You mess up, you man up and admit it, and point out the correction. You don't just hide it and hope no one notices. That's something a sneaky kid would do. And don't believe for a moment that just one person was in on this decision.
These are the people feeding gun information to the masses. No wonder when those masses are polled, the results reflect the ignorance and manipulation they've been subjected to by our Fourth Estate/Fifth Columnist "Authorized Journalist" Corps.
UPDATE: Doug Rink took a screenshot, and advises by email that the NYT made the same ignorant error but at least issued a correction.
