Notes from the Resistance...
Alabama hunter Gene Myers said he will disregard calls for a boycott.
"People who say they will boycott ... are doing so for political reasons and blowing lots of smoke," he said. "When I am in the woods or mountains hunting, politics is the farthest thing from my mind." [More]
The Enemy is now professedly carrying on a predatory [War] against us, contrary to the Custom of civilised Nations; a Board of Refugees has been some time sitting at New York upon the Subject of Depredation, and consulting upon the most effectual Methods of plundering the defenceless part of the Inhabitants of the American States; in which they are avowedly authorised & supported by the British King & his Generals. Several private People have lately been robbed, their Houses burned, & their Estates ruined by the Crews of British Ships. Arnold is at this time preparing a great number of flat-bottomed Boats at Portsmouth; notoriously for the Purpose of plundering the Tobacco Warehouses, & the Inhabitants upon the Rivers & Creeks in Virginia & Maryland. [More]
“Ashton Carter has not said anything about wanting private weapons in the US destroyed or supporting a ban on gun ownership," the analysis concludes. While readers are free to disagree with that assessment, fairness would dictate dissenters should be able to produce a sourced citation.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report cautions that those on the side of truth have a special duty to test and verify what we represent as such.
Just one will do. [More]
We are doing most of the heavy lifting with more than 20 active court cases. It is imperative we collect as many resources as possible to defend the Second Amendment from attacks by anti-gun laws in every city and state from coast to coast. WE NEED YOUR MOST GENEROUS HELP NOW!
Police say 40-year-old Nathaniel David Juratovac fired shots at a passing car while driving down U.S. Highway 1 South between Watson Road and Southwood Road. [More]Nice. And the victim had his wife and 17-month-old daughter in his car.
One of the individuals in Juratovac's car is a member of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office and was a witness to the incident.Just a witness? Seriously?
Fortunately, no one would have cause to suspect the Obama administration of such shenanigans, would they? Still, with demand for checks being created in record numbers thanks to the aforementioned surge, sheer volume seizing up servers appears to be a legitimate factor for concern. [More]My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.
Illegal gun carrying should be treated the same way. The risky behavior itself should be punished; waiting until something terrible happens isn't good enough. [More]Actually, I started doing it in Southern California under the advice of an investigating cop following a credible threat where he and his partner admitted to me they could do nothing until it was acted on, and who knew, my being an unconnected "nobody," that I couldn't get a permit if my life depended on it.
You can feel at least temporarily reassured when a long-barreled assault weapon compensates for just another average manhood; it's an irresistable testosterone high to the beleaguered white male. [More]Mark Karlin, who has essentially failed at every "gun control" effort he's tried over the years, tells us quite a bit about his personal fantasies in this projection piece.
A group of congressional Democrats has signed on to new legislation that would mandate liability insurance for all gun owners in the United States — and fine those who refuse to purchase it as much as $10,000. [More]I'm not even going to try to fight anything like this -- politically.
“We cannot allow gun violence to become commonplace,” Preckwinkle said, calling gun violence an “epidemic.” [More]You already have. You and your kind have guaranteed it. And the ones behind the violence, naturally, are exempt from paying.
Former GA. State Rep. and FFL/gun store owner Sean Jerguson in the studio talks background checks and everything the mainstream media isn’t telling you about pending gun control legislation. Callers, emails and David Codrea, with the Ogre, Mark and Sean in the roundtable. Can you be a democrat and a gun guy? We’ll answer the question and talk to a democrat from SD. Great show!Sunday night's program is now online. As usual, I was in the third hour "Roundtable":
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said people can give up illegal guns in exchange for gift cards, "no questions asked." [More]That's exactly what the enterprising zip gun designer did.
Children screamed in terror and hid under the pews at Hiawatha Church of God in Christ on Sunday... [More]Perhaps that's because Ohio law, with it's ominously-titled "Forbidden Carry Zones," acknowledges the right of "places of worship" to require such blood sacrifice?
A police officer is suing a petrol station owner after apparently tripping on a kerb on his property when called to reports of a suspected break-in. [More]Why mess around with amateur thieves when you can call in a team of trained professionals?
On April 2, 1781, a force of Chickamauga Cherokee led by Dragging Canoe attacked the fort at the bluffs. The Indians succeeded in luring most of the men out of the fort, then cutting them off from the entrance. But the settlers managed to escape back to the fort while the Cherokee captured their horses. They also had help from the fort's dogs, turned loose by the women. [More]
Campaign promises free shotguns to residents of troubled Tucson neighborhood [More]I see pros to this, but also cons. I dunno. I hope no one ends up regretting it.
These specifics directly address original questions posed by Gun Rights Examiner that were sidestepped when for-the-record comments were requested, and would indicate the direction the installations are following comes straight from the Pentagon. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes orders from the top.
Adding another bizarre twist for the depression-plagued exhibitionist in his downward-spiraling career, his former live-in-lover, who left him and then took up residence with someone she describes as "much better endowed," has taken legal steps to keep the dejected comic from contacting her, which ironically, will temporarily prohibit him from owning a gun until a court order is lifted.Also see:
"To get 3 a.m. calls and hear him crying 'Jenny!' in a Forest Gump accent, and then seeing him trailing her the next day in her rear view mirror, has given our client cause to fear for her safety," attorneys for the actress told reporters. [More]
It troubles me that they are discussing “improved” background checks as a cure for anything, much less crime. We have made it clear from the outset. No new gun laws. Not a single one, and it’s high time for the Senators to hear the message. [More]The Captain's Journal points out some flawed thinking.
Over at the Washington Post, two “researchers and consultants on social and political issues” argue that American mass shooters are overwhelmingly white males, and that therefore the opinions of white males on what to do about mass shootings should be discounted. [More]OK, but I don't think they're going to like the results of imposing "solutions" without considering those opinions.
According to local tradition, a stray bullet from this fracas killed an elderly slave woman who was working at a nearby farmhouse, giving rise to a haunted house legend that frightened people away from the site for decades. [More]
Of significance was the government’s key witness, “a twice-convicted felon with a lengthy rap sheet who has earned at least $87,000 from the government over the past few years, including $7,500 for this case,” the report reveals. “Jurors weren’t told the star witness’ convictions involved murder, attempted murder and assault in aid of racketeering.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering notes unethical tactics against good people by federal prosecutors continue to be the norm, just like in the Reese and Shipley cases.
With that as backdrop, independent reports and tips continued to be provided to this column by interested readers, including a military combat veteran relating not just the alleged destruction of ammunition but also the financial advantages he said the Oregon National Guard benefited from by deforming and selling casings as scrap, and also a report alleging similar destruction at an Army base in Wisconsin, Fort McCoy. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a whole lotta deforming going on in time of need and asks: Is it legal?
Sheriff proposes ankle monitors for some seniors [More]And if those don't work, break out the Collars of Obedience!
A Waltham police officer and kiddie party entertainer busted for browsing hardcore child pornography has been ordered to live with his parents 24 hours a day and will be subject to re-arrest if he so much as sneaks a peek at the Internet. [More]Honest to God, I did not set out to make today's theme a special focus on bizarre "Only Ones" -- but good grief! You can't make stuff like this up.
Steve Hyson, 47, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Clark County Superior Court to felony harassment-domestic violence for flinging his wife onto a bed and to fourth-degree assault for breaking his stepson's cheekbone by slamming him into a wall. [More]Hey, maybe they just wouldn't listen...besides, I already asked the most pertinent question.
Investigators found a 7-foot pole with a blade on one side and a spear on another, a metal bayonet, three samurai swords, a .323-caliber bolt-action rifle, a .22-caliber Savage Mark II rifle and a .22-caliber Volcanic starter pistol. [More]I'm just surprised they didn't need to clear a three-block area and call in the explosives demolition boys...
Anti-gun Senator Floyd Prozanski has scheduled hearings for four bills designed to attack your rights and make you and your family less safe. The bills are scheduled to be heard on April 5th at 8:30 am at the Capitol. [More]You gun owners in Oregon who haven't gotten involved: Do you really expect Kevin to do it all alone? Political sympathies notwithstanding, if you benefit from the steadfast work of OFF and don't support it, how does that make you any different from, say, a welfare parasite?
If you think that checking someone’s criminal record before he can check out a gun show is common sense, you've got to make yourself heard. [More]A condition of entry? Really? That's what they mean by "common sense"?
Connecticut Post,
I am very disappointed that a member of your staff made the decision to 'opt out' of our press releases.
I suppose it is easier to ignore the civil rights groups in Connecticut that are actually distributing factual information than it is to recognize that biased reporting, fear mongering and anti-rights witchhunts are immoral and wrong.
When your headlines include things about 'secret arsenals' when that is not backed by any kind of fact, we are dealing with a problem in journalism. Our press release actually counted the ammunition and gave an actual analysis of the ammunition on hand. Something your article fails to do.
Please be aware that we will be posting this flagrant boycott of the truth to our members and to the public so that they may make up their minds about you for themselves. Gun owners have no more reason to read your publications if you are unable to listen to both sides of the debate.
For your information, this is the release that your 'newsroom' unsubscribed from after receiving: http://ctcarry.com/News/Release/a8b16a13-48a8-44d2-b607-8a7a85818d2f
All of our news releases are available here: http://ctcarry.com/News/
If you would like to discuss something offensive or factually incorrect, we would be happy to do so. Otherwise, this is a sad way to deal with issues in this state on your part.
Respectfully,
Rich Burgess
President

Although no arrests were made, Coes said that the warrant is usually the beginning of an investigation. [More]Over Tannerite. Imagine that.
This is exactly why we need to ban high capacity magazines and why we need to tighten our assault weapons ban. [More]Really?
...real Americans who stood for their beliefs, thinking they were patriots and defending their country's ideals against their government. [More]But only for commies.
It's time for a concerted effort to make Mike Bloomberg and his so-called Mayors Against Illegal Guns disclose who their self-proclaimed TV ad gun owner is. [More]I couldn't agree more.
The count had not been unmindful of his instructions to attempt some enterprise for the relief of the American colonies; even before he reached the West Indies he wrote Rochambeau, saying that by the end of June he wished to be fully informed as to the strength and position of the English armies in North America, as a guide for his future action. Not before the middle of July could he leave the West Indies, and as the time for his stay on the American coast must be short, it was important for him to have full information at the earliest possible moment (De Grasse to Rochambeau, March 29, 1781 ; Doniol, v, 488.) [More]
“Let me be clear; I will fight to protect every aspect of the Second Amendment and to support my Illinois colleagues' efforts to bring Concealed Carry to our great state,” he pledged. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary is urging everyone to pick up this wrench and throw it in The Machine.
Police Officers Refused Service at Buffalo Wild Wings Because of Guns [More]Who do these guys think they are, Denny's?
A Detroit police officer who runs a program for troubled teens has been arrested on felony criminal sexual conduct charges involving a victim age 13 to 15. [More]And yet once again with the Eternal Question...
Just when you thought it was safe behind the wheel of your large automobile, government attorneys are trying again to monitor your movements...My car insurance agent sent me a monitoring device with the offer of a discount if I used it.
...A veritable flood of data about drivers -- every turn of the wheel, every application of the brakes -- is about to be unleashed into the open market. [More]
What's killing Canadians? [More]It's certainly not the peaceable armed members of Canada's National Firearms Association.
Legislation proposed by Dallas Democratic Rep. Yvonne Davis would remove any sheriff or law enforcement officer who refuses to enforce state or federal laws. [More]This could get interesting if the bill passes and Oath Keepers refuse to acknowledge it.
It’s pretty hard to stop the trafficking of guns to people who might use them for malign purposes when 33 states require no background checks at all. [More]Yeah, we ought to be more like Mexico. Oh, wait...
At the same time, however, Brig. Gen. Marion attacked and badly cut up his rear guard as it forded the Sampit River, since the bridge had already been partially destroyed by the partisans to impede the British as they retired. His own horse shot out from under him, Lt. Col. Watson then opened up his cannon on Brig. Gen. Marion's men and drove them back. [More]
