Not Alone
Pavlich is not the only commentator to assert that Fast and Furious was an attempt to curb the Second Amendment. NRA executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre said in 2011 that “Fast and Furious” was a “plot to undermine” the right to bear arms. [More]You don't say.
With Spokesmen Like These...
"For example, right now if you go to a gun show, you have registered firearm dealers who are there, but if you have a casual sale ... they're not a registered dealer, perhaps they can make a sale" and conduct a background check because "you've got accessible, they're right there in the same venue, so you can have those background checks done very easily without being a burden." [More]So, Asa --who's going to pay for it, and how is that not a burden? Seeing as how we're talking about a right, how would that not be analogous to, say, a poll tax? And what happens if someone refuses to go along with your demand -- what kind of "burdens" will they be exposed to then?
And then there's this, from NRA "clarifying" their School Shield czar's position with all the skill of Juliet Johnson:
"He meant expanding it to include more people into the national instant check system," the spokesman said. "And by number of people, this is in reference to the quality of information within NICS."You know: Blanket dragnets!
No? I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "adjudicated" is:
“This is a good bill. It is essential to being able to follow the law to keep people with mental illnesses from purchasing firearms.”, says Marion Hammer, National Rifle Association/Unified Sportsmen of Florida.Funny. I'm still not seeing what needs to be said in no uncertain terms:
Under the legislation, anyone voluntarily checking themselves in for mental health treatment would have to sign a form. The form acknowledges they had been ordered to seek help and if they do not go voluntarily, they would be committed. When they sign the form they also give up their right to gun ownership.

When Waiting Isn't Good Enough
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.
I'm sure these hive insects gungrabber idiotorial writers, who don't come right out and say it, but really want to make all carry "illegal," would rather I'd been defenseless. And their brothers in infringement, the "enforce existing gun laws" crowd who think such civil disobedience (that is, obedience to a higher Law) "makes us all look bad" would say I should have waited for them to get their political act together and get popular consensus to change the law. But then, I'd have never had my "illegal" DGU, where I protected myself, my wife and my then-toddler son from multiple aggressors, peaceably, it turned out, since I did not need to fire a shot once presentation was made and our new found acquaintances decided they'd rather not get to know me any better.
I didn't wait for something terrible to happen -- I prevented it. And I resented like hell that the government that fraudulently bills its entire raison d'être on securing life, liberty and property, would --and could-- force such a terrible choice on me.
Under the circumstances, I couldn't very well file a police report either, so the fine young gentlemen were free to move on that night to either easier pickings or a revival meeting, whichever you think more likely.

Biden's "Legitimate Media"
From Connecticut Carry, via email:
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/

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.)
