Notes from the Resistance...
The state police have received their first applications from Connecticut residents seeking to register assault weapons... [More]Way to surrender--not just your birthright, but your children's. Why the HELL do you think they demand you register?
Among young people ages 14 to 24 who received care in a hospital emergency department for assault-related injuries, 23% said they owned a firearm in the past six months. And only 17% of those reporting firearm possession obtained it legally... [More]Since "ownership," that is, an exclusive right conferred by a lawful claim or title, IS a legal term, "possession" hardly qualifies. If you stole my property, or bought it from someone who did, it is not yours.
The newspaper said Darrell Joy, 41, was stopped by city police while driving Saturday night ... Police confiscated two small plastic bags of marijuana, a loaded .45-caliber firearm and his deputy identification and badge. [More]Oh, and look: He took them off some kid. Or wait, he found them on the ground and picked them up so no children would find them.
The yelling Indians and Loyalists were received with a deadly volley from behind trees and stumps. Then the enemy made a desperate rush on- the-right wing and would have succeeded if not for Captain McKean with his fifty men (which had been held in reserve) poured a deadly volley into them. [More]
2013 Session Ends. All Anti-Gun Bills Are Dead. The 2013 Legislative Session has ended. I can recall no session where the efforts to strip you of your liberties were more intense...Do not underestimate how remarkable that accomplishment is. And make no mistake, your activism is all that stood between us and a total loss of our gun rights. [More]Meaning now is not the time to relax, it's the time to regroup and replenish, and to prepare for the time when the dead will rise and attack again.
After her daughter was nearly abducted, Vicki opened The Women’s Shooting Academy to “educate, encourage and empower” women. The firearms instructor strongly believes every woman is responsible for her own personal safety, and offers free classes to any woman with a signed protective order. [Watch]I really enjoyed this video. What differences there are between confident armed women cherished by secure men, and the helpless, vacuous cud-chewers who dress their unprotected offspring up like livestock.
While focused on the power Walton now has over privacy rights and more, it’s also important to understand where he stands on the rest of the Bill of Rights, and, of special interest to this column’s readership, on the Second Amendment. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a tendency of the controlling class: If they don't respect one right, chances are others that don't comport with their worldview will also be disregarded, ignored, infringed upon and generally despised.
I was asked to review this book, but my plate is just so full there is no way I can commit the time it would take to give it the focus such a request deserves. So the best I can do is just pass along the information to those of you who will be intrigued by the premise, and trust you will let others know what you thought.
This is the story of the struggles women face to overcome insecurities, fears, users and abusers. The paths taken as they discover independence, self-empowerment, and faith. It is not an endorsement of a particular brand, type, style, or caliber of handgun, but of the proper education and use of a firearm and the personal choice to legally carry a concealed handgun. However, that choice is not the main focus of the book. This is the story of women, of friends, of family, of faith. [More]
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it's enemy action.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that our new book, The Rookie’s Guide to Guns and Shooting, Handgun Edition, launches today. It’s free from Amazon.com today and tomorrow (July 9-10) so be sure to grab a copy.Seems like a more than fair request. And, as they're the target readership, you might want to pass this info on to any rookies you know before the window of opportunity closes.
Here’s the direct link.
If you don't have a Kindle, no worries, Amazon offers free reader apps for iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets and any computer. All I ask is that, if you like it, just leave a review on Amazon.com.
A Mexican drug cartel known for kidnapping random civilians and beheading its rivals has expanded its operations into the U.S. [More]Brought to you by government, media collaborators and an idiot electorate.
On July 9. 1781, a party of Indians and Loyalist numbering about 300 under the command of Lieutenant John Dockstader(l) entered the Currytown settlement(2). It was about ten in the morning and most of the settlers were busy in their fields. [More]
In terms of a critique, mine is simple. I liked it. Candidly, some the subjects say some things I don’t agree with, others say things I do. Overall I think it’s masterfully done, and provides information that too few have been exposed to. I believe the reaction of most gun owners will be similar. And I believe most non-gun owners, at least those who aren’t doctrinaire anti-gun zealots, will find the subject matter approachable and the justifications presented sensible. In terms of providing a counter to a lifetime of media indoctrination, that's actually huge. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner review asks if you're willing to spend a few minutes to help get a pro-gun message out to a mass audience, and even tells you what's in it for you.
David Codrea guest co-hosts the entire three hours, Charles Heller of the JPFO crew, FFL holder Hank Whaley talks MD gun control laws, Kris Koenig, Emmy award winning producer and director discusses his newest film “Assaulted, Civil Rights Under Fire”, from Grassroots North Carolina, Paul Valone, Seanto and more!
They said “it can’t happen here.” But increasingly, many of our fellow Americans are just now realizing how close we are to tyranny. [More]
People who don’t understand police work simply won’t understand police humor. [More]Then again, maybe some of us understand perfectly well...
NOTE: Only law enforcement professionals may comment on articles.I wonder what people would say to them were that not the case...
Introducing Gun Geo Maker the creation of gun hating left wing nut... [More]Do they have one that pinpoints unarmed "progressives"?
...digital media strategy, voter intelligence efforts and the deployment of computer-backed ‘Get Out the Vote’ field technologies... [More]A-yup.
Meet The Chief Justice Of America’s Secret Supreme Court [More]You know, this guy.
SWAT teams raiding poker games and trying to stop underage drinking? [More]I'm sure glad I'm not "Fairfax County, Virginia, detective David Baucum."
If criminal background checks and requiring photo IDs really do produce unlawfully discriminatory rights-denying results, the inescapable conclusion is agents of the government are willfully, with premeditation, engaged in a criminal conspiracy to disenfranchise minorities from their right to keep and bear arms. On two different fronts. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes the Obama administration is claiming in court that if you require criminal background checks, you may be a racist. Aside from being a great launching point for a Jeff Foxworthy parody, they're directly contradicting the position they take on guns.
Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed legislation Friday that would have made it a Missouri crime for federal agents to attempt to enforce federal gun laws in the state and could have landed journalists in jail for publishing the names of gun owners. [More]But...but...but...
Wouldn’t it have been easier to talk about the fact that the rubber balls weren’t anything to brawl over? [More]
The troops are perfectly ready, and will proceed to Portsmouth to wait the arrival of the transports. I will give immediate orders about the artillery, stores, &c. [More]
How anyone can track guns without even attempting to, or botch a sting that has no mark, are questions those who spread such excuses never try to answer. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes more deaths, and rejects writing them off as mere fallout from a "mistake," especially since that position is unsupportable and directly contradicted by whistleblower assertions presented two-and-a-half damn years ago.
"I consider this lawyering at its worst,” Lewis declared. “I promptly went the Mississippi Bar Association and picked up three complaint forms for each attorney involved.” [More]
It is a big deal because he had a bullet chambered in the gun and he had the safety off… [More]As I've noted before, I have no idea why anyone who considers himself "freedom-oriented" has anything to do with this obnoxious carnival barker.
Neither Giffords, shot in the head during a Tucson attack in 2011, nor Kelly is interested in taking a single weapon from any law-abiding gun owner. [More]That's just not true. From Kelly's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee:
And, finally, let’s have a careful and civil conversation about the lethality of the firearms we permit to be legally bought and sold. You can’t just walk into a store and buy a machine gun, but you can easily buy a semi-automatic high velocity assault rifle and/or high capacity ammunition magazines. We should come together and decide where to draw that line in such a way that it protects our rights and communities alike.
As many rifle rounds are also chambered for handgun as well, the entire stock of certain rifle rounds could certainly be banned. [More]True, there is very little chance this will pass now.
I just saw the "No more names" bus getting on I-10 eastbound from Ray Rd in Phx, AZ.I'd love it if an independent gas station operator refused to sell them fuel.
[I]f you wanted to go to central casting and say, 'Give me one alderman that represents the culture and the history and the kind of spirit of Chicago,' Dick Mell would pop up and he would win the casting call without a doubt. [More]And doesn't that just say it all?
A three-judge panel of the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled yesterday against the state attorney general’s petition to undo an injunction blocking a firearms open carry law from going into effect. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report can't help but notice merits don't matter and form trumps function. If you think about it, that's a very dangerous and arrogant attitude to take, especially when justice is being over procedural matters denied and the truth is so obvious.
A University of Virginia student had just bought some bottled water, cookie dough and ice cream for a sorority fundraiser when a group of people in plainclothes approached her car. One person jumped on her hood, another pulled a gun on her... [More]Seems like a perfectly reasonable reaction if they suspect a college student of buying beer, don't you think?
General Benjamin Lincoln, who calls off a proposed attack when the element of surprise is compromised, commands the Patriot forces. [More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at an official Catch 22 where the victims are punished again by the state and even its top enforcers can offer no other option but for local cops to break the law.
In today’s post, Smith gave an example of how a gun owner would become part of “Colorado’s new criminal class,” being victimized once by a burglar and a second time by the state, citing the fictitious example of "Diane," who had a hypothetical "Glock Model 17" stolen. [More]
And in a Bizarro parody of the Declaration of Independence that, true to the nature of all “progressive” claims, means just the opposite of what they say, they demand government control the populace in an even more “perfect,” that is, perfectly totalitarian union. Considering that Bloomberg and his fellow mayoral travelers are government “officials,” it’s akin to British colonial officials penning the foundational document from 1776 to argue George III needed more power. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes that to Bloomberg, "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY" is more than just an Orwellian quote -- it's a way of life. It also suggests a Five-Minute Activism task that lets you join in for some Alinsky Rule 5 fun.
This was but one of many Bloomberg embarrassments. [More]"Magical Misery Tour," my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column, is now online.
An enterprize, which I have long had in contemplation, will be executed in the course of this night, if Genl. Lincoln, who commands the operating party, finds the attack advisable upon reconnoitring the situation of the enemy, and he can do it by surprise. [More]
“Then we were asked to form a circle, and the media was crowding themselves in the middle to get the mass civil disobedience that was about to happen on video,” the report by blogger Ironwill III continues. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a circle of freedom that should be encouraged to grow. Includes video.
The sheriff’s department says they’ve received more than 50 complaints from people just out enjoying the woods when they were stopped by an overly aggressive forest service officer. [More]If we weren't, that authoritarian thug would have disappeared without a trace long before he reached 50.
“[T]he Motion incorrectly declares that District Attorney [Robert Schuler] Smith is bringing this matter in his capacity as ‘the chief legal officer of the State of Mississippi,” the petition documents in an ironic comment about lack of standing that illustrates a presumption of non-existent authority and questionable legal competence on the part of both the DA and the Southern Poverty Law Center attorney backing the power grab. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes quick action in the Magnolia State. The AG really gave a great beatdown against partisan dirty tricks, and it looks like the Supreme Court, by ordering a 5 p.m. response, is not amused with the antis' shenanigans.
I’m terrified that next time I’m mowing the lawn I’ll run over a bullet that hasn’t been found yet. [More]Perhaps some day he'll be terrified because he can't find any.
That the administration knows full well there is no way they can keep the weapons out of the hands of fanatical terrorist enemies of the United States is obvious. Also obvious is that at the same time it is bent on supplying arms to the worst of the worst, it is doing everything in its power to impose infringements on American gun owners. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a quick way to tell your friends from your mortal enemies.
But as that may not be the case, and as it may be found expedient after our junction with the French Army to take a position lower down – you will keep all your Stores ready to move at a moments warning, by land or water. [More]
