A Message for Christie
Please weigh in with Chris Christie right away and tell him that you’re watching what he does, and urge him to veto these bills. [More]Do it in a way to make him think if he does, he'll have a shot at the Big Chair.
The Gun Control Playbook
This is an important story for many reasons, not the least being most of us haven't been aware of the existence of this document, but the antis know about it and have been using it against us. Here are the family ties:
Among GQR’s clients are the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the Joyce Foundation, several state education associations, Defenders of Wildlife, National Public Radio and the Sierra Club. Among OMP’s clients are Planned Parenthood of America and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
I suggest you download it in case it disappears.
I also suggest we monitor the "news" to see how the talking points are being disseminated by "legitimate" media.
And lastly, I suggest sharing Workman's link far and wide. People need to know about this.

Speaking of Racists...
So it figures US News & World Report would give them a megaphone. Oh well, what other kind of 'journalism" would we expect from Emily Stanton?
The ol' Joshster & Co. still run away every time I ask them why they thought my being white was a relevant debate rebuttal instead of just an attempted racial slur. That's because they know logical consistency would require them to call somebody like Roy Innes, Kenn Blanchard or Colion Noir a "black gun nut,"and there ain't no way out of that painted corner without making a colorful mess.
Funny--this article from a week ago says they had 1,300 signatures, and what with their being Astroturf instead of grassroots 'n all, I thought I'd help give their numbers a boost. I thought after doing that I'd at least get to see what their latest tally is, but for some reason they're keeping that a secret.
I wonder why? And I wonder if they're going to claim guys like vLaddimir here (or some of his friends, perhaps?) in their grand total?

Senate confirms Jones to head ATF following Heitkamp delay on cloture

California Attorney General says feds not exempt from state ‘safe’ handgun law
“You might notice, as did the California’s Attorney General, that federal law enforcement officers are not mentioned in this exception!” Michel pointed out. “The ‘Department of Justice’ referred to in this section is the California Department of Justice, not a federal agency. So the AG’s analysis is correct: federal law enforcement is not exempt from the ‘unsafe handgun’ restriction."

Amicus briefs filed supporting AG in Mississippi gun bill injunction case
Friend of the court briefs were filed yesterday in the Mississippi Supreme Court for the case of State of Mississippi v. Robert Shuler Smith supporting the position of state Attorney General Jim Hood. Last week, the attorney general filed an appeal petition and a motion to vacate an injunction by Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Winston Kidd preventing a law clarifying concealed weapons from taking effect. Smith is the Hinds County District Attorney, who along with a handful of legislators and constables, receiving legal prodding and support from the Southern Poverty Law Center, filed the action to block the new law.

Robert Zimmerman to tell family side of story on relocated AAR tonight
Armed American Radio will broadcast tonight's interview with Robert Zimmerman, brother of George Zimmerman, from an undisclosed location, host Mark Walters told Gun Rights Examiner this morning.

"The NSA does NOT spy on Americans!"
From a comment left by "dbervin" under this post:
I do have some questions for Mr. Ervin that are independent of the Snowden debate:
How can you know what you claim unless you are employed by NSA in a top slot? If so, how long have you worked there, what is your position, and what is your security clearance level to convince us you have visibility on what decisions are made at the top and coordinated with the administration and other departments/agencies? If you're not situated near the top, with top secret clearances and a need to know about such things, how can you know you're in the loop and thus presume to give any assurances?
Assuming such decisions are classified, wouldn't your telling everyone what is and is not looked at, if true, actually be of interest to true enemies and thus harmful to the "mission" and to national security?
Here's the thing though -- I see from a past comment over at The Captain's Journal, Ervin claims "I work indirectly for a US organization." Whether that means he has the visibility and clearances to be making definitive proclamations is unknown, but leading with that statement means he is claiming special inside baseball knowledge beyond the ken of us mundanes.
I've seen he's also been posting NSA apologia all over the place--at WRSA and Cold Fury and other places... so he's obviously a man with a mission, self-appointed or otherwise.

And the Truth Shall Set You Free
Which explains why the Buckeye Firearms Association site is now down as they are weathering a particularly vicious attack:
[Via Mike H]BFA is under attack from an unknown outside entity. The website is down and communications systems are non-functional.
Here's what we know so far ...
If you've tried to visit our website today, you know it's not there any more. At some time this morning, it came under attack from an outside source.
FACTS:
- Our IT guy says it's a "denial of service" or DoS attack. This is not the ordinary "hack" attack that we've experienced many times in the past. A DoS attack involves using significant resources to bombard a server to temporarily or permanently disrupt service.
- This attack took out our websites, both Buckeye Firearms Association and Buckeye Firearms Foundation.
- Our email communication services also went down. Leaders are located all over the state of Ohio, so we've had to set up a temporary alternate email list to stay in touch as we work through this issue.
- This attack was so overwhelming, it took down the entire company that hosts our website. Thousands of IP addresses have been caught up in the digital bloodshed.
We don't yet know where this attack came from, but we find it hard to believe that it is a coincidence that it's happening at the very moment a story went national about raising funds to enable George Zimmerman to purchase a new firearm after Eric Holder and the DOJ decided to prevent him from getting his personal property back.
- Shortly after all the company servers went down, their power went down. And our IT guy says his cell phone service vanished.
We've received threats, hate male, and angry late night phone calls. We're sending you this message to let you know what's going on just in case they take out more of our resources and we are unable to communicate with you.
REST ASSURED: We are working on getting our website back up. And the work goes on to push pro-gun legislation, meet with law makers, and defend the Second Amendment. We may communicate online, but our strength has always been in our vast grassroots and our personal relationships with your representatives in government.
The check to Zimmerman is being sent to him as you read this. We collected $25,000 from our recent gun raffle. Our events and teacher training classes are moving forward. We CANNOT be stopped by technological temper tantrums like this.
We're posting updates on our Facebook page as we know more. You can visit it here:

Oath Keepers campaign supports Snowden, whistleblowers
“If we wake up enough Americans, especially in the military, it is possible to have an American counterpart to what happened in East Germany in 1989 when the East German military refused to crack down on the peaceful protesters, and without the support of the Army, the Communist Party and the Stasi secret police were done,” Rhodes recalled.

Zimmerman brother to present family perspective on AAR
“Unlike the mainstream media who continue to drag George Zimmerman and his family through hell and put their lives in danger, Armed American Radio will offer a forum for the Zimmermans to tell the real story in a non-confrontational atmosphere,” Walters explained.

I'm just going to rip off Andrea Shea King's entire introduction to this that she posted on Facebook:
Discussing the Anthony Weiner sickness and his and Huma's determination to continue his campaign for the NYC mayorship, I suspect -- nay, I BELIEVE that they have been made a promise from the same powerful handlers who are in control of Obama, most of our Senate, and at least two thirds -- likely more -- of our so-called Representatives in the House.The handlers -- whoever they are and I'll leave you to speculate on that -- have selected Weiner to put in place to continue the Marxist policies of the current mayor, Bloomberg. Weiner is a broken, sexually addicted human, as lusting for power as he is for self-pornography and exhibitionist impulses. He can be controlled. The masters know his weaknesses, his "tells". Like a pimp feeding his hookers dope to "keep them sweet", the masters feed their minions with whatever it will take to "keep them sweet", (doing their bidding).It's the same strategy being used with the doper homosexual Obama and his beard Moochelle, who has her own visions of self grandeur and a bitter and deep sense of entitlement. They are and will continue to be well "compensated" for trading in whatever soul they have with the "perks" that come with pushing forward the "greater cause". Fellow travelers, they are where they've been placed by their masters through Machiavellian and clever use of every tool available (think Google algorithms, social media, psychology of the masses, media manipulation, ballot/voter fraud, intimidation, blackmail, extortion, and oh so much more) to get the job done. What job? A new world order and all that that entails.Huma, as we know, is Muslim and closely connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma fits into and is part of the plan. Whatever she and her miserably sick, sexually addicted freak of a husband have been promised is worth more to her than the indignities she is publicly suffering. And let's not forget that Islamic / Muslim women taught to put up with whatever their husband's proclivities are. Couple that with Hillary's whispered promise that all will be worth it in the end... and well, it's not hard to get the picture.All of this is part of the master plan -- putting in place (i.e. into power) those who can be controlled by their masters. And make no mistake -- Wiener, as well as Obama, and Clinton before them -- have their masters.Hillary and Bill are high up in the pecking order. They are the capo de capo, trusted lieutenants of the masters. They've proven time and again they can be counted on to further the agenda. They've been tested. Affairs, lesbianism, alcoholism, his sexual addiction and superego, Benghazi... I could go on for days just recounting the f-ups of his administration. Both of them are dangerously broken people with bonafides.The Bush family are part of it too. It all makes sense now why "W" wouldn't and hasn't said a peep -- when he was being lambasted for going to war, when he "Abandoned Free Market Principles To Save The Free Market System’", and when Obama pushed through stimulus, Obamacare, the NSA surveillance...IT WAS PART OF THE PLAN. And he knew it. was beholden to it. Kept his mouth shut. He delivered us into the mess in the Middle East, spending our resources and treasure to enmire us in a hopeless situation, laying the groundwork for his successor to further enmire us in the fetid quicksand of the Arab world. I leave it to you to figure out why -- but here's a hint: petrodollars.In Justin Raimondo's piece (linked below), he writes about the surveillance state that is surely the most magnificent move of the masters, the one that will keep us penned in as surely as the Jews were in the Warsaw ghettos."Of all the key aspects of an authoritarian regime, secrecy is the most vital in effecting the transition from relative freedom to a full-fledged police state. As the foundations of the liberal democratic order are eaten away by political termites operating in the dark, the democratic polity retains its traditional republican form – but is hollow at its center. That’s why the prescient Garet Garrett called the rising statist trend in the United States a "revolution within the form" – superficially, our old republic appears intact, but the old meanings of such concepts as "democracy" and "the rule of law" have been turned on their heads. Beneath the surface, the tyrant lurks, waiting for his moment…."The only thing left -- the one so many -- like David Codrea and Kurt Hoffman and Mike Vanderbeogh -- are fighting mightily to prevent -- is the confiscation of our only means of protection against these masters. Guns. Once that is accomplished, game over.Gang, we are being taken over by the masters. Wiener, Obama, and Company, are simply the soulless puppets emplaced by whatever means necessary to ensure that the takeover reaches its final objective.Justin Raimondo's piece "Is America a Free Country?" is a MUST read.

As for his bill that he promises will "reduce gun violence," I'd like to see some sort of reality-based way of validating by how much...you know, something more substantial than telling us about CSI being "one of the hottest shows on television."

A Bit o' the Blarney
Irish transplant and Columbia University adjunct journalism professor (and Clinton confidante) Niall O'Dowd says Islam "gets a bad rap in the west." [More]
I wonder why.
Oh, and Liam Neeson ... nahhh, who cares?
Of course O'Dowd also says "When everyone in the media tells you the George Zimmerman acquittal had nothing to do with race don’t believe a word of it."
First of all, what media would that be?
But he's right you know, just not for the reasons he'd have us believe. Of course Obama and Holder and Sharpton and Jackson and the eager corps of Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists have made the case (as opposed to the acquittal) all about race.
Like the very term "progressive," every day is "Opposite Day" for such wormtongues.
I wonder if the Republicans will be stupid enough to believe he has their best interests in mind when he urges Peter King to run for president, and calls Marco Rubio a "GOP braveheart."

The Idiot's Foreign Policy?
Considering the havoc that a mere 2,000 Fast and Furious guns caused in Mexico, what exactly will come of shipping anti-tank weapons to the same sort of Islamist militias who launched a full blown assault on the American mission in Benghazi? [More]The title assumes those setting and implementing "foreign policy" are guided by the Preamble...because if you look at things from a different perspective, idiocy does not appear to be the best explanation.
