Blast from the Past
Researching substantiating links for this morning's column turned up this old Chicago Tribune piece from 1994. Just look at this deceptive bull**** that David Roberti pulled in his desperate bid to cling to the power so he could advance even more citizen disarmament, and that staff writer Hugh Dellios and his editorial handlers passed off as ethical journalism:
This is from around the same era when a cop in a suit threatened to arrest me because I wasn't an "Authorized Journalist."
Instead, the former Senate president finds himself in the throes of a high-pitched election campaign this spring, waving an illegal Uzi machine gun and standing by while aides display how easily an AK47 automatic rifle can rip apart watermelons.Lie-spreading sacks.

No, you might lose yours, but some gun owners are pretty serious about hearts actually stopping beating before that will happen to them.
We get that you need money for outreach, education, growth, programs, politics and court. But enough with the breathless hyperbole that treats your members like idiot ATM machines. Have you considered approaching them like they're adults who value principles and sincerity, from whom you might be able to learn a thing or two?

Colorado recall shows power of grassroots in gun debate
"Victory springs from imparting excruciating political pain in unrelenting repetitive attacks on a single politician as an example to others," The Chicago Tribune quoted from a fundraising appeal by recall leader Russ Howard at the time.

“But yes, that’s the beginning of the semester,” it said. “I’m always optimistic.

I find it hard to believe this is not just hyperbole and dark humor, and could have easily been resolved as such just by talking to the guy.
I mean c'mon, do these people have any idea, first, how expensive it would be to acquire a Gatling gun and then what it would take to haul it to the top of a bell tower?
Yeah, OK, in today's era of everybody in academia being an hysterical wuss with the vapors, I see where posting this on Facebook was poor judgement, but my biggest beef with the guy is that a communications professor should have capitalized the "g" in Gatling.
What we have here seems more than a failure to communicate. What we have here is a chilling warning on what we can and cannot say on social media. It seems to me the bigger danger is having the state automatically respond by sending in men with guns, prepared to kill us if we cross an arbitrary threshold between joke and threat.

In 1859, Oberlin's African American lawyer and activist, John Mercer Langston recruited two of the town's prominent young men of color, John A. Copeland and Lewis Sheridan Leary into John Brown's band of twenty-one raiders. They attacked the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Leary was killed during the unsuccessful attempt to bring about emancipation through a slave insurrection. Before his hanging in Charleston, Virginia on December 19, 1859, Copeland wrote to his family in Oberlin: "how dear brother could I die for a more noble cause?" Oberlinites memorialized these two martyrs and co-conspirator, Shields Green, with the only monument erected for any of the five African Americans who fought with John Brown. The monument stands in Oberlin's Martin Luther King Park.I wonder if ol' Sharon would have approved of these ...uh... insurrectionists fighting the violence monopoly for freedom -- with guns.

Here's the thing about nullification. My friend Russ Howard responded to an article I wrote last month by sending me this observation:
As ______________ recently pointed out to me, our side should stop using "nullified", nullify, nullification, etc, which is clearly a loser with the public, and start using phrases like "fair trial", "righting wrongs", acquitting, clearing, honoring the oath, obeying the highest law of the land, law enforcement, etc. E.g., "Jury Nullification" is a loser. "Fair Trial", use of discretion to right injustice, etc, are winners.Of course some would tell us that's not our place to decide -- and that if the composition of the Supreme Court can change enough to shift just one vote, well, turn 'em all in, Mr. and Mrs. America...
The Sheriff did not "nullify the law". The arrest / prosecution / statutory law would've nullified the Constitution. He obeyed and honored the highest law of the land, and prevented a lesser law or act from nullifying it. He did his job and obeyed The Law. Anything contrary isn't law and doesn't need to be "nullified". He was even preventing illegal activity, ending an illegal arrest, which is his job. Law enforcement.

Documents point to ATF raid on 'Lanza gun shop' being a staged media event
It’s fair to ask how The Courant was able to produce such a detailed report practically simultaneously to the events without advance information of the ongoing raid. It would appear to be especially relevant as the situation was deemed by professional federal law enforcement to be dangerous enough to send dozens of armed agents and police officers ostensibly into harm’s way, not to mention posing real risks to store employees and any customers who may have been on premises.

My Mother Lives in Hackensack
We're probably responsible for the actions of another (former) Bergen County Prosecutor, too. Assuming we're getting the full story.
But don't worry about Molinelli. He's immune.
And just the kind of guy I'd like to give up my guns to.
Demonstrating What, Exactly?
“Californians will wear empty holsters because that state’s laws are so strict.” [More]What, let's publicly parade our humiliating abject surrender and call it a "gun rights" demonstration?
I'd be embarrassed and ashamed to participate.
I think some states need to sit out on this one and focus on what they can do.

I just don't get why so many old stories seem to be getting recycled right now--it's like the people who are just now "discovering" the Kates/Mauser Harvard study.
Hey...how about that USA Today poll...!
