Armed American Radio Redux
From Mark Walters:
I think last night was an exceptionally good show, even more so than usual:
Live from Minneapolis studios of 1280 AM The Patriot. Guests include Washington Times Senior Opinion Editor and author of Emily Gets Her Gun, Emily Miller. CO. gun rights activist, Nick Andrasik, armed robbery victim, Lee Michaels, Emmy Award winners Peter Gould and Gary Theroux, David Codrea, Seanto, the Ogre and MORE!Well, the Ogre didn't make it this time, but Firearms Industry Consulting Group lawyers Joshua Prince and Tom Odom did, to talk about the administration's new gun trust rule. During the third hour "roundtable," I got a chance to talk about spending yesterday afternoon at a gun rights rally at a park in Oberlin, OH, where the town council is trying to implement a gun ban in defiance of state preemption law. We ran out of time before I could tell about the TV "Authorized Journalist" asking gun owners to draw their weapons so she could get a camera shot of them. Fortunately, everyone besides her was too smart and informed to bite.

Lawyers to talk gun trust rule change on Armed American Radio
Attorneys Joshua Prince and Tom Odom will be guests tonight on the nationally-syndicated Armed American Radio program to discuss a proposed rule change for National Firearms Act gun trusts, host Mark Walters announced today. Also appearing in tonight’s lineup will be “Emily Gets Her Gun: But Obama Wants to Take Yours” author and The Washington Times opinion page senior editor Emily Miller, Colorado recall leader Nick Andrasik, “Infringed” documentary co-producers Peter Jay Gould and Gary Theroux, AM1280 “The Patriot” Operations Manager Lee Michaels, blogger and trainer George “Mad Ogre” Hill, this correspondent, and AAR producer Sean “Seanto” Young. [More]

A Complaint About Mike
Those who frequent this site have probably observed that I don't blog much on weekends--I'll try to do GRE columns at least one day, and other than that I kind of limit things to promoting my articles and announcements of radio appearances.
I want to take a moment to address something I think needs to be said, resulting from this post over at SSI. Mike highlighted a comment, complaining about Sipsey Street content and some other things made on another post Mike did on my latest GRE.
You can read the complaint at either of those links. I also posted a comment, which I'm going to copy and paste here, because I think it's appropriate:

You can read the complaint at either of those links. I also posted a comment, which I'm going to copy and paste here, because I think it's appropriate:
I could never have written this post that Mike linked to without his outstanding original work both in front of and behind the scenes. With all that he's got going on, the folks who see the iceberg tip at SSI have no idea of the demands on his time, and couple that with health issues that would have sent most of us to bed and sap all initiative, it's a minor miracle he is able to produce what he does.Just fyi,I'm going to be away for the afternoon, so my suggestion is, if you have comments, leave them over at Sipsey Street, because I won't be here to moderate things for several hours.
There is value in being an aggregator to point people to what they need to keep their eyes on, and then offer a comment about a principle that often isn't stated or obvious. And when Mike does write an original piece, which takes more than most realize, because it's not just sitting down for 15 minutes and free-styling opinions, it's a unique gem.
If he failed to thank for a voluntary subscription--and if you gave one or more, thank you, because most will let him starve and expect their daily read--I'm sure that's a matter of too many balls in the air at once combined with life factors and attendant disorganization that comes with that. Now that it's been brought to his attention, I'm sure he'll be able to organize things a bit better on that score, but then, think about this: The guy has to field hundreds of correspondences every day on top of everything else, and when we send a contribution to GOA or some other group, do we expect a personal "thank you" note, or are we acknowledging they are doing work on our behalf that it is our part to help sustain?
I look at contributions to Mike as our way of saying "thank you" to HIM.

Arrest of Terry murder suspect raises weapon questions and more
Those who complain about the lack of any real punitive outcomes must realize that there is only one way to alter this reality. That is if they become force multipliers, and share information that will otherwise remain confined to limited niche readerships. That means they must also actively demand action from their representatives with “or else” consequences, and recruit others to do the same. Absent a commitment to do that, and if the “profiles in apathy” inertia prevails, expecting anything to change is unrealistic. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a new “Gunwalker” development that reminds us how much the media is not reporting—and what you need to do about it if you expect that to change.

Commiefornia, Here I Come
The legislature also passed its first measures limiting gun ownership and cracking down on so-called “straw purchasers” of firearms. Another bill passed Tuesday would require gun owners to notify authorities of a missing or stolen weapon within a week. The legislature also approved measures to require gun owners to lock firearms when someone who isn’t allowed to possess a weapon is present, and to extend gun safety training requirements to owners of long guns. [More]Wait a minute...if I have to lock up a firearm when a prohibited person is present, does that mean I have to excuse myself to a criminal home invader and go lock up my gun?

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.

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?
IQ? Sperm Count?
You stay classy, Anthony. [More]
Take your balls and go home.
What a narcissist. What a tightly-wrapped headcase.
No wonder he doesn't trust others with guns.

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. "We may not win a particular election, but our methods . . . (make) it exceedingly expensive, difficult and unpleasant for the target to remain in office." [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a newly-discovered power for gun owners that can be a political dynamics game-changer.

Not all who can are distancing from states enacting anti-gun edicts
“We have only one goal in mind,” they elaborate, “to provide every law enforcement officer in the country with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to WIN a lethal encounter!” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that when goals collide, it's time to choose a side. Wouldn't you agree, Mr. LaPierre?
We're the Only Ones in Denial Enough
Sheriff David is committing a crime each time he does this, each time he unlawfully denies someone a gun permit he could be put in prison. [More]What did Capt. Picard always say?
None So Blind
"What could possibly go wrong?" Jeff Smith, an assistant professor of politics and advocacy at The New School in New York, quipped in a Twitter post. [More]Oh, Jeff. You and your snarky quips! The thing is, something does have to go wrong first. If someone is behaving evilly or negligently in a way that endangers others, they should be stopped and there should be consequences.
If they're not, then what the hell business is it of yours? Or anyone's for that matter, including those who presume authority to issue permissions and enforce prior restraints.
You'd think a political advocacy "academic" would understand that, but yes, Jeff, we all understand, you're a doctrinaire "progressive" first and über alles.

Countdown to Confiscation
Flooding legislative offices with phone calls and written letters is particularly effective. [More]Really? In California? Where subversives like Leland Yee win office with pretty close to 80% landslides?
What should his constituents do?
And what's the workaround for other legislators like that, when there's a Democrat supermajority in both chambers?
If you're talking confiscation, what's the plan if those calls and letters end up not being particularly effective? Turn 'em all in, Mr. and Mrs. California?
To Hell and Back, with Susan Rice
Susan Rice addressed the well-heeled and connected globalists yesterday at the New America Foundation on why it's in American interests to risk all of this to initiate aggression against Syria. [More]
If you're not familiar with this group, you should be, and ought to check them out, including who they are (consummate insiders, including the Soros kid), who finances them (in part, you do), and what their agenda is (suffice it to say you owning machine guns is not high up on their priority list).
This was televised on CSPAN and I had it on in the background when I heard Rice say "I've been to my share of war zones."
I immediately wondered what kind of weapon she was carrying, whether she experienced life-threatening incoming, or, as Hillary Clinton described it when she lie...uh...misspoke about coming under sniper fire in Bosnia, "a minor blip" (What difference does it make?).
The nerve of these people.
