Seems the parts weren't gun parts. They're printer parts. And the "suspected gang member" is a modeller who prints cake decorations.
It having been represented that many Negroes and Mulattoes the property of Citizens of these States have concealed themselves on board the Ships in the harbor; that some still continue to attach themselves to British Officers and that others have attempted to impose themselves upon the officers of the French and American Armies as Freemen and to make their escapes in that manner, In order to prevent their succeeding in such practices All Officers of the Allied Army and other persons of every denomination concerned are directed not to suffer any such negroes or mulattoes to be retained in their Service but on the contrary to cause them to be delivered to the Guards which will be establish'd for their reception at one of the Redoubts in York and another in Gloucester. Mr. David Ross will have the superintendency and will give passes to enable them to return to their Masters or where that is not practicable will have directions to make other provision for them. Any Negroes or mulattoes who are free upon proving the same will be left to their own disposal. [More]I'm making this the subject of today's Gun Rights Examiner column, forthcoming.
The only solution to tragedies such as these is to require "smart gun" technology so that it is not possible for an adolescent, child, or toddler to have unauthorized access to a loaded firearm — that is, anyone but the properly licensed and sufficiently trained gun owner. [More]Oh, shut up, you idiot. You don't know what you're talking about. Seriously, you're a moron.
If leadership toward these goals does not come from Washington, only the most arrogant American could think it would never come from somewhere else. [More]So where would it come from, Óscar? Flesh that out for us, won't you, including your vision for enforcement?
"The subject turned toward the deputies, and as he was doing that the barrel of the weapon was rising toward the deputies," Henry said. The deputy then fired rounds, killing the boy. [More]Here's an experiment you can try yourself. Go out in public and yell at some random person from behind to drop what they're carrying.
I would be lacking in recognition if I did not have the pleasure of indicating to you all the recognition I feel for the services I have received from the Spanish in this undertaking. Monsieur the Governor of Santo Domingo had the honesty to lend me, until the end of this month, the troops of M. de St.Simon who were under his orders, M. de Solano and the residents of Havana remitted in 24 hours to M. de Grasse 1,200,000 [livres] that were of the greatest necessity to me, my [treasure] having arrived in Boston, whence overland transport has not yet enabled it to join me. [More]
In short, it's about the pursuit of happiness, supposedly an unalienable right. And true to form, the collectivist blue-noses can't leave anything alone, especially if it looks like someone may be enjoying himself without their permission, rules and oversight. [More]
3 students hurt when cop's gun discharges at school safety demo [More]Say, that's quite some safety presentation. And naturally, it was the gun that discharged.

The Town of Farragut has been considering an ordinance to rescind their ban on permit holders carrying a handgun in Farragut parks. They will vote on the ordinance this Thursday, October 24. [More]Liston Matthews would like to see a strong attendance, and is asking us to spread the word to Tennesseans who live in the area...
"In short, because laws banning dangerous guns and ammunition seek to protect the public rather than to confiscate private property for public use, they are perfectly consistent with the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment." [More]But...but...but... I thought the "progressives" promised nobody wanted to take our guns...
The measure would require a 3-year prison sentence for illegally packing a loaded gun. [More]Because "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" obviously means prior restraints and licenses are the order of the day.
Evan Hughes of Vermont Federation of Sportmen's Clubs was on NRA News/Cam & Company the other day--I don't see the video posted yet, but if it is, it will be available on their website.The photo shows a fraction of the pro-gun folks present. After there were so many pro-gunfolks in attendance, the city council had to open the second story balcony.
Sir: I must beg you to remind Congress, that when they did me the honor of electing me President, and before I assumed the Chair, I informed them, that as Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, I should be under the necessity of attending the Supreme Court of that State, the latter end of September, or at farthest in October. That court will be held to-day; I must therefore request, that they will be pleased to proceed to the choice of another President. [More]
“This is not sedition,” he explained. “It is not insurrection. It is a philosophy that the Founders embodied and would endorse today. The men who died at the point of Mexican bayonets behind those walls would endorse it as well." [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner commentary advises “Remember the Alamo!” and notes this time, we’re not the ones who are outnumbered and surrounded.
State corrections officers, prosecuting attorneys and certain federal law enforcement officers could be added to the list of people who are allowed to carry concealed guns in the state’s weapons-free zones. [More]Thanks, Rep. Joel Johnson, R-Clare! And sorry, but I don't want to click on your "Johnson Photos" link.
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."[Via Jeffersonian]
Alan Gottlieb discusses his recent Piers Morgan interview, Guns Save Lives Day controversy, and the Gun Rights Policy Conference. Mike Vanderboegh discusses his speech to the armed marchers at the Alamo and David Codrea and George Hill talk current events and fun gun stuff.
People who are so stupidly regardless of their own interests are undeserving of compassion, but one cannot help lamenting that the fate of so many worthy persons should be connected with the failure or success of the British army. [More]
As such, it’s not an easy book to face up to, and is, in this era of suppressing and attacking anyone who dares challenge “progressive” correctness, a brave one. The author was fully aware of the charged criticism some would level on him for reacting to existing movements and extrapolating existing trends into a potential near-future scenario. [More]
Reasons was given his pistol after trial and instructed to be more careful with his firearms when out of his native state In the future. [More]And the corrupt "Only Ones" were canned?
Two sets of standards? And all of a sudden a gate appears in that "wall of separation" between church and state? [More]Here's what really needs to be determined--were frames or receivers transferred?
The dean of the Cathedral, the Rev. Gary Hall, spoke at Mrs. Feinstein’s media event. Wearing a clerical collar and standing in front of the illegal guns, he said that, “I can no longer justify a society that allows people other than military and police to own weapons like these.”Well gee, Gar, you "progressive" hipster, you, seeing as how much the "justification" of a police state fascist hiding behind a collar means to me... say, you're not going to accompany the confiscation teams, by any chance, are you?
Afghan special forces commander defects with guns to insurgents [More]It's been done.
Possession of large amounts of weapons, ammunition, explosives, accelerants, or explosive precursor chemicals could indicate pre-operational terrorist attack planning or criminal activity. [More]Pretty much the same way possession of hands could indicate pre-operational strangling attack planning, I suppose...
Anyone who has ever been part of an organizational effort knows there's always such a core, who bear most of the burden and who make most of the personal sacrifices, enduring no shortage of slings and arrows, and getting up to do it again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. And they don't do it for awards. [More]This morning’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes it’s appropriate to say “Thank you” on occasion to those who merit it. It’s even more appropriate to lend a hand and help those bearing heavy burdens on our behalf.
We were supposed to build barracks there. But because we did not want to agree to that right away, but rather made ourselves straw huts, we were treated very severely. A sharp command from the corporal forced us to build the barracks and it was our good fortune because all our straw huts were consumed by fire on October 21, 1781. [More]
That Russell actively supports an administration hostile to private gun ownership may seem self-defeating, particularly since Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama answered “Yes” on a questionnaire asking “Do you support state legislation to … ban the manufacture and possession of handguns?” [More]
Omidyar, by contrast, has opened his checkbook mostly to the Democratic Party. [More]Because "legitimate media" just isn't "progressive" enough...
(g) This section shall not apply to any of the following:
(1) A weapon used solely for educational or school-sanctioned ceremonial purposes, or used in a school-approved program conducted under the supervision of an adult whose supervision has been approved by the school authority.
Cleveland police suspend 63 officers who fired 137 shots killing unarmed man and woman in high-speed chase after pair panicked and sped off while being pulled over [More]Maybe that's what happened to that woman in DC...
A federal air marshal is accused of using his cell phone to take pictures underneath women's dresses as they boarded a flight at Nashville International Airport. [More]Hey, what's security theater without a little gratuitous sex?
If We Must DieOf course, all things considered, it may not be as romantic and poetic, but there is a preferred alternative...
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
My Lord: To avoid unnecessary Discussions and Delays, I shall at Once, in Answer to your Lordships Letter of Yesterday,declare the general Basis upon which a Definitive Treaty and Capitulation must take place. [More]
In a related development, Gun Rights Examiner has learned that the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association recently posted their petition that started this process. Previously, they had only posted an overview of their request. [More]This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner column notes that collected comments, as opposed to collector comments, can be two very different things.
...If I ran a large corporation, I would make personal protection training a part of coming into work...Compare that to what these gasbags insist on.
Police smell meth, raid home, kill 80-year-old man, find no meth [More]This guy Steve Whitmore is a real piece of...work.
...it adds to the toll of lives taken with weapons trafficked by suspects U.S. officials watched but did not stop. [More]Ah yes, more fallout from Project Bombwalker...
Pointing out parallels and equivalence between “authorized leakers” and “Authorized Journalists” hardly seems unfounded. Extrapolating the same principle, it’s easy to envision Dianne Feinstein demanding special protections for “real leakers,” and Joe Biden envisioning how “legitimate news leakers" can help the administration advance its goals. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the new protocol for getting government‘s OK to ta…uh…make a leak.
The U.S. Supreme Court appeared closely divided on Wednesday on whether criminal defendants can challenge a court's decision to freeze their assets before trial. [More]What kind of idiot thinks we're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty?
“At Nouria Energy, our employees are our most cherished assets,” they unctuously proclaim on their website home page. “Their safety and the safety of our customers is priority number one.”This afternoon’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes gutless corporate management sure makes those gas station stores convenient – for predators.
Somehow, the immortal line spoken by John Vernon in “The Outlaw Josey Wales” comes to mind. [More]
Why the court rejected the Woollard case, and what they will ultimately decide in Abramski remain unknown. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a court that understands full well where power grows from.

More disturbing than the predictable push to eliminate privacy rights is the public’s utter acquiescence in the face of the growing police state. [More]Liberty nor safety, that is.
If a power is not listed, then the federal government does NOT have that power. [More]At least not lawfully and morally. But practically, they have whatever power over us we allow them to assume.
Police Director Michael Mordaga has called for a national fingerprinting system to screen gun buyers...[More]Here's mine, you stupid fascist. Guess which one it is?
Justice Department officials said the photo was included as a joke and that they were unaware it was viewed as offensive by agents. [More]What's the matter, can't you take a joke?
On October 16, Cornwalis made a desperate attempt to break out by sending some of his troops across the bay in small boats. A gale-force wind, however, scuttled that plan. [More]
