“This type of disclosure potentially harms or endangers members of the public, and the state police are expected to follow these laws that they enforce on the rest of us." [More]This morning’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the "Only Ones" exempting themselves again...
In an unusual twist, Laieski is also considered a victim in the case, since at least some of the charges stem from a three-way sexual encounter the boys had with 43-year-old Chris Wilson, an openly homosexual Phoenix police officer who was arrested more than a year ago and is now in jail awaiting trial for his role in the abuse of both children. [More]I'll just bet there were some unusual twists.

Kennedy was way wrong about that, thanks to the consequences of brother Ted's legislation and executive branch subversion of our most fundamental national defenses -- borders and immigration controls.[More]Here's a very an essential essay appended as a comment to yesterday's JFK piece.
This represents an opportunity for those interested in educating themselves and others about the purpose behind the Second Amendment to have another comprehensive tool for doing so. The documentary can now be shown virtually anywhere, and it’s not difficult to see how screenings could be hosted at gun clubs, in private homes, in community meeting rooms and the like. Those interested in seeing the information made more widely available can also urge local gun stores, ranges, and importantly, public libraries to carry copies. And with Christmas and Hanukkah quickly approaching, gun owners may wish to purchase additional copies of the film as gifts. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the most useful tools are those that are available when and where we need them.
That's a clear a rejection of the "monopoly of violence" society demanded by those who would remold ours. And “extremely unlikely” does not equate with “never.” He left that door open as a measure of last resort, when all other peaceable options had failed, essentially adopting a position where he, too, could be accused of treason and executed for it. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner memorial challenges the antis to be consistent and issue a public condemnation.
Defense Team Defends Judge Brack’s Order [More]Luna Tea Party Patriots continues doing an outstanding job, not only in reporting when nobody (well, almost nobody) else will, but also in providing detailed, insightful and intelligent analysis.
Remember, the will of the people is limited by the rights of the minority, common sense and the law. Those elements are controlled by the ballot box and the jury box, when those fail in their solemn duty to protect the rights of the minority there is only one more "box" available to the people -- the bullet box, and none of us wants that outcome. [More]Mike McNulty got a letter published. He advises the paper wrote the headline.
I think it a duty incumbent upon me to observe, that those most desirable objects are not to be fully attained but by a continuance of those exertions which have already so greatly humbled the power of our inveterate enemies. Relaxation upon our parts will give them time to collect and recover themselves, Whereas a vigorous prosecution of the War, Must inevitably crush their remaining force in these States or put them to the shameful necessity of intirely withdrawing themselves. [More]
That former NYC mayors and police commissioners don’t even register on any official homicide by occupation statistics reports is hardly the point. As long as Mike and Ray have theirs, who cares what happens to anyone else? [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes some people just consider themselves our betters, and they’re not above ordering force to make sure we understand our place.
Today, Prince said he wants to set the record straight about him and Blackwater, the controversial private army he built into a global juggernaut. [More]*Per Jake Syma:
I don't like him, but there's a fella who has some intimate knowledge of the AECA and ITAR... and can tell you why the Executive, DOJ, and State Dept lines on Fast & Furious don't begin to explain away the [I'll say 'potential'] violations... because they were used against he and his companyCould be.
Orders:—Officer of the Day, to-morrow, Capt. Cummins: Guard to consist of one Lieut., one Serg’t, twelve privates; every person in samp to immediately enroll with Capts. Carruth, Cummins, or with Lieut. Baldwin; those who have been officers during the campaign to be called on duty as such: troops to hold themselves in readiness to march precisely at six o’clock in the morning. And it is required that the most profound silence and greatest order is observed on the march throughout the whole of this route. [More]
If passed and signed into law, his bill would effectively negate the ability of concealed carry permit holders, or gun owners in states that recognize “Constitutional carry,” to lawfully carry their firearm when dropping off or picking passengers up, rendering them defenseless for the duration of the trip to and from an airport. And importantly, it “would take precedence over any city or state laws that allow weapons in any airports nationwide.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes “progressives” are busy finding new ways to make the airport experience even more painful for everyone who obeys the rules, while making things easier for those who would prey on them.
Farmer was Sierra’s third shooting in six months, yet the officer remained on the job. The video showed Farmer lying on the ground bleeding as Sierra shot three bullets into his back. An autopsy later determined those three shots in his back were the fatal wounds. [More]Plus he'd been drinking and the cops delayed the breath test and ... forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Reagan guns aside, there's apparently one other key impediment to the tranquility that everyone who's ever lived in a monopoly of violence-enforced gun free zone has accepted as the natural order of things: The government just doesn’t have enough power. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an admission that more guns = less crime followed with a wish for fewer guns. Probably because fewer guns = more tyranny. “Progressives” – they’re so predictable.
The Council ultimately approved two of the resolutions — a safe firearm storage requirement and a ban on guns in establishments with liquor licenses — with amendments. Council members sent a third resolution, which would allow police seizure of guns in cases of suspected domestic abuse, back to the committee level for more fine-tuning. [More]If you haven't been following this story, you can find out more here.
The Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs opposes Burlington's politicized attack on the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights. This law went into effect in 1988 and has served this state well in providing a set of uniform laws regulating firearms and avoiding a confusing patchwork of conflicting ordinances.
Vermont's laws serve our state well, which is why this state is constantly one of the very safest states in this nation, as proven by our firearm related accident and crime rates. The Burlington City Council seeks to enact a politicized solution in search of a problem.
The state legislature passed this law correctly believing Vermonters are vastly law abiding, safe and peaceful, and willing to comply with the state's laws. The Burlington City Council's proposed ordinances would only defeat the state-wide legal uniformity provided by the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights, a law promoting effective citizen voluntary compliance.
Bugarcic quickly turned away when we went to see him. "I'm not talking," he said. [More]James Duane's advice goes double for "real reporters."
The probe began in the office of Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf, though no one will publicly claim credit for appointing Mr. Schmitz, the special prosecutor. The investigation is taking place under Wisconsin's John Doe law, which bars a subpoena's targets from disclosing its contents to anyone but his attorneys. John Doe probes work much like a grand jury, allowing prosecutors to issue subpoenas and conduct searches, while the gag orders leave the targets facing the resources of the state with no way to publicly defend themselves. [More]And here I thought "progressives" were all about transparency in government...
Maj. William “Bloody Bill” Cunningham and a large force of Loyalist militia attacked a group of Patriot militia that were resting in the home of their commander, Col. Joseph Hayes.

Pennsylvania Mayor Kicked Out of Office For Signing Up City to Support Bloomberg Gun Ban Initiative... [More]They have to wait until January? Why can't they just throw his stuff out on the sidewalk now?
You are then to join Col. Leonard and take such a route as will tend more effectually to disperse and finally subdue such tories and disaffected people as continue embodied in the settlements bordering on this State and adjoining to South Carolina; [More]
Were Freedman to make good on his assertions and demonstrate the equivalency he would have readers believe exists, he would next demonstrate how he can “buy” a gun online and have it shipped to him through the mail. But he knows he can’t because that would be against the law. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner deconstruction of lies notes the Clintonian nature of anti-gun activists passing themselves off as reporters: It depends on what the meaning of the word “easy” is.
What’s telling here is not that the OBLC gungrabbers were punked, but that they either didn’t recognize the names, or did, and left them in anyway.. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the gungrabbers aren’t too picky about who signs their petitions just as long as they get some names.
“We’re not in it to stockpile. We’re in it to take what you have and there’s nothing you can do to stop us,” Tyler Smith says. “We are your worst nightmare, and we are coming.” [More]We'll be here, Tyler.

[More]What do we expect from an insulated and well-protected elitist who thinks Obama doesn't have enough power?
Blogger threatened with 10-year prison sentence for posting public official’s phone number...[More]So if I cut and paste the information or produce a screenshot from this public document, paid for with tax money and even downloadable, I could be threatened with 10 years in the slammer?
While our enemies are disappointed, mortified and stunned; while our combined forces are flushed with victory; while all Europe is on our side, and look upon us as engaged in the common cause of mankind; now is the time to improve our success, and press the enemy with redoubled ardor, till Britain shall be obliged to yield us the happy fruits of our toils and sufferings, of our blood and treasure, in the blessings of an established independence and peace. [More]
Now it has come out under sworn testimony that government employees being entrusted by citizens with some of their most personal information are not even trusted by the government to exercise one of the most fundamental natural and civil rights, the right to keep and bear arms. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner column asks if the government that employs them doesn’t trust them, why should we?
A toll-free "tip line" has been launched that enables any person with a phone the ability to initiate an investigation on any gun owner. [More]No kidding?
This should be a no-brainer. Jana voted with her feet and chose to live and work in the most First Amendment-friendly state in the union. She should be protected by New York law. If she is not, then all reporters will lose their confidential sources, and all Americans will be in the dark when whistleblowers know awful truths but are unwilling to pay the price of public revelation. [More]I know Mike and I were committed to being jailed before revealing our sources. We still are.
Since it's troubled launch on October 1 when it could not perform the basic functions it was envisioned to do, Park said HealthCare.gov has increased capacity and is now able to handle up to 25,000 users on the site per hour. Additionally, 17,000 are able to register on the website each hour.
Although improved, it is still far short of the administration's goal of increasing capacity to at least 50,000 people per hour. [More]
At Alfred Moore's Plantation (known as Buchoi), a mile below the ferry at Wilmington, Maj. Graham and his troops surprised a group of about 100 Loyalists. He raced his cavalry onto the plantation grounds and scattered the Loyalists without any serious loss. The Loyalists had twelve men killed and thirty men wounded. [More]
Clearly, the place is a Bloombergian Paradise, giving the self-styled “common sense gun safety” zealots everything they publicly are willing to admit they’re after without revealing too many of the other cards in their hand. And here is yet another example of the failure of such edicts to do anything but make conditions more dangerous for those who have accepted being disarmed as their lot in life. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a foul and destructive wind that has nothing to do with any natural storm.
In this week's crime re-enactment, an intoxicated man stumbles to the wrong house. Thinking he is home, he forces himself inside through a neighbor's locked door. Is deadly force justified?Hosted by James B. Towle with Special Guests: Wes Dos, Kathy Jackson, Rob Pincus
Yep--Skelton admits that the incident he is using to bolster his argument condemning Brown's veto would not have turned out any differently if Brown had signed the bill instead, but that doesn't matter. Why not, you ask? [More]Skelton has been a monopoly of violence shill since like forever-- he epitomizes what I call Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.
