Bolivian gun laws to provide hard lesson in ‘if it’s not broke don’t fix it’
The smart money says this is a cynical ruse, and that imposing the new controls will benefit those in a position to create and capitalize on a lucrative new black market -- that is, those in power. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a solution in search of a problem, and concludes it’s more like an opportunity of untapped potential for those positioned to exploit it. Hey, “progressives” just dislike wealth if someone other than them has it.

While I think a better idea is to stay the hell away from public transit and not live anywhere that you can't -- face it, all those places are "progressive" anti-gun zones anyway -- if I ever were on a crowded bus and somebody poked me with that stupid porcupine vest, they'd better hope it didn't hurt me.
Bear sent this to me, along with his discovery of the word "chindōgu," roughly meaning whatever usefulness a stupid gadget may have is rendered useless by how dumb and impractical it is. I wonder if we can apply that to NRA-endorsed "pro-gun Democrats," maybe start calling 'em Manchindōgu...

An exhibitionist sex simulator along with a luster after Cub Scouts, a drag queen, and an actor whose latest film is about a porn addict join up with a group that has a problematic past (and then some) with the intent of being invited into American homes and being accepted as family programming.
Funny, how before and after they air "The 700 Club" they post the message ""The following [preceding] CBN telecast does not reflect the views of ABC Family." Maybe that's because "Sir" Elton came up for air from one of his "Cub Scouts" long enough to proclaim he wanted to "ban all religion completely."
What a "progressive" attitude. And the penalties for defying that are...?
And that, of course, leads to the natural question of just what kind of programming does "reflect the views of" Disney/ABC.
"For the children," naturally. And as we've seen time and again that for "Progressives," every day is Opposite Day, we can take that to mean for them, and to the children. That ... uh ... push is already well underway.

As the Evacuation would have taken place at all events it is fortunate for the Troops that it happened so early, as they would have been exposed to much difficulty in a march thro a very barren Country, intersected by many Rivers that are not fordable—Whether I should reckon it fortunate for myself or not I am not so certain, but I am always satisfied with what produces any advantage to my Country and an other State being freed from the power of the Enemy is a circumstance of no little importance at this Juncture.

‘Assaulted’ available on DVD, video on demand and pay-per-view
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.

Armed insurrectionist recalled on 50th anniversary of JFK assassination
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.
Reese Family Update
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.
You really ought to familiarize yourself with the details of this story and apprise others, because the fact is, any one of us could find ourselves on the wrong end of a prosecution where we are alone and deprived of resources against the leviathan state -- only to find out most gun owners and self-styled "liberty activists" don't give a damn.
Consuming information and making occasional comments does not make one an activist.
Sadly, I know every time I write about something like this I can practically guarantee the readership will plummet. There are reasons for that I believe are self-evident--dry legal details, too much information for a casual read, there's something more entertaining to focus on... That said, the people who ignore stories like this may someday find themselves in need of help, where only a couple faint voices who care are calling attention to their plight, and they come to realize that aside from that they're on their own, because understanding their ordeal has too many dry legal details, there's too much information for a casual read, there are plenty of things more entertaining to focus on.
