EMail Alert!
I get 'em all the time, and have to pass on sharing most of them due to one simple reason:
Every advocacy group email alert sent out should have a link where the info resides--if not on the group's website, then on a free document storage site like Scribd, or even as a post on their Facebook page. The reasons are many, including most bloggers and users of social media won't be able to copy and paste an entire email, but would gladly share a link. And often times I get emails but am so wrapped up in other demands I have to let things slip past me -- whereas if I had a link, I could just give readers a one-sentence intro and then hand them off to the group's website for the complete story.
Don't just rely on people forwarding emails. The important thing is to get the message shared by as many as possible. If the groups don't do this, they are letting an opportunity escape them, and most need all the help spreading the word they can get.
UPDATE: Say Uncle has been down this road before, and has more useful tips on how to help us help you.

These two radio ads began playing on at 6 AM on WDEV, a station that hits a large broadcast area, including the Burlington and Montpelier areas. And if you think this is just a gun control in Burlington problem and does not impact you in your town you are wrong, dead wrong.I don't see where they have posted the radio spots on their website. I'll ask and update this with a link if they do. If not, i need to do a workaround, but just don't have time right now.
Yesterday the E-mail alert below went out from a national gun control organization to Vermont antis.
"But this isn't just Burlington's fight. Whatever happens to these three proposed changes will help set the stage for reforming Vermont’s gun laws."
This is an attack on the Vermont Sportsmen's Bill of Rights, state law effective since 1988, which protects guns, ammo, reloading, shooting, hunting, fishing and trapping from municipal attack. In 2006 range protection from municipalities political driven whim was added. Burlington is attacking all of your rights.
If Burlington gets their exemption to this law, other municipalities will seek the same.

The true goal, of course, as some of us predicted back when this "idea" was still new, has been to give "Authoritah" a shutoff switch.
The thing is, in "progressive" states, this is starting to pose a real-world danger, at least to anyone of principle still living there. In the absence of being able to hold legislators accountable, other chairs need to be picked up and used in this particular bar fight.
As such, gun makers need to adopt the Ronnie Barrett solution, and that expectation needs to be communicated to them from gun customers.
And we can't keep allowing this group to skate, either. Let someone else certify the stormtrooper trainers in states where they deploy them after gun owners to enforce bans.

Dobyns case highlights continued ATF failures, corruption and abuse
“U.S. Court of Claims Judge Francis Allegra [said] his assessment of ATF’s treatment of me was ‘wretched,’ their acts were ‘purposeful,’ derived out of ‘professional jealousy’ and ‘simply spiteful,’” Dobyns told visitors to his website yesterday. “Judge Allegra went on to say that during trial, witnesses testifying for the government had answered questions in his courtroom with ‘less than candor.’ That is a tactful way of saying they committed perjury, or for the rest of us laymen -- they lied.” [More]This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the more things are represented as changed, the more they have stayed the same.

Knox Knox. Who's There?
Comment poster "Free Forester" just left this under my "Mr. Spox" post from 2010:
I'm posting your comment here instead of there because it's very rare that someone goes back and reads blog posts from three years ago. If Kurt hadn't just linked to that old post, it would have remained buried. I'd expect someone who established a blog in 2007 to realize that, but then again, looking at your content, I guess not.
The other reason your comment doesn't qualify for posting there is I do not let my articles get hijacked. I said nothing about the Knox family and neither did any of the other comment posters. They were not the topic of the conversation I was inviting readers to have. If you have an axe to grind with them, tell them, not me, or if you are going to tell me, do it on a post related to them.
As a personal aside, while I value appropriate anonymity and am well aware of "Publius" and other even more needful examples, if I'm going to make public statements critical of others, I don't hide behind a screen name. I guess that colors how I perceive people who do.

Custer's Men Faced Better Odds in 1876 than You Do at this Moment
Mike Vanderboegh writes an open letter to the New York State Police. [More]
It's an important letter. I believe it could literally help save lives as well as help advance the cause of Liberty.
Because of that, I believe everyone who frequents Sipsey Street Irregulars owes a duty -- not just to Mike for providing work they get value from, but to themselves and their loved ones -- to share his letter far and wide. Seriously -- if you're a regular there and if you agree with him and if you still don't do this, I can think of no excuse that reflects kindly.
There's one other very important thing that regulars who get value from Mike's work need to do, and that's kick a few bucks his way so he can keep the lights on. If you're an Irregulars regular, I don't need to repeat how difficult things have been for him and his family as he continues to struggle through severe health threats that would leave a lesser man wallowing in self-absorbed incapacitation. On days that would send most of us groaning to our beds, our friend is out there laboring against the pain and applying his unique intellect like there's no tomorrow -- which I routinely pray there will be.
What he does is a full-time job and more. 12-hour + days are the norm, and he doesn't just close up shop Friday at 5 until Monday morning. And most of you never see what goes on behind the scenes, and what it takes before the finished product is ready for consumption, or what irons are in the fire, all of which demand attention.
Not to mention the personal risks...
As I remind readers when I put out these pleas from time to time, I'm not asking you to send charity. I'm asking those of you who perceive that you get value from regularly having free access to Mike's work to return some value in kind. I suggested some time back that a voluntary subscription of $1 per month is hardly asking too much, but don't let that stop you from giving less -- or more.
There is a "Donate" button in the right sidebar of his blog, or if you prefer, you can send a check to P.O. Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126.

So when the guy bankrolling this subversion visited BHSEC, did his armed security detail wait off campus, or was he "complicit" for bringing "guns onto public property"?
What a stool sample this Murphy character is. What a thoroughly unqualified punk.

The Shooting Cycle
We conclude by addressing whether the shooting cycle can be broken. [More]Oooh--ooh! I know the answer to that one! Ask me!
We're the Only Ones Stunning Enough
Seeing stuff like this...
...makes me wonder at what point people caught up in these situations are going to have a Salish epiphany...

Under the "Dash-2" Amendment
It's meant to confuse. [More]
That's because the truth they're trying to obfuscate in their fraud is so simple.
The whole thing reminds me of nothing so much as an Otis B. Driftwood contract reading:

Well, you should have come to the first party. We didn't get home until around four in the morning. I was blind for three days.

And remember, every dollar you spend here is one less dollar that can be used on something more effective! [More]

And tell a friend!

Another Reason Why I Never Waste My Time on Gun Boards
Having to deal with obnoxious ignoramuses like "Aimless"... [More]
It's real easy to attack another man from the comfort of anonymity. All the prog trolls and infiltrators do it.

A Mississippi Spate
The House on Tuesday passed a trio of gun-rights bills — one to prevent local governments from buying guns to destroy them, another to make clear local governments can’t seize guns during states of emergency or martial law and one clarifying state gun laws preempt local ordinances. [More]A trio? Oh, they mean a spate.
I talked about HB 314 here. Of special significance:
The legislation will also allow private citizens to hold counties and municipalities liable for ordinances that violate state preemption, giving them the ability to challenge such edicts in court, and providing attorney fees and a civil penalty that may not be paid with public funds.
What If You Passed an Edict...
...and nobody obeyed you? [More]
All those people judging and badmouthing all Connecticut gun owners have some reconsideration to do. Not to mention apologizing.

Tomorrow the World!
John Podesta, the former Clinton Administration chief of staff who is spearheading President Barack Obama’s aggressive strategy of government-by-regulation, has also been helping United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon with an even more ambitious job: setting the stage to radically transform the world’s economic, environmental and social agenda. [More]Gomer?
Oh, there you are!

A Higher Calling
We are called upon to decide whether a responsible, law-abiding citizen has a right under the Second Amendment to carry a firearm in public for self-defense. [More]By whom?
I'm sure I don't cede that decision to you.
In this case, the ball moved in the right direction.
But the ultimate "decider" on whether or not you surrender will be you.
Because this ain't over...by a long shot.

The Final Say?
I dunno--seems we might have a say in what the
final limits are... [More]
Besides, if we had an honest court, they'd have upheld "shall not be infringed" 80 damn years ago.
I've been saying since before Heller:

I've been saying since before Heller:
I believe the court will not dare say there is no individual rkba. But if they find there is one, it will be so heavily burdened with "reasonable restrictions" as to ensure the status quo. They'll never admit the truth unless someone, that would be us, has enough power to compel them.
The Nail Gun Loophole
We Have Always Depended on the Kindness of Strangers
And by golly, if limiting our options to the advantage of the gungrabbers doesn't work, well then, game over. [More]
It's not like there's any place for giving warnings in deterring aggression anyway. Or for forming alliances. Or peaceably assembling.
Besides, "screw the Founding Fathers."
But what do I know? I'm just a "masterbating to Red Dawn" with my "fanboys" while the real political chess masters are saving New York and presenting LinkedIn avatars like this:

General Schuyler passing that way, apprehending they were in some danger, from the character of the people in the vicinity on the other side of the river, obtained a militia guard until a guard could be sent by colonel Reid from Albany, which has been done. [More]

One Answer...
...to the obnoxious question "What has GOA accomplished?" typically posed by those promoting "leaders" who have hidden under their desks from this using the "single issue" excuse... [More]
And I'm glad to see "one pro-gun author" has reconsidered his opinion on this. He's a very smart guy and I'd hoped he'd come around.

College editorial calling ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws racist ignorant on all counts
But The Oracle piece is not really about "Stand Your Ground" anyway -- it's really about disparaging the ability and judgment of ordinary people to assess life-and-death situations and defend themselves. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner column stands its ground against sophomoric opinions, which is pretty much all the antis have.
