From Iowa Firearms Coalition:
Just a quick update on HF 2381, as of Friday the bill failed to be brought out of sub-committee and to the Senate Judiciary committee for a vote. This lack of action has killed the bill and it will not be brought up on the Senate floor for a vote as we had hoped.

ATF accuses Ares Armor of illegal gun sales in response to restraining order
District Judge Janis L. Sammartino of the United States District Court, Southern District of California issued an order Friday to prevent Oceanside's gun parts supplier Ares Armor from divesting itself of inventory and records subject to a temporary restraining order the court issued Tuesday. Also included in the order was notice that the TRO did “not restrain lawful criminal proceedings,” as well as a modification of the briefing schedule ordering “the parties [to] fully address all of the facts and circumstances as alleged by one another." [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an administration presumption that they have authority to forbid supposedly free citizens from possessing a piece of plastic they don’t want to allow us to have. That’s the ridiculous and inevitable result of accepting any exceptions to “shall not be infringed.”

Late Start, Continued Recovery, and Still an Abbreviated Blog
I did manage to get about six hours sleep last night, albeit with a two-hour intermission--the medicines are really kicking around my sleep patterns.
Anyway, between that and some personal stuff I need to attend to, I will again today present this site as an abbreviated blog post containing multiple links -- assuming I have time to get to them. Again, please excuse no credit tips and email replies for the time being -- any limited time I have must be focused. Matter of fact, if you would still hold on the tips and the comments, that would be helpful.
I don't know if I will have time for a GRE column today or not. In the mean time, Workman and Hofmann have each weighed in on the Ares Armor vs. ATF story. We may see more developments on that today.
Here's what I have time to link you to at the moment. If I can get back to things, the list will probably grow:
Three Links from Herschel:
Just why the hell is it in anybody's vested interest to sustain evil animals who do heinous things to helpless people?
If he didn't threaten or endanger, what's the problem? Or as the saying describing Prozi philosophy for eviscerating liberty in favor of their emotions: "Your rights end where my feelings begin."
And if he did threaten or endanger, make him regret it. I can't imagine circumstances where I would tell a stranger I was carrying a gun. If his behavior truly merited his knowing, he'd find out soon enough.
And as for "Only Ones" being shocked, shocked that he "had his firearm 'cocked and loaded,'” a hearty What about it? seems in order.
A Curious "Honor"
So do I (buy guns, that is). So why should this collaboration inspire me to buy them from you?

Court restrains ATF from seizing Ares Armor inventory and customer records
The order is the result of a motion filed Tuesday by Ares Armor for a temporary injunction, directly naming ATF Director B. Todd Jones as a defendant “in his Official Capacity as Head of The San Diego ATF Field Office,” citing that “Ares Armor is likely to succeed on the merits ... The ATF’s planned seizure violates the Fourth Amendment [and] The ATF mischaracterizes ‘EP 80 percent lower receivers’ as firearms as a pretense to seize customer information,” among the reasons. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes ATF still reversing its own precedents, making things up to suit administration purposes, and our right to property and privacy be damned.
Still Recovering--Abbreviated Blog
The blog is going to take an abbreviated format today as I continue recovering from what turned out to be pneumonia, and which put me in the ER a couple nights ago after I came to on the floor following the mother of all 3 a.m. coughing fits. I'm doing much better, and humble thanks to those of you who sent prayers and well-wishes my way.
I am going to try to do another GRE today, but in order to get that done, I need to minimize things here. It's already after noon and I am just getting started due to an interrupted sleep schedule and the need to fight my natural inclination to gut things through. As such, instead of multiple blog posts, I'm just going to add links and commentary to this post as I go through the day--so expect this post to grow as I add more items. And my apologies, but I'm going to need to forgo credits and reply emails today.
Again, please hold off on emails and comments until I signal things are back to normal. Here's the list I'll be adding to:

Bossy the Cow

| Sesame Street is in trouble now. |
“I think the word ‘bossy’ is just a squasher,” “Glee” star Jane Lynch says in a campaign PSA, while Beyonce states: “I’m not bossy… I’m the boss.” Actress Jennifer Garner asserts that “being labeled something matters,” and famed fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg adds the kicker that we “should just ban the word 'bossy'.”I guess it doesn't strike these privileged cows as ironic that they're being ... uh... bossy about this? Leave it to the Prozis to not be satisfied burning books -- in their insatiable quest to control everything, including and especially the language and the framing of terms -- they demand to ban words.

Indoctrinating the Inmates
Grand Island Student Refuses to Change NRA T-ShirtGood for the kid. He's certainly a better man than the "adults" running the school. I know a recurring comment on stories like these is to take your kid out of public school. For some families, overburdened by taxes where they are paying for public schools anyway, and a manipulated economy, that could mean the difference between getting by or living in poverty. Massive and deep changes must be made to "the system" itself before it's realistic or fair to expect that of them, which is why being an involved parent leading by example and taking responsibility for instilling and guiding values is still the first and best defense in preparing children to deal with the outside world and the insanity it often tries to impose.

NRA to Score MurthyI just received this email from WarOnGuns Correspondent JM:
I just watched Chris Cox on The Kelly File flatly state that they would be scoring the Surgeon General vote in the Senate. Mr Codrea, I want to thank you for being a decisive factor in this. Without the pressure and public shaming of the NRA, they certainly would have weaseled their way out of scoring this vote as they were clearly attempting to do. Thank you! I apologize if this is bothering you because you have been sick, but I think you deserve credit for causing the NRA to do what it's membership wants for once!I hope I played a small role in making that happen.

Petition seeks to add constitutional protections for California gun owners
The petition is not absolutist, and does make concessions to existing edicts.

If not, what preferred route toward the goal of “shall not be infringed” is likely to produce superior results?

We're the Only Ones Having a Howling Good Time Enough
Tremble before The Mighty Pupslayer! [More]
Nice sadistic maniacs they employ.
And yet another "Column C" entry...

Win Fabulous Prizes!
Take One from Column A and One from Column B
The House of Delegates is considering a bill that would link Maryland's gun registry to its criminal database. [More]
Wait a minute...wouldn't that be Column C...?

Oak Tree Won't Go Away
Two relevant updates from Michael S. Rosenwald at The Washington Post:
I have some very interesting documentation from one source with some relevant connections, and had an extended telephone conversation last night with another person who has some firsthand insights. I will be revisiting this again, pointing at some dots, and doing what I can from my end to connect them.
- The smart-gun controversy at Oak Tree Gun Club
- California store’s sale of smart guns prompts furious backlash

The Shap of Things to Come
The Vermont Speaker of the House talks about the betrayal in Burlington, and sounds like he's wholly amenable to the idea at some later date when "progressive" strength can assure victory at the state level. He comes on at about the 16:30 mark. [Listen]
In the mean time, he does his best to divide and conquer by assuring the Useful Fudds they'll be eaten last.
I'm told this weasel-wording weed has higher political ambitions.
Gomer?

No Need for Alarm
It's just us making sure we can handle you when the time comes. [More]
Got your towel?

Whyte Supremacism Affirmed in California
I wonder what he's prepared to do if enough reject his claim? [More]
Just because he thinks it's a safe decision in his immediate area doesn't mean those affected in outlying territories will be so compliant.
I see a candidate for Toys for Totalitarians.

NRA Wins Facebook War!
Breitbart says it. [More]
So does The Washington Times.
You see anything here before the Facebook decision (which doesn't even mention them)?
Anybody see anything predating the decision and mobilizing the troops on their Facebook page?
Here's what a grassroots activist has to say:
Oh yeah, here, and here and here and...
Say, anybody see an official statement on this yet...?

Here's what a grassroots activist has to say:
Unless the NRA was making backdoor negotiations with Facebook, then the NRA had absolutely nothing at all to do with this. Grassroots groups, mine included, have been fighting our asses of for over a month regarding this, contacting Facebook, gathering signatures for a petition, countering moms demand's lies and rhetoric, and the win belongs to the 2a community as a whole, because we the people did this. Not the money of the NRA.Where have we seen this before?
Oh yeah, here, and here and here and...

The Choice is Clear
One guy wants to kill you. The other wants to rape you first. [More]
Hey, if you don't vote, you can't complain!

We're the Only Ones Extra-Legal Enough
"Nobody said you did anything illegal," responded an officer. [More]Then why did you force yourself on him?
It's not exactly like Lorain "Only Ones" have established themselves as the ... uh ... only ones who can be trusted with guns.
And my goodness, those "Authorized Journalists" look breathlessly indignant and concerned. All that emphasis on "assault rifle," like they'd have been cool with a Fudd gun.
Take the Hint
This Day in History: March 6
You will see by it the Utility and Necessity of your going to Brest and there taking on board what you can of the continental Stores. It will be doing great Service to our Armies, who want much what is there provided for them and there you will find my Dispatches. [More]

Burlington voters opt to give up gun rights, gut state preemption
Gun owners nationwide should not dismiss this as a purely local matter -- the tactics involved, using a "home rule" facade to establish a patchwork quilt of impossible to comply with restrictions, is one that gun-banners attempt wherever they can. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a symbolic loss for freedom. It symbolizes collectivist willingness to play the long game and take their incremental gains where they can. It symbolizes the first steps on the road to totalitarianism.
Knowing the Score
But we are not going to allow the confirmation of this anti-gun crazy without a fight. And Gun Owners of America will score a vote in favor of Murthy as an anti-gun vote. [More]That beats NOT knowing the score.
Wouldn't you agree, NRA?
Why no confirmation after five days to anyone but Emily?
Looks like it's time for another one of these.
AFTER I do what GOA asks and contact my senators.
There.
UPDATE: And so was this:
With "Republicans" Like Mark Jacobs...
...who needs Democrats? [More]
Yes, but how is he on guns?
You tell me.
The fact that it's so hard to find out tells me all I need to know. The fact that it's not even a listed issue on his campaign site doesn't help.
I'd love to have him surprise me.
Why not just ask him?
OK:
And don't forget Facebook and Twitter.
What an interesting warning about the "Honour Team" reply:
How come they spell like Brits?

It's Not (Just) About Guns
The MILMs demand controlling everything. [More]
Don't these gals have some shopping to do?
Or maybe take the kids out for a nice drive to the beach?
The thought occurs--the most prolific killers of children in this country are Demanding Moms.
Remember, with "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

The One Group We Can ALL Discriminate Against
Read the Fine Print
This site is a satire of the current state of Law Enforcement, Fire Fighting and Emergency Medical work. Stories posted here are not real and you should not assume them to have any basis in any real fact. [More]Those of you spreading this, go back and undo what you have done. We have real issues requiring our attention.

Dazed and Confused
If they can't even go to the store without falling apart, why would we trust them with influencing gun policy? [More]
Hey, if you're going to go read the whole article, here's a little background music.

We're the Fauxnly Ones Flashing Enough
Officers think the ATF inspector hoped that his employee badge would fool them when he flashed it at them and said, “That was my badge.” [More]Thank goodness. When I read "ATF inspector," I was afraid he flashed something else.
And it's not the first time?
Now that we have reason to believe the guy is an habitual deceiver who has no compunctions against using his position to influence official investigations in order to advance his personal interests, doesn't that make every finding he's ever written up against an FFL suspect?
At what point do we dismiss everything he claims, and assume we're just not going to get the truth from him about anything?
These are the Domestic Enemies the Founders Warned Us Against
This Day in History: March 5
Captain McLane having informed me that he and some of the Officers who acted under him have had suits brought against them for the seizure of Horses and sundry Articles of provisions near the lines of the Enemy while they had possession of this City. [More]
