Notes from the Resistance...
Popular gun rights writer David Codrea noted ... in his Examiner.com blog that he “warned back in 2009 that Obama’s pick to head the [federal job safety] agency, David Michaels, was strongly anti-gun and committed to using regulatory schemes to get his way.” [More]
I am taking care of me… I am afraid. At that moment I did not know he was handcuffed. I responded the way I was trained to respond. I reacted to what I saw. If I fail, I don’t come home to my family.”[More]We could say the same thing...
How to record police encounters without losing your video [More]This helps answer a question pondered here.
We’re going through the proper process for transitioning our Demand Action page to ‘Everytown,’ which takes a few weeks, and acquiring trademark protection for both Everytown and Everytown for Gun Safety. Once that happens, we expect Facebook to shoo these cybersquattters politely off this name/page.” [More]Hey, what happened to getting there first? These dopes never thought of claiming names before they committed to them?
So he allegedly pulled a blue-steel Intratec .22-caliber submachine gun... [More]
The murderous Fort Hood shooting spree last week could have been prevented if military leaders were allowed to carry firearms on base, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul said Sunday. [More]Great idea Mike-- that way, only MAJOR Hassan would have been armed for the first shooting spree!
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) has introduced a bill called the "Contempt Act," which would prevent current and future federal employees from collecting their taxpayer-funded salaries as long as they're being held in contempt of Congress. [More]Unfortunately:
Prognosis 18% chance of getting past committee.Contemptible.
5% chance of being enacted.
He also had good reason to suspect his target locations would offer slim resistance. A phone call placed by an ally working with the Kansas State Rifle Association to the Jewish Center went unanswered due to the Passover holiday, but a call to Village Shalom confirmed they are posted "No Guns." A follow-up visit this morning showed both facilities are posted. Even though such signs don't carry the force of law in the Sunflower State, except to pursue trespass charges if a person asked refuses to leave, they serve to establish both a notice to those with evil intent, as well as a cultural expectation among patrons and visitors, so that even people in parking lots who habitually frequent such facilities will likely not be armed. [More]Oh, and despite what the Every Day is Opposite Day "progressives" would like us to believe, there's some inconvenient documented information on a notorious political movement they'd rather we remained unaware of...
Police remove a body from the scene of a multiple fatal stabbing in northwest Calgary. Five people died from their injuries. [More]Because as the gun rights prevention control freaks love to remind us, knife attacks aren't deadly, or dangerous, or something like that... Hell, just ask Sharon Tate!
“USA Brass passed a subsequent inspection by OSHA,” Marbut wrote. “However, upon OSHA’s first visit, I’m told, USA Brass managers didn’t kneel quickly enough to OSHA inspectors and offended them by not being subserviently cooperative. So, the subsequent raid by EPA, FBI and others was conducted to teach them a lesson about federal power and proper cooperation.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes with some brassy federal egos, “Kneel before Zod!” appears to be more than just a movie trope.
I try to stay within the basic confines of the gun issue even though so many other areas cry out--RKBA just seems the best place to apply my energies, plus I don't have a forum for essays outside of that. In re a flat tax, without forcing the govt back into proper Constitutional restraints, that won't stanch the spending and borrowing, it will simply change which pocket they get their plunder from, and I don't believe it would be possible politically to enact without carving out means-based exemptions to ensure Democrat dependency reigns supreme--and to continue bleeding the productive. I would actually prefer the feds having to go to the states for funds based on apportionment, which would certainly cause some to challenge, withhold, sue, delay, rebel, and explore what they can do cheaper for themselves or do away with altogether--that along with returning appointments of senators to state legislatures to get rid of urban domination and give us a more direct and effective way of extracting revenge for bad confirmation votes would be two reforms I'd like to be able to wave my magic wand to enact.That along with enforcing "shall not be infringed"...
“I love the idea of tasers for neighborhood guardians, because they usually are not lethal,” he concludes. [More]Sorry, pal. You still still don't get it, and it's a little late to trust that you'll ever learn.
...you can’t just ignore the laws we don’t like. [More]HA!
From FL. Carry, Sean Caranna, from Ct. Citizens Defense League, Scott Wilson, the great Alan Gottlieb, regular contributors David Codrea and George Hill along with special in-studio guests trainer Rob Pincus and world famous tattoo artist and Pincus student, Brandon Bond. Calls, emails, “Grilling While Armed” and MORE!
I believe we have no spare arms; however, I will make more strict enquiry, and let you know. Arms are expected from the Northward, but they will be a long time on the road, if we are to judge of the future by the past. [More]
There are some very powerful people who have done their best to cover up what really happened at the Bundy ranch in Clark County Nevada. Fortunately they failed. [More]Will the establishment dare allow Harry Reid to be investigated?
With his racketeering conviction overturned, a former top official for international gun manufacturer Glock Inc. is seeking civil damages from the city of Smyrna and its police department for launching an unwarranted criminal investigation of him at what he claims was Glock's behest. [More]I guess I just don't get why a former NJ prosecutor would be COO for a gun company in the first place. Kind of like the guy who headed HK now running Armatix. Or this guy working for NSSF.
'Fast and Furious' guns found their way to El Paso and Columbus, NM [More]Yep. Plenty of questions asked some time ago still need to be answered.
The Uneasiness wch you mention to have Arisen in your Line on Acco. of Pay, is I fancy, built upon a mistaken ground: no pay has been lately given to the Troops of any State, from the United States funds—whatever has been given to any of them, has been by the Advancement of their particular States... [More]
Assuming their sting activities are over so the FBI can no longer dismiss inquiries using an "ongoing investigation" excuse, this would appear to be the type of law enforcement operation that cries for oversight hearings. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes if the guy was given a pass, someone in the administration probably had a hand in it. Why not pull the thread and see who?
Ernst Mauch, since 2005, ex-CEO of HK and since 2006 CEO of Armatix...[More]
We want a police officer to be able to take any gun, his partner's gun, a criminal's gun, any gun, and use that gun to his advantage. If he is in a scuffle, and he gets a criminal's weapon and it's useless to him, we've got a safety problem. [More]The FOP, of all groups, has a novel consideration...
Can the government seize your tax refund to pay a relative's debt? [More]Well, since the Constitution no longer matters, why would proscriptions against "corruption of blood" be an impediment?
"...violent people cause violence.” [More]Fine and good, but his "there isn’t a constitutional amendment that says we have a right to have a car" assertion shows the guy needs to stick to his field of training.
Weekend Violence Leaves Four Dead, 37 Wounded [More]Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
The President strongly believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. But... [More]What liars.
They would have to be proven constitutional under some form of heightened scrutiny. [More]Why? We're the ones who have to prove ourselves now?
As a part of the plea deal, the indictment against Emmert was dismissed and he avoided trial on felony charges of possession of an unregistered machine gun and possession of a machine gun. [More]I'm sure Wayne Fincher will be happy to hear that "law enforcement" gets special treatment. Even after they udderly discredit themselves.
I cannot but hope the State Troops destined for the defence of your frontier will have arrived before the first of May because Under whatever circumstances you may be it will be impossible for me at that time, consistent with the general arrangements, to afford any further aid of Continental Troops. [More]
I have a grassroots show lined up with Sean Caranna in FL, Scott Wilson from CCDL and Alan Gottlieb, along with Rob Pincus in the studio with me.I'll be coming on in hour three, and understand we'll be addressing the situation in Nevada, among other things. I also expect George "Mad Ogre" Hill will be joining in, along with the Chairman of the Board Ops, Sean "Seanto" Young.
With the potentially explosive situation developing in the area, the situation is quickly becoming reminiscent of the federal siege at Waco 21 years earlier, particularly noting how the Branch Davidians hung a banner pleading “God help us: We want the press” as the government kept the media at a manageable distance from Mount Carmel for reasons if its own. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes in spite of reports of BLM standing down, the “no fly zone” can keep things dangerous.
And then on my own I found this:

At the Creek, I'll be wearing my "Arms Smuggler" hat to make it easier for the ATF and probably hanging around the Shotgun News tables (or at least I'll let them know where I am).He just called me to let me know that for the first time in who knows how many years, SN does not have a table. Just perfect.
But the man they gunned down Monday night wasn't the slasher; he was a fleeing hostage. [More]Not that we want you protecting yourself--somebody could get killed!
Except with governments involved, things can never be left to individual choice. [More]
He is accused of using the agency's federal firearms license and his relationship with gun manufacturer Sig Sauer to obtain discounted and free guns. He then provided them to high-up agency officials for their personal use... [More]If only he'd just done things the old fashioned way...
"Have you ever seen a situation where a civilian needs to fire more than 15 rounds in the self-defense?" he was asked.
"No," Montgomery replied. [More]No, of course he hasn't. Some things are the exclusive purview of the Only Ones.
That these ivory tower infants presume to teach, yet display such appalling disregard for fundamental principles of liberty, makes their advocacy journalistic malpractice of the lowest order. That they influence public opinion, at least among the ignorant to the benefit of the opportunistic, demonstrates common ground and agreement are impossible to attain. [More]I'd say the Prozi anti-gunners at The Hartford Courant could stand some education, but that presupposes getting past their fanaticism, ignorance and ethical shortcomings...
And why wouldn't those over-achieving Zappas--Ahmet, Diva, Dweezel, Gail and Moon--jump at the chance to get their names in print? It's not like anybody actually knows what the hell it is they do or why they're famous.* Should have said "produced."
A “Red Army” vodka drink with packaging modelled on a Kalashnikov rifle has been found by regulators to be inappropriate. [More]A mindlessly bizarro zero tolerance control freak like redundant (but well-compensated for it) Duncan McCausland, chair of the Independent Complaints Panel, sounds for all the world to me more like Diana Moon Glampers than anything.
Oberlin College professor Eunjung An sued her employer last month, alleging that Oberlin failed to protect her from Ali Yedes, a fellow French Department professor whom An alleges has harassed her and threatened her life. [More]What better town for the Prozis to demand special disarmament rules?
Sheriffs warn of violence from Mexican cartels deep into interior of U.S. [More]Brought to you courtesy of the Prozis, who will then exploit the damage to demand you and I disarm.
I conceive it my duty to represent to your excellency, that since the troops have gone thro’ the small pox, the infection is still kept up in the quarters of every regiment on West point by the arrival of recruits and men from command or furlough who have not had it. [More]
As part of required education for licensing, federal employees acting within the state of Montana would need to complete basic training that includes instruction concerning “[t]he Constitution and laws of Montana, including the right to privacy ... [t]he culture of Montana people and their expectations of service providers, including ethics[and] [t]he oath of office.” Additionally, “Administrative, military, outdoors and law enforcement workers must complete advanced training ... that includes instruction concerning ... [i]ndividual rights that the state's citizens have reserved to themselves from interference by government workers.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an outside the box proposal that may help rein in currently unaccountable feds.
Evanston Police Offering No Firearm Signs to Businesses [More]Funny...the signs don't say "Commoners Only."
Coalition of Western State Legislators, Sheriffs, and Veterans Stand Vigil in Support of Embattled Nevada Rancher, Cliven Bundy ‘To Prevent Another Ruby Ridge or Waco”UPDATE 3: Mike shares advice from Bob Wright.
A Delegation of state legislators, lead by Washington State Representative Matt Shea, along with a delegation of current serving Sheriffs, lead by Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, and military and police members of Oath Keepers, are converging on the site of a stand-off between federal law enforcement and Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy, to prevent bloodshed and to stand in defense of hardworking rural Americans who are under assault by a runaway federal government. [More]
R Livestock in Monroe. The company has contracted with the federal government to sell the livestock.Perhaps they could explain how that differs from economic fascism. I see they're a "Member of the Utah Cattlemen's Association." Perhaps they could explain...I see they're trying, but I have to go by what they're letting a member get away with...
Although you have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise...[More]Not Old Bloody Hands!!!
We are pleased that Mark Boughton has ended his affiliation with Michael Bloomberg’s organization, although I am not sure that the timing of his departure will help his campaign at this point, or even if his leaving MAIG was intended for that purpose. [More]Interesting, what is perceived to be politically advantageous...
...a fully armored military vehicle designed to prowl a desert war zone... [More]So what are they preparing to do? And who is "the enemy"?
How about, If you shouldn’t operate a car, you shouldn’t operate a gun? How about with the new electronic medical record that emails the prescription to the pharmacy, another email would also go out to the local sheriff to collect any weapons in the house for the duration of the prescription? [More]How about if you come collect mine?
The inclosed from captain Pray came to hand a few minutes since with the two New-York papers. The serjeant who was the bearer of the letter acquaints me that after he left captain Pray he was informed that a party of refugees landed early this morning at Haverstraw and took several militia men, and then reimbarked. Probably this manoeuvre is a feint to cover a design somewhere else on the lines. I have written to captain Pray, that if the brig and boats remain at anchor against his post, to move up with his boats at night, and take his station at Kings-ferry; or if he cannot get by them, to haul his boats over the bank where they can be defended. I have detached one hundred men from the 10. [More]
