Colorado's governor, Denver's mayor and other dignitaries receive a more robust Denver police response than the public under new rules recently adopted by the city's 911 system. [More]Well, yeah, because it only makes sense the commissars' lives are more important than yours and your family's...
5 Killed, More Than 40 Wounded in Violent Chicago Weekend
Woman killed while heading home from an anti-violence event among the victims [More]
A Los Angeles Police Department captain in charge of citywide surveillance says the proliferation of technology for keeping tabs on ordinary citizens is no more worrying than the implementation of street lights in early America. [More]And if they work so well outside the home, think of how much "domestic violence" and "drug crimes" we could curb if you took Capt. Romero's rationale to the next "logical" step.
I think it necessary, therefore, as I am not well informed of the full ex tent of the discontent, to call our force together from all parts, as well to awe the malcontents, if any there be, as to prevent the enemy from attempting anything in consequence thereof. [More]
My latest JPFO Alert notes perhaps the threat they're looking for lurks in the mirror...and yeah, that giant inflatable pink pig is one of the things government looks for to decide who to suspect--really. Read on.It really seems a case of "Who will guard the guards?" along with "The inmates are running the asylum." Functionaries who are themselves under official suspicion are officially suspicious of everyone else. And a government that is out of control is fixated on controlling everyone and everything, right down to the most ridiculous level of details. [More]
... he claimed the dog was about to bite him and shot the dog to defend himself ... the necropsy report by a veterinarian proves that Candy was shot in the back of the head. [More]No wonder they had to get rid of him for HIS safety...
The Indianapolis police officer killed last week by her ex-husband, a fellow officer, was "extremely afraid" for her, according to a petition for a personal protection order she filed last month. [More]I thought I just blogged this the other day, but that was about another couple of "Only Ones."
The proposed ban on converted semi-automatics without the safety feature is a priority for the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, said the group's legislative expert, Amanda Wilcox. [More]Why, Amanda?
Seven police employees, including four sworn officers, have been disciplined for keeping parts of confiscated firearms that had been ordered destroyed... [More]I just sent an email to the "real reporter" who filed a story just begging for more details a watchdog press would figure the public deserved to know about, simply as a matter of course.

If such a Fellow is not damn'd it is not worth while to keep a Devil.
This prompted a strong reaction on the part of the 40 sheriffs in attendance. Not only did they refuse to disarm but they walked out of the meeting en mass... [More]Yeah? So any action on HB2672 yet? Or is this still the sole and exclusive province of the "Only Ones"?
Activist Connecticut gun owners who have expressed a desire to “throw the bums out” owe it to themselves to give the Higbie campaign a close look, and if they like what they see, do more than just post comments on the internet. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the type of candidate gun owners say they want. Now we’ll find out if they mean it enough to work for it.
Those in the Law Enforcement Profession have complete Power and Authority over You, Your Life, Your Family, Your Loved Ones, Your Rights, Your Freedom,Your future,and Everything Precious to LifeWhat can Brown do to you?
No Fly Zone Over Bundy Ranch Cancelled Same Day After BLM Left Bunkerville [More]No word on if they've also canceled front group helicopters with fake numbers providing air support to ground-based provocateurs...
Muslim drivers at Cleveland airport refuse to drive cabs with Gay Games advertising [More]Where the hell are the ""progressives"?
And those communities will get to decide for themselves. [More]You know, tyranny of the local majority-mandated Bill of Rights-free Zones!
Carter, whose family has South Georgia roots, brushed off questions about the bill by saying he’s an “NRA Democrat.”And we've seen how reliable they are.
House Bill 1189, sponsored by state Representative Barbara Norton (D-Shreveport), would make it a crime to intentionally, or with criminal negligence, expose children, age ten and under, to firearms that are not locked in a container or equipped with a locking device. If passed and enacted into law, HB 1189 would require all Louisianans with children in this age group to render firearms inoperable, thereby hindering their immediate use for protection and failing to take into account each family’s own self-defense needs. [More]Oh, look: It's Ahdar Ru'afo from "Star Trek: Insurrection"! I knew some evil alien presence had to be behind this.
That Humanity which has hitherto deterr’d us from retaliating upon our Enemies their own barbarous treatment of Prisoners, and which is the only ground of argument that can be urg’d against my proposal, has already cost us the lives of too many valuable Citizens; that Line of Conduct which sacrifices a Countryman rather than to inflict pain on an Enemy, does not indeed merit the name of humane or generous; the first political as well as moral Duty is self preservation. [More]
My latest JPFO Alert notes an admittedly important decision may be forthcoming, but even if it is, and even if it's in our favor, the core principle at the heart of the right to keep and bear arms will still have not been touched.While different legal minds and "informed" court-watchers are nattering on about judicial review, and whether intermediate or strict scrutiny should apply (and perhaps even contesting how many angels can dance on the head of a pin), what the High Court will not address, should they elect to hear the case, are the clear words those of us, without robes and law degrees and political connections with attendant obligations, understand instinctively:
"... shall not be infringed." [More]
As honest as he is brave, I see...maybe that's why they didn't release his name.A California deputy accidentally shot himself while trying to kill a dog that he said was threatening his life on Wednesday, but video captured by a local television station later showed the animal much smaller than reported and peacefully playing with children. [More]
"I am a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, and I have signed into law numerous pieces of legislation to advance and protect gun rights. However... [More]
ATF plans new case management system [More]Can it trace walked guns to the heads of cartels? And will they also be able to access all those gun shop record scans I keep hearing about?
According to the sources, the official allegedly spread the word that whomever took the scope could place it in his unlocked car with no questions asked. The sources claim a top official in the department then walked in with the scope a half hour later. [More]So much for "core values."
"We are a nation of laws, not of men and women.” [More]Yeah. Who do these people think they are, Jeh Johnson?
Jeff, I am not convinced either, but if I am going to publicly pin it on the Bloombergians, proof is needed. While I have not seen them crowing about this, which favors the suspicion that they would rather not call attention to the source for reasons of their own, the standard I am compelled to use is one of reasonable doubt. As such, the presumption is "not guilty." Perhaps your contacts and investigative skills will strike pay dirt, in which case you will have a scoop that will draw much deserved attention for TFC. I know I'm going to keep looking. As the links I provide above show, assuming guns fire rounds with casings is something we have seen in the past.The latest development there is "Everytown's" communications director has officially denied responsibility. Still...
''We enjoyed two months of freedom, and the federal government came to remove it.''Sorpresa, sorpresa, sorpresa!
The EPA is asserting that all ground water, whether temporary or not and regardless of size is part of the “waters of the United States.” [More]Well, I'm on the ground in the United States, and I'm 60% (+/- a few) water. I assumed I owned it.
“Here the #NYPD engages with its community members, changing hearts and minds one baton at a time,” a user of Occupy NYC’s twitter handle wrote under a picture of cops struggling with protesters. [More]Here's my entry:

NRA surprisingly credited with crafting new anti-gun laws
The tides may be turning within the National Rifle Association: according to a new report, America’s largest gun-lobbying group has helped advance three bills recently that limit firearm ownership, and more could soon be added to that list. [More]
How Chicago Became ‘Chiraq’ [More]Well, according to "Authorized Journalist" Michale Daly, of Biden's "legitimate news media," and the Garry McCarthy quotes and observations he emphasizes, it would appear to be because of guns.
The Recruits raising in the States from whence your Army is composed, are compleating as fast as circumstances will admit, and Portion in Code will be ready to go on to you as early as the Portion in Code which at present from a variety of Circumstances, among which Portion in Code—The State of Maryland had some Time ago. Portion in Code which have been sent on from Philadelpa, a Number also Are collected in Pensylvania. Portion in Code Our Information respecting the Enemys Intentions and their future Mode of War is more clearly ascertained, as well as our knowledge of the Support and Assistance which we expect from our Ally. Portion in Code You are not insensible of the Disadvantages we have ever experienced in attempts. Portion in Code It having hitherto proved. Portion in Code. [More]
A Cook County sheriff's office correctional officer apparently shot to death his wife, a Chicago police officer, inside their Southwest Side home Sunday morning before turning the gun on himself, authorities said. [More]Working some of that old McCarthy magic, I see.
Badges, Guns Stolen During LAPD Football Game With San Diego Officers [More]So much for tough California laws stopping criminals from getting guns.
Making National news at the Bundy Ranch in NV, Sheriff Richard Mack returns to AAR, the Godfather of self-defense, Massad Ayoob discusses the armed lifestyle, Rob Pincus, David Codrea, George Hill, Seanto and more!
During the segment I was on (Hour 3) I mentioned a case, but because I hadn't expected the conversation to go in that direction, I had a senior moment and got cases mixed up--I was doing Google searches for the rest of the program, but couldn't remember and find the right one--anyway, when you hear me say "Emerson," replace that with "Bean."
“The Court ordered the return of Razzano’s long arms [but] after years of litigation ... Razzano is still ‘ineligible’ for a Nassau County pistol license, and thus under the SAFE Act is subject to having all of his ‘weapons’ confiscated, including hunting rifles and shotguns for self-defense in his home,” the current Razzano lawsuit explains. [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes an overlooked case that deserves attention for no other reason than one of basic justice.
I am very happy to hear of the rapid Progress of your Affairs. They fear in England that the States will make with us an alliance offensive and deffensive, and the public Funds which they had puff’d up 4 or 5 per Cent, by the Hope of a separate Peace with Holland, are falling again. They fill their Papers continually with Lies to raise and fall the Stocks. It is not amiss that they should thus be left to ruin one another, for they have been very mischievous to the Rest of Mankind. [More]
What gave the poster special credibility for this correspondent is because the level of ignorance it displays has been seen before over the years. Similar blunders had been pointed out in two related posts on The War on Guns blog. One demonstrated cluelessness by “Authorized Journalists” who ran a photo of an Iraqi woman holding two rounds of unfired ammunition she claimed hit her house. The other, from budding college journalists, featured a handgun “firing” complete cartridges as a front page headlined centerpiece. [More]After much scrambling, we may be closer to what happened and how, but at this point, nothing would surprise me.
Jim Ardis, mayor of Peoria, Illinois, ordered police to track down whoever was responsible for a parody Twitter account mocking him. [More]And they didn't tell him to go to hell...?
But this is a republic, dammit — and those who hope to keep it cannot pick and choose the provisions with which they are willing to deign to comply. [More]You go ahead and turn in your guns when ordered to then.
The inclosed papers which I have the Honor to transmit to your Excellency, contain a State of Facts, with their Testimonials, respecting the Death of Capt. Joshua Huddy, who after being a prisoner some Days with the Enemy in N. York, was sent out with a party of Refugees, & most cruelly & wantonly hanged on the Heights of Middletown. [More]
