We're the Only Ones Deimmunized Enough

An innocent man, who had 22 years of his life taken away by deceitful police officers and prosecutors, has just received a gift from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which has stripped the defendants of their immunity. [More]

What, No Universal Background Checks?

The CIA denied having any role in arming Libyan rebels before the deadly 2012 Benghazi attacks, despite reporting by TheBlaze that the U.S. was covertly involved in providing rebels with weapons during Libya’s civil war that ultimately ended up in the hands of Al Qaeda militants...For The Record spoke with several sources who said the U.S. created a covert operation that included third-party weapons dealers so not to reveal U.S. involvement. [More]
Of course they deny it.  You'll recall the government denied the hell out of Fast and Furious, too.

It's not like there's not ample contemporaneous proof they knew weapons were getting through.

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy?

“If the same reaction happens here, we’ll be out of business,” Raymond said in an interview. [More]
One can only hope, especially since "Maryland’s Handgun Roster Board is required to review the status of personalized handgun technology and report its findings to the Governor and the General Assembly annually."

And Raymond's screwing New Jersey gun owners even worse, as they "adopted a law that will eventually require smart gun technology to be incorporated into all handguns sold in the state ... 
Twenty-three months after the Attorney General finds that smart handguns are available for retail sale, the Attorney General and the Superintendent of State Police must begin the process of promulgating a list of such handguns that may be sold in New Jersey. ...Six months after the initial list of handguns is approved, it will be unlawful for any licensed manufacturer, wholesaler, or retail firearms dealer to transport into New Jersey, sell, expose for sale, possess with the intent of selling, assign, or otherwise transfer a handgun unless it is a personalized handgun (excluding antique handguns and handguns used by law enforcement or military officers)."

So thanks, “right-wing vanguard of gun rights”Raymond. Here's hoping gun owners let you know exactly what they think of your decision.

No one is saying they should be prohibited. We're saying they shouldn't be mandated.

Tell me you don't understand the difference.

As for Armatix, I'll tell you right now, we haven't heard the last of their dealings with government--as much as they--and media allies--are trying to portray them as aggrieved victims. There are some very curious documented revelations yet to be made.

Bank stiffing porn stars more than happy to service ATF

What’s unclear at this point, particularly if JP Morgan Chase really did disassociate itself from sex industry performers over concerns of what they do, is if the bank will also now shut off the card for ATF Houston Director of Industry Operations Russell Vanderwerf, arrested in a Metairie hotel after deputies discovered “The door had ... a circular hole padded with duct tape.

Government supremacist uses hate term to push citizen disarmament

That fits right in with using the term "gun supremacists" in his latest attack on Georgia's peaceable gun owners, and it's no coincidence this professional wordsmith selected a word broadly associated with racism.

Here's one other statement she repeats ad nauseam:
Does that mean the Bloombergians are dropping all their other demands?  Once I prove myself to Erika, can I practice Constitutional carry anywhere?  Will she and they embrace "shall not be infringed"? Will they join in condemning bans on semi-autos and magazines, and advocate a repeal of the ban on private ownership of post-'86 autos?  Will they demand an end to "gun free zones"?

Not that what she's demanding doesn't have more holes in it than Albert Hall, but putting its total unacceptability aside for a moment, just what does she mean by "all good"?

FBI search for domestic menace fails to account for own threat


It really seems a case of "Who will guard the guards?" along with "The inmates are running the asylum."

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]

I guess it doesn't strike anyone that telling someone with a rifle to "Back away" a few feet wouldn't really make anyone any safer? I'm sure once they pass this, predators will fall all over each other rushing to comply. [More]

In fairness, I once told an unsavory-looking character -- and admittedly, that was my subjective judgement -- to "Back off!" and even held out my hand with a stiff arm and used the command tone to discourage him from getting within striking range.  And I was already running through my next potential moves if that didn't work. So I think any of us have the right to warn against intrusion into immediate personal space and to react if that's ignored.

But barring a clear boundary violation, it's tough to see how prior restraints like what are being discussed here aren't overkill. It sounds like when the woman said to keep away, they did.  It's the ones who don't that should concern us, and passing silly rules won't stop them.
