Provisions are so scarce here, that I am obliged to send boats down for rice. You will send by express thirty barrels, from whoever may have it, without regard of public or private property or engagements. If Heriot and Tucker have any by them, it must be taken from them, notwithstanding anything they may say, for without a supply I must move down, which would be of the worse consequence, until I can fully see the treaty properly executed.

Armed American Radio Special Announcement

I can't be on this Sunday due to a family obligation, but it's going to be a great show where Mark debunks "school shooting" myths--like how many there actually are.

Rather than me tell you about it here, I posted the press release on my Scribed account.

Read it, share it, and make sure you listen to the program.

Obama reveals desire to impose Australia-style gun bans in U.S.

“In Australia, civilians are not allowed to possess automatic and semi-automatic firearms, self-loading and pump action shotguns, handguns with a caliber in excess of .38in with only narrow exemptions, semi-automatic handguns with a barrel length less than 120mm, and revolvers with a barrel length less than 100mm,” the site advises. “In Australia, private possession of fully automatic weapons is prohibited, with only narrow exceptions for permanently inoperable collector's, display, or museum guns. [P]rivate possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and their lookalikes is prohibited in all but exceptional circumstances. [P]rivate possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is only permitted subject to stringent condition.” [More]
G’day, mates. Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report puts another shrimp on the barbie.

Obama's Greatest Frustration

And here I thought it was because no official temple for the mandatory worshiping of him has been built yet. [More]

Good Dog, Carl

The core mission of the Crime Gun Center is to identify these shooters, or these ‘three percenters,’ and the traffickers that sell them guns and get them off our streets,” said Carl Vasilko, ATF Special Agent in Charge. [More]

I want to do a through article on this, including exploring the ties and loyalties this Vasilko character has with BATFU management. Way to conflate publicly-proclaimed civil disobedience actions (of the first guy who was instrumental in getting Fast and Furious noticed) with covert activities of those funneling guns to the Chi-Town underworld.

Unfortunately, I have more on my plate than I have time to deal with, so this will have to do for now.

This is part of a coordinated character assassination/blame apportioning effort that, hand-in-hand with Holder's new task force and renewed insistence on "gun control," is all part of a game plan to "tread on us."

Good dog, Carl.

Help Us Help You

On Monday evening, Gun Owners of America blanketed the district with phone calls to registered voters, hitting Cantor for his recent vote to expand gun control and noting that Brat stands 100% for the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
Yes, and you deserve congratulations and gratitude for that.  Particularly since "the National Rifle Association ... had five-figure independent spending to promote [Cantor]."

By the same token, you had to work against yourself and spend against that "A" grade you still give Cantor, making it problematic for supporters like me to admit -- in private emails with other activists asking for a column -- that "It’s awful tough for me to write an 11th hour GOTV article titled 'Illegal alien invasion accelerates as NRA pick Cantor waves white flag' when the group that called our attention to the gun tie-in does not exact a price for betrayal."

I don't know how many primaries have been ceded because of this disconnect, but going forward, we need to see this issue, that could change the entire landscape in a decade or two, impact grades, particularly those of us who believe in and endorse the superior reliability of those assigned by GOA. That should never be jeopardized because of something as avoidable as inconsistency.

I post this in the spirit of the title.

Mike the Gunkapo

He's at it again, making the case that concealed carry hasn't had a measurable deterrent effect in Newark, or some such, and therefore we shouldn't let you carry a gun. [More]

It's telling to see the only real attacks on John Lott are all ad hominem.

I wouldn't be surprised to find him in negotiations with Armatix just so he can torpedo those people in New Jersey he acts like he cares so much about and become a hero.  I understand why his shop still has customers, Masshole Fudds and all, but what I don't understand is why any gun or ammo maker would continue to supply him.

And why NRA continues to do so as well.

Speaking of Fantasy Worlds...





Interesting how AnonyJohn here chose an armed insurrectionist for his avatar and screen name.  I don't suppose the contradiction, going from "It's not an effort to get rid of all the guns" to "really serious effort needs to be done to disarm the public" in the very next sentence registers with this wretched creature as a disconnect?

All of his insulting and ignorant posts fits the classic troll profile: Both psychopath and sadist, and infiltrator and disruptor. Remember that about them. They cannot hurt you unless you let them and they know that.

Drawn into a Debate

Looks like there's some discussion going on and my handle came up:


I'm afraid to get involved, because CSGV might criticize me by calling me "white" again. I will venture this before I need to get back to  work:

Yes, of course the militia was intended to be "well regulated" when called into service. Members could be checked out to make sure the armaments they brought were as required. That said nothing about what they left at home, and what the people could keep and bear when not mustered. As Hamilton noted:
“To oblige the great body of the yeomanry, and of the other classes of the citizens, to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well-regulated militia, would be a real grievance to the people, and a serious public inconvenience and loss...Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped…”
Item two, as long as we're going to be bringing up preambles, let's make sure we don't forget the one  that preceded the Bill of Rights, which made a point of explaining:
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.
Anyone who does not concede 2A is a "restrictive clause" on government is quite simply a liar.

And to see Shatner, in spite of that "Boston Legal" clip, where gun owners think he's one of them because he was playing a caricature of a "right winger," stumping for PETA.  I suppose "A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" is one way of showing Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. And don't get me started on Brent Spiner.

So I guess it's no surprise to see Chicagoan David Gerrold, who's been milking Tribbles for the past going-on half a century, reveal himself to be an unreconstructed Prozi. He just slammed the door on a man who has a demonstrably superior vision of humanity's future in freedom.
