Target gun poser photo provokes angry backlash
At this writing, he has not responded. It may be because he has no desire to and wants to put an embarrassing act behind him, it may be because he is too busy, or it may be because, in addition to the potential for a police investigation, some activists have taken their outrage a step further and approached his employer, Petroleum Engineering World, leaving comments on their Facebook page obviously designed to get them to reconsider his employment.[More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a picture may not only be worth a thousand words, it may also be worth a lot more to someone who doesn’t want either the cops or his boss to see it.

Snuffing Out Liberty
Executive Action
From a range operator in a southern state:
As an aside, leave it to "Every day is Opposite Day" Prozis to deem us all safer by threatening places where we can train and practice.
After 50 years of existence, we are suddenly having an OSHA inspection of our ranges. We found out recently that the local skeet/trap club is also having an OSHA inspection. Have you heard of this happening else where? With this administration, I am paranoid with anything involving the Federal Government and attacks on civil rights. Please let me know if you have heard of other OSHA inspections of ranges.My reply:
http://www.examiner.com/article/osha-shooting-range-ruling-points-to-agenda-besides-worker-safetyOK, I'm asking.
Plus see supporting links. The head of OSHA is an anti-gun ideologue a handful of us warned about before he was confirmed by the Senate.
I would not be surprised to see them stepping this kind of harassment up. I'm not aware of anyone raising an alarm on this and do not know how widespread it is -- I'll ask around.

Still, if it happens, it won't be without unintended consequences, especially as more American see for themselves exactly whose side the Prozi administration is on.
At that point, things could really get ugly.

The Character of Anti-Gun Characters
I ran across a few comments I though was illustrative of a mentality among anti-gun "males":
You're right, John. You should not have a gun.
Ah, but if he doesn't trust himself, how dare YOU presume to be trustworthy?
Others believe in (agents of the state) disarming their betters so strongly they endorse making false police reports on open carriers and possibly getting them killed-- now there's a novel way to practice "common sense gun safety" and "stop the violence"!

Buying a Better Mouse Trap
We found mice coming up in the basement through the sump pump floor cover, so I needed to buy a few traps.
Sorry, Ace Hardware in Hudson, OH, but your "No Guns" sign told me I was not welcome there, so I complied and went somewhere else. When did you put it back up? No business-breaking purchase, for sure, but I'll need plenty of other stuff you sell, and I won't be buying it from you as long as that stupid and offensive sign is up.
Do you think a criminal intent on taking your money (and who knows what else?) will heed it? Or just people bringing YOU money? From the looks of your parking lot, it doesn't appear that you can afford to drive too many more of them away:
It's not the first time Ace has disappointed. Ah well, they're not the only game in town. If they'd rather have their rule than gun owner business, don't be surprised if the facility decays even further.

Miller campaign should receive boosts from immigration watchdog and NRA
As Miller says, “The truth is, most politicians support ‘gun rights’ because it is politically expedient. Our founders embraced the right to keep and bear arms as fundamental. They knew that for a free people, it was not just a personal right, but a political right, the last line of defense against a tyrannical government.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report presents an opportunity to help a true ally, thwart the establishment and maybe even change the balance of power a bit -- that is, providing YOU want to.
Worth a Thousand Words
To their credit, and deserving of our gratitude, they have been alone in identifying a gestating threat, and successful to the point of drawing desperate Prozi flak. But for some reason, their political arm refuses to follow through with rating impacts, despite numerous behind-the-scenes pleas from longtime strong supporters.
Time was, I could give their grades a credibility edge over the other guys, especially when the "competition" offers a feeble "single issue" excuse to provide cover for competing interests. It's awful tough calling for organized involvement when the leader refuses to press a unique advantage on THE hot-button issue of our time around which motivated activists can rally.
If anything has the potential to change the political landscape over the next decade and more, to the detriment of RKBA interests at the polls, this is it.
I look forward to being able to resume my unequivocal support for GOA grades. When that will be, I can't say.

Rather than simply extending its current information collection, ATF’s request would have vastly expanded the scope of the information that it requires. If finalized, all FFLs -- not just the ones in the border states -- would be required to report all sales of multiple rifles within five consecutive business days. Those reports would be required regardless of whether the sales were to one buyer or multiple buyers. Except for a smattering of small FFLs, this new reporting requirement would mean that all FFLs in the nation could be required to report to the ATF virtually all their rifle sales. [More]No kidding?

What might happen? I dunno, I really have no basis to speculate, or even conclude that wasn't part of a random routine instead of a targeted action. But spyware and/or malware come to mind, or, noting something someone tried to set up another liberty leader with, there is another insidious potentiality that enemies could try in an attempt to discredit and set up. Like I said, worries about directed tampering could prove to be much ado about nothing, and Mike did not ask me to do anything but be personally aware of his observation, but one thing I learned from Fast and Furious is that the best protection we outsiders have sometimes can be shining bright lights and banging pots and pans.
We're the Only Ones Vs. A Mugged Liberal Enough
"Are you serious?" [More]
I love how Only Ones will apply the continuum of force like this in the name of "public safety." I also love how 'I'm a professor" is supposed to make a difference in how citizens are treated. How very "progressive."
And I don't suppose "Mindy" perceives any contradiction in declaring "...the rights of citizens to carry concealed guns in bars and restaurants – lays the foundation for incident [sic] like this."
Don't worry, Mindy --if the felony aggravated assault charge holds, she won't "legally" be "allowed" to.

We're the Only Ones Charged Enough
A complaint filed Friday charges 37-year-old Darrin Duane Hirsh of Great Bend with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of criminal threat, domestic battery, two counts of witness intimidation and two counts of violation of a restraining order. [More]And the hits just keep on coming...

A Standing Joke
Krieger determined that the plaintiffs lacked standing in their lawsuit. [More]Mark that, Only Ones. You're the guys they expect to risk all enforcing this nonsense, but you don't have a say.
Feel like tools, yet?
And thanks for nominating her, "Vote Freedom First" President!
WarOnGuns Correspondent CYDL notes some appealing sheriffs, and adds "The ultimate appeal will be this November. We need turnout."
Connecticut Gun Commission Exhibits Mental Issues of Its Own
The latest bizarre proposals, presented under the auspices of the Orwellian-named Subcommittee on Firearms/Ammunition, Best Practices/Protocols and Violence Reduction, are numerous, bureaucratic, unwieldy, terminally politically correct, and frankly, pretty stupid. As far as concerns for gun owners, they boil down to two big showstoppers: They want to "[r]equire that any shell casing for ammunition sold or possessed in Ct. have a serial number laser etched on same for tracing purposes," and "[t]hat a mental health suitability screening process be developed for anyone seeking a license to sell, purchase or carry any type of firearm in Ct." [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes as far as Connecticut anti-gun nuts go, it's a madhouse. A MADHOUSE!
Relatives of criminal shot trying to hold up Waffle House demand 'gun control'
“Tamika McSwain is Williams' cousin and said more training is needed before someone is given a CWP,” the Fox report relates. “McSwain said her family was disappointed that Harrison wasn't charged in the shooting and says her family is still considering pursuing other legal action against him.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes “respectable boys” behave that way.
An Evolved Twist...
Let's hope MILM there washed those things, so the kids don't pick up anything else.
How very "progressive" the propaganda masters are, putting those things in the hands of child actors. I'm sure they'd dismiss that concern as an uptight, repressed conservative just being a prude.
I note there is no message on "Teach children to respect privacy and property boundaries" and "Teach development-appropriate firearm and other safety lessons."
The forehead-palming thing is, I'm seeing some, who should know better, expressing appreciation for the "cleverness" of the bit, and believing it to be an effective "safety" message that shouldn't be knocked. Congratulations on helping professional illusionists employed by an "evolved" breed of disarmament advocates succeed in their sleight of mind.

Politely Phrased
Is Seattle mayor mimicking Bloomy group’s exaggeration, misrepresentation? [More]See, I'd have just asked "Why is the tyranny-minded bastard such a shameless damn liar?" but the question answers itself.
Count Chocula Must Die Redux
In the United States today, the names Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa apply not only to Indian tribes but also to military helicopters. Add in the Black Hawk, named for a leader of the Sauk tribe. Then there is the Tomahawk, a low-altitude missile, and a drone named for an Indian chief, Gray Eagle. Operation Geronimo was the end of Osama bin Laden. [More]Jeez, life must be pretty good for you, Simon, if this is all you have to grouse about.
What I want to know, as a proud, full-blooded Transylvanian-American, do you have any idea how offensive and intimidating my people find it when you Prozis refer to belly-aching collectivist whiners and parasites, who share no investment risks, as "stakeholders"?

A Fundamental Flaw
...at least as mobilized and well-funded as the NRA and the gun manufacturers are... [More]If it doesn't involve top-down direction and central control, this guy and his minions are blind to the real reasons -- and in denial that ultimately, the decision to capitulate or defy will be individual.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen NRA needing to be dragged into a fight, or seen them and NSSF thwarted on "compromises" by ornery --what did a prag call some of us once? Oh, yeah, "principles freaks" -- who will have none of it.
On the one hand, it makes impatient, impulse control-challenged Prozis overreach, which is always dangerous. On the other, that reveals the ravenous face under the mask and increases resolve to resist, which, lest they forget, is also dangerous.
A Pleasant Point
Congratulations, Frank DiGirolamo of Point Pleasant!There should be a law requiring every household with a gun (no matter what kind) to post a sign in a window or on the front lawn warning that there are firearms in that home. [More]
You win!

I have the honor to enclose a cypher which I have been compelled to retain some time for wanting a safe opportunity of transmiting. When more than one word is represented by the same cypher if it should be equivocal, it may be proper to shew which is designed by drawing two strokes under the second & three under the third as for differ 788—difficult 788. tho this will seldom be necessary except now & then at the beginning of a sentence before the sense is sufficiently plain to serve as a direction. [More]I'm looking forward to the next season of "Turn," but it'll be a while.

Judge speculates on ATF jealousy, perjury, potential criminality in Dobyns suit
“I have to say I don't think there's serious question that certain agents of the ATF here acted inappropriately, likely contrary to Agency policy and maybe even unlawfully in dealing with Agent Dobyns,” Allegra noted. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the unintended consequences of showing troops you deploy they're not only expendable, they're disposable as a matter of vindictive convenience. In other words, as far as loyalty-building is concerned, they've gone full B. Todd.
The Obvious Solution
Declare they're in recess by Executive Order. [More]
I mean, it's not like presidents are ever impeached over appointments or anything...
Maybe "Ximinez" will fetch the comfy chair in retaliation.

Disloyalty Card
Ah, we see on April 19 you purchased an "assault rifle" and a week later donated to an SPLC-identified "extremist hate group"...A North Carolina hospital official who is using patient’s credit card and store loyalty card transaction details to create so-called patient “risk profiles” donated to Obama for America...
