The "better life" illegals seek is created by something in our spirit not in our wallets. If immigrants can learn that spirit and work from it themselves, welcome to the USA, if immigrants try to simply take the fruit of that spirit without being a source of that spirit, your victory will be short lived like baboons raiding an orchard and destroying the trees and farmers then finally eating each other when the loot runs out (see post-colonial Africa). They could have learned the spirit that created the land they wanted to live in.

Campaign to shame Kroger ignores real dangers
Put another way, MDA may as well ask why anyone needs a gun at a supermarket. Shall we take a moment to give that a cursory glance? [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes bad guys eat, too.
About that Single Issue
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito picked up a National Rifle Association endorsement in the race for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, the gun rights group announced Wednesday. [More]Because even though they're spending big bucks to branch out into other issues, guess which one is not included.
Hey, as long as the illusion is being maintained...
DeWine refusal to release shooting video raises conduct and training questions
The appeal was made to DeWine after two Ohio cops were caught “joking” on Facebook about “double-tapping” open carriers. Along with documentation of that claim, examples of actual illegal threats and abuse by police against open carriers were recited, and concerns were expressed that unless rectified, not only were citizens at risk of being wrongfully detained, injured or killed by police, but their departments and the State of Ohio faced real liability.Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report recalls a warning that may have gone unheeded with fatal results.
DeWine’s response was to ignore the request, to make implausible excuses, to wash his hands of the matter, and to show deliberate indifference. [More]
We're the Only Ones Just a Giglio Enough
Just over a week later, the City of Wichita responded to the records request and released the Brady-Giglio information, which indicated 26 members of police staff were on the list. Included were 15 field services personnel, 6 support services personnel and 5 investigations personnel. [More]Hit it, Louis.
And yes, of course I know the difference. Jeez, if I can't play with words on my own blog and listen to some good music at the same time, forget it. Yeah, I said "good music." Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Why Public Health Needs a New Gun Doctrine
You read that correctly. I am a public health professional.VIK KHANNA fires an important return salvo against the agenda "scientists." As such, it's important that you read and share this, and give him some intelligent support against the sadist-psychopath / infiltrator-disruptor trolls who are emerging in "comments," furious at having their state worship challenged by this... this infidel.

A "Progressive" Idea
Cincinnati Parks makes the standard argument on how overpopulation of deer is not good for the forests. We as humans have done so much damage to this earth and every aspect of nature. We are so overpopulated, so is the solution just to kill some of us? We created the problem to begin with and the deer have to pay the price for it? [More]Yep. What did we just get done observing about our proper place in the scheme of things?

In the Tank for "Gun Control"

Friends
GOA files a "friends" brief of its own in "Heller II."Had the district court complied with Heller, it would have found the D.C. registration law in violation of the Second Amendment because the onerous and intrusive registration requirements undermines the primary purposes of the right to keep and bear arms — to resist tyranny and to defend self, family and property. Further, by discriminating among private citizenry and conferring special privileges upon government officials and the wealthy and politically powerful, the D.C. law protects only friends of the government, undermining a right that belongs to all of “the people.” [More]
Hey, these things cost money.
I hear all kinds of complaints against incessant NRA fundraising, and the way SAF goes about it, and we just saw JPFO go through a transition due to lack of funds that has bitterly polarized gun owners, so I'm sure there's a good reason for letting GOA do this on its own without lifting a finger to help.
Besides, we can always just join with our friends and fight a revolution, right?
Why do I suddenly feel like some music would be nice right about now...?

Howe in the Channel was shut up in port, that the news from the E. Indies had been contradicted, that the late revolution in the B. administration had put an end to all discourse about peace, that Mr. Adams was at the Hague and had never been to Paris.

Ocala may be violating own ordinance and 9/11 memories with flag takedown order
Absent from The Blaze report is the name and title of the martinet issuing “official” orders and threats, demanding obedience under penalty of confiscating property, and burdens on the productive sector be damned. My guess is, whoever is throwing their weight around is probably an indignant "progressive," one so historically ignorant they think the flag is a Tea Party symbol, hoping to scare Greenberg into quiet compliance. Hopefully, when this story is fully vetted, the identity of the wannabe brownshirt will be revealed so that he or she can be properly recognized and communicated with, assuming nobody in the city will actually have the guts to fire a useless, tax-sucking bully.

I’m very sorry to hear you disagree with our policy. Within our company, we strive to create Panera Warmth, which means, among other things, creating bakery-cafe environments where customers and associates feel comfortable.

Foley Up 6 Points In Connecticut Governor's Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Voters Say Republican Is Better On Economy, Spending [More]Now just hold the damn phone a minute here. The guy is hardly perfect on guns. Didn't I just get done throwing a flag on a state gun group for endorsing compromised candidates? What am I, some kind of damn hypocrite,?
No, because Foley is hardly being presented as a 2A champion. The object many of my friends in Connecticut are working toward is the defeat of Malloy. They understand that will hardly put them in any catbird seat -- although Foley getting to meet with them, and seeing the unfair way the blossoming relationship is being portrayed in the press will no doubt give him plenty of comparative object lessons. Plus, if he does win, he'll have seen firsthand that aroused gun owners are capable of providing the critical margin necessary to bring a betraying politician down.
Still, isn't there a better candidate on guns?
You bet.
And that creates an indisputable dilemma for Connecticut gun owners, who need to ask themselves if every gun rights advocate in the state gave it their all, what numbers could they realistically generate, and what would the likely outcome be?

Panera Bread armed robberies show futility of corporate anti-gun policies
Trying to find source material on Panera Bread and guns, I came across a news report that pretty much makes every point I could hope to: a video about an armed robber who fired shots in – you guessed it – a Panera Bread outlet ... There’s no obvious date on the story, but an apparently related one from August, 2013 said a Panera Bread store manager and her boyfriend were charged. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner offering asks who will protect us from Panera Bread management?

What have they done? I've seen some marginal movement, but no real fundamental seismic shifts, no real bully pulpit leadership and championing... if that's the best we can expect, say so. We can take it.
What have they done to atone for their pasts? Is the only reason Kasich no longer supports an "assault weapons" ban because it's "not effective"? When did "principled statesman" Dewine apologize for and recant his Brady endorsement?
Their calculations aren't purely based on what's political expedient, are they? Is there any way to tell?
What have they not done? Two-face is still cheesing out on protections for gun owners against thug "Only Ones" that would take practically no effort and are totally within his control.
This makes the entire nebulous endorsement suspect. How about if you're going to encourage gun owners to donate and volunteer, you flesh out the details?
This is worse than buying a car sight-unseen based on how it's described in the ad. You can get rid of a bad car on your own. It comes off like Fairfaxspeak.
We're all grownups here, and we have to be the ones who are candid and sincere. If you have a flawed candidate but he's the best you think we can get, make your case.

Feeding Off Bloomberg
Anyway, if the guy wants to spend his money where I get page view compensation and help my voice be heard, that's fine with me.
Celebrating Freedom?
This video is making the rounds and choking viewers up with patriotic pride. [Watch]
Too bad what these guys are upholding and defending evidently ain't really all that important to the heartstring-tuggers.

How About We Stop Bad Apple Gun Grabbers Instead?
The “Stop Bad Apple Gun Dealers” Campaign also features a Code of Conduct that Brady activists will demand that gun dealers across the nation follow. [More]Let me guess: Rule One is "Don't sell guns in the first place."
And ain't Rule Six a kicker?
Like I observed last week, they want FFLs to be held liable for not being able to read minds.
Figures Snuffy's part of this extortion racket.
Any FFL who signs one of these is asking for an instant and irrevocable boycott.

We're the Only Ones Burgeoning Enough
Look at what happens more and more frequently at routine traffic stops. My mother-in-law (who is in her eighties) was recently pulled over for a routine traffic stop here in Montana. (She must have been pulled over for driving too SLOW.) Two officers came out of the police car, and one of them was actually pointing his pistol at her head. Her vehicle was not suspected of having been part of a felony. They ran her plates. They knew who she was. To point a gun at a harmless, innocent senior citizen--who is suspected of no violent crime--is the mark of a burgeoning Police State. [More]"Burgeoning"?

Great job there, "Andy Cordan, Reporter"!Except you forgot to call the homeowner a "vigilante."
If They're Not Doing Anything Wrong...
The borough council wants to ban people from taking photographs and videos inside public buildings, with certain exclusions. The ordinance comes at the heels of an incident earlier this month in which Richard Recine, working part time as a special police officer, was captured on video at the borough's Municipal Building telling Steve Wronko that "Obama has decimated the friggin' Constitution, so I don't give a damn," after Wronko insisted he has a constitutional right to take pictures inside the building.

We're the Only Ones Liberating Enough
“All of our home towns are sitting on a tax-liberating gold mine,” Deputy Ron Hain of Kane County, Ill., wrote in a self-published book under a pseudonym. Hain is a marketing specialist for Desert Snow, a leading interdiction training firm based in Guthrie, Okla., whose founders also created Black Asphalt. [More]You don't say...

Mütters Demand Action
Lies and Damned Lies
If you want to give a good account of a debate about gun statistics, you don't treat the consensus of "public health researchers" as gospel. The field is notorious for its anti-gun bias, and there's a whole literature of work outside of it. [More]I'm still waiting for one of the professional agenda "science" liars who say that "more guns" is the issue to compare the firearms homicide rate and numbers in Piers Morgan Paradise with those by the 5 million members of the NRA.

"I Am a Racist"
MSNBC poll provides opportunity to demonstrate grassroots vs. Astroturf
I propose doing three things, none of which should take but a few seconds. First, take the poll. We can bury the antis. Let’s do. Second, send Kroger a comment thanking them for their stance, telling them how you voted and encouraging them to keep an eye on the numbers, instead of on the billboards. Third, spread the word and get your gun owner friends to follow suit. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report is also today's Five-Minute Activism project.
Twofer
What do you think? Would you buy one of these guns? [More]No, I would not.
For me, anyway, it's a matter of conditioned expectation/safety.
I also don't trust ATF not to rain on everybody's parade.

This Day in History: September 8
The present mode of encampment, tho’ extremely ornamental and convenient, may, without the utmost care subject us to the loss of our tents by fire—the Boughs of which the Colonade is composed being so very dry, that a spark of fire or a candle falling among them would not fail to set them instantly in a blaze. The Commander in chief therefore recomends the gratest circumspection to the officers in their Marques and tents, and directs the officers of police to see that the soldiers do not make use of fire or Candles carelessly in theirs.

Tonight on Armed American Radio
Lee Williams, "The Gun Writer" for the Sarasota Herald Tribune, will be joining the program in Hour Two. I'm told Bebe Noyes, "Machine Gun Bebe," may also be calling in.
Hour Three will be another Alan Korwin Experience.
Should be another fun and informative show. I hope you can join us.

Migrant politician Torres reflects shape of things to come for gun owners
Per Project VoteSmart documentation of her voting record on guns, Torres voted to prohibit semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazine, to expand the list of crimes that disqualify individuals from firearms ownership, to prohibit lead ammunition for hunting, to prohibit open carry, and to expand firearms registration, among other bills considered in the California Senate. And there is no reason to believe this “‘symbol of leadership’ for migrants” won’t do the same thing at the national level. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a trend that, unless reversed, will bring gun owners closer to having all legal means of recourse shut off to them.
Wisconsin Virtual Learning shows virtual insanity on guns
I've observed before, this is nothing short of child abuse under color of authority. It’s also an insidious form of cultural brainwashing, where references to that which the founders deemed “necessary to the security of a free State” are erased from the collective memory. It’s mass purging, not all that dissimilar to a practice perfected by the murderous tyrant Stalin, as illustrated in “The Commissar Vanishes,” and which Orwell chillingly elaborated on with his description of “unpersons.” [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes if "progressive educators" have their way, the Second Amendment will become an “unright,” vanished from the history books.
