Most gun rights activists, groups remain silent on amnesty threat to gun rights
Elections are typically won or lost by a few percentage points. Adding millions of new Democrats would not only provide the margins needed to pass new edicts, but recent court gains could be reversed by ensuring confirmation of anti-gun nominees to the federal courts, and by a simple one-vote shift in the makeup of the Supreme Court. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the truth is out there, and it's pretty incredible who is refusing to acknowledge it.

New Jersey Considers Mandatory Gun "Buybacks"

Fabricating Freedom
Wilson’s goal of enabling anyone to privately fabricate an untraceable gun is part of a larger anarchist mission: To show how technology can render the entire notion of government obsolete. He’s spent the last two years developing firearms designed to be printed as easily as ink on a page, neutering attempts at gun control. “This is a way to jab at the bleeding hearts of these total statists,” Wilson says. “It’s about humiliating the power that wants to humiliate you,” he says. [More]Yep. And that must always start out as a do-it-yourself project.

"Not That Bad On Guns"
That's what one California gun activist told me about Jerry Brown over the weekend in Chicago.
I agree.
He's terrible. I guess not sticking the knife in your guts all of the time is what makes him "moderate" to some.
He sucks on due process, too.
What happened in California with the demonic Isla Vista nutjob is that formerly A-rated anti-gunner Bill Brown's guys failed to do a thorough job, even though the "legal" tools already existed to determine the little monster had guns and to take him in for observation.
Questions I still want to see answers for: Was any deference given because of who the kid was? Would the son of someone of lesser means have been carted off for 72 hours of evaluation? Are there records of communications that show what the mother and deputies said to each other, and if anyone else, like the family lawyer, got involved?
Meanwhile, as is typical and not unexpected, everyone who didn't "do it" is being punished.
Me, I want to see what someone victimized by these new powers has to do to get his guns back, and if those options are dependent on access to a personal fortune. I want to see if mental health professionals have a mechanism whereby they can proclaim someone so disabled of now being "safe," and not fear that will leave them personally and professionally liable if they're wrong. I want to see if "family" members who may have other motives, including revenge and greed, are slapped down hard for abusing this.

Border Sleight of Mind
When Ron Zermeno warned of the secret relocation of illegal immigrants, CBP disciplined him. [More]When they stop and harass you at a nowhere-near-the-border checkpoint, just remember that is all for distraction. The real danger, the one that those abrogating your freedom are abetting for evil purposes of their own, is happening out of sight. The intent is for you to never know what's happening until the trick is over, and then not be able to figure out how they did it.
It's basic misdirection and distraction, the reason "magic" shows fool audiences... and since the whole scam depends on performers never revealing their secrets and spoiling the illusion, anyone who gives away act secrets will not be treated kindly.
There's a reason why those who are easily fooled are referred to as rubes, suckers, marks...

Prosecutors fight Reese motion to vacate felony convictions on gun sales
The crux of the government's arguments revolve around testimony of Jose Roman, a member of La Linea, the enforcement arm of the Mexican Juarez cartel trying to save his own skin. As this column reported two years ago, when it noted “Records don’t back witness for the prosecution in Reese gun case,” Roman has been a career criminal since the age of 17, smuggling illegal aliens, guns and drugs, and who has been offered a plea deal in exchange for testimony. Significantly, he also admitted on the witness stand that he had provided false statements while making firearms purchases from the Reese’s gun shop. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes doubts are more than reasonable when the foundation is built on lies by government liars.

Save the Predators
Yet the Associated Press reported that Coronado has a history of direct confrontations, including spending four years in prison after setting fire to a Michigan State University animal research laboratory in 1995. [More]I wonder if that might explain why this convicted felon/prohibited person is against shooting predators...
I'd think a firebug domestic terrorist who thinks it's a good idea to stalk law-observing citizens ought to be wondering at what point people are going to get sick and tired of harassment from lunatics and start stalking back.
I found a website and a Facebook page for Michigan-based Yellowstone Wolf Patrol. What I'm really interested in, especially after noting PETA has funded this mental disorder sufferer, is who is bankrolling him now.

George Zimmerman to break media silence on Armed American Radio
Unknown at this time will be the extent of anticipated reactions by those in the angrily vocal camp against George Zimmerman, notably from personalities like Al Sharpton, and from members of the New Black Panther Party, who in 2012 offered a $10,000 bounty for Zimmerman's capture. It is for reasons of personal safety and security, as well as so the interview does not get disrupted and halted by protesters, that the physical location is being withheld. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report announces an upcoming event that is sure to kindle some flames of hatred, and no doubt protests against even allowing this to happen. Note that, like with another major story we're all familiar with here, it's not the "Authorized Journalists" who earned the trust to get the subject to open up.
