Media Matters GRPC report ignores anti-gun background check deception

That said, here’s where BIDS could prove a very useful tool to expose the antis for what they’re really after: If the “gun safety groups” truly only want background checks, why would they not promote a system like BIDS, which creates none of the potential registration dangers that could be abused to jeopardize gun owners’ freedom?

Thing is, you do support it.  Enforcing it and keeping your masters happy is demonstrably more important to you than your oath. And you will use the full continuum of force to make that happen.

I don't care if the victims of this tyranny are "progressives" -- the principle of not allowing photography from a public road is intolerable, and if it can be done to them, it can be done to you and me.

Besides, look who they're gagging Americans for.  Nice to see Chinese product safety standards are being promoted.  Talk about gagging you!

A Fast and Furious Getaway for Holder?

The bottom line: By the time Holder testified under oath he’d only learned about things weeks before, hundreds of reports had been filed. Vanderboegh and I had our sources talking with Senate staffers by mid-January. The Mexican press had begun reporting on “Gunwalker” by late January. Sharyl Attkisson had begun her series of reports for CBS News featuring whistleblower John Dodson by the third week in February. Also damning for Holder are memos from National Drug Intelligence Center Director Michael Walther, showing the attorney general was apprised of Fast and Furious as early as July, 2010, and a letter sent by Senator Chuck Grassley to then-ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson, dated January 31, 2011 that copied Holder.

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.

"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 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]

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.

You've gotta lay the groundwork and show you tried to resolve things. That should help in the ensuing defamation lawsuit, which one would think would include SPLC. [More]

Lies, Damned Lies and Gun-Grabber Claims

“What we've essentially done is empowered felons to have guns.” [More]
Really?  Here's Amendment 5:
And here's from the "fair ballot language":
This amendment does not prevent the legislature from limiting the rights of certain felons and certain individuals adjudicated as having a mental disorder.
"Editorial boards."  Is it any wonder we love them so?

UPDATE: See Kurt's take in "Police chief sues to overturn will of the voters, make gun rights 'alienable'."

Those Like Her

Is there any doubt what's in store for us if this domestic enemy and those like her "win"? [More]

Seeing as she's Vice Chair of the DNC, and a contributor to CNN, ABC News, Ms and O Magazines, guess who "those like her" are?

Another Death from Gun Violence

Anti-Gun Activist Maria Faisal is Furious.

Good.  Noting the last name and instances in which it occurs on the internet, I have to wonder if she eats pork anyway. [More]

Think about the type of indignant control freak who would react that way to something that is none of her damn business, that is, your typical MILM.

And if you're ever in Port Allen, LA, stop by Bergeron's Restaurant to get your 10% discount.

Give 'em an attaboy here.  And ignore the whiner throwing crossbows into the mix just to be a spoiler. If his Facebook page is any indication, he's a Prozi disruptor.

GRPC Update 3

in spite of air problems and several speakers not making it, the room was almost full, with hundreds of attendees. Halbrook talked about his Nazi gun law book. Lott took on the FBI report and flawed reporting.  Lots of awards given out--even I got one.  I give my talk on Authorized Journalists tomorrow morning.

Will have a complete report, probably Monday.

Will be on Gresham's Gun Talk tomorrow afternoon and AAR with Mark Walters tomorrow night.

Venezuela marks International Day of Peace with Orwellian contradiction

This is the ultimate path those who would impose total citizen defenselessness, like all those monopolies that have gone before, would lead us down. That they couch their scheming under banal terms like “common sense gun safety laws” is no matter, because they’ve let slip their end desires too many times, and too many real world examples exist, to ignore they’re playing a game of incremental gains to a deadly end goal.

My latest JPFO Alert notes "progressives" who would go so far as to establish common sense toilet paper control" confirm how anal and dangerous they are. That and they're a bunch of psychotic as......

GRPC Update 2

Successful opening night, Hundrreds of attendees in spite of air travel issues.  Saw names like Gura, Gresham, Halbrook, Ayoob and plenty more.  Noticed conspicuous absence of many more.  Attended a special meeting afterward I can't talk about yet.

It's late and tomorrow starts early. There will be schedule changes due to some speakers not being able to make it (I heard, but have not confirmed that Lott will make it in tomorrow afternoon).  Here's the agenda pre-airport foul-up.
