The Courant and other outlets have so far not seen fit to publish the photos. Neither has this column, copied on that email, as evidenced by the screenshot accompanying this article. While my motives are based on not wanting to cause personal destruction to someone who should and could be an ally in advancing the right to keep and bear arms, there can be little doubt many of the media outlets, which wouldn't hesitate to run such photos of a non-“progressive” candidate were this a two-man race, feel little inclination to buck a strategy of the man they do back.

A Review of ATF’s Investigation of Jean Baptiste Kingery
I was just forwarded this link. [More]
I can't get it to bring up anything but blank gray pages. Perhaps it is my browser settings and you will have better luck.
Alternatively, I can see it just fine using Google cache. It's heavily redacted, but it does lead to a question I've never seen officially asked, let alone answered:
How is it ATF didn't violate ITAR arms export prohibitions?
Remember, U.S. Code also includes provisions for “principals” who “induce” or “willfully cause” offenses, so presumably those who did not physically walk guns but nonetheless induced lawbreaking could be in for a world of hurt if caught.
We're to believe ATF Phoenix was essentially a "lone wolf" operation, independent of all the other agencies that normally are integral parts of international operations? State never knew nothin' 'bout birthin' no transfers?
And neither did these folks?

A Moving Story
GUN BAN HEARING LOCATION MOVED
10.29.14
We have learned that the City of Corvallis has changed the location of its hearing on a proposed ban on loaded firearms in the city to the Majestic Theater. The hearing is scheduled for Nov 3rd at 5.30 PM. The theater is at 115 SW 2nd Ave in downtown Corvallis.
It's imperative that Second Amendment supporters be at this hearing. If this ordinance is passed it will be one more nail in the coffin of our rights and these bans will spread across the state.
Please do all you can to be at this hearing and speak out for gun rights and the Constitution.

Fast Track to Tyranny
Still, though, if cops can be forced to adopt this technology, laws mandating it for the rest of us are possible, too, and some will no doubt see that as a brilliant idea, with the government now given the capability of real time tracking of all privately owned guns so equipped.

We're the Only Ones Spicing Up Our Lives Enough
We Hate to Say We Told You So
But they did.
GRNC just sent out an open letter in re the armed robbery at the "No Guns" state fair to the mudhead responsible for giving criminals the advantage:
I'd have begun my letter "Dear Sexy Tractor Man," with all the ridicule that invites.
GRNC just sent out an open letter in re the armed robbery at the "No Guns" state fair to the mudhead responsible for giving criminals the advantage:
An open letter to North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler
Dear Commissioner Troxler:
So much has happened since last we spoke. Since then, as we both know, an activist judge sanctioned your willful misinterpretation of N.C.G.S. 14-415.23, allowing you to prohibited lawful concealed carry at the state fair.
When concealed carry at the fair was under debate, GRNC pointed out that ostensibly “gun free” zones actually attract sociopaths and criminals who know potential victims are disarmed. Indeed, of mass shootings in the United States since 1958, all but two have taken place in “victim disarmament zones.”
At a highly publicized press conference, you responded that you would have more than two hundred armed law enforcement officers inside the fair, to which we noted that your prohibition would still leave concealed handgun permit-holders defenseless in parking areas surrounding the fairground.
When your security chief, Joel Keith, was asked at yet another press conference whether disarmed fair-goers could receive armed escorts to their vehicles, he responded in the affirmative. Unfortunately, that promise was carried out only reluctantly, and only when people demanded it. Worse, the metal detectors you promised for fair entrances were used only sporadically, as numerous fairgoers have reported.
Sometimes, I hate to be right: Three of the people you purported to protect were robbed at gun point. That’s right, Commissioner Troxler; in case you haven’t heard, here is an early account from WTVD:
“Raleigh police are looking for two armed men who robbed three people at gunpoint late Saturday night near the North Carolina State University Club.
“Police say the victims were robbed around 11:35 p.m. as they were walking back to their vehicles on Hillsborough Street after leaving the North Carolina State Fair. Fortunately, no one was injured.
“The suspects drove off in a tan or cream-colored Lincoln. They're described as two black males, one wearing a gray-hooded sweatshirt, one wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and each armed with handguns.” [Emphasis added]
Where were your law enforcement officers when these innocent people were victimized, Commissioner Troxler? What if the criminals hadn’t just robbed them, but murdered them as well? One of the suspects is in custody but, of course, that would be far too late to help the victims.
Consider that by holding press conferences and announcing to the world that fair-goers would be disarmed, you also declared open season on them by informing violent predators that their victims would be defenseless. Indeed, you and Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens should count yourselves fortunate that nobody was killed.
Even before our involvement, word of your failure to follow through on protecting the fair-goers you disarmed is spreading throughout the gun rights community nationwide. Perhaps you should convene another press conference … this time, to issue an apology.
Respectfully,
F. Paul Valone
President, Grass Roots North Carolina
P.S. I note from USA Today that the fair’s attendance was down nearly 20% from its peak in 2010. Could it be that gun owners decided to stay home?
Paul's a lot nicer than me.I'd have begun my letter "Dear Sexy Tractor Man," with all the ridicule that invites.

‘Armed American Radio’ premieres ‘Hickenlooper Blues’
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes perhaps it will be Hickenlooper, instead of his gun owner constituents, who ends up singing the blues.With outside moneyed interests like Michael Bloomberg’s deceptively-named “Everytown” doing everything they can to protect their political interests from gun voter retaliation at the polls, particularly after the ouster of two anti-gun politicians and the resignation of another to avoid being recalled, a convenient and fun tool now exists to help roll back the Astroturf. “Hickenlooper Blues” produced by grassroots activists at no cost and without authorization or participation by any candidate or political committee, throws radical Saul Alinsky’s “Rule 5” ridicule right back in the faces of so-called “progressives.” [More]

DOJ and ATF appealing ‘No Angel’ Dobyns' court settlement order
With yesterday’s appeal notice, a new and expensive legal battle for Dobyns begins, just when he thought he was ready to put this chapter behind him and move on. The government has virtually unlimited tax-funded resources to drag matters on in the courts, making the ability of a private citizen to sustain his claims prohibitive for most. For his part, Dobyns pledges not to quit. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes if you're the administration and you can't win in court, just outspend your opponent until he's drained. After all, it's not your money at risk.
Can everybody say "Economic Waco"?
