While the effort reportedly received a “warm reception” from Ruger...THIS Ruger?
In giving permission of absence to Officers for the recovery of their health, I have supposed the experiment of change of air & diet might be made in a few weeks, as well as in any length of time; I must therefore consider the indulgence given to you for the purpose, as limited to eight weeks from the date hereof, at the expiration of which time, I shall expect you will return to the Army.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber admitted in a televised panel discussion. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.” [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes being used is nothing to be militantly proud about.
Rob Pincus, Neil McCabe, Lee Williams, Alan Gottlieb and David Codrea analyze what actually happened to America on election night 2014!
Police Use Department Wish List When Deciding Which Assets to Seize [More]Does this Lamborghini make our @$$ look big...?
Survey suggests Seattle anti-gunners out of touch with American majority [More]One more proof that Dave Workman is a much nicer person than I will ever be...
Currently, conservatives say congressional Republican leadership is considering breaking the promise Priebus made before the election. [More]The only thing keeping that from happening is they're every bit as personally gutless as they are fraudulent. Which means they need to hear from you about consequences.
We have recd. no intelligence from Europe since my last. I have inclosed to the Govr. a copy of a late letter from Carlton which breathes a much less conciliating spirit than his preceding correspondence. No steps have been taken by Congress as to the Cessions since the acceptance of that of N. York. Asgill is directed to be set at liberty, without any special reason being assigned for it, and Gl Washington instructed to call upon Gl Carlton to fulfil his promise to pursue the guilty. [More]
To those who would “whistle past the graveyard of history,” deny that brutal tyranny could ever happen here, and call talk of armed defense against it unsupportable and even treasonous, where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not naive, willfully blind or fraudulent to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances -- and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes there's only one way to ensure the phrase "Never again" is more than just words.
The real point here is, why is a Bloomberg-listed mayor happily embracing a “gun criminal”? And why is that person part of a “get out the vote” effort, soliciting in an area that overwhelmingly votes for citizen disarmament proponents who demand laws binding on the rest of us? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a controversy that, for the most part, is missing the "point."
Malloy and his anti-American toady Lawlor have just made things utterly simple for us. They have announced that they will be answering the question for us, this "Where to draw the line," with their own tyrannical actions. Like heedless children playing a game they scarcely understand, they have declared their solution in bloody crayon upon the wall. They will draw the line for us. [More]Vanderboegh notes who has determined where it will be drawn.
If the most important gun-rights leader in your life is not the one reading these words — that is, you — it’s time you reconsidered why that is. [More]The Shooters' Log published my midterm election postmortem. And no, I didn't select the photo or its caption.
If Lynch does get the nod, it’s incumbent upon activist gun owners to demand getting some specific answers, and not to be put off by weasel words and “I believe in the Second Amendment” equivocation – hell, even Barack Obama says that, right before showing everyone his big “but.” If we can’t get assurances, the only acceptable course for the Senate to take is to reject her, and for that to happen, we can’t stand still for NRA to cheese out on us like they did with Holder. If Lynch turns out to be just another apparatchik, gun owners must demand, as they have with other nominees like Sotomayor, Kagan and Murthy, that not just the confirmation vote, but also the vote to bring it out of committee and onto the floor, be scored. And this time, the impact actually ought to mean more than a measly half-grade reduction. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a suggested new boss looks suspiciously like the old boss. Hey, who wants to bet if she is put forward and gets some serious opposition that the Prozis will exploit her name to play the race card?
No, all they wanted to do was find out who the idiots were who thought it would be cool to violate U.S. and Mexican laws by allowing illegal arms shipments to be handed off to murderous cartels so that guns could be recovered at violent crime scenes – meaning found lying on the ground after people had been killed – and then used as fodder to demand more citizen disarmament in this country. All they wanted to do is determine who was responsible for authorizing an illegal operation that has, to date, resulted in untold numbers of dead, with more hits yet to come. As for “idiot cronies,” by default those must include justice-seeking family survivors of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes if every day is Opposite Day for "progressives," and if a "progressive" calls you an "idiot," why that must mean... say, wait a minute. That must also mean Holder isn't sincere about his outrage over U.S. guns going to Mexico!
Yesterday Florida Carry's Lead Counsel, Eric Friday, argued Norman v. State before the Florida 4th District court of Appeals. [More]There were high load complications with the live feed, but they now have the video of oral arguments available.
“What kind of a mad prosecutor would try to send this guy up for 20 years?” [More]This kind, apparently.
Police cars that make sure cops don't break the law are coming in 2015 [More]Who thinks for a moment this won't be expanded as a mandate for the rest of us?
At a daily briefing for reporters, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he cannot discuss private correspondence between the president and other world leaders. [More]Well thank goodness it was all private. Allah (blessed be His name) forbid "the most transparent administration in history" would be hiding anything from the public.
We found that a lot of the background regarding this emerging controversy was anonymously posted by ATF insiders on the blogs of gun rights activists Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars and David Codrea of Examiner.com. So my producer and I contacted Vanderboegh and Codrea, who were in direct contact with some of the principal players. [More]Mike notices some honorable mentions in Sharyl Attkisson's new book.
The affirmation of the Malloy administration in Connecticut, especially, says Mr. Vanderboegh, raises new questions about what the returning governor is planning to do about gun owners who fail to register their semiautomatic rifles and large magazines under a new law signed by Governor Malloy last year. [More]With Everytown and NRA each crowing, Mike points out the huge elephant in the room neither one wants to even acknowledge, let alone talk about.
Your Excellency’s Dog-kennel, at Mount Vernon, is as good a Quarter as that I am now in. The season will be soon severe—and every reason that is disagreeable, induces me to desire the Quar. Master Genl may receive Your Excellency’s positive Orders to fix me at Ellison’s, which is upon every account my proper Quarter... [More]
A seven-year-old girl has been injured after a police firearms expert accidentally discharged a gun during a demonstration. Nottinghamshire Police said the girl suffered a "minor injury to her lip" after the terrifying incident at the police headquarters. [More]That's some "expert." And naturally, "the police force only made a public admission after details of the incident leaked out."
Judge Allegra published an order announcing that he has voided his judgement in the case! He is is preparing to announce a schedule for “further proceedings in the matter”. [More]No doubt a result of this.
"An officer said, 'Drop that plate right now -- like I had a weapon,'" Abbott said. [More]Let me guess: He didn't look like he's been missing any meals?
Oregon is now at, or near, the bottom of every major metric with one exception. Oregon leads the country in foreclosures. [More]What, no "We're Number One!" chant?
Former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, a GOP moderate who represented Fairfield County for 21 years in Congress, said the GOP could have taken the gun-control issue off the table by nominating McKinney. "Our party is so hurting," Shays said. "You don't let one group determine who a candidate should be when gun control is a non-existent issue compared to what our state is faced with. We're losing jobs and we're losing wealth." [More]Yeah, right, McKinney. Does this fool think he'd have gotten anywhere near as close as Foley with gun owners sitting out the election?
In spite of the prosecutor asking for five years, Judge Robert C. Brack ruled the family, with no prior criminal record, did not pose a threat and that probation was appropriate. Because the convictions are for felonies rather than misdemeanors, which the family had unsuccessfully moved to vacate, they are now considering their legal options. As convicted felons, they are prohibited from owning firearms by federal law. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes not being kept in a cage hardly makes one free. As an aside, the dick prosecutor going for five years illustrates the malevolent nature of sadists and psychopaths in the Orwellian-named "Department of Justice." If they can, they will crush and destroy you in their relentlessly cruel and brutal drive to advance their careers.
Finally the Seattle press admits that I-594 is ‘gun control’ [More]But...but..but... gun safety!
Being about to make a general disposition for the command of the Army during the Winter and having it now in my power to place a Division of Troops in this Cantonment under your Orders I must request to be informed by you, as soon as possible whether your State of Health will enable you to accept that Command or not. [More]
Malloy lost in Newtown... [More]I can't help but wonder if any Visconti voters abstained after he withdrew.

In January 2011, journalists David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh picked up the Gunwalker story from CleanUpATF.org. They began to investigate and report their findings as well as precipitate a Senate Judiciary Committee inquiry into the matter led by U.S. Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA). Codrea and Vanderboegh have zealously attempted to publicize the issue ever since. Their hard work finally paid off when Fox News started to report the story and CBS began a full length investigation. [More]Well-intended statements from readers notwithstanding, recognition outside of a tiny pond is important for many reasons.
Mike Weisser is my favorite gun dealer. [More]And why is Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist Joe Nocera, who never misses an opportunity to try to drive in a divide-and-conquer wedge, so enamored? Did he buy one of those "40,000 guns" his new-found hero has put "on the street"? (Say, I wonder if any of those have been "traced"?)
I asked Weisser how his business has been. He told me that he stopped selling guns at retail earlier this year.So Joe's favorite gun dealer is one who doesn't sell guns. There's an opening for Gomer if I ever heard one.

One direction the continued investigation could go that has thus far escaped close scrutiny, at least in the media, may be indicated by redactions previously initiated by State. What level of involvement that department had should be of significant interest, as it has authority over international arms exports. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes -- while the election eve document dump is significant in its own right for minimizing public attention -- a bigger story may be hidden in DOJ's admission that State had a hand in withholding "Gunwalker" information -- and that hand bears Hillary's fingerprints.
We are told by a letter from Mr. Carmichael that the firmness of the Answers of the States to the Overtures of the British Court (through S’r Guy Careleton and admiral Digby) has had a very good effect, and has even met with the personal applause of the King of Spain, and that the Opinion of the foreign Ministers at that Court is that the Wisest thing Great Britain can do is to Conclude a treaty acknowledging the Independence of America.
