Now, more than ever, we need your help in defense of the right to bear arms and the right to defense of life, liberty, and property. We simply can't do our work without your financial support. [More]If you're a Florida gun owner, why wouldn't you help? I just don't get people who enjoy the benefits of hard work by others and do nothing to support them. Seems to me, they belong on "the other side."
A judge of this Court having made a sua sponte call for a vote on whether this case should be reheard en banc, the parties shall file, within 21 days from the date of this order, simultaneous briefs setting forth their respective positions on whether this case should be reheard en banc. [More]Oh, and look:
This sort of “sua sponte” call for rehearing en banc, even without a petition, is a pretty well-settled procedure, though not one that’s often used.It's used a hell of a lot more by black-robed judicial Nazgul than "shall not be infringed," that's for damn sure...
The House of Representatives took its first action protesting President Obama’s executive action on immigration. The bill, which was called “purely symbolic” by critics, is unlikely to be considered by the Democrat-controlled Senate. [More]But what can they do?
"I believe we will remain in charge of the technology for a decently long time and the potential of it to solve many of the world problems will be realised," said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot. [More]Ain't it something, Rollo? You believe.
Davis added that she supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms.Right. That's why she's against it.
Further explaining he and the seller are not exempt from background check requirements, the physical transfer of a “Glock Model 22” for “a wad of cash” is then completed. What’s not clear is if there is anything authorities can do about it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a great tool for exposing Bloomberg "background check" ballot measures for the total scams that they are, that will all utterly fail at keeping their fraudulent core promise.
“The immigration system is broken, but this is an issue that should be addressed through collaborative federal action, not unilateral action by the president.” [More]Hey, no fair! I want to help sell out the Republic, too...
In 2012, Slate.com crunched numbers from a variety of manufacturers, as well as federal statistics on background checks, and extrapolated that nearly 3.3 million AR-15s were in the country. But that was before Newtown and calls for bans, which drove sales through the roof. In congressional testimony last year, the National Shooting Sports Foundation estimated assault-style weapons domestically in the range of five million-8.2 million. [More]"In common use at the time," baby.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe. [Watch and Read]Well, jeez, being accused of selling unlicensed cigarettes, why the surprise?
“To assert that the property owners of Ferguson do not have the right to invite the Oath Keepers to assist them would be tantamount to telling an individual that they do not have the right to assist a neighbor in need. Additionally the property owners and Oath Keepers have numerous other Rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution including the right to freely assemble which may not be restricted by any County Ordinance or State Statute.” [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes an order that will not be obeyed.
What is clear is the promise of a reward and the guarantee that the person receiving it will not have to provide their name lends itself to the potential for abuse. Not only could gangland competitors be effectively removed, an opportunistic criminal could reap rewards for phoning such a calculated tip in, including the possibility of exploiting unsuspecting police to permanently eliminate reported rivals. Also unstated is what safeguards are in place to ensure rogue law enforcement officers don’t themselves create a tip to do an end run around Fourth Amendment protections, artificially establishing phony “probable cause” opportunities for stops, searches and seizures that would otherwise not present themselves. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes nothing quite creates more opportunities to say "he went for his waistband" and set the stage for more Fergusons like Opposite Day "progressives" setting out to reduce minority "gundeaths."
‘I was stupid': Boy apologizes to Cleveland police for having BB gun [More]I evidently have some serious groveling to do myself.
In the meeting, “the lawmakers began coalescing around a two-part plan that would allow a symbolic vote to show their frustration with President Obama’s executive action on immigration, before funding the government ahead of a Dec. 11 deadline,” according to the New York Times. [More]Frustrated? Getting cold feet?
From a consultation with the Secy at War we concluded that it would be fruitless, and therefore unadvisable to solicit either a repayment or sale of powder from the Magazines of the U. States. We were informed by him however that there are in the magazine within Virginia three hundred thirty six barrels of loose powder and seventy of fixed ammunition: that additional supplies will be forwarded as prudence may suggest; that this resource will on all emergencies be open to the State, and to ensure it the more satisfactorily that orders will be given to the Keepers in cases of invasion particularly, to comply with requisitions from the Executive. [More]
The letter to Sec. Miller, signed by Nevadans for State Gun Rights President Don Turner, contained three requests for invalidation. The first noted petitions delivered after the required submission date. The second pointed out the lack of required affidavits for each page of signatures submitted, and that it specified the wrong county. The third showed an example of an affidavit signed and dated before all the signatures appearing on it had been obtained. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some of the sloppiest election rigging money can buy, and not just on the part of Bloomberg's hired signature gatherers.
"After careful consideration of the iP1’s design, we have determined that it does not satisfy the statutory definition (of a smart gun) because, as a matter of design, the pistol may be fired by a person who is not an authorized or recognized user. That is, as long as the pistol is situated within 10 inches of the enabling wristwatch, it may be fired by anyone - the authorized user or any other person who is able to pull the trigger." [More]The antis will never be satisfied anyway, but good. Let's hope they're sputtering in impotent rage.
"No one in this world, so far as I know ... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."The manipulators are counting on it. [More]
All owners of Remington Model 887 shotguns are advised to STOP USING THEIR SHOTGUN(S) IMMEDIATELY. [More]I wonder if we'll see any breathlessly indignant protests from the antis asserting the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields the manufacturer from product defect liability ... and if so, how widespread, furiously sputtering and loud they'll get.
The Secy. of F. Affairs communicated to me a few days ago his determination speedily to resign his office He asked me in the course of conversation whether I thought Mr. Jefferson would prefer the vacancy to his foreign appointment I answered him in the negative. He then asked whether I supposed he wd. accept the commission of Jay at Madrid in case the latter should prefer the secretariship of foreign affairs and be appointed to it. I told him I could not answer that question, but doubted much whether Congress would consent to part with the services of Mr Jay as a negociator of peace. [More]

And there are other groups that happily accept “cooking the books” because doing so fits in with an agenda they support: the media and the gun-grabbers. That way Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” can claim 90 percent of the public and most NRA members support registration and confiscation-enabling “background checks,” when results on a recent Washington State ballot measure show it took a relentless, billionaire-backed media campaign to get the measure to pass with under 60 percent of a perennial blue state’s vote. [More]My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.
This is an idea that’s been floating around for years, but it’s starting to spread a bit more, and goes something like this: If we didn't allow white people to have guns, there would be fewer guns to steal, and thus fewer armed criminals, removing the need to arm police and thus reducing the number of minority “victims” they need to shoot. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report warns bell ringers some not to ask for whom it also tolls.
Firearm exam results obtained from the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office via the state's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) reveal that Mercuro failed the course three times on Aug. 7, scoring below the required 80 percent average on each trial. [More]I'm sorry, I know this isn't fair, but the guy even looks like a clueless dolt in that photo.
Caplan is accused of shooting a 20-year-old woman who was driving on the 610 Loop at Stella Link about two weeks ago. [More]There's gotta be something they can charge her with...
A former state Division of Criminal Investigation supervisor acknowledged last year that he made and sold guns without a license, confirming allegations by a whistleblower who has since been fired. [More]If you and I can do the same thing, I've got no problem with this.
Section 1. Providing Conversion Authority. I find that conditions of good administration (specifically, the need to make the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Department of Justice (ATF), competitive in recruiting high quality special agents by giving the ATF an authority held by other Federal law enforcement agencies) make necessary an exception to the competitive examination rules for appointment to certain positions in the Federal civil service. [More]Yeah, you see, because it's so competitive and they're so exceptional, why make 'em compete? Or something...
A gentleman in whom the Governor places the fullest Confidence gives the following Information respecting the Enemy’s Force on Long Island. [More]
Not that this will make any impression on the LMAO haters reveling in a human death because they suspected she held a different creed or place in the social spectrum than they. How telling that such bigotry and intolerance should emanate from an ideology that represents itself as inclusive and egalitarian.
Opposite Day, remember? [More]My latest JPFO Alert notes the biggest haters of officially disfavored groups are...wait for it... national socialists.
The reason for the injunction was that an environmental impact study for the effects of allowing guns in national parks had not been completed as required by law ... How much more of an impact will the president’s immigration directives have on the environment than the off-chance a person defending their life may (or may not) need to fire off rounds of ammunition that may (or may not) leave traces within national park boundaries? If the law and judicial precedent for halting executive actions on environmental grounds pending an impact study exist, why not employ the same legal tactics as anti-gunners and environmentalcases do, and use them? [More]Today's Gun Right Examiner report notes now that judicial precedent has been established, why not use tactics first pulled by the collectivists to attack freedom against them?
After government warnings that the threat to Britain from Islamist fanatics is ‘greater than ever’, officers handed out leaflets telling the public to ‘run, hide and tell’ if they are caught up in an attack. [More]Provided, I guess, you can run fast enough or hide well enough to live to tell.
Slain Austin shooter likely had anti-government motive [More]What makes it so likely?
The unidentified suspect was described as white male in his 50s with a criminal record.Oh, well then he likely fits the profile of everyone I hang with, so the preliminary narrative-shaping is likely justified...
Barack Obama is not merely the president of the United States. He is also apparently the president of the Meryl Streep fan club, a position he made very clear on Monday afternoon while presenting the Oscar-winning actress with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. [More]
According to an arrest affidavit, Mesa County deputies Joshua Bunch and Donald Love said they feared for their lives even though they saw that the object was yellow. Bunch wrote in the affidavit that he has seen handguns in many shapes and colors. [More]Bunch and bananas? And the guy was from Fruitvale?
One, a 6-foot-8-inches man named Derrick Jordan — “Stretch,” as friends call him — whisked an AR-15 assault rifle out from a pickup truck parked near the entrance. Jordan, 37, was one of four black Ferguson residents who spent Tuesday night planted in front of the store, pistols tucked into their waistbands, waiting to ward off looters or catch shoplifters. Jordan and the others guarding the gas station are all black. The station’s owner is white. [More]As long as brothers from the same and different mothers share an ideology, sharing DNA is irrelevant.
In their own words: Oregon anti gun politicians and activists admit that "universal background checks", "assault weapons" ban, and "gun free zones" won't work! [More from LaughingAtLiberals]
Echoing an attitude shared by many gun enthusiasts, David Codrea, an editor at Guns magazine, cautions that “stupid electronic doodads” could render a firearm useless, would be ignored by criminals and would raise the price of firearms for everyone else. [More]I just became aware of this article from a year ago, but yeah, I said that.
Ross Bransford, a CHL instructor, says he anticipates open carry passing, but wants the law to include doing so with a permit and training. [More]Don't forget to give the doorman a tip for his "service."
“Gun controllers’” recondite but real intent is to render the formation of “well regulated Militia” in the several States exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, by denying the community the collective right to keep and bear the very firearms particularly suitable for service in the Militia, through the denial to individuals of the right to keep and bear such arms—thus stripping the community of the collective ability to defend itself most effectively against usurpers and tyrants. [More]And guess who has been consistently derelict in even addressing this, let alone doing anything about it.
Might there be a reason the founders considered a well regulated militia to be necessary to the security of a free State, leaving the right of the people to keep and bear arms off limits to infringements, so that when a need arose there would be those capable of answering the call? Rather than disparaging and harassing armed Americans, shouldn't dutiful civil authority, upholding the oath to the Constitution that is required of its members, be encouraging them and training with them?
I have no direct Powers from Congress to transact Exchanges, but have taken the Liberty in your Case, to absolve the Parole of Captain Francis Dundas, of the first Regiment, now a Prisoner on Parole in London, on Condition that yours be also fully discharged. [More]
The greasy-lipped masters have to be laughing like hell as they reach across their table of plunder and rip off another drumstick... [More]My annual "Night of the Evil Butterball" Thanksgiving offering...
“Today, I’m taking an action fully within my legal authority,” the president remarked in a seeming mocking dig at critics of his policy of allowing federal law to be flouted and rewarding those who break it. “I know some will call this amnesty, but don’t worry, there’s plenty of turkey to go around.” [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report questions who should feel more disrespected: Americans who oppose imperial decrees and amnesty, or undocumented foreign nationals who were compared as the equivalents of turkeys.
It’s obvious the practice of providing physical addresses of people for whom anger exists can heighten physical dangers. Real risks also exist that persons with the same or similar names could be targeted instead. Likewise, the lives and homes of neighbors of Officer Wilson have now been put at risk by The Times' decision to narrow the hunt for him by those bent on murderous revenge, upping the probabilities for expanded violence and further rage-fueled confrontations with authorities. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes some sauce for the gander, or in deference to tomorrow's holiday, a pair of turkeys.
By Mr. Madison It was proposed that Congress should declare that when ever it sd. appear that the whole of the bills emitted prior to the 18th. of M. 1780 shall have been collected into the Treasuries of the several States, Congress wd. proceed to give such credit for any surplus above the quotas assigned as equity might require, and debit the deficient States accordingly. [More]
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon for the Sirius XM Patriots network, Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker said he does not support amnesty and the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake, who previously reported Walker supports a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal immigrants took him “out of context.” [More]How about the Wasau Daily Herald?
"We would be nowhere without all the PLANistas who fight everyday for reform and will continue to fight until there is a pathway to citizenship for all 11 million. We are ready for this fight." [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a manipulative motivation behind a heartstring-tugging sucker job.
The bill would require a person who, between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2013, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, and who, on or after January 1, 2014, possesses that firearm, to register the firearm by July 1, 2015. [More]Don't make the same mistake I did...
An off-duty Chicago Police officer has been stripped of his arrest powers after he allegedly fired multiple times at an off-duty suburban cop who tried to pull him over after suspecting he was driving drunk, law enforcement sources said Monday. [More]Any non-"Only Ones" think if you'd pulled this, you wouldn't be in either intensive care or the morgue right now?
What did I just get done saying about getting punchy, fellas, and what that can do to someone? Some of you, including those who tolerate, not just those who commit, sure make it tough to call for understanding when it's appropriate.FOX31 Denver has obtained video of a Denver police officer punching an unarmed suspect in the face six times, then moments later, tripping the man’s seven-and-a-half-months pregnant girlfriend. [More]
If you don't believe media bias plays a role in how Americans interpret use of force by law enforcement, try this simple test. Do a Google search for "police officer kills unarmed man." I did and I got 179,000 results. Searching "Police officer shoots unarmed man" returned 205,000 results. Finally, I flipped the search around and typed, "unarmed man attacks police officer." I got this message: "No results found." [More]Make sure you put the terms in quotation marks.
Congress in its entirely was slaughtered, and hung upside-down from lamp posts though, unlike Mussolini, they were not emasculated. It was pretty much agreed that they had taken care of this themselves long ago. [More]He probably meant to say "entirety," but the guy is suffering from a quack-induced eye malady and if a word processor assumes how to complete a word and if the result isn't flagged by spell check, typos happen.
It gives me great pleasure to learn from yourself, that the State over which you preside is tranquil.—Would to God it may ever remain so, and that all others would follow the example. Internal dissentions, and jarrings with our neighbors, are not only productive of mischievous consequences, as it respects ourselves, but has a tendency to lessen our national character, and importance in the eyes of European powers. If any thing can, this will expose us to their intriguing politics, and may shake the Union. [More]
