‘Taken 3’ won’t succeed without gun owner patronage
Neeson’s anti-gun sympathies are hardly surprising, this column noted when his last movie, “A Walk Among the Tombstones” was released. The arming of Jews was omitted from “Schindler’s List,” a movie he won an Oscar for, and as a UN "goodwill ambassador" who rejects the founding principles of a culture he chose to join, he has reportedly been entertaining conversion to Islam. It only stands to reason he approves of French citizen disarmament laws. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why anyone would knowingly give aid and comfort to a sworn enemy -- and what else would you call someone who voluntarily took the citizenship oath and then launched an unprovoked attack on the Bill of Rights?

And this, of course, is the problem of making policy by grief -- you want to sympathize, but then they go and blame/attack everyone and every thing but the person responsible:
"My son went there by himself," his mother said, adding later: "That place should be shut down."Naturally, there's an "Only Ones" exemption for the "alone" rule.
Still, just to be consistent, I suppose she'd demand the same if he'd hanged himself in her garage...?

The Perks of Being an Authorized Journalist
Thursday, October 23, 2014 FBI warns journalists about ISIS...in America The FBI sent this alert out to news organizations and journalists this afternoon... [More]I guess one of the perks is a heads-up about maybe getting kidnapped and having your head sawed off on video. I just learned of this today from a colleague who got the memo when it came out. How they determined who qualified receiving it would be a good thing to determine, especially since, in addition to being #justablogger, I'm actually a "real reporter" with a press card issued from a national media organization and everything -- plus, I know for a fact DOJ knows about me.
They know about this guy, too, but truth be known, there are no doubt some who wouldn't lose any sleep over taking him out themselves.
But that's not the point either. Not that I particularly consider myself a target of any note, and I understand I'd probably have a greater chance of winning at Power Ball (party at my place when I do!), but we all deserve to know about this.
So look at what a search for the title returns.
The fact that I needed to go offsite from FBI.gov to find a transcript, as opposed to being able to find a posted copy with press release on site, would seem to indicate somebody made a conscious decision to play what they perceived to be a threat to human life close to the vest. Who and why?
Maybe it's there-- but it sure isn't easy to find.

Terrorists take advantage of restrictive French gun laws to kill 12
With an administration policy abetting immigration by disparate cultures with incongruous goals, such attacks may be inevitable. If and when one does happen, the probability is that it will occur in an area where private carrying of firearms has not been normalized, and is discouraged or outright prohibited. As for any and all laws in place, the attackers will ignore them, as they always do. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a place that has every law an idiot Mère could demand. So if you were in an office and animals like this stormed in, how would you like your first line of defense to be a "common sense gun safety" advocate, and what do you think the chances are they'd give those "gun bullies" a piece of their mind -- assuming it wasn't already on the wall...
#braklivesmatter
Are you worried they'll call you a racist? They do that already, to people a lot more "liberal" than us "genocidal white devil extremists."
It's not like the names actually hurt or anything. Plus Opposite Day rules are in overdrive with this crowd of true racist loons. Time was, back before real leaders took real risks demanding real dignity, that "black space" being demanded was called "segregation," and it was properly condemned as oppressive and evil.
Notice how this only happens in "tamed" urban environments? I love that, and don't mind seeing lots more. Who knows? Maybe some indoctrinated knee-jerk "progressives" will wake up.

Bloomberg Moms' Foxworthy/Jackson demand unlikely to stop NRA appearances
The problem is, click on the comment poster’s Facebook page and she’s basically a Janis Ian fan. With that thread to pull, it would be interesting to see how many of the MILMs feature either Jackson or Foxworthy on their pages to get a rough gauge of the likely economic toll "progressive" indignation could exact on their careers. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes even a fifth grader knows you don't make threats unless you can back them up, which means being smarter than a Bloomberg chump is child's play.
Debate Settled
Had a discussion going on what constitutes a machine gun over at my post about the guy who rigged cap guns to fire when rotated by a drill.
I was still unconvinced that this would have qualified, so I asked Len Savage. Here's what he had to say:
In US v. Fleischli held that an electronic on-off switch to be a trigger if it is used to initiate a firing sequence....
Red Jacket Firearms registered their drill powered 12 ga version as a post dealer sample.
Under US v. Staples you have to "knowingly possess"....A clever US Attorney could overcome "Knowingly" since the author claims that real guns would work....
Technically speaking, in Akins the ATF claimed the "spring" because it stored energy to initiate a continuous firing sequence to be a "machinegun"....I don't see how a battery does not "store energy" to initiate a firing sequence....through the use of a switch...
By my calculations it fires 6 rounds per revolution, firing for the first 6 revolutions for a total of 36 rounds....
ATF would call it a machinegun if my company sent it in for evaluation...
Now if you rigged 36 revolvers to fire at once, that's NOT a machinegun (heavily regulated) but a volley gun....Which is regulated like any gun you buy from WalMart....(or regulated under the GCA or Gun Control Act)
Go figure???
Logic? You will not find that definition in the NFA meaning of terms. (where the commenter quoted from).So having limited tools myself, if I used some guy's carpentry equipment to make what started this conversation off, would ATF's newest ruling apply?

Because You Asked
Seen at Mike's, in comments:
And then you need to know how to contact candidates directly, something NRA does not see fit to make convenient.
Per Jeff Knox, only around 7% of those eligible to vote do, and they follow in lock-step with what the Nominating Committee recommends. Having tried to change this for years, and seeing how many are unaware or haven't lifted a finger, makes me inclined to say "No, there is no chance."
It also makes me wonder how gun owners who won't even dominate the NRA Board can make good on all that "Molon Labe!" floating around, but that refusal to get involved while things are easy makes it more likely they're going to get exponentially harder.
Mike V, is there any chance of flipping the board of the NRA to a board whose first principle is liberty at all cost? And any ideas on how we do it?I'm not talking to him now, since it sounds from the rest of his comment like he is involved in grassroots activism. This is addressed to those who are not. First you need to be a voting member. Are you? Are you even a member? Then you need to know who to vote for. How do you do that? Well here’s one way, but based on results, nobody cares.

Too late, but here's the prime call list ...* Focused congress call lists like this should've been put together, distributed and posted on web sites weeks ago.

Rush Limbaugh complained as always, but didn't lift a finger to organize an intelligent campaign. His staffers could easily have done it, but he didn't even bother to ask folks to mindlessly "call your representative" (even if your rep is Boehner or Pelosi). None of the conservative groups, Tea Party groups, gun groups or immigration sanity groups lifted a finger to organize and activate. None of the candidates for speaker lifted a finger. None of the 28 who voted against Boehner lifted a finger. And so we lost by four votes.* NAYLocal Zip DC phone Fax Local phone

The Cosmic Prepper
So, let's have a little fun here on Zero Hedge, and use this as a test of your TEOTWAWKI preparedness. Our test scenario is that, like in Lucifer's Hammer, BL86 breaks up into several large meteorites between 100 and 800 meters, and many smaller. Let us say that three of the large ones hit in the ocean closest to you, causing both blast waves and subsequent massive tsunamis up to 100 feet high in all directions, and the other two hit a land mass in your hemisphere, causing massive atmospheric debris, torrential rains, no sun, and global crop failures for one year. Let's start by having everyone answer five questions: 1) Do you really want to live? Then, if you do want to live, and setting aside the fact that luck or fate play a big role in one's individual chance for survival: 2) Are you willing to commit murder and/or steal (the same as murder in many survival situations) in order to survive? 3) Are you going to stay put, or go somewhere? 4) How do you rate your chances of surviving 24 months? 5) What is the number one thing you could do in the next three weeks to dramatically increase your odds of surviving 24 months? [More]
And yeah, if you haven't read "Lucifer's Hammer," you missed a good one and ought to rectify that.

50 Shades of Decay
"I can understand why people say tying a woman up and spanking her is misogynistic. But actually, more men are submissives than women. Very powerful men," Dornan tells the magazine. "It's a far bigger scene than I imagined: in pretty much any city in the world that you could name, people want to get spanked with a paddle with studs on it." [More]How very hip and "progressive." For some reason it reminds me of the Timothy Johnson/David Brock relationship.
It also reminds me of being in a pet store some years back to pick up something for one of the kids' critters, and this really hot blonde dressed from nip to tuck in tight black leather and with spiked heels was buying a spiked collar, and I started laughing to myself, because I'd have bet money it wasn't for a dog.
The Dean of "Pro-Gun Democrats"
He said he was supported by the NRA for many years until he refused to vote on a bill that would allow guns into bars, something he said flew in the face of common sense. “I had friends I grew up with who would forget they had a gun and then they had about six drinks and then they remembered they had one,” he said. “It doesn't make common sense — alcohol and firearms. They say it’s Second Amendment rights, I don’t think that’s what the Second Amendment is about. But they have the right to feel that way.” [More]What can one say but "Good riddance"?

School denying permission for anti-gun PSA raises legal questions
With that being the case, if no one gave Sincic permission to bring a firearm or imitation firearm (as the one in the video may be) onto school property, it's presence becomes a legitimate matter for public and legal inquiry. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report actually agrees with an anti-gunner and encourages everyone who is not a coward to share!

A New York State of Mind
In light of recent developments nationwide since events in Ferguson and agitation from race profiteers began ginning violent anti-police sentiment in urban areas nationwide, it might be prudent to anticipate what it would take to precipitate a nose dive in high-level policing.

Following Dots
Who are the Pasadena embezzlement suspects Danny Wooten, Melody Jenkins, Tyrone Collins? [More]Just on a hunch, I thought I'd try to find out if they're part of the "blame guns" crowd. The connection is tenuous, but led to something I thought had relevance.
The main suspect is "a senior pastor at the New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church in Pomona," and they in turn were part of a larger "Stop the Violence" rally. The link they provided went to a video of the event, where a grieving mother told the reporter "This is my baby. They took her life and it wasn't fair."
This was her baby:
Somehow, relying on "the community coming together" seems a bit inadequate in this case. And I can't help but notice the shooting evidently qualified in the tabulation of "Gun Violence After Newtown" claims.
