Still Anonymous
Gun used in San Francisco pier shooting confirmed to be stolen federal agent’s ... The unnamed federal agent reported the weapon stolen after someone broke into his personal vehicle and stole a bag with his service weapon inside... [More]Why is he still unnamed? Especially after reading:
The gun turned out to belong to a Bureau of Land Management officer who reported it stolen after leaving it in the front of his vehicle.My original concerns stand:
It’s not like there’s no legitimate public interest in identifying the agent or ranger (depending on the story you read). Who is this person, what were the circumstances that led to a gun being left in his/her car and stolen, and are there any prior indicators in this individual’s employment record? Oversight seems especially relevant in an anti-gun town like San Francisco, where aside from a handful of connected elites, traveling around the “sanctuary” with a gun is the exclusive province of “Only Ones” ... Do you doubt, had a gun been stolen from your car and then used in a murder, that not only would your name be widely spread (and smeared by gleeful antis painting you as a typical, irresponsible ammosexual), but that you’d be lucky to escape serious criminal charges, and crippling civil ones as well?The media, which has no interest in being a government watchdog on gun issues, is not going to do its job and find this out for us. That means if there's any chance, it's dependent on pressure coming from somewhere else -- like me and maybe you.

Christie’s Bullying Tirade Deflects from Having to Answer Tough Questions on Guns
Pointing out bills he did not support does not tell us what he does favor. Likewise, dismissing a 1995 campaign ad by asking if his questioner had not changed his mind in 20 years does not answer what Christie changed his mind to. What he avoided with all the skill of a seasoned political animal, was explaining – unequivocally — where he stood on the right to keep and bear arms and how he has shown leadership promoting the Bill of Rights. [More]Want to see what a bully does when confronted? He hides and hopes no one notices. Want to prove that for yourself? Send Christie some questions and watch him ignore them.
Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts!
The "pro-gun" position is strengthening NICS? So we should be arguing prior restraint as a legitimate power for those whose only clear instruction on the matter is "shall not be infringed"? [Watch]
Dershowitz and his ilk want it all. Giving them anything is equivalent to throwing a scrap of flesh to circling jackals on the assumption they'll leave you alone.
Some of us aren't backing down from "Repeal existing Intolerable Acts."
And until that happens, defy them.
Pay Day at the Department of Pre-Crime
Paying -- do we call them "juveniles" or "teens" these days? -- not to commit violent crimes ... you can't make this stuff up. [More]

But they further modeled their approach on a program "evolved" from Ceasefire? Good one!
Me, I think the sidelined (read "not caught") gangbangers ought to organize and demand a raise. With Opposite Day "progressivism" in play, that would mean they'd go back to "work" until their demands were met.
By the way, thanks for the crime "statistics," Devone. Citing you as the source will be most helpful. Just one question: Noting "The city gave ONS $1.2 million for its operating budget last year," what's your cut of the take?

Another State Backs Down After ‘I Will Not Comply’ Uproar
“[I]f you ignore the telephone blitz you are currently experiencing, it will be my honor and my pleasure to lead ‘I Will Not Comply’ armed civil disobedience actions numbering (at least) in the hundreds of participants at every Alabama Welcome Center in the state, as well as in front of your headquarters,” Vanderboegh told Cooper after outlining some of the actions he’s led defying edicts in other states. “So, I hope you save us the trouble and reverse this dangerous and deadly policy.” [More]Defiant resolve works. More "moderate" gun advocates would do well to remember that before condemning the actively disobedient as "extremists." Pandering to the media in an attempt to appear "reasonable" won't keep the antis from sticking that label on them at the first opportunity.

Besides, putting all the focus on the "bad" ones will lull anyone shallow enough to fall for this fraud's con into staying oblivious until awareness doesn't matter any more.
Good thing this will have no impact on that "single issue."

Lot of times, it's the husband who had hunted 30 years ago, hasn't really done anything since then, and the wife has never fired a handgun or firearm of any type.

I'll bet if you polled them, they'd think "universal background checks" was a pretty good idea, and they'd wonder why anyone needed an "assault weapon."

Negligent Discharge at Recruiting Center Shows Good Intentions Not Enough
Serious business is at hand, that requires alertness and attention along with seriousness and maturity. If someone shows up and is resistant to that, you don’t need him.

Reprioritizing Tony
After multiple requests for comment were ignored, Yellowhammer was contacted Wednesday by ALDOT spokesperson Tony Harris, who said readdressing the policy is not currently a priority for the agency, although he acknowledged they had received some public opposition to the gun free zones.
“We don’t want this to be a distraction for us,” said Harris. “You can probably imagine we have a lot of issues we deal with day in and day out.” [More]Their media guy never called me back. No surprise -- you can kind of tell when they're hiding. Guess he didn't want to be distracted.
I guess Tony here can't imagine this isn't going away, and it's going to get a lot more visible and vocal.

When in Rome
Muslims are forbidden by their religious law, Shariah, from paying interest on loans so they must be offered loans structured in such a way that interest is not part of the package. [More]Naturally, the money-worshipers are tripping all over themselves to accommodate, which accounts for this:
The Obama administration, with the full support of Congress, is following an immigration policy that allows at least 100,000 Muslims into the country every year, according to U.S. Census data.But don't worry, recognizing the Founders told us what was necessary to the security of a free state, our diversity through all this immigration leading to a pathway to citizenship can only make us stronger, right?
Well... not exactly:

No other description is possible but that these are the actions of armed, violent criminals, who deserve to be dealt with accordingly.
The thing is, proprietors and patrons, for the most part -- with some notable exceptions -- probably consider themselves "progressive."

If I Truly Believe
This comment was left on Facebook under a post promoting my latest Oath Keepers column. I just don't have time for detailed one-on-one exchanges, but I feel like addressing points publicly raised, so I'm including my response here:
As for repelling invasions, that's a non sequitur in terms of the article I'm inviting a discussion on. The Chattanooga killer was a naturalized citizen, welcomed into this country, all done "lawfully" in accordance with policies instituted by Congress, the very people tasked by the Constitution "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
The Republican establishment is as much behind the "invasion" as the Democrats. I can neither envision nor expect they will be motivated to totally reverse their immigration stance and then perform a duty they have institutionally ignored without a compelling "or else," especially with the powerful twin incentives of cheap labor and votes their masters are whipping them with. Lord knows the few of us raising the "pathway to citizenship" warnings aren't getting any help from the vast "single issue" majority.
As for my screaming at the top of my lungs to make anything happen, I could only wish I had that kind of political juice. The fact of the matter is, I can barely persuade a handful of readers to share links now and then, or to send an email. The minute I bring up donating a dollar or two to worthy causes, support drops exponentially. "Profiles in apathy" is another recurring theme I've addressed over the years without making much progress at inspiring change.
I don't have high hopes that most gun owners would willingly submit to the rigors and enforceable discipline of well-regulated militia duties and endure long term risks, hardships and sacrifices. History would seem to bear that out even in revolutionary times. Hamilton even addressed continued militia service in Federalist No. 29, when he acknowledged "Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped."
As for Yamamoto's "rifle behind every blade of grass," sorry, but I advocate against repeating and propagating unsourced quotes. And as for questioning my sincerity ("if you truly believe/are you one who truly wants...?"), if my challenger truly believes that, his time would be better spent where such doubts don't come up.
There's always going to be people who think I need to do this or that, or say something differently, or emphasize something else. If I do what one person wants, someone else will think I should have made a different choice.
There's nothing stopping anyone who's dissatisfied with that from doing things their way.
David Codrea I have read your article on the Chattanooga Shooting and Jihad. If you truly believe what you wrote then I must ask you why you are not screaming at the top of your lungs that we must revitalize that specific power "To repel Invasions"? The Constitution is clear in this; Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15, along with the hundreds of corresponding state statutes that originally gave force to that authority. As Adm. Yamamoto warned the Japanese command that they could not invade the US because, "There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass". Imaging the benefit to society in general. We have now approximately 750,000 so-called law enforcement that is in no way capable of curtailing crime or the build up of gangs. With a revitalized Militia, we would have every able bodied person who has regular duty armed at all times. Crime on the streets and in the halls of the legislatures would diminish, and we certainly would not have millions of illegal aliens roaming our streets. Are you one who truly wants to keep the US free, and safe?First of all, I've been beating that drum for many years. From an article I wrote about George Bush appointing an anti-gun Homeland Security Czar after 9/11:
Promote and utilize, rather than prosecute, armed citizen volunteers training and acting in concert for homeland defense, that is, provide leadership to restore the Constitutional militia.I can come up with all kinds of examples from before and after that, but then again, so can anyone with a burning desire to see them, a search engine, and more spare time than I do on their hands.
As for repelling invasions, that's a non sequitur in terms of the article I'm inviting a discussion on. The Chattanooga killer was a naturalized citizen, welcomed into this country, all done "lawfully" in accordance with policies instituted by Congress, the very people tasked by the Constitution "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

L'état, C'est Moi

Captain's Log
- We're the Only Ones Lee Paiging Enough: "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch" evidently fails to sink in.
- A Loser Strategy: I consider the source.
- An Exercise in Futility: Pathetic, that a national petition limits itself to 200 online sign-ups, and even with that is less than half the way there.
- Notes: Kurt, me, Mike 'n more. And sorry about that oversight, which I've fixed.

The Day That Got Away
I owe feedback to several of you. It'll have to wait. I just returned from spending all day at the hospital after dealing with a family medical emergency, which thankfully, appears resolved. It's too late in the afternoon to begin my work day, and I'm beat anyway, or at least in no mood, so I'm not even going to try.

SF Sheriff Highlights ‘Only Ones’ Hypocrisy
Mirkarimi appears to fit that description. Initial charges of domestic violence were plea-bargained down to false imprisonment, allowing him to keep his gun. Not that he wants non-LEOs to keep and bear theirs. Hey, as long as he’s taken care of, why would the pesky Second Amendment and a ceremonial oath to the Constitution get in the way of an agenda? [More]My latest Oath Keepers offering notes a "progressive" set of rules, which in typical Opposite Day fashion means elite officials get special benefits for things they'd destroy us commoners over.
Daily Defense
I'll be joining host Mark Walters at 4 Eastern this afternoon to do some freewheeling discussion of the gun issues of the day. This should be fun, because I have no idea what he's even going to bring up.

Media Attention is the Real Story Behind Toy Gun ‘Buyback’
But the real story is all the media attention given to what was pretty much a nothing event. Naturally, the major local TV stations all covered it. [More]My latest TTAG offering notes "Authorized Journalists" act like the news is what they tell us it is.

Oathkeeping Cop Dresses Down Security Guard for Harassing Citizens on July 4: “I Swore an Oath to the Constitution, Don’t Mess With It. Understand?” [More]Let's hope his "superiors" don't see fit to make an example out of him.
