Facebook Implements Chinese-Style Censorship/Snitch Policies

Borrowing a tactic from the police state playbook, Facebook’s “No Guns” enforcement will be dependent on an army of citizen snitches.

Nobody thought it was ultimately about just controlling guns, did they...?

Turning Lemons into Lemonade

Under the new Facebook "No gun ads" policy, there’s nothing to stop you from posting a picture and details about a gun you own and inviting inquiries about it. If someone contacts you asking how much you want for it, just tell them Facebook policy prohibits using their platform to solicit gun transfers, but if they’re interested in more information about your gun -- for educational purposes only -- they can contact you via email.

If, after establishing a relationship separate from Facebook, you wish to change your mind and consider selling to the person, do what you’d normally do to make sure you’re not being set up by a stranger. And if it turns out that person was a gun-grabber troll, by that time you ought to have validated enough personal information to release it and “out” them as the punk snitch they are, complete with email address, phone number and more. In any case,you won't have transacted any business in violation of Facebook rules.

As a matter of fact, those of us without guns to sell could still set nets up for gunsnitches to blunder in to, as per this example:

VCDL on the McAwful Reciprocity Deal

#3 - Persons subject to a PERMANENT domestic violence protection order cannot possess firearms until the order expires
* The ONLY permanent protection order this restriction applies to is one for domestic violence and NOTHING else.
* The subject of the protection order must have had his day in court along with any legal counsel. Temporary protection orders do NOT affect possession of firearms.
* If the judge, after hearing the defense, decides to issue a permanent protection order anyhow, the subject of the protection order will lose his gun rights for the duration of the order (MAXIMUM of two years), and automatically get those gun rights back when the permanent protection order expires. Note: a new permanent protection order could potentially be issued when the perament protection order expires if the judge thinks a danger still exists.
* The subject of the permanent protection order will have 24 hours to turn his guns over to a person of his choice, as long as that person can legally possess firearms.
* The above is basically federal law already, and state law already prohibits a person with such a permanent protection order from purchasing or transporting a firearm. [More]

Here's where I'm coming from:

Has the person been convicted of a crime?  Did he have a jury trial where he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

Complete, Unedited Video of Joint FBI and OSP Operation 01/26/2016

Published on Jan 28, 2016This is the complete video footage of a joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. This footage, which has only been edited to blur out aircraft information, was taken by the FBI on 01/26/2016 and released by the FBI on 01/28/2016. Note regarding date/time stamp in the left corner of video: Pilots use Zulu Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), when they fly. Zulu time is eight hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST).

The attack last July on a recruiting office in Tennessee has prompted the Air Force to remind commanders they may authorize qualified airmen to carry weapons on base while off duty and out of uniform. [More]

So they've had this "power" all along, but chose to put human lives in jeopardy instead? And do commanders still have the "may not" option?

Still, ain't it something when compared with what the Marine brass is doing?

Lock N Load

I'll be joining host Bill Frady this evening at 6 Eastern to talk about "smart guns." Those so inclined can listen and chat at the program site, or tune in at Genesis Communications Network (select Channel 5).

The Smugness; the Sanctimony; the Inchoate Contempt

All you’ll ever need to know about liberalism, captured in one perfect, pathetic image: [More]

Yep, that's Slate, alright...

We're the Only Ones 'A Shot in the Dark' Enough

The officer later said firearms training 20 days prior might have been a contributing factor to muscle memory [More]

Yeah, muscle memory ... that's the ticket!

I wonder if the situation were reversed and the victim had used that excuse if he could count on the same outcome:

A statement released by the police said based on the findings of the investigation, no further disciplinary action was taken.

4 Out of 4 Doctors Agree!

John Edeen, MD, Sean D. Brodale, DO, R. B. Young, MD and Timothy Wheeler, MD, all left positive, value-adding comments under my latest.  [More]

Despite it being an open forum, not one of the anti-gun "professionals" I took on has seen fit to engage, probably because they know they'd be further exposed as the agenda frauds they are.

Conflict of Interest,Much?

Lauren Reeder, one of the prosecutors in the Harris County district attorney’s office, revealed last August that she was a member of the board of directors for the Planned Parenthood affiliate that was targeted by Daleiden. [More]

Be nice to have 'the law" be your own personal revenge machine, wouldn't it?

Sounds to me like bar investigations of more than one person in that office are in order...

Armed American Radio Daily Defense

I'll be joining host Mark Walters this afternoon at 4 Eastern to discuss what we talk about in our off-air phone calls, minus the colorful words. Go to the AAR website to listen via live streaming or to find a station near you.

Dispatch from the Front Lines

We have an incredible opportunity this year to show the rest of our nation that Nevada supports gun rights. Our mission: prove the overwhelming opposition for Bloomberg’s Universal Background Check initiative in Nevada with a NO vote in the November election. This is where you, our supporters, come in. I know that each of you are already well versed in this issue; you know the facts and know that this ballot measure is impractical. But there are other Nevadans who are simply misinformed, and are blindly guided by Bloomberg’s army. It’s our duty to present them with the truth. [More]

Not from Nevada?  Hey,if Bloomberg wins there, he'll be moving his offense to your AO soon enough.

Would it be easier to prevent an approaching asteroid hit from far out, where a nudge can deflect it enough to miss, or just ignore even trying and wait until it enters the atmosphere to react?

We're the Only Ones Unjudged Enough

A disagreement over a Douglas County judge’s controversial courtroom ban on guns continues after officers who refused to disarm weren’t called to testify in court. [More]

Cool. Can I refuse to testify using the same grounds?

And what's Judge Gleason prepared to do should someone decide his policy reads like an invitation? Especially since anyone coming in to save him will find themselves subject to later arrest...

It's a Small World After All

They claim the companies colluded to break the law by using temporary H-1B visas to bring in immigrant workers, knowing that Americans would be displaced. [More]

Hey, it's the American way. It's not only cheaper than fixing the problems the establishment has created here, when the long game plays out we'll see the mother of all fundamental transformations.

We're the Only Ones Grading Enough

A new Massachusetts gun permit essay rule has Second Amendment supporters seeing red. Gun owners in the state must now write an essay which will be “graded” for approval by the police chief before a carry permit can be issued. A hefty firearms training price tag up to $1,100 will also be levied against those attempting to exercise their right to bear arms in the city of Lowell. [More]

I can think of some words I'd like to write to Chief Taylor and the Council.
