Today's Five-Minute Activism Project
Spread the word to contact the hotel (info at link) and thank them for hosting this important annual freedom conference.
Here's the way I chose to do it. It couldn't be easier.
Battleground
New Quinnipiac University polls out Thursday show close races in the four largest, most consequential swing states on the 2016 map — but also give Hillary Clinton an edge in two of the four, confirming her Electoral College advantage. [More]Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Moskovitz said he and his wife, Cari Tuna, are giving half of their $20 million to the League of Conservation Voters and to the For Our Future political action committee. The latter group is a get-out-the-vote effort in battleground states that is paid for primarily by labor unions and hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer. [More]What's wrong with this picture?
Hey, at least the union bosses will get fatter while their members lose out to offshore moves and cheap foreign imports.

ATF Expands Snitch ‘Service’ with Anonymous App
Even they can’t track who we are, ATF pledges, and therein lies another danger (feature?) of anonymous snitch programs. [More]Gosh, who could have foreseen unintended consequences and opportunities for abuse from a government system designed to attract snitches?

More than a dozen gun control supporters took part in a protest on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. [More]Damn -- with support like that, where do I go to give up?

Obama Nomination of Qureshi to DC Court to Test Senate Republicans
To those who say what a nominee strongly believes shouldn’t matter, such attitudes typically come from secular viewpoints, or from those who haven’t thought things through completely and with consistency. Or from those with an agenda. [More]It's a big club and you ain't in it. So if the Article VI prohibition against religious tests renders the Muslim point moot, what else could the Senate be looking at?
And Best of All, No Questions Asked
I don't imagine one would be too hard to build at all, and for only a few dollars to buy some pipe and stuff. [More]
You wouldn't even have to (or probably want to) fire it as long as it fit the definition of a firearm. The point here is bang for the buck (with care to make sure you don't get popped on some state infringement).

Speaking of SPLC's 'Hate Watch'
While over there grabbing a link for my last post, I saw they just couldn't resist one last attack on Phyllis Schlafly, and a repetition of their trademark lie that proponents of the Constitution are "anti-government." [More]
If you want to see true hate, look at some of the comments from the sick f***s rejoicing in her death. This one in particular caught my eye, captured in a screenshot in case it's removed:
He says he wants to recruit people to join him in bombing her funeral procession? If the Eagle Forum site allowed such a comment to first get in and then remain posted, you can be sure the Prozis would jump on it.
It's a joke, right? Can you be sure? I mean, the guy who posted that also identifies himself as @ReyMohammed and, and he's the one who publicly implied a bomb threat.
In the spirit of "If you see something, say something," I think that determination should be made by the professionals.
UPDATE: Proof the hate accusers at SPLC approved that comment:

Evidently, some are OK with excusing special treatment the rest of us wouldn't get had we left the scene of an accident, given conflicting statements to police, and proven to be a hazard to others. More than OK-- they're bending over backwards to speculate on mitigating circumstances or blame the other party, which they have no way of knowing about. [More]
That's the point of trials.

'In a Way, We're Just a Welcoming Crew'
Special Report: Border crisis reality check [Watch]Put into perspective by a friend who notes:
Note the Border Patrol Council whining about not having enough agents. What's the point of hiring more agents, when the agents we already have are letting 90% of the invaders go -- in the USA?
The problem isn't too few agents. The problem is subversion by the president. You could have 1 million agents and it wouldn't solve the problem, not until you hold the president accountable or replace him with someone who isn't a traitor.
Dear God, can't anyone think?

Can you imagine the "dumb" jokes if a Republican had done this? Alinsky Rule 5 media Prozis would be wetting themselves in "retard"-bashing glee.
Zero Evidence, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style
The simple fact is that there is zero evidence that anything is seriously wrong with Clinton. [More]Yeah. Zero "I don't recall because of my concussion" evidence. What the hell does that have to do with state of health for someone who seeks the most powerful office in the world anyway?
Right, lickspittle apparatchik Chris Cillizza?
How these people can look at themselves in the mirror...
That Other Issue
Oh, right—there’s that other issue. The sacredness of mass immigration is the mystic chord that unites America’s ruling and intellectual classes. Their reasons vary somewhat. The Left and the Democrats seek ringers to form a permanent electoral majority. They, or many of them, also believe the academic-intellectual lie that America’s inherently racist and evil nature can be expiated only through ever greater “diversity.” The junta of course craves cheaper and more docile labor. It also seeks to legitimize, and deflect unwanted attention from, its wealth and power by pretending that its open borders stance is a form of noblesse oblige. The Republicans and the “conservatives”? Both of course desperately want absolution from the charge of “racism.” For the latter, this at least makes some sense. No Washington General can take the court—much less cash his check—with that epithet dancing over his head like some Satanic Spirit. But for the former, this priestly grace comes at the direct expense of their worldly interests. Do they honestly believe that the right enterprise zone or charter school policy will arouse 50.01% of our newer voters to finally reveal their “natural conservatism” at the ballot box? It hasn’t happened anywhere yet and shows no signs that it ever will. But that doesn’t stop the Republican refrain: more, more, more! No matter how many elections they lose, how many districts tip forever blue, how rarely (if ever) their immigrant vote cracks 40%, the answer is always the same. Just like Angela Merkel after yet another rape, shooting, bombing, or machete attack. More, more, more! [More]Bingo! Well stated!
But hey, it's not that "single issue," so no need to worry about how they vote. What's that got to do with RKBA anyway, right, NRA enablers? It's not like any of you -- at least the ones who aren't deliberately ignoring me because they know they're incapable -- will ever answer my challenge with anything other than deflection and redirection:
Produce credible data – not opinion, not anecdotes – something that can be independently validated, that “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) WILL NOT overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners. Show us your sources and methodologies for determining this WILL NOT result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass all kinds of anti-gun edicts.
Show us how this WILL NOT result in nominations and confirmations of judges to the Supreme and federal courts who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date.
Come on, shut me up with facts that are directly responsive, Grover.

Mixed Feelings
You Open Carry Idiots Aren’t Helping [More]I personally don't open carry to make a statement. That said, I've endorsed and appeared at multiple events where open carry has been the norm, and rather than seeing problems have instead seen peaceable conduct that is indeed helpful at negating all the hysterical stereotyping.
Then there's the kind that confirms it.
I'm not a "one size fits all" kind'a guy. The focus ought to be reserved for those who set a dangerous example or otherwise misbehave. In this particular case, it appears a motive was to intimidate someone who had been through the judicial process and was not threatening to use force.

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Term 'Conservative Republican' Is
Mr. Toomey, a conservative Republican in a tough re-election fight in Pennsylvania, has been rewarded with support from unlikely sources: former Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, a Democrat who was shot in the head in a 2011 assassination attempt and started a political action committee focused on gun control, and Michael R. Bloomberg, a former mayor of New York, who is behind another gun control PAC. [More]Well gosh, if a trusted source for unbiased reporting like "the newspaper of record" calls a gun-grabber "conservative," who am I to argue?
We're the Only Ones Just Kidding Enough
Bloomberg Has His Gun-Grabby Hands in Everything
The Nevada Wildlife Commission is proposing to ban certain calibers of center fire rifles for big game hunting at their Commission meeting on Saturday September 24th 2016 without justification. Please review our letter sent to the commission opposing this unnecessary regulation... [More]Per Nevada Firearms Coalition's email alert, "This proposal is being supported by former Metro Sheriff and current wildlife commissioner Bill Young who is also a member of the Everytown in Nevada advisory board and vocal supporter of the anti gun owner ballot initiative one."

They would literally rather see you dead than armed. Besides, you might miss your maniac attacker and hit a spotted owl.

Correcting the Record (Again)
From a misguided comment under "Mexico Repeats Call for U.S. Gun Ban while Ignoring the Obvious":
"The problem is not Obama, fast and tedious was started during the Bush administration."That's a misdirection Obama defenders have been using to try and confuse the issue and take focus off crimes under his administration. Outrageously, it does not serve the media's interest to correct the record. Based on results, people believe it, at least more than understand what really went down.
I tried to address that, years ago, but my voice only carries so far, and rarely escapes the echo chamber. That's just the reality of the situation.
That comment reminds me a refresher wouldn't hurt, courtesy of the internet Archive/Wayback Machine, since Examiner.com removed all articles: "Wide Receiver’ CI: ‘It had nothing to do with Bush or even DOJ."
And no, there were no "tracking devices" placed in the Wide Receiver guns, either.

The Good Activism Seal of Approval
I've seen friends step forward to try to do something about protecting RKBA -- from running for office, to conducting campaigns at great personal cost, to trying to counter media bias -- and seen all those efforts wither and die on the vine from lack of support. Most recently, I've seen the vast majority of Mike Vanderboegh's regular readers look the other way when asked to make a gratitude offering for value received from his work.
I've termed the phenomenon "Profiles in Apathy." And if there's a secret to turning that around and upping participation, it beats the hell out of me.
Not intending to sound like Eeyore, I nonetheless doubt what follows will make any difference. That said, a thought struck and I'm going to present it. It's a no-cost way for activists to establish credentials, at least as far as being able to demonstrate personal commitment and involvement: It's a way to prove contributions to "the cause" are more than just posting anonymous "Molon Labe" comments," a "Good Activism Seal of Approval" for lack of a better term -- and it probably should have a better term.
I'm thinking of a point system here -- but then, this is all in the rough sketch pad stage. Maybe give one point for each category.
Within the last year have you:
- Written/called a representative or government body to oppose an infringement or encourage an improvement (it doesn't have to be YOUR rep if you live in gun-grabber territory)?
- Attended a freedom-promoting event/rally/protest (gun shows don't count unless you participate in advocacy efforts)?
- Shared information/links and encouraged other activists to use it?
- Contacted the media to correct the record?
- Been a contributing member of a national/state gun/freedom group?
- Continued your own education and helped to educate others on RKBA?
- Supported a worthy political effort/campaign/representative or a lawsuit?
- Kept up on local government/attended council meetings, etc.?
- Voted? [last election/registered for next]
- Put your money where your mouth is?
Basically, the highest score you can earn is a "10," which you can claim and display as your "credential." And lower numbers are nothing to sneeze at either, but the point is to be honest -- anyone claiming a score should have each point documented to prove it.
Like I said,this is all in the draft stage. Candidly, I don't expect it will ever evolve beyond that, because my expectation is most either won't lift a finger and others will argue over the criteria or dismiss the whole thing as a stupid idea. If you're already in the deep end, my only counter-argument is people get there by first dipping their toes in the water and then wading out and splashing around. And the activists doing all this stuff are, at a minimum, buying you time.
So I put it out here on my own blog where it does't hurt anybody and people can do with it what they like -- or not. If any gun group wants to adopt / customize / modify it, be my guest.

That’s why the “clarification” they issued within days of being exposed came across like nothing so much as the late Gilda Radner’s Emily Litella character on the original Saturday Night Live show.

I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as “ninja” … Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing.

“One issue we see often is that the same mistake on a form repeated each time, like ‘Y’ instead of ‘Yes’ or an abbreviation of a county, gets misrepresented as ‘hundreds of violations’ by anti-gun interest groups. ATF says they have to note each one of the violations. So the ‘number of violations’ a dealer might have can be very misleading”... [More]Yep.

[More]You mean someone who had time to call 911 would have had time to defend himself and possibly save a lot of lives...? Instead of dedicating his life (for pay) to making sure everyone else is mandated by "law" to be just as useless as he was?
Oh, and her's one other thing I'm calling BS on:
Ana Lopez, the co-founder of Students Against Campus Carry at UT, said that though the “Campus (DILDO) Carry” protest on Wednesday went smoothly, she received online death threats after the protest.Someone actually said he was going to kill you Ana? And you turned that over to law enforcement? That's what a death threat is. It's not some troll expressing a hope that you suffer the consequences you would impose on others.
I see the death threat card played a lot by these hive insects, trying to make themselves out to be martyrs / victims and gun owners to all be murderers-in-waiting -- that is, lying.

Capture the Flag
This has resurfaced due to rich dilettante Kaepernick's recent bellyaching. If he did this today, Monday would be condemned by "progressives" for being a right-wing hater and free speech violator, and probably charged with assault and theft to boot.
Here's the rest of the story.
The "protester," William Thomas, and his then-11-year-old son, have faded into well-deserved obscurity. I wonder if either one would resurface if Rick Monday pursued the $1M offer for the flag, which he kept ...

The first step toward any reconciliation of policy positions will be an acknowledgement from individuals on both sides that they can be both right and wrong at the same time. [More]Is "reconciliation" the new word for "surrender"?
And after all this, the writer still spouts crap like "guns also cause a significant number of preventable deaths"...?
Assuming he was accurately quoted, this Brian Hiebert character sounds like a real ...uh..."sportsman."

An Explosive Development
ATF’s sudden and unexpected change in policy on wetted nitrocellulose will likely have a significant impact on industry’s ability to deliver products to the military and commercial markets. Industry members have relied on the exemption for wetted nitrocellulose for many years and are aware of no accidental detonations or diversion of this product into illicit channels. Consequently, it is unclear why ATF believed it necessary to change its policy and, more importantly, why ATF announced the change in a newsletter article with no advance notice to industry. [More]It's because they're being directed to do so by totalitarian scum who want to disarm Americans, and this is just another of the thousand in-your-face cuts they'll inflict to make that happen.
It's because Thomas Brandon is a "just following orders" tool.
Anybody see anybody in Congress doing anything about this? You know, all those people gun owners helped into power?
Anybody going to contact representatives backed by gun owners and ask?
I did.
An Open Door Policy
Unarmed? What About Unfisted?
So it would be racist to shoot this feral goddamn savage because he's "unarmed"? And it's racist to call a feral goddamn savage a feral goddamn savage? Because that's what these feral goddamn savages are, and it has everything to do with conduct. [More]
My motto comes to mind.
I also can't help feeling tremendous sympathy for the surviving heartbroken brother. He lost his only family and companion, and it sounds like they were both productive workers, outrageously victimized by feral goddamn savages.
Those bringing people in to this country for political and economic gains share moral culpability for their cynical and inhumane exploitation of human misery. And its no coincidence they're the same ones who ensure an unending supply of feral goddamn savages.

I Guess the Answer is 'No'

The petition organizers still need plenty of actual help. Look at what just one guy could do.
But that's ever been the case on such projects. When I was involved in SoCal activism, a handful of us -- the same handful every damn time -- would do the labors of Hercules while most remained blissfully ignorant/deliberately apathetic.
Gun owners could have the right to keep and bear arms secured if 90% of them just got off their damn lazy asses.
What's that? Even if the petitions qualify they'll never pass in an election? Worst case scenario, you make the antis spend $10M or so on commercials to make sure, and that's money they won't have to support their next attack.

In the Spirit of International Cooperation
Mexican immigration authorities say 424 migrants from African countries arrived at the southern state of Chiapas over two days last week. The National Immigration Institute said Tuesday that it has issued them 20-day transit visas that will allow the migrants to reach the U.S.-Mexico border, where they plan to request asylum.

The Status Quo 'Maverick'
“Sadly, the establishment has won this battle by spending untold millions to call me liberal, dangerous, and weak," Ward told supporters, according to a copy of her remarks as prepared for delivery. "As Senator McCain said, ‘It shouldn’t be beyond us to refrain from substituting character assassination and mean-spiritedness for spirited debate.’ After refusing to debate while running a slash and burn campaign devoid of actual ideas, I hope the senator can rest comfortably with his conscience as he continues to lecture others about civility. [More]With the exception of GOA, much of this is on the gun groups. And on Trump. But mostly on gun owners.
