U.S. Representative Massie Proposes Repeal of Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act [More]That will still leave state bans in place, but like the antis always say, it's a good first step.
The government says that putting weapons into the hands of citizens is the best defense against terror. [More]In other words, they recognize an armed citizenry is “necessary to the security of a free State,” something the Founding Fathers in this country recognized as a self-evident truth, as do those intent on undermining that security and freedom.
In an aggressive move to back up its support for President-elect Trump, the National Rifle Association on Tuesday vowed to take out Democrats and others trying to "sabotage his administration." [More]So how does endorsing McCain, McConnell, Graham, Ryan, et al. and refusing to acknowledge "immigration" and the "pathway to citizenship" as fundamental threats to that "single issue" help?
Magistrate Janice Doner arraigned Deputy Adam J. Brown on three charges -- tampering with evidence, a four-year felony; careless discharge of a firearm causing injury, a two-year high court misdemeanor; and careless discharge of a firearm causing less than $50 in damage, a 90-day misdemeanor. [More]So they're sayng he's as dishonest as he is dumb?
Although President-elect Donald Trump was mentioned, Chicago Police do not believe the crime was politically motivated. [More]No, of course not. And it couldn't have been a hate crime, either, because the victim obviously has more power and privilege than his assailants.
It also comes with a set of physical keys, just in case you’re having trouble with the fingerprint reader, the device runs out of battery, or you simply need someone to unlock it when you’re not available. [More]Having to carry a set of keys around for an $80 novelty subject to failure when you need it most kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Woman kills home invader with gun perched on Bible [More][Insert gun-grabber name of choice] would rather this racist, intolerant Christian had been tortured and killed than armed.
This is not Hudson’s first attempt at passing such a bill. A similar effort from 2015 was introduced and died without being enacted. With Republicans enjoying majorities in the House and Senate, and with Donald Trump ready to assume the presidency, all strongly enabled by gun owner support, all excuses for not passing the bill this time will ring hollow. [More]But your help is needed.
Despite the E.U.’s concerns, the latest Czech proposal argues that armed citizens would be the best defense against terror attacks. [More]Kind'a like "being necessary to the security of a free State" 'n all that...?
As a result of that “out,” finding lawmakers willing to put forth a radical departure from business as usual, something new, something that turns the status quo in its head, can be like pulling teeth. And that shows how the relative term “conservative” can also be an indication of supposed “leaders” who really prefer things remain just the way they are, infringements and all. [More]It's bigger than one man. Conversely, all it takes is one man to take advantage of those damnable signs and put the focus back on gun bans.
Paul Ryan calls WikiLeaks chief a Putin 'sycophant' [More]This guy, along with Grahmnesty, McConnell, McCain and the usual GOP suspects, is going to prove much more dangerous and insidious an obstacle than any Democrat.
The Connecticut Citizens Defense League (The state’s largest gun rights organization) is opposed to some of the regulatory recommendations from the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection that pertain to Olympic Competition Pistols. The firearms in question fell under the State’s definition of assault weapons when amended language was passed under Public Act 13-3 and 13-220. [More]Anybody see an emergency justifying regulation in order to protect the public?
Schumer promises to block Trump’s Supreme Court pick [More]So "the American people [no longer] deserve a fully functioning court”?
Curiously, again at this writing, self-styled “common sense gun safety law” groups, never shy about leaping to conclusions and blood-dancing for more infringements every time there’s a criminal shooting to exploit, have been strangely silent about the Istanbul killings. So far the story is being ignored on their web pages and social media accounts, with the groups preferring instead to focus on warning everyone against Donald Trump and the NRA—that and blaming Indiana for Chicago’s record homicides. Perhaps it’s because they realize Turkey already imposes a “wish list” of gun owner control infringements the gun-grabber groups want to see enacted here. Perhaps it’s because an examination of that will show how useless such edicts are at stopping the evil in our midst. [More]So much for all those policies and controls the antis say will make life better and safer for everyone...
...Waffle House locations have been prime targets for welcoming armed robbers – including “a surge in robberies at Newnan-area Waffle Houses.” [More]It looks like the policy to "make everyone feel welcome" is working.
Wolf Blitzer Blames Indiana for Chicago Gun Crime [More]He's simply parroting a talking point.
Man's eye gouged out, nose bitten during East Village fight [More]As opposed to pulling his personal defense weapon and having his assailant back down...
Baltimore officials said they cannot provide the emails of a top police commander who oversaw a controversial aerial surveillance program this year because his email account was not configured properly and the records were not retained as required by state law and city policy. [More]I don't suppose we could .. you know ... ask the Russians?
China's CCTV launches global 'soft power' media network to extend influence [More]And here's all the proof we need that their efforts will be more honest than those of our own "Authorized Journalists":
President Xi Jinping said in February state media must tell China's story to the world better and become internationally influential, adding that onshore portals must follow the party line and promote "positive propaganda as the main theme".They admit it.
A white Ivy League professor has taken to the pages of the Huffington Post to condemn her own race, declaring that she chose never to reproduce because her children would simply inherit white privilege. [More]We should all applaud her decision.
Attorney Brett Wadsworth says he admits Higginbotham shot Luttrell, but claims he did so out of self-defense. [More]It sounds like it could be. So had the situation been reversed, would Luttrell still be "held on a $75,000 bond" as the investigation proceeds?
There's a fundamental flaw in your argument (that I pointed out here, a year and a half ago when you first raised the alarm), namely that you don't seem to understand the "arbitrary" criteria that would land someone on SSAs reporting to NICS. [More]This came at a bad time for me but it merits being addressed. Bear with me, it'll be a few days, probably after the weekend.
Bloomberg background check law in Nevada. Money doesn’t buy competency, thank goodness. Per NV Constitution, the legislature can’t touch the new law for three years. Happy New Year!
However, other militants are itching for a new battle... [More]I'm assuming they've done a better job this time vetting provocateurs and CIs, seeing how outnumbered defendants were by snitches at Malheur...?
Americans who have not been adjudicated as posing a danger to themselves and others are being denied a fundamental right without the due process that would be afforded criminal suspects. Nor is it clear how rights could be restored, and how anyone in need of financial affairs assistance would even be able to afford a challenge or be in a position to try. [More]Those in power positions representing themselves as “the government” want to disarm the citizenry and this is one way to make incremental gains toward that goal using a divide-and-conquer strategy.
He put the gun up to his eye, looked down the barrel, and pulled the trigger to see what would happen... [More]Who better to instruct The WaPo readership on gun politics than someone who can't even touch a confetti gun without a disastrous and wholly unnecessary and idiotic negligent mishap?
Van Doninck is convinced the eagle was poisoned after eating the remains of wildlife killed with lead ammunition. [More]And after jumping to such a conclusion based on agendized inference that ignores other potential sources, rather than on actual evidence, it's probably also safe to say it was Russian lead ammunition.
"EU countries should set up independent bodies — co-ordinated by Brussels and modeled on the system of antitrust agencies — which could quickly label fake news, remove it from circulation and impose fines if necessary." [More]Not just "authorized journalism," but enforced "authorized journalism"...
Fired Miami cops joked about using black neighborhoods for target practice [More]Hey, they're just "young kids." Who better to have life and death control over you as they issue orders you'd better not argue with?
Uber driver fired in ‘self defense,’ police say, as Stand Your Ground takes toll [More]So evidently Chalres Rabin has a huge problem with self-defense. Huge enough to repeat the lie that the Zimmerman case was about SYG. And to introduce hand-wringing judgmental hysterics like "a nation besieged by guns" in what he's representing as a straight news piece.
This is all a matter of destroying our culture and heritage. [More]And yes, it's full-blown cultural Marxism.
And with that one statement, Obama lost the diplomatic war with Russia. [More]Putin just told him he's not worth bitch-slapping because he doesn't consider him a man.
Deported Immigrants Get Taxpayer-Funded Grants From Obama Administration [More]Now just try defying the IRS -- or not getting a tax stamp for a NFA gun.
As for me, I have increased my membership to patron. I will make extra donations to the NRA so they have what they need to fight back with. Mr. C, would it help to make extra donations to GOA, CCKBA, etc or just the NRA? [More]I typically stay out of comments under my articles -- I figure I've had my say, and now it's time for the readers to have theirs. At times I make exceptions if it looks like clarification or a direct answer is appropriate, but otherwise I steer clear -- even though the temptation to defend myself is sometimes great.
Without that information, police and policymakers say, they can't gauge the full extent of gun violence in America. [More]And then what?
Homeowner uses gun to bring down armed home invaders [More]It looks like what they wanted was his life.
Last week, the Obama administration put the finishing touches on a new policy that would deprive recipients of disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) of their Second Amendment rights. The administration will now characterize those citizens as "mental defectives," thereby having their ability to own a firearm subject to the federal Gun Control Act. [More]The guy's doing what he can to express his contempt on his way out, isn't he?
The ruling did not overturn the ban but rejected arguments invoked by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in which judges ruled that stun guns were not protected under the Second Amendment because they “were not in common use at the time of the Second Amendment’s enactment.” [More]In other words, the treasonous robed PsOS would ban everything developed after.
Scientists pick up deep space signals which could PROVE aliens are trying to contact humanity ... The region where the signals are coming from ... is located about 3 billion light years away from earth. [More]Reality ain't these guys' strong suit, is it?
George Soros Conjures Hitler In Attack On 'Ascendant Populists', Warns "Democracy Is Now In Crisis" [More]If that doesn't contradict itself right there, I don't know what does.
"We have always looked to Bears Ears as a place of refuge," Begaye said. "The rocks, the winds, the land — they are living, breathing things that deserve timely and lasting protection." [More]Sacred grounds, eh? Except "progressives" are also quick to go on the warpath under the banner of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
“[T]he recent passage of the Nevada legislation regarding background checks for private sales cannot dictate how federal resources are applied,” Kimberly Del Greco of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division informed the Nevada Department of Public Safety in a Dec. 14 letter, meaning the FBI would not allow intermediaries to run background checks as required by the Act. Based on a resulting department clarification request to Laxalt on how to proceed, the attorney general concluded “citizens may not be prosecuted for their inability to comply with the Act unless and until the FBI changes its public position and agrees to conduct the background checks consistent with the Act.” [More]The best laid schemes o' mice an' Michael Bloomberg, that is, o' rats...
Nevada accidentally leaks thousands of medical marijuana dispensary applications - The data includes their dates of birth, home addresses, citizenship, and driving license and social security numbers of the applicants. [More]Oh sure, trivialize criminal negligence by calling it an accident. Our bad!
The county contends the law is a reasonable way of maintaining public safety and is in keeping with U.S. Supreme Court rulings on gun rights and with historical regulation of commercial gun sales. [More]Of course they do. They're professional liars.
- The new center will “track and evaluate counterfactual narratives”.
- The new center will identify “emerging trends” in “disinformation,” including “information obtained from print, broadcast, online and social media.”
- The new center will use “covert or clandestine special operators and agents to influence targeted populations”.
- The new center has 10 million dollars to pay select members of academia and journalism to “proactively promote fact-based narratives and policies,” and “to expose and refute foreign misinformation and disinformation,” –as defined by the center.
- The new center will pick winners and losers in academia and politics: “The Center is authorized to provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society groups, journalists, nongovernmental organizations, federally-funded research and development centers, private companies, or academic institutions.”
- The new center will compile and evaluate information that has been gathered by those whom the center funds. [More]
'I HAVE CONFIRMED EVIDENCE' Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims US-led coalition forces have ‘supported ISIS’ [More]So seeing as how Turkey is a NATO ally, if they retaliate militarily against those forces, Obama will be treaty-bound to provide support.
Of the nine Northern Virginians who were arrested, all but one were in their teens and early 20s. They included a police officer, a Starbucks barista, Army soldiers, bankers and a cabdriver. Four of the nine graduated from Northern Virginia high schools, one with honors. Two attended Northern Virginia Community College. [More]So they've already been treated with welcoming tolerance, inclusion and acceptance, and they still want to kill us?
But the vast data those readers generate continues to alarm civil liberties advocates, troubled by the possibility of police tracking people’s movements, and now a legal challenge is headed to Virginia’s Supreme Court to determine whether the police can keep the information indefinitely — or not at all. [More]Hey, if you're not going anywhere we're interested in, you've got nothing to worry about.
Newly released dashcam video shows off-duty Fort Worth officer shoot man in back as he walked away [More]This ought to do wonders for race relations.
What this is, obviously, is a lashing out at the results of the November elections, and an attempt by the monopoly of violence lobby to gain in “friendly” jurisdictions what was denied them at the polls. It is further an attempt to worry and harass in a “thousand cuts” strategy, hoping to drain reserves and even “win” through selecting targets that will be hard-pressed or not inclined to fight back. [More]It's a good thing Hillary's not making the federal court appointments. How's that for understatment?
Gun-Owning Leftists Are a Good Thing; Here’s Why [More]Why, because they'll see the light?
Oh yeah, nice hit piece, Codera. Pretend the Left is totally disarmed so your cop masters can sleep easy while they disarm those who would protect the people of Ferguson. [More]You keep believing that, "ErikO." All of it.
Kevin Keith Krohn, 59, posted on Facebook “I’m just glad Obama didn’t take all our gunz! I see a good use for one now”... [More]Ah, another "pro-gun Democrat"...
Outrage at Prince Charles: ‘Normally at Christmas’ We Think of Jesus, This Year Remember Mohammed [More]Mr. Paine tolds us all we need to know about such characters.
Nothing more clearly crystalizes this sad state of affairs than the U.S. government’s ruthless war on whistleblowers who expose severe constitutional violations by those in power. [More]Same as it ever was...
ISIS members were initially trained by members and contractors of the Central Intelligence Agency at facilities in Jordan in 2012. [More]Gosh, then why wouldn't we believe the Democrat operatives among them about foreign intereference in our affairs?
