Primarily Speaking
There will be a primary election in Maryland on June 2, less than two weeks away.
There is no candidate who has come out more strongly and definitively on the right to keep and bear arms and on its greatest threat -- culturally suicidal "pathway to citizenship" immigration -- than Jim Simpson.
Gun owners are always complaining about Republican politicians who fall short. Jim Simpson is one of us, a citizen advocate, and he wants what we want. How can we expect fidelity and unbending support for our cause if we don’t show it to those who could advance our interests if we’d only help get them to a position where they can?
He needs that support now, and not just monetary, but in spreading the word to those who will be voting.

Alan Dershowitz: State has right to 'plunge a needle into your arm' - Contends Constitution grants government power to forcibly vaccinate individuals [More]Using that rationale, it could also declare implants mandatory.

That way, they can pass "lock up your safety" laws against you that will have absolutely no effect on the element that ignores all laws.

Lawsuit Filed Over DOJ’s Second Amendment FOIA Foot-dragging
“But ‘preconditions like these’ have a place in the United States of America when it comes to the right of the people to keep and bear arms?” this column asked in January. “So they’ll go after violations for other rights, but where the Second Amendment is concerned, state entities can do as they please without fear of federal checks? Even though infringements directly affect the ‘security of a free State’ by disarming the citizen Militia?” [More]We hear the term “law enforcement” all the time.

Reconstructing the Past
He stopped by a property under construction where he engaged in no illegal activity and remained for only a brief period.” [More]This is one of my problems with this and another reason I haven't jumped on a bandwagon. When I was a child the tract we lived in was just starting to be developed-- our road wasn't even paved yet and ours was the first one on our end of it. Over the next few years, dozens of houses were built, and most sites weren't fenced off because people who lived there weren't the types to steal building materials or to sue over their children getting hurt while exploring -- which we regularly did. One neighbor kid was a hero of sorts because he could jump from the top of a dirt pile all the way into the basement excavation, something I never dared try.
We just used to be fascinated walking through and playing in the structures as they went up and were developed and finished. I can still recall the smell of wood, of poured concrete... And somebody yelling at us to get out of there because we might get hurt was a rarity.
Nowadays, such construction is typically behind a chain-link fence that is locked at the end of the workday, so any unauthorized presence is clearly an act of trespassing. I confess if I saw a site being built today that was not fenced off, I'd be tempted to go in and look around, albeit I'd make sure to be obvious to minimize the impression that I was sneaking.
Has anyone seen any reports on whether the site was fenced off?
