Notes from the Resistance...
Americans have cut back on buying cars, furniture and clothes in a tough economy, but there's one consumer item that's still enjoying healthy sales: guns.Looks like some in the unorganized militia have received the message loud and clear. And it's all been done openly, without covert, directed communications. Adaptation, innovation, ingenuity and initiative...

Tell me something, Mr. Pickett--is Dan Cooper going to divest all interest in your company, all stock? Will he continue to get patent royalties on product sold?
Because if the answer is "no" to the first question and "yes" to the second, then what does it matter who runs the day-to-day operations? He'll continue to take in money from gun owners to support whatever subversive politician or cause he pleases.
Give me something besides boilerplate CYA. Prove to me and to all gun owners that buying a Cooper rifle from this point forward won't add to his bank account in any way.
I'm going to post this reply tomorrow on The War on Guns. Your unequivocal response--or lack of one--will be noted for my readers and picked up by many others.
Julian Alexander died after being shot twice in the chest by a police officer who was chasing four burglary suspects early Tuesday morning.
If you drink and drive this weekend, Austin police say they will find proof through your breath or your blood. You can't refuse because this coming weekend will be a "no refusal weekend" in Austin. [More]And if we declare it, it must be so: It's the law! Well, hell, guys, if a "No Fifth Amendment weekend" is good, a "No Fifth Amendment week" would be even better! How about "Suspend ALL Your Rights Month," or better yet... The last time I heard the "can't refuse" line, it was coming from a celluloid organized crime boss, which, if you think about it, makes sense. When they start claiming supreme authority over your blood, it sounds like Austin "Only Ones" are bent on ushering in "The Year of Living Dangerously." [Via Brian F]
Doing a few sit-ups and push-ups in Santa Monica turned James Birch into a scofflaw -- and cost him $158 to boot.
Congress establishes the Naval Committee, the first real administrative committee on standing naval affairs for the colonies.
“The truth is,” the state gun rights group points out, “that the only thing SB184 changed regarding schools was about the ability for concealed handgun license-holders to pick up or drop off their child from a designated point on school property.”
Seems reasonable. These citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, and citizens in compliance with SB184 are the most peaceable in the state. And it's not like those intent on evil will be stopped by mere rules. So if you’re not projecting your own ignorance and trust issues, what’s the problem?
“I didn’t think a thing about it because I hadn’t read that law book,” said Rambo. “Hell, I don’t know all the rules.”Yeah, nobody told me slavery was illegal. I mean, it's not like the Constitution is mandatory reading in "Only Ones" school.
Barack, and his killer angels, cometh.
Get ready to face them.
Tim is the president of TNW Firearms in Vernonia. Tim's a gun dealer, a firearms importer, a sponsor of full auto shoots and a member of OFF. But for some reason, NRA has chosen not to even list him as a candidate on their website.I think we know the reason. It's just considered bad form in some circles to bring it up.
LAPD Chief Bratton’s Shameful Obama EndorsementWhy the surprise? The guy's been a career gungrabber/tyranny enabler.
...and then there's Mini-Cooper:Dan Cooper, a proud member of the National Rifle Association, has backed Republicans for most of his life. He's the chief executive of Cooper Arms, a small Montana company that makes hunting rifles..."Dazzled."
This year, Cooper has given $3,300 to the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. That's on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama's speech at that year's Democratic National Convention.
Regarding the USA Today Article. Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc. did not contribute and does not support in any fashion the campaign of Senator Obama.Blah, blah, blah...I'm not buying it, or any of Dan's products (personally).
Nine months ago Dan Cooper (personally) made an online donation to the campaign in an effort to help defeat Hillary Clinton and in protest of American plant closures and the shipping of jobs overseas. Three months ago he made yet another donation to the McCain campaign and the RNC totaling over twice that given to Obama campaign.
There is no doubt that the article in USA Today has caused a considerable response. To this end we are encouraged and stand with our fellow NRA members and supporters of the Second Amendment and against those who oppose it.
re: Ain't buying your excuses or your firearms
Dear Collectivist Lackeys,
Here's to let you know that, regardless of your attempt to distance yourselves from your warm embrace of the most anti-firearm presidential candidate in the history of this country, it won't wash and it won't wear. Lenin said that the capitalists would sell them the rope by which the Bolsheviks would hang them. He wasn't wrong, as we see from your cynical boot-licking of the present standard bearer of the Marxist brand.
Your endorsement of the man who will strip you of your firearms rights merely means that you will be among the last to be herded onto the boxcars -- a dubious distinction at best.
As for me, I am going to encourage all my shooting buddies to boycott you boot-licking jerks. You thought Smith and Wesson had troubles? Of course, maybe you're counting on government contracts to offset the outrage? Selling out your birthright for a mess of pottage is not new in history. It is however almost universally despised and for good reason. Enjoy your 15 seconds of Democrat Socialist fame. In the end, it will buy you nothing.

Mayor Daley predicted today that more than a million people would descend on Grant Park for Barack Obama’s election night “celebration”...Sounds like a perfect opportunity to...uh...galvanize public opinion, doesn't it?
Mayor Daley said today he’s “not proud” of the fact that Chicago is the homicide capital of the nation, but he said the slayings of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew could not have been prevented.Of course they could have been. I notice nobody coming in and doing this to your family, mayor. Why do you suppose that is?
We’ll get it down next year. We’ll get it down. We’ll do things differently.Anticipating the Age of the Lightworker, are we?
Delaware State Police stopped Alvina Vansickle from purchasing a .22-caliber pistol for self-defense because she was too old and a woman, said Superintendent Col. Thomas MacLeish.Perhaps someone should take away Col. MacLeish's gun because he's too presumptuous and stupid?
The outrage that followed led to the revelation that Delaware State Police had been keeping lists of gun buyers for years; state law requires them to destroy these records after 60 days.Sounds to me like "Only One" Tom--and anyone who helped him break the law--belongs behind bars. And is that an SS uniform he's wearing in the sidebar picture?
To help slow gun violence, Miami Valley officials are bringing in a big gun.Boston?
David M. Kennedy, whose work with the Boston Gun Project in the mid-1990s drastically reduced gun violence in that city and inspired similar successful initiatives elsewhere, will visit the area Thursday, Oct. 30.
Four armed American vessels sail from Cambridge as part of a fleet created to cruise the coast in search of enemy transports carrying arms and provisions.
