A Winning Strategy
Don’t let the Conservatives win on gun control [More]Follow us and we can all lose, eh?
A New Slogan
Attorneys for Legal Community Against Violence will host a conference call with political leaders, law enforcement officials and others to brief members of the media on McDonald v. Chicago on the day the Supreme Court announces its decision. [More]To add to Orwell's maxims, no doubt?
You know:
War is peace.And now:
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Losing is winning.In a way. But hold off on any victory dance. Yes, expect a close decision that the outright ban must go. But, as with Heller, don't think for a moment that a thousand infringements won't be allowed to stand--and even move forward. And all the High Court has to do to "approve" them is not hear a challenge.
Expect LCAV to tell us all about how they plan on persisting to subvert.
Nevada's U.S. Senate Primary Features Three Gun Rights Questionnaire Respondents and One Holdout
What better race to assert ourselves than one with the potential to unseat one of the nation's most powerful politicians? And what better primary to have maximum influence on than one with a predicted low turnout? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at a lever and a place to stand.
This Day in History: June 8
From the kind anxiety expressed in your letter as well as from other sources of information we discover that our enemies have filled Europe with Thrasonic accounts of victories they had never won and conquests they were fated never to make. While these accounts alarmed our friends in Europe they afforded us diversion. We have long been out of all fear for the event of the war. I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence. This is the best history of the war which can be brought within the compass of a letter. [More]

The Iron Law
Lawyers like Josh Horwitz and Casey Anderson (authors of Guns, Democracy and the Insurrectionist Idea) would have you believe that the state’s monopoly on the use of force is essential to the ’survival of democracy and ordered liberty’. [More]Except they misquote their ideological hero, Nazi-ascension-to-power enabler Max Weber, who actually called for a "monopoly of violence."
I talked a bit about that creepiness here. I have more to say, but it's in a GUNS Magazine column that hasn't been published yet, so I'll probably hold off on further comment until then.
Candid Camera
What with laws against videotaping "Only Ones" once more gaining attention, correspondent Todd reminds us of an earlier U.S. District Court decision in favor of the citizen... [Read]
We're the Only Ones "Joke's On YOU" Enough
Cop walks as DUI charges dropped in fatal '07 crashI don't get why everyone is so surprised.
'IT'S A JOKE' | Victims' families upset, but may press civil case [More]
Haven't we established cops and booze have a special "Only Ones" relationship?

Null and Void
Unlike Judge Weinstein, I have reflexively incorporated into my jury instructions what can only be viewed as an anti-nullification charge: “You should not be concerned about the wisdom of any rule I state. Regardless of any opinion that you may have as to what the law may be or ought to be, it would violate your sworn duty to base a verdict on any view of the law other than that which I give you.” [More]And then he goes on to tell us that doesn't work. Typical. But not surprising from the Brady talking points he cites.
Screw him. Vote your conscience and nullify the influence of judicial tyrants.
If it doesn't help secure the Blessings of Liberty, the hell with what these arrogant authoritarians say. Besides, they routinely break a more solemn oath every time they put on the black robe...
And yeah, I realize this is a year old. Unfortunately, as long as it is still "relevant," it will remain a timely reference.

Mentally-Challenged Weiss Confused
Weis: 'Homicides continue to challenge us' [More]Or as Yul Brynner observed in "The King and I":
Is a puzzlement.Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.
Full Disclosure
Democrats pushing legislation to require that groups airing political advertisements disclose their donors are trying to prevent the National Rifle Association and AFL-CIO from joining the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in opposing the measure. [More]I don't get it--I know NRA fought "campaign finance reform," but then they turned around and endorsed one of its primary architects...twice now...
Are Police the Only Ones Who Should be Armed in Establishments Serving Alcohol?
You don't go copping unwelcome feels off people, joke or not.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column gives a sobering look at what can happen when we assume employment equates with trustworthiness.
But there are ways of dealing with those who do that do not involve executing them on the spot. [More]

This Day in History: June 7
James Warren, on June 7, 1778, tried to summarize the effect of the recent election on him and the state. He had not been reelected by Plymouth voters in May, and the legislature did not promote him to the Council. “[If I were] dismissed from the Navy Board I should be truly a private Man, and an Independent Farmer. . . . I am tired of public life tho’ I was determined never to desert the Colours I helped to hoist. . . . If you Enquire how all this came to pass, I must tell you it is oweing to various causes. The people feel themselves uneasy and don’t know the reason. They have therefore shifted their members more generally than ever.” [More]
