Yet the public mind has been so poisoned that an acquittal of George Zimmerman could ignite a reaction similar to that, 20 years ago, when the Simi Valley jury acquitted the LAPD cops in the Rodney King beating case. [More]With the caveat that I have no crystal ball and I've been astonishingly wrong before, I think it will be worse. I don't think it will be confined to one city. If so, much of it will be waged by the children of the LA rioters' generation, no doubt profoundly influenced by the quality of the parenting and the cultural influences they experienced and are immersed in.

If Zimmerman Walks
Just a Minor Fender Bender
In a statement, Dodgers officials praised stadium security and Los Angeles police for a "quick security response (that) prevented the confrontation from escalating further." [More]But that did nothing to prevent the targeted victim from almost getting killed by vicious pack animals. What cowards--can you imagine three grown males holding someone down while the fourth kicks him in the head and face?
What could have prevented them from attacking him, and from anyone getting hurt in the first place?
Forget it--the antis say guns and fender benders don't mix. They would rather you and your loved ones be held down and kicked in the head until the "Only Ones" swoop in to save the day.
A Prohibited Person?
On Nov. 28, 2001, Edwards fired several rounds into the walls of their house during a fight with his wife, police said. He was charged with domestic violence, assault, aggravated menacing and using a weapon while under the influence. He was charged on Feb.23, 2005, with simple assault and domestic violence after another fight with his wife, police said. He pleaded guilty to unlawful restraint in 2002 and negligent assault in 2005, both misdemeanors, Porter said. [More]
So are they saying the Lautenberg misdemeanor domestic violence prohibition doesn't work?
When Super Soakers are Outlawed...
Even more troubling, Bill Mayfield, who works at Gilmay Guns in Fresno tells KMPH it only costs about $30 worth of parts to transform a toy into a shotgun, and you don't have to be a gun expert to do it. [More]Well then the solution is obvious: We need to close the gun "parts" loophole!
Either that or the very idea that "gun control" laws can stop anyone determined to violate them is all wet.
This Day in History: May 22
Major Ferguson was appointed Inspector of Militia on May 22, 1780. His tasking was to march to Tryon County, North Carolina, raise and organize Loyalist units from the Tory population of the Carolina Backcountry, and protect the left flank of Lord Cornwallis' main body at Charlotte, North Carolina.

ERIC HOLDER AND U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEHIND DANGEROUS NEW PROPOSAL TO RESTRICT RIGHTS OF ILLINOIS GUN OWNERS [More]Because one thing Illinois evidently doesn't have is enough gun control...

Vanderboegh Medical Update
I called Mike since he hasn't posted since Friday. He's still having ups and downs--he had to go into ER because he was having problems with a tube and they've released him but he's going in to see his doctor today.
He was in a good enough humor, all things considered.

Email illustrates need for gun owners to check out solicitors
In other words, saying this kindly, there would appear to be other more pressing priorities at present. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks if there might be a more effective way for We the People to engage in the political process than paying private interest spammers to send fax blasts over hysterically-presented non-issues.
Bound and Determined
The controversy erupted in April after Anchorage gun shops revealed that an ATF agent had visited them earlier this year, requesting access to their “bound books,” the volumes that firearms dealers are required by law to maintain, with every transaction involving gun purchases, sales, or other transactions...Great Northern Guns refused to cooperate with the ATF agent’s request, because it is against the law. [More]Hooray for them--that is a brave and principled stand. Now we need to help them watch their back against retaliation/"Economic Waco."
Here's my problem:
Young’s office appears satisfied that the gun shop flap has been put to rest...Why, because he received "assurances" after ATF was caught usurping authority, harassing gun stores and violating the frickin' law? I'm not satisfied and you shouldn't be either. Let these same bastards catch one of us in a technical violation and they'd come down on us with the full force of the state behind them.
When Hidden Compartments are Outlawed...
If you live in Ohio, you need to get involved now, as this latest bit of presumptuous police state enabling/ forced degradation has been fast-tracked. [Read]
Ohioans for Concealed Carry elaborates via email:
We shall see, and then we shall react accordingly. In a perfect world, "leaders" wouldn't need to be led.
UPDATE:
Ohioans for Concealed Carry elaborates via email:
URGENT - IF YOU ARE CONCERNED BY THE DANGERS THAT SB305 WILL BRING TO MOTORISTS IN OHIO YOU MUST CALL YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES IMMEDIATELY AND EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS WEEK - DO NOT EMAIL THEM AS EMAIL HAS BEEN RENDERED USELESS -- CALL THEM, LEAVE A MESSAGE IF YOU MUST, AND HAVE EVERYONE YOU KNOW DO THE SAME. THIS BILL IMPACTS EVERYONE -- NOT JUST GUN OWNERS. To identify your representative go to http://www.legislature.state.oh.us -- On the right side of that page click on "House" and "Zip Code" and then enter your zip code. If more than one representative is listed CALL BOTH OF THEM. Leave them a voicemail and tell them you share Ohioans For Concealed Carry's concerns over SB305 and that you do not want it fast tracked to the Governor until it is improved -- or defeated.I just did. The staffer for my rep, Kristina Roegner, did not know her position on this but said they had been getting quite a few calls. I conveyed my expectation that we will see leadership from her on this, including a public statement.I got the typical promise that my message would be passed on, but no commitment that my representative would represent liberty.
We shall see, and then we shall react accordingly. In a perfect world, "leaders" wouldn't need to be led.

Embedded Assets
Here’s a great way to reduce overhead and be effective at running a national organization dedicated to infringing on the gun rights of everyday people all at the same time… Have cities hire your people for you so that tax payers cover ¼ of your people’s salary and benefits, pay for most of their operational costs, and finance all of their other resources! It also embeds your people as leaders in city government so that you don’t have to lobby there! [More]Sean Carrana has uncovered a bombshell story, once again proving the value of "Unauthorized Journalists" over the deliberately indifferent/biased/ignorant "professionals."
How unsurprising of hive insect queen Bloomberg to rely on the Chicom final insult of charging for the executioner's bullet.
This one needs to go viral, and safeguards need to be established to send these jackals howling back into the darkness.
UPDATE: Kurt weighs in.

The Big Disconnect
“Every election year, the members of Congress come to pro-gun voters asking to be re-elected, yet we don’t have any pro-gun votes scheduled to come to the House and Senate floor.”[More]Gee, it's almost like we're being conned or something.
This Day in History: May 21
In a prelude to the Great Raid of 1780, Sir John Johnson and his small army of Tories and Indians invaded Johnstown on May 21, 1780. Their raid began at midnight when they entered the town and systematically killed local patriots and destroyed their homes and property. Local Tories, who had an early warning about the raid, assisted with the raid on their fellow neighbors. [More]

Breyer push for more protection illustrates elite double standard
That Breyer demands armed police protection provided at taxpayer expense illustrates no small amount of elitist hypocrisy considering his dissent in the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller case... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering notes some people--those would be our rulers--think they're just more entitled than the rest of us.
