California Man Jailed Four Days for Recording Cops [More]I used to live near Hawthorne. I used to do business in Hawthorne involving getting permits from city government. This does not surprise me at all.

We're the Only Ones Camera Shy Enough
[Via several of you]
Orwellian Free Thinkers
You know, those who call down the force of the state to squelch thought they disapprove of... [More]
The Wrong Way...
...and the right way. [Read]
That's if you wish to win converts.
For those who have no interest in honest discourse because they know full well why they promote the agenda they do, my bias is toward a more primal argument.

Baby Steps
...which anti-gun activists view as a small step in the right direction... [More]It not only will have no effect on "gun violence," it will also have no effect on gun ownership. What it will do is make Cook County gun shops less competitive. Closing them all down by hook or by crook is no doubt a key goal.
I won't be surprised if it results in a reduction in tax revenues as shopping out-of-county becomes more attractive.
I also can't help but notice that "Authorized Journalist" Ciara McCarthy calls herself a "reporter," but she couldn't manage to find one viewpoint that is against the tax. I guess we should be thankful The Daily Northwestern allows comments.
The Screaming of the Lambs
Dr. Lecter: And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
Clarice: Lambs. And they were screaming.
Dr. Lecter: They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
Clarice: And they were screaming.
Dr. Lecter: And you ran away?
Clarice: No. First I tried to free them. I … I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run. [More]
When Seconds Count
The video says even though the mall has "security" on premises, it took them 15 minutes to respond. Note it doesn't say it took them 15 minutes to become aware of the situation. [More]
Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...
Jason Osu, 31, suffered multiple gunshot injuries in the attack on his driveway in Beauclair Drive, Liverpool, last Monday night. [More]Now what?
But...But...But...
A study has found that even with record gun sales, handgun violence in Virginia has decreased. [More]But if it's not the guns, what can it be...?
Trail of Tears
As long as the "let's talk tribal" invitation has been made, substitute "red" for "white," and S.E. Ruckman pretty much applies Magua's contemptuous observation to her people.
Still Confused
Do not be confused by the mistaken information put out by one national gun owners organization. S.3525 does not override current laws and thereby enable the seizure of privately-held land. [More]
I know some good people who are for this and some good people who are against it. But I'd feel a whole lot better if they gave a point-by-point refutation instead of just a blanket denial.
We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough
I had a similar situation where "an unfamiliar large dog" wandered into my backyard. I made quick friends with him, checked his collar tag and walked him home. [More]
I suppose if if had the benefit of professional training, I could have conducted myself in a way sure to agitate and spook him instead.

This Day in History: November 26
Having found it impracticable to move, suddenly, the whole Convention troops, British and German, and it being represented that there could not, immediately, be covering provided for them all at Fort Frederick, we concluded to march off the British first, from whom was the principal danger of desertion, and to permit the Germans, who show little disposition to join the enemy, to remain in their present quarters till something further be done.

Vanderboegh cites ‘utter, complete and abject failure' of gun-grabbers
“Not only has the aggregate number of firearms increased but the number of firearms PER PERSON HAS DOUBLED!” he answers. “Well, all I can say is ‘Give me some more of that old time (gun control) religion.’ [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report celebrates some unintended consequences.

Obama’s energy chairman paints rifles a ‘terrorist threat’ for Bloomberg group
But the damage has been done, and not to transformers. Wellinghoff has managed to inject an anti-rifle scare into the energy debate that Bloomberg News, in thrall to its billionaire anti-gun zealot master, has the means to disseminate to the general public to manipulate and gin up the fear needed in order for planned “solutions” to be introduced. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner analysis notes there are lies, damned lies and Bloomberg News reports.
