Just Thought I'd Mention This

Now that Ammon Bundy & Co. are in custody, I'm hoping there is a way to make the captors think twice about abuse.  For some reason, I can't shake the memory of the convenient jail "suicide" of Irv Rubin and murder of Earl Krugel, both of whom I'd met while living in L.A.

Oath Keepers Report on Bundy Arrest

Blaine Cooper has reportedly assumed leadership at the Refuge and has been told to leave immediately. During a phone call with Pete Santilli, Pete can be overheard saying, “Blaine, please don’t do this.” Blaine is reportedly wanting to make a stand. Women and children are still at the Refuge. [More]
The danger isn't over.

Quite the Collection

A Wauwatosa man is under federal investigation for selling guns without a proper license, buying more than 500 firearms from an outdoors store and then selling them through a website or at gun shows, according to newly unsealed court documents. [More]
Some are attributing this to Obama's executive ordure.

The Feds were destroying lives of collectors before that. What amazes me is how this guy thought he wouldn't be challenged.

That alone makes me suspect there's more to this than being reported. It all seems just so...convenient...

Diff'rent Strokes

A Detroit man who died early Sunday in a one-car crash was pantsless and masturbating while watching a pornographic movie on his cell phone, according to police who investigated the accident. [More]
My favorite observation:
The name of the movie wasn’t known.
Looks like the slogans page could use an expansion update...

The End?

Oregon standoff spokesman Robert 'LaVoy' Finicum killed, Bundys in custody after shooting near Burns [More]
There is much to sort out. Some reports call it an "ambush," others a "gunfight."

There will be a press conference this morning at 10:30 local time. Of all the links I've seen, this one will probably be the best one to consult first throughout the day.

UPDATE: Sources tell me the women and children have been successfully transported away from Malheur, leaving a handful of holdouts intent to make their stand.  This video purports to be from an eyewitness to the roadblock arrests:


I'm told there may be dashcam videos. Getting those may be another matter altogether.

UPDATE: This contradicts the above video.  I do not know this person and why he would give exclusive information to leftist Travis Gettys and Raw Story. I'm trying to find out more.  And here's another. And more.

Remembrances of What Could Be

The attack last July on a recruiting office in Tennessee has prompted the Air Force to remind commanders they may authorize qualified airmen to carry weapons on base while off duty and out of uniform. [More]
So they've had this "power" all along, but chose to put human lives in jeopardy instead? And do commanders still have the "may not" option?

Still, ain't it something when compared with what the Marine brass is doing?

Lock N Load


I'll be joining host Bill Frady this evening at 6 Eastern to talk about "smart guns." Those so inclined can listen and chat at the program site, or tune in at Genesis Communications Network (select Channel 5).

We're the Only Ones 'A Shot in the Dark' Enough

The officer later said firearms training 20 days prior might have been a contributing factor to muscle memory [More]
Yeah, muscle memory ... that's the ticket!

I wonder if the situation were reversed and the victim had used that excuse if he could count on the same outcome:
A statement released by the police said based on the findings of the investigation, no further disciplinary action was taken.

4 Out of 4 Doctors Agree!

John Edeen, MD, Sean D. Brodale, DO, R. B. Young, MD and Timothy Wheeler, MD, all left positive, value-adding comments under my latest.  [More]

Despite it being an open forum, not one of the anti-gun "professionals" I took on has seen fit to engage, probably because they know they'd be further exposed as the agenda frauds they are.

Conflict of Interest,Much?

Lauren Reeder, one of the prosecutors in the Harris County district attorney’s office, revealed last August that she was a member of the board of directors for the Planned Parenthood affiliate that was targeted by Daleiden. [More]
Be nice to have 'the law" be your own personal revenge machine, wouldn't it?

Sounds to me like bar investigations of more than one person in that office are in order...

Dispatch from the Front Lines

We have an incredible opportunity this year to show the rest of our nation that Nevada supports gun rights. Our mission: prove the overwhelming opposition for Bloomberg’s Universal Background Check initiative in Nevada with a NO vote in the November election. This is where you, our supporters, come in. I know that each of you are already well versed in this issue; you know the facts and know that this ballot measure is impractical. But there are other Nevadans who are simply misinformed, and are blindly guided by Bloomberg’s army. It’s our duty to present them with the truth. [More]
Not from Nevada?  Hey,if Bloomberg wins there, he'll be moving his offense to your AO soon enough.

Would it be easier to prevent an approaching asteroid hit from far out, where a nudge can deflect it enough to miss, or just ignore even trying and wait until it enters the atmosphere to react?

We're the Only Ones Unjudged Enough

A disagreement over a Douglas County judge’s controversial courtroom ban on guns continues after officers who refused to disarm weren’t called to testify in court. [More]
Cool. Can I refuse to testify using the same grounds?

And what's Judge Gleason prepared to do should someone decide his policy reads like an invitation? Especially since anyone coming in to save him will find themselves subject to later arrest...

It's a Small World After All

They claim the companies colluded to break the law by using temporary H-1B visas to bring in immigrant workers, knowing that Americans would be displaced. [More]
Hey, it's the American way. It's not only cheaper than fixing the problems the establishment has created here, when the long game plays out we'll see the mother of all fundamental transformations.

We're the Only Ones Grading Enough

A new Massachusetts gun permit essay rule has Second Amendment supporters seeing red. Gun owners in the state must now write an essay which will be “graded” for approval by the police chief before a carry permit can be issued. A hefty firearms training price tag up to $1,100 will also be levied against those attempting to exercise their right to bear arms in the city of Lowell. [More]
I can think of some words I'd like to write to Chief Taylor and the Council.
