“Another CeaseFire employee was sentenced to Cook County boot camp in 2011 for possession of a machine gun/automatic weapon,” the report continues. “Since 2010, five other CeaseFire employees have been sentenced to federal prison -- and a sixth was sentenced to probation -- in drug cases.” [More]If Chi-town gang members and other criminals want us to give up our guns, what could possibly go wrong? After all, they’re on the same side as the Demanding Moms, the Bradys, and the Bloomberg Everytowners, not to mention the official Democrat Party platform and the Obama administration.

CeaseFire PA Director's Watch: 01/19/08
I hinted yesterday that we'd be celebrating something today. If a human year is like seven years to a dog, then today is the first anniversary--in dog years--of CeaseFire PA's failure to acknowledge Professor Alexander Tristan Riley on it's Board of Director's page.
So in commemoration of this special occasion, I hope you'll join me in congratulating them on reaching this milestone: It's probably the biggest achievement they've ever accomplished, so feel free to sign the card and leave your special wishes for them below.
Happy Doggiversary, ya crazy mutts you...Funny though. I haven't heard much yapping from either them or Alex lately, have you...?

CeaseFire PA Director's Watch: 01/16/08
Let's have a contest:
Will CeaseFire PA formally welcome professor Alexander Tristan Riley into their hallowed ranks by updating their director's website to include his name, will they or he issue some statement saying he cannot accept the position due to whatever reason, or will they all just continue to ignore this?
If it turns out to be one of the first two possibilities, either listing him or disaffiliating from him, what Day Number do you think it will happen on?

CeaseFire PA Director's Watch: 01/12/08
Why don't you CeaseFire PA people just be honest and...uh...wait a minute, I forgot who I was speaking to.
Never mind.

Lies, Damned Lies and Ceasefire Claims
"I have no problem with people selling normal guns, but I see no need for assault weapons," Ceasefire president Lisa Delity tells WJZ's Peggy Lee.Pray you never do, Lisa. Because the people who have seen a need will tell you it's not an experience they're eager to repeat, but they're glad they had them when they needed them.
"They kill many people, especially police officers and FBI agents, but they kill them very fast."
The study states more than 700 assault rifles were traced to crimes in the state from 1998 to 2001.
How many "police and FBI agents," Lisa? I notice the "authorized journalists" left that one untouched.
Oh, and Lisa--that "study" you're relying on: it recorded traces when precisely what you're calling for--a ban--was in effect.
Not that we'd expect the watchdogs of liberty to point that inconvenient truth out, either.

The Magic Kingdom Scofflaw
[My post about the toy gun ban in NY made me recall this article, which I wrote 5 years ago. Chances are, most WarOnGuns visitors haven't seen it.]
It doesn't seem out of line to ask what the hell Disney CEO Michael Eisner is doing selling toy guns in the first place. After all, in his role as advisory panelist for the anti-self-defense organization CeaseFire (a group with the stated goal of promoting "handgun-free homes and families" through TV commercials and print ads with the message that lawful gun ownership poses a threat to society), you'd think he'd do everything in his power to teach children that guns are not playthings. Assuming, of course, that he places principle ahead of profits.
It also seems fitting to ask why, given his affinity for promoting hysterical and liberty-destroying gun control laws that the rest of us must abide by, Mr. Eisner's flagship theme park is flouting California law and selling ILLEGAL toy guns. And why the authorities tasked with enforcing such things are doing nothing about it.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom! As we pass through the gates of Frontier Land, we see one of the more popular attractions, as evidenced by another interminable Disneyland queue, the Shootin' Exposition.
"There's nothing like a little target practice 'on the range' to make you feel like a real Old West sharpshooter," advises the promotional literature.
"Davy Crockett would be proud," it continues. How Mr. Eisner's citizen disarmament colleagues over at CeaseFire would feel about it remains unsaid.
"*Additional charge," the fine print reminds Mr. Eisner's "guests."
And when you're done plinking targets, you can saunter on over to the Pioneer Mercantile, "a gold mine for young pioneers, this shop is filled with goodies inspired by American folk heroes."
Like guns. Toy guns. Illegal toy guns.
Racks of 'em, and nicely crafted pieces of work they are, too, with real wood stocks and polished metal barrels. There are flintlock-style pistols and frontier rifles, some with Indian feathers, and even one model that looks suspiciously like a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun.
It's a shame the aesthetics of these fine faux firearms are spoiled by the ugly orange plastic caps that terminate each muzzle, but then, how would it look if Little Johnny got blown away by some well meaning peace officer who mistook him for a midget crack dealer in a "Mouseketeer" cap?
But there's the rub. Because nowadays, thanks to the idiots in the California Legislature and their supporters like Michael Eisner, orange caps are not enough. Effective January 1 of this year, in order for such toys to be compliant with state law, "the coloration of the entire exterior surface of the device [must be] bright orange or bright green, either singly or in combination."
Accordingly, "Section 417.2 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 417.2. (a) Any person who, for commercial purposes, purchases, sells, manufactures, ships, transports distributes, or receives, by mail order or in any other manner, an imitation firearm except as permitted by this section shall be liable for a civil fine in an action brought by the city attorney of the city or the district attorney of the county of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each violation."
Each violation.
So do the math. Disneyland appears to have been in violation of the amended Penal Code for in excess of two weeks. And finding out how many violations have occurred shouldn't be difficult at all; I imagine a simple subpoena for sales receipts involving affected stock numbers would do the trick nicely.
That is, providing anyone from the DA or City Attorney's office has the stones to go up against the jewel in Anaheim's economic crown, and the considerable political leverage the Disney organization wields at the local, state and national level.
Still, as risky as it seems, some smart prosecutor may figure out that this is a slam-dunk case, one that can build name recognition and boost a career to prominence. After all, it's not like Disney can claim ignorance of the law, especially with their army of in-house and retained lawyers and lobbyists. Besides which, their hometown paper, the Orange County Register ran a feature on the new regulations just a week after they went into effect.
While it may be conceivable that a mom and pop toy store in Little Saigon might not be clued into these new arcane requirements, it is hardly believable that Disney senior executives and legal counsel are in the dark. And it's not like they can claim their imitation guns aren't "realistic" enough to be included; the muzzle caps clearly demonstrate a legal awareness that these toys fall within the jurisdiction of such laws.
Nope, all it would really take is for some ambitious prosecutor to take a few hours, drive over to the Magic Kingdom and stroll over to Pioneer Mercantile in Frontierland. One quick look at the on-floor inventory should give him all the authority he needs to seal the place and obtain a subpoena.
And then, just for good measure, maybe he'd like to take a brief detour over to Adventure Land, and visit the Indiana Jones Adventure Outlet, where he can "unearth some true finds, like Indy hats, leather jackets and T-shirts, Egyptian artifacts, jewelry, and more."
More illegal toy guns.
Courtesy of the Magic Kingdom Scofflaw, who belies the very laws he endorses, and demonstrates for all to see that when toy guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have toy guns.
[Within weeks after this article appeared on KeepAndBearArms.com, the guns were pulled from the shelves at Disneyland--I'm not claiming this is why, but it is a definite coincidence.]

A Bit of Lag Time, Perhaps?
Metro Philadelphia, Nov, 29, 2007:
Huh. Notice anything missing?
Considering they've had over a month now, and with all that computer expertise in their corner, I think they'd at least be able to update a webpage to include their new directors.
Wonder what the holdup is? I'd think anyone fortunate enough to align themselves with a distinguished member of academia would lose no time publicly capitalizing on that. Surely they're proud of it?
Oh well, I'm sure they'll take care of the oversight and advertise their new affiliation soon into the New Year after everybody's back from the holidays, don't you think? In the mean time, just to make sure they don't forget, perhaps the following daily reminder might be helpful?
...Riley, a sociologist and new member of CeaseFire PA’s board of directors.Ceasefire PA's Board of Directors page, as of today:
The statewide gun-control group, arguably Pennsylvania’s most visible and expansive, added four new board members yesterday.

The One Thing That's Missing...
Begin transcript about half-way down page:
Why, you ask?
Since they're "prohibited persons," how can you compel them to incriminate themselves if their gun is stolen? And since they're "prohibited persons," they can't "legally" own guns in the first place.
Finder, along with a group called Ceasefire PA has launched a grassroots campaign to get local governments to sign on to what's become a highly controversial law called "Lost and Stolen Ordinances." Supporters of gun rights hate it. The ordinances require gun owners to report if their weapons have been lost or stolen usually within 24 hours. [More]The one thing that's never mentioned in this--and I wish the pro-gun people they interview would pick up on this--is there is one group that will always be immune to these stupid edicts: the criminals who are causing the problem.

Group Used Actors for NYC Gun Store Facade
“Actors are interviewed on camera in a fake gun store,” the permits’ scene descriptions reveal. [More]We knew the store was fake and the "proprietor" was an actor. My Freedom of Information request produced the permits showing the "customers' were actors as well. So when States United Against Gun Violence aka CeaseFire tells us it was "a hidden camera social experiment to debunk safety myths," the only myth that's been debunked here is their sneaky con job attempt at manipulation.
Also, it seems no paperwork was required to control all that "inventory," which, per New York law, also applies to "prop guns."
Includes links to permits and correspondence.

The Walking Red
“The bills are dead, they just don’t know it,” said Eileen McCarron, president of Colorado Ceasefire, who referred to the gun measures as “zombie bills” at a news conference prior to the bills being heard in committee.
“The people who are here today are on the front lines against the zombie apocalypse,” McCarron quipped. [More]If there's one thing a collectivist monopoly of violence zealot knows about, it's the dead.
She does realize the survivors are armed and fighting for their lives with grim determination, right? And what it takes to stop a zombie?

CeaseFire PA Director's Watch Weekly Update
I forgot to put this up yesterday--guess I'll need to get used to a weekly, rather than daily schedule.
Looks like ATR is still persona non grata...but the good thing is, he's sure been quiet lately...
I wonder if the university told him to put a lid on it...?

‘Gun shop’ wasn’t only thing fake in CeaseFire ‘social experiment’ PSA
It had previously been known that the “gun store proprietor” behind the counter was an actor -- and one who has previously made a living glorifying fake “gun violence” -- but up until now, speculation on if the “customers” were also plants has been just that. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report provides another venue to expose the deceptive tactics of the AstroTurf gungrabbers in their desperation to influence public opinion.

What's in a Name?
CeaseFire Maryland...failed to file the corporate personal property returns as required by state law.So by law, they forfeited the state charters of both that name and also Marylanders Against Handgun Abuse, which were promptly picked up and registered by pro-RKBA activists. It also upsets a gubernatorial appointment to the Maryland Handgun Roster Board.
Read the whole thing. What a hoot.
Excellent heads-up action from the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore!
