So Much for Letting the Punishment Fit the Crime

5 Year Sentence Recommended For Former Baltimore Mayor [More]

Curious.

Wayne Fincher got 6½ and all he did was exercise a right.

So Northam Actually Did Something Right?

Northam turned down two Department of Justice grants through the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative, because the state refused to comply with DOJ federal immigration policies. [More]

What, you mean the kind used to destroy Wayne Fincher's life?

Our fool "leaders" would have us believe these Intolerable Acts they've bamboozled their followers into applauding can't be used against gun owners who choose fidelity to the Bill of Rights over "law and order" rah-rah.

On top of that, they undermine the truth that citizen disarmament edicts don't work and embrace the gun-grabber mantra that they do.

Right, But for the Wrong Reasons

"The grants were awarded to the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to serve as the fiscal agent for the 2018 Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN) awards for the Eastern and Western Districts of the state of Virginia." [More]

Good. Project Safe Neighborhoods is what was used to destroy Wayne Fincher's life. I wish the "law and order" types ostensibly on "our side" would get their heads out of their @$$es on how these edicts can blow up in our faces.

Patriot Passing a Reminder of Harsh Punishments for Defying Gun Infringements

That’s because I can’t help but note how fractured the “gun community” is, and how little support the boat-rockers can expect. If every one of us did what Fincher did, there would be no more gun control laws in this country. Because we will not stand up en masse, any one of us who does will be cut down. [More]

Rest in peace, Wayne Fincher.

Sad News

I'm told Wayne Fincher has died.

If I can find out more I'll do a memorial piece.

Kate Steinle’s acquitted killer wants gun conviction dropped, too – and he might get it [More]

Yeah, I mean, it's not like he's Wayne Fincher or anybody...

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

A Mexican man acquitted of murder in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman that sparked a national immigration debate was sentenced to time served for illegal gun possession Friday. [More]

At least Wayne Fincher and David Olofson got what was comin' to 'em!

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime?

Florida man gets 30 months for stealing over 100 firearms from gun shops [More]

Just the two B&Es are separate felonies under Florida law. Each stolen gun is its own felony.

How nice to know Wayne Fincher got six-and-a-half years and wasn't granted supervised furlough for his wife's funeral for the grave crime of believing the Second Amendment means what it says.

I guess the rulers fear challenges to their authority more than cultured excuses to maintain and increase it.

"Dangerous and Unusual"

In yesterday's Oath Keepers piece on Firearms Freedom Acts, I talked briefly about Wayne Fincher, including a link to all the WarOnGuns coverage during the years-long ordeal he will never get over.

Gary Marbut calls my attention to his analysis of the "dangerous and unusual" weapons application in Heller and Fincher.

He also tells me the MSSA v. Holder pleadings are at the FFA site, and they may be of use to the Kansas legal team. I can try to approach them, but if anyone has contacts in that case, it would probably be more effective if someone they know so advises them.

Corruption Case

Ex-state Sen. Leland Yee gets 5 years in prison in corruption case [More]

Yep, that is corrupt, noting what the evil, gun-grabbing criminal son of a bitch was guilty of, and that patriot Wayne Fincher got more time than that, and all he did was dare to claim his right.

Humane and Ubiquitous

And remember, for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day. [More]

Besides, the Eighth Amendment is almost as passé as the Second.  Just ask Wayne Fincher and the Reeses.

I wonder if everyone involved believes the day will never come when a bit of mercy might be appreciated...

Fair is Fair

Medical Marijuana Patients Can't Bring Up Drug's Medical Use In Federal Trial [More]

Well, Wayne Fincher wasn't allowed to bring up Constitutional arguments and matters of law, so at least they're consistent...

Civil Disobedience, Eh?

“I broke the law, I did it on purpose. What I was challenging was the law wasn’t valid in the first place,” said Mr. Montague in an interview Tuesday night. He said he will likely appeal, as “it’s hard to turn and walk away from [a value of] over $100,000.” He said he is “penniless," but that there was a more basic principle at stake than money. [More]

He's right, you know. And I'm then reminded of a line from "Patton"...

I guess the "lesson" of Wayne Fincher was pretty clear--particularly the one about how the game was rigged and how few gun owners lifted a finger to help, even to the point of spreading the word.


Tangentially related: Just as a matter of survivable  tactics, you don't want your home to be a last stand, where you have no say in a choice of time or place.

I wish I knew a way to help this guy that would make a difference.

We're the Only Ones Deal-Making Enough

As a part of the plea deal, the indictment against Emmert was dismissed and he avoided trial on felony charges of possession of an unregistered machine gun and possession of a machine gun. [More]

I'm sure Wayne Fincher will be happy to hear that "law enforcement" gets special treatment. Even after they udderly discredit themselves.

Durbin shows as much respect for First Amendment as he does for Second

Think who it was who not only filed the initial reports on Fast and Furious “gunwalking,” but who cajoled and wheedled and begged for almost two months to get the media and political establishment to notice. Now recall who did not think the story was particularly noteworthy. 

Reflect on the virtual media blackout for updates on the case of the Reese family. And then remember what they didn’t tell you about John Shipley, or David Olofson, or Lawrence Mirsky or many others.

And if you’ve never heard of Wayne Fincher, don’t blame me. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes that what "legitimate media" doesn't report is often as telling as what it does (and how it does it). That "progressive" politicians want to use the power of the state against those it does not favor should be all we need to know about their intentions, and should also be a pretty good indicator of why they demand control of all the guns.

This Time It's Personal

Editorial: Gun-control debate is personal for Chicagoans [More]

You don't think it's personal for the Reese family?

You don't think it's personal for the Shipleys?

You don't think it's personal for David Olofson?

How about Brian Aitken or Keith Pantaleon or Nathan Haddad?

Do you think it might just be personal for Wayne Fincher?

It's even personal for me, you contemptible Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist, you sanctimonious, blood-dancing sob sister stool sample hiding behind editorial anonymity.

Keep trying to impose your corrupt Chi-Town machine thuggery on men who would be free, and some day it might just get personal for you.

We Are the Champions

“I know people will criticize us for not taking these guys down immediately,” Champion told the paper. “But we weren’t sure what they were up to.” [More]

What, delivering 40 guns without serial numbers to an informant didn't give you a clue?

Funny no one had such uncertainties about what Wayne Fincher was "up to."  Or David Olofson. Or...

All You Need to Know

The prosecutor added that constitutional issues "should not be considered." [More]

You can't bring up the Constitution! This is a court of law! (Just ask Wayne Fincher.)


Similar "logic":

"Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

All they need to know:

We shall overcome.

Jury Finds FBI's Shipley Guilty on Gun Charges

As heartbreaking as that is, I can't help but think about other Americans taken from their families by an enforcement apparatus Shipley has been a part of—men like Wayne Fincher or David Olofson, who harmed no one, but who nonetheless ran afoul of edicts trampling a proscription that could not be more clear...
