Notes from the Resistance...
Black lawmakers are demanding a police investigation of a banner held at Tuesday's run rights rally in the state Capitol.Zoinks! Did they pass out Scooby Snacks?
Damon Wells and his home appear no longer safe.I should say, not, "reporter" Gabriel Baird. Don't you read your own newspaper?
The .40-caliber handgun that Wells carries legally for defense may not be enough to protect the 25-year-old man and his home in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.
Police took a .40-caliber Smith and Wesson firearm from Wells as evidence, the police report shows.So now the poor guy's got a vengeful mob of thug apologists terrorizing him, and no way to protect himself.
Holmgren said, "We're not saying that we want citizens to go out there and arm themselves and take the law into their own hands. We want citizens to be good witnesses, to be good report-takers and to identify suspects."
Thieves broke into a Utah County Sheriff's vehicle early Tuesday morning in Lehi and stole two very dangerous assault weapons that authorities fear could be used in other crimes.Left unsaid is why "peace officers" need what the antis continually describe as "weapons of war" and "killing machines." I woupldn't be surprised to find a "bullet hose" or two in there somewhere. But did you catch what Harris said? That's "anybody in the public," not just the thieves they provided this grand no-mental-health-or-criminal-background-check-required opportunity to.
"We're very worried because we don't want any weapon getting into the hands of anybody in the public because, you are looking at a sawed off shotgun and an assault rifle," said Utah County Public Information Officer Dennis Harris as he looked at the damaged vehicle.
In the right hands police said these weapons protect the public, but in the wrong hands they present a major threat.And we all know "the right hands" are "Only Ones" hands.
By eliminating pistol purchase permits and allowing only those of us with a CCW to purchase a handgun, there will be no more guns sold legally to those with a history of mental problems who have not yet committed their first crime. And it should be some consolation to the gun control crowd that it takes about 90 days to obtain a CCW in North Carolina.Good Lord. This is what Mike S. Adams considers a "rebuttal" to an anti-gun editorial?
Someone purposely set a fire that destroyed the office area of the Washington County Militia last week, County Fire Marshal John Jenkins said Tuesday.Well, that was no surprise.
Jenkins would not comment on what evidence led him to suspect arson at the structure southeast of Fayetteville. No other information will be released, he said.
Do you know where i can get a copy of the congressional hearings on the national firearms of 1934? Or the subcommittee hearings of the national firearms act of 1934? I'm trying to find a copy of it for my dad and I can't seem to find a copy of it.They may only exist in an archive--information will be appreciated.
That lesson is this: if a suicide bomber walks into a crowded market in Iraq and blows himself up along with 32 innocent bystanders, it is terrorism. If the same thing happens in America, it is not. Americans — and by extension anyone in the country — enjoy a constitutional right to bear arms. However anachronistic this may seem to outsiders given that the days of frontiersmen and citizens’ militias are long past, there still remains a powerful lobby, funded by the weaponry manufacturers themselves, that defends what it claims is a fundamental right.The Saudi Arabians lecture us on anachronisms. They say we'd be safer if we'd only disarm.
[Affidavit] No. 1.Lexington, April 25, 1775.
We, Solomon Brown, Jonathan Loring, and Elijah Sanderson, all of lawful Age, and of Lexington, in the County of Middlesex, and Collony of the Massachusett Bay, in New England, do testifie and declare, that on the evening of the Eighteenth of April, Instant, being on the Road between Concord and Lexington, and all of us mounted on Horses, we were, about ten of the Clock, suddenly surprized by nine Persons, whom we took to be Regular Officers, who Rode up to us, mounted and armed, each having a Pistol in His Hand, and after Putting Pistols to our Breasts, and seizing the Bridles of our Horses, they swore, that if we stirred another step, we should be all Dead Men, upon which we surrendered our selves. They Detained us until Two o'Clock the next morning, in which time they searched and greatly abused us; having first enquired about the Magazine at Concord, whether any Guards were posted there, and whether the bridges were up, and said four or five Regiments of Regulars would be in Possession of the stores soon; they then brought us back to Lexington, eat the Horses Bridles and Girts, turned them Loose, and then Left us.
Three female minority police officers claim they were insulted with the same language radio host Don Imus used. But they said the abuse came from fellow officers.
One of Ms. Cleland's chief concerns, however, is what happens after the initial sale.
The same gun that she sells to a customer can be resold virtually without scrutiny and without a trace in five minutes, five days, or five years.
A private individual also can sell a handgun at the ever-popular gun shows around the state without paperwork or scrutiny. Federal firearms license holders and dealers at the same shows, however, do have to fill out the forms.
"It's a loophole. We do all this paperwork, but to me that is the big loophole. We're regulated to the teeth, but then we have this huge gray area where people just go out and sell them without keeping any records," Mrs. Cleland said. "It makes it look like we're controlling guns, but we're not. That's what we're dealing with, with the Virginia Tech thing. It's not the gun issue but that the system failed."
On Friday, The Washington Post reported on the strange coalition. "With the Virginia Tech shootings resurrecting calls for tighter gun controls," the Post said, "the National Rifle Association has begun negotiations with senior Democrats over legislation to bolster the national background-check system."
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), who was once on the NRA Board of Directors but resigned when he supported and voted for the Clinton semi-auto ban in 1994, is reported to be "leading talks with the powerful gun lobby in hopes of producing a deal [soon]," Democratic aides and lawmakers told the newspaper.
Rep. McCarthy admitted to the Post that her "crusades" for more gun control have made her voice "toxic" in gun circles. "So Dingell is handling negotiations with the NRA," the newspaper reported. "Dingell is also in talks with Sens. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (Wis.), the senior Republican on the House Judiciary Committee."
Four days after the fact--when the whole country is furiously debating the impact of the Virginia tech shootings on the Second Amendment--there's still no leadership from our self-proclaimed leaders? All we get are plausibly deniable signals sent through seconds that they'd endorse an expansion of NICS if only there were some way to work around privacy protections?
Winset said he gave students a disclaimer before he started his Virginia Tech re-enactment, which involved him pointing a Magic Marker at students and saying, “Pow.” He then had another student shoot him with an imaginary gun to make the point that Cho could have been stopped by another student with a firearm.Good thing he didn't try this with an Airsoft pistol--there would have been mass intestinal evacuations from the administration.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A bloody, bullet-filled weekend left 11 people dead across the city, where drugs and disrespect have trumped brotherly love and the murder rate is on pace to be the highest in a decade.C'mon, criminals. NRA dares you to carry a gun.
To THE COMMITTEE OF SAFETY OF NEW YORK New York, April 24, 1776.
Gentn: It being necessary, that I should know the number of Troops to compose the Army here, I must request the favor of your Honble. body, to inform me, how many Regiments are raising in this Province for the Continental Service, by order of Congress, and what their state is, as to Men and Arms. From the Accounts I have had, I have reason to fear there is a great dificiency in the latter...
Three fairly small words. One massively important concept.Joe's Crabby Shack pegs it: You're either a sovereign individual with the imagination and courage to act independently or you're just a part of the herd. This is really what it all distills into. This is what "liberty" means, and it's why the "collective rights" revisionists are so wrong.
