Notes from the Resistance...
Contrary to your assertion, Ed, there is a way to fight back, and your viewers would do well to know about it. Because while some will advise to just “give them what they want,” a fair question might be “What if what they want is to kill you after they have the money?”
[T]he debate is not about guns. It is about freedom. And the wheel has come full circle. Our generation must study politics that we may restore the liberty that our parents and grandparents expect us to pass on to our children and grandchildren.I've met the man. I had the opportunity to speak with him in person. I'm convinced he's the real deal.
If we fail, what history will demand of our children and grandchildren, in a society where their only right is to their own thoughts, is simply unthinkable. And be assured, history will find it unforgivable. A generation that is handed the most precious gift in all the universe – freedom – and throws it away -- deserves to be reviled by every generation that follows – and will be, even though the only right left to them is their own thoughts.
The second amendment of the constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. As the specter of gun violence continues in our workplaces, roads and schools, the question keeps arising: do guns keep you safe, or just increase the level of violence?Opposing Views Editor Edgar Acosta sent this to me and figured WarOnGuns readers would be interested. I agree.
An Obama assassination attempt has been disrupted by the ATF. Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said today.Except the owner of the gun shop they were planning to hit didn't seem to have much fear of them:
"They would never got 'em without somebody getting shot," Mitchell said, laughing.
Laughing. He takes these mutts real seriously.
It looks like all BATFU's trawling netted a couple of low-grade imbeciles, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old, I believe what the gungrabbers refer to as "children" when it suits their statistics-padding purposes, evoking heart-rending images of little Johnny and Susie and a nightstand tragedy.
But what this does is allows them to generate good press, hell, Hollywood adventure press, something "Waco Jim" Cavenaugh has learned how to do since his namesake fiasco backfired. We just saw it the other day with the Mongols, and now this.
Ain't it curious how they're all of a sudden (and in the wake of some high-profile jackbooted incompetence) riding in like heroes.
Gee, I wonder if this report by David Hardy has any bearing?
The ATF director has just been given a report from the Inspector General that is pretty devastating. MAJOR screwups, their internal affairs refusing to check out complaints about those, etc.. So now offices are being told to generate favorable publicity, quickly, because this is going to get out sometime soon.Ya think?
Thy will be done...And thy Kingdom come.
“The two local police officers at the scene didn't seem to want to get their shoes wet and just left us to it. It was disgusting.”Just what do these people think the "Only Ones" are being paid for?
Those who favor gun control fall into two basic groups. The hard core who's true goal is "people control" and those who are just ignorant on the subject and only know what they hear in the media.Yeah, evil and ignorance. Enemies of freedom worship the first and count on the second.
Metrorail riders will soon have to open their bags for inspection under a new program announced Monday.Ah, Catoe! Wasn't it your boss who said "I suspect everyone and I suspect no one"?
The transit agency has posted signs in Metro stations, warning riders about the planned random bag searches...
"I have come to the conclusion that random inspections work," said John Catoe, Metro's General Manager. "An individual will not know if they're going to be checked if they're intending on being a threat to our system."
Stop and think about, what good does it do to fire a trooper if you really think he's dangerous?OK, I stopped and I thought.
OUTRAGE: NJ Cop Puts CBS 2 Cameraman In ChokeholdGotta love it. When "Only Ones" and "Authorized Journalists" collide.

General Sir William Howe, new Commander-in-Chief of the British army, issues a proclamation to the American residents of Boston forbidding any person from leaving the city on pain of death. He also orders citizens to organize into military companies in order to aid in the "defense" of their city.
They have checkboxes now for the “Yes/No” question section.Which means we can now expect BATFU to close a dealer down for "willful violations" if he accepts "X" instead of "✔"...
The message for which those of us in the pro-Second Amendment camp are vilified is no more complicated than this: Each of us has a right not to be hurt by someone else, and if someone tries to hurt us, we have a right to protect ourselves.
The corollary to this fundamental truth is equally simple: We cannot effectively protect ourselves without possessing the means of defense.
Every police force in the UK is to be equipped with mobile fingerprint scanners - handheld devices that allow police to carry out identity checks on people in the street.And if you'll step over here, we're going to need a urine sample, and let me just slip on this latex glove...
NRA endorses Dem HalvorsonI guess I just must be untrainable.
Train for Change with Obama and Halvorson!
Nathaniel Rackeem Rivers initially told police he was carrying a loaded weapon to the Hub’s gun-buyback program on May 25.Next time, don't act like a jackass and you might get away with it.
I WAS pleased to see that Adrian Walker's Oct. 21 column ("Waging a gun battle," City & Region) gave important attention to my home rule petition to close a loophole in our gun laws by increasing penalties for illegal guns found in homes."Illegal" means me 'n my boys won't give you permission, or you just got tired of jumping through all the insane hoops we've put up to discourage you (and amuse ourselves that you actually put up with our ****).
There is no one more persistent than a liberal with a bad idea. He knows his intellectual and moral superiority make him infallible, so he easily convinces himself there is nothing wrong with his idea; it is the world that is mistaken Even the facts cannot be the facts when they disagree with his idea. So he forges ahead against all reason, attempting to remake the world until it accepts he was correct all along.That's because, in urban areas anyway, it gets their name in the paper, it gets them money and it gets them reelected. And it gives them cover from the fact that it's there policies that feed the problem, which is what they're counting on if they want to keep tapping into that sweet publicity, money and power.
Which brings me to the subject of gun bans. As useless as bans have proven, liberal politicians will raise the subject over and over.
Former United Nations ambassador Andrew Young, an advocate for peace around the world, is now taking aim at gun violence in the U.S. through a new TV documentary that focuses on the rapper T.I. — a young man making amends for federal firearms offenses. [More]In other words, T.I., you poetic genius and inspiration to young people everywhere, you got caught being a thug and now you'll sell out the birthright of your countrymen who aren't in order to save your sorry hind end?
