“Pacman to Ditka: “From my cold, dead hands!”...This one is making the rounds in the gun community and it seems some in our ranks are eating it up.
Mr. Ditka’s proposal to strip all professional football players of their God-given right to self-defense is nothing less than communism.”
On 02 December 1775, John Mayfield of Browns Creek, a Ninety-Six District militia captain serving under Colonel Thomas Fletchall, was captured along with several other officers at McLaurins Store in the Upper Saluda region. The commander of the Whig forces that captured Mayfield was Colonel Richard Richardson, who, shortly after the capture, wrote a letter to the ad hoc Whig Council or Committee of Public Safety in Charles Town (Charleston).
Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford arrested on federal chargesWhat is it with these guys...?
[O]ne of my first concerns involved police arresting gun owners who open carry--a legal practice that can still result in dangerous encounters with law enforcement officers who may not know that (or may know and act anyway).
"It's purely an issue of safety," Woznick said. He said he isn't able to test residents "to make sure that their aim is straight and true."We all know average citizens are just too incompetent to safely handle dangerous and powerful assault air rifles. Besides, with all the documentation we've amassed here at WarOnGuns, what kind of squirrely person wouldn't place total faith in the "Only Ones" to protect their nuts?
The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.I can't help but wonder what kind of paranoid fool/disloyal American would even worry about that. Besides, if you really want to help, just go about your business and muster on over to the mall.
Saying Texas firearm laws are overly restrictive, a group of gun advocates is lobbying state lawmakers to permit wearing handguns in plain view.Y'know, if everybody just did it, what could they do about it?
Our problem is that nobody will--because they know they'd stand alone--and even be condemned by the majority of their fellow gun owners for making "us" all look bad.Burress, the police said, did not have a permit to carry a gun in New York City. A law enforcement official said that the gun, a Glock semiautomatic pistol, was recovered at Burress’s home in Totowa, N.J.How did NYC get authority to do that?
Sen. Jenny Oropeza, who has already passed a bill that bans smoking in a car with children, is now trying to extend the ban to the state's parks and beaches.See, litter laws aren't enough. They never are. If you don't behave in ways we don't approve, well, you'll either bend to our will or we'll ultimately kill you if you defy us hard enough.
[T]he first thing I want to know is who the hell gave Macy's the authority to lock people in their store?Point taken, but actually, the first thing I'd want to know is who the hell does Macy's have who could stop me if I decided to use all means at my disposal to go through their frickin' glass door?
I have this quote direct from Sarah Brady in a letter addressed to me:Alan Korwin reveals some early Brady plans..."On Election Day, we helped deliver a strong victory for President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice-President-Elect Joe Biden. They will be two of the most powerful allies we have ever had."
...we go nowhere unarmed.Everyone realizes we live in a dangerous world, right?
The family of Andreas Liveras, 73, the only known British fatality, told The Sunday Telegraph how he courageously evaded gunmen for eight hours in the Taj Mahal Palace hotel as he frantically tried to reassure his family that he was safe.The irony should not go unnoticed.
The left-hand side of this broadsheet prints a December 1, 1775 resolution by the Massachusetts Provincial Congress mustering the militia “without Delay…to serve in the American Army.” Five columns of enlistment quotas, broken down by county and town, follow. The right-hand side prints an enlistment agreement, followed by the signatures of the eight enlistees.
And perhaps the most troubling question to emerge for the Indian authorities was how, if official estimates are accurate, just 10 gunmen could have caused so much carnage and repelled Indian security forces for more than three days in three different buildings....by exploiting a disarmed victim pool...
The Oberoi Group employs many plainclothes security officers in its hotels, but these are unarmed, Oberoi said. Obtaining a license for even a single officer to carry a gun is extremely difficult in India, which has tight gun control laws.So much for relying on the "Only Ones."
Yet even security guards armed with handguns might hesitate to resist an assault by heavily armed terrorists who have a detailed knowledge of the hotel's layout, as was the case at the Oberoi and Taj.
Pros deride terrible tactics and poor equipment in face of Mumbai crisisFortunately, the elites and well-connected were taken care of:
"Last night, as the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I had hoped never ever to be in a situation to do. Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow. For a very disturbed sleep," the megastar wrote on his blog.This is a nearly laboratory-perfect example of "gun control" in practice. The lesson is just this clear, just this direct: Disarming people renders them defenseless. Predators don't obey disarmament edicts. Authorities can't prevent atrocities, only respond to them.
Mumbai photographer: I wish I'd had a gun, not a camera. Armed police would not fire backThat's odd--the latest Brady News Release is silent on the whole affair, focusing instead on doing what they do best--recycling and magnifying old lies to further erode the foundations of Liberty.
Cape Ann is a very open Harbour and accessible to large Ships, which made me immediately send off, Col: Glover and Mr. Palfrey, with orders to raise the Minute Men and Militia of that part of the Country, to have the Cargo landed without Loss of Time and guarded up to this Camp; this I hope they will be able to effect, before it is known to the Enemy what port she is carried into...
...is more important than squarely addressing the controversy of their creation, because there are no announcements on the H-S Precision website. It makes me wonder about the reliability of reports I've read that say someone high up in the company is friends with Lon Horiuchi.“I think the obvious question everyone has is who takes loaded weapons into a Toys R Us?” Ferguson said. “I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper.Almost, Fergie, old bean. You came up with the obvious answer. Your question needs work.
Somali pirates hijacked a chemical tanker with dozens of Indian crew members Friday and a helicopter rescued three British security guards who had jumped into the sea, officials said.See, that's the answer to the age-old question "Who will guard the guards?"
