GOA Emergency Alert on Land Bill

Gun Owners of America does not sound the "Emergency alarm" often -- and when we do, we mean it.

Remember the massive land bill, S. 22, that passed out of the Senate last month?

It was expected to pass quickly in the House, but your opposition to an expansion of gun control contained in the bill forced it to be pulled from the floor.

GOA has just learned that after some backroom deals, the bill is headed to the floor WEDNESDAY MORNING, without any amendments to truly protect your Second Amendment rights on National Park Service (NPS) land. [More]

Go. Read. Act.

Will Alabama Shooter Bring 'Assault Weapon' Ban to Front Burner?

Gun owners are right to wonder if this is the event that will be the catalyst for making a new 'assault weapon' ban a priority. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks if this will be the triggering event.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Please read and share.

UPDATE: Bloomberg News is reporting the killer "fired about 30 rounds from an automatic weapon..." Informed gun owners will understand the significance of this. Did the reporter get it right, or is this more intentional or uninformed misreporting?

This Day in History: March 11

Supposing there was a real necessity of your retreating from New Rochelle, you certainly ought to have returned immediately upon the Enemy's dropping their design, if they ever had any, of attacking you; All accounts from your Quarters complain loudly of this retreat, as a most injudicious Step, as it gave fresh Spirits to the disaffected and retarded the removal of Forage by the Convention of New York, the very end that your Troops were principally intended to answer.

We're the Only Ones Reamed Enough

A federal judge delivered a blistering rebuke to police superintendant [sic] Jody Weis this morning, for defying a court order to turn over lists of officers with multiple allegations of excessive force.

On Friday, after he was cited for contempt, Weis reluctantly tendered the lists. But he was ordered to appear in court today to explain his actions. [More]

I'm sure this has nothing to do with his wanting these guys to be the "Only Ones" armed...

Unfreecycle

The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,696 groups with 6,480,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. [More]

Unless of course it's evil gunssss...

*** DO KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL, & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no pornography, alcohol, tobacco, drugs (legal or otherwise), firearms or other weapons. Two strikes and you're out of the group.

See, freedom tools are like vices. And we don't cotton to immorality 'round here.

Ah well--who'd want to give a gun to a stranger anyway? In that sense, it's no loss.

It's just the whole attitude...

Supreme Court Passes on Bloomberg Gun Suit

This was a setback--not only for anti-gun mayor Mike Bloomberg and his coalition of anti-self defense mayors, but also for the left-leaning activist judge Jack B. Weinstein, who did his best to facilitate the lawsuit's progress in spite of the clear intent of the law. [More]

For some reason I envision Snidely Whiplash twisting his mustache and exclaiming "Curses! Foiled again!"

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column also has an alert from Oregon, a notice from Ohio and a return in Milwaukee. And, of course, links to the latest cutting edge pro-RKBA commentary from my fellow GREs...

Please read it and share it with your friends.

This Day in History: March 10

On March 10, 1777, the New Jersey Assembly met at the Indian King Tavern and approved the adoption of the Great Seal of New Jersey. Six months later, the Assembly met again at the tavern and enacted a law substituting the word "state" for "colony" in all commissions, writs and indictments. [More]

SCOTUS Denies Furious Mike

New York City’s nine-year lawsuit accusing gun makers of flooding illicit markets with their firearms came to an end on Monday, when the United States Supreme Court refused to consider a lower court’s dismissal of the case. [More]

Despite Jack Weinstein's best efforts...

Now I'm waiting for Helmke et al to spin this as removing the last objection to removing those Tiahrt Amendment restrictions on releasing records...

Don't Let the Door Hit You, Arlen

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) does not have the fall-back option of running as an independent should he lose his 2010 primary election, giving the senior lawmaker strong incentive to abandon his party this year.

Specter faces an extremely difficult primary race against former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), the conservative firebrand who lost his bid to oust Specter from his seat in the 2004 GOP primary by a mere 17,000 votes (out of more than a million cast). [More]

Because it always makes smart political sense to give an "A" rating and endorse the guy who allowed the "assault weapons" ban to pass by taking a powder, and who voted against allowing airline pilots to arm...

See, the problem is, guys like me just don't understand politics.

Dial 911 and Die

Can you imagine how that old lady with the walker would have fared against that creep had her family not shown up to save her--with guns? [More]

Naturally, the "Spokesonly One" says the dispatchers did a good job.

Hey, even if they had answered immediately, this still could have happened*:

And, of course, expect the Bradys to come unglued and demand laws requiring her to store that shotgun unloaded and locked away separately from its ammunition.

[Via Jeffersonian]

* This recording, of course, is not from the encounter linked to in this post--it is one of our old Citizens of America ads. With the advent of certain chip/GPS technologies, you now can be located through your telephone, except I don't believe this is a capability most 911 dispatchers have available--yet. Which creates a whole 'nother set of considerations...

A Toxic Threat

Lead, a toxic metal that can lower the IQs of children, is the essential element in most ammunition on the market today. [More]

But we see absolutely no credible correlation between expended hunter rounds and the population of unattended paint-gnawers, do we?

So the purpose of inserting that line in this story is...?

"Authorized Journalism," a toxic output that can lower the IQs of readers, is the essential element in dumbing down the electorate...
