Notes from the Resistance...
This isn't something you can wait on, or figure the other guy will do. Will you do something? Anything? [More]I've said it before--apathy is as great an enemy as opposition. Tonight's Gun Rights Examiner column attempts to give another push.
'Education' misspelled on CMS teacher coaster [More]If they were truly educated, they'd forget working out a deal with the vendor, make lemonade out of lemons and sell these things as a fundraiser to people who think it would be funny to own one.
"The bottom line is people simply should not have these things and that's why we have laws against them." [More]So does that mean that, unlike Soylent Green, "Only Ones" aren't people?
These are some of the same stupid laws that we have to follow — and some that are being proposed — for legal gun ownership. [More]Marc Folco addresses alcohol and firearms. Throw some tobacco in there and we could have a pretty good time--as long as we left government out of the mix.
The 10-year department veteran used a knife to threaten one man, then left. However, he returned a short time later, kicked foot [food?--DC] out of the man's hand and pointed the .45 caliber Glock semiautomatic handgun at his head. [More]I've been to Old Tony's many times. I also walked neighborhoods distributing flyers for Proposition E many years ago. The good sheeple of Redondo Beach decided that "Only Ones" like Officer Chong could be trusted with guns.
The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has advised staff to replace the phrase “black day” with “miserable day”...If their governments were more niggardly, they wouldn't have money to waste on this foolishness...
The National Gallery in London believes that the phrase “gentleman’s agreement” is potentially offensive to women... [More]
"We're not looking to come across as being heavy-handed," he said. "We want to make sure that everybody knows what the rules of engagement are to help spur greater compliance, so that enforcement becomes less of an issue. But we're still going to enforce." [More]Thank goodness you're not being heavy-handed, Scott Wolfson.
As for those on "our side" who feel a compelling need to volunteer that the Heller decision combined with Militia Act intent now makes mandatory gun registration "legal," remember that the Constitution is the "supreme law of the land." They and those who would exploit their "reluctant" admissions would do well to remember that some of us know you don't need to wear black robes and speak all the ritual judicial incantations to understand the intent behind our right to keep and bear arms-- and our commitment to preserving and restoring it. [More]Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column is the third part in a series necessitated by ostensible "pro-gun scholars and advocates" who seem to think mandatory gun registration would be constitutional. Fortunately, I get some expert help.
I've been advised that a special election primary will be held on Sept. 1, which is NEXT WEEK with a runoff in Nov. So it is critical that support be given NOW... [More]Today's first Gun Rights Examiner column is a special update to yesterday's article about a congressional candidate who's not afraid to take a hard line stance on the Second Amendment.
The officers commanding corps are to see that their men's arms are immediately cleaned and put in the best order possible; that the ammunition likewise be carefully inspected, and the proper number of rounds for each man completed; that the bayonets fix well; that the flints be screwed in fast, and every thing put in perfect readiness for action. [More]
We have a politician principled enough to give us what most will not: unequivocal answers on his support for the right to keep and bear arms. [More]I put out a second Gun Rights Examiner column today to introduce you to a citizen running for public office with guts enough to answer this with no weasel words.
State Sen. R.C. Soles shoots one of two home intruders [More]What?
The Battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina, occurred on the 7th day of October, 1780, and resulted in the defeat of Lieutenant Colonel Ferguson, who commanded the royal forces, and the loss of his command, not one man escaping from the battle field. [More]Well, no one expected that outcome, now did they...?
Pedestrian accidents are on the rise in Metro Nashville, where hundreds are hit, hurt or killed by vehicles each year. [More]Not that we want to confuse "assault cars" with "patrol cars"...
Increased police presence pledged for Springfield [More]I guess the solution to violent crime is to give Chief Wiggums more power. Lord knows your chances of getting him to agree to this aren't guaranteed.
Of course there were militia rolls--you can't have a command without knowing who's in it. And of course commanders would ensure the men were properly equipped. It's hardly a surprise that some lists would have been kept verifying this. But this was applicable to militia service only. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column argues that some "pro-gun scholars and advocates" are really stretching when they opine the Militia Act established a precedent for gun registration.
August 25, 1777
Washington marches toward Wilmington, Delaware, in an attempt to block the British advance on Philadelphia. [More]
