Andy Caldwell Show Appearance

I'll be discussing this bill tonight at 7:00-7:30 pm EST 7:30-8:00 pm EST on the Andy Caldwell Show (adjust for your time zone). Click here and then click the banner to listen live.

UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Andy--we pre-recorded the segment. Please note time change.

I may have done a verbal slip assuming the bill would also ban someone from buying ammo out of state and bringing it in. It would preclude internet/mail order sales, or at least require the transfer to be done through a dealer, which would make it prohibitive. Such is the nature of live radio and responding spontaneously to questions on arcane bills that make no damn sense in the first place..

AZ Governor Candidate Hugh Kealer Volunteers Answers to Gun Rights Questionnaire

The gun rights political questionnaire may be taking on a life of its own. Not only am I get responses to inquiries from an increasing number of races, I have just had a candidate approach me and volunteer answers.

Hugh Kealer is running for governor of Arizona. Here's the Q&A... [More]

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column marks a first.

Candidates wanting to prove to us how strong they are on RKBA--and making public statements that could be used brought up later--isn't a cure-all. By the same token, it's a pretty good sign.

Tell a friend? Because nobody else is doing this, and look what's been generated so far.

Paper Trail

Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper [More]

Yes, it has come to this: The Buttwipe Nazis.

I wonder what the special government enforcement unit would be called if they get their way? I'm open to suggestions for acronyms and names in "Comments."

Tim Spring: People in life have not been kind to you, have they? Perhaps try better personal hygiene and you won't be such an uptight sphincter? Or at least won't itch so much?

Still, who would want to use paper made from old growth forests when quilted pads woven from spotted owl feathers make for such a more luxurious experience?

Good grief.

Did you know that Dick Wilson not only played Mr. Whipple on the Charmin commercials, but also Captain Gruber on "Hogan's Heroes"? And they say there are no coincidences.

Wii're the Only Ones With Our Virtual Balls in the Gutter Enough

A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping and kicking.

While a female detective lifted a nearby couch looking for evidence, another sheriff's detective focused on pin action.

But detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the Auburndale, Lakeland and Winter Haven police departments did not know that a wireless security camera connected to a computer inside Difalco's home was recording their activity. [More]

Because "Only Ones" are just so much better than you in every way. I wonder if they helped themselves to whatever was in the fridge?

We're the Only Ones Light-Fingered Enough

A former Logansport police officer has pleaded guilty to shoplifting in exchange for a brief jail term and probation. [More]

And the Swarming Continues...

The U.S. Attorney's Office announced charges against Colosimo's Inc. after business hours Tuesday. A man who answered the phone at the business said "What can I say?" to a reporter seeking comment and eventually hung up. Owner James Colosimo has previously said he follows all laws in his business.

The initials "BM" are so appropriate...

Fighting the Swarm

I just received the following forwarded email:

Fwd: 50% off on receivers from KT
From: Gary Marbut-MSSA

Dear MSSA Friends,

Rick, owner of KT Ordnance in Dillon, needs to raise funds to pay off legal bills from when he was harassed by the BATFE (no charges were ever filed).

To raise funds, he's selling his 80% receivers at a 50% discount. 80% receivers are incomplete, so they are not regulated as "firearms." You would have to drill some holes or do some other machine work to finish these receivers, then add other parts such as barrels and lockwork to make a working firearm. You may finish these only for yourself, but it is not legal (as I understand it) to resell these or to, without a federal manufacturer's license, be in the business of making and selling finished firearms. If you buy for cash, there is no paper trail on these receivers.

See Rick's Website or Google "80% firearms" to learn more about the legalities and process for turning these 80% receivers into working firearms. Call Rick if you have any questions.

Here is Rick's offer:

==================

KT Ordnance is running a special on all our 80% receivers (less the P-50) of 1/2 price. We have 1911's, AR-15's AR-10's and MK-1's.

Use promotional code: "Molon Labe" to receive your 50% discount.

At these prices, buy one for a Christmas present for the "tinkerer" you know. You can never have too many firearms. ;-)

You can order here:
http://www.ktordnance.com/kto/
Or mail in your order (address below).

Thank you.

Do the words "and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance" ring a bell...?

They're counting on the disparity of resources to crush us into submission.

We're the Only Ones Taking Care of Our Wives Enough

Looking further into yesterday's "Until Death Do Us Part" post, Avg Joe has detected some interesting Google results when it comes to "Only Ones" and wedded bliss...[More]

Excuse me a minute...I always cry at weddings...

Will Gov. Schwarzenegger Sign Ammo Control Bill?

It will, of course, not stop one gangbanger from getting a gun or getting ammunition for it. They have networks all over the country. If anything, it will increase crime by this very dangerous segment, which will now have lucrative incentives for boosting outside the law supply chain activities.

What it will also do is create further economic hardships for and harassment of people who continue to endure in-your-face infringements from politicians who hate everything they stand for. Which is part of the intent. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another assault in the State of California's war on gun owners.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs, see what Kurt Hofmann and Kent McManigal are saying about racists, and find out how you can listen to me discuss this ammo bill later today on the Andy Caldwell Show.

This Day in History: September 24

September 24, 1777 at Diamond Island, New York - Having previously captured 300 British troops on the west shore of Lake George, Col. John Brown's Continentals successfully raided the British post at Diamond Island, located south of Ticonderoga. They were unsuccessful in capturing Fort Ticonderoga itself. Conclusion: American Victory [More]

Virginia Tech Continues to Promote Defenselessness

Anyway, I am not surprised to see the anti-defense zealots have returned to the scene of a crime enabled by their insistence on mandated helplessness. The Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention is hosting a showing of ABC's propaganda hit piece on gun ownership, "If I Only Had a Gun." [More]

I'd meant to post today's second Gun Rights Examiner column earlier, but life got in the way.

Anyway, the usual gang of idiots is having a Kumbaya-fest tomorrow, and I thought I'd use this opportunity to pick a fight.

Help me? Tell a friend?

Professor Underreacts to Chancellor's Overreaction

The sudden turn of events -- Cramer was in the advisory role for less than a week -- occurred after he sent an e-mail shortly after midnight Thursday boasting about his marksmanship skills. He termed it a joking response to a pair of fliers being circulated with his photograph and home address and inferences that he may be a racist. [More]

That's it? I'd do the same and more, and I would not be joking. Matter of fact, I'd try to track the weasels down, out their real identities and post their addresses, likenesses, class schedules--see how they like CUM ULLA SELLA IN PUGNO TABERNA, the damn cowards.

I may not be able to hit a quarter with a .45 seven times out of 10 at 50 feet like Professor Cramer claims he used to do, but that's OK. If they sent anyone out to my home, I wouldn't be aiming for their quarters.

Tell Chancellor Holden Thorp what you think of his decision to essentially fire this guy for warning off anonymous punks playing terrorist, which is what the flier distributors are: holden@unc.edu

Tell him there's an FBI snitch being tried for giving out work addresses of judges on his blog. Ask him why he sides with scum, and why he's not demanding an investigation.

Derailing the Antis

Passed by a 68-to-30 Senate vote, an amendment authored by Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, mandates that Amtrak allow passengers to carry handguns in their checked baggage. [More]

Amtrak's Chairman of the Board Thomas C. Carper and Dick Durbin (D, Mordor), felt the need to conduct a public panty-wetting, to which Bruce Krafft responds:

Okay, so what AmTrack and Dick are saying is that passengers' checked baggage is subject to being "lost, damaged, stolen or misused"? You can't have it both ways boys, if your baggage security is inadequate then knowingly operating a system where your customers' personal possessions, that they have entrusted to your care, are subject to rifling by your employees?

This doesn't even address the other security issue, that if you can't safeguard checked guns, how can you keep out checked *bombs*?

The answer, of course, is all they're really capable of doing is harassing those inclined to obey the laws.

We're the Only Ones Following Protocol Enough

A jury in Prince George's County on Monday awarded $261,000 to a woman who said she was pepper-sprayed and punched by sheriff's deputies after they forced their way into her Greenbelt apartment to serve an arrest warrant on a man who was not there. [More]

I love how the "Only Ones" always charge the victims of their brutality with "assaulting a police officer."

I think if I were on a jury, I might be inclined not to believe it just based on an anecdotal preponderance of evidence...

But here's the real central point of this story:

The jury determined that the two deputies violated Kimberly Jones's constitutional rights, even though they followed sheriff's department protocol...The sheriff's department's training and procedures are such that if you follow them, you will violate the rights of citizens."

Again with "protocol." If it's officially sanctioned, but against the supreme law of the land, that is, illegal, doesn't that make it a conspiracy to deny a citizen their rights under color of authority?

You Are My Sunstein

I share concerns with correspondent DJK, who asks: "Where does the .gov find these people?‏" [More]

And, of course, I still don't have an answer to my "Czar" question...

We're the Only Ones Searching Enough

Offending individuals are either given an opportunity to obtain the necessary permits and educate themselves on safe storage procedures — while Toronto police hold the gun for safe-keeping — or else the weapon is destroyed. [More]

So stop being paranoid about confiscation --registration is merely a "common sense gun safety measure."

We're the Only Ones In Charge of the ER Enough

A head emergency room nurse at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital has sued the city and a Chicago Police officer for handcuffing her and putting her in the back of a squad car during a dispute over drawing blood from a suspected drunken driver. [More]

Well...yeah.

Everyone knows "Only Ones" are the best qualified to make on-the-scene medical decisions. Just ask this EMT.

Besides, if anyone knows anything about drawing first blood...

And gee, imagine that, the union keeps We the People from knowing this smirking thug's name.

Oughtta be a lesson to you though, Ms. Hofstra. Your business should be healing.

For the Children

When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons. [More]

This is how the NeoMarxists respond to dissent: You're mentally unbalanced, you're a domestic terrorist, you're a racist, and now, you're a child in need of benevolent adult supervision and guidance.

So we will control.

For the children.

Funny, how the guy in charge of our nation's energy program has only worked in ivory towers. I can't see where he's ever helped drill an oil well, run an electricity-generating plant, operated a refinery...

Berkeley, you know...

There may be a few energy lessons some of us could teach.

When the Revolution Comes

It's time for all progressive communities to raise our collective voice against idiocy. Otherwise, I fear that it will all come down to armed combat. If some craziness goes down and the right-wing nuts start coming after my friends and family - White, Black, Asian, Latino, Native and LGBT - as a means of self-defense I'm gonna be right there with guns in the air and a beret on my head. [More]

So much misplaced hatred, Ralph Remington. It is not we who believe in the Bill of Rights and restraints on government who advocate disarming minorities.

And fear not. I doubt you'll see an influx of folks who believe like me invading Ward 10 in Minneapolis. If all hell breaks loose to where the scenario you describe becomes possible, I'd look to incidents in the recent past to see the most likely way they'd unfold--and who you'd need a gun to defend yourself against.
