Notes from the Resistance...
Here are some statements politicians holding national office provided to GUNS Magazine when asked to comment on the Second Amendment. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column gives us a glimpse in how we got to here from there...
General Washington followed his success at Trenton with another on January 3, 1777, when, again crossing the Delaware, he outmarched General Charles Cornwallis, and approaching from the rear defeated three British regiments and three companies of light cavalry at Princeton, New Jersey. [More]
According to a Sullivan County Sheriff's Office spokesman, a Remington model 870 12-gauge shotgun and a Bush Master AR-15 were stolen from WCSO Detective Heather Salyer's unmarked WCSO vehicle while parked at a residence between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29. [More]What, she left guns in the car unattended and unchecked for that long?

Dear all American Brothers and Sisters
Please get rid of these guns.
You are a very intelligent and rich/ educated people, please TRUST IN GOD, not guns.
Do not fear, but analyse yourselves and you will see that your essence is a spark of divinity as you are human beings.
With this knowledge and your other endowments you can lead us to a better world.
You do not need guns.

The only things that are clear: Good, rational people don't behave like thugs. The presence of weapons doesn't change that. And rules don't stop rule-breakers. The "laws" are useless at changing these fundamental truths--which means they've been enacted for another reason altogether.Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at more of the exemplary behavior we've come to expect from our bread-and-circus clowns...I mean, sports heroes.
But what? [More]
January 2, Washington forwards to governor Nicholas Cooke a letter from General James Varnum advising him that Rhode Island's troop quota should be completed with blacks. Washington urges Cooke to give the recruiting officers every assistance. [More]
Do something.Here's my last resolution. I think it's the most important one.
Every day.
Start today. [More]
The Southern Poverty Law Centre, which tracks extremist organisations, says it has so far counted more than 300 patriot groups this year...[More]So the Sarah Brady Paradise "Authorized Journalist" wants to call American patriots who believe in the Constitution "extreme," and then tell his readers with a straight face that we should consider SPLC to be "researchers," with the aura of legitimacy and honest brokerage that implies?
Oops.Bailey had told authorities his truck was unlocked but his glove compartment was locked.
...That model truck doesn't have a locking glove compartment. [More]
HB 2249: Courts - As enacted, requires courts to collect to order the collection and reporting of certain information regarding individuals who have been adjudicated as a mental defective or judicially committed to a mental institution; clarifies that a person may not obtain a handgun carry permit if the person has been "judicially committed to a mental institution" instead of "committed to or hospitalized in a mental institution"; requires that certain notice be provided to persons detained for evaluation or treatment; revises various related provisions. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 16; Title 33; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 49; Title 54; Title 55 and Title 65. [More]As opposed to just a commitment.
The argument seems to boil down to if peaceable armed citizens cross certain property lines, our behavior changes. We degenerate into hot-tempered, conscienceless, out-of-control binge-drinking frat boys and drunken cowboys, ready to blast for any reason--or for no reason at all. Oh, and avenging vigilantes...that's what the antis are calling self-defense these days, isn't it? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column asks how people who can't be trusted with guns in prohibited locations can be trusted with them anywhere.
As this day begins the new year The General orders a gill of spirits to be Served to each non-commission'd Officer andAs regular readers know, I use this feature to bring us a daily entry from the Founding Era/Revolutionary War period as a way of illustrating the efforts and sacrifices made by those who bequeathed to us a Republic. I focused last year on 1777. This year we will look at 1778.soldier; And to avoid the irregular and partial distribution of this Article (which has been a good deal complaind of) he expressly orders that no Spirits shall issue to any part of the Troops in future but in Consequence of general or special orders from Head Quarters. A deviation from this rule will be at the risque and peril of the Issuing Commissary. [More]
I will attempt to keep all of the suggested gun rights resolutions. [More]Today's resolution is the most ambitious. Also see one from Dave Workman and three from Ed Stone.
That is the only way to describe it. [More]Yeah, but he's our drunken, lying slob...isn't he?
I think Reid is a communist and a traitor who does what he does on guns because the political climate in NV forces him to. Anyone who thinks they can make a binding deal with a communist and traitor shouldn't act surprised when they find themselves being devoured.We need to look at the totality of a politician's actions. Fact is, Baucus supported Obama. Baucus supported Eric Holder. Baucus supported Sotomayor. Anyone acting like his other votes happen in a vacuum will have no one but themselves to blame when they find they can no longer breathe.
I'm done with political compromises--that's what got us to this point. Some of us aren't backing up any more. A lot of us. And we're pissed.
I'm unimpressed with the Durbin argument. If he gets in and wants to squeeze harder, I suppose some will obey. Just as some of us will not. Interesting times.
Freedom is not won by those afraid to take risks. And to back Reid because someone perceptibly worse might get in is not the type of attitude that will win it.
Shkupolli killed his ex-girlfriend in a nearby apartment with an unlicensed handgun before heading to the mall, Kaski said...What can I say, except "Authorized Journalists"...?
...[P]olice launched a manhunt for the heavily armed killer. [More]
Tennessee State Guard commander Richard Hamblen said it's his Second Amendment right as part of a militia to convert assault rifles into fully automatic weapons. The Sixth US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. [More]Because "shall not be infringed" is such a squishy and undefined concept...
...Point of clarification: ...I did not convert any guns from semiauto--all mine were remanufactured from de-milled machine gun kits. They always were machine guns, always were intended to be machine guns, and were nothing but machine guns, the "standard issue weapon", as Solicitor General Clement said in Heller, of the National Guard.If you haven't been following this case, here's what I've got.
The whole point is the constitutionality of the NFA of 1934 and therefore all gun laws. The Supreme Court ruled on what is protected by the Second Amendment in Miller in 1939. All I ask is that they honor their ruling and apply it to the law. And if that ruling is no longer correct, then they need to explain, with constitutional citations, why it is no longer correct.
