Notes from the Resistance...
Mike has posted his speech at Sipsey Street Irregulars. Reading it, I deeply regret I was not there to hear it delivered in person. There are lessons here, both historic and contemporary. There is also hope and inspiration. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column helps those of us who were not there benefit from some of the lessons that were imparted.
Nice bunch, huh? Kinda makes you want to be a good citizen and register, better yet, turn in those guns? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner Column shows what can happen to people caught napping.
Last Sunday at a gas station in the Detroit, MI area, a 19-year-old thug identified by the Westland Observer as Bryan Davis tried to pull an armed robbery, but an armed citizen intervened and in the process very likely saved the life...While you're at it, be sure and check out these other Liberty-oriented Examiners:
Five females were bound and robbed in a Manhattan apartment. [More]See, Furious Mike with his taxpayer-provided armed bodyguards prefers that outcome over, say, this one.
A number of complaints have been made over the years by people who said a Felicity police officer confiscated illegal drugs but never filed charges, according to the county prosecutor’s office. [More]So that's not a good thing in this case, is it?
NY's Gillibrand hailed by Brady gun control group [More]Imagine that.
"She was either being dishonest with her voters in the congressional district or she's being dishonest to the voters in New York state," said the NRA's chief lobbyist, Chris W. Cox. "Either way, the key word is dishonest."So...uh...Spoc...uh...Chris: Aside from the direction he chose as the most politically opportune, how is that "logically" any different from what Chet Edwards has done?
Does Harry Reid reject the Standard Model of the Second Amendment?Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes it ain't about jack rabbits or pork.
Yes or no?
...And, assuming they don't agree with the message Harry Reid approved, it's a question NRA ought to insist on him answering, as long as they're still considering him to be eligible for their endorsement. Getting that answer before giving their backing is something we gun owners ought to insist they ascertain. [More]
"To William Livingston Esq. Governor of the State of New Jersey & to the Council of Safety… August 13, 1778
Richard Waln's petition to return to his home in Upper Freehold (the largest house in Monmouth County at the time), now Historic Walnford, a county park. Waln was a Quaker, which precluded active involvement on either side of the war. But as a mill owner and successful trader, Waln wanted to continue trading with the British if possible. The Council on Safety ordered his arrest on July 21, 1777. On October 11, he appeared and refused to affirm his allegiance to the government. The Council then let him go to Staten Island with his family "into the Enemy's lines." On August 20, 1778, he returned via Philadelphia and was arrested again, resulting in this successful petition, in which he promises to be a "good Subject." [More]

Officers got a search warrant for plaintiff’s property to search for a person missing since 1997. They drilled holes in plaintiff’s concrete garage floor, and a cadaver dog allegedly alerted. They emptied the garage and started digging. They piled dirt on plaintiff’s belongings considering it “junk.” Their digging down 15' undermined the structure, and they supported it on their own. They found nothing and left, and they felt unobliged to do anything to restore the condition of the property. Ground water from rain created a pond in plaintiff’s garage. *Why should the feel obliged? They're "Only Ones," and based on results, were following established department protocols.
SAN FRANCISCO EYES AMMUNITION REGISTRY; CCRKBA VOWS LAWSUIT [More]It's easy to get to where I just don't give a damn what urban fools do to themselves. It's easy to say those who value freedom but still live there know what they're getting.
