Remember Rallying to the Defense of Badger?

We shouldn't have. Look at what the guy's brother has done with the phoenix that rose from those ashes:

Nasci's department started running background checks on everyone using the Badger Guns range in 2009, an arrangement that Adam Allan agreed to, though no law required him to do so.

Nasci said since late 2009, he has run more than 25,000 names of range users through his system.

This is much worse than that kapo in Texas.  These snitches are turning in their customers.  Utterly inexcusable and unforgivable.

Who the hell would do business with these jackboot-licking collaborators?  Yeah, I know, no shortage of Fudds...

I understand Wisconsin Carry is investigating this, but don't readily see anything on their site and don't have time to search right now.

A Test of Skills

"And until we get a factual report and a complete record from the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General, which is our normal process, and make the referral to our internal affairs division, then there are rights that employees have." [More] 

Oh, you mean never?

Still, you have to admit his skill set includes mastery of Pynchon. He's got everybody asking the wrong questions.

Meanwhile, just to keep things in perspective, over in the private sector you can get unceremoniously canned for mouthing off to a Chick-fil-A employee...

Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh?*

Mein Kampf

In the aftermath of the Aurora shooting that killed 12, injured 58, and renewed a national conversation about gun control, state Rep. Warren Kampf (R-157) signaled a willingness this week to consider legislation that would place restrictions on gun ownership in Pennsylvania. [Read]

Punish him. Throw him out. No excuses. I don't care if his opposition may be a gungrabber who wins. Tolerate this with no consequences and perpetuate what got us into this no real choices mess in the first damn place.

Look how he's repaid his supporters:

NRA members came out in support of his A- rated opponent, Warren Kampf, to drive him over the margin for victory. Gun owners in the district now have a friend of their rights in office to rally behind.

Sure they do.  How fitting that today's "History" post focused on Benedict Arnold.Anyone who tells you a traitor is "the lesser of two evils" is either a liar or a fool.

Blast from the Past

Fredd Bergman reminds us of RG Griffing, who challenged the Bradys to put up or shut up. Naturally, they wouldn't do either, but that worked out fine, because it served to once more prove they don't know what the hell they're talking about. and it did so in a very amusing, in-your-face way. [Read]

He reminds us of his friend because memories of Griffing, along with his body of work, are now what we have left.

Hey, Pete, what industry did you come out of to go to work for this outfit?

Reese family ‘not guilty’ of gun smuggling but legal troubles far from over

With all the family has suffered throughout an ordeal that now appears one created by the government as another ill-conceived publicity coup along the lines of so many others, rather than a quest for law and justice, one more draconian consequence will follow Rick, Terri and Ryin Reese for the rest of their days should they be convicted. As per United States Code, anyone “convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year” is a prohibited person, banned by federal law from owning a gun.

Missing Link Found in Washington State

No, I'm not messin' with Sasquatch.. Workman explains. [Read] 

Say, isn't that ol' Kelvin's stomping grounds...?

It's also the locale where I had to spike a "Gunwalker"-related story from, because my source feared retaliation and backed out on me after I'd already drafted my report.

We're the Only Ones Securing the Prisoner Enough

Two Jonesboro police officers are on administrative leave after a suspect reportedly shot himself while handcuffed in a patrol car. [More]

How did that happen?

Search me.

They say they did. Twice. 

Here's a little experiment: Hide a small squirt gun on your person. Have a significant other do a complete frisk and see if they miss it.  Have them do it again and see if they still miss it.

Here's another experiment:

He also said Carter's hands were still cuffed behind his back.

Put your hands behind your back and be sure to keep your wrists within an inch or two of each other (maybe have that significant other tie a piece of string around your wrists to simulate the restricted movement limits).  Access the squirt gun and then shoot yourself in the head with it.

That's why we show up in full battle gear with a tank against a mother and her child, ready to unleash the fury of hell if she continues to defy us and we're given the order. [Watch]

Supply Source

Mexico's bloody drug cartels rely on assault rifles and other firearms from the United States to support their battles with rivals and army soldiers. [More]
