Vanderboegh Medical Update

Just got off the phone with Mike.  He's hanging in there.  He's got some exciting exclusive new Gunwalker information that will be a real scoop if it pans out, meaning essentially, from his hospital bed, the guy is doing more than most of the "mainstream media" combined.

In the Excitement?

Finally, I know that in the excitement of helping us reach our goal (Thank you again!), several of you made pledges that haven’t been met. [More]
Not cool. No one sent over from here, I trust.

NRA endorsement of Georgia Democrat contradicts group’s dire Obama stance

Barrow has endorsed Barack Obama, the man NRA says gun owners must “go all in” to defeat, and the man who in last night’s debate endorsed a new ban on semi-automatics and implied support for another one on “cheap handguns.” It is curious that helping gun-grabbers attain power enabling them to attack the right to keep and bear arms is not a factor in NRA’s endorsement, particularly since they are the first ones to remind their members that the future composition of the Supreme Court, and the potential that those court cases Barrow supported could be overturned, rides in the balance.

Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report asks if the enemy of our enemy is our friend, what does that make the friend of our enemy?

Georgia church gun ban challenge goes to Supreme Court

“GCO now seeks to have the nation’s highest court review the decision,” the post continued. “In the appeal, GCO asserts that the First Amendment’s ‘free exercise’ clause prohibits states from banning activities in churches when such activities generally are permitted elsewhere in the state.” [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a gaping hole in that "wall of separation" we hear so much about when it suits the purposes of those who would erect it around us.

We're the Only Ones Parading Enough

Members of the city's police union are planning a fundraiser for a lieutenant who is being fired for punching a woman at a parade, an encounter caught on video. [More] 
Yeah, it's just the evil top brass who are against us. The rank and file are our pals.

Isn't that how the mantra goes?

This Day in History: October 17

On October 17, 1780, a force of approximately 800 loyalists and Native Americans under Sir John Johnson and Mohawk Capt. Joseph Brant raided the valley and briefly attacked the fort before proceeding north toward the Mohawk Valley. A cannonball hole can still be seen in a cornice at the rear of the building. [More]

Romney blows debate opportunity on Fast and Furious

What he failed to do, totally quashing any building excitement that he’d raised by broaching the subject, was to challenge Obama on executive privilege the president has extended to documents subpoenaed by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that the Eric Holder Justice Department has refused to turn over. The Republican candidate did not challenge the president on his reasons for issuing that order, nor did he pledge to revoke it or to promise cooperation with Congress should he be elected. [More]

Question About the NRA-PVF Site

I logged in, but it's not letting me look at ratings in any other state race--only Ohio.  I haven't noticed that limitation before.  When I get to the map and select another state, it makes me log in again and then returns me to Ohio. Anybody else notice this, and is there a workaround?

Why they just don't make the information--including their archives--publicly available is something I've never understood.  Maybe they're hoping we won't hold the duds against them.

Holder asking court to bow out on Fast and Furious leaves solution up to Romney

What that means is, the only hope those demanding truth and consequences for Fast and Furious will have is if Mitt Romney defeats Obama. Unfortunately, even that will give no guarantee, because the GOP challenger has thus far played coy on the matter, paying lip service along the lines of South Park’s Mr. Mackey (“Gunwalker’s bad, m’kay”), but revealing absolutely nothing about what he will do if given the power to make a difference in the way an executive branch abomination that has left hundreds of dead human beings in its wake is treated.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes we basically have one chance left--assuming the fix isn't already in.

Vanderboegh Medical Update

Just got off the phone with Mike. Nothing new to report except he says his stuttering has improved and he's waiting for the doctors to share their latest thoughts with him, so no word on whether a release is imminent or how long they intend to keep him.

Yeah. Let's Have That Conversation

No you're not. Or at least not above the repercussions of your idiot statist advocacy.

And this is not our fault.

It's a Debate Party!

We're the Only Ones Socially Networking Enough

So the secret "Only One" has a Facebook account but if you tell anyone, that's your fault?

Who is he? I'd like to "share" his page.

There's No Subversive Like an Old Subversive

Maybe you have a constitutional right to have a cellphone with a pre-dialed 911 at your bedside. That might provide you a little better protection than a gun which you're not used to using. [APPLAUSE] [Watch]
Yeah, unlike your orcs. Who'da thunk Nazgûl wore bow-ties under their black robes...?

That inane and unqualified opinion presented as expert simply because of who is saying it occurs around 36 + minutes into this video. 

I love Dan Gross at the beginning claiming "Brady...has always been the voice of the American people..."

This is a long video, but it's important to watch it so you know what the enemy's designs are, and the lawyer group announced by Jonathan Lowy is one to be on guard against. It's also critically important to understand the "legal" rationale someone like Stevens uses  to allow his fanaticism to trump his oath.  Understand reversing Heller and McDonald are just "first step" goals. Howling of paranoia notwithstanding, these traitors, who would have us believe banning handguns in the home is "common sense"  and "reasonable" and a "compelling state interest," want and intend to settle for nothing less than absolute, unchallengeable power.

The thing to remember, with special significance to keep in mind with what we're being told about November: Stevens was a gift from the Republicans.

UPDATE: Kurt weighs in.
