App lets consumers network to ID ‘gun free zone’ businesses

With that goal in mind, there’s one way readers of this column can help make it happen, and help get the Gun Free Zones App “in the hands of millions of people” -- download it, use it, tell your friends about it and share the news. And let them know if they don’t want to embrace and use technology in the fight for freedom, that will make those who favor more restrictions and who are exploiting innovative ways to do so very happy.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner offering notes the jackals will be happy to learn the new tricks that old dogs refuse to.

Oppressing Minorities

Telling, how "tolerant progressives" have no problem doing that with minorities they despise. [Read]

You've GOT to Have Rules...

Plus they promised to eat him last.... [Read]

A Good First Step

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House of Representatives, suggested to Jason Mattera at a Feb. 13 women’s rights rally that plans for an assault weapons ban and private-sales background checks were only the beginning of a broader gun control agenda extending to handguns as well.

But nobody wants to take your guns and only paranoid extremists believe in a slippery slope...

Not Up to Our Standards

I guess their "standards" aren't the same as these...

Bordering on Extortion?

Seems pretty outright to me. [Read]

Another Excuse to Ratchet Down...

...for an administration committed to never letting a crisis go to waste. [Read]

Anybody think the Republicans would hold fast if the body count were high enough?

The Miller/Scalia Test

The AR-15, which isn't a brand but rather a generic design, accounts for an estimated 60 percent of all civilian rifle sales in the United States and perhaps a quarter of all firearms sold ... Today, the AR-15 is so popular, with estimates of as many as 5 million in private hands ... [More]
So in other words, it's in "common use at the time" and not "unusual"...?

It's My Party and I'll Lie if I Want To

McCarthy won’t rule out passage of bills lacking majority GOP support [More
That's because McCarthy and his fellow establishment trough-feeding parasites rely on the Quigley paradigm.  

And anyone who disagrees is a "wacko bird."

Can't You Hear, Can't You Hear the Thunder?

You better run, you better take cover.  [More]

Yeah, that some "tremendous outcome" from all those confiscations there, mate.

We're the Only Ones Deal-Making Enough

"No resources were spared," Suhr said. [More]

And none evidently were risked:

Police negotiators were then called to make contact with those inside the house...urging them to surrender peacefully and to give up any weapons...Still, while as many as seven people were detained, there were no arrests - a clear sign, department insiders say, that they had a deal with somebody to get the weapon back with no questions asked. In addition to the stolen police rifle, officers recovered a Ruger Mini-14 tactical semiautomatic rifle, a semiautomatic pistol, a shotgun, 1,000 ecstasy pills and other drugs.
What the hell?

Anybody really believe the reason they're being so coy on how they recovered from their negligence is because they don't want to reveal the secrets of their crime detection prowess?

And anybody notice how the no-knock dynamic entries seem to be tabled as the first option when people perceived as likely to effectively shoot back are targeted?  The ones in my last post couldn't have done this?

We're the Only Ones Unqualified Enough

Let's hear it for our big, brave boys in black, manhandling teenagers and a woman that way!  Too bad there was no family dog to execute. [Read]

And yes, by all means, the question of why the NRA isn't screaming bloody murder about SWAT raids is legitimate, and the excuse I'd expect to hear is it's because they're "a single-issue organization."

The American Way

Due process?We ain't got no due process
We don't need no due process!
I don't have to show you any stinkin'due process!.
You know, guilty until proven innocent... [Read]

Wait 'til they expand this beyond veterans and start applying it to anyone on Social Security or Medicare...or heck, if it's simply a matter of not being able to handle your own financial affairs, how about anyone who uses a tax preparer?

It's Easy to Be a Helpful Visionary When Someone Else is Paying for It

Funny. In all this striving to be Democrats Lite,  don't see anything in here about delegated powers or the Ninth and Tenth Amendments... [Read]

Armed American Radio Tonight

This evening's program, beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern (those of us in time change areas remembered to "spring forward," right?) should interest us all, but hold a special interest for women in light of anti-gunners trivializing their right to keep and bear arms with demeaning and ignorant comments about "statistics."

Mark Walters' special guests tonight will be Amanda Collins and Catherine Whitney.  He'll also be joined by Eric Reed of Guns Across America.

I'll be joining in at the 10 p.m. "Roundtable"  with George "Mad Ogre" Hill and AAR producer Sean "Seanto" Young.

Colo. activists call for sporting ‘sequester’ in response to gun bills

“The hunting and fishing outdoors industry provides the state of Colorado 1.8 billion dollars a year in revenue, with an additional 1.2 billion dollars being derived from secondary sources such as Hotels, restaurants, bars and retail sporting goods stores,” the statement elaborates. “Three billion dollars is a significant part of the Colorado economy. A large portion of that figure comes from folks that live out of state and our own Colorado hunters and fisherman. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at one idea that's being floated to do something about that.

Rules of Engagement

Stewart Rhodes at Oath Keepers expands on a conversation Mike Vanderboegh and I were having about the application of the laws of war against Americans. It's a good read that links to an important paper on "enemy combatant status." [Read]
