This Day in History: July 2

An enterprize, which I have long had in contemplation, will be executed in the course of this night, if Genl. Lincoln, who commands the operating party, finds the attack advisable upon reconnoitring the situation of the enemy, and he can do it by surprise.  [More]

Activists defy new Colorado magazine ban in front of State Capitol

“Then we were asked to form a circle, and the media was crowding themselves in the middle to get the mass civil disobedience that was about to happen on video,” the report by blogger Ironwill III continues. [More]

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a circle of freedom that should be encouraged to grow. Includes video.

And what do you call a bleg for tweets, a tweg?

Proof that Gun Owners are Peaceable

The sheriff’s department says they’ve received more than 50 complaints from people just out enjoying the woods when they were stopped by an overly aggressive forest service officer. [More]

If we weren't, that authoritarian thug would have disappeared without a trace long before he reached 50.

Miss. AG petitions state Supreme Court against open carry bill restraining order

“[T]he Motion incorrectly declares that District Attorney [Robert Schuler] Smith is bringing this matter in his capacity as ‘the chief legal officer of the State of Mississippi,” the petition documents in an ironic comment about lack of standing that illustrates a presumption of non-existent authority and questionable legal competence on the part of both the DA and the Southern Poverty Law Center attorney backing the power grab. [More]

This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes quick action in the Magnolia State. The AG really gave a great beatdown against partisan dirty tricks, and it looks like the Supreme Court, by ordering a 5 p.m. response, is not amused with the antis' shenanigans.

Calling Jesse, Calling Al...

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...

I’m terrified that next time I’m mowing the lawn I’ll run over a bullet that hasn’t been found yet. [More] 

Perhaps some day he'll be terrified because he can't find any.

Obama’s gun policy and supporters favor jihadists over patriots

That the administration knows full well there is no way they can keep the weapons out of the hands of fanatical terrorist enemies of the United States is obvious. Also obvious is that at the same time it is bent on supplying arms to the worst of the worst, it is doing everything in its power to impose infringements on American gun owners. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a quick way to tell your friends from your mortal enemies.

This Day in History: July 1

But as that may not be the case, and as it may be found expedient after our junction with the French Army to take a position lower down – you will keep all your Stores ready to move at a moments warning, by land or water. [More]

Democrats bypass checks and balances to halt open gun carry law in Mississippi

The partisan convergence between Democrat factions in the legislative, executive and judicial branches here to impede and overturn a bill lawfully enacted by the representatives of the whole people hardly ensures the protections they are supposed to be guaranteed by both the Mississippi and United States Constitutions. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner dig shovels through the foul stuff tyrannies are made of.

Three from Constitution Watch

Hey, around here, that's a "spate."

H.R. 2541: To allow certain off-duty law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm to protect children in a school zone.

Because everyone is freer when we have more "Only Ones." Thanks, Republicans!

H.R. 2567: To require that all handguns manufactured, sold in, or imported into, the United States incorporate technology that precludes the average five year old child from operating the handgun when it is ready to fire.

Subversive Speier and the Democrats. Figures. What did I warn about all those years ago?

Unless a drooling moron can hold the gun in his toes and gnaw on the barrel and yank back on the trigger with his (presumably opposable) thumbs in utter and oblivious tranquility, it must be banned. 

H.R. 2566: To modify the definition of armor piercing ammunition to better capture its capabilities.

Speier and the Democrats again. Evidently, because no text is available yet, it's safe to assume if it penetrates armadillo armor, it's verboten.

Don'tcha just love the way these last two have "Constitutional Authority Statements" and they just blanket refer to Article 1 Section 8?  And wouldn't you just love to see someone who knows ammo grill this ignorant  c-word on camera to produce another "shoulder thing that goes up" moment?

Introducing "the Sentinel"

the Sentinel is a daily publication, featuring an eclectic arrangement of news and entertainment for freedom-lovers, patriots, minarchists, individualists and other "auditable" types. [More]

We're the Only Ones Horny Enough

Nearly a dozen cops, including high-ranking officers, have been named in an explosive investigation detailing cases of sex and sex assault involving a single female employee. In one instance, the alleged sex occurred in a car outside the funeral for a slain Lakeland police officer. [More]

See, I don't even know anybody like this. I just shake my head. What the **** is wrong with these people?

And what claim does some degenerate who can't control himself have on controlling me?

A Terrorist Threat

"In light of recent situations, statements such as the one Justin made are taken seriously,” said an Austin police detective in a statement. [More]

Yeah? What's this fool's name?

These types of "legal" outrages are intolerable acts, and typical of the "Squeeze us ... until our eyeballs bleed" course government has set.

Those of you who'd like to give them one more chance to reconsider, sign the petition. I did, just because, and for no other real reason.
