Standing Up to Bigots

If the endorsed prohibition in Newtown were against a certain gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation, the public would be outraged, and rightfully so! [More]

Bill Stevens tells me "this is also going to be in the weekly print edition of the Newtown Bee this Friday, and I have a RTC meeting tomorrow night with Llodra... should be interesting!"

Interesting indeed:

Llodra, a Republican, earned a standing ovation when President Barack Obama came to town, and he applauded her by name at his visit to Newtown earlier this month. She has made four trips to Washington, D.C., to talk about gun control, while back home she was organizing conversations about the fate of the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Connecticut "Republicans" embracing "progressive" ignorance and hate would do well to heed a change in the wind.

This Day in History: August 28

I am much pleased that our Friend General Greene has been able to restore our broken affairs in the Carolinas. I must confess his success has been far beyond my most Sanguine expectations. I wish ardently that the great New England States would exert them selves once more to give you an army to Chastize those Boasters that speake such bigg swelling Words in New Yorke. [More]

Documentary to show ‘Second Amendment in crosshairs’

Gun rights advocates who see a value in countering the well-funded media efforts of control zealots like Michael Bloomberg, the constant barrage of anti-gun sentiment promulgated by so-called “news,” and the mindless cheer-leading of Hollywood numbskulls that serve only to egg on a fan base that values being entertained over being free have a chance to put their money where their mouth is. As of moments ago, the “Infringed” Kickstarter page went live and is now open to receive contributions to help make this important project a reality. [More]

This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report asks gun owners who complain of unfair mass media treatment what it's worth to them to counter such messages.

Conn. gun rights group rejects ‘lockstep’ GOP gubernatorial candidate Boucher

“Very simply, gun owners have had it with these lawmakers." [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes some activists who are refusing to be used, and who are putting turncoat Republicans on notice.

Another Public/Private Partnership

Hey, what's wrong with a little common sense press control? [More]

The Suppressor of Record

Because the Times is the nation’s “newspaper of record,” and you are unquestionably the nation’s leading reporter of stories... [More]

Yeah, they've done such a bang-up job on "Gunwalker."

Asignación de Datos

This illustrates one of the main ways government creates a national demand for enhanced militarized policing and "gun control," and public/private partnership mouthpieces like award-winning plagiarist Sari Horwitz are right there to cheer them on. [More]

We're the Only Ones Roughing It Enough

"Alcohol is suspected," Whitmore said. "This is gross negligence." [More]

Really Steve? It's not more than that?

Is that what you'd be telling the papers about me if I'd shot a gun to scare off feral pigs invading my campsite?  Would your colleague Wes Simmons be dismissing it all with a chuckle?

Yeah, these state-sanctioned gang thugs are the "Only Ones" we can trust to carry guns, right California?  Right, L.A. Times?

The Thug Report

Interesting website.  That body count table ought to be a widget. [More]

A culture that allows this cannot long survive.

We're the Only Ones Informed Enough

"Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation," Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub said on Monday. [More]

Yeah, just give 'em what they want.  Even if what they want is you.

If Shorty had given them what they deserve, the young worthies would be the latest martyrs to exploit and stir up rage for.

A Public/Private Partnership

Interesting. Try to call Hillary, get a call back from the head of Google's main squeeze. [More]

And remember: Don't be evil!

It's a MAD House! A MAAAD HOUSE!!!

As in "Mapping Arms Data"... [More]

Just think what we can do with this once we have universal registration! 

Technology, of course, can be used or abused.  In the hands of globalist bedwetters it will tell one story, but this tool actually has some cool potentials someone who knows the right information to collect -- say a John Lott or a Gary Kleck -- could no doubt make productive use of.

The site being reported on takes a bit of time to load and is not supported by IE, so they say to use Firefox or Chrome. I have no idea how or if it works with stuff like Tor or not.

Murderers for Gun Control

Boy, you can sure tell a lot about people from the company they keep. [More]

Kurt just found the second one in a week.

I think Bloomberg needs to bankroll a "Criminals Demand a Plan" group...

This Day in History: August 27

The Whig commanders called out the names of leading Patriot commanders and ordered their forces to attack from different locations, while in reality the same sixty men attacked again. The Whigs continued the deception, convincing many Loyalists that they were under attack by nearly 1,000 men, and causing chaos within the Tory militia. [More]

More on Oath Keepers

"Militialaw's" reply comment deserves a wider read than just leaving it buried under an old post. [More]

I have further rebuttal points I could make, but I just don't have the time to tear into this right now. Oh, what the hell.

I am not one who thinks we are going to vote or sue our way out, so we're not that far apart on that assessment.  I keep going through the motions because I believe the more people we can get to go through the process and see no that relief is allowed will prove valuable.

[UPDATE PARAGRAPH: Plus, every once in a while we manage to advance or at least repel. Note the success of a critical mass relying on the old ways to keep anything from passing on the national level after Newtown -- so far. I was privy to some discussions with some industry insiders and they were convinced we would have to give up something, because Congress couldn't just do nothing. I was part of a small group that insisted we will not be scapegoated and no compromises would be quietly accepted.]

I see assertions like "OK are the only ones who have a chance of succeeding," and phrases like "crossing the Rubicon," and can't respond with knowledge because I don't think anyone knows what the catalyst event is going to be, what the individual tripwires to result in a series of cascading reactions will be, and what other factors will come to play.  And just as whatever unfolds will bring an individual decision to you and me, so will it happen with individual Oath Keepers.  

I believe the OK mission is valuable for setting up a pool of potential allies who will, in some way and due to some reason, result in some worthy allies and some worthy leaders.  I believe that is worth encouraging. Those are beliefs. Sorry, it's the best I've got, and I haven't met the man who can give better.

What I know is that Stewart Rhodes is a man of integrity. I don't agree with him on everything, and I don't agree with every decision he's made, and I'm sure he would say the same thing about me. And I also understand there are considerations that apply to an organization that do not apply to free agents like me, and I accept that, even if I don't always like the results.  But I've been  with the guy on several occasions, he's been my house guest on several others, and I'll tell you right now I would have no problem trusting him to have my back.

We're the Only Ones Resourceful Enough

Because "Resource Officers" are the "only ones" who should have guns in schools, right? [More]

Yeah, right-- the gun discharged.

Alas, Brave New Babylon

WRSA has the latest from Matt Bracken. [More]

Comment critics notwithstanding, I really have nothing but superlatives for the way this man writes, and the knowledge and intelligence he draws from to do it. I've been in awe since the first "Enemies" book.  It figures establishment publishers won't touch him.

If I ever have the dough, and fat chance of that, there are several essential contemporary writers I would be honored to bestow grants on so they could do what they do worry-free.  Bracken would be at the top of my list.

Pyrrhic Victory

Even if she does beat it, what effect will it have on depleting her political warchest? [More]

Because that's how gun activists ended the political career of former CA Senate President Pro Tem David Roberti after the guy shoved through the first semi-auto ban.

Recalls can be wonderful that way--and who cares what it costs the state?

Bipolar poll respondents who say they're against the new gun edicts and also against the recalls need to get their heads out of their hindquarters.
