It's All a Misunderstanding

IOW, the Administration has misrepresented the position of the NFATCA, which I find unsurprising. Leftists and Marxists have always sought to divide their opposition, frequently through the use of false flag operations and disinformation. [More]

My response:

How about you get them to post their original petition that kicked this whole thing off so we can see for ourselves where the disinformation is coming from and how badly they've been misrepresented?

Funny that they haven't done that already, and instead think an after-the-fact statement and  clean-up pledge will suffice.

As an aside, I did get a laugh out of the phrase "collaborative work environment."

‘Gun control’ no solution against criminals with ‘total disregard of life’

“The new criminal we’re seeing, they’re bold, they’re brazen, and they have a total disregard for life,” Cabrera admitted. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes that maybe anti-gun politicians have a point, and perhaps anyone ignorant enough to vote for gungrabbers really is too ignorant to be trusted with a gun.

NFA firearms collectors group initiated ATF gun trust rule change

The rule change itself, the draft continues, was instigated by a petition from the National Firearms Act Trade and Collectors Association. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at some enlightened self interest, which is a pretty nice way of saying a group invested in  appreciable assets is stumping for more "gun control" for a reason.

Not That I Want to Make Trouble for Anyone, But...

...with all the militant gun owners out there insisting companies leave states like Colorado and Connecticut, I'm surprised no one has expressed similar sentiments about NRA teaching law enforcement-only classes in those states.

In light of recent edicts, I have a tough time enthusiastically accepting this as being in the best interests of members like me:

And a Splendid Time is Guaranteed for All

With officials from the Judicial Branch demanding that Congress end across the board budget cuts from the sequester, federal judges from the Tenth Circuit start to gather today for a judicial conference at a "five star" Colorado resort that features three golf courses and a "scenic mountain backdrop." [More]

Tenth Circuit, eh?

So while the Reese family continues their interminable waiting for justice, denied their own earned resources on which they can sustain themselves with the basics and defend themselves against two years of persecution, these robed parasites are out there living the high life on our dime without a care in the world.

Mississippi Supreme Court overturns injunction against House Bill 2

“This Court now finds that the Circuit Judge erred as a matter of law when he found House Bill 2 to be vague and, therefore unconstitutional,” the Supreme Court found. “He also erred when he stated that ‘a reasonable person reading the bill could not discern what the law allows and what it prohibits.’" [More]

This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner brings some happy news from the Magnolia State, where an anti-gun judicial activist has not only been overturned, he’s been exposed for all the world to see as an agenda-driven incompetent.

And Laugh They Did...

...until they crossed the Macon County line... [More]

Seems no sooner did gun owners get a reason to celebrate when the antis threw up an illegal roadblock.

Grassroots North Carolina tells us about the latest "official" outrage, where the Macon County School board is considering an unlawful gun ban, and what we can do about it.

This is totally me talking, and I hope it doesn't make GRNC wince: Do you realize how lucky you are to have leaders of the caliber of Paul Valone and his colleagues, who take point on this stuff with awareness, energy, knowledge and commitment? If you're a North Carolina gun owner who benefits from their advocacy, and if you don't share this latest alert, take a moment to do what they ask, and then kick a bit into the kitty to help supply the front line troops doing the fighting, how is that any different from being, say, a welfare parasite?
