Notes from the Resistance...
The murderous Fort Hood shooting spree last week could have been prevented if military leaders were allowed to carry firearms on base, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul said Sunday. [More]Great idea Mike-- that way, only MAJOR Hassan would have been armed for the first shooting spree!
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) has introduced a bill called the "Contempt Act," which would prevent current and future federal employees from collecting their taxpayer-funded salaries as long as they're being held in contempt of Congress. [More]Unfortunately:
Prognosis 18% chance of getting past committee.Contemptible.
5% chance of being enacted.
He also had good reason to suspect his target locations would offer slim resistance. A phone call placed by an ally working with the Kansas State Rifle Association to the Jewish Center went unanswered due to the Passover holiday, but a call to Village Shalom confirmed they are posted "No Guns." A follow-up visit this morning showed both facilities are posted. Even though such signs don't carry the force of law in the Sunflower State, except to pursue trespass charges if a person asked refuses to leave, they serve to establish both a notice to those with evil intent, as well as a cultural expectation among patrons and visitors, so that even people in parking lots who habitually frequent such facilities will likely not be armed. [More]Oh, and despite what the Every Day is Opposite Day "progressives" would like us to believe, there's some inconvenient documented information on a notorious political movement they'd rather we remained unaware of...
Police remove a body from the scene of a multiple fatal stabbing in northwest Calgary. Five people died from their injuries. [More]Because as the gun rights prevention control freaks love to remind us, knife attacks aren't deadly, or dangerous, or something like that... Hell, just ask Sharon Tate!
“USA Brass passed a subsequent inspection by OSHA,” Marbut wrote. “However, upon OSHA’s first visit, I’m told, USA Brass managers didn’t kneel quickly enough to OSHA inspectors and offended them by not being subserviently cooperative. So, the subsequent raid by EPA, FBI and others was conducted to teach them a lesson about federal power and proper cooperation.” [More]Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes with some brassy federal egos, “Kneel before Zod!” appears to be more than just a movie trope.
I try to stay within the basic confines of the gun issue even though so many other areas cry out--RKBA just seems the best place to apply my energies, plus I don't have a forum for essays outside of that. In re a flat tax, without forcing the govt back into proper Constitutional restraints, that won't stanch the spending and borrowing, it will simply change which pocket they get their plunder from, and I don't believe it would be possible politically to enact without carving out means-based exemptions to ensure Democrat dependency reigns supreme--and to continue bleeding the productive. I would actually prefer the feds having to go to the states for funds based on apportionment, which would certainly cause some to challenge, withhold, sue, delay, rebel, and explore what they can do cheaper for themselves or do away with altogether--that along with returning appointments of senators to state legislatures to get rid of urban domination and give us a more direct and effective way of extracting revenge for bad confirmation votes would be two reforms I'd like to be able to wave my magic wand to enact.That along with enforcing "shall not be infringed"...
“I love the idea of tasers for neighborhood guardians, because they usually are not lethal,” he concludes. [More]Sorry, pal. You still still don't get it, and it's a little late to trust that you'll ever learn.
...you can’t just ignore the laws we don’t like. [More]HA!
From FL. Carry, Sean Caranna, from Ct. Citizens Defense League, Scott Wilson, the great Alan Gottlieb, regular contributors David Codrea and George Hill along with special in-studio guests trainer Rob Pincus and world famous tattoo artist and Pincus student, Brandon Bond. Calls, emails, “Grilling While Armed” and MORE!
I believe we have no spare arms; however, I will make more strict enquiry, and let you know. Arms are expected from the Northward, but they will be a long time on the road, if we are to judge of the future by the past. [More]
There are some very powerful people who have done their best to cover up what really happened at the Bundy ranch in Clark County Nevada. Fortunately they failed. [More]Will the establishment dare allow Harry Reid to be investigated?
