A Celebrity Endorsement

This prompted finding this and sending this.

Reid domestic terrorism charge would disarm ideological opponents if acted upon

Does he truly wish for those whom he politically disagrees with to forever lose federal recognition of their right to keep and bear arms?[More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes what would happen if “true champion of the Second Amendment” Harry Reid’s advocacy for treating Bundy Ranch supporters as “domestic terrorists” were acted upon.

Observations on BLM

Chris Woodard looks at constitutionality. [More]

Prozi Tolerance

What is it about "gun rights prevention" advocates...?  Aside from the fact that they would love to have their murderous fantasies actualized (by others)?

Technicalities

Weinstein ruled that the search warrant did not specify which unit in the multi-family home was to be searched, thereby making what cops found in Wiggins’ home inadmissable. [More]
Funny, how Weinstein doesn't care about pesky legalities when he gets a chance to put the hit on gun makers.

And as for Liberty Lynchin' Patrick, maybe he should have just claimed the suspects lifted a finger at his guys, and saved everybody a court date...?

A Properly Prepared Form

Plus it's legible! [More]

I've thought about monkeywrenching things by having people fill out forms but entering wrong data, like names, addresses, serial numbers, etc., so that it's not readily apparent and time and effort gets expended processing them.  Bonus points would be awarded to those casting the eye of Sauron on "gun rights prevention" drones and MILMs...

Unintended Consequences

We're the Only Ones Politically Impossible Enough

"Home Held Hostage"... [Details]

Mike's Just Wild About Harry

He's even giving him an award! [More]

I wonder if Wayne still is, especially after this:
Or this...

New York Republican "Justice"

"The ruling, handed down on Thursday by state Supreme Court Judge Thomas McNamara, also says Robert Schulz and his co-plaintiffs did not prove that the Safe Act infringes on their state constitutional rights." [More]
No, of course not.

What do you expect from a functionary appointed by Pataki?

This is what happens when you accept anti-gun Republicans under the excuse that if you don't, you'll get a Democrat.

As Hillary asks...

Help Needed--Including with Media Relations

Oath Keepers puts out a plea for ongoing support at Bundy Ranch. [More]

Stewart is doing great work there, and made Mike's attendance possible.

That said, and as much as I have supported the group over the years, they absolutely need to shut down guys like this in no uncertain terms before irreparable damage is done. (Yeah, look at the cap.) If he can't handle the pressure, send him home.

I know people are tired and nerves are frayed, but there's really no excuse, especially as pervasive media coverage is exactly what is needed to prevent another Waco. And unnecessary drama like in the linked video does nothing but alienate.

I intend to speak to him about this.

This Day in History: April 18

The repairs most necessary at the post of West Point (agreeably to the report of Major Villefranch Commanding Engineer there) are to be sett about immediately and executed with the greatest dispatch. [More]

By Popular Demand

Popular gun rights writer David Codrea noted ... in his Examiner.com blog that he “warned back in 2009 that Obama’s pick to head the [federal job safety] agency, David Michaels, was strongly anti-gun and committed to using regulatory schemes to get his way.” [More]
Well, thank you for the kind characterization, and I can only wish, but in truth, one Miley Cyrus crotch-grabbing story in the "legitimate" press will attract more eyes in a day than the entire body of my work has done since I first started.

The ol' pH Factor 'n all...

We're the Only Ones Family-Oriented Enough

I am taking care of me… I am afraid. At that moment I did not know he was handcuffed. I responded the way I was trained to respond. I reacted to what I saw. If I fail, I don’t come home to my family.”[More]
We could say the same thing...

Today's One-Minute Activism

We can do better than this (poll on right side of article). [More]

Take it and get others to follow suit.

#WeAreEverywhere

We’re going through the proper process for transitioning our Demand Action page to ‘Everytown,’ which takes a few weeks, and acquiring trademark protection for both Everytown and Everytown for Gun Safety. Once that happens, we expect Facebook to shoo these cybersquattters politely off this name/page.” [More]
Hey, what happened to getting there first? These dopes never thought of claiming names before they committed to them?

Should we let them know about this, too? [UPDATE: And this?]

Here's one thing they can't derail: They're promulgating the Twitter hashtag #WeAreEverytown which just cries out to be met with #WeAreEverywhere.
