If Only We'd Fielded a Democrat!

Former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, a GOP moderate who represented Fairfield County for 21 years in Congress, said the GOP could have taken the gun-control issue off the table by nominating McKinney. "Our party is so hurting," Shays said. "You don't let one group determine who a candidate should be when gun control is a non-existent issue compared to what our state is faced with. We're losing jobs and we're losing wealth." [More]

Yeah, right, McKinney.  Does this fool think he'd have gotten anywhere near as close as Foley with gun owners sitting out the election?

Besides, since when do unalienable rights matter, compared to selling out?

Keep thinking it's a non-existent issue, Shays, you total enemy.  Funny, how "legitimate news media" presents itself as the arbiter of what's "moderate."

"Republicans" like him are more contemptible than any "progressive," and that's saying a lot.

Reese family sentenced to time served, probation and fines

In spite of the prosecutor asking for five years, Judge Robert C. Brack ruled the family, with no prior criminal record, did not pose a threat and that probation was appropriate. Because the convictions are for felonies rather than misdemeanors, which the family had unsuccessfully moved to vacate, they are now considering their legal options. As convicted felons, they are prohibited from owning firearms by federal law. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes not being kept in a cage hardly makes one free.  As an aside, the dick prosecutor going for five years illustrates the malevolent nature of sadists and psychopaths in the Orwellian-named "Department of Justice." If they can, they will crush and destroy you in their relentlessly cruel and brutal drive to advance their careers.

Thanks for Noticing

In January 2011, journalists David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh picked up the Gunwalker story from CleanUpATF.org. They began to investigate and report their findings as well as precipitate a Senate Judiciary Committee inquiry into the matter led by U.S. Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA). Codrea and Vanderboegh have zealously attempted to publicize the issue ever since. Their hard work finally paid off when Fox News started to report the story and CBS began a full length investigation. [More]

Well-intended statements from readers notwithstanding, recognition outside of a tiny pond is important for many reasons.

A Right or a Privilege?

Florida Carry advises "Tomorrow ...at 10 am, the 4th Florida District Court of Appeal will hear oral arguments on Norman v. State." [More]  

They're asking Sunshine State gun owners who can to attend in person. They're asking those who can't to watch the proceedings live at a link they provide. They're asking us all to pass the word along, to inform as many as we can.

Why not make that today's Five-Minute Activism project?

My Favorite Gun Kapo

Mike Weisser is my favorite gun dealer. [More] 

And why is Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist Joe Nocera, who never misses an opportunity to try to drive in a divide-and-conquer wedge, so enamored?  Did he buy one of those "40,000 guns" his new-found hero has put "on the street"? (Say, I wonder if any of those have been "traced"?)

I asked Weisser how his business has been. He told me that he stopped selling guns at retail earlier this year. 

So Joe's favorite gun dealer is one who doesn't sell guns. There's an opening for Gomer if I ever heard one.

Be nice to prove that gun owner refusal to give aid and comfort to the enemy had a lot to do with that development...

Be Careful Who Your Friends Are

I got a Facebook "friend" request from some woman I'd never heard of.  I get those from time to time, often scammers, some suggesting a virtual "relationship," but this one only had a photo of the person in question, with no other information. Before confirming the request, I noticed she had one friend, and when I clicked to go see his page, his top post bragged about impregnating our wives and mothers to create more anchor babies.

The moral of this story is, don't just trust that a friend request means the person actually wants to be your friend. I know for most this will sound kind of "No, Duh!" basic, but you might be surprised how many well-meaning people end up with regrets for not doing even a basic check.

We have plenty of enemies out there, who want to disrupt things just because of what we believe in. There's a myth that a vampire cannot cross your threshold unless you invite him in.  Make sure anyone you do is not bothered by symbols of virtue.

Which reminds me...

We're the Only Ones Disenfranchising Enough

Seeing as how Mr. Kennedy did not "obstruct, intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he or she may choose, or for the purpose of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for state or local office or any other proposition at any election," Sheriff's Capt. Ken Burchfield has some explaining to do. [More]

Will their Republican sheriff-elect do anything about it?

You can always ask him...
