Standing Up

It sure beats groveling. [More]

And what if activists let every club and range and dealer in Oregon know if they do not help out, their lack of support will be noted and made known?

There ought to be a list of criteria for businesses to fulfill, after which they can be listed as preferred for patronage -- and another for those who are no better than collaborators.  Kind of a "seal of approval" or some such...

We're the Only Ones Unrecorded Enough

There’s only one apparent reason for imposing a higher penalty on people who record police in particular: to make people especially afraid to record police. [More]

Isn't that the whole point?

It would help if articles like this made it convenient to determine who voted for this police state enabler, so that we the people could hold them accountable.  If I weren't in a hurry to handle another priority, I'd go looking.

Who ARE These Guys?

That's something I'm trying to look into. [More]

First I've got to find out where they're registered. News accounts make it sound like a DC operation, and I don't see anything listed with various secretaries of state in likely places like New York.  Naturally, the DC corporations website differs from every other I've tried in terms of offering an intuitive way to do an entity search -- perhaps it's there but not obvious to me.  In the interim, I've sent this, not that I have high hopes it will be responded to:

My guess is we'll find a familiar name behind it -- one with an MO of hiding from the media until he wants something, at which point they all line up to give him all the free advertising a grassroots-trampling billionaire could ask for.

Oh, and Barbara Bollier? There's literally no difference between your public position and Barack Obama's.If I lived in Kansas, I'd make you a special project.  Let's hope gun owners there do, and tell doctrinaire "Republicans" they can offer acceptable candidates or they can go to hell.

Hogan's Zeroes

Yeah, you wouldn't want to "get bogged down tinkering with" protecting unalienable rights, would you, you fraud? [More]

Hey, you got what you wanted. Why pay after you've been serviced? Besides, the other guy's wasn't as clean.

Naturally, "An NRA representative did not comment on the new word from Hogan." Hey, what could he possibly add?

New Rules

Anybody see anything about not using Second Amendment advocacy for fusion center profiling? [More]

A Victim of White Privilege

Obviously a casualty of discrimination...[More]

Anybody remember stoop tag?  Even as a kid, I always thought it was just about the dumbest game, instinctively chafing at phony imposed protections from the penalties and rewards of competition. This reminds me of that, except instead of stooping when about to be caught, these "adults" just yell "Racist!"

I'm sure real racism victims of the past would have totally identified with Whitaker's plight, and not thought he was pissing on a struggle they died for in the name of shallow personal motives.

Gassing Mascots

Several thousand people, some dressed as animal characters, were evacuated from a Hyatt hotel in suburban Rosemont when an “intentional” chlorine gas incident at the hotel, which was hosting the Midwest FurFest convention, sent 19 people to hospitals early Sunday. [More]

I'm sorry, I know freedom provides for all kinds and it's not right for one man to discourage the pursuit of happiness deemed desirable by another, but I have admittedly limited horizons in some areas and my first thought is, with all the threats out there to those pursuits, "What kind of adult would find this something worthwhile to spend considerable time and money on?"

Evidently this kind (click graphic to enlarge):

Chicago Airport Hyatt Regency? Oh, gosh, it looks like some rule-breakers and scofflaws could have gotten into all kinds of trouble for taking measures to ward off real beasts.

Push to destroy toy guns raises questions media not asking

Matthews is a bit more of a known quantity. The “community activist” formerly served as co-director of Birmingham’s Office of Citizen Assistance under then-Mayor Larry Langford. Langford, in turn, was one of Michael Bloomberg’s “Illegal Mayors” who was sentenced by a federal judge to 15 years for “bribery, fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and filing false tax returns.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner reports notes a curious preponderance of criminal Bloomberg associates among those who don't even want the rest of us to have BB guns.

This Day in History: December 9

Gun disability relief funding ban could be challenged in spending bill

If restrictions remain unchallenged, it will recall the many times rules objectionable to gun owners have quietly been allowed to remain in place. Still, there is one change that could be insisted on now, and if it derailed the spending approval process either in a Harry Reid-controlled Senate, or if Barack Obama rejected it, that decision would fall squarely on the Democrats: Congress could, if it wanted to, restore funding to allow for relief of firearms disabilities -- or at least it could after January if it passed a short term resolution and left the long term bill for the incoming majority.

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the more we're told things will change, the more they invariably stay the same.
