Are you a JPFO force multiplier?

I understand some have differences, but those are not with JPFO itself, and that’s important enough for me not to automatically abandon my inclination to do what I can to help the organization survive, thrive and grow. If you don’t agree, I’ll not waste any more of your time trying to persuade you. Stop reading and go in peace. This message is intended for those of you who would like to join me in doing what we can to help this entity called JPFO. [More]

My latest JPFO Alert notes it's past time for those who agree to do something about it.

FOIA request filed for school gun video communications

The reason for the request is that without lawful exceptions or permissions, the potential that laws were violated while making the anti-gun video comes into play. That includes whether the production used an actual firearm or even an imitation firearm. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes what a pain "existing gun laws" can be -- particularly for those who want to make more of them.

Two from Workman

• Rally Line-up
• Armed Authorized Journalists?

Yeah, About That "You'd Stand No Chance" Line...

Really? [More]

Why do you think they so desperately want us disarmed?

Armed citizens protective of their rights scare the crap out of totalitarians who know exactly what they're doing.  That Prozi comment trolls seem to believe otherwise is more a testament to their profound ignorance than anything, and they're not the ones who matter.

Where to Begin?

Possibly by asking him to flesh out that scenario where government uses nukes...? [More]

There's no way I'll ever have time to fisk all these @$$holes, and some people seem to be doing a pretty good job of taking him down in comments, but here are some links addressing a couple of the weak points he tries to make:

• Gun ban group goes nuclear in latest hysterical attack on rights advocate
• Bloomberg flacks continue planned attacks on Second Amendment

I found something else about the guy, or at least about his surname I found ironically appropriate:

Desai is an administrative title and surname derived from the Sanskrit words deśa 'land' and svamin 'lord.' 'Desai' is a surname attributed to Hindus who were feudal lords and revenue collectors.

Interesting Legal Philosophy

Unfortunately with so many "victimless crimes" out there, the reverse is more likely the case: Just because you're guilty doesn't mean you did anything that should be illegal. [More]

Shotgun Wedding

Walmart should have sent a courier to pick up the negatives and redone the entire order for free. [More]

And I hope they disciplined the idiot clerk so this never happens again. Too bad her name wasn't released -- I'd love to track her down and find out if this was done because she's ignorant, or because she's... wait, that's ignorant, too.

Men without Chests

Yes, of course "Authorized Journalists" qualify. Remember that next time they call for rougher men to disarm you. [More]

Incidentally, who knows where this uncensored image of Muhammad came from?  I wonder how long it will be before there's a "progressive" demand to remove it in the name of "respect" and "tolerance," along with plenty of after-the-fact apologia should some demonic savages decide they have a more forceful way to compel obedience...?

This Day in History: January 9

You are working to restore to the universe a peace you did nothing to deprive it of; the advantages that American freedom will henceforth and for all time bestow upon humanity will no doubt compensate for the fleeting ills it has caused. [More]

‘Taken 3’ won’t succeed without gun owner patronage

Neeson’s anti-gun sympathies are hardly surprising, this column noted when his last movie, “A Walk Among the Tombstones” was released. The arming of Jews was omitted from “Schindler’s List,” a movie he won an Oscar for, and as a UN "goodwill ambassador" who rejects the founding principles of a culture he chose to join, he has reportedly been entertaining conversion to Islam. It only stands to reason he approves of French citizen disarmament laws. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks why anyone would knowingly give aid and comfort to a sworn enemy -- and what else would you call someone who voluntarily took the citizenship oath and then launched an unprovoked attack on the Bill of Rights?

Oh, Didn't You Know? He Invented the Slinky.*

If you found yourself caught in situation, how do you think your reaction capabilities would measure up?

We're the Only Ones Corrective Enough

The former state corrections officer who killed himself at a Lakewood gun range Monday was expected to be sentenced this week to three years in prison. [More]

Nice to know the type who will be guarding the new "criminals" Christie is intent on creating.

And this, of course, is the problem of making policy by grief -- you want to sympathize, but then they go and blame/attack everyone and every thing but the person responsible:

"My son went there by himself," his mother said, adding later: "That place should be shut down."

Naturally, there's an "Only Ones" exemption for the "alone" rule.
Still, just to be consistent, I suppose she'd demand the same if he'd hanged himself in her garage...?

A "Progressive" Opposite Day Double-Header

• Paris attackers weren't Muslims
• Pointing out Black on Black violence is racist

With that last one, I guess I'd better can my idea for a #blackonblacklivesmatter hashtag...

No Kidding. You Don't Say.

Children living in unwed-mother homes are more likely to witness domestic violence than children growing up with their married mother and father, says a new analysis. [More]

I'm sure you could break it down even further, but that wouldn't serve the purposes of those who lump everyone together like one big homogeneous pool:

“The presence of a firearm in a domestic violence situation makes it five times more likely that the woman will be killed.”

I guess poor choices about the character of those whom you welcome into your life have nothing to do with it -- it's the gun. If only they would disarm you and me!

Gomer has been moved by this latest news, and would like to break in with a relevant reaction, followed by an observation from special guest commentator, The Duke.

Exclusive: The Devil You Know

That the allegations and the fear of reprisals turned out to be justified is a matter of record. I bring this up because, working with the insiders proved us right then, and lends credence to our concerns now. In spite of all the stupidity, corruption and outright evil, disbanding ATF is not in the interest of gun owners. [More]

My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch column is now online. After seeing it there, I emailed my editor and asked him to change the word "disbanding" to "dispersing," which is what I meant.

Crusading "Journalists"

Yeah, that's what I thought. [More]

I take it everybody is familiar with this by now?

Anybody fluent in French?  Google Translate doesn't always give the most accurate conversion, and I'd like to get this right:

As an aside, I wonder how many Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists have beefed up ARMED security in the wake of this.
