Gone with the Windbag
Kurt notes Bloomberg deserves to be condemned, often, and by someone who knows how. [More]
With Friends Like These
In the video, Baker can be seen talking about gangs in Newark, and he recounts a story of a friend who was stabbed to death while trying to rob someone. [More]I think I may have stumbled across a relevant consideration here.
Federal court rules interstate handgun transfer ban unconstitutional
In a huge victory for supporters of gun rights, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division issued a ruling Wednesday declaring the federal ban on interstate transfers of handguns unconstitutional. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a big obstacle has been removed, using the enemy's own NICS tool against them. Now all we need do is lose that tool forever.
The More the Merrifield
A Taxing Proposition
Eric Hill of MetroPlan Orlando: What the hell is wrong with you? How about, if you're so hot on the idea, we just track you instead? [More]

Another Obama/Kerry Middle East Triumph
Houthi rebels took all U.S. Embassy vehicles parked at the Yemeni capital's airport and wouldn't let departing U.S. Marines take their weapons with them, a top Sanaa airport official said about the latest evidence of unrest in an Arab nation long seen as key in America's fight against terrorists. [More]As per usual, "folks" are in harm's way without adequate resources in a place of questionable value to Constitutional interests.
Ah well, I'm sure the administration will be able to come up with some comparable examples by Christians from a thousand years ago, to inject some moral equivalency, and to make some of us feel like undeserving, racially-privileged beneficiaries of an evil heritage.
Besides, it's time to take on the Ukraine...
UPDATE: US Marines Deny Handing over Weapons to Houthi Rebels while Leaving Yemen Following Political Unrest
Who Put the Bullet in the Furnace?
For some reason, that old Bill Cosby routine comes to mind... [More]
If ammo is physically restricted, it could create a real danger. I don't think I'd be inclined to risk my life to save someone's property. Matter of fact, I know I wouldn't.

A Secret Deal?
Was Operation Fast And Furious Really Part Of A Secret Deal Between The DEA And Mexico's Sinaloa Drug Cartel? [More]This article is over a year old, but it was just sent to me, if I've blogged about it before I can't find it, and it raises some points I think could stand restating.
I've seen this hypothesis being offered for years, starting with Robert Farago at Truth About Guns. I told him while I acknowledge it is certainly possible, I had no information given to me by any of my sources to corroborate it. He, in turn, dismisses outright that Gunwalker was about setting up conditions to pave the way for more gun control, which Mike and I were directly told early on by an insider who used the term "pad statistics."
I think the way things have unfolded since our first reports lends a bit of credibility to those sources who were feeding us information. That and the four border states reporting imposition since enacted by Holder's DoJ...
I note the bulk of the new "evidence" appears to come from a defendant trying to save his own hindquarters, and the motive of creating doubt by muddying the waters and finger-pointing cannot be discounted. So I have to come back to my original sentiment on this-- it's an interesting theory but I have no information given to me to corroborate it. If anyone has more documentation, I repeat my longstanding recommendations to get it to the Oversight investigators -- I first recommended that a few years back as I recall, yet, for whatever reason, have not seen that happen.
If this does bear out -- and note I've never said it wouldn't, I've only said you can't prove it by anything anyone has told me -- I'd think it would add a great deal of weight to the hypothesis that Hillary's State Department was intimately involved, another flag I haven't seen too many besides Mike and me waving. And that makes the cynical and murderous plot even worse.
Also, importantly, why the White House has shielded Kevin O'Reilly is a mystery I believe would reveal much. No one is asking about that, either.
I wonder if Forbes' "write from the left" contributor Rick Ungar would be interested in following up on some of these leads in addition to the ones he seems fixated on.
"Right wing conspiracy theorist" that I am, I'm not holding my breath.

Well, If You Want the Civil War to Start Sooner Rather Than Later...
We're the Only Ones Open Carrying Enough
Funny. I don't hear anyone screaming "extremist" over a sniper with a "weapon of war suitable only for killing large numbers of people" who is prepared to open fire in the gallery. [More]
If a uniform is all it takes, I've got this "Superman" Halloween costume from a few years back, and I've been meaning to get in some flight time...

All Those Books
That's the way the Morlocks have arranged things.
The Rest of the Story
The Whiskey Rebellion, then, considered properly, was a victory for liberty and property rather than for federal taxation. [More]Which naturally means the hive insect Prozis are using it as a false front for "proving" there is no right to rebellion and that the sole intended purpose of the militia was to support federal tyranny.

Commissioner Martha Schrader, Ex-Wife
Schrader repeatedly mentioned that her family members owned guns (though she was “not allowed” to have them.) [More]I can see why this ranting headcase would be too much even for a Mugwort V-Steamer of a husband.
Your Papers!
Today, air travel, tomorrow, Checkpoint Charlie! [More]
They already have this crap in the southwest, where they harass everybody else while foreign invaders and cartel mules bypass it all on wilderness trails in areas posted to warn Americans from going.
Funny thing-- I don't hear anyone screaming about how requiring government ID will "disenfranchise minorities."
