Academics, Politicians and Journalists Not Greatest Domestic Threat despite LaPierre Assertion

There are over 80 million gun owners. We could have uninfringed RKBA tomorrow, and no one would dare do a damn thing about it.  [More]

He's found a convenient target to direct anger toward -- but while admittedly grave, it's hardly the greatest threat.

Vanderboegh Update

Mike and Rosey in much happier times...

This question came up in my last post about the planned memorial for Mike:

What happened to all the donations sent in for a grave stone?

[Click to view]

Per Rosey:

The monument has been seated since late August.  They had to wait until they could put the death date on it.  I have pictures but I have yet had the courage to go see it in person.  Its seated near a church they had planted there with 2 park benches flanking it. 

Sadly, she now finds herself battling cancer of her own. If you'd like to help, You can send checks, money orders or cash to:

Rosey Vanderboegh

PO Box 926

Pinson, AL 35126

She's also evidently getting some help bringing the long-awaited "Absolved" into being. I've received some incredibly ugly and ignorant correspondence on that from bitter losers of no consequence, accusing me of knowing about pre-order funds, ignoring the fact that the man was long and painfully dying, unable to sustain focus and never satisfied with the end product. All of that resulted in his stated intentions to finish the book being thwarted time and again.

If any want to argue with that, they can go to hell, and they're not worth my time to acknowledge. My understanding is the "final" was on a thumb drive that cannot be located. How that will be worked around I cannot say, but I stand ready to help with promotion if and when appropriate.

UPDATE: For anonymous cowards who wonder why their comments won't be posted... Go desecrate somebody else's grave.

[T]he hunger strike is "symbolic" and protesters can leave and get food when they can no longer go on. [More]

Talk about commitment! And if it's Yale, they can even afford to have it catered.

What a debasing of the word "hunger."

Police flood Alabama Capitol, ask lawmakers to keep concealed carry permit requirement [More]

So they admit to being oath breakers?

And they're still employed?

About That 'National Conversation on Guns' the Antis Said They Wanted to Have...?

What? They didn't really mean it? [More]

I'm shocked.

Natural(ized) Rights

And I think the questioning today makes it chillingly clear that the government's position, in this case, would subject all naturalized Americans to potential denaturalization at the hands of an aggressive prosecutor. [More]

If that's the case, would it have any bearing on how they should answer Form 4473 question A.12.c. to stay truthful, or would they need to be convicted first?

And how should they -- and others it applies to -- answer A.6, assuming former AG Lynch was giving a legal opinion?

¿Armas para Que?

What an Opposite Day forward-thinking and "progressive" idea!

And Remember, with 'Progressives,' Every Day is Opposite Day

 It now appears that West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who ran as a pro-life candidate and still calls himself pro-life, is following the party line. He is voting in favor of abortion and has posed for a picture holding an "I Stand with Planned Parenthood" sign. [More]

So that means when he say's he's "pro-gun"... ?

Stewart Rhodes and John Karriman note the Berkeley event went smoothly. [More]

It's Ann Coulter's loss that she did not go. I think that will follow her.

UPDATE: Stewart talks to The Los Angeles Times.

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

Appeals court bans Cleveland gun registry, regulations [More]

Kudos for your legal victory, OFCC.

I guess Action Jackson and the Council will need to find something else to redirect attention away from their miserable incompetence.

At least we're not Detroit.

We're the Only Ones 'For the Children' Enough

“This is what happens when guns get into the hands of youth,” he said. [More]

Really? You'd rather have seen all those kids dead than armed, "Only One" Perez?

You don't think it might be ... I dunno ... something else, you statist dope?

The conditioning must be damn near complete for someone to call this in.

We're the Only Ones Warning Enough

As part of the section on the use of deadly force, the consensus was that warning shots should be considered by police when they are in a situation warranting the use of deadly force. [More]

Between that and "shoot to wound" proposals, we ought to see all kinds of opportunities for unintended consequences...

More Dots to Connect

Earlier this year, according to Schmidt, the NRA approached USCCA to talk about partnering to create a program that looks a lot like what the larger group is now marketing as Carry Guard. Schmidt said he walked an NRA representative through how USCCA’s coverage works. But then he never heard anything more from the NRA about the plan — until he got the letter disinviting him from the convention in Atlanta. [More]

That's in line with information I had when I wrote my first piece on this but did not elaborate on. It's not uncommon to have more raw "intel" than is disclosed in a story due to different levels of corroboration for different elements. There is more on what was done to Second Call Defense as well that has not been made public -- yet.

I hope people at the Annual Meeting give NRA an earful.

The Data is Conclusive

Democrat dominance is a deadly public health issue:

MURDERS IN US VERY CONCENTRATED: 54% OF US COUNTIES IN 2014 HAD ZERO MURDERS, 2% OF COUNTIES HAVE 51% OF THE MURDERS [More]

Alien: Contradiction

Ridley Scott: Aliens exist and they will come for us ... He said: "Nothing scares me. I have a 9mm (pistol). [More]

So naturally, being an Opposite Day alien "progressive," he acts as apologist and historical revisionist for current invaders and enjoys a freedom his Brit "homeworld," and those plotting the cultural terraforming there and here, will not allow.

Fake News Feed

Google, in its role as arbiter of what qualifies for its news feed, has decided that my exclusive on the federal judge declaring the New Jersey stun gun ban unconstitutional because it violates the Second Amendment, is not newsworthy.

As with my exclusive on the state AG making that admission, look for news feed presence on this latest development once Big Boy Media "reports" on it a few days later.

California ‘Catch-22’ on ‘Assault Weapons’ Evokes Fundamental Question for Gun Owners

Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880 became effective Jan. 1 of this year and part of the new law requires those who have assault weapons to register them by Jan. 1 2018,” CBS 13 Sacramento reports. “But the website to do so isn’t working.” [More]
