Coroner Refuses to Release Las Vegas Murderer’s Autopsy [More]So why should we believe he killed himself and why shoudn't we believe the "conspiracy theories"?
Behaving like this, why should we belive his report after he does finally release it?
Why shouldn't we be looking into any vested interest connections he may have?

Sounds Schiffty
So Much for Inviting Public Comment
Commentary from George Pace:
Tabulation:
FOR 5 (five)
OPPOSED 104 (one hundred and four)
I haven't read all the comments (and even my quick tabulation looking through over 100 pages could be off by a couple), but the support is from HPD, Maui Prosecutor, Big Island Mayor Harry Kim, Americans for Democratic Action and one individual.
Now let's see how the committee "translates" that public input into action.
I appreciate everyone who took the time to submit testimony to attempt to defensively defeat legislation to further restrict our rights.
Now, can we please take the same energy and attempt to use it to go on the offense and get the committee chairs to hear the bills to restore our rights (CCW shall issue, handgun mag limit change to 17, and end stun gun ban)? :shaka:
* * * * *What a waste of time. I don't get it. This is "representative government"? Representing who or what?
Chairman starts off the committee meeting by saying that there are too many people who want to testify on SB2046, so (even though you took time off work and came all the way down here and maybe paid for parking, etc.) you won't be able to testify. Why have "in person" testimony if there is a "time limit" that is interpreted to mean the vast majority of people there to testify can't testify? So much for "public input". :crazy: :wtf:
Then there's the fact that only two of the five committee members are present, so there is no "quorum" and they can't do anything after they sit there for 90 minutes listening to all the people they did allow to testify on other bills, and postpone action until at least the next meeting on Feb 6. Why even have the meeting and hear all the "public input" (such as is allowed given the "time constraints") when the majority of the members aren't even there? It's almost like they all have their minds made up before any procedural events (testimony, meetings, votes, etc.) take place, so they haven't really missed anything by missing the meeting and the in person testimony (such as was "allowed"). >:(

Too Little Too Late
To serve Hollywood's marquee felons like Mark Wahlberg (currently brandishing a Glock 17 as a cop in Patriots Day) and Danny Trejo (most recently armed with an M1911A1 pistol in 2013's Machete Kills) — who aren't allowed by law to bear arms — ISS has a roster of realistic electronic guns (also known as e-guns or non-guns) that can stand in for everything from Smith & Wessons to Uzis. [More]Sure, after I exposed him -- and importantly, their liability under U.S. Code for knowingly providing him with real guns.
This after-the-fact cleanup diverts attention from what was done before he was outed. The films all have extensive financial and inventory records with designated retention periods in case of later tax audits. Those include records for the armorers that could be easily checked.
Besides, this slick cover-up ignores one incontrovertible piece of evidence: Pokey trained at Front Sight.
If people are truly interested in "equal justice for all," a nobody rapper should not be treated differently in the eyes of the law than "progressive" Hollywood establishment elites. As ATF did when it showed deliberate indifference.

First They Came for the 'Alt-Right'
Oregon State University Student Leader Was Plastering Racial Slurs on Car Bumpers, Arrested With Eugene Neo-Nazi - Andrew Oswalt has been arrested twice at Oregon universities for spreading hateful messages and carrying a concealed weapon. [More]The cars weren't his?
Yeah, I can see misdemeanor vandalism charges and a monetary restitution order to restore the cars to their original condition and compensate the owners for time spent dealing with it. As for the rest?
The "concealed weapon" was a knife with a 4" blade? Really? (And breaking a cardinal rule, he told an "Only One" he had it on him?)
As for his "hateful messages"?
“Many of the statements I have made do not necessarily comport with my true beliefs, because what I am doing is a form of performance art,” Oswalt said. “I attempt to communicate a particular point through what some would call mockery or lampooning.”You want to see hate, look at those trying to destroy him -- and by extension, anyone not in lockstep with their subversion.

Tancredo Shares Blame for Fundraising Shortfall
“Tancredo stood out as the only representative from Colorado to vote for the final gun-control bill, which allowed just 24 hours for background checks at gun shows but also placed some restrictions on semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity ammunition clips [sic],” The New York Times reported in 1999, explaining why, following the events at Columbine, the congressman bucked his largest campaign contributor, the National Rifle Association, and sided with the gun-grabbers. [More]It was Tancredo’s infidelity on guns after Columbine that violated trust and burned bridges.
