Notes from the Resistance...
“If reports are true that the NRA’s leadership engaged in blatant illegal campaign coordination, this news would not only be an insult to NRA members but a serious threat to the integrity of the presidential election," Peter Ambler, executive director of Giffords said in a statement. [More]If I understand all the convoluted relationships right, it appears Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek will be sharing cells with Wayne and Chris while Gabby and Mark let slip the dogs of war...

Pro-gun control Dick’s Sporting Goods sales down, will close 35 stores [More]It's not reflected on day-to-day stock trades, but look at the last five years. I'd love to see Stack sued into a barrel.
A criminal complaint says a DEA agent traded inside information for bribes which helped facilitate drug shipments to north Florida and Arkansas. [More]God help me, I'm not automatically discounting crucifixion...
An NYPD cop fired the shots that injured a 12-year-old girl and left a 46-year-old woman in severe condition during a wild shootout in the Bronx ... Neither Gomez nor his partner Brandon Gembecki activated the body cameras they were wearing... [More]Rules Two, Three and Four just aren't as important as Taking Care of Number One.
Rising perceptions of insecurity have been cited as a key factor in the increase in issued licenses. Some have warned that the increase could contribute to situations similar to the US, where gun violence is rampant. [More]That's because "some" are liars who know the problems are not with those "law-abiding" enough to get licensed.
And as we all know, Prohibition didn’t work. [More]I beg to differ.
On their broadcast this afternoon 710 KNUS talk radio personalities Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden accused Bethany Candelaria, a newly-hired Marketing and Communications Professional of making racist, anti-Christian, anti-Trump and other offensive posts on her personal page. A sampling of the posts includes: “I enjoy offending white people. It’s just so easy,” as well as “Go f*ck yourselves, America.” [More]Finally, some refreshing "public servant" honesty!
Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department of the fatal shooting of Richard “Gary” Black. [Watch]So failure to immediately obey screamed commands, which could be attributed to a number of reasons including confusion, shock, hearing impairment, etc., should be enough...?
John Rich Challenges Pro-Gun Control Singers to Debate the Issues [More]The thing is, they've found it doesn't hurt them...
A former Baltimore police officer has admitted to the FBI that he stole money, lied in police reports and improperly used electronic surveillance devices, federal prosecutors in California said — widening the scope of police misconduct unearthed by the Gun Trace Task Force scandal. [More]So why'd he have to resign from ATF...?

'We’re going to kill you': Nicaragua's brutal crackdown on press freedom [More]Gosh, it's almost like when Marxists take over, the useful "social justice"idiots that helped them suddenly become useless eaters...
‘Your time is up’ South Africa sets date for white farmer land grabs – March 2019 [More]Nah, just kidding. Surrender and die anyway.
“He alone created the violence, and he alone bears responsibility for his course of action,” Ayub said. “The burden lies solely with him – not those who tried to save lives..." [More]The consistency test here is to ask if the sheriff would take the same position had it been a lawfully armed citizen whose good intentions resulted in tragedy.
The very first one I semi-randomly selected (wanted something recent) was a guy who drove around town and shot out windows randomly — and happened to include a school — with a BB gun. [More]I may have a way to come up with a way to establish an objective definition: Did the armed "school resource officer" retreat and take shelter? If "yes," it qualifies.
Police did not specify what the weapons were, only that they were owned legally and "were voluntarily surrendered to police at the juvenile's residence by his parents," according to the statement. [More]And there was no "or else" attached to their "request"?
"These acts are not taken as jokes, and should never be used in a joking manner." Police said that any such remarks or posts "must be investigated as a threat, until proven otherwise, and those involved will be charged accordingly."The "authorities" being the arbiters of acceptable speech limits and proclaiming citizens are guilty until proven innocent don't exactly ease my concerns about freedom in New Jersey.
