Sue!

Yep.  Been trying to figure out the best way to approach this angle and it looks like this is as good as any. [Read]

That's why I love seeing these things leave the incubator. 

Now how do we get this to their lawyer?

A Treaty Violation?

It doesn't hurt to write and ask.

Them too...

CUM ULLA SELLA 'n all that...

State of...

I wonder at what point they can turn off the sirens? [Read]

I'm tired of this game. Can we play something else?

InfoWars on Gunwalker

What started out as an internet rumor in a forum for disgruntled ATF employees over problems with the ATF operation “Project Gunrunner” has now been picked up by Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and maybe on its way to becoming a full blown scandal. [More]
Every little bit of publicity helps make that so.

I note this is the second piece that's mentioned me but left out Mike, who actually was the first to plant the flag.  I guess in this case, that's not a surprise.

Ah well.

CUM ULLA SELLA 'n all that...

I wonder if there was another headline announcing the surrender? [Read]

Taking AAdvantage?

Anybody conversant enough to know if this policy is compliant with Oklahoma law? I don't see requiring "self disclosure" listed in the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act's "TITLE 21 § 1290.22. Business owner’s rights"...

That's Some "Rub"

So here's the rub. Some of the members of the HPSC feel that the word “carry” needs to be removed before this bill can get out of committee. [More]
Who thinks like this? I mean, really...

Anyway, Iowans, you have a couple hours to make your concerns known and your contacts are at the link.

We're the Only Ones...Oops, Our Bad Enough

Police say they arrested the wrong person in a theft case recently. [More]
So what's the charge for resisting unlawful arrest?

Or would the resulting response more likely fall under approved department protocol?

Don't Take Me Alive

How about just don't take me, period...? [Watch]

Like a Day Without Sunstein

As late as 1980, it would have been preposterous to argue that the Second Amendment creates an individual right to own guns... [More]
Some of us still argue that, commie scumbag.

Register THIS

AN ACT REQUIRING REGISTRATION OF ALL FIREARMS.

To require registration of all firearms.
Introduced by: Rep. Toni E. Walker, 93rd Dist.
Sen. Toni Nathaniel Harp, 10th Dist.
Rep. Gary A. Holder-Winfield, 94th Dist. [More]

Here's the bill.

I know some counsel to be polite.

But this is an act of aggression, an order to obey them or be destroyed.

So my advice would be to tell them to go **** themselves, that if they want to know who has guns assume we all do, and then conduct themselves accordingly.

Special Consideration

Maine man contends amputees should be allowed a switchblade [More]
Well of course they should.

We all should.

Except who is qualified to do that "allowed" part?

I don't think I'd be inclined to inflate anybody's sense of self-importance enough to act like it's any of their damned business until it was time for them to find out.

Of Whistleblowers and Watchdogs

But a lot of legwork was done before this story hit mainstream media. And that's a sidebar as compelling as the need to investigate the gun-to-Mexico allegations.

It appears ATF inside sources first opened up on a whistleblower website critical of ATF, and before long, disclosure expanded through a couple of gun rights bloggers who have since spent much time and effort moving the story forward...


If Codrea and Vanderboegh are where ATF insiders go to leak a story, it suggests some ATF insiders have extreme distrust of their own agency and the bureaucracy surrounding it. [More]
Yes it does.

It's nice to see a few are recognizing there were sources to this story so many late to the party are now staking claims to. 

Reversing Polarity As It Suits Them

Bloomberg's interstate case for sensible gun laws [More]

Ah, one size fits all. You know, that "home rule" these liars keep whining about whehn they hop over to the other side of the fence.

What does Mr. Soetero say about Chicago and Cheyenne?

It doesn't matter.  They can completely contradict themselves in confidence knowing the quality of their followers' intellects.

What they don't understand is, it doesn't matter to some of us, either.

Toning Down the Rhetoric

Politics of hope vs. politics of hatred? [Read]

Of course you realize this means war.

You do realize that?

I doubt they do.  I'll bet they're as clueless and small as they appear.

A Rusty Venture

Plastic pellet incident at Va. school ends in expulsion, assault charges [More]
Good grief.

And here's the measured adult who thinks this is appropriate because "We have an obligation to protect the students in our building from others who pose a threat to the over-all safe learning environment":

Rusty Davis.

I wonder if that's anything like a "Rusty Venture"?

And about this last link--you've been warned.

Be pretty horrible indeed if  continued government destruction results in a situation where the question of why anyone would "need a 31-round clip [sic]" gets answered.

Mainstream press reports shed additional light on ‘Project Gunwalker’

If “monitored” guns somehow made their way across the border because ATF just doesn’t have enough people, why would they condone such a potentially dangerous operation if they didn’t? And if the operation was allowed in conflict with public statements to the contrary, well, reporters can’t force anyone to speak under oath.  Senators can.  [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner demonstrates that when "Authorized Journalists" put their minds to it, they can corroborate what we've been haranguing them to report on.

Also watch a rerun, 24/7, on your computer, when you want to see it.

This Day in History: February 3

The Battle of Beaufort (also known as the Battle of Port Royal Island) was a battle in the American Revolutionary War that took place on February 3, 1779 near Beaufort, South Carolina. The British commander of forces at Savannah, Georgia, General Augustine Prevost, sent 200 British regulars to seize Port Royal Island at the mouth of the Broad River in South Carolina. American General Benjamin Lincoln, the American commander in the south, sent General William Moultrie from Purrysburg, South Carolina with a mixed force composed mainly of militia, but with a few Continental Army men, to meet the British advance. The battle was largely inconclusive, but the British withdrew first, eventually returning to Savannah. [More]
