Death Squads USA

This is not supposed to happen here. [Read]

They're making it more and more improbable that a homeowner will survive. Regardless.  Meaning we have less and less to lose by resisting.

This from the sheriff who thinks it's "the height of insanity" to trust you with semiauto technology.

Meaning he wants them banned.  Meaning if they are, he'll have his men kill you if you defy it.

That's evidently the height of sanity, "Only Ones"-style.

Making Us All Look Bad

A terminal Fudd from an unofficial NRA message board on the Philadelphia outrage*:
This is an unfortunate case. It is an example of a law abiding, legal gun owner being deliberately confrontational and uncooperative with a police officer who has lost fellow officers to people with guns, and whose responsibility it is to make sure that the unknown person walking down the street with a gun is not some nut job out to cause mayhem. The officer has to do that as safely as possible, and it's not too much to ask an unknown person to willingly submit and cooperate with police while his status is being confirmed. It really doesn't matter whether or not the officer knew the letter of the law. He was trying to protect himself and other citizens around him, and legal details would have come to light as the investigation progressed. All this gun toter has accomplished is to further alienate and pit the Philadelphia police department and district attorney against legal gun owners, and we certainly don't need that.  
 May your chains rest lightly, pal. And may your knees not cramp overmuch.  And wipe your chin.

Open challenge to new White House propaganda czar: Let’s talk ‘Gunwalker'

Yo, Lee—wanna talk “Gunwalker”? I mean, it’s obvious from this move that the Administration just doesn’t think poor in-over-his-head Scott Thomasson is up to the containment/spin effort needed to keep attention off the very real blood on its hands. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary welcomes the new leadership for the Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propagandaministerium, and asks him to dance.

Sarcasm aside, this shows how serious these people are about controlling public opinion.  Our tasks as activists spreading the word on "Project Gunwalker" have become even more crucial.

This Day in History: May 24

The Brigadiers and officers commanding brigades will see that there is a sufficiency of Ammunition with their brigades to issue at a moments warning and that their men's Arms and Accoutrements are in the best possible order. [More]
