Force Multipliers Wanted: Inquire Within

I need for everyone who regularly visits WarOnGuns to visit and share my Gun Rights Examiner links. I don't ask for tips and I don't ask for donations. I don't send out fundraising emails to any list. This I do ask for.

While I'm sure some return visitors are hostile, wouldn't mind me starving and just want to keep an eye on things, I figure I'm safe assuming the vast majority of you who come here regularly do so because you get value from the work -- otherwise, why would you keep returning? This is addressed to you whom that assumption applies to.  The rest of you can leave.

If you're worried about stupid Examiner pop-ups, you can't be safely on the internet anyway if you don't know how to install a blocker add-on. So consider this the right prod to make your experience better on all kinds of websites, because sites like WND and The Blaze, etc., also inundate those who allow it. Practice safe surfing.

One other thing, as long as I'm bending your ear.  I sometimes find blogs, websites and forums repro'ing entire articles. That kills me and the other guys like Kurt and Dave, because we get compensated based on page views, and if someone can read the work somewhere else, there is no reason to read it where we get paid for it. We welcome links to our work, and even a representative sample teaser paragraph, but please...don't post the whole thing.

If you believe the work we do is unique, if you get information you don't readily find (or find at all) anywhere else, if you get value from it, and if you agree that our contributions merit sustenance, you won't just ignore this.  If you come here daily, you'll realize that our ability to continue to bring this information is predicated on being able to get by, and you'll regularly take a moment to help out.

Resurrected Johnson gun bill extends far beyond airport premises

If passed and signed into law, his bill would effectively negate the ability of concealed carry permit holders, or gun owners in states that recognize “Constitutional carry,” to lawfully carry their firearm when dropping off or picking passengers up, rendering them defenseless for the duration of the trip to and from an airport. And importantly, it “would take precedence over any city or state laws that allow weapons in any airports nationwide.” [More
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes “progressives” are busy finding new ways to make the airport experience even more painful for everyone who obeys the rules, while making things easier for those who would prey on them.

Be Aware

Be very aware... [More]

Walk with confidence and purpose, and make a point of looking around. Listen to your gut. If it tells you avoid or wait or retreat, avoid or wait or retreat. And be prepared. I always just shake my head when I see people in public plugged into their electronics and oblivious to their surroundings. 

Oh look! I love a happy ending!

We're the Only Ones Uncharged Enough

Farmer was Sierra’s third shooting in six months, yet the officer remained on the job. The video showed Farmer lying on the ground bleeding as Sierra shot three bullets into his back. An autopsy later determined those three shots in his back were the fatal wounds. [More]
Plus he'd been drinking and the cops delayed the breath test and ... forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Huh, a spate...

What's that, "Think Progress"?  You still demand a monopoly of violence where government enforcers are the "Only Ones" trusted with guns? 

So why all the outrage?

Everybody Who Thinks This Is About Safety Raise Your Right Hand

No, hold your arm at more of an angle, and keep that elbow straight. [More]

And just guess who the "Only Ones" who are exempt enough will be?

Another Hurdle Cleared

...and it's heading to the floor. [More]

Uh-oh, FOP lobbyist Mike Weinman doesn't like it. And I so wanted him to personally approve all of my rights...

I'll have to go back through the petition and see if his is one of the real names on it...

We're the Only Ones Collecting Enough

What, you want us to spit on you? And you'll be happy to make us bleed? [More]

What's this "100 percent voluntary"?  What right did you have to pull people over and detain them in the first damn place?

And if someone doesn't pull over, or indignantly asks you that if he does, will you use that as "probable cause" to escalate the "continuum of force," up to and including murdering him for resisting being taken hostage, and chalking it all up to "established department protocols" because you wanted to "make it home at the end of your shift" -- as if everybody else doesn't, too?

Update: The Captain's Journal says the governor needs to be made accountable for stopping this.

This Should End Well

Just remember to blame the guns and the NRA when they shoot up a "gun free zone."  [More]

I don't suppose "universal background checks" and "mental health evaluations" for foreigners allowed into the country would fly?

What Do You Mean I Have to Pay for It?

You promised me somebody else would have to... [More]

You mean I'm not entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor?  What a gyp!
