... "But there is apparently no empathy for Shaneen Allen, a South Philadelphia black woman who was stopped in New Jersey for a minor traffic violation. Allen, who was trying to do the right thing, informed the officer that she had a Pennsylvania Carry Permit, and was in possession of a handgun. She had passed a background check, and done everything right, except, she was unaware of the despotic nature of the Garden State's gun laws." ... |

"In April, the Senate rejected the Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal. In the wake of its defeat many asked why gun owners and their organizations resisted so limited a measure. Granted, it would have had little but symbolic benefit. Its core was to require background checks at gun shows (which Bureau of Justice Statistics concluded involved a whole 0.8 percent of crime guns) and on Internet gun sales (a miniscule proportion, most of which probably go through licensed dealers anyway). But why not accept something so modest, in light of the draconian ideas then being floated as alternatives?" ... |

"In a highly controversial move, the leadership of the Connecticut Bar Association lobbied to pass Governor Dannel Malloy’s restrictive 'toughest-in-the-nation' gun control laws. The move has sparked unprecedented opposition within the body. From the courant.com: 'Why is our bar association taking a position on a matter that has nothing to do with the practice of law?' Hartford lawyer and former Democratic state Chairman John Droney asked in an email typical of hundreds of others inspired by a debate that has continued now for two months.' . . ." ... |

"The following message posted on warfighterfoundation.wordpress.com has gone viral:"
"'As I sit here constantly hearing and watching you execute innocent men, women and children in the Middle East I chuckle. Why do I chuckle you may ask? Well let me explain something to you cowardice fools who think you are so tough behind all your propaganda videos. You are scaring a population that doesn’t know how to fight, you’re bullying the weak . . .'"
"You say Islam is the religion of peace, but since when does terrorizing the innocent and beheading men, women and children constitute peace? WTF? But keep in mind, what did Saddam’s troops do when we came rolling into town? They surrendered, twice… " ... |

"More Americans can carry guns in more places than ever before. In the majority of states, law-abiding gun owners can walk into bars, restaurants and churches with their guns without fear of legal ramifications, a News 21 review of all 50 states found."
"'It's a situation just like getting up in the morning and putting your shoes on or your boots on. For me it's putting (my gun) onto my side,' said Lee Bird, owner of Twin Birds Saddlery in Wickenburg, Arizona, 60 miles northwest of Phoenix. Bird openly carries a .38 Smith & Wesson Special revolver on his hip everyday." ... |

"Aaron Zelman, JPFO's late, great founder, was a man of uncompromising principles. He wouldn't have yielded a millimeter on some things. If you'd have held him upside down and threatened to drop him over the rim of the Grand Canyon unless he repudiated pure, hardcore gun rights, he'd have probably said, 'Go ahead. Do it.'"
"And then, if you did, he'd have found a way to land safely on his feet. He was that kind of guy."
"On the other hand, Aaron was a very reasonable human being. If you could make a good argument for something, he could change his mind faster than a Lamborghini goes from zero to 60." ... |

"'A housewife and a cat will both chase mice out of the kitchen. But the cat wants more mice to come back.'"
"– Aaron Zelman"
"Somebody reminded me this week of that statement from Aaron, the late, great founder of [JPFO]. That was how Aaron contrasted himself and JPFO with Alan Gottlieb and Gottlieb’s SAF/CCRKBA."
"Aaron wanted to educate people so that victim disarmament would go away. He would have been thrilled to be able to close JPFO’s doors and say, 'We’ve done it.'"
"On the other hand, he despised Alan Gottlieb and saw him as an opportunist who used scary mailings to turn SAF/CCRKBA into a fundraising factory. He saw Gottlieb as a person who needed and wanted 'gun control' because that’s what kept the money and the publicity flowing." ... |

... "I don't presume to be smart enough or influential enough to play peacemaker in this. What I'm interested in doing is helping, and seeing that positive efforts toward liberty are promoted and supported. So all I can do is that which I've said from the start, from before the JPFO news became public knowledge: I will continue my efforts for the organization until such time as someone tells me they don't want me to, or until I come to see that my faith has been misplaced." ... |

"Aside from the gun nut thing, and much like our boy Leghorn, my other interests outside of work include aviation. According to my parents, my first full sentence was, 'I see it!' while pointing to the sky at a passing plane. Like the gun thing, it is an open secret at work that I’ve got a soft spot for airplanes. Knowing this, one of my coworkers recommended that I read The Dog Stars because, “Its about a pilot and a gun nut living at an airport in a post apocalyptic world near Denver. Right up your alley.” He wasn’t wrong about my enjoyment of The Dog Stars, but not for the reasons he assumed . . ." ... |

"Jackson says that’s when he fired his first shot." ... |

"The Doe Run Lead plant is right here in Missouri and Yes, it is closing due to over regulated EPA rulings. Save your lead!!"
"All you can do is shake your head....... All lead for bullets will have to come from overseas! ..."
"There are numerous alarming reasons why the US government and the military have been buying up all the ammo. Here's one of them. Obama and the EPA just shut down the last lead smelting plant in the US . They raised the EPA regulations by 10 fold and it would have cost the plant $100 million to comply. You can own all the guns you want, but if you can't get ammo, you are out of luck. ..." ... |

"We need to embrace this corruption. This new anti-gun bill not only confiscates weapons and ammunition from innocent firearms owners, it can bar them from entering sensitive government offices. There it is! Now we have the legislation we need. We finally have legislation that keeps the crazies out of public office!" ... |

"The Seattle Times this morning is reporting new information on a double slaying in Kent this week that raises new questions about a gun control initiative, and why efforts to restrict firearms rights across the country are turning more people against the gun prohibition lobby."
"The new information comes, ironically, on the heels of yesterday’s e-mail appeal from anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s 'Everytown for Gun Safety'” the $50 million so-called 'grasstoots' group pushing the ex-New York mayor’s restrictive gun control agenda nationwide. This particular e-mail, signed by Meera Bhardwaj, Everytown’s Washington State organizing director, pushes Initiative 594 with an incredibly vulnerable argument." ... |

"State Police say the gun used in the death of Victor White III is NOT a weapon carried by the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Officer."
"'My son didn't shoot himself. I never believed it. I won't believe it,' said Victor White, Sr., the father of 22-year-old Victor White, III, who back in March, died from a gunshot wound."
"It happened while handcuffed in the backseat of an Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office patrol car ... at the jail, White refused to exit the vehicle. As the arresting deputy requested assistance, they say white produced a handgun he had been hiding in his pants, and shot himself in the back."
"But the autopsy ... reports the opposite, listing the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest. ..." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
