NRA warns firearms dealers of anti-gun survey

“[P]articipating in the survey in any way would give Dr. Wintemute credibility in the eyes of the anti-gun organizations that fund his efforts, which would only increase his chance of obtaining more money for more anti-gun research,” they add. [More]

Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others.  We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message.  Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a  part of it.

Lineup subject to change without notice.

A Belated Response

Gun rights advocates did not immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment. [More]

I always have fun talking with this guy.

Deepest Sympathy

A Manitoba judge who expressed sympathy for a Winnipeg man who bought a handgun to protect himself says the law gives him no choice but to jail him, a move gun advocates say highlights the need for renewed discussion about Canadians’ right to self-defence. [More]
I haven't been this touched since the Walrus wept for the Oysters.

Note all the pathetic government worshipers in comments who endorse the idea of someone else defining their freedom for them.  And what can I say about Adam Bergen?  And still keep it clean?

If you're happy and you know it, clank your chains.

Cummings, Schumer to hold ‘Gunwalker’ show trial against gun rights

And for those who say the suspicion that Gunwalker being exploited to justify more power for ATF and impose more “gun control” on you and me is a baseless right wing conspiracy theory, just what the hell do you think every effort by the regressive left to do just that, right in front of our eyes—from the gungrabber groups to the oath-breaking political whores to the “Authorized Journalist” Fourth Estate/Fifth Column—has been about? Just what the hell do you think tomorrow is going to be about? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary provides more proof of intent--not that it will stop those inclined to press on with lies in the face of it.

Calling out excuse-mongering Jon Stewart and Media Matters on Gunwalker intent

Sorry, fellas—I realize I can’t match you for urbane snark or snotty punk judgmentalism, but that really seems to be the only hand you’re holding. So OK, smart guys, if finding U.S. civilian market weapons at Mexican crime scenes was NOT part of the objective—and then, once the joviality wore off, exploiting that information, then you tell us: How do you go from Phase 1, letting thousands of guns destined for Mexican cartels escape into the wild in the hands of straw purchasers, to Phase 3, bringing down “the big fish”?

How exactly does that work, smart guys? Explain it to us, oh wiser, more progressive ones.

What the HELL happens in Phase 2? [More]

Not that--hell, we expected that. Still to be determined: How many deaths have happened/will still happen on THIS side of the border, as if we'll ever know.

New Eminem video continues entertainment industry’s ugly portrayal of guns

No, what strikes me as curious about this piece—aside from the profound hypocrisy of the music industry when it comes to guns—is the gun itself used in the video: Is it real or is it a prop? [More]

There is a man on York Island living on or near the North River, of the name of George Higday who I am told hath given signal proofs of his attachment to us, & at the same time stands well with the enemy. -- If upon inquiry this is found to be the case (and much caution should be used in investigating the matter, as well as on his own account as on that of Higday) he will be a fit instrument to convey intelligence to me while I am on the west side of the North River, as he is enterprising and connected with people in Bergen County who will assist in forming a chain to me, in any manner they shall agree on.

Top Chi-Town cop invokes Orwellian definition of racism to disarm citizenry

“I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of African-American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy,” McCarthy continued, “Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms into our urban centers, across this country, that are killing black and brown children.” [More]

Breaking: ATF heeds Issa's 'no retaliation' warning by...retaliating

This appears to be in direct contradiction of assurances Darrell Issa received from ATF which he reminded Deputy Director William Hoover of in his June 21 letter. This, along with the stonewalling Issa's Committee has received demonstrates that the Administration's Justice Department is determined to continue to defy, resist and obstruct the Congress in performing its lawful oversight responsibilities. [More]
Of course you realize this means war.

John Adams added some clarification in his Diary on June 23, 1779 when he revealed that the Virginia Declaration of Rights "made by Mr. Mason" had been published in Philadelphia before he, Franklin and Jefferson prepared the Declaration of Independence, and that Pennsylvania copied it "almost verbatim."

Issa to ATF's Hoover: There will be no retaliation against whistleblowers

"The Committee relies on whistleblowers to conduct unvarnished and thorough oversight," Issa explained. "During a meeting on May 5, 2011, you assured my staff that ATF leadership would see to it that witnesses would not suffer for choosing to have communications with our staff. "[More]
This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report looks at a letter no one should have to send.  That Issa felt compelled to should tell us all we need to know.

Resistance Radio for June 22

My special guest today will be Dr. John Lott, economist, scholar and author of “More Guns, Less Crime.” Also find out how to “friend” the Taliban, find out why Democrats are not at all pleased with Obama, and watch some piranhas devour each other while Mike Vanderboegh pushes a lapdog into the feeding frenzy.

Join me this morning at 7:00 AM Pacific/10:00 AM Eastern and all points around and in between on “The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance” NBC1260 Scottsdale, or from your computer at NBC1260.com, where you can also click on the WoG graphic to download previous shows (updated each day at 6:00 PM Pacific).

Also note: I’ve posted the Saturday “encore” schedule here.

UPDATE: Those of you who noticed Mike V. did not appear as announced, no worries--he was stuck in a traffic jam in a lousy cell reception area.  I had to ad-lib and hope my substitute baton-twirling act worked. It was either that or the dancing poodles.

‘Paper of record’ should recognize hypocrisy better than most

It’s not liberal bias? And the mighty “Authorized Journalists” at The New York Times can find nothing new to report, but a couple of mere “bloggers” can come up with fresh finds on an almost-daily basis? But they somehow have the resources to jump on the gun control bandwagon—even though it’s not a scoop and every regressive rag and network out there is parroting the talking points from the Brady Campaign and the new Feinstein/Schumer/Whitehouse report?

Another damn lie. This is my shocked face. Talk about hypocrisy locked and loaded. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes there are lies, damned lies, and The New York Times.

Help correct the [paper of] record by sharing the link?

This Day in History: June 22

The act of the General Assembly passed on June 22, 1779, which established the Virginia Land Office, also provided for the awarding of bounty lands for specified Revolutionary War military service. The purpose of the bounty land system was to encourage longer military service. In order to qualify for bounty land, a soldier or sailor had to serve at least three (3) years continuously in the State or Continental Line or State Navy. Militia service did not count. The process of obtaining bounty lands was lengthy, and, in many cases, land speculators acquired the right to the land from the veteran or his heirs. [More]

I haven't heard an excuse this lame since I used "Billy's Mom let's him do it!" on my Mom.  Who thinks that worked?

No, everyone doesn't do it. Just the "Only Ones."

Although to be fair, I'm sure they would arrange for anyone they caught doing it to get free meals in lockup.
