BATFE Killing Idaho’s Oldest Gun Shop

***Begin Quote***

Red’s Trading Post in Twin Falls, Idaho, is the state’s oldest gun shop, opened since 1936. In 2004, a routine BATFE audit revealed minor clerical errors. According to Red’s, out of nearly ten THOUSAND firearms transferred between 1996 and 2004, the alleged error rate did not even reach 1%. Even the BATFE acknowledges these are minor paperwork errors — there are no missing firearms and no willful illegal acts.

Paperwork errors?

Let’s apply the same standard to politicians and the gooferment.

Right!

Shannon: Firearms will not be tolerated
By Jorge Milian
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

***Begin Quote***

CORAL GABLES — Randy Shannon has issued a straightforward warning to his University of Miami football players:

Get caught carrying a firearm and your days as a Hurricane are over.

***End Quote***

Interesting. UofM is a “state skool”. Maybe it’s not as much of one as a State University, but only Hillsdale College isn’t beholding to the gooferment.

As such, this brings up so many many issues Like separation of Government and Education? Like the proper role of “non-profit” in a civil society? Like why don’t they pay “taxes”? Like why not treat every corporation equally? Like why we permit the illusion of student athlete? Like why we allow the “skool” to make grazillions off their efforts and treat them like serfs?

But today’s issue is that wonderful tool … Sam Colt’s equalizer … the gun.

I’d say that Shannon’s statement is just flat out wrong.

What he has done is paint a bullseye on his player. Bad people will know they can’t defend themselves. He’s equated the possession of a tool with a bad intention.

If UofM is a government entity, (and it’s hard to argue that it isn’t), then he is an agent of the gooferment, and he has infringed on these player’s rights.

Regardless if they push back or not, that infringes all our rights.

The fact that the liberal media gets all gushy about this “enlightened” policy just proves how shallow they are.

D.C. Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional, Violates Individual Right To Own A Gun
Friday, March 09, 2007

***Begin Quote***

This week, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right and concluded that the District of Columbia’s ban on guns in the home is unconstitutional. According to the majority opinion, “[T]he phrase ‘the right of the people’…leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.”

***End Quote***

In a victory for all the little people of the District, our right was affirmed.

Now let’s see what roadblocks the “state uber alles” throws in everyone’s way.

I find it hard to believe that it was 2-1. Send that judge back to private life. I bet she has an armed security detail everywhere she goes. Taxpayer funded of course. If I was a citizen of the District, then I’ve have demanded her recall. (Yes, it’s a she. Appointed by Regan!)

Of course, if I was a citizen of DC, I’d have moved eons ago.

Let’s face facts. Most of DC’s violence is caused by the “War on Drugs”. End drug prohibition and you’d end the violence. End the various wars on nonsense (drugs, gambling, prostitution, and all “victimless” crimes) and it would be a peace in minutes.

What does an out of work drug dealer do?

End welfare, absurd taxation, and ridiculous regulation as well.

You’d have a city that would rival Singapore in a matter of “minutes”. People would be moving to DC as opposed to fleeing from it.

And, maybe bribing politicians wouldn’t be its only industry.

With a tax, regulatory, and legal environment like that maybe we could make something useful there.

One can only dream!

A death averted
# Passer-by uses gun to halt attack
By Nicklaus Lovelady

***Begin Quote***

As customers watched in horror Sunday afternoon, a man stabbed a woman and attempted to set her on fire in the parking lot of a Jackson store, witnesses said.

The attack was stopped by a passer-by, who held the man at gunpoint until police arrived, witnesses said.

***End Quote***

This writer is going to be drummed out of the liberal media union.

Violating the “gunz is bad” mantra.

Here we have a passer by using his tool to save a woman.

Other passers by didn’t interfere. Going face to face with a knife wielding nut isn’t good for your health.

What would they have done if they had been suitable armed?

It’s my “sprinkle a few sheepdogs amoung the sheep” argument.

GUN CONTROL QUESTION

Anyone care to guess which answer is mine?

Better than M4, but you can’t have one
By Matthew Cox – Staff writer
Posted : Friday Feb 23, 2007 5:27:44 EST

Delta Force worked with a gun maker to come up with a better weapon. The 416 is now considered in many circles to be the best carbine in the world, but the regular Army is sticking with the M4 and M16.

*** BEGIN QUOTE ***

March 4, 2002. An RPG tore into the right engine of an MH-47 Chinook helicopter loaded with a quick-reaction force of Rangers in the Shahikot Mountains of eastern Afghanistan. The Chinook crashed atop Takur Ghar, a 10,000-foot peak infested with al-Qaida fighters.

Enemy fire poured into the fuselage, killing Rangers even before they got off the aircraft. Capt. Nate Self crawled out.

*** AND ***

Once behind cover, Self tried to fire again, but his weapon jammed.

Instinctively, he tried to fix it with “immediate action,” a drill he’d practiced countless times.

“I pulled my charging handle back, and there was a round stuck in the chamber,” he recalled.

Like the rest of his men, Self always carried a cleaning rod zip-tied to the side of his weapon in case it failed to extract a round from the chamber.

“There was only one good way to get it out and that’s to ram it out with a cleaning rod,” he said. “I started to knock the round out by pushing the rod down the barrel, and it broke off. There was nothing I could do with it after that.”

*** AND ***

To Col. Robert Radcliffe, the man responsible for overseeing the Army’s needs for small arms, the M16 family is “pretty damn good.” It’s simply too expensive, he said, to replace it with anything less than a “significant leap in technology.”

Since 2000, that leap centered on development of the XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon — a dual system featuring a 5.56mm carbine on the bottom and a 25mm airburst weapon on top, capable of killing enemy behind cover at 1,000 meters.

Seven years and more than $100 million later, the 18-pound prototype — three times the weight of an M4 — is still too heavy and bulky for the battlefield.

“We think that somewhere around 2010, we should have enough insight into future technologies to take us in a direction we want to go for the next generation of small arms,” said Radcliffe, director of the Infantry Center’s Directorate of Combat Developments at Fort Benning, Ga.

“We will have M4s and M16s for years and years and years and years,” he said.“We are buying a bunch of M4s this year … and we are doing it for all the right reasons, by the way. It’s doing the job we need it to do.”

But many soldiers and military experts say this mind-set is off target now that soldiers are locked in a harsh desert war with no end in sight.

“We are not saying the [M4 and M16 are] bad,” said former Army vice chief of staff retired Gen. Jack Keane. “The issue for me is do our soldiers have the best rifle in their hands.”

*** END QUOTE ***

Well, General, (General, Gen Real, Generally Unreal), I’d say they were. I’d probably call them POS. That’s what they are. And, I’d like to hear what you’d say if you were in a fire fight and had the thing stop shootin on you! Betcha we could NOT print it here or put it on the tv news for the family! Ahh, yes, and we also have another good post office bureaucrat Colon-el (Head up his?) looking for the “perfect” answer. He’ll get it around 2010 when he retires to go work for a politically connected gun maker!?!

No, the issue isn’t to have the “best one”! It’s to have a “working one”!!

Is it any reason that the front line troops ALWAYS refer to the REMFs?

Hopefully, they can survive these idiots.

New game code delays bear hunt
Friday, February 23, 2007
BY FRED J. AUN
For the Star-Ledger

***Begin Quote***

In the proposed new state game code you’ll find this sentence: “There is a closed season for black bear until the commissioner approves a comprehensive policy for the protection and propagation of black bear.”

***End Quote***

And, if and when a bear hurts or kills a person or pet, what will happen to the commissioner?

Can you say “nothing”?

‘Unspeak’ and the Gun Prohibitionists by William R. Tonso

***Begin Quote***

Isn’t it interesting that while the Founders trusted the citizenry more than they trusted government, ongoing attempts to ban military-style “assault weapons” and bullets that can penetrate the body armor of the armed agents of government indicate that nowadays a significant part of the ruling class we’re not supposed to have would have us trust government more than the citizenry?

***End Quote***

Yup, while it may be too soon to start the Third American Revolution, we should at least recapture the high moral ground of language. We would do well to learn from Pre-Hitler Germany. For those who say it can’t happen here — Japanese Internment, Ruby Ridge, Waco. For those who say not now — free speech zones, Military Commissions Act, the new Berlin Wall for the Mexican border, and the erosions of our Bill of Rights. Maybe that revolution might be sooner rather than later?

Intruder Killed By Homeowner Had Long Criminal History
KOTV – 2/5/2007 8:49 PM – Updated 2/8/2007 9:05 AM

***Begin Quote***

There are deadly consequences for a man police say tried to force his way in to an East Tulsa home. Now the question is will the shooting fall under the “Make My Day” law and protect the homeowner? News on 6 reporter Jennifer Loren reports on the latest in the investigation.

***And***

That means Oklahoma’s “Make My Day” law will likely apply in this case. The “Make My Day” law allows people to use deadly force in their homes when they fear for their safety.

***And***

The “Stand Your Ground” law extends victim’s protections to other locations, like a car. It also clarifies the law’s boundaries, so deadly force cannot be used against someone who has the right to be there.

***End Quote***

Now, where are all the bleeding heart liberals suggesting that the victim should have just dialed 911 and left it to the police?

I’m all for thinning the gene pool of the bad guys. And, I’m pro-life.

The Castle Doctrine, Make My Day, Stand Your Ground, and any other legal doctrines aside, I’ll stand by the old gun adage “better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6”.

Hope I’m on your jury should you fall afoul of the “victim disarmament” laws. Not they are not “gun control” laws.

“Gun Control” is EITHER hitting what you aim at OR keeping a careful inventory of the government’s arsenals.

I call laws that infringe on people’s natural right to arm themselves …

… … “unconstitutional”. Thus, null and void.

‘Deactivated’ guns made lethal in four minutes

Last Updated: 12:37am GMT 24/12/2006

Gun crime victims have criticised the Government for failing to close a loophole that allows criminals to legally buy “deactivated” firearms that can be turned back into lethal weapons within minutes.

When will people realize that human beings are dangerous. When motivated, we can do ANYTHING! There’s a reason we’re at the top of the food chain. Adaptability.
