No Charges in Deadly ATF Arkansas Home Raid [More]
Did anyone seriously think there would be?
Those whose Constitutional mandate is to not infringe on it executed a citizen for exercising his right. Their pretext, that some of his sales allegedly went to “prohibited persons,” is a fraudulent excuse because there is no delegated power authorizing the whole concept.
There’s only one way to address that problem…
Anyone Who Can’t Be Trusted With His Neck…
If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…

Yeah? And how does he propose to make that happen?
Interesting response options…

Tangentially-Related UPDATES (Alright, they happened around Atlanta, so I’m gonna stuff ’em all in the same drawer)
- Gwinnett County Transit Bus hijacking
- Nurse shot, killed just days after she started her career at Grady hospital
These two take me back years, to a job I briefly touched on. They hired me to run their plant in SoCal but wanted to indoctrinate me with an introductory month-long gig as the preseident’s personal assistant, to learn the company (his) ways.
I wasn’t there but a day or two when he got the call that his Atlanta plant manager needed brain tumor surgery, so my trial by fire was to fly down there and take over the factory until such time as he could come back to work or a permanent replacement could be found.
I was going through the financials with the controller down there and asked why we were being hit up for something called “MARTA,” and she explained the Metropolitian Regional Transit Authority sales tax. The (black) foreman overheard us, laughed, and told me it stood for something else.

Yes, sometimes you can bring a knife to a gunfight, but the real question here is why did someone “with a long rap sheet” have access to guns and victims?

The Wrong People
The now 49-year-old father of 12-year-old twin girls focuses on the bad guys who end up using the guns, he said. “Guns are not the problem,” said DeVito, who plans to retire next month. “I’m an advocate of the second amendment. At the end of the day, the problem is guns ending up in the hands of the wrong people.” [More]
And there’s only one solution to that. The one nobody wants to acknowledge.

A Prohibited Person
A Way to Make It Harder
Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]
It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…

Herer’s a first step in the right direction, but as long as they’ve got to be let out before they can be declared safe with certainty, expect plenty of lapses.
