Around 400 weapons that were confiscated by law enforcement sold during auction Tuesday [More]
I suppose it’s better than destroying them, but I’d need to know why a gun was confiscated before I could justify saving a buck.

Notes from the Resistance
These types of anti-government beliefs, according to the New Zealand newspaper Waikato Times, violate the “fit and proper person” clause as defined by New Zealand law, which is a requirement for anyone who applies for or possesses a firearm license. The New Zealanders who allegedly harbored anti-government views were discovered though a national intelligence operation known as “Operation Belfast,” which targeted ordinary citizens and was orchestrated by New Zealand police.

Hey, they’re “just following orders.”
The fact that you want a gun to protect your sovereignty is all the proof we bneed to keep you from having one.
Besides, what sovereignty?

Off-duty Detroit police officer who was ‘asking for suicide by cop’ shoots 2 fellow officers [More]
Sad, but I’m more concerned that they turn such as these loose among the general public, and find it hard to believe no one knew something was off.
The buyback was held at the Church of Love Faith Center on Exchange Street in Rochester, with over a hundred people waiting in line to surrender their firearms. It was organized as a way for community members to safely discard of their guns, with no questions asked. [More]
Like “Is it yours?”
The key word is “surrender.”
Can you imagine being “Leadership Award” winner Lieutenant Michael Ciulla and acting like this is anything more than an “ineffective” propaganda event?

Give Antifa-type DEI hires a badge and a gun … what could go wrong?

A forklift stolen from a Wendy’s construction site was used to steal the ATM from a Fifth Third Bank, the North Canton Police Department confirmed. NCPD said they got a call from Fifth Third Bank Security on the theft at 4:03 a.m. on Oct. 15. [More]
They had to call? It didn’t set off an alarm?
Because Google Maps shows a straight shot from the station to the bank that would have taken two minutes that time of night.
Then again, does anyone really want the Canton Police coming by?
What happened to Bryan Malinowski is not an isolated incident. It is part of a growing pattern of KGB-style behavior by U.S. federal law enforcement agencies. Let me mention briefly just a few other cases. [More]
It’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.
It does kind of answer the question “What do you need a weapon of war for?”

Really? Not a single negative comment?
He can’t erase them from Twitter.

Shall we see if this stays up?

Appeals Court rules state must return $225K seized from California man during Brandon traffic stop [More]
Will he be compensated for the time and money he has spent fighting this?
And what will it personally cost the government thieves?
Here’s the way the JBTs describe it:
Asset forfeiture is a powerful tool used by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, against criminals and criminal organizations to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains through seizure of these assets.
“Criminals.” That sure implies they’ve been tried, found guilty, and sentenced, doesn’t it?
Someone with a better historical understanding help me out here: I found, on the Hawaii Criminal Justice Division’s page of all places, the claim that “The first statute authorizing civil forfeiture was enacted by Congress in 1789 as a sanction for the use of ships in customs violations. (Act of July 31, 1789, Sections 12, 36; 1 Stat. 39, 47.)”
If anybody has time to dig into this right now, does it say anything about them being tried and convicted first? I’m wondering if a Bruen style “text, history,. and tradition at the time of ratification” argument could be made.

In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy. [More]
Well, if he didn’t want to be arrested he shouldn’t have broken the cops hand with his mouth.
