Lawrence DeStefano - The War on Guns

Follow the Money

Hey guy just a update on the case; there is no update… they have placed a full blown gag order on the case with closed chambers. So Lawrence or his lawyer is currently not allowed to find out what is developing within the case or talk about anything privileged when disclosed. [More]

This is why I could not say more.

You’ll also see under UPDATES what they’re using funds for:

$60 out of the campaign funds has been used to renew Lawrence’s Domains as requested… 260$ has been sent to Lawrence’s commissary, for him to purchase some well needed items to survive… body wash, toothpaste, shower slippers, jacket, food items

I’m glad to see guns raised have more than doubled since my piece posted yesterday, but there is so much farther to go. Out of the tens of thousands made aware, it’s currently at $1,270, and they’re trying to raise almost 500 times that. They’ll never get close if gun owners don’t share the information with their friends.

I’m talkin’ to you.

This ain’t my first rodeo.

DeStefano Fundraiser Addresses Donation Integrity Concerns

DeStefano has refused to turn over customer lists, and thus has been singled out for total destruction as an example to any who might defy the orders of the violence monopolists. [More]

He could minimize his ordeal tremendously if he would just give up customer names. But he won’t. So Letitia James is going to make an example of him.

The Best Defense?

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is defending gun rights [More]

Did he do anything at all to try to stop Letitia James from extraditing Lawrence DeStefano?

I Guess My Money’s Not Good Enough…

I’ll be curious to see if Go Fund Me allows this to remain— if not, there’s no risk to donors and I’m sure other ways will be tried. [More]

Looks like my curiosity’s been satisfied:

At least I got the “No Risk” part right:

Per Henry’s comment, I’ve suggested GiveSendGo to DeStefano’s friends.

UPDATE via X Message:

I guess you can still give to ICE Breakers…

UPDATE

It’s been set up again on GiveSendGo.

Guns & Gadgets has more.

Our Turn

UPDATE: THIS FUNDRAISER HAS BEEN TERMINATED.

Stand With Lawrence DeStefano in His Fight for Justice [More]

Here are the details.

I never ask readers to do anything I’m not willing to do, and I’m willing to spread the word and to pitch in. It doesn’t have to be a lot. Every little bit helps.

Are you?

I’ll be curious to see if Go Fund Me allows this to remain— if not, there’s no risk to donors and I’m sure other ways will be tried.

I hope not too many decide it’s easier to ignore this and move on.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
