Ruby Ridge - The War on Guns

Justice Delayed?

BREAKING:

The @IdahoGOP is set to vote on a resolution calling for a full posthumous pardon of Randy Weaver AND the prosecution of FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi for murder!

Two years ago, the IDGOP unanimously voted in favor of a resolution calling for the abolition of the FBI. pic.twitter.com/U9wcTEVItH

Is it too late to investigate if a vulnerable prosecutor was coerced into dropping the case? Because his “justification” held no water.

This Day in History

The Aug. 21. shootout started when federal officers were trying to arrest Weaver on a weapons charge and charge that he failed to appear in court. [More]

Be It Resolved

At Ruby Ridge federal agents gunned down Vicki Weaver while she held a baby in arms. They also killed Sammy Weaver, and his dog.

No one was ever held accountable. That’s why I’m bringing a Resolution to charge Lon Horiuchi with murder and pardon Randy Weaver for the ‘Failure to… pic.twitter.com/uKae8joqKK

While you’re at it, open up a real investigation against the former Boundary County prosecutor.

Why did his lame excuses for dropping charges ring so hollow?

Was he compromised by forgery charges?

This Day in History

On this day in 1992, Randy Weaver and his family were attacked by Federal law enforcement at their home on Ruby Ridge in Boundary County, Idaho. What began on that day would quickly become known as one of the most egregious examples of Federal police tyranny in the nation's… pic.twitter.com/2Iz6WqBaNn

This is what your government is willing to do to you if you exercise your rights. And your Democrat countrymen will laugh on social media, say insurrectionists deserve it, and vote for more “Obey or else” infringements.

Play Imperial Stormtrooper Games, Win Imperial Stormtrooper Prizes

OTD 31 years ago, Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan, Jr. was shot and killed near Naples, Idaho, while conducting surveillance of a rural cabin owned by a man wanted on a federal warrant. @USMarshalsHQ @USMC @marshalsmuseum @FLEOAORG @NLEOMF #HonorTheFallen [More]

I wouldn’t exactly call the public response to this “reverent.”

Funny– I don’t see one “progressive” grabtard chastising his critics and defending his actions.

That’s because, at heart, they’re cowards dependent on mob approval.

Let That be a Lesson to You

Lessons from Ruby Ridge [More]

We’re being ruled by homicidal maniacs whose enforcers will kill us if we don’t obey.

And then “absolve” their own.

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.
