All commissions earned are donated directly to the Second Amendment Foundation
There's little to no trust for most elected Republicans. And for good reason.Because of things like this:
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has decided her one and only priority is expanding her[] state's Medicaid program under ObamaCare and she'll veto all other legislation until lawmakers cave and pass it.Republicans ... Whigs ... can't happen soon enough.
The investigation will attempt to determine why the LAPD's SWAT team, which has around 60 members, purchased over 300 specialized handguns from Kimber Manufacturing.Because those officers could personally benefit from the sale of those firearms, which means they were 'engaged in the business'. Without FFL's, I'm sure.
At today's annual meeting of Time Warner shareholders held at the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, National Center for Public Policy Research Free Enterprise Director Justin Danhof, Esq. confronted Time Warner CEO Jeffery Bewkes over his company's bias and partisan positions regarding the Second Amendment.Hmmm ... probably not:
"Bewkes said he would strive to do better and that CNN's goal was to present the news in a non-partisan way."
It's too bad that even when confronted with evidence that the media are failing, they simply double down.
Interestingly, one of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Co. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain "East Indian Rosewood," which is the exact same wood in at least 10 of Gibson's guitars. So why were they not also raided and their inventory of foreign wood seized?I know there are a lot of folks who believe that Gibson was guilty of some infraction of the Lacey Act, but it's moot now; faced with the full weight of the government against them, Gibson punted.
Grossly underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson's chief executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to Republican politicians. Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
By contrast, Chris Martin IV, the Martin & Co. CEO, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the Democratic National Committee over the past couple of election cycles.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg cursed out the chief executive officer of a taxi company who won a court case against the city and pledged a post-mayoral revenge against the entire industry, the CEO and one witness said.Not at all ...
“[I will] destroy your [expletive] industry,”
"Can you see in your mind's eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn't intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?"That was the monumentally stupid question Candy Crowley asked of Sen Rand Paul on Sunday. Sen Paul is much more polite than I could have been.
In the 2012 election cycle, the IRS union gave its money this way:Giving money in a more than 20:1 ratio to one party (any party) is the very definition of a government agency that has become politicized.
For the U.S. Senate:
Total to Democrats: $156,750
Total to Republicans: $1,000
For the U.S. House:
Total to Democrats: $391,062
Total to Republicans: $23,000
As the hearing progressed, gun-rights supporters grew frustrated at the legislators move to amp measures that would only pertain to law-abiding gun owners and not the criminals they aimed to stop.Part of the reason that we gunnies have resisted calls for rebellion is the American idea that we can petition the government. So what happens when the government won't let us?
In a particularly heated exchanged, 2nd Amendment advocate James Kaleda, 36, was asked to keep his comments relative to bills being heard. “I am on the bill. And I will be heard,” Kaleda said. But Committee Chairman Donald Norcross (D-Camden) called Kaleda out of order.
“This hearing’s out of order,” Kaleda replied.
Within moments, a visibly disgruntled Kaleda was forcibly escorted out of the committee headquarters by law enforcement.
But as court records and testimony have shown, the power tool companies have rejected the safety advance for another reason: They are worried that if a new way to prevent severe injuries became widespread, they would face a wave of liability suits for accidents involving conventional saws.This story is about the SawStop brand of table saws; you know, the ones that won't cut into a hot dog. But it goes to the way this country now thinks about anything that even a little bit dangerous.
I like nothing better than to use the gun prohibitionist's own resources to send a pro-gun message to Congress. The Giffords-Kelly organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, is now providing one such opportunity.John took the pre-loaded and pre-addressed email to congressmen and changed the message to one more amenable to the gunnie position.
So it does appear that if those bodies are found (or even if they're not-- witness testimony can establish the deaths) these guys may get the needle.The needle is much too good for these fuckers. I suspect only the Chinese could keep them alive during torture for 10 years. SI think we should let them try, anyway.
Even if you’re not explicitly into the God-thing, you must recognize the importance of humility in a civil society, i.e., “I want control only over my own affairs; I have no business trying to arrange yours, because I can’t possibly be that wise.” Or further, one must recognize that the human soul is sovereign and ultimately answerable to Nature’s God. At Cornell, I couldn’t help noticing that many of those who “killed God” did so to take His place as the Ultimate Moral Authority. “Don’t follow those Jesus-freaks,” they’d advise. “Follow me instead. It’s way hipper.”Dicentra comments on Jeff's post on Waking the Dragon by Barry Snell. I agree with all of his points and would even add a couple.
Having just won their revolution, in which privately owned firearms played such a critical role, and mindful of the potential for their new government to potentially become tyrannical, the purpose of the Second Amendment was to make sure that the people of the United States would have the means to rise in revolt once again, should it become necessary.Yup ... nothing to do with controlling crime, that's just how they try to sell it to the public. Not that controlling crime is bad, it's just that gun control doesn't do anything to control crime.
That's what it's really about. It's not about hunting weapons; it's not about the "National Guard" (which isn't a militia). It's about everyday law-abiding citizens having the ability to resist a tyrannical government. And with that deterrent in place, we've managed 230 years without our government descending into tyranny (though it's come close).
And that's why Progressives hate it.
"The sport is not without risk, and unfortunately we had a fatality," said ride participant Joe Baird of Kentucky.And Joe isn't the only one:
"Some of the times you think that maybe I shouldn't participate right now, maybe we should just throw in the towel, because it was really unsafe," said Raymond Jennings of Dallas.Maybe I shouldn't participate ...
There will be war, whether anyone truly desires it or not. There has always been war and there always will be war, the arrogant pretenses of the totalitarians and their self-serving promises of peace on Earth notwithstanding. As Vegetius wrote: Si vis pacem, para bellum. The Union cannot be saved because it no longer exists in the hearts of men.Mike Vanderboegh talks about this possibility (nay, eventuality) constantly, and I sadly, agree with him. Vox has been talking about it more and more.
Really hard to get too excited over this since the plastic gun hasn't been shown to last very long. - Ace's ONTThis is what those on the Right, but who are not gunnies always say.
