PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 1 Hour Ago Wisconsin Sheriff Makes Pro-Gun PSA, All Hell Breaks Loose Jan 26, 2013 Infidel Excerpted from The Blaze: The spot has quickly earned criticism, including from the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs’ Association and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs’ Association president Roy Felber told the Associated Press it sounds like a call to vigilantism, while Barrett’s spokeswoman said it sounded like Clarke was “auditioning for the next Dirty Harry movie.” Excerpted from The Millwaukee Journal-Sentinel: Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. set off alarm bells Friday with a radio spot some view as a call for citizens to arm themselves. In the radio ad, Clarke tells residents personal safety isn’t a spectator sport anymore, and that “I need you in the game.” “With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option,” Clarke intones. “You could beg for mercy from a violent crimin...

HOTAIR.COM 1 Hour Ago White House/OFA gun-control project off to inauspicious start by Ed Morrissey posted at 7:01 pm on January 26, 2013 by Ed Morrissey This week, the Entity Formerly Known As The Obama Campaign transformed itself into a lobbying/grassroots activist group, intending on leveraging its microtargeting and marketing success into generating a groundswell of support for Obama’s political agenda. Their first project — frighten legislators into backing Obama’s gun-control proposals by touching off a deluge of phone calls and communications to Capitol Hill offices. So far, though, the genius of the campaign seems to be somewhat lacking, according to Buzzfeed’s John Stanton (via Instapundit): Call in campaigns can be a powerful tool in lobbying Congress: when done right, lawmakers’ offices are inundated with thousands of constituents demanding to speak with the senator or congresswoman about a particular issue. Well-orchestrated campaigns can even result in the congr...

WEASELZIPPERS.US 46 Minutes Ago Gun Owners In New York Planning To Defy New Registration Requirement: “Come and Take it!” Via The New American: After Democrats in New York rammed a sweeping assault on the right to keep and bear arms through the legislature that failed to exempt police officers from the draconian restrictions, gun owners and even some lawmakers are planning what has been dubbed potentially the largest act of civil disobedience in state history. According to news reports, gun rights activists are urging everyone to defy far-left Governor Andrew Cuomo’s new registration mandate while daring authorities to “come and take it.” Analysts say the legislation, passed in a frenzy last week in the wake of the Newtown shooting, represents the most brazen infringement on the right to keep and bear arms anywhere in the nation. Among other points, the so-called SAFE Act seeks to limit magazines to just seven bullets, require virtually all of the estimated one million semi-au...

EXAMINER.COM 2 Hours Ago Judge rejects prosecution motion to bar public from Reese hearing by David Codrea A court order filed yesterday and obtained by Gun Rights Examiner in the case of U.S. vs. Reese has denied a motion by the prosecution to seal a hearing from the public. Defendants Rick and Terri Reese and son Ryin, New Mexico gun dealers jailed for allegedly knowingly selling guns to cartel members, and who have since had conspiracy and money laundering charges against them dismissed, have filed a motion for a new trial after being convicted of, as Jeff Knox of the Firearms Coalition described it, “the comparatively minor charge of lying on gun sales forms -- even though the lies they were convicted of were perpetrated by federal agents and the Reese's crimes were that they ‘should have known’ that the agents were lying.” “To justify the closure of a courtroom over the objections of a defendant, ‘the party seeking to close [a public] hearing must advance an overriding ...

IJREVIEW.COM 7 Hours Ago Busted: Gun Control Legislator Dianne Feinstein Discusses Why She Concealed Carried Firearms by Kyle Becker Senator Dianne Feinstein, author of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and the senator currently at the forefront of the Democrat Party’s Congressional push for tighter gun control, talks about why she once had a concealed carry permit for a gun in the aftermath of what she referred to as a terrorist attack. The video is taken from the floor of Congress. “Less than 20 years ago, I was the target of a terrorist group. It was the New World Liberation Front. They blew up power stations and put a bomb at my home when my husband was dying of cancer and the bomb was set to detonate around 2 ‘o clock in the morning, but it was a construction explosive that doesn’t detonate when it drops below freezing. It doesn’t usually freeze in San Francisco, but on this night it dropped below freezing and the bomb didn’t detonate. “I was very lucky, but I thought of what ...

WEASELZIPPERS.US 11 Hours Ago DHS Wants AR-15s For Their Quality As “Personal Defense Weapons”, But You Shouldn’t Have Them As Senator Greg Ball (R-NY) points out, when it is the government in question, then AR-15s are just fine for personal defense, including with matching 30 round clips. Just not for YOUR personal defense. Unreal. If they’re painted pink, are they more acceptable looking? The Department of Homeland Security is the latest to find Governor Cuomo’s anti-Second Amendment agenda is at odds with reality. A report by Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com cites a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and member components such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeking over 7,000 AR-15’s and matching 30 round clips.

MISPLACEDNEWS.COM 2 Hours Ago Gun Control: California DOJ Confiscating Guns The California Department of Justice is running a program to confiscate guns from homes that local law enforcement refused to implement. Mark LeForestier, California Supervising Deputy Attorney General & Legislative Affairs Director, testified to a Congressional Task force determined to implement gun controls about the Armed Prohibited Persons program. It is intended to disarm people who are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms under both federal and California law. It is really a preventative law enforcement program that we believe is critical to enhance and move forward and should be used as a model nationally. This program works into the framework we have been discussing in which “public health” is being used to subvert the civil rights of Americans as protected by the second amendment. Our report “ObamaCare Insurance Will Not Cover Gun Owners” outlines a theoretical strategy in which the...
