Counter-Protesting the Morrisville, PA Anti-Gun Rally

darrenlobo — Sun, 12 May 2013 23:32:31 +0000

The weather was as changeable as the gun haters' rhetoric. It started cloudy, then the sun came out, then it rained. First, they said they want to ban so-called assault weapons, then they said they don't want to take our guns. Not once did they express a concern for liberty, the most precious value. So it went in Morrisville, PA on May 11, 2013 at the Pre-Mother’s Day March against Gun Violence.

Why fear of 3D printed guns is overblown

Despite worries about the dangers of 3D printed firearms, there's little chance of anyone with a MakerBot gunning people down. Even gun-control advocates think the hype is too much.

Gun plans the State Department demanded be taken down. (seed freely)

This is a link to a torrent of the plans for the World's First 3D Printable Firearm. The state department has demanded that the original creator remove them from the internet. Apparently they have never heard of The Streisand Effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

Eagle Scout Honor Student Charged with Felony

Cole arrived to school Monday morning and reached behind the seat of his truck to get his book bag. He suddenly realized he'd accidentally left his shotgun in his vehicle after bring out fishing and shooting over the weekend and that it needed to be returned home immediately.

Afraid of getting in trouble for skipping class, Cole locked his truck, walked to the front office and called his mother to come and retrieve it, as he couldn't leave school; he would miss class.

By US Government's own definetion, it uses WMDs Every Day...

kelvin — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:05:27 +0000

When most of us think of weapons of mass destruction, we think of nuclear bombs, or nerve gas, or biological agents. Accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged with using a WMD after he and his brother allegedly detonated a bomb made from a pressure cooker. How is this possible? Well, as is often the case, the common sense definition and the legal definition are not the same. The "legal definition" smacks of "Thought Crime" to me. To my mind, if you kill a bunch of people, it doesn't matter what weapon you used. it's the results which count....

Senators vow to oppose UN arms trade treaty (approved Tuesday)

davidfordhere — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 01:38:50 +0000

4/2/2013 "... approved Tuesday by the U.N. General Assembly..." "The Senate already voted for an amendment last month to prevent the U.S. from entering into the treaty. The sentiment among conservative and moderate senators concerned the treaty represents an infringement of Second Amendment rights had not changed in light of Tuesday's U.N. vote." "It's time the Obama administration recognizes it is already a non-starter, and Americans will not stand for internationalists limiting and infringing upon their Constitutional rights."

I'm not personally offended by this, but I can see why gun advocates would be...would love to see it discussed on the show.

You know you're doing something right when the establishment press takes the time to lambaste you. That is what happened to the liberty-minded people standing up for gun rights at Coatesville, PA's gun buy.

Self Defense For Real: The Entire Story of How I Prevented Two Vicious Rottweilers From Chewing My Ass Up, and the Shit-Storm That Followed

This blog story thing is long and detailed and full of self-serving, self-aggrandizing bullshit.

It required much thoughtful editing.

It will be entertaining and educational, while at the same time irrepressibly drab and awful.

It's pretty much all true, except for the shit I threw in to make you giggle a little bit.
You all will love it.

Maybe.

Or not.

MD state senator proposes "Toaster Pastry Gun Freedom Act"

phonon — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 05:12:06 +0000

A Maryland state senator has crafted a bill to curb the zeal of public school officials who are tempted to suspend students as young as kindergarten for having things — or talking about things, or eating things — that represent guns, but aren’t actually anything like real guns. The bill also includes a section mandating counseling for school officials who fail to distinguish between guns and things that resemble guns. School officials who fail to make such a distinction more than once would face discipline themselves.

“Download this gun”: 3D-printed semi-automatic fires 600+ rounds

Cyphase — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:13:21 +0000

Cody Wilson, like many Texan gunsmiths, is fast-talkin’ and fast-shootin’—but unlike his predecessors in the Lone Star State, he’s got 3D printing to help him with his craft. Wilson’s nonprofit organization, Defense Distributed, released a video this week showing a gun firing off over 600 rounds—illustrating what is likely to be the first wave of semi-automatic and automatic weapons produced by the additive manufacturing process. Last year, his group famously demonstrated that it could use a 3D-printed “lower” for an AR-15—but the gun failed after six rounds.

The Arkansas Project — Arkansas State Police Oppose Second Amendment

partyharty — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:54:22 +0000

Most people that carry guns like this are good, honest people, but occasionally, you get that radical person out there that we also must deal with that thinks you’re infringing on their Second Amendment rights. So that can cause some tension between law enforcement and the people who actually wear these things.

Darren Wolfe at the Montgomery County Day of Resistance (video)

darrenlobo — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 23:14:52 +0000

As part of the nationwide series of rallies standing up for gun rights the liberty minded people of Montgomery County, PA came together. I had the honor of addressing them. In this speech I bring up the fact that in February of 2010 students in Venezuela marched unarmed and were violently repressed. Also brought up was the gun buyback in Bensalem, PA. The talk finished with the main point that we can't submit to the government when it comes to money confiscation (taxes) and then think we have a leg to stand on when they want to confiscate our guns.

10th circuit: No 2nd amendment right to concealed carry

phonon — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:12:15 +0000

"We conclude that the carrying of concealed firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment . . ." Justice Carlos Lucero wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lucero cited case law dating to the 1800s that put restrictions on walking around in public with a gun.

"Civilians" Encouraged to Take Down "Active Shooters"

kelvin — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:35:13 +0000

Law enforcement agencies have begun adopting a new policy on so-called “active shooters,” encouraging civilians to take safety into their own hands and take down gunmen who threaten them at work or school. In the SFO Bay Area of all places!
