After ‘Terror Watchlist’ Disarmament, ‘Haters’ will be Next in Line

We’re not even talking felonies, we’re talking misdemeanors. Actually, we’re not even talking misdemeanors. Casey’s latest act of un-American treachery would: “[P]rohibit the sale of firearms to anyone reasonably suspected to be guilty of a misdemeanor hate crime.” [More]
Lose a fundamental right based on suspicion. Yeah, that's American alright...

Why He was Arrested is Not Clear at this Point

Let's see, one of their conflicted own dispatches as he pleases with a hundred+ of them, killing half... how is this going to work again?

Or are these dreamers under the impression that all they have to do is pass a law and we'll all surrender and obey -- instead of telling them to shove it up their...?

Ain't gonna happen anyway.  That community, 2% despite "popular culture" trying to make it seem a lot bigger -- is divided, and the smarter ones understand that civil liberties are all connected.

Can Someone Explain How This Works?

All it took to attain one was a driver’s license (the one we used was from out of state) and a few minutes to wait for the background check to clear. We signed state-issued proof of sale documents that asked whether we were felons or drug addicts, and where we lived. [More]
First of all,what's with the royal "we"? That sounds like a "straw purchase." Who bought the gun and how does someone with an out-of-state DL do that and then have Andy just walk out with it?

And then there's this:
We attempted to return the AR-15 to the shop where we purchased it. Despite having a return policy, they refused. So we opted to turn the gun over to Orlando police, who said they would have it destroyed.
So they filled out sec. 11.a. on the 4473 knowing they had no intention of buying the gun for themselves?

I understand they can't have pictures of their prophet, either.

Citizens Challenge New Jersey Carry Permit Denials

A conclusion of interest to all Second Amendment advocates: If two citizens with stellar records of being law-abiding and responsible --and with clear justifiable need -- cannot overcome the infringements New Jersey imposes,  the right to keep and bear arms is being effectively denied to “the whole people.” With no repercussions. [More]
New Jersey views the right to keep and bear arms as a curiosity that does not apply within its borders. And they're being allowed to get away with it.

Here's the part some of us would like clarification on (I had to take a screenshot, because the damn .gov website freezes up my old pull-start desktop machine no matter which browser I use):

"Melted and repurposed"?

So even though gun owners have rewarded Republicans with control of both houses of Congress, not only can none of you guys do anything about this, you're not even willing to try?  

Can we take that as you agree with it?

Family of AR-15 Inventor Eugene Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civilians [More]
Note they provide no direct quotes or documentation. It's all what they say he would have thought. To suggest that he did not know his semi-auto design would be available to the civilian market and not subject to NFA '34is absurd. And he died a millionaire.

I see his hand-wringing heirs aren't rejecting any of their inheritances...

I'm not done with this. If I find anything worth adding, I will.

I Want My Daughters to be Truly Empowered.

Sorry. Opposite Day "progressive feminists" like Shannon and Hillary would rather see them raped and strangled than armed. [More]

And they come up with all kinds of horror stories -- bolstered by the incompetent partnering and other life choices of their followers -- to make their case.

Some might wonder if it was meant to.

Are You On 'The List'?

Don't worry, you will be. [More]

Yeah, That About Says It

Any "adjustment or removal" of the second amendment should be viewed as an act of treason and the people of this great nation are constitutionally empowered to retain the constitution while disposing of a government gone wrong. [More]
The question is, how many will?

Three percent or so...?

How Could One Man Do All This?

I am curious to know the estimated amount of ammo Mateen probably carried into The Pulse, how much it weighed and how he could manage the crowd all by his lonesome. We are debating this and I have no idea other than a guess. Please help. Maybe you can blog about how a lone wolf could kill so many and hold his position over three hours. 
I'm afraid all I can do is guess as well  -- and I expect crime scene information is going to be closely controlled.  In terms of how much ammo, in that closed space it would seem the number of magazines needed ought not be too cumbersome or weighty.  In terms of how he could hold his position, I'd attribute much of the crowd's reaction to "trauma and the freeze response." That and herdthink.

There have also been scattered reports about an accomplice, and also about some of the victims being shot by police.

What really needs to be looked at is why it took over three hours for the "Only Ones" to do something about saving victims who were disarmed by "law." I thought "we" learned that lesson after Columbine.

That's my gut feel with no other real intel.  Anybody else have insights?
