An Update on Operation Fast and Furious

From Katie Pavlich.

Getting cranked up to cause more trouble. "Quick Outline of the Three Percenter Program of Armed Civil Disobedience to Date."

Well, folks, we're getting cranked up to cause more trouble in the land of the anti-constitutional heathens (you know, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Colorado, etc.).

Here is a "Quick Outline of the Three Percenter Program of Armed Civil Disobedience to Date (15 November 2013)" that I handed to a couple of reporters last Friday.

1. Participation in marches and rallies in opposition to local and state firearm prohibition measures. Examples: Ruidoso, NM; Temple, TX and San Antonio, TX. See video link of action in September 2011 at Ruidoso city council meeting. (“Ruidoso NM: Mayor bans firearms on public property. Citizens arm themselves, come to city council meeting and disobey the order.”)

“Larry Pratt (of Gun Owners of America) and Bob Wright are in the middle of the resistance. Bob reports the cops were ‘VERY, VERY polite.’ With at least 80 armed citizens in the room that was probably a good idea.”

2. Smuggling in defiance of new state laws in Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Colorado, etc. Examples: public announcement of smuggling on steps of CT state capitol, 20 April 2013; public defiance of Colorado state law by citizens exchanging standard capacity magazines on statehouse steps, Denver, 1 July 2013; continued quiet defiance by smuggling magazines and ammunition to affected states.

3. Manufacture and transfer of prohibited items in the affected states. Examples: magazine manufacture in two states; ammunition reloading and transfer contrary to law in Connecticut.

If there are any volunteers who would like to help out in those affected states, please drop me an email. And if there are any readers who would like to help out with conspiracy expenses, that would be great too.

Meet the new racist boss, same as the old racist boss.

The DOJ’s Radical Civil Rights Division: Obama’s pick to helm the division seems to hew to a racialist view of civil rights.

14 days until the Evie Hudak recall.

If you're in Colorado, be sure and help these folks out.

Neo-collectivist hate mail as entertainment.

A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods, to create an idealized, heroic, and at times, god-like public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. -- Wikipedia.

One brave anonymous left a comment below:

"Do everyone a favor and run off a cliff commie piece of shit traitor welfare junkie and save us all a few bucks."

"Save a few bucks"? This is a bit mystifying. Presumably he means by saving him from buying one of Kerodin's III-marked nooses to hang me. Now that's funny. However, today's winner of the hate mail contest comes from a piece forwarded to me by a reader of the K. acolyte Wirecutter, who opines on his blog:

Thank you, Mike. I consider Sam and his wife to be dear friends. Anybody that knows me will know that I’m hard to befriend and that it’s harder for me to trust anybody completely. For an outsider and piece of shit like yourself to recognize that these are my friends and that I’m willing to die for them is huge, particularly a double traitor (once to your Nation and then again to your subversive party) like yourself. . .

"Subversive party"? The Three Percent movement? Having established his bona fides in the K. cult of personality, he concludes:

I hope you die a long drawn out death. I hope like hell you drown in your own blood and mucus. I hope you pay for your crimes, your treachery and your evil deeds. Fuck you.

If these guys knew with what genuine mirth I receive their vile bile, they wouldn't send me so much of it. It would be nice if they demonstrated even a modicum of intellectual effort while doing so (like the mental giants at Media Matters for example) but then I suppose it wouldn't be so funny.

Running late.

More later.

If Congress 'finishes the job' as Brady Campaign demands, the 2nd Amendment is finished

Banning private sales will not "finish the job" to the gun prohibitionists' satisfaction. Even total forcible citizen disarmament is only a step (albeit an enormous one) in the direction the "progressives" would take us--toward a destination an armed citizenry would never allow itself to be taken. And even that is unlikely to be the ultimate end point.

That pesky old Mandate of Heaven thing. "The fiasco of the launch of Obama’s sweeping health care overhaul has put the reputation of Big Government progressivism at risk for at least this generation."

Obamacare's threat to liberalism.

But more dispassionate analysts — even sympathetic ones — say it would be hard to overstate the danger of this moment, for Obama and for Democrats more broadly. From the beginning, Obama sketched his agenda for the country as the sort that succeeds only once a generation, if then. . .

As the late Arthur Schlesinger Jr. liked to note, there are cycles in American history, in which periods of expansion and retrenchment of government activism follow each other by turns across the decades. If Obama’s forward charge fails, the record suggests retrenchment is likely to follow.

“The public feels completely bamboozled by this,” Gergen said. “And I think apologies are not going to be enough.

Folks, it is almost impossible to overestimate the damage Obamacare has done to the legitimacy of the regime -- and I'm not talking about what I read in the papers. This dispirits Obama's allies and encourages opposition to them on a much bigger battlefield filled with real people. I was being interviewed by a reporter on armed civil disobedience and the smuggling campaign in a local Applebee's restaurant on Friday afternoon and at every table the Obamacare fiasco was being roundly -- and loudly -- denounced. Later, I went to WalMart to pick up some icing buckets for long-term storage and every other conversation I overheard was about the Obomination. The folks gathered around the pharmacy were particularly incensed. After listening to one older fellow going on at length, I waited for him to catch his breath and asked, "Makes you mad enough to throw a brick through a Democrat's window, doesn't it?" He looked at me, blinked, and then said heatedly, "You bet your ass it does. I voted for the bastard the first time but this is bullshit. It's socialism is what it is."

I replied, "You know, there were some people back when the law was about to be passed who saw this coming and threw bricks through local Democrat Party headquarters windows in protest."

"Yeah?" he said. "Well they were right." He paused, "And I was wrong."

I smiled all the way out the door.

I was smiling because this doesn't just affect Obamacare but the entirety of the regime's plans for the next three years. If no one believes them because of the now-exposed Obamacare lies, they will not be able get folks to believe them on their responses to issues raised by other crises -- accidental or contrived.

This is a political victory for us that must be exploited. It also is a good reason not to be obsessed with defeatism by the false imagery of the Omnipotent Wizard but rather to continue to work on ways to pull back the curtain on the scared little man behind the curtain. Meanwhile, keep your rifles clean and your powder dry. If they get really desperate -- and really stupid -- they still might try a bloody game changer.

Hearst ‘Oswald’ hit piece on guns spreads falsehoods about federal law

Invoking Lee Harvey Oswald to produce a calculated emotional effect while showing total disregard for laws on the books, “reporter” Dan Freedman of the Hearst Washington Bureau made his case for so-called “universal background checks” Saturday in a “gun control” propaganda piece presented as straight news.

"Drastic times require drastic measures." She has no idea how drastic. Fuzzy-thinking Texas A&M law prof wants to repeal the 2nd Amendment with a "state's rights" solution.

The Daily Caller picked up the story, wherein an Aggie law professor calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment on, wait for it. state's rights grounds.

The original story quoted by DC came from CT News Junkie, where Penrose is quoted as saying:

“I think I’m in agreement with you and, unfortunately, drastic times require drastic measures,” Penrose said. “. . . I think the Second Amendment is misunderstood and I think it’s time today, in our drastic measures, to repeal and replace that Second Amendment.”

Rather than applying the amendment to all states, Penrose recommended striking the provision to enable individual states greater discretion in determining their own gun policies.

“The beauty of a ‘states’ rights model’ solution, is it allows those of you who want to live in a state with strong restrictions to do so and those who want to live in a state with very loose restrictions to do so,” she said.

Penrose said she advocates redrafting the entire U.S. Constitution when she teaches constitutional law courses. She said American life has changed drastically since the 18th Century when the constitution was adopted.

“Why do we keep such an allegiance to a constitution that was driven by 18th Century concerns? How many of you recognize that the main concern of the 18th Century was a standing army? That’s what motivated the Second Amendment: fear of a standing army,” she said.

"State's rights" interpretation? Would this legal idiot accept that for the First Amendment? The Fifth? Ah, but CT Governor Malloy apparently would:

Penrose, who described herself as “somewhat agnostic about guns but extremely passionate about the United States Constitution,” said she had expected her proposal to be very controversial. But she felt more at ease after listening to remarks by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who spoke at the symposium Friday morning.

Malloy defended a law passed this year that tightened state gun control restrictions in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Although he spoke before any of Friday’s panel discussions, the governor seemed to anticipate some questioning of the law’s constitutionality.

“This being a legal symposium, I’m quite certain the constitution will be thrown around quite a bit,” he said. “We support in our state the constitutional right to have arms. But no right is without its limitations.”

Although there is a right to practice religions, society has accepted that there is no right to practice human sacrifice or polygamy, Malloy said. Collectively, we have recognized limitations on the right to free speech, he said.

“There are other rights that we all agree have limitations. It really is only this one particular point that our society clashes on, and that one side honestly and I think truly believes there should be no limitations,” he said. “But, as you can probably surmise, I think they’re wrong.”

Malloy did not call for a repeal of the Second Amendment, but he did say he believes Connecticut and other states have the right to decide what the appropriate regulation of firearms is within the confines of the state and federal constitution. He said he recognized that other states would choose different regulation models, or may chose not to regulate guns.

Malloy also said he hopes the federal government will ultimately put into place laws that allow states that have chosen to properly regulate gun ownership to have a legal framework to prevent those guns from getting into their state.

I have a letter en route to Governor Malloy asking him some pointed questions about his enforcement of the magazine ban already. But I think I'll take keyboard in hand later on to engage Penrose on the field of ideas. In the mean time. . .

Of course as long as the FBI has Old Yellowstain Boehner by the pitiful excuse of what passes for testicles on the man, it will go nowhere.

Judge tosses suit filed by slain agent's family over Fast and Furious

This black-robed bastard is a Dubya appointee.

“Unfortunately, the judge did not look at any of the egregious behavior of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He merely looked at statutory procedures Congress had set up” in cases of the death of a federal agent, procedures Heyer said fail to recognize the difference between an officer killed in a motor vehicle accident and one, like Terry, shot to death because of what the family believes was negligence by federal officials.

Uh, huh. You know, it is but a short step from "Racists have to die" to "Kill all the racists." Of course for Oprah and other collectivists, "racism" is in the eye of the beholder and never, ever, in the mirror.

Now this is one way the armed citizenry is supposed to work. The military utility of the ubiquitous deer rifle.

Citizens in small Georgia town help catch robbery suspect

After a robbery at a small town grocery store, a group of concerned citizens helped catch the armed suspect, handing him over to police.

For 60-year-old Ken Lowery, the commotion began as he stepped inside Aden's Convenience Store and encountered the store clerk in distress.

"The lady screamed at me and said ‘I've been robbed. He's got a gun, and I gave him all the money,’" Lowery said.

Lowery said he saw the suspected gunman, identified as 24-year-old Damien Durham of Wilcox County, walking down the street making what he described as a nonchalant getaway.

Witnesses said it was a bizarre sight, but what happened next was even more unbelievable.

"People just kept coming around, and they were mad,” Lowery said.

More than 20 people, many of them armed, spread out in trucks and on foot to look for the suspect, Lowery said.

"We didn't have no leader of it all, we just went all our separate ways. And the people in Rhine they knew they are going to get that rascal," he said.

Lowery ended up tracking the suspect down roughly 200 yards away from the store.

He fired a warning shot from his deer rifle and said the suspect stashed his gun and money and hid in a nearby shed, where he was arrested by deputies.

‘Saddam Hussein’ and ‘Osama Bin Ladin’ oppose Ohio ‘Stand Your Ground’ bill

Well of course they do. And my father-in-law voted in at least eight elections after his death in West Memphis, Arkansas. Used to rise from the dead like Lazarus in clockwork fashion on election day, vote straight Democrat, and then laid his body back down until the next election. Arkansas, you may recall, is where ACORN got its start.
