"Back in April 2007, I wrote this guest editorial for David Codrea's War on Guns blog. Given all the recent calls for firearm confiscation, repeal of the 2nd Amendment and other proposed violations of the Law of Unintended Consequences, a friend suggested that I should reprint it." ...
"3. The war would not end until one vision of America or the other won. It would be war to the knife and knife to the hilt. The 850,000 traditional Americans would be determined to take as many of the Einsatzgruppen, their commanders and controllers with them as possible. And it would be far greater than a one-to-one ratio. The fanaticism that the liberals have always imputed to us, would in the event, become real and deadly. ..." ... |

... "The scenario presented in Small Wars Journal isn’t a literary device but an operational lay-down intended to present the rationale and mechanisms for Americans to fight Americans. Col. Benson and Ms. Weber contend, 'Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil.' ..."
"A professor at the Joint Forces Staff College was relieved of duty in June for uttering the heresy that the United States is at war with Islam. The Obama administration contended the professor had to be relieved because what he was teaching was not U.S. policy. Because there is no disclaimer attached to the Small Wars piece, it is fair to ask, at least in Col. Benson’s case, whether his views reflect official policy regarding the use of U.S. military force against American citizens." |

"Gun control advocates want Americans to believe that military-style semi-automatic rifles are designed for one thing and one thing only: spree killing. (e.g., 'Such weapons are nearly useless for self-defense but perfect for mass murder.') Gun rights advocates counter than AR-style rifles are the Swiss Army knife of long guns. They fulfill many roles, from target practice to home defense. And hunting. For some reason, the anti-gun crowd treads carefully around the hunting issue—as if taking game is a sacred American right that transcends day-to-day politics. Which, of course, it is and does. ..." ... |

"As you probably know, routine maintenance of your firearm is the best way to keep it in safe working order. Rust is one of the biggest problems many hunters face, as these firearms are exposed to harsh conditions that may lead to excessive wear and malfunctions. The problem is more likely in wet, dirty and dusty environments. Fortunately, it’s relatively simple to remove rust from your gun and keep this issue from becoming a problem. While you’re cleaning your gun to remove the surface rust, keep in mind that you should never bear down very hard or you may cause damage to the firearm’s finish. Removing surface rust is one of the easiest things you can do to maintain the integrity of your rifle or shotgun ..." ... |

"The Second Amendment is dead — a victim of its own making. It has been killed over and over again. It’s been dying since the mass murders at the University of Texas Clock Tower, 101 California in San Francisco, McDonalds in San Diego, Columbine, Virginia Tech, Trolley Square, Fort Hood Army Base, and now Aurora, Colo. It only remains to be declared DOA and repealed — plain and simple." ... |

"I’m a gun owner, just three: a 30-30 Winchester ('won the West'), a .22 target rifle and an antique shotgun from my father."
"I value my Second Amendment right to own them."
"But I equally value other rights being demonstrably denied by our current approach to the Second Amendment, our rights of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' Even though those aren’t stated in the Constitution, but rather start our Declaration of Independence, we Americans consider them no less inviolate." ... |

Make that too well researched. To wit: 'On Friday, August 10, Fareed Zakaria issued the following statement about this article: 'Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my TIME column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore’s essay in the April 22nd issue of The New Yorker.

... "Overall, Spitzer sees gun control policy as a necessary means to reduce gun violence and stop sociopaths from killing innocents. Barrett, on the other hand, sees gun control as being largely futile."
"'It’s perplexing and infuriating to gun-control advocates that as a political matter, there is little chance of new national restrictions on firearms,' Barrett wrote in Bloomberg Businessweek piece."
"'Politics aside, what’s really dumbfounding many liberals is that no amount of legislative tinkering would stop or even seriously slow the sort of evil psychotics who shoot innocent people in movie theaters, shopping malls—or a suburban Sikh temple.'" ... |

"Guns have two main purposes: self-defense and entertainment such as hunting and shooting competitions. You don’t typically see a lot of overlap between the worlds of self-defense and hunting. You’d probably get arrested if you tried to carry your shotgun or hunting rifle around town so that you could use it for self-protection, and bringing your compact pistol out into the woods for a day of hunting is a little bit silly."
"In rare cases, however, the worlds of hunting and self-defense clash with bruising force. Such was the case in Fertile, Minnesota, where 66-year-old Mark Christianson had a close encounter with a wild buck." ... |

Six days ago, I started cataloging defensive gun use articles from newspapers around the US and can tell you that a heater can come in handy. I figured a few minutes a day would be enough to track down and log the few articles I’d find on the Intertubes. Boy, was I wrong. In just six days, I accumulated over sixty articles. Yep, my highly developed Google-fu skills netted an average of ten DGUs a day being reported in the local newspapers across the country. That’s ten citizens defending themselves. Every day.

"'I think the ways to get a majority of them would be to stand up and say, 'Look, I'm not gonna be president of the United States and have 48,000 people killed, murdered with illegal guns in the next four years in my term. I'm just not going to do that,' he said, during his regular Friday morning radio appearance on the John Gambling Show. 'And here's what I'll do. Now, Congress may not pass it. But I'm gonna work as hard as I can. This is where I stand.' And I think that's the ways that they would get a majority of that 20 percent, which is what they need to win.'" ... |

I am literally revolted by the Obama administration’s corruption, lies, hypocrisy and stonewalling on Operation Fast and Furious. But now I’m back to face facts—something that Obama’s Boyz are still trying desperately to avoid. And for good reason. As I’ve been saying since the beginning of this scandal, even before Mexican drug thugs wielding ATF-enabled firearms gunned down U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, F&F was more than a 'botched sting.' To quote President Obama’s mentor, the chickens are coming home to roost. ..." ... |
