"Scalia, who read the opinion from the bench, said their decision will have a "minimal" effects on criminal defendants. "Because of the protections created by this court in Miranda and related cases, there is little if any chance that a defendant will be badgered into waiving his right to have counsel present during interrogation," Scalia said." [link]
I am sure that anyone familiar with David Codrea and his "Only Ones" pieces are sure to find fault in this statement.

"Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced." -- Albert Einstein
Scary Proposal
"The law would regulate the storage, possession and sale of ammunition and require dealers to record each ammo sale and the caliber, make and model of the firearm for which the ammo purchase was made. Initially, the law had required the serial number of the firearm, but Steck removed that requirement from the legislation...
“I don’t think it’s an issue of gun control advocates versus gun enthusiasts,” the lawmaker added. “I’ve campaigned for public office many times. I’ve met many people who are gun owners in New York, and I’ve never encountered a one who feels oppressed by the existing gun control laws of New York..." [link]
It's not just gun control, it is just control. The more they go after rights the more obvious it becomes. Also would anyone like to make odds that the bold statement is a complete lie?

Their Misplaced Ideals
"Democratic leaders in Congress tend to support more restrictive gun laws but have yielded on the issue since a majority of their rank-and-file members increasingly side with the National Rifle Association (NRA) when votes involve the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." [link]
Do you think the MSM would understand a little better if someone actually read the Constitution to them? My thinking for as long as I can remember is why even have a bill go through Congress that even mentions limiting any sort of right. The only good gun legislation would be the lifting of all the un-Constitutional laws that are already in effect.

Taxpayer Money "Well Spent"!
“It’s a pretty good-looking group of citizens,” he said. “We didn’t expect any gangsters.”
Detective Bill Flannery, busy identifying the guns collected in Canoga Park, said he was surprised by “the number of guns that little old ladies are bringing in.” [link]
Did they really expect anything different? "Gangsters" realize they must use the gun as a means of intimidation.
Even one of their own replied they did not expect any "gangsters" to turn in guns. Aren't you glad that in the midst of this recession your tax dollars can be spent on things that help the community you live in? I sure am!

A Personal Apology
I would like to apologize to my regular and non-regular readers for last week's lapse of material. I had to be off on a job related training on short notice, and alas, I have no laptop as of yet. On a positive note, the training for my job was Aikido Control Techniques, which only expanded on my knowledge of personal defense.
Misplaced Lies of the MSM Regarding Guns in Mexico
Geez...what a title for a post, anyway, had to get the point across, and on to today's Gun Rights Examiner Column!.

More Things That Should Be Banned
Many of my regular readers know that I am always on the lookout for things that are potentially dangerous and deadly. I think I may have found something that should be on this list, but has been overlooked most likely due to its outward appearance.
"Memphis police are on the hunt for a woman they say used a baby as a weapon to fight off security guards during a shoplifting attempt Wednesday." [link]
Anyone else up for urging politicians to start some sort of exploratory committee to look into the banning of this potentially dangerous weapon?

Top 40 Reasons to Support Gun Control
Ran across this and thought it was funny. I will give you a short preview of what is on the list.
"2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA's high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.
9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense — give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p. 125).
12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1791, refers to the National Guard, which was created by an act of Congress in 1903.
13. The National Guard, funded by the federal government, occupying property leased to the federal government, using weapons owned by the federal government, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a state militia."
You can see the rest of the list here.

I Plan on Some Flack From This
By now many of you that keep up with my blog probably know about the passage of the concealed carry in national parks having been re instituted. What will probably surprise nearly all of you is that I was against this legislation!
Now before the flame wars start let me explain. First off this legislation was added as an amendment to another bill before congress. I have always thought that this was unethical and underhanded (even when it comes to the 2nd Amendment). Secondly the original bill was a bill that imposes restrictions on credit card companies. I believe this to be un-Constitutional. Article 1 Section 10 of the Constitution forbids states from impairing obligations to contracts. However a pretty good argument could be made against the Federal government via the 14th Amendment and the due process clause.
Also notice that republicans (not true conservatives) in order to stand up for gun rights had to go against their own free market rhetoric (restricting credit card companies, a for profit business and industry). Granted nearly all of the credit card companies use aggressive tactics all of these changes in an individuals credit card fees are listed in the contract when they sign up for one, it is ones own responsibility to read the fine print.
Isn't it funny to watch republicans line up to vote for firearms at the expense of fiscal responsibility? Weren't they always the party that wanted the government to keep their hands off of what someone did financially?
Don't get me wrong, I am glad that concealed carry of firearms is "legal" but it should never have been illegal due to the 2nd Amendment.

"Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in nursery." -- Benjamin Disraeli
Force Them to Become Domesticated
"The principal of a Utah middle school has been asked to apologize for forcing a kilt-wearing student to change his clothes.
Weber School District spokesman Nate Taggart says Craig Jessop has been asked to extend an apology to 14-year-old student Gavin McFarland of Hooper after the school official's comments Wednesday.
Gavin says he wore the kilt twice in the past two weeks to Rocky Mountain Junior High as a prop for an art project. Jessop told the boy that the outfit could be misconstrued as cross-dressing." [link]
If they force you at an early age to learn to be controlled, you wind up being easy to handle. Like domesticated animals. Those that can think for themselves and show personal responsibility are the "real dangers" to the system.
For the longest time I used to misconstrue public schools as actual education centers!

Why Don't We Kick 'Em in the Head
Overall, this piece of trash probably deserved a kick in the head, but at this time and under these circumstances? Read the rest from today's GRE column.
Quote for the Day
"I have never wished anyone dead, but I have read many an obituary with great joy"--Winston Churchill
Wonder How Much Taxpayer's Will Have to Pay for This Mistake?
Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
"...Biden "said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment." [link]
Well, now that the cat is out of the bag, guess we have to find a new hidey whole for the idiot in waiting. Wonder how much this will cost taxpayers. If it weren't for Pelosi being two heartbeats away from the president I would suggest a public lynching for this moron!

An Example of How to Handle Them
"Republicans kept the pressure up on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, with Republican House leader John Boehner saying she should prove her allegation that the CIA lied about waterboarding, or apologize to the nation's intelligence officials.
"I think that she ought to either present the evidence or apologize, one or the other," Boehner (R-Ohio) said..." [link]
They're sort of like puppies. You have to catch them in the act, put their nose in it, then swat their tells.

What Happens When You Meet Violence Head On!
"I just leaned forward and punched him in the forehead with my gun," she said. The man "screamed like a girl and almost dropped his gun" as he ran away, she added." [link]
I don't know her, but she is a wonderful person, and someone I would love to meet. I can just picture him running away. I bet he either left a wet or smelly trail or a combination!

"Injustice is rife when people have no conscience. In our time, only politically correct official 'victim groups' are deserving of concern, and the compassion they receive is orchestrated for the purpose of advancing political agendas." – Paul Craig Roberts
Isn't It Fun To Watch Them Squirm
Isn't it fun to watch them sqirm! Now as far as I know there is no full proof way to tell if someone is lying or not, however there are several key signs that more often than not are indicators of being told a lie. You can search for them yourself, I will link you to one.
Contradictions and Lies Abound in This Administration
"The long-term deficit and debt that we have accumulated is unsustainable. We can't keep on just borrowing from China or borrowing from other countries," Obama told a town hall meeting event in New Mexico..."What's also true is at some point they're just going to get tired of buying our debt," he said. "And when that happens, we will really have to raise interest rates to be able to borrow and that will raise interest rates for everybody." [link]
We already know about the broken campaign promises, the lies about government transparency, lies about fixing spending etc... But take a close look at the quotes from our Liar-in-Chief, "We can't just keep on borrowing..." and a bit later "...raise interest rates to be able to borrow..." I mean what the hell! One moment he says we have to stop borrowing, and a moment later he says eventually interest rates will have to go up to continue borrowing.
Can this man speak without a lie spilling forth from his mouth, or some other form of deceptive doublespeak?

Quote for the Day
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents...." – James Madison
Myth of GOP Only Tax Protest
"...the no vote is fueled by voter anger at the enormous surge in spending in the Golden State over the past decade, and by the refusal to make serious reforms in the way the state runs. The public pension problem is also beginning to come into view, and ordinary voters are shocked at the amount of spending the public employee unions have carved out of the legislature." [link]
In the land of the left there seems to be general disgust at the way the state government is ran and the cost to the taxpayers. Start digging too deeply in any one's pockets and they start turning ugly. The MSM should get their stories straight and realize that corruption and over-taxation hurts everyone and it is not just about the GOP being bitter.
