David Codrea: Obama floating new semi-auto ban puts administration intent on the radar

"With this as background, Obama ending his self-imposed citizen disarmament discussion embargo, not only before the election, but the day before speculation in some quarters has him signing the ATT, ought to put gun owners on high alert."

WWII said...: Hello Mr. Vanderboegh,

My mom and I are long time readers and fans from way back, long before you became famous for the brick/window incidents or Fast and Furious.

I know this has nothing to do with your topic, but I was hoping that you would help me help my mom. My mom is a proud woman and would never ask for help for herself, so I am asking.

Could you please post this in your comments and maybe some of your Patriot readers will help a widow going through a hard time.

I know it is off topic, but I am asking all the blogs that we frequent as well as posting on Facebook.

I appreciate your help.

By the way, my mom said she offered to fix your PayPal button for you. Did you ever get it fixed?

Anyway, here is my post:

I'm coming to all my Internet friends for help.

You don't have to donate, but PLEASE post this to all your friends:

Also, indiegogo takes 4% of all donations as fees IF you reach your goal and 9% if you don't reach your goal, so if anyone who donates wants to donate directly to PayPal they can donate to this PayPal email: warren290059 at yahoo.com; July 27, 2012 at 1:04 PM
obvious moniker said...: Mike, you might want to check out the standard capacity mag ban they're trying to sneak onto the cybersecurity bill.

Also, can you do something about the link to the video a few posts down? My phone goes apeshot every time I hit your page with it linked the way it is.; July 27, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Anonymous said...: Perhaps BHO's polling data indicates that his margin of victory in the swing states of Pennsylvania and Michigan is sufficiently large to allow him the luxury of offending their numerous gun owners.

Alternately, he wants revenge on the NRA for their support of the contempt resolution against Eric Holder.

Whatever the case, he has picked a fight he cannot win. Gun ownership among registered voters has increased 50% since 1990.

Alienating this demographic has been damaging to Democrats in past elections and has the potential to prove fatal in this one.

I suspect BHO is wrestling with a masochistic impulse because he routinely overreaches in his political goals and gets a severe spanking for his efforts.

Yuck! I hope the November elections rid us of him.

answer: for the same reason they DON'T happen at firing ranges

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
