California court ruling undermines victory declaration on ‘assault weapons’ veto

While Gov. Brown may very well have been swayed by tens of thousands of letters (although he handily beat anti-gun Republican Meg Whitman in the 2010 election with over a million votes), and while his explanation that “I don't believe that this bill's blanket ban on semi-automatic rifles would reduce criminal activity or enhance public safety enough to warrant this infringement on gun owners' rights” may be sincere, that doesn’t mean he won’t be receptive to future, less ambitious erosion. And there’s another significant factor that we addressed at the start of this report, one that may have had a significant impact of its own: The Zondorak case. [More]

This afternoon’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes that reports of our victory have been greatly exaggerated, and that those who would “make progress” with citizen disarmament are smart and patient enough to do so one step at a time.

October 25 a shameful day in Revolutionary history

It's one thing to intellectualize that the system of liberty-based government created by the victors made the continuation of the age-old obscenity of human bondage untenable and doomed to being eradicated in under a century, and another to note that would have been small comfort to the man, woman or child brutally treated as chattel.

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes an old evil we did not commit but are nonetheless all still paying for.

A Test Run

Terry McAuliffe intends to use Virginia as a platform to show the rest of blue America how he can use Washington-style politics to radically change Virginia’s laws and traditions. [More]
Or Virginia gun owners can make sure they are personally involved to make sure that doesn't happen, and that Bloomberg & Co. have been foiled again...

Seems the parts weren't gun parts. They're printer parts. And the "suspected gang member" is a modeller who prints cake decorations.

This Day in History: October 25

It having been represented that many Negroes and Mulattoes the property of Citizens of these States have concealed themselves on board the Ships in the harbor; that some still continue to attach themselves to British Officers and that others have attempted to impose themselves upon the officers of the French and American Armies as Freemen and to make their escapes in that manner, In order to prevent their succeeding in such practices All Officers of the Allied Army and other persons of every denomination concerned are directed not to suffer any such negroes or mulattoes to be retained in their Service but on the contrary to cause them to be delivered to the Guards which will be establish'd for their reception at one of the Redoubts in York and another in Gloucester. Mr. David Ross will have the superintendency and will give passes to enable them to return to their Masters or where that is not practicable will have directions to make other provision for them. Any Negroes or mulattoes who are free upon proving the same will be left to their own disposal. [More]
