Dear foolish and gullible Americans. There’s a reason the government wants into the ‘Net. Religious freedom blogger Avjit Roy hacked to death. By guess who. And guess why. More. Cultural treasures and books have to go, also. Dog is shot twice but still stops home invasion. (H/T MR) This was a freelance home invasion. Had the thugs been wearing badges, presumably they’d have used large enough calibers to off the pesky mutt. The feds are now attempting to halt the liberty movement in Washington state using extralegal “detention” and intimidation.

Sometimes you need to say “no” to Big Brother
Over at TZP, I Make An Official Statement then muse on assassinations, revolutions and other generally bad ideas. Don’t miss the latest by Nicki Kenyon (on the most recent hoplophobic idiocy out of New York) and Y.B. ben Avraham (on the revival of a sadly stubborn European tradition) while you’re there.
The Lt. Gov. of Texas asked the Chancellor of the Texas A&M University System to weigh in on campus carry of firearms. Pretty good response (pdf) for a bureaucrat. He nails the central issue: trust. (H/T LarryA) The legalization of pot and “drugged” drivers who aren’t. The rich and the poor. Which in this case also seems to extend to the powerful and the powerless. They both cheat but from very different motives. Bovard on Obama’s rosy belief that the U.S. can squander its way to prosperity. The Freedom Feens say that effective libertarians (blush) study Claire Wolfe. (That one…
This Saturday, February 7, open carry activists will meet at the Washington state Capitol and some of them plan to risk arrest. This is in response to fiat decrees from both the state House and Senate forbidding OC in their galleries. They invite others along for moral support, to film events, or simply to listen to speakers (of which there is an impressive roster, including Mike Vanderboegh and Rep. Matt Shea, who has introduced a bill to repeal the ghastly Bloombergian I-594). I’ve got complicated thoughts about this event and will not be there. But David Codrea asks us fence-sitters…
… of what transpired at Thursday’s rally against I-594. The “get those crazies off our side” view from Barron at TheMinuteman.org. The “we aren’t subjects” view from Kit Lange at the Patrick Henry Society.
Dunno whether to laugh or cry. Alan Gottlieb and other mainstreamers sponsored a rally this morning in Olympia, Washington, to plead with legislators to undo the ghastly billionaire-driven I-594. Although a bill to do that is in the works, WA law doesn’t allow a voter-passed initiative to be easily altered or overturned in its first two years. So that’s interesting in itself. (And never forget: Gottlieb wants background checks; he just wants to be at the table to make the deals.) What’s more interesting is that today’s Gottliebian beg-your-legislators rally drew only about 1/10th — one tenth — the number…
Vin Suprynowicz interview will continue as scheduled sometime tomorrow. Meantime, some tab clearing … The dangers of tasers. Better late than never, I guess, and the info about the post-tase brain fog is something to think about. Very impressive, resourceful, and brave little girl. Her father taught her well. It’s too bad her hell is just beginning. Speaking of a child’s (and a family’s) hell, the Washington Post has an unusually even-handed story about how that Idaho toddler shot his mother to death. It being a story about Idaho and guns, I note that the D.C.-ites (without apparent irony) assigned…
Mike Vanderboegh does it again: “Refusal as a Weapon.” “There is NO unconstitutional law that Mike Bloomberg can buy that we cannot nullify with armed civil disobedience.” This one’s a real barnburner. The most inspirational, the most tell-it-like-it-is thing you’ll read all year. Spread the link. I’ll be posting it at The Zelman Partisans as well as here.
Love it! Trekkies (and fed-up fliers) tell the TSA who’s boss. (H/T S.) For this couple, energy-efficiency has jumped the shark. At least they now understand and are willing to say what a pair of idiots they were to build such a house. Wow. That was some impressive pistol shot! Lyrics NSFW and hip-hop might not be to everybody’s taste. But Freedom Feen Neema Vedadi (with Mason Moore) has a way of putting freedom right in the face of a new generation: “See My Chains.” (Tip o’ hat to MD) If you’ve never been to the Buffalo Bill Firearms Museum…
