Up to 6K 'beds in sheds' found by spy plane's thermal image camera

 

A spy plane equipped with a thermal imaging camera has found that more than 6,000 outbuildings in one town could be 'beds in sheds' converted by rogue landlords.

Slough Borough Council is the first local authority in the country to pay for the specially-adapted aircraft to fly over streets picking up heat from sheds and garages.

It spent £24,000 on flights to build up a precise 3D map of every building in the Berkshire town. The results mean thousands could be living there without planning permission or contributing council tax.

GRNC: Create a "Restaurant "Don't Buy List"

GRNC 'Safe Restaurants Project' will admonish gun rights supporters to report restaurants that post against concealed handguns

 

Recently signed by Governor Pat McCrory, on October 1 House Bill 937 will expand North Carolina's concealed handgun law into restaurants. Under the statute, restaurants may still elect to post signs prohibiting firearms.

Although concealed handgun permit-holders will still be prohibited from imbibing alcohol, gun control advocates are already planning to pressure restaurants to prohibit concealed carry. 

Accordingly, and with great reluctance, GRNC is responding with its "GRNC Safe Restaurants Project," to ensure the new law will provide its intended deterrent to violent crime.

The 3 objectives of the "GRNC Safe Restaurants Project":

1. Provide education for concealed handgun permit-holders to avoid accidental violations;
   
2. Provide "Protection Preferred" signage enabling supporting restaurants to subtly identify their support to permit-holders and supporters; and
   
3. Create a "Restaurant "Don't Buy List" which:

• Allows thousands of gun owners to report posted restaurants; 
  
• Sends restaurants notification they have been reported and requests them to remove signs or inform GRNC that a mistake has been made;
  
• Provides contact information for posted restaurants, enabling thousands of supporters to contact those restaurants to explain that they will not patronize posted establishments.

GRNC will distribute Restaurant Don't Buy lists and relevant materials to tens of thousands of gun owners via:

• GRNC's email alert network, comprising 87,000 supporters;
  
• Gun shows in Asheville, Hickory, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Lexington, Concord, Greensboro, Raleigh, Fayetteville and Jacksonville;
  
• GRNC's distribution network of nearly 50 gun shops;
  
• Concealed handgun permit classes statewide; and
  
• GRNC's highly popular website.

Said GRNC president Paul Valone:

"It's unfortunate GRNC must  counter gun control activists' attempts to undermine a law intended to deter restaurant crime and save lives. We fully sympathize with restaurant owners caught in the middle of a battle we'd rather not fight, but they should understand that, according to the Pew Research Center, gun rights supporters donate four times more and are more politically involved than gun control advocates. They should ask themselves whether they want to alienate the 399,268 North Carolinians who have applied for concealed handgun permits."

Issa Accuses White House, IRS of Stonewalling on Targeting Probe

 

Rep. Darrell Issa accused the Obama administration and its new IRS chief on Tuesday of obstructing his panel's investigation into the agency's targeting of tea party, conservative and religious groups.

If "the IRS continues to hinder the committee's investigation in any manner, the committee will be forced to consider use of compulsory process," the California Republican, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote in a letter to Internal Revenue Service Acting Commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The letter, which was reported by The Washington Times and CNN, was also signed by Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who also sits on the committee.

The letter, however, did not elaborate on exactly what steps Issa's panel might take, though he noted that impeding congressional investigators could result in prison terms of up to five years.

Perhaps not surprisingly, few firearms have been designed by murderers serving prison sentences. Of those few,  fewer still are adopted by the U.S. Military as a major war fighting tool. David M. Williams, a convicted murderer and former moonshiner redesigned a prototype from Winchester which became the M1 Carbine.

WI:Racine Gun Turn in (buy back) a Bust

Via WiscoDave

 

Gun Watch

VERBATIM

About as many people turned up to buy firearms as turned up to turn them in.

 A total of 77 guns were turned in, with many of them being BB guns.

 About 50 people turned up to buy any guns that were worth more than the gift cards offered by the turn in organizers.    It is very common for people turning in guns to bring two or more guns to be turned in.

The turn in organizers had $2,500 left over to purchase more firearms.  It will be used at some future event.

Many of the people who showed up to buy firearms were members of Wisconsin Carry.

Citizens purchasing private firearms at these events has become very common where private purchases are not banned by law.

Scholars have concluded that such events are ineffective at reducing crime, while opponents have said that they amount to little more than political theater aimed at undermining the Second Amendment, while being subsidized by local police forces.

Comment on Animals

 

Comment by Pirate Morgan on Animals:  "that animal will grow and hunt larger game, it feeds on hatred and vile thoughts."

Anonymous

No PM It feeds on Cocaine, Pot, Whores, pimping, violence, "40s" welfare and riddlin'. No amount of hippie-brotherly love-good vibe-government mandated "right think" can change that. I watched the riots first hand in the 60s. My mother was a freedom rider. I grew up knowing (and having dinner with) MLK, Rev. Abernathy, Jesse Jackson, Bishop Tu Tu and many others. The black community is what it is, and It has ALWAYS been violent. The whites just didn't care before now, because we lived apart. (As far as I can tell "the hood" is exactly the same right now as it was in 1966. Or for that matter 1936. White law just didn't care back then) 

But there is nothing that anyone can do that will change the violence that blacks perpetuate on each other. We have "run" in "white flight" to escape them. But we dare not say it for fear of being called RACIST. But please feel free to go spend the night in any major US city's "hood" then come back (if you can) and tell me I'm a "racist" and "it's all my fault" or how I need to feel "White guilt" because I feel no pity at all for these "poor urban youths". I grew up around the "urban black" community. They are what they are. They have always been and will always be. Nothing that anyone can ever do will change that. We have destroyed our nation trying to "change" and "educate" to "lift out of poverty" people who don't want our "help" and hate us for doing it almost as much as they hate each other.

IRS Now Has More Agents Than German Army

Gateway Pundit

The Internal Revenue Service includes an estimated 106,000 agents and employees.

The Treasury Department allocated $11.522 billion to the agency for operations in 2009.

Thanks to Obamacare the agency is expected to hire from 11,800 to 16,500 new agents.

That means the IRS will have from 117,800 to 122,500 after Obamacare is implemented.

The IRS has more agents than the German (62,279), Spanish (75,000) and Canadian (68,250) armies.

The Family Research Counsel also points out these shocking facts:

** The IRS has its own SWAT team.

** It has its own intelligence unit.

** And it has more agents than the armies of Canada, Spain or Germany have soldiers

Don’t you feel safe now?
