Brady Anti-Gun Cult Joins Sure-Loser Civil Case Against Gander Mountain

 

On December 24, 2012, William Spengler apparently murdered his sister in his home, and then set the house on fire as “bait” to draw in West Webster, NY firefighters, whom he then ambushed.

 Spengler fatally shot firefighters Tomasz Kaczowka and Michael Chiapperini. Firefighters Ted Scardino and Joseph Hofstetter were also shot, but survived. Spengler then traded fire with police before finally ultimately committing suicide with a handgun. Spengler had previously murdered his grandmother with a hammer in 1980, and couldn’t have purchased the guns legally.

The Bushmaster rifle and Mossberg shotgun used in the attack were quickly traced to Spengler’s neighbor, Dawn Nguyen, who confessed to purchasing the firearms. She was just sentenced Monday to the 1 1/3-4 year maximum sentence for straw-purchasing the weapons.

The families of the four firefighters and the Brady Campaign are now suing sporting goods retailer Gander Mountain, claiming that the store should have known that Nguyen was committing a straw purchase, essentially arguing that women never buy guns for themselves:

North Carolina businessman can’t sell his own beer in his own restaurants

Two years ago, Greensboro businessman Marty Kotis had an idea. He’d start a brewery to complement his handful of restaurant properties in town. The Pig Pounder Brewery (named for a beloved beer from a now-defunct restaurant he set out to recreate) now occupies a 3,700 sq-ft building and is ready to produce five microbrews for local customers.

But those people will not be customers at Kotis’ restaurants, as he envisioned. Because of a post-Prohibition law, the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) says it cannot issue him the necessary permits to serve his own beer at his own restaurants.

Swallowing the Dog

Via WRSA 

 

 In the South, the term "swallowing the dog" meant pledging allegiance to the United States

Dixie

This is another series of excerpts from The Day Dixie Died that our readers ought to really enjoy. What is the meant by the phrase “swallowing the dog”?

For Confederate veterans, the term “swallowing the dog” meant being forced to repeatedly pledge allegiance to the United States whose military forces were occupying the Confederacy.

“Swallowing the dog” is the same feeling of alienation and disgust that Southerners experience today at the sight of President Barack Hussein Obama and Eric “My People” Holder:

“It was the most despised word in the South. A few took it “as if it was nothing more than a Glass of Lemonade.” Others refused as if it were arsenic. It forced people to reexamine their priorities:

principles or bread? They reconsidered what it meant to give their word of honor. For loyal Confederates, it was likened to “swallowing the dog.”

The Oath of Allegiance to the United States became a staple of the Confederate diet. In exchange for the privilege to vote, to transact business, to acquire rations, to perform marriage ceremonies, or even get married. Rebels were forced to gulp down their pride and utter these words: “I do solemnly swear that I hereby renounce all countenance, support and allegiance to the so-called Confederate States of America.

For a people left crushed a crippled, the requirement of the oath was like pouring salt into an open wound.

Detroit Police Chief, Gracing Cover Of NRA Magazine, Defends Stance On Right To Bear Arms

Via Susan

Detroit’s police chief is interviewed in the most recent issue of “America’s First Freedom” — an NRA magazine —  voicing his support for the right to bear arms.

The article titled, “A Show of Courage In Detroit,” comes following at least five fatal shootings in two months involving homeowners protecting themselves from intruders.  The sub-headline reads, “Motor City Police Chief James Craig Encourages Citizens to Arm Themselves.”

Craig, whose photo appears on the cover, says being featured in the magazine does not mean he advocates violence; he just strongly believes in the right to protect one’s self.

“We’re talking about people who are faced with an imminent threat or great bodily injury. That’s what we’re talking about here. So I stand by that, I support it,” ” Craig told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Jackie Paige in a live interview on Monday.

GRNC Alert 05-22-14 RECIPROCITY PROBLEMS - IS NC NEXT?

Our friend, Jeff Knox, at the Firearms Coalition, has issued the following critical alert (below). It looks like Pennsylvania needs our help, and this is the perfect chance to show that gun owners across the country will unite for a common cause, and will refuse to be continually subjected to harassment and illegal activities by government officials. Below, you’ll see what the Pennsylvania’s AG is doing to concealed-carry reciprocity agreements with several states. If this is allowed to stand, it’s only a matter of time until North Carolina’s reciprocity agreement with Pennsylvania is also on the chopping block. Here are important excerpts from Knox’s message:

Pennsylvania’s gun-unfriendly Attorney General has taken it upon herself to ignore the statutory limits on her power and modify - and even cancel - longstanding reciprocity agreements with other states.  Recently she has made changes to the reciprocity agreements with Virginia, Florida, and Arizona, and she has canceled reciprocity agreements with Idaho and Utah.

I suspect that Mike Bloomberg or the Legal Center Against Violence - or whatever those rights-hating San Francisco lawyers are calling themselves this week - have been whispering in the AG's ear and convinced her that she can get away with this.  If that's the case, be on the lookout for similar actions in other states.

Right now, we need to put pressure on Pennsylvania politicians to rein in the AG and force her to respect the rights of Pennsylvanians and folks who would like to visit Pennsylvania.

Whether you're a PA resident or not, please let the Governor know that you're not happy about the situation.  Not only does this mean that those of us wishing to visit PA are more likely to have problems carrying our personal defense arms, but Pennsylvanians wishing to visit other states are now at greater risk.

Tourism is a major industry in Pennsylvania and that got a boost a few years ago when the National Park Service ban on lawful carry on NPS lands was lifted - opening up battlefield parks like Gettysburg to those of us who avoid going where we can't go armed.  That is now being jeopardized by the extra-statutory actions of this rogue AG.

If you've ever considered visiting Pennsylvania, let the Governor know that those plans are on hold until such time as the PA AG stops threatening the rights of responsible, licensed, law-abiding visitors.

The generally gun-friendly Governor's email address is listed below, and you’ll also see the note I've sent him.  Please use it as a guide to send him a note of your own to let him know that his AG is costing his state business. You don't have to say a lot, just let him know you're not happy and you're going to avoid Pennsylvania as long as the state’s concealed-carry reciprocity agreements are in question or voided all together. 

Action, please

Obama Administration’s Silence on Pregnant Christian Woman Sentenced to Death is Deafening

Via Susan

The President’s team can hardly afford another scandal, but that’s exactly what they’ll have on their hands if the U.S. State Department insists on ignoring the plight of an American family in Sudan.

For three months, a young Christian wife — now almost eight and a half months pregnant — has been shackled in a Sudanese prison on death row. Authorities, who refuse to recognize her marriage to a Christian man, have sentenced her to 100 lashes for adultery and execution for her faith.

As if that weren’t horrifying enough, her stateside husband, Daniel Wani, an American citizen, says their 20-month-old toddler is behind bars with her, enduring unspeakable horrors at the hands of the oppressive Sudanese. Her frantic husband, who continues to plead with the U.S. Embassy for help, flew from New England to Khartoum to visit his wife, Meriam Ibrahim — and was beside himself to find her bound up and swollen. For now, authorities refuse to release his son to Daniel, because of his faith. Although the court gave Meriam days to recant her Christianity, she refused, saying, “I am a Christian, and I will remain a Christian.”

And while the court does allow pregnant women to give birth before their hanging, the international community is pressing to overturn the verdict.
