Death By Stupidity: AR-15 style rifle wielded by man shot, killed by cops determined to be a BB gun

One man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Provo Sunday morning, and police said the man fled from police, feigned ramming a police vehicle, and eventually engaged with police while wearing a tactical vest and carrying an AR-15 style rifle–which police later determined was an Airsoft BB gun.

Police tell FOX 13 News that the Airsoft rifle should have had an orange tip to indicate it is a BB gun rather than a firearm, but they said it appears that the suspect had removed the orange tip from the rifle, which is pictured below. Airsoft BB guns are often modeled to look like realistic firearms, which is why the orange safety tips are a requirement.

Scott Walker Emerges as Favorite of Kochs, Hit on Conservative Trail

 

Tea partiers liked Walker "because he's for real," said Mark Block, who ran AFP's Wisconsin chapter during Walker's first run for governor. "He has a plain-spoken way that is totally relatable. He says what he's going to do and does it."

"President Obama is a clear and present threat to America."

It is obvious, after six years,  that he means the country harm.  He has done our nation terrible damage; $18t in debt, massive unemployment, purposeful economic malaise.  The trillions in debt may bring about our downfall but most terrifying is the fact that the Democrats of his party are willing dupes to his vile agenda.  They would rather get along and go along than stand up and shout that the emperor has no clothes.  They value party over country.  

Most of the Republicans in Washington are the same. So afraid of our despicable leftist media and their predictable name-calling, they zip their lips and let this man undermine the brilliance of our Founders rather than scream their opposition at the top of their lungs.  He is shredding the Constitution with their apparent blessing.  Republican exceptions are Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy, Scott Walker, and several others.  Still too few to fight the anti-conservative media machine.

New Jersey man facing ten years in prison for possession of 300 yr old flintlock pistol

Via Bill

Paging Governor Chris Christie. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

There’s trouble brewing in New Jersey, as reported by our Townhall colleague Matt Vespa. 72 year old retired teacher Gordon VanGilder was arrested and now faces trial on weapons possession charges. That’s a sad, but not terribly unusual story in the Garden State which remains fairly unfriendly to Second Amendment rights. What gives this story a seriously tragic twist is that the weapon VanGilder was “caught” with is nearly 300 years. old.

Basic Survival

 

I was forced to learn about survival during my time in war. Being locked down in city for a year with violence from army that surrounded the city and violence from gangs fighting for resources was crash course in survival. Surviving the atrocities of war taught me lots of things, most importantly it taught me about acceptance of things you can not change and correct way of approaching problems.

Whatever problems come up.

Federal Judge Blocks Obama's Executive Action on Immigration

A federal judge in South Texas on Monday temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration, giving a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen's decision comes after a hearing in Brownsville in January and puts on hold Obama's orders that could spare as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally from deportation.

Hanen wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward and that without a preliminary injunction the states will "suffer irreparable harm in this case."

"The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle," he wrote, adding that he agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that legalizing the presence of millions of people is a "virtually irreversible" action.
