Find an FFL licensed to sell NFA firearms. Arrange for the...

FReeper Black Agnes was a frequent participant in the threads on SARS-CoV-2. I exchanged PMs often over many years. A PM wishing her a Happy New Year went unanswered. That was unusual. From Black Agnes | 11/02/2021 7:57:09 AM PDT repliedThe timestamp for her last PM reply to me. Are there any other FReepers here that know her outside of FreeRepublic. I asked Jim Robinson if he could ping her registered e-mail for the account. It came back as failed permanently. Jim suggested a thread here to see if anyone has another means to contact her.

A North Dakota court has preliminarily upheld the first-ever use of an unmanned drone to assist in the arrest of an American citizen. A judge denied a request to dismiss charges Wednesday against Rodney Brossart, a man arrested last year after a 16-hour standoff with police at his Lakota, N.D., ranch. Brossart's lawyer argued that law enforcement's "warrantless use of [an] unmanned military-like surveillance aircraft" and "outrageous governmental conduct" warranted dismissal of the case, according to court documents obtained by U.S. News. [Photo Gallery: The Expansion of the Drone] District Judge Joel Medd wrote that "there was no improper use...

Legislation that would require publicly traded companies to conduct independent security audits and detail the results in their annual reports could be revived as early as next spring if a special vendor task force fails to produce a viable alternative. That was the message this week from Rep. Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) after the release of his subcommittee's annual report on government cybersecurity efforts (see story). Putnam, chairman of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on Technology, failed in his attempt to introduce the legislation last month and instead formed the task force.Most federal agencies received low grades from the subcommittee for...

SACRAMENTO -- A handgun licensing measure that would become one of the nation's farthest reaching if it makes it into law narrowly won passage in the state Senate on Wednesday, setting up a showdown in the Legislature's lower house. Gun rights advocates decried the approval of SB52 by Sen. Jack Scott, D-Pasadena, and said they would fight to derail what they characterized as a flawed, unnecessary expansion of California's restrictions on obtaining and owning firearms. The measure now moves to the Assembly. Scott praised the Senate action and said the bill would increase handgun safety and help reduce the ...

The San Diego Second Amendment Sisters/Armed Informed Mothers (SAS/AIM) was joined by the San Diego members of the Tyranny Response Team in Balboa Park on Mother's Day 2001. Our ranks were sparse but spirited. The signs encouraging passing drivers to "Honk if you own a gun" or "Honk if you love freedom" kept the air alive with honking horns. Most cars passing through the intersection offered support. As expected, we also received a few "thumbs down" and "finger up" greetings from detractors. It was a pleasant day to acquire a sunburn and educate a few more curious citizens. Getting started ...

A BAND of ultra-religious paramilitary zealots have barricaded themselves into a dusty Texas compound with several children and an arsenal of guns, vowing to die before they will surrender to police. The standoff is taking place just 70 miles from Waco, and the memory of the 1993 siege in which 80 Branch Davidians and their leader David Koresh died explains why the authorities have so far proceeded with extreme caution in handling a situation that could lead to another bloodbath. Inside the 47-acre compound, near Trinidad, in east Texas, are 16 people, including seven children, led by John Joe Gray, ...

The Department of Justice in California issued a new interpretation of the SB23 assault weapon ban just after 2 PM PST. The new interpretation covers the definition of a "pistol grip" that protrudes significantly below the action of the rifle. The interpretation offered says that if a line parallel to the barrel and tangent to the bottom of the trigger guard passes through the stock, then the weapon is an assault rifle. The FFL that owns my local shooting range brought me that info hot off a phone call with the DOJ. I was exchanging some 30 rd magazines that ...

It’s open season on the right to keep and bear arms as UN globocrats gear up for international gun controls. The United Nations is very troubled that the United States has retained its Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Radical new UN proposals treat free people with the means to effect their own self-defense as a vital threat to the United Nations and its quest for what it calls the "peace-building process." Read the balance of the article here.

Executive Order 13083 seeks to give the US government supremacy over the states, instead of the states empowering the federal government.
