Chukar Country

by Brigid June 30, 2010 Home on the Range

If you looked out across the draw you would see them come into view. A small brace of tall bodies, moving deliberately, guns in hand, sweat evaporating into the high desert air, the movement of the bodies that of predator stalking, far away from the cities unsleeping and melancholy murmur. In our pockets and bags were ammo and supplies, toilet paper, aluminum foil, duct tape and other things that

G20 Toronto 2010: Are These “Protestors” or Criminals?

by DC Handgun Info June 30, 2010 DC Handgun Info

 

I found this awful video of street protests at the Toronto G20 summit, courtesy of Instapundit. It really bothered me. These so-called "protestors" likely planned for weeks to disrupt the G20 summit, and probably had "plausible deniability" about the "Black Bloc" criminals who laid waste to Toronto’s Yonge Street, as shown below.

Whatever happened to police confronting looters with bullhorns ("This is an illegal demonstration…Disperse or be arrested…If you do not stop, you will be arrested", and the like), water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, et cetera? Is Canada too nice to defend itself from hoodlums wearing black masks?

WHY DIDN’T THE TORONTO POLICE FORCE DO MORE AGAINST THESE BASTARDS? I am at a loss to understand what I saw in that video, except for the following: The "general" (peaceful) protesters KNOW of the Black Bloc elements, but won’t denounce them to the police because of friendships or fear of reprisal (sounds like the Mafia terrorizing their own Sicilian people!).

ISRA and SAF Supreme Court Victory in McDonald v Chicago

by AmmoLand June 30, 2010 AmmoLand

ISRA and SAF Supreme Court Victory in McDonald v Chicago
ISRA and SAF Supreme Court Victory in McDonald v Chicago
Illinois State Rifle Association
Illinois – -(AmmoLand.com)- Statement of Richard A. Pearson, Executive Director, Illinois State Rifle Association, Regarding U.S. Supreme Court Decision
“On behalf of the officers, directors, and members of the Illinois State Rifle Association, and law-abiding citizens across Illinois, I would like to express my utter delight over the Supreme Court’s decision in the McDonald case. Today is certainly a great day for anyone who believes in the timeless wisdom the founding fathers set as the foundation of our Bill of Rights.
As happy as we are with the Court’s decision in McDonald v. Chicago, we must all keep in mind that our work is not finished. The McDonald decision, along with the Court’s 2008 decision in the D.C. v. Heller case, serve merely as cornerstones to a much larger effort to fully restore the law-abiding citizen’s rights guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution.”
“In the weeks and months ahead, our legal staff will be thoroughly analyzing Illinois gun control statutes along with the myriad of local firearm restrictions to assess their compliance with the McDonald and Heller decisions. Law-abiding Illinois citizens may rest assured that the ISRA will employ whatever political or legal means are necessary to ensure that no element of government persists in infringing upon their constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.”
“In closing, I would like to recognize the tireless efforts of all of those who helped make this day possible. Among those are the named plaintiffs, the Second Amendment Foundation, the National Rifle Association of America, and the many dozens of support elements who contributed greatly to the success of this challenge to the egregious infringement on individual rights.
But, most of all, I would like to recognize the 80 million or so law-abiding American firearm owners whose patience and determination have served as such great inspiration during this 40-year fight to restore honor to, and recognition of, the Second Amendment.”
About:
The ISRA is the state’s leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. Since 1903, the ISRA has represented the interests of over 1.5 million law-abiding Illinois firearm owners Visit: www.isra.org
