Black robed scoundrels allow bans on high capacity gun mags

Excerpt:

The actions of citizens and the courts in these matters raise yet again the issue of whether or not a "majority vote" can negate the rights and liberties protected by the Constitution. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution by the Framers precisely in order to protect certain enumerated rights from a majority vote of citizens or an intrusion of the courts or any other government entity that would encroach upon those rights.

Sorry, but no candy

As I noted yesterday the Connecticut story has consumed me all week long, so much so that I did not have time to do the Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup. I had thought maybe I could get to it today. But no.

Sorry, folks, but no candy this week.

Next week we will get back on schedule. Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Prayers needed

Friend and colleague David Codrea has been very sick this week, and, although he is some improved today, he still needs our prayers.

As the National Gun Rights Examiner and the guru behind The War on Guns blog, David is and has been a valuable person in the fight for gun rights and our liberties in general. He is not a "single issue" gun owner as so many seem to be. He is a staunch defender of ALL of our Constitutionally protected liberties, which go hand in hand with gun rights.

And that is what I like about David, not to mention that he has been a friend and encouragement to me personally.

Pray that he gets well soon and has a complete recovery.

The same goes for Mike Vanderboegh as well.

Well, alrighty, then

This week I have been consumed with the story about what turned out to be the Connecticut hoax, the supposed police officers' association that sent out a letter with 250 signatures condemning the new restrictive gun control laws.

I decided I would stay with the story until the bitter end, when the full truth would be discovered, for good or ill.

In this case I had to issue some retractions. Fair enough. All reporters and even the most reputable news organizations at times must issue corrections and retractions. That's part of the deal.

But the time and effort that went into this, since I am a one man operation, was extensive and quite taxing. That's the reason there has been no Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup this week. Maybe tomorrow if things stay calm.

But, to be honest, I am still closely monitoring developments in Connecticut. If there is to be open conflict between citizens and law enforcement, Connecticut is the place to watch. It is ground zero in the fight for gun rights.

Despite the retractions and hoaxes, there is still the blatant, plain truth that gun owners in Connecticut, along with police officers who support them, are set and ready to defend their Second Amendment rights against the state government leviathans who are determined to deprive citizens of the Constitution protections of those rights.

Like a bulldog, I am determined to follow THAT story, which is 100 percent true, to its bitter end, for good or ill. I hope the rights of the people are the winners this time.

The real story behind the story of Conn. 'peace officer' hoax


This is where we stand after five days of intrigue and frenzy created by a person claiming to be Tyson F. Jackson, who claimed that a "Connecticut Peace Officers' Association" had written an open letter containing the signatures of 250 police officers who promised not to enforce Connecticut's new draconian gun and magazine control laws.

Well, folks, here we are back with the apologies. The article above issues corrections and retractions while at the same time honoring nuggets of truth within the story. It turns out I was duped along with some others. Sheesh. I hate it, hate it, hate it when that happens. So very embarrassing. I take truth very seriously and don't want to be part of propagating something that isn't factual.

So, what do I do? Maybe I should seek out a cave somewhere in the wilderness and hang out in there for a day or two. Egg all over my face, anyway, so I won't need food.

The 'stealth war' at work in Connecticut

Excerpt:
Thus, if such officers intend to refuse to enforce the new laws, they would not announce it or go public with their intentions for the fear of being fired on the spot. Yet we know for a fact that such officers are there.

Liberty and patriot groups have long noted what is being called "the Stealth War" against oppressive government and its penchant for violating clear provisions of the Constitution.

Disregard the previous post

OK, folks, this story apparently has taken on a life of its own. No sooner had David Hardy stated that the Connecticut story was a hoax and I had written several apologies, Tyler Jackson posted his article, as promised at ezinearticles.com, just as he said he would.

Thus, I did a second update on my article at Examiner.

Jackson did a phone interview with the Chair of the Connecticut Peace Officers' Association, who confirmed the open letter containing 250 signatures.

So, I take it all back. The story is true, according to Jackson.

Of course, who knows if there will be more info as time progresses that will necessitate a retraction. We shall see.

I hate it when that happens...

NOTE! It turns out that most of the info in my original article is, indeed, true. So, disregard the words below. There is a second update on my article at Examiner, indicating that new info vindicates, at the very least in part, the claims of Tyler Jackson about the LEOs in Conn.  

Embarrassing. Just simply embarrassing.

That's the only emotional reaction I'm feeling this evening due to being informed that the person who fed info to David Hardy concerning an open letter from LEOs in Conn. who refuse to enforce the new gun laws now says the info about the letter was untrue, or at least he would not say one way or the other.

Thus, there is no open letter and no signatures. But the story has already been reported far and wide that there is such a letter. The fact that I had to go back and add an update to the top of my Examiner article stating that the original statement about the open letter is false, is a highly embarrassing turn of events.

But, the deed had to be done in order to salvage what little credibility I have left.

I do not blame David Hardy for the bogus information. He has always been trustworthy. He simply got duped by a bad source that he trusted. It's happened at one time or another to all of us, but it never gets easier to go before the public to admit such a thing.

I still insist that the essence of the article is correct. I know for a fact that a significant number of LEOs in Conn. have no intention of enforcing these unconstitutional gun control laws. It's just that there is no open letter from them containing their signatures.

Anyway, I apologize for those who trusted my Examiner story without question, and trusted me enough with the facts to send the article to everyone they know. I can only say I will work much harder to verify every jot and tittle of info I receive, even from trusted sources. I hate that we have reached this stage in America, but so much disinformation is out there that it has become necessary.

Noted author calls situation in Conn. 'terrifying'

A noted author who has written numerous in-depth reports on political issues in publications such as Townhall, American Spectator, and Accuracy in Media has issued a dire assessment of the developments in Connecticut on the subject of gun rights. She says the situation is "terrifying."
