FIRE: Court Holds Prosecutor Personally Liable for Unconstitutional Search of Student Who Created a Parody Newsletter

Kevin on why he became a gun nut.

A 29 year-old with the mental faculties of a 2 year old had his toy confiscated by TSA because the idiots thought it was a weapon.

“It just killed me to have to throw it away because he’s been carrying this like for 20 years,” Mandy said.

Sad.

In Fort Worth, a statue is held up because the artists, for historical accuracy, included guns.

I like mine, though it’s the one labeled Brownells. Richard has a review.

It’s not just the Department of Education that employs ninjas. The FDA raided Amish farmers for the heinous crime of making raw milk. The Dallas school district has one too. Don’t be tardy in Dallas. And, not to be left out, the Small Business Association employs tactical tommys, along with the Railroad Retirement Board.

Copy of warrant. Shotguns, police cars and ninjas to go after proof of secondary education and copies of financial aid applications. I weep for this country.

Having solved all of the state’s problems, our legislators pass a law making it illegal to: transmit or display an image” online that is likely to “frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress” to someone who sees it. Violations can get you almost a year in jail time or up to $2500 in fines.

The UN says internet access is a human right. Right to self-defense, nope. Right not to be raped, nope. But free ice cream, yup.

Jennifer asks. My answer is because I can be.

Says restricting a fundamental right is a state’s decision. I don’t know that was his intent and think he may have misspoke. But if that is what he meant, then he is wrong.

Cop To Citizen: “If You Take My Picture Again, I’m Going To Fucking Break Your Face”

My son is a huge fan of the movie Cars. Cars 2 is coming out soon. I guess I’ll have to see it since it has a tribute to John Moses Browning:

DOE says it wasn’t for defaulted student loans. They won’t say what it was for, other than ongoing criminal investigation. Now, what sort of crime could one commit that DOE would be the one investigating? Nothing violent that I can imagine and none that warrant a SWAT team decked out in their best ninja outfits.

David has some insight. To this day, I don’t think we’ve even gotten the same answer twice as to why the raid happened or why they felt the need to get all Ninja on him. First, we was supposedly part of a group of burglars. Now, it’s drug trafficking, with small amounts of drugs found at Gurena’s family members’ houses. Nothing in his house was contraband. He was raided as far as I can tell for having the same last name of a relative and for having guns.

Fiddling while it burns.

This reminds me. I have a business plan. I will start making 99 watt incandescent light bulbs. I need investors. Who’s with me?

A bit back, the Department of Education was looking to get some short barreled shotguns. And we wondered why. Seems it’s so they can conduct SWAT raids to collect student loan payments.

Really? It’s come to this?

Update: Tam: Look me in the eye and defend this.

The trouble is, there is no one to justify it to. This is an out of control bureaucracy that our elected officials have neither the time nor inclination to rein in. Just like all the other bureaucracies.

While their recurring wish list of gun control proposals does contain some scary stuff, the likelihood of the US agreeing to any of it is so small that I’m not that concerned.

Watch out! He’s got a Gadsden flag:

while the individual who is displaying the symbol may not be armed, the presence of the symbol provides an early warning indicator that you MAY be about to encounter an armed individual.
