1- BREAKING NEWS

The Undetectable Firearms Act, 18 USC §922(p), which requires all firearms to be at least as recognizable by a metal detector as 3.7 ounces of specially shaped 17-4 PH stainless steel, was extended for 10 years without incident:

--

H.R. 3626
AN ACT  To extend the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 for 10 years.  
        Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the  United States of America 
        in Congress assembled,  SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF UNDETECTABLE FIREARMS ACT OF 1988 FOR 10 YEARS.  
        Section 2(f)(2) of the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 (18 U.S.C.  922 note) is amended 
        by striking ``25'' and inserting ``35''.
--



        

Perpetually crafty N.Y senator Chuck Schumer waited until the last moment to introduce an amendment to require unremovable metal parts for all firearms, on this "must pass" gun bill.

That could have outlawed any gun that had wood parts, or any removable parts that were not made of metal, depending on who interpreted the statute. Oddly enough, a copy of his amendment has not been retrievable before press time.

Previous amendments, by both House and Senate, had proposed adding undetectable ammo magazines to this statute, but both of those had been removed before passage. I had brought this potentially disastrous situation to public attention, saying a single change to the number "25" was all that was needed, months before the media jumped on it in the final hours.

Before voting for the bill, democrat Sheila Jackson Lee said, "I support this legislation because it will help reduce gun violence and keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of terrorists." Right. Democrat Steve Israel, commenting before voting, said, "I am not going to oppose this first step because we can't get all of our steps. We will step forward and continue to support the modernization of the Undetectable Firearms Act. This for now is a very good step," and he expressed support for Schumer's unremovable metal parts plan. Legislators are, of course, removable.

Several others expressed support for other rights limiting laws, including one, HR1565, called the "Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act." Following standard democrat's procedure, it has nothing to do with rights protection. The "news" media uniformly fails to include bill numbers, making it difficult for the average person to look up the actual bills. Must be because of how much space bill numbers take up.


2- Dangerous Police Overreaction
2- Dangerous Police Overreaction

The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

According to USA Today on 11/5/13: "Law enforcement officials had swarmed around the Northern N.J. mall Monday night after witnesses reported multiple gunshots were fired as stores were preparing to close. http://tinyurl.com/n7qjyea

"'He came to the mall and fired what is at least six rounds at random striking several different locations,' Molinelli said. Panic quickly spread among shoppers and mall employees, he said. There were no injuries reported aside from Shoop [the suspected perp, who killed himself.]

"In all, more than 500 SWAT and law enforcement officials searched the mall while an estimated 400 people remained trapped inside, Molinelli said."

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Even an ignorant civilian like the Uninvited Ombudsman can see that an enemy, intent on causing havoc, can play upon the over-eager geared-up, military-minded, unregulated macho cops who flood into an area, leaving every other nearby place under-protected. It's called lack of a plan and... create a diversion.  If you had to define "overreaction," 500 SWAT and police responders to the sound of gunshots would be perfect. No commanders were held responsible for the poor allocation of forces. The cost to the city was undisclosed.

Lone muslim jihadis intent on causing havoc need only fire a few shots in a mall, in a few cities simultaneously, and Xmas shopping season is over. They know this, we're not revealing secrets here. Police obviously -- obviously -- are so high strung and unprepared, they flock to the sound of anything unusual, and leave every other duty behind. It is unfathomable that command and control allowed 500 armored police (if you can still call them police) flood to the site of one 20-year-old kid with a stolen rifle, who had killed himself by the time they got there.

"When seconds count, the (500) police are just minutes away." What would they do if another mall fell under "attack"? Or two?

USA Today continues: "'The shooter, for whatever reason, instead of staying and fighting, fled deeper into the mall,' said Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg of the Paramus police department [who almost sounds disappointed, and had to tell his officers to gear down and go home]. Police were still conducting a secondary search of the mall, going store to store and escorting the people still hiding within to safety, Ehrenberg said. He expected the search to continue for several hours. Police were still seeking a motive for the shootings, Ehrenberg said."

I'm going somewhere with this: It is time for authorities and rights groups to encourage or even demand discreet carry of firearms by civilians, and to eliminate dangerous and reckless make-believe gun-free zones like the one at the this N.J. mall. No other response will provide the coverage needed to protect the public from this sort of attack. Go ahead, argue with that, all 500 of you SWAT team members who arrived too late to protect the cowering masses, who you escorted to safety in your battle gear.







3- Oral argument in the "Guns Save Lives" censorship case !!
3- Oral argument in the "Guns Save Lives" censorship case !!

Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013, 9:30 a.m., KORWIN v. CITY OF PHOENIX; 1 CA-CV 12-0878

[Backgrounder: We put up "Guns Save Lives" billboards on 50 public bus stops under contract, city of Phoenix tore them down, Goldwater Institute is suing on our behalf, ACLU joined as amicus, it's now going into its 4th year.]

See the ads before they were torn down, and read prior details about the case:
http://www.trainmeaz.com/lower-court-censors-trainmeaz/

Our new ads are now getting 1.8 million views daily on Phoenix streets:

So, how'd it go Alan?

No one really knows.

We find out for sure within a month to a year, maybe longer. The appeals court decides when it wants, there is no time frame for the three-judge panel's opinion (Jones, Norris, Johnsen). This is called "speedy justice." We're going into our fourth year of censorship.


I found it a little overwhelming -- I thought I knew the issues, it seemed they focused elsewhere. Twenty minutes for each side is a lot when the concentration level is that high. The judges had studied the briefs, conferenced on the issues, knew their stuff, questioned both sides hard, pressed the city on its stance that classifying and censoring speech was just fine.

Lawyers for our side, led by Clint Bolick and Christina Sandefur, think we're looking good, they were pleased with how it went, and I was very happy with their work and performance. The Goldwater Institute's Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation has done outstanding work, long dedicated hours, detailed prep throughout the Thanksgiving Day weekend, I am grateful beyond words. Send them a note of thanks: info@goldwaterinstitute.org. You could even donate a few end-of-year dollars. http://www.goldwaterinstitute.org


Anticipation built as the courtroom began filling up for the 9:30 a.m. gavel.
PHOTO BY BOB BLACKMER

Clint opened with three main points (which I've expanded here for clarity):

(1) The City inverted normal free-speech values, placing commercial speech at the top and political speech at the bottom. (The Constitutions at state and federal level make no such distinctions of course, though precedent and tradition do.)

(2) Phoenix took its unconstitutionally vague supposedly objective standards (2009, when our ads went up), turned them into wholly subjective standards in 2011 (while our case was under review), and then applied them arbitrarily (all along, all of which are unconstitutional).

(3) The city's guidelines prohibit eight specific types of ads but do not even mention political speech (which the city claims it can ban at will, for reasons it excuses in its briefs and orally).

For that matter, the standards don't mention public service ads (PSAs), which the city says are prohibited, but are undefined by them, and are posted all over town. They claim our ads are PSAs, but can't say how they determine this, or how we or anyone else should, or why all the rest are OK and ours are not (part of the due process and equal protection 14th Amendment challenges).

The courtroom was full, lots of supporters, plenty of press, ACLU folks, and on that score, the case was a success. The phrase "Gun Save Lives" is all over the national media, frequently inside that juicy red heart -- this is a message the media almost never voices -- so hooray for small victories.

Even "Guns Stop Crime," our second ad, which we got the city to approve and is now up, got a lot of play. In a show of flexible values, censorship trumped the media's avowed distaste for the right to arms, and covered the story with full vigor, using a phrase they routinely quash. Look here:

FOX-TV interview makes us look good:
http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/story/24116762/2013/12/02/city-officials-take-down-controversial-guns-save-lives-ads

The New York Times interview was fair with a low error rate and a photo:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/04/us/case-over-gun-safety-ads-fosters-unlikely-alliance.html?hpw&rref=politics&_r=1&

The Capitol Times did the most accurate, detailed review of the case, my impression of reporter Howie Fischer went up two notches and I learned about my own case here:
http://eastvalleytribune.com/arizona/capitol_media_services/article_469ffbf6-5c4f-11e3-a298-001a4bcf887a.html

USA Today ran a favorable piece, reproduced the ad (yes!), gave the ACLU good space:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/02/bus-stop-gun-ad-back-in-court/3804349/

Even small outfits like The Washington (D.C.) Free Beacon covered it, with links to the briefs and pictures of the ad, the city's proposed rewrite of our ad and more:
http://freebeacon.com/gun-ad-censorship-case-heard-by-appeals-court/

There is an audio recording of the arguments here:
http://azcourts.gov/coa1/OralArguments.aspx



I never expected any of this when I set out to see the entire state of Arizona trained to arms, following our passage of Constitutional Carry. Building a coalition within the firearms industry, to spread real firearms safety to the state just made sense on so many levels.

The city's main argument against this shows the true colors of this case. They want to ban political speech from the public eye, on city property. Too controversial they say. A public bus stop is a non-public forum. That's the heart of their argument. Go read what we said that they want to ban: http://www.trainmeaz.com (it's the text on the home page). They read part of it in court:

"...The Arizona legislature has enacted vibrant protection of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We in Arizona seem destined to set models for the nation -- in this case, a shining example of gun rights for all free peoples of the Earth. The Grand Canyon State has Constitutional Carry. This frees any law-abiding adult in the state -- not just residents -- to discreetly enjoy the right to bear arms envisioned in the Constitution..."

This is designed to educate and motivate people to get training. The city says it shouldn't be 'burdened' with this sort of thing. They admitted in the hearing -- they do not object to the heart and the "Guns Save Lives" part. Good. We'll use it again.

In advertising, you have features and benefits. All they want to allow (they say now) is a "commercial proposal." That's a bright line -- you offer something that someone pays for, that's a commercial proposal. They have ads all over with none of that (free pregnancy test, free veterans counseling, Jesus heals). Our says Guns Save Lives, Educate Your Kids, and you pay for the training and range time at TrainMeAZ.com. We qualify. Parents come along with the kids, and do the paying. It's clever. It's an ad. The red Guns Save Lives heart is the headline that attracts your attention to the ad. Their inconsistency is part of our 14th Amendment equal-protection challenge.



The idea that I can't build a case for taking training by pointing out that our own legislature has enacted supportive laws for our product (real gun safety), and that our nation is built upon our product (firearms), and that our product makes sense (marksmanship) -- that's offensive, that's outrageous, that must end, in my opinion. What will the court think. We wait to see.

They city, and no government, should be in charge of what we say or how we say it. Whether it is constitutionally protected political speech, lawful commerce between the states (doesn't firearm training affect interstate commerce?), or anything else we have a mind to say, our right to say it must stand above the city's petty word mongers.


Illuminated at night, the signs are impossible to miss, the message is getting out.


We are on high-traffic streets, this one is a main feeder to town from the highway.


Heading downtown on 7th street into Phoenix.

The legal minds see the case coming down to whether the city has legitimate power (sometimes absurdly expressed as "a right" but it's really about legitimate delegated power) to control the words people can use. They want to restrict you to commercial speech, and ban political speech. They have their reasons, and argue for them.

Then they sit in judgment and pronounce the words we used as political and subject to censorship. That's not their job, and they have no power to do that, not in my book. I say all the words used are designed to convince the reader to buy the product -- firearms safety training. We build the case, convince, urge, argue, do everything to compel the reader that it make sense and you should buy. This is about business -- who are they to call the sales copy a political "diatribe" (they did).

In the meanwhile, trainers are signing up to offer their services at TrainMeAZ.com, and we encourage you to do so if you are in Arizona. It's free, supported by our sponsors:



Someone's got to say it.
Gun save lives.
Guns stop crime.
Guns protect you.
Guns are why America is still free.

The "news" media and edutainment camps certainly aren't getting the message out.
Because The N.Y. Times carried the story, their readers saw this phrase,
which for some of them may have been their first time ever.




4-  Newtown Tragedy Being Staged for Anti-Rights Assault
4-  Newtown Tragedy Being Staged for Anti-Rights Assault

The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

Virtually nothing. But lamestream stories of massacres as old as the Long Island railroad madman shooting in the 1990s that launched a political career have been flooding the public, with anti-rights screeds, in preparation for the Dec. 14 momentum aimed at enacting anti-rights legislation the nation has been steadfastly unwilling to pass.


The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Nationwide events coordinated through the White House, using funding from billionaire NY mayor Michael Bloomberg, planned to recognize the calamity surrounding the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., have been kept out of the news. The thinly veiled anti-rights events will be staged as "remembrances" of the Sandy Hook psychotic massacres. Normal remembrances are typically somber low-key reflections kept out of the limelight, that do not attract and exploit "news" coverage. Some of these will be dramatically different.

Newtown itself reportedly has decided to exclude news crews on Dec. 14.
Good for them. Our hearts and condolences go out to them.

Calls for guarding and protecting schools, which could help protect children, are largely falling on deaf ears. Increased scrutiny of mentally unfit people walking the streets, are rejected by some of the very people who are instead seeking to attack Second Amendment rights. Some misguided activists will work both openly and covertly to weaken or destroy the rights of Americans who had no part in the atrocities committed one year ago, against helpless victims in a make-believe gun-free zone perpetrated by teachers, "officials," anti-rights politicians and the Obama administration.

"Politico reported Monday that weekly sessions on gun control have been held between the White House Office of Public Engagement and representatives from Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Moms Demand Action, the Center for American Progress, Organizing for Action and Americans for Responsible Solutions." (From my files, October)  If they are compromising the Second Amendment they violate their oath and should be removed. This may seem quaint but it matters.

Both pro-rights and anti-rights groups have announced intentions to use the anniversary, Dec. 14, and the next day, dubbed Guns Save Lives Day, to press for action on gun rights in America. Efforts to restrict Americans' right to arms, using the actions of psychopaths as a motivation, have thus far failed. News stories have been appearing for weeks listing various atrocities, committed by uncontrolled deranged individuals in pretend gun-free cities like Chicago and Washington D.C.

5- Iran to Continue Developing A-Bomb with Restored Funding

The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

And you heard it with your own ears, saw it with your own eyes, last year, at the final Presidential debate in Boca Raton, Mr. Obama repeated three times that the aim of his diplomatic overtures to the terror-sponsoring islamist Tehran regime was to "end Iran's nuclear program."


Now, however, the lamestream media told you:
Now, however, the lamestream media told you:

"Secretary of State Kerry provides relief;
Mr. Obama presses forward with plan"

Washington Post wakes up: "More than two weeks after a landmark deal with Iran, House Republicans and Democrats called the Obama administration’s approach to nuclear negotiations naive and signaled that they will slap more sanctions on the country despite warnings that doing so would torpedo the United States’ best chance in years at rapprochement."
http://tinyurl.com/kfrb6bq



The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Obama's negotiators have offered and closed a deal with Iran to provide relief from punishing trade sanctions in exchange for virtually no concessions that allow the terrorists running the jihad-sponsoring nation to continue running their uranium-enriching centrifuges, and produce the precursors for nuclear bombs they say they don't want to make. They have more than 10,000 centrifuges enriching uranium 24 hours a day (up from 1,200 when negotiations began).


Iran will allow inspections at two of its nuclear development sites as part of the deal.
It has at least 12 sites. This is one of them. You can find them all on the web like I did.

In other words, they proceed toward bomb making in exchange for getting billions of dollars. Say what? It is no deal at all. Why would the Christian president of America do that for islamist terrorists running Iran? Israel's Prime Minister has already warned us, "Today the world has become a much more dangerous place." Israel's Economics Minister, Naftali Bennett, said: “If a nuclear suitcase blows up five years from now in New York or Madrid it will be because of the deal signed this morning.” Read that quote again.


Iran will allow inspections at two of its nuclear development sites as part of the deal.
It has at least 12 sites. This is one of them. You can find them all on the web like I did.

Hundreds of cheering supporters greeted Iran's negotiators as they arrived back in Tehran on Sunday, after reaching an interim nuclear agreement with the US, Russia, China, France, the UK, and Germany. Carrying flowers and Iranian flags at Tehran's airport, they hailed Iran's foreign minister as an "ambassador of peace."

According to the BBC, Iran will give greater access to inspectors, including daily access at the Natanz and Fordo nuclear sites. There will be no further development of the Arak plant, Iran says, which it is believed could produce plutonium, and is not included in the inspections. Iran has at least 12 nuclear development sites, so they must think we are complete idiots, which is a fair assessment. The BBC did a good job of outlining what our government did for Iran, in concert with our "allies":

Secretary Kerry could not be reached for comment. Could not be reached for comment.
