602-315-1737STARTERS Communists ("Russians") Applying Social Media Against Free World Testimony before Congress has confirmed (Jan. 31,
2018) that communists (now always called "Russians" by mass media and
elected officials, so as not to scare the public) are using every social
media platform, and sophisticated techniques, to flood the United States
and the rest of the world with propaganda and influence-peddling
messages. Hundreds of millions of messages are pretending to
be legit tweets, Facebook posts, YouTube videos, even newscasts, and many
are getting through before the overrun providers can identify them and
suppress them. One provider claimed they have gone from a 30% catch rate to
90%, but no proof was given, and constant new schemes elude them, they
said. Twitter announced publicly that terrorist group
Boko Haram is not even allowed on their site, but it doesn't stop them,
their followers, their messages, or their allies from penetrating the
blockade, at least for a while, using clever strategies. The same is true
for all the other sites. Our communist enemies ("Russia") use automated
bots, artificial intelligence, massive postings, human postings,
infiltration techniques, and tools that would not be disclosed publicly to
influence elections here -- and worldwide. One tactic is to foment "union
breaking" -- as in disruption of national state unity -- in Ireland,
Catalonia (Spain), the United States and elsewhere. Recruitment and
incitement to violence are routine. Efforts
to convince the public that we defeated communism are so bogus words cannot
describe it. Next time you hear the word "Russia," ask yourself what sort
of political system the "multi-party" dictatorship has. You can look it up
and sift the conflicting details, bottom line, the president rules, and
they remain a dedicated enemy of us. |||| Left is Steeling the Gun Debate Using
words incorrectly is actually a powerful tool. You noticed the headline, it's to attract
attemption, not a typo. By using
language in a sneaky way, the left, which includes mass media, is scoring
points and hurting gun rights. They no longer call killing murder, it's now
only shooting, which just happens to describe what all gun owners properly
do routinely. Speaking casually about the future, "gun owners
are just going to have to accept bans on..." (name a gun or gun type),"
according to a writing technique and a professor somewhere, picked up by a
media lapdog. Nonsense. Says who? In sales theory we'd call this the
"presumptive future close." You
response: "Infringement is illegal." A new Model Law, circulated
though not yet enacted, defines it: "Infringement is making any
legal gun illegal, which is just common sense." Acting to take a legal gun
which has been infringed is aggravated infringement, a
crime. |||| ACLU Backs Lyft's Plan to Avoid Background Checks ACLU expressed gratitude for a $1 million donation
from the co-founders of Lyft, the ride-share service. The money came in
reference to president Trump's efforts to control dangerous
terrorism-hotbed immigration into the United States. ACLU's glossy national
magazine STAND for Passionate Guardians of Individual Rights and
Liberties pointed out one of Lyft's issues, that background checks are
flawed and unreliable. Speaking of Lyft policy, "The company consistently
advocates for fair hiring practices regarding background checks."
Apparently, "traditional processes often create inequitable practices that
block it from hiring potentially great talent." Joseph
Okpaku, the VP of government affairs for Lyft said, "We quickly uncovered
an institutional bias in favor of background checks that both rely on
fingerprints and also look indefinitely into an applicant's past. We've
taken a stand against reliance on fingerprint-based checks that have
repeatedly proven to be biased and inaccurate." This is
actually quite a stunning revelation. Fingerprint-based background checks are, "proven
to be biased and inaccurate." So far,
dumping background checks because they're that bad hasn't made it into the
national eye. The ACLU was bold to publish this in their magazine. Will
they stand up for this when it comes to the Bill of Rights? Or just for a
million-dollar donor having trouble hiring "great talent," which
essentially means cab drivers, with criminal records in their
past. ||||  Now Available! I put more of myself, my wit, my insight, my

AMERICA'S GODLY HERITAGE Our gun rights and American exceptionalism are grounded in religious principles. All the messages you get daily to the contrary are basically lies, distortion and revisionism, and this book proves it. Our Founding Fathers said so in no uncertain terms, this inexpensive little item makes it crystal clear. David Barton has done it again -- wall-to-wall quotes and excerpts destroy secular myths about church and state -- the author makes the case, by quoting the Founders, that faith in God is crucial to moral and just life, liberty and happiness.
GUN SAINT by John Michael Snyder, ONLY $6.95! The Catholic Church recognizes patron saints over many human activities. Why not a patron saint of handgunners, asks this devoutly religious and long-time gun-rights lobbyist. A stunning conception, beautifully supported. His candidate is St. Gabriel Possenti, who rescued villagers in Italy from a marauding band of thugs in 1860, by picking off a lizard with a single shot, terrifying the gang and causing them to flee. Possenti was canonized in Rome in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV, and author Snyder says it would be appropriate to make him a patron saint. Includes a remarkably clear description of the church process for such activities, so church members can pursue this goal. :::-—-::: 1- BIGGEST DRUG RAID IN HISTORY Fool me 15 times, man, this is getting boring Coast Guard Announces Biggest Maritime Seizure in History The lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you: A Coast Guard crew seized more than 13 tons of cocaine in what authorities called, "the largest cocaine seizure in maritime history," according to a report in Newsweek in 2017, citing a story from 2001. It was part of an article by Cato Institute EVP David Boaz, pointing out the folly of the failed drug war. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: This is not an article about the drug war -- which you may love, hate, support or want dead. This is a report about the so-called "news" you're getting. Not fake news -- stuff that's invented and false, made up by miscreants or our commie enemies (falsely called Russians to misplace blame). This is about phony news
-- what I've been writing about since 2006, https://www.gunlaws.com/PageNineIndex.htm
-- what journalists use to deliberately mislead you and frame public debate
to their twisted agenda. Trump talks about fake news, a
real problem, yes. When he's attacked for saying the media is an enemy of
America, he's also right, but phony news is the bigger
problem. With AG
Jeff Sessions on camera, the Coast Guard recently announced a new record
for cocaine seizures at sea, 455,000 pounds, topping last year's record!
Hooray for our side! The Coast Guard announced, in 2015, the biggest
submarine drug bust, $181 million in cocaine! (No way to compare dollars to
pounds, but reporters don't notice, or care.) Boaz goes on to cite the
biggest drug bust ever in Brooklyn! Utah! New York! Outside of Florida! $20
million! $73 million! $2 billion! $4 billion! Looks like we're winning at
last! But of course, we're losing miserably. Phony news
stories (not fake ones) hide that fact. Is it collusion, conspiracy,
incompetence, part of the plan? Will reporters report on that? Fact: They
don't. For every bust, many other shipments get through. How do we know?
You can buy cocaine all over America, 24 hours a day, at low low sale
prices. Some reporters, especially in Hollywood, enjoy the stuff. The farms
keep growing, and like bananas, shipments of farm fresh produce keep
arriving. A solitary shipment sometimes makes the "news." This has
been a drug report. Gun reports are the same. Same reporters, editors,
producers, competence. Now you know it. They don't, even after reading Page
Nine. ||||

aren't "Colored
children" Simple word play convinces racists they aren't racist Nation's main purveyors of racism fooling everyone The lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you: "Fostering a lack of diversity" "Kids in Arizona's care are mostly children of
color, but those charged with treating them are overwhelmingly white.
Experts have long recognized inequalities in America's child welfare
system: When kids share identical circumstances except for race, black and
Native American children enter foster care more often, spend more time in
the system and wait longer to be adopted..."

that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Charges of racism, and stories about diversity, affirmative action, "people of color," and all the rest of the bean-counting racism afflicting our nation come from one side only -- the democrats, leftists, progressives, and radical proponents of so-called equality, where no one is equal, equality must be enforced, merit is not a fair gauge and individual virtue is frowned upon. In a recent cover story on Gannett's number two
paper, The Arizona Republic, a lack of colored people, called people
of color, in child-welfare management, is highlighted as a problem for
children in the system, who are disproportionately colored children, called
children of color. The article points out that 90% of review board members
in the state's largest county are white, 100% white in six other counties,
and fails to mention percentages in the state's remaining five counties,
for reasons that were unclear at press time.
https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-investigations/2017/11/12/arizonas-foster-care-boards-dont-look-like-their-communities-heres-why-matters/526586001/ Also missing is the fact that 72% of black
children are born out of wedlock, contributing to imbalances, crime,
developmental problems and the child welfare mess. Why more colored people,
now called people of color to distort the narrative, don't step up to help
fix the mess that out-of-wedlock births create, is not discussed in the
lengthy cover story. The National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People was not quoted in the story. There is no National
Association for the Advancement of People of
Color. Chances that this article here will be called
racist for using non-mass-media-approved terminology are substantial. The
reply, "What do you mean when you say 'racist' and what does 'racism' mean
to you' is typically met with blank stares, confusion, and a variety of
answers that don't match,
when there are
any. Online definitions, with common threads, do no
seem to apply to the terms "colored people" and "people of color,"
suggesting the terms are mere propaganda and thought control related to
political correctness, and not racism,
e.g.: "racism, n., the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races." The makeup of professional sports teams does not count. racism, n. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others... NPR: The
Ugly, Fascinating History of the Word "Racism": The Oxford English
Dictionary's first recorded utterance of the word racism was
by a man named Richard Henry Pratt in 1902... Someone is
either a racist and therefore an inhuman monster, or they're an actual,
complex human being, and therefore, by definition, incapable of
being a racist... Merriam Webster gives the date of entry into the language
as 1936. The idea that race, ethnicity, nationality, genetics, gender or
even culture and upbringing have no effect on human traits and that all
people are perfectly equal doesn't appear to have a name, though it is
perfectly clear that all people are not equal. This is commonly confused
with the egalitarian idea that all people are justly entitled to equal
treatment under the law. It's complicated. Uncomplicated people, often
found gathering in the democrat's party, have a hard time with some of
these concepts. ||||

correct Fake news, n. An article in "news" media that is fabricated, made up, has no bearing on reality, created by agenda-driven partisans with specific goals, who are served by fake stories they invent. Phony news, n. An
article in "news" media from one or more reporters, which appears to be
newsworthy but is actually propaganda and spin disguised as news, designed
to establish or continue a narrative that seems neutral but actually embeds
a prejudice and represents a predetermined perspective or
outcome. Reporters adamantly
reject the definition of phony news because, according to critics,
they cannot see the truth it contains. In contrast, fake news is a
problem everyone recognizes as a
problem. Phony news
has dominated so-called "mainstream" reporting for decades, going back to
at least when three networks dominated nightly TV newscasts, which many
people can now recognize with the passage of time. The relatively new
phenomenon of fake news, identified loudly by the present
administration, has been a tool of both the radical left and radical right
to influence political affairs. Phony news is the more insidious, since it
is more difficult to spot and is more influential. Phony news slips into
the mind through unconscious channels. As an example,
congressional Senate hopeful Sheriff Joe Arpaio was recently cast, in the
lead of a front page article in Gannett's Arizona Republic, as "a
hardliner on immigration." This is phony, and knowingly so. He never took
much of any stand on U.S. Code Title 8, Immigration, and its lists of who
is eligible to immigrate, or why, or who is banned, with extensive lists of
people banned from the U.S., This includes money launderers, slave traders,
people with communicable diseases, convicted felons, known spies, child
molesters and many more, page after page. Sheriff Arpaio was a hardliner on
illegal immigration, sneaking past border security, a completely
different issue. This phony spin
permeated the balance of the article -- and virtually all news coverage
about the man -- establishing a phony narrative that fit a left-wing agenda
to denounce his policies, with vitriol spewed incessantly by the left.
While it may be true he overstepped legal authority, there is tremendous
merit in having borders, ports of entry, passports, a visa system, and
criminal sanctions for sneaking into any country unannounced, staying
without authorization, using the nation's resources, and living criminally
without citizenship "under the radar." This is where Arpaio took a hard
line, popular is some quarters, less so in others -- including a blatantly
prejudicial media (they deny this bias to this
day). Similar phony
coverage dominates the gun issue, for example. Virtually every
firearms-related story takes the tack that guns are bad. This is not fake,
it's phony. Almost all firearms stories cover nothing but crime, yet
firearms comprise the number two participant sport in America (based on
sales, ahead of golf, number three, an elitist predominantly rich white
pursuit that gets exemplary front page coverage a lot). Firearms are a huge
sector of the economy, the trade show for firearms is one of the largest in
the nation yet it gets zero play -- and the industry is thankful for this
because it knows what the spin would be. Phony from top to
bottom. Fake news is not
the big problem, despite that focus in "news" reports. Phony news distorts
your thinking, puts emphasis in the wrong places, imbalances the real
issues, and the worst part is this: reporters, producers and editors are
immune to this message. They can't see it, deny it is real when told,
insist fake news is why they have lost credibility, and persist in foisting
phony news with no awareness of what they
do. This Uninvited
Ombudsman Report, "Page Nine," the page most newspapers refuse to carry
(ombudsmen have been fired nationally), has been illuminating phony news
since May, 2006, https://www.gunlaws.com/PageNineIndex.htm,
long before Mr. Trump introduced the term fake news, co-opting my hard
work. He's not wrong, it just sidesteps the larger problem. Go read some of
the phony news exposes at that link, and don't plan on getting much sleep
that night. :::-—-::: OUTSTANDING  THE CORNERED CAT: A Woman's Guide to Concealed Carry

They
celebrated their 40th consecutive year this year, with exhibits stretching
for 12.5 miles of aisles. You could see every booth if you spent 22 seconds
at each. It defies description, and you can only see it if you're actually
in the business, it's not a public show like the NRA Show. It also
differs with 2,500 members of the trade press (like me) and
extensive sections for law enforcement and international pavilions. I can
save time and skip miles of outdoor clothing, wish I had more time for
miles of gun manufacturing gear, and can't get enough fab coffee in the
palatial press office with non-stop contacts and info. Let me clue you in
with some bullet points. -- HB 38, the national carry bill Learned: though it made it through the House, got
a lot of attention, but may not be the bill that moves. When (if?) the
Senate moves its version of a reciprocity bill (S 446), it's the better
bill (one page vs. almost nine). It's clean (without some fix NICS problems
and the federalized gun-free zones I wrote about last time,
https://www.gunlaws.com/PageNineIndex.htm. -- Gun Confiscations Almost everyone who was asked about what they
would do if a Virgin Islands scenario played out here, and armed agents
came to your door to confiscate your guns, people said they would lie,
insist they were stolen, or they sold the guns, give up a few and keep the
rest, hide them real well, dig a hole, leave ahead of time with them, deny
ownership, pretend to be out, deny entry (with no thought of how), demand
to see a warrant; basically, no resistance offered. -- See the SHOT Show I considered doing a slide show and commentary as

armor, it's an eye opener. -- Negligent Entrustment SHOT includes an extensive set of seminars, and no
way to attend them all and get anything else done. I attended this one,
intrigued by the title, and without going to deeply into an hour of legal
thought, FFLs (dealers, not the public) have a duty under the Protection of
Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to be careful about giving or selling a
firearm to someone who, despite background checks, apparently shouldn't
have one. How do you tell? It's a little gray. Obvious drunks. People who
seem suicidal (that was a fascinating exploration). Straw purchasers
(amazing how blatant or stupid some of them are, we heard stories). Yes,
there's much more to it, this is why you attend. How many people will have
even read this far?  -- United State Concealed Carry
Association This educational
outfit is a continually growing force in the industry, had a presence and
banners that couldn't be missed, they were splashed all across the main
floor, right next to radio row and the primary escalators between the two
main show floors. I've got to tell you, it's an honor to write a column for
their Concealed Carry Magazine, and to enjoy the company of the
staff members I've gotten to know. |||| 
How about a nice shoot 'em up where our side wins... In a world flipped upside down by liberals and political correctness, all three branches of federal government assert unknown levels of coercive power until fed up Americans rise up to take back their country. More than a tale of oppression and rebellion, it examines how America strayed from its roots, with intriguing, colorful characters who grapple with the social, political and legal issues at the heart of America’s difficulties. Raw, provocative, not for the faint of heart.
:::-—-::: 5- I'm From the Government and I'm... Here to Kill
You Dave Hardy's
new book takes your breath away. While you're
still breathing.  This book makes your blood run cold. In the dictionary next to
"chilling" they should have a picture of it. Between
negligence, fatal disasters, deliberate malfeasance, lack of
accountability, secret operations, standard procedures that have no place
in a system like the one we think we have, tanks, grenades, this is a wake
up call -- or a way to prevent sleep. And they get away with
it. Maybe you know about atomic testing to see what
effects radiation will have, or giving people syphilis in labs that imitate
German bunker operations, but what about illegal lethal orders, Veterans
Affairs officials causing death... can anything be done about it all? Read
Dave's new book. I'm From the Government and I'm Here to Kill

time. |||| WHY
EVERYONE MUST LEARN TO SHOOT!
Why Jews
Must Learn To Shoot! Gran'pa Jack #9 So politically incorrect it could catch fire, the
reasons everyone
should learn how to shoot, with all the villains who want to kill you
and destroy America named. We wake up anyone who doesn't realize the
schools are keeping our kids ignorant, religious leaders are practically
worse, and politicians who should help get you trained instead are
seeking to disarm us. Blacks, Arabs, drug lords, The U.N., muslims,
muggers, thieves, bad cops, we spare no one in a quest to motivate the
naive to action. A thrilling teaching tool, get a few, enjoy it, and
pass them around. You owe it to your family and friends to spread the
word -- encourage learn to shoot! Get a dozen for $20 bucks and really do some good
with them.
