72 killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston | Big O DFW. Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Paramilitary extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.

Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. Sandy Hoax Surprise. Clerk Who Fired Warning Shot May Face Charges.

Radley Balko: “Once a town gets a SWAT team you want to use it” Radley Balko’s new book, “Rise of the Warrior Cop,” details how America’s police forces have grown to look and behave more like soldiers than neighborly Officer Krupkes walking the beat. This new breed of police, frequently equipped with military weapons and decked out in enough armor to satisfy a storm trooper, are redefining law enforcement. How did this happen? For decades, the war on drugs has empowered police to act aggressively. More recently, 9/11 and school shootings enforced the notion that there’s no such thing as too much security. Since 9/11, the newly formed Department of Homeland Security has distributed billions in grants, enabling even some small town police departments to buy armored personnel carriers and field their own SWAT teams.

Once you have a SWAT team the only thing to do is kick some ass. There are more than 100 SWAT team raids every day in this country. This problem defies the usual conservative vs. liberal calculus. There are several levels of militarization. Anti-Gun State Senator Being Ousted By 16,000 Colorado Citizens. The anti-gun Senate President of the Colorado legislature, Democrat John Morse, is facing a recall effort that has already garnered 16 thousand signatures. Morse was an enthusiastic backer of all the anti-gun bills that coursed through Colorado’s benighted legislature in those post Sandy Hook months when various left-wingers were trying to gut the Second Amendment all across the nation. Morse was responsible for helping to shepherd through some of the strictest gun control legislation in the country. Opponents of Morse report that they have turned in twice the number of recall signatures that they need to start the process to throw Morse out of the Senate.

Of the recall effort, Bill Adaska, a retired engineer from Denver who volunteered to gather recall signatures, said, “This shot will be heard around the world. This is the race, right here, that’s going to show Washington and Chicago that when you come after our guns, we’re going to take you out. Biometric Trigger Lock – The Next Generation In Gun Safety. The biometric trigger lock is one excellent option for gun owners worried about gun safety. Gun safety is an important topic and is even more essential in homes that contain children.

Senators Caught on Tape: "Confiscate, Confiscate, Confiscate"

Second Amendment rights advocates are fuming today over words from three Democratic state senators caught on tape after Thursday's hearing on the upper chamber's gun control package. The three female senators, who sound from the recording to be Sen. Loretta Weinberg, Sen. Sandy Cunningham and Sen. Linda Greenstein, are heard discussing the just-closed hearing. “We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate," said an unknown voice.

Weinberg said she had no idea who said confiscate or in what context, or if it was even a lawmaker. Next up was Cunningham: “They don’t care about the bad guys. Then Greenstein: “That’s the line they’ve developed.” Scott Bach, executive director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, said the comments are indicative of an extremist mentality.

"We're outraged by this," Bach said. Reached Friday, Weinberg took issue with the gun advocates and the release of the hot mic recording. Rand Paul: Obama is working with ‘anti-American globalists plot[ting] against our Constitution.’ The New York Times calls Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) one of the Republican Party's "rising stars. " The Daily Beast says he's "a smoother, more pragmatic political operator" than his father, former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex.). All that seems true. So riddle me this: What's the upside for Paul to put his name on e-mails like this one, which landed in my inbox this morning? It's one thing for no-name pols to work on the fringes. But Paul, at this point, has a lot to lose. Yet here he is, suggesting the current president of the United States is working with "anti-American globalists plot[ting] against our Constitution.

" Here's the whole e-mail. Dear fellow Patriot,Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.You see, only hours after re-election, Barack Obama immediately made a move for gun control...On November 7th, his administration gleefully voted at the UN for a renewed effort to pass the "Small Arms Treaty. " Liar in Chief. US President Barack Obama speaks on gun control as former US representative Gabby Giffords (L) watches on April 17, 2013 in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, DC.( Credit: AFP/Getty Images) President Barack Obama stood outside the White House last week and lamented the defeat of the expanded background check bill in the Senate.

He stood there, repeating over and over how 90 percent of all Americans wanted such a law and how it wouldn’t have infringed on the rights of a single American. He called the pro-gun lobby liars for calling it registration. Mr. Obama can say that the bill outlawed a registry, but to what effect? You see, when a paper trail is put in place for every gun purchase, or even a huge majority of them, you have created a de facto registry. President Obama argues that if 90 percent of Americans support expanded background checks, it should go through.

Mr. President Barack Obama knows this. However, things work both ways, and the White House knows this. Mr. Pelosi: Tougher gun controls 'inevitable' - The Hill. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday said passage of tougher gun controls is "inevitable," projecting optimism less than 24 hours after the Senate voted down legislation central to President Obama's strategy to reduce gun violence. "It's a matter of time," Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. "It might be inconceivable to the NRA that this might happen; it's inevitable to us. " Pelosi did not put a timeline on her prediction but suggested public outrage over the failed Senate effort will eventually force the opponents of tougher gun laws to reconsider. "Something must be done, because that's what the American people expect and what they deserve," she said.

"We're just not taking no for an answer. " Pelosi has a tough road ahead. Pressured by the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Senate on Wednesday defeated a series of bipartisan bills designed to prevent gun violence, including a measure sponsored by Sens. In the lower chamber, Reps. Reid shelves expanded gun-purchase background check legislation. Senate Democrats shelved their gun control bill Thursday, saying that despite passionate pleas from families whose children died in December’s Connecticut rampage, they cannot muster enough votes to pass any of the major new restrictions they had hoped for.

Instead, advocates said they will step up their public campaign to try to sway opponents in the short term, with an eye to reviving the bill later this year, and also will take a look at campaigning against gun-rights supporters at the ballot box next year. SEE ALSO: Obama angrily denounces gun-rights groups as willful liars Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he made the decision to “hit pause” after talking with President Obama. “This will allow senators to keep negotiating,” said Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, who vowed, “We’re going to come back to this bill.” But he will have to see a major shift in opinions on Capitol Hill for that to happen.

Showdown in the U.S. Senate as hunt for gun-control votes intensifies. Gun control supporters scrambled to find 60 votes to pass expanded background checks on firearms purchases, hoping to sway reluctant senators ahead of a showdown vote. After spinning its wheels for most of the day Tuesday, the Senate set up a series of gun votes for Wednesday, including what has become the critical fight — a proposal to expand background checks to include all sales at gun shows and over the Internet, though it would exclude person-to-person private sales.

SPECIAL COVERAGE: Second Amendment and Gun Control Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, has scheduled votes on eight other amendments to underlying gun legislation, including bans on certain types of guns and magazines. He told reporters earlier Tuesday that gun control supporters were still searching for support, but he felt they had momentum. “Am I saying it’s all over with, done, we got the votes? No, but we certainly feel we have the wind at our back,” he said. Sen. Mr. Senate Sets Flurry of Crucial Votes on Gun Measures. America’s New Bomb Threat. Ten years before the brutal genocide, a religious fervor gripped Kibeho as dozens claimed the Virgin Mary had appeared to them. One of the chosen recalls her disturbing prophecy. Before Kibeho, a village spiraling up one of the area’s many hills, became a notorious killing ground during the Rwandan genocide, it was the country’s most celebrated holy spot.

For nine years in the 1980s, it gained worldwide fame after a streak of schoolgirls claimed the Virgin Mary appeared to them with messages, including one that foreshadowed the country’s devastating genocide. The road south to Kibeho, paved until it slides into dirt for the last hour stretch from the capital of Kigali, is peppered with signs pointing to “Kibeho Holy Place.”

They lead through the sleepy town, where pairs of nuns can be spotted walking the streets in white-and-blue habits, to a stately brick church situated in a back clearing, crowning the village. Ruhinguka unlocks the memorial shed. But the visitors are still coming. Senator Ted Cruz Says Background Check Agenda Is To Have A 'List Of Every Gun Owner In America' As the Senate has reached an agreement to override any filibuster attempt and bring a gun bill to the floor for a straight up vote, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has said that the real universal background check agenda of the federal government is to have a "list of every gun owner in America. " When Vice President Joe Biden said, "This is just the beginning" talking about gun control recently, our money would be on what Senator Cruz believes vs Obama's or Biden's recent clamoring that, "there's nothing violating anyone's 2nd Amendment rights" in any of this current legislation.

Not currently, but this is just the beginning, right? Here is what Senator Cruz had to say on Hannity last night about the real reason for universal background checks: "I think it's wrong that politicians try to take advantage of [victims'] suffering–not to actually fix the problem but instead to push the same anti-gun agenda they had before this tragedy...

"Why is all this focus directed at background checks? Gun bill clears Senate hurdle as filibuster falls short. Controversial gun legislation cleared a key Senate hurdle Thursday, as lawmakers voted 68-31 to start debate on the package which includes expanded background checks and new penalties for gun trafficking. Senate Democrats, joined by 16 Republicans, were able to overcome an attempted filibuster by GOP senators opposed to the current bill. Those senators could still slow-walk the debate, but the Senate will eventually begin votes on amendments -- one of which is considered crucial to winning support for a final vote. Though the bill cleared a 60-vote hurdle on Thursday, supporters will likely have to corral another 60-vote majority when it comes time to call a final vote, which Democrats acknowledged is a heavy lift. The White House called Thursday's tally an "important" but "early milestone," as both sides of the issue prepare for a grueling debate.

The amendment likely to be at the front of the line is one from Sens. Reid lost two Democrats in Thursday's vote -- Sen. Biden: 'Use a Shotgun on Someone Invading Your home and You Don't Kill Your Kids' Responding to critics who ridicule his insistence that shotguns are the best home defense weapon Vice President Joe Biden warned MSNBC's Morning Joe of what he perceived as the dangers of using an AR-15 for home defense. The Vice President's concerns focused mostly on the idea that a round fired from an AR-15 may penetrate through a wall and hit a child in their bedroom. He insisted that would not happened using a shotgun. "You know, they make fun of my saying about use a shotgun if someone's invading your home - guess what, use a shotgun on someone invading your home and you don't kill your kids - use an AR-15, it goes through your wall and it can kill your kid in the bedroom" Biden said. Biden made no mention of self-defense ammunition designed for the AR-15 in order to prevent wall penetration.

Pointing out a sign held by a protester which read, “stop gun ban! ,” Martinez remarked, “someone needs to inform him that there is no gun ban currently, but because of the work we’re doing here today, we will make your sign legitimate shortly, so you hang on to that.”

The event, which was was hosted in association with Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo who also gave a speech, took place on Saturday and was sponsored in part by Texas Gun Sense, a group pushing for stricter gun laws which would include universal background checks, limiting magazine capacities of semi-auto assault rifles and preventing guns being put in the hands of armed security guards on school campuses.
