Home defense is not a matter of reading the mind of intruders,
it is in writing what will be on the mind of intruders at that moment.
Your pen is a loaded handgun which writes that one will
get down on the ground face down.
Write fast. Keep your ink dry.

Greetings!
We have a great liberty lineup today.
The Arizona Republic caught my attention first thing Sunday morning, and I'm continuing my remarks today. My comments and a link to the article today in Part II.
David Codrea is with us today with a very gratifying report on the armed citizen.
Bob Parks is with us.
Gun Dean John Snyder joins us along with fellow UCLA Alumni of mine, David Givot, and his article. Good advice from a pro: document, document, document.
Liberty in sovereignty,
John Longenecker

The gun debate - any gun debate - is nonsense, Part II.
Let me be clear.
Sometimes - I said sometimes - debate is welcome and important. At other times, it is unwelcome because it is a bad sign of interference.
Any second amendment debate reflects one of two things: i) either it is a poor understanding of our Sovereignty as supreme authority, or ii) it is a full awareness of our Sovereignty as supreme and the intent is to dismantle that.
If you want another example of how 'debate' can be a stealth wedge against human rights, check out today's Gun Owners of America essay from our friends at AMMOLAND. Thanks, guys!
Arizona is a frontier state. This is a Code Word for a population and heritage of having lived with reality as opposed to fantasy or theory. This is a state where officials are more akin to the populace than they are akin to elites. Arizona is an example of survival by grappling with reality.
Elites do not have to live with the consequences of their folly. They have enough prestige, clout and money to hire guns instead of carry them. They can always pay for more food. They can afford more energy and don't have to worry about electricity or safe water. They can always buy more privacy or purchase some exemption from some ludicrous policy. They can always find the money to blame others and make it stick.
The elites never have to live with the consequences of their silliness.
When it comes to gun control, they can enunciate their theories but exempt themselves from them. You can be sure -- you can be certain -- that their households are armed to the satisfaction of the elitist. And when Joe Bleau and his wife Josephine Bleau cannot own a gun because an elitist talked them out of it, but has one himself, only then do you understand the end-purpose of the 'debate.'
And where debate fails to dissuade Joe and Josephine, that elitist always has the force of the state behind him. 'Debate' is one of the early warning signs of confiscations to come.
In contrast to the elites, Arizona is a state where the politicians are much more compatible with the liberty and sovereign authority of their constituents. They officially recognize their constituents as the Sovereign and they act like it. Arizona is an example of how they do not need 'debate' about their freedoms and supremacy over their servants. The servants agree. Where is this coming from, then?
The idea of debate for the purpose of clarifying 'context' to this population of independence lovers is a mistaken notion. As the series continues, it may be well-meaning, but mistaken to begin with. Being well-meaning is not good enough. Millions are duped into being cooperative but deleterious to our way of life by falling for Marxist ideas. Gun control in any form is one such idea. There is no such thing as sensible gun laws in a nation where the people are the Sovereign in the nation. Gun control's intent is to undermine that sovereignty, make no mistake.
A debate really has no business even assuming that gun owners are in need of clarification (the stated mission of the Editorial Board). Americans who support gun laws are the ones in need of clarification, but gun owners are not. The presumption that people who do not like guns know more than the gun owners is a folly of impairment and not sensibilities. It's like a bachelor trying to lecture a married man on parenting. Not very many really have the insight couples have in spite of what the bachelor thinks he knows. At a very early point, it just becomes an interference with no redeeming purpose.

Arizona Republic Second Amendment
Guns in Arizona -- A life or death question...
On Jan. 8, six people were killed and 13 others wounded in a mass shooting near Tucson. As a debate about gun safety raged across the country and in Arizona, where state lawmakers ultimately passed new laws easing restrictions on gun owners, The Arizona Republic began examining the role of the firearm in state politics, commerce and life. The goal: to bring context to an issue that has been debated longer than Arizona has been a state.

Dennis Prager Sovereignty Ten ways progressive policies harm society's moral character.
While liberals are certain about the moral superiority of liberal policies, the truth is that those policies actually diminish a society's moral character. Many individual liberals are fine people, but the policies they advocate tend to make a people worse. Here are 10 reasons:

Gun Owners of America Sovereignty United Nations push for gun control treaty continues . . .
 [ . . .] Former ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, observes that, "The hidden agenda of a lot of the people who sought to negotiate a small arms treaty really had less to do with reducing dangers internationally and a lot more to do with creating a framework for gun control statutes at the national level."
Bolton explains that pressure from the groups agitating for the treaty -groups such as Amnesty International, Oxfam, and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA)- is geared toward constraining the freedoms of countries that recognize gun rights. "And specifically, and most importantly, [to] constrain the United States," Bolton said.

David Givot, J.D. MICP Independence. There is never "nothing" to write.
 [ . . .] On a cold February night, a paramedic unit is called to the drug store parking lot for an assault.
They arrive on scene at about 2:00AM, just 8 minutes after being rousted from a comfortable, warm sleep. The store is closed, the lights are off, and the doors are locked. There is not a soul in sight - there is nothing showing.
