So while there are many things that happened this month (or continue on from previous months) which are gun-related, some you may already have heard about in the news, and others not so much. I'll touch on the bigger stories you may already know something about towards the end. But let's start off with some of what you probably heard nothing about.

BALTIMORE �" Police issue intelligence bulletin threat warning to officers regarding stickers on cars showing support for 2nd Amendment:

     Suffering from some of the same elitist government supremacist victim disarmament dogma brainwashing that infects so much of the east coast and DC area, the Baltimore Police Criminal Intelligence Section issued an “Intelligence Bulletin” warning officers about persons displaying the 2nd Amendment decal pictured here.

For context, understand that this graphic is inspired by one police are all familiar with, which is the “Thin Blue Line” sticker that many law enforcement supporters display prominently on their driver's side rear windows.

The stickers started out as an exclusive item that used to only be available as a token gift for donating money to various police benevolent associations who care for surviving family members of cops killed in the line of duty. (Today they are available via ebay and others.)  The black field represents the deadly danger cops face, while the blue represents the cops themselves. Conversely, the 2nd Amendment sticker's black field represents the dangerous world around us all, while the silver boundary of the center black stripe represents the protection and codification in law of the 2nd Amendment, delineating the center black stripe as representing the lethal rights of The People to wield that lethal force when right and proper.

 The bulletin contains the following caption in bold red letters:

“….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.”

 Why the Baltimore City Police Department feels the need to profile persons who choose to support the U.S. Constitution? James H. Green, of the Baltimore City Police Department tried to explain with the following statement:

 “...traffic stops are the single most dangerous encounter for law enforcement. It certainly is practice for law enforcement to ask operators about weapons for safety reasons only. The presence of a decal is NOT justification in itself for a traffic stop.”

It later was revealed that the Intelligence Bulletin did not originate with the Baltimore Police, but rather, was actually a product of WARTAC, the Washington Regional Threat Analysis Center.

So remember kids,...if you show evidence on your vehicle of supporting the wrong elements of the Bill Of Rights or Constitution, you may be profiled by police. Because you are a potential threat. Feel better?

TUCSON  �" Gun rights activists are familiar with Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), which penny for penny and pound for pound is the most hardcore unrepentant and undeterred bad-ass firearms rights organization in America. Founded by Aaron Zelman, their goal is to remind folks that the Holocaust only happened because Jews allowed themselves to be disarmed by gun-control, and fight such deadly and potentially genocidal laws and ideas here with the same “Never Again” zeal modern Jews are justifiably known for. Alas, this is not as easy a task as one might think, since the American Jewish community has a thick wide stripe of leftist collectivism running through its center, going all the way back to before the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. And despite how they were slaughtered during those dark years in Europe, most American Jews today still advocate for disarmament, failing their progeny to learn from their recent past. Aaron Zelman, through JPFO, has worked for years to rectify this, notably by publishing some great works, such as the book which exposes how the United States' own gun-control laws are based on (and sometimes copied directly from, word for word) the same Nazi gun laws that left the Jews defenseless before the SS troops.

Tragically, the iconic Mr. Zelman passed away in December. Many have wondered what would become of JPFO, the organization created by this patriotic and dedicated American.

 It was announced this past week that a new Executive Director for JPFO has been named. And for me, it is personally very satisfying to say that I have known the man for many years, and he is a fellow Arizona gun rights and political activist, Charles Heller. Chuck is a political refugee from Chicago, where he grew up as the son of a cop and grandson of a judge. A certified firearms instructor, radio show host and personality, he is also one of 4 co-founders of the Arizona Citizen's Defense League (AZCDL), which in a short time has become THE premier lobbying force in Arizona politics on behalf of gun-owners. A real bulldog, with a similar Chicagoesque stature to match, Chuck Heller will no doubt do his best to fill Aaron Zelman's very big shoes and do honor to the role he has been entrusted with.

PHOENIX  �" Do medical marijuana users/sellers have a right to self-defense?

     While individual rights have been under assault on an even wider scale in the last decade in the name of the fight against terrorism, two such rights that have been bucking that trend and gaining ground have been gun rights and personal medical rights. Ill-conceived gun restrictions of all kinds all over the country have been in retreat. Likewise, the decriminalization of marijuana for medical purposes at the state level has also been advancing. It was only a matter of time before these two trend lines met in some sort of way that would cause courts, cops, legislators and common folk to all gasp and pause to wonder.

     Generally speaking (which means I understand that the following statement is not universally true, but is mostly accurate), those who support liberalizing access to marijuana are of a much different political paradigm than those who support the same for guns. Gun folks tend to be from the conservative camp, while medical marijuana folks tend to be from the liberal/progressive side of the tracks. And while they may occasionally in spirit support the other, each side looks at the other as a liability to their own pet passion. Both sides work hard to show that their particular freedom they are fighting for is not inherently dangerous to society and should be regulated less than it currently is.

     Which is why both weed and gun supporters alike winced and cringed recently at the news about a grower/seller of medical marijuana who defended himself against armed robbers this month, killing one of them. Arizona has been a leader in both the marijuana and gun freedom movements, so it just makes sense that this happened here. Law Enforcement types have tried to scare the public with claims that decriminalizing weed will lead to increased crime in residential neighborhoods, while gun-control types have similarly tried to convince folks that gun freedom will result in blood running in the streets. While, rather obviously, none of these is true and quite ridiculous on their face, the June 3rd shooting in Phoenix is being spun by the critics of both issues to support the return to a heavy government hand in controlling these items.

     Nearly 4 weeks later, the Phoenix Police and Maricopa County Attorney's Office have still not released the name of the victim who defended himself,...nor have they levied charges against him. Which for us Phoenix residents is kind of odd, because our knowledge of the personalities running those organizations informs us that they would desperately like to string this individual up for a public flogging. Why has there been no movement on this case? Well, let's look at some few specifics that are known:

Issue #1. The seller received his state-issued card on May 25th. But began advertizing and had mature plants for sale almost immediately. To a prosecutor, this might suggest the defendant/victim/grower was not such a strict observer of law and regulations as having complied with the state's program might suggest. To have those plants on hand that week, he had to have grown them before he was licensed by the state. That could get sticky for him.

Issue #2. On May 24th, Gov. Jan Brewer directed Attorney General Tom Horne to file a lawsuit asking a federal judge to weigh in on the legality of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA). Citing concerns that state employees who process AMMA applications approving medicinal marijuana dispensaries could be jeopardized with federal prosecution for violating federal drug laws, Brewer claims to seek some sort of direction from the courts that state employees may move forward. But until such a response is received, the governor has directed that the application process be placed on hold (which WAS due to begin accepting dispensary applications on June 1st). Thusly, when the licensee involved in the shooting received his card the next day, on May 25th, there would be no dispensaries for the foreseeable future. It seems he decided to try and fill that void in absence of an operating state. In the vacuum left by the state's abdication of its role in implementing the program approved by the voters and the state government, was the grower within or outside of the law in filling that void? The decision may rest heavily on the answer to issue #1 above.

 Issue #3. Possession of both drugs and guns at the same time. Because the feds have pioneered the sentencing enhancements for having both items at once, the state of Az. hasn't really focused on doing this at the state level. But the fact that Az. has been liberalizing (making more free) its laws in regards to carrying guns, legislators, courts and gun rights activists are sensitive to whatever might cast these efforts in a disparaging light. There are those who will seek to use this incident for such ill aims. Some gun rights advocates have been hesitant to say that those rights extend also to medical marijuana patients and staffers, and would be perfectly willing to throw them under the bus. Despite this, however, both Oregon and Rhode Island have affirmed that medical marijuana card holders retain all gun rights as the average citizen. Odd for states that are havens for liberalism, except when seen in light of trying to make Med. Marijuana work. Arizona, however, is quite Republican, and this could play differently here, even though the Arizona gun culture and community is perhaps the most ardent and vigorous in the nation. Currently, state law does not say having a gun and medical marijuana together is illegal,...yet, neither does it say that it is not illegal. This presents an opportunity for prosecutorial mayhem and recklessness involving Arizona gun law. All of which is completely separate from the federal liability this man is facing. Regardless of what does or does not happen to him at the state level,...I would bet my first born child he will be prosecuted federally for gun violations revolving around drugs.

This case will get very interesting, regardless of what happens, and it will have far-reaching effects. But it really all comes down to this: Does a legally-compliant medical marijuana grower have a right to self-defense? Once again, Arizona will be the focal point of ground breaking developments in the fight for liberty. We will keep you posted.

     In a related incident out of Colorado, a woman there growing marijuana legally for medical patients was also robbed, and she killed her attacker. To make a long story short,...woman gets licensed by state to have, grow medical pot. She hires a man to outfit her home with the piping to feed her indoor crop. Knowing she has pot and perhaps money as well, he decides to rob her a few weeks later. That went so well, he decides to come back and do it again. Now he's dead. In this instance, no gun was used. She grabbed a kitchen knife to defend her castle. She is now charged with 2nd Degree Murder.

     Why the difference between these two very similar circumstances? Good question.

     The Phoenix man went to his attackers' residence to conduct an actual transaction. So he was in the process of selling weed, and took his gun with him.

     The Colorado woman was not conducting a transaction, and was merely at home doing nothing at all, and doesn't even own a gun. She was attacked in her own home,...TWICE,...before she acted. Yet she is the one charged with harming someone?

     The difference seems to be that the cops and prosecutors in Colorado are even more biased against the medical marijuana movement than they are in Phoenix, and simply seem prepared to railroad someone they disagree with more so than authorities in Arizona. It is likely something similar will happen elsewhere, and we may well see there as well a different reaction by the authorities to the particular circumstances. But my take on all this is that the question will soon become unavoidable and will end up before the courts: Do medical marijuana users/sellers have a right to self-defense? So far, the answer depends on where you live,...and could still change.

IRAQ  �" As US prepares to depart, citizens fearful of future are arming up.

     Even during the heart of the violence experienced during the US occupation in Iraq, US forces allowed citizens to keep an AK47 infantry rifle in their home for personal protection. It was a very enlightened policy that nearly no other invading army in the world would ever allow under their watch. And that's nothing new for America. German citizens under occupation were allowed to keep their guns at the end of WW2. (Although that policy was not followed in Japan, where all guns and swords were required to be turned over to American authorities. Racism? Perhaps.) But as the US has been handing more and more authority and responsibility over to the Iraqis themselves, Iraqi authorities have begun (predictably) scaling back the ability for citizens to be legally armed. Many have been required to surrender and turn in their weapons. For a while, many Iraqis complied, convinced to do so by the fact the Americans were doing a somewhat good job of keeping order. But as the departure of American forces draws nearer and citizens are left at the whim of their own notorious over-lords, demand for illicit, unregistered guns has skyrocketed, and fortunes are being made by those who can provide them.

     Just like the American drug scene, although the guns are now illegal for all but a few to own, everyone knows where to get them. The only question is whether someone has the money to pay. For the entrepreneur, no other economic activity in Baghdad right now offers as much possibility for financial growth and success as does becoming a gun-runner.

TUCSON  �" When the police screw up, it's time to play “Smear The Victim”.

     In early May, Tucson PD got national attention when their regional SWAT team raided several homes in a drug investigation to serve search warrants. At one of the houses, where a person on the far periphery of the investigation lived, a shootout ensued, and the suspect was killed. His name was Jose Guerena. A former combat Marine who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Jose awoke to his door being broken in and armed men invading his home. Quite naturally, he grabbed one of several weapons he had. That reaction got him killed.

     There has been much debate about the incident. That debate has centered around whether a raid of his residence was truly warranted, and the fact he not only did the resident never fire a round, but the SWAT team appeared to be very reckless and unprofessional in hosing Jose with over 75 rounds, 22 of which hit him. It all has gone very badly for the Tucson PD in the aftermath. The public is hostile to this incident and calling for heads to roll.

     Unable to adequately defend their actions, Tucson PD has begun trying to smear the deceased Jose Guerena. Their most recent attempt, and perhaps their most underhanded, was the recent revelation that one of the guns found in the Guerena home was stolen in a Tucson burglary 3 years ago. Because some of the other allegations (unsubstantiated so far) made by TPD against Jose are that he was associated with armed rip-offs of competing drug gangs and hijackings of drugs, this stolen weapon might seem to support TPD's profile of Guerena as a bad guy. But aside from the fact that Jose worked too many shifts at the copper mine where he was employed to have much time to do these activities, the burglary occurred while Jose was deployed overseas, and wasn't even in the country!!

     But to average people, especially those outside of Arizona, the fact he was in possession of a stolen gun seems damning. However, here in Arizona, guns are considered not much different than any other piece of property, and are traded, bartered, sold, given away or made gifts of very frequently, and with the same scrutiny as you would expect with a toaster oven. It is not uncommon for people in the gun community who acquire various guns through private party transactions to occasionally acquire unknowingly one that is stolen. They may never learn that it is stolen until one day they pawn it or encounter a police officer in the field who runs the serial number. And the police are completely aware that this occurs innocently to many unwary buyers. And because of this, the press release by Tuscon PD about the stolen gun found in the deceased's home where they killed him is officially a dirty trick.

CHICAGO  �" Chicago: Rahm Emanuel’s New Moonbat Police Chief Blames City’s Epidemic Gun Violence On “Government-Sponsored Racism” And. . . Sarah Palin?…

    
     The pervasion of illegal guns in America’s black and Latino communities is a result of “government-sponsored racism,” akin to “slavery, segregation, black codes [and] Jim Crow,” Rahm Emanuel’s new police chief, Garry McCarthy, told parishioners at St. Sabina’s Church earlier this month.

“This is sensitive. You know, because everybody’s afraid of race. Have you noticed that? Everybody’s afraid of race. I’m not afraid of race,” said McCarthy, who told of growing up in the Bronx with guns, gangs and drugs plentiful.

“Let’s see if we can make a connection here. Slavery. Segregation. Black codes. Jim Crow. What, what did they all have in common? Anybody getting scared? Government sponsored racism.”

“Now I want you to connect one more dot on that chain of the African American history in this country, and tell me if I’m crazy: Federal gun laws that facilitate the flow of illegal firearms, into our urban centers across this country, that are killing our black and brown children,” he said.

McCarthy blasted the NRA, telling parishioners that their communities have paid the price while the gun manufacturers are getting “rich and living in gated communities.”

And he told an anecdote of just one night with the New York Police Department. After returning home from investigating a pair of shootings, he said he flipped on the television to relax, only to find “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” being broadcast.

“She was caribou hunting, and talking about the right to bear arms,” he said. “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”

Richard Pearson, the Executive Director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said McCarthy is only attacking gun-rights advocates because "he has nothing else to offer."

"He's not talking about what the real problems are.  He's not facing the fact his gang unit failing, that the graduation rate in Chicago Public Schools is about 50 percent.  He never mentions the economic problems," said Pearson.

     With Osama Bin Laden no gone, there is a bit of a struggle within Al Qaida to see who shall be recognized as its new leader. In an apparent bid to get followers to do something remarkable and noteworthy towards the Great Satan and thereby show he is worthy of elevation within AQ, Adam Gadahn, the California-born muslim convert from a Jewish family who has been the voice on many AQ videos over the years, encouraged muslims in America to lash out independently.

   “Muslims in the west have to remember that they are perfectly placed to play an important and decisive part against the Zionists and Crusaders.” “This is a golden opportunity”,  and   “America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center, and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle without a background check and most likely without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?”

     While Gadahn is (typically for a Californian) ignorant about how to acquire a machinegun in America today (they are NOT just cash & carry items at gun shows or anywhere else), he none the less plays into the fears promoters of gun-control have been trying to foster for years; that any nutball can go get a gun and start laying waste on the public. Is it likely some muslim in America has seen this message and taken it to heart, and will do something like Gadahn encourages? Perhaps so. But if/when they do, they will soon be cut down by an American citizen with their own gun, and just as in Israel, won't get very far at all. In fact, the reason you see and hear about bombings in the holy land is because this has been tried before,...and failed. So many martyrs for Islam were killed and/or neutralized in Israel before they wounded very many people (or any at all in many cases) with mere firearms, that they turned to the much more effective use of bombs. If we ain't having bombings in cafe's and sporting events and on buses now, I suspect there ain't gonna be a whole lot of jihadist shooting rampages. And any that do occur are just gonna be amateurish examples of Al Qaida desperation.

WAHINGTON DC  �" Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns loves Adam Gadahn

     And as part of the overall theme to the story above, agent of victim disarmament, Michael Bloomberg, has had his little group Mayors Against Illegal Guns capitalize on the video Gadahn made. Using the emotionally inflammatory tag line that “Terrorists who want to buy guns have friends on Capitol Hill,” Bloomberg has funded a TV ad campaign aimed at closing the so-called “gun show loophole”. Advocating registration of gun-owners themselves, Bloomberg's message is “you're checked against a terrorist watch list to board an airplane, but you don't have to be checked when buying assault weapons.”

     Unfortunately for Bloomberg, most Americans have tired of the TSA bullspit many years ago, and the TSA's bumbling inadequacy and penchant for violating people and their rights is known to the common Joe. Perhaps identifying his proposed gun-control schemes with the losers at TSA is not such a winning idea.

LIBYA �" And speaking of putting guns in the hands of terrorists....

     French officials have reluctantly conceded recently that they have indeed been air dropping rifles, machineguns, rockets and other small arms to tribesmen in the Libyan desert. Tons and tons and aircraft load after aircraft load have been delivered and continue to be. Nothing wrong with that really, as all God's children deserve access to weapons. And Lord knows, without those guns, those tribesmen would be nearly powerless and naked before Gaddafi or whomever else sought to rule them.

     But various European government leaders are in a tizzy about this. Why? Well, it is well known in law enforcement circles in Europe that many of the truly heavy firepower guns that show up in the hands of criminals there in the disarmed utopia come from North Africa. Currently, the ratio is about 40% smuggled in from the former soviet bloc, 10% are left over from WW2 (which littered Europe with spare guns), and about 35% come from war-torn regions just across the Mediterranean from Europe's southern coast. With most of the governments of the North African coast now is severe state of flux and not operating with full vigor, combined with the ability of local fishermen to now easily  acquire these guns, some will chose to sell them into the black market for delivery to Spanish, Italian or French criminal gangs. European authorities fear that with the increased availability of weaponry, they soon might see shootouts similar those going on in Mexico.

ARIZONA �" State police get hacked

     A couple weeks ago, Arizona's Dept. of Public Safety had several email accounts of their personel hacked, and many documents and other information were shared on the internet with the rest of the world. For those here in Arizona who have permits for carrying concealed weapons (CCW), there was much consternation that perhaps the database of permit holders (which is administered by DPS) might have also been compromised. Aside from issues of privacy, CCW permit holders feared that enterprising criminals would want that information so as to know what residences would make good targets for burglary to acquire guns. But the information inherently held on CCW card holders is so complete, it would also make for very easy stealing and co-opting of identities and fraud.

     So far, word is that the CCW database was not part of the hack, and supposedly it is a stand-alone system that operators enter and extract info from directly on site only. Perhaps. But we'll see.

CALIFORNIA �" Licensed gun dealers being asked in survey to identify their own weaknesses

     Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) across the country began receiving this month an offer to participate in a survey of their business. The survey is put out by the University of California at Davis, by one “Project Director” named Garen Wintermute. The cover letter for the survey says:

“I am writing to ask for your help in completing the first nationwide survey of businesses and individuals who are Federal Firearms Licensees. We hope to understand better the unique perspective of firearms licensees on important social issues and the firearms business itself. We are also collecting the first nationwide information on the day-to-day business experience of firearm licensees.”

     That sounds harmless enough. But when you look up who this Garen Wintermute fellow is, suddenly, what at first appears harmless becomes an obvious Trojan Horse.
     Dr. Wintermute, who serves as the director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis, is perhaps best known for authoring the anti-gun report “Ring of Fire: The Handgun Makers of Southern California.” More recently, Dr. Wintermute and his team conducted “undercover operations” of gunshows for their report, “Inside Gun Shows: What Goes on When Everyone Thinks Nobody is Watching.”
     Given Dr. Wintermute’s history, it is clear that this firearms retailer survey will be used as a tool to justify and support legislation to curb the lawful commerce of firearms and the individual rights of law-abiding Americans.

     Interestingly, each survey had its own tracking number. Which means that all answers could be permanently assigned in a database to the particular FFL holder who answered. If the conductor of the survey could be trusted to keep all data confidential, that would be one thing. But Garen Wintermute is not such a guy. More importantly, the program is funded with both federal and state tax dollars, and as such, all program materials are by law to be archived for potential auditing, and are able to be reviewed by nearly anyone who can present government credentials and a supposedly valid reasoning for demanding to see the data.

     You can see the survey for yourself here:

WASHINGTON DC �" BATF getting grilled for their role in smuggling guns to Mexico

     You likely have already heard about the scandal over how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (BATF) allowed known buyers of guns for Mexican criminal activities to make their purchases and go off into the sunset. They did this supposedly to let the cases “grow” and learn more about where the guns went, how they got there, and other details of these criminal syndicates. All with an eye (it is claimed) toward eventually shutting down a large network of suppliers than just a few small fish. But after 2 ½ years, thousands of guns over the border into Mexico and no arrests, some American law enforcement personnel are now dead, killed by these same weapons that BATF let walk. The scandal earned the moniker Project GunWalker, but its official name was Operation Fast & Furious.

     Congressman Darrel Issa (R, Ca.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has been conducting an investigation of this ugly turd of a scandal. Issa has been fighting an uphill battle, as the agency and other various other persons with knowledge of the operation have been doing their best to stonewall him and not release any details or information. If it were not for some BATF agents who were upset with their agency and who have agreed to testify before the Committee, the public wouldn't know much even today.

 

 

     ATF has a long history of not tolerating critics or whistle-blowers, and the agents who came forward to testify knew well that they were ending their careers by doing so. The first of these to officially get the ax last week was Vincent Cefalu, who even before Fast & Furious had run afoul of supervisors for being a vocal critic of some illegal wiretaps. A 30 year veteran of the agency, Cefalu was sidelined to menial duties and tasks. Determined to play a positive role in cleaning up the agency he had devoted his adult life to, Cefalu and his wife started a website called www.cleanupatf.org where agents could anonymously talk critically about problems in the ATF and what needed to be done. It was at www.cleanupatf.org  where agents first began to publicly talk about Fast & Furious, with the intent that outside news sources would pick up the story, which they did. After Fast & Furious became public news, Cefalu spent most of his time “changing batteries or filling cars with gas.” He has described “Operation Fast and Furious,” as designed to flood Mexico with American guns, as a violation of the law, maintaining “there was no intent to follow the guns… this never had a chance of succeeding.” Ironically, one of the reasons given for Cefalu’s termination was “a lack of candor.” That is code-speak for the fact that Cefalu refused to allow ATF administrators access to his website's database to discover who the anonymous other agents were participating in the discussion forums, so that then they too could be fired or run out of the agency.

     Perhaps not coincidentally, House Democrats Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have decided to hold their own Gun Walker hearings , at which “several gun control advocates” will speak. This has led to discussions on various gun-oriented internet forums where those who are ever suspiscious of the ATF and Democrats speculate that there never was any other intent for Fast & Furious but to generate imagery and mayhem out of Mexico that would lend to calling for greater gun-control efforts at the federal level. And in fact, several conservative pundits postulate that there need to be answers about who in the federal chain of command knew what, and when did they know it. Many feel that as a minimum, US Atty. Eric Holder probably knew of and gave sanction to Fast & Furious, and some feel this likely was made known to and approved by Obama as well. But for the moment, the fall guy seems to be ATF Director, Ken Melson, who is refusing to resign. It might be interesting to see if Issa and Congress can get Melson to roll on his superiors and finger them.

     The story continues to unravel and ain't going away anytime soon. Neither is ATF likely to cooperate, as it seems they have circled the wagons. Curiously, the Mexican government has been oddly silent in criticizing ATF's culpability in knowingly assisting thousands of guns being delivered to the criminal element in their country. If anyone should be upset, it's them.

     As more becomes known in this ugly mess of government conspiracy and/or incompetence, we will keep you updated.
