Update, Response from Remington

New response from Remington:

Because its thanksgiving and everyone is off, we have not made contact
with HS. We have taken any reference to HS from our web site..When you first
emailed me I honestly did not recall horiuchi's name so you caught me unawares.
I also do not read the blogs so the fact there was an issue came as a surpise.In
any event, HS makes a great product and we are a large customer of theirs. Why
they would pick a super controversial spokesperson is beyond me. Doing this
violates pure business common sense. Early next week we will use whatever
persuasive powers at our disposal to get HS to do the right thing..Do me a favor
and tell those on the bolgs that Remington and I are now fully aware of the
issue, in full agreement with the outrage, and will do what we can't exert
pressure on HS to reverse course.

Thanks

Tommy

HS Precision Prints Endorsement from Ruby Ridge Murderer Lon Horiuchi

http://johnjacobh.wordpress.com/2008/11/27/it-is-true-lon-horuichi-on-hs-precision-payroll/

This is absolutely repulsive. This man illegally shot and murdered a woman holding her little child at Ruby Ridge and escaped murder charges on a technicality. He should have been tried, convicted, and senetenced to death years ago. Now this company which manufactures firearms and parts (take note that they make many stocks for Remington brand firearms as well) does the ultimate spit in the faces of those of us who value the Second Amendment and despise government tyranny: they proudly print a murderer's endorsement of their products, and from the murky details I've found so far, he may even be on their payroll in some fashion. Thus far HS Precision has ignored messages from people complaining. Remington, however, has sent out responses to people saying they'll refuse to buy firearms with HS Precision stocks:

Thanks for your note. Was Mr Horiuchi charged and convicted of a crime in
the event you reference?
Thank you
Tommy Milner

Now that was a rather foolish response. Perhaps that individual is simply ignorant of the details, including why that murderer got away with what he did, and a better response will be forthcoming. But if not, there are plenty of choices out there in the gun world besides Remington...

"Who Really Cares About it Being Unconstitutional?"

The Pittsburgh city council voted in favor of an ordinance regulating firearms (illegal under PA state laws). Significant is the statement from one of the Democrat members:

"Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?" said Councilwoman Tonya
Payne, a supporter. "This is what's right to do, and if this means that we
have to go out and have a court battle, then that's fine..." http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.com/pg/08329/930426-100.stm

Of course the ordinance will have no effect on criminals (why would they go out and turn themselves in for doing something illegal?). But this demonstrates the problem with these far-left anti-gun politicians: they don't care about the Constitution, they think they can do whatever they want.

Russian Analyst Predicts Collapse and Break-Up of the U.S.

Interestingly, this Russian analyst is predicting that the U.S. will collapse and split up:

http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm

RUSSIAN ANALYST PREDICTS DECLINE AND BREAKUP OF USATue Nov 25 2008 09:04:22
ETA leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the
United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for
collapse, and will divide into separate parts. Professor Igor Panarin said in an
interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: "The dollar is
not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche,
even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my
prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This
is a pyramid that can only collapse." The paper said Panarin's dire predictions
for the U.S. economy, initially made at an international conference in Australia
10 years ago at a time when the economy appeared strong, have been given more
credence by this year's events. When asked when the U.S. economy would collapse,
Panarin said: "It is already collapsing. Due to the financial crisis, three of
the largest and oldest five banks on Wall Street have already ceased to exist,
and two are barely surviving. Their losses are the biggest in history. Now what
we will see is a change in the regulatory system on a global financial scale:
America will no longer be the world's financial regulator." When asked who would
replace the U.S. in regulating world markets, he said: "Two countries could
assume this role: China, with its vast reserves, and Russia, which could play
the role of a regulator in Eurasia." Asked why he expected the U.S. to break up
into separate parts, he said: "A whole range of reasons. Firstly, the financial
problems in the U.S. will get worse. Millions of citizens there have lost their
savings. Prices and unemployment are on the rise. General Motors and Ford are on
the verge of collapse, and this means that whole cities will be left without
work. Governors are already insistently demanding money from the federal center.
Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the
elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles. But by spring, it will be
clear that there are no miracles." He also cited the "vulnerable political
setup", "lack of unified national laws", and "divisions among the elite, which
have become clear in these crisis conditions." He predicted that the U.S. will
break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese
population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements
are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality;
five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations;
and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong. He even
suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after
all." Panarin, 60, is a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has authored several books on information
warfare.

However, a warning to the Russians: Stay out of Alaska, you'll never be able to control it (think Afghanistan invasion), and I doubt the Canadians (with whom you have been playing games with in their Arctic territory) would take kindly to you invading either.

The Slaughter of Freedom is just Warming Up

There are bad signs everywhere you look these days, showing our freedom is in great danger.

Well, the obomination's attorney general pick promises to be worse than Janet Butcher of Waco Reno:

Barack Obama’s nomination of Eric Holder for attorney general will not sit well
with advocates of Second Amendment rights — Holder has consistently championed
stronger gun-control measures.As deputy attorney general in the Bill Clinton
administration from 1997 to 2001, Holder “was a strong supporter of restrictive
gun control,” according to The Volokh Conspiracy, a Web site that focuses on the
legal system and the courts.He advocated federal licensing of handgun owners, a
three-day waiting period on handgun sales, rationing handgun sales to no more
than one per month, banning possession of handguns and so-called "assault
weapons" by anyone under age 21, a gun show restriction bill that would have
given the federal government the power to shut down all gun shows, and national
gun registration.“He also promoted the factoid that ‘Every day that goes by,
about 12, 13 more children in this country die from gun violence’ — a statistic
that is true only if one counts 18-year-old gangsters who shoot each other as
‘children,’” noted the Web site, founded by law professor Alexander Volokh.After
the 9/11 attacks, Holder wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post arguing
that a new law should give "the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms a record
of every firearm sale." He also said prospective gun buyers should be checked
against the secret "watch lists" compiled by various government entities.Earlier
this year, Holder — who would become the first African-American attorney general
— co-signed an amicus brief in support of the District of Columbia’s ban on all
handguns and on the use of any firearm for self-defense in the home.Holder also
played a key role in the snatching of 6-year-old Cuban Elian Gonzalez from his
Miami relatives’ home in April 2000, according to the Web site. Gonzalez was to
be sent to Cuba where his father lived.Although a photo clearly showed a federal
agent pointing a gun at the man who was holding the terrified child, Holder
claimed that the federal agents sent to capture Gonzalez had acted "very
sensitively."David Kopel, author of the Volokh Conspiracy report, observed: “If
Mr. Holder believes that breaking down a door with a battering ram, pointing
guns at children (not just Elian), and yelling ‘Get down, get down, we'll shoot’
is an example of acting ‘very sensitively,’ his judgment about the responsible
use of firearms is not as acute as would be desirable for a cabinet officer who
would be in charge of thousands and thousands of armed federal agents, many of
them paramilitary agents with machine guns.”Holder has already come under fire
due to his involvement in the Mark Rich pardon in the final hours of the Clinton
presidency.Billionaire Rich renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to
Switzerland to avoid prosecution for racketeering, wire fraud, tax fraud, tax
evasion, and illegal trades with Iran in violation of the U.S. embargo following
the 1979-80 hostage crisis.Seventeen years later, Rich wanted a pardon, and he
retained Jack Quinn, former counsel to the president, to lobby his old
boss.Holder had originally recommended Quinn to one of Rich's advisers,
political analyst Dick Morris reported. And he gave substantive advice to Quinn
along the way.Once the pardon was granted, Holder sent his congratulations to
Quinn. http://newsmax.com/insidecover/hold.../21/153808.html

Eric Holder also favors censorship of the internet: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/11/21/2224235.shtml

He picked AZ Governor Janet Napolitano for the head of Homeland Security. http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,455045,00.html

For anyone who doesn't know, she is very far to the left, rabidly anti-gun, and not good in any way, shape or form for us.

Something else that can have potentially bad implications:

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama's 3 million campaign volunteers
got re-enlistment notices this week.
Campaign manager David Plouffe, in a
mass e-mail sent Wednesday to former workers, asked how much time they can spare
for four missions integral to Obama's effort to transform his victory into a
broader political movement.
The volunteers' options are, Plouffe wrote:
Campaign for progressive state and local candidates
Undertake grassroots
local efforts to advance Obama's agenda
Train others in Obama's organizing
techniques
Focus on local political issues.
"Obama's building a
political machine," said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar at the Brookings
Institution, a center-left Washington research group.
"These people have just
opened up a new world for politics," added Hess, the author of "What Do We Do
Now?: A Workbook for the President-Elect."
Pre-Internet presidents, he said,
lacked the ability to communicate in real time with masses of their volunteers.
In addition, the social networks such as MySpace and Facebook that link Obama's
army together didn't exist.
The net effect was that pre-Obama political
machines grew out of local politics and remained rooted there. Statewide or
presidential candidates relied largely on local leaders' support.
Not so
Obama, who, at least for now, has the allegiance of thousands of volunteers in
most if not all congressional districts.
"Your hard work built this
movement," Plouffe wrote them. "Now it's up to you to decide how we move
forward."
His four-page questionnaire also asks respondents to name their
top-priority issues out of 27 listed. The options included environment and
global warming, civil rights and voting rights, war in Iraq, jobs and trade, or
divisive politics and partisanship.
Plouffe also invited volunteers to
identify their proudest campaign accomplishment and, separately, to name a
fellow volunteer or field organizer who inspired them.
In the hallmark of a
campaign that ran on small donations, volunteers are once again invited to make
a financial contribution. This time it's to the Obama-Biden transition
effort.

It's Back!

It's back. The obominations' disgusting statement in favor of trampling on our rights is back at change.gov, albeit re-worded as follows, under the Urban Policy section:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt
Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access
important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the
tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and
Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights
of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They
support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country
childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban
permanent.

Hamas Claims Ties to Obama Aides

Well the following story is quite interesting. It seems Hamas claims to have had contacts with Obama campaign aides even before he was elected. What's more, this fellow, Rob Malley, was essentially forced to the side back in the summer when some information surfaced that he may have had ties with Hamas, but now that Obama was elected, he's back:

Obama Advisor Malley's Role UncertainAfter the U.S. elections,
President-elect Obama appointed Robert Malley as a senior foreign policy
adviser. Malley, who served as an “informal adviser” to the Obama
campaign, was reportedly forced to sever his ties with the campaign six months
ago, when The Times of London reported that he was meeting with Hamas
representatives on a regular basis. During the campaign Obama claimed he
opposed contacts with the Hamas.
At the time, campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt
stated that "Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal
advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the
campaign. He will not play any role in the future."
