Orange County Register (Ca), by Mark Steyn

A week ago on NBC´s "Meet The Press," David Gregory brandished on screen a high-capacity magazine. To most media experts, a "high-capacity magazine" means an ad-stuffed double-issue of Vanity Fair with the triple-page perfume-scented pullouts. But apparently in America´s gun-nut gun culture of gun-crazed gun kooks, it´s something else entirely, and it was this latter kind that Mr. Gregory produced in order to taunt Wayne LaPierre of the NRA. As the poster child for America´s gun-crazed gun-kook gun culture, Mr. LaPierre would probably have been more scared by the host waving around a headily perfumed Vanity Fair.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse? C´mon, we have millions of laws, and no one person in this whole country knows the law let alone which precedents that will apply or how the law will be interpreted.

Equality before the law - LPs consider it a quaint concept. But we either insist it be observed or we have already reached full tyranny.

Our laws don´t apply to Democrats, especially black Democrats because of CRT, and left wing elite media types pure and simple. Sad day in America but true.

The government has no business punishing everybody for the sins of the few. But the left never misses a golden opportuinty to transfer America and the Constitution to foreign concepts.

Any kind of broad based gun ban should require a repeal of the 2nd amendment first passed by the House and senate and then sent to the states for repeal.

The left has already conducted a war on free speech by mob attacks on people who speak out of turn against their precious sub groups of voters.Illegal aliens aren´t illegal because there´s no such thing as an illegal person.There´s a new theory of black behavior being blamed on an imaginary disease,not a conscience decision to break the law.

They´re killing religious freedoms with their attacks on Christians and their ability to display their faith in public.The only thing illegal is the state forcing someone to adopt a religious sect they don´t believe in,that doesn´t happen except with the left´s imposition of secularism as a form of religion.They punish thought with hate crimes which to me is unconstitutional and arbitrary.

As usual, I enjoyed every word. Steyn and his wisdom are priceless - probably because they are so rare in modern society. This article points out that sad fact in describing how standards and laws are applied these days.

I don´t recall Steyn mentioning any black people. David Gregory is certainly white.

On the same "Meet the Depressed" program Gregory took issue with the NRA suggestion that armed security guards be deployed in the public schools.

At the same time Gregory failed to tell the country that his children attend a high end private school in D.C., that has eleven security guards on staff, who are also apparently armed policemen.

If David Gregory does not go to prison for an extended period of time, there is no justice in this country. Bill Clinton committed perjury before the entire world and was not punished, but should this "celebrity" escape justice because of his notoriety?

He must be prosecuted! When the feds ban semi-auto rifles and many of the people refuse to surrender them to the fascist government, will the people avoid prosecution? Of course not!

All I was mentioning was that Democrats and the elite leftist media are above the law. CRT is Critical Race Theory is being taught in schools, colleges and churches. The basic summary of CRT is that all laws in this country were written by racist white men and therefore are not applicable to people of color. As a result all the laws in this country need to be rewritten.

Most gun owners laugh at anyone who calls that magazine ´high capacity´.

We know it as ´standard capacity´.

Also, magazines and clips are two different things. A magazine feeds ammunition into the firing chamber. A clip feeds ammunition into magazine. Some magazines are detachable, as is the one displayed in this story. But other magazines are internal and therefore cannot be detached from the weapon. Hence the need for a clip to load the magazine.

It´s important to know the difference.

I agree with the Must Read nominations. I was shocked and upset, however, by Mark´s elucidation of the sad and bizarre examples of Good Samaritans arrested & charged by nitpicking do-gooders and judges with no commonsense.

Perhaps after four years of watching The Won, and those in his regime, trample over and ignore the Constitution… why wouldn’t jurists of his inclinations assume they can do the same?!

Reminds me of the quote by Cornelius Tacitus (55-117 A.D.)--"Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges."
"The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

In the late 69´s the Air Force was developing the radically new F-111 for combat. A few were sent to Vietnam for penetration missions of North Veitnam to test its new ground hugging radar, which theoretically facilitated high speed runs at 200´ altitude. The plane and system costs were vastly over-run, and when several failed to return, scape-goats were sought. That is when I saw criminal charges brought against a General Dynamics line-worker for "Negligent Welding"

If they want or need to get someone, there are always charges they can use.

Leftists don´t even see a problem with there being different rules for different people.

Leftism is a RELIGION, not a system of critical thinking.

The abandonment of historical perspective allows for each new issue to be explored as if re-inventing the wheel.

So let´s try square wheels.....ya that sounds good !

Our Laws have reached the point where the legalists don´t even bother reading what their name has been assigned to. When we clean out the professional politicians we can clean out their laws - and start fresh. I can think of Ten Laws that were once considered a good foundation...

#16 - I have two SKS 7.62x39 rifles. One has a a non-detachable magazine holding 13 rounds. One has a detachable magazine that can hold 20 rounds. I use a clip to reload the 13 round rifle. It takes maybe 2 seconds longer than it takes me to detach the spent magazine and load a full one. But I can carry a good many more clips than I can carry magazines. Think David Gregory would understand any of the above?

Corruption Starts At The Top

To say that the Benghazi consulate attack on September 11, 2012, has blossomed into a full-blown scandal for Dear Leader Barack Obama and for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be an understatement. Much of the media attention has, rightly so, focused upon the e-mails that contradict statements by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about talking points revisions. The e-mails show that talking points alterations were instigated by top officials in the Obama administration, as well as from the State Department.

Almost 20 years ago, early in the Clinton-Rodham-Gore era, the late New York Times columnist William Safire charged that First Lady Hillary Clinton was so routinely dishonest in her reaction to the many scandal-"gates" of which she and Husband Bill were being accused as to merit the label of "congenital liar." According to that highly acclaimed political affairs commentator and author of the Times "On Language" column, Hillary´s tendency to spin, scam, deceive, and lie in her response to charges of impropriety and corruption (e.g., in Whitewater-gate, S&L-gate, Travel Office-gate, Cattle Futures-gate, Missing Files-gate, Hubble-gate,

War On Terror: As jihadists bomb Boston, behead a soldier in London and firebomb police in Sweden, President Obama has decided America´s actions have offended them and it´s time to retreat. In arguably the weakest national security speech by a commander in chief, Obama denied Thursday that our terrorist enemy is inspired by Islam — while at the same time appeasing Islamic critics by apologizing for drone strikes and agreeing to throttle back on such precision bombings, and close down the terrorist prison at Guantanamo. He vowed to wind down further military actions in the war on terror,

The Dots Already Lead To
Obama In The IRS Scandal

Abuse Of Power: Any scandal investigation that expects a "Eureka!" moment, a White House e-mail, or Oval Office smoking gun will be misguided. In fact, the dots are already connected directly to the president. Barack Obama is not foolish enough to have a tape recording system hidden in his desk. And his administration staff are not careless enough to send one another incriminating e-mails. If the president was behind the IRS unlawfully harassing conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, we can be sure the communications were all sotto voce and in persona, like any good Chicago political operator.

Press Freedom: The president worries about the "chilling effect" of leak investigations as his attorney general signs the warrant labeling a Fox News reporter as a violator of the Espionage Act. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. ´I am troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable," President Obama said with a straight face in a speech Thursday at the National Defense University. "Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs." Indeed, investigative reporting should not be a criminal offense — just ask Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, whose digging unearthed Watergate.

First Amendment: Even Barack Obama´s cheerleaders are gagging at the latest news of spying on reporters. But will they also understand that this is just part of a much broader attack on freedom? The president told Ohio State graduates three weeks ago to tune out those who warn that "tyranny is always lurking just around the corner." Since then — pardon our paranoia — the news has been thick with warnings. First was the revelation that the Internal Revenue Service had been targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny. Next came the news that the Department

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
