| As North Carolina legislators move to close public access to firearm permits, some sheriffs are already refusing to hand over the records. Following a public showdown with the sheriff in Cherokee County, a local newspaper editor quit last week after his records request – which was denied – made him the target of death threats. The county has the state’s highest rate of concealed-handgun permits. In Gaston County, Sheriff Alan Cloninger responded Friday to a newspaper’s request for gun-permit records by withholding names and addresses of permit holders.

Comments:
Our new Republican legislators are moving swiftly to shut these records down to the media that want to publish concealed weapon ownership.

People...this nation of ours. Our homes, our children and everything we hold dear to us is under assault. Judas sold out Jesus for 40 pieces of silver. The question is, how much will we allow these politicians sell our liberties, our rights and our freedoms for?

George Zimmerman is a notable case of the media starting the propaganda war against anyone that uses a gun for self defense. Liberals do not believe that self defense should be legal and are starting a campaign to make anyone that does or even might use a gun for self defense into a murderer.
This has been done in England, where self defense, even in your own home with "excessive force" - such as using a gun against a burgler with a knife - being a serious crime that is punished by prison time.
The very concept of self defense is at risk. The banning of certain firearms or normal capacity magazines as "unnecessary" is a part of this whole propaganda war.

If a death threat came from a phone call, can´t it be traced? If from an email, isn´t there a trail? My cynical side tells me that liberals make up lies about death threats so they can play the victim, and help further the narrative that 2nd Amendment advocates are irrational.

Even if the death threats are genuine, it´s too bad if we have to use their tactics against them. Too much at stake here to let them get even the smallest foothold in this issue as our very survival may well require such measures. They can start whining when someone actually follows up on it. In the meantime , I don´t mind them being a bit nervous about taking our freedom.

Sheriffs may eventually be the ones organizing and deputizing the militia. I don´t believe that it´s a far out idea.

Never threaten. It puts the target on guard.

I promise liberals that if they are under assault, I will not fire my gun in their presence, under any circumstances. In fact, I will just move along. That should make them happy.

Nowhere in the second amendment, which also applies to state governments, does it allow them to require you get a license to keep or bear arms. In fact, it specifically says, "...shall NOT be INFRINGED". Your right is being violated under color of law if you must ask the state government for permission to exercise your right or face attack at the hands of government thugs financed by your tax dollars.

#2 the answer is because a lot of the people who moved here are from NY. Our taxes are going up, our politics have changed, and the state will never be the same.

I just got off the phone with Army Master Sergeant C. J. Grisham, a serving American soldier and veteran of the the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, who recently was illegally disarmed by the Temple Police Department while out for a walk with his son. “We live out in the country in Texas, near Temple,” he told me. “My son and I were on a ten-mile hike so that he could earn his hiking merit badge – it’s the last badge he needs to become an Eagle Scout.” But half way into the hike, Grisham said, “a police officer pulled up.” Initially, he was “cordial” and he “asked what we were doing.” Grisham told him.

Dozens of volunteers armed with clipboards and voter registration forms gather at President Barack Obama's field office here every day. Their mission: Fan out across the city seeking new voters in this rapidly growing state. "Are you registered to vote at your current address?" asks Douglas Johnston, a volunteer wooing voters outside the county courthouse. "Do you know about early voting?"

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
