Police and lawyers agree: Don’t talk to the cops!
These videos have been floating around the internet for ages. In part 1, a former DA turned law school professor and, in part 2, an experienced police officer talk about reasons why it may not be beneficial to talk to the police.
Without further ado, and with neither endorsement nor disapproval: Don’t Talk to the Cops
Mr. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and a former defense attorney, tells you why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police.

Looking for National Gun Rights Organizations? You Have Options.
A while back, a member of the GunLink Forums posted a message asking about pro-gun organizations that might not be quite as well known as others. There are a number of national gun rights organizations which, for various reasons, some gun owners feel contempt for. Whether it is because they feel that these organizations have made too many compromises with anti-gun politicians, don’t get enough done, send too much junk mail, ask for too much money or for other reasons, these gun owners are left with a bad taste in their mouth and a feeling that they don’t have anyone on their side who can get anything done for gun rights.
There is hope, however. There are numerous national organizations fighting for our second amendment rights and many, many smaller regional or local organizations fighting on a grassroots level. No matter what your personal feelings are about a particular organization, there is almost certainly one out there with which you can align yourself. Throwing your hands up in frustration and walking away from the fight is exactly what anti-gunners want you to do and it will allow our rights to be trampled on even more than they already have been.
Take a look at these national gun rights organizations and see what they have to offer: Continue reading

Specifically, the bill makes permanent Continue reading

Nothing raises the hackles of dictators, tyrants, and oligarchs more than the idea of a substantially armed citizenry. Disarming present or potential opposition has been the fundamental game plan of murderous rulers since Ancient Egypt and Rome.
From the more complex mass murderers like Adolf Hitler, and Mao, to tin pot lunatics like Idi Amin, the key to seizing power, and then maintaining it, has always been a disarmed opposition.
It is sadly ironic that the Founders of this nation had a better grasp of the concept “never again” than most modern Continue reading
Texas Event Draws Attention to Suppressor Legality
First Annual Silencers are Legal Shoot to be held at Elm Fork Shooting Range in Dallas, TX, April 28th 2012
Joshua Waldron, CEO of SilencerCo, recently announced that the company would play host to The Silencers are Legal Shoot this spring. The event, which will take place April 28, 2012 at the Elm Fork Shooting Range in Dallas, TX, is part of a larger Silencers are Legal campaign. The campaign, begun in 2011, seeks to raise awareness about what SilencerCo calls “a booming, yet marginalized US industry that is battling for its constitutional rights.”
In the United States, suppressors (often referred to as “silencers”) are regulated largely by the 1934 National Firearms Act. Although they are generally legal for individual ownership (following the required application and taxation process), some states such as California, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont do not allow Continue reading
