UPDATE: No Sense With Census

Now this is just too far out there.

Ever have a census taker come to your door to ask about your neighbors?

Well, it looks like it happened in Memphis.

So when does Minority Report become reality?

UPDATE: From the New York Post, two more whistleblowing census workers. How many times can one worker be counted as new hires? Take a guess.

Atty General Issues Opinion On .22 Rifles

Some good news for a change.

The Office of Attorney General issued a favorable opinion Monday, May 24, as what constitutes a “copy” of a so called “assault weapon.” These firearms are subject to Maryland’s “regulated firearm” law.

The issue at hand was whether .22 caliber rimfire rifles that may cosmetically resemble any firearms defined as “assault weapons” in the Annotated Code of Maryland, Public Safety Article § 5-101, should be regulated under that section as “copies” of the listed center-fire models.

According to the opinion, a copy must be similar “in its internal components and function to the designated weapon” and “cosmetic similarity to an enumerated assault weapon alone would not bring a weapon within the regulated firearms law”.

The opinion also states that the Maryland State Police will make the initial decision as to whether the gun’s internal parts make it a “copy” of an “assault weapon.”

This is a victory for Maryland’s law-abiding citizens who use these common rifles for competition, sport shooting and home defense.

Our Rights Threatened By U.N.

The Obama administration announced its support for the United Nations Small Arms Treaty this week.

So much for our sovereignty.

Be sure to read the Washington Times article to find out what former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John R. Bolton had to say about it.

In His Own Words

Rich Not Paying Their Fair Share

According to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Her own personal opinion she says.

Yeah.

Now, if you watched Glenn Beck on this past May 3rd, you would have heard a clip of President Obama say “… I do think, at a certain point you’ve made enough money …”.

Glenn went on (silently) to list about 9 (10? Yup, Bill & Hillary) people who each have a current worth in the millions to billions of dollars.

Hillary? Well, she and her husband are $35M to the good. Oprah? $245M.
Soros? Try $14B. Gore? estimated at $100M. Andy Stern? $306K per year.
And some others.

So, are they – have they – paying their fair share, SoS Clinton?????

You know what this means, don’t you?

They got theirs, you won’t have a chance at reaching your potential.
Not if they have their say.

By the way. Define what “rich” is.

National Guard Not Armed?

Excuse me? What?

Even if the purpose of the Guard is to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, just how in the dickens are they going to do that without weapons?????

Tell me this isn’t a clip from the Sly Stallone & Wesley Snipes movie – “Step away from the drugs or you will be in trouble.” “Or else.”

I’d laugh, but this isn’t even remotely funny. Not. One. Bit.

UPDATE: And We Thought Oil Costs Too Much Already

We don’t have to wait for the bad news any more.

Say good bye to summer, folks. And for some time to come.

Congress, it wasn’t fun while you lasted. Get ready for your own ride.

Remember November.

UPDATE: And now, for something completely interesting, 76% of us think that offshore drilling is important to us. How about that?

UPDATE: I Quite Agree. Unequivocally.

This should not be happening in America.

At all. Ever. This is NOT what we stand for.

(Yes, I know I pointed to this story before. And not long ago (look back two posts). But it bears repeating, even if it’s just from another source.)

UPDATE: According to the MPD, they deny that any of its officers crossed into Montgomery County at any time.

Requiescat In Pace

This morning getting in to work, I heard part of a news story on the radio that deeply bothered me. After I got to my desk and started listening to the radio, I learned about the passing of Stephen Wright, fellow Republican and (too short a time) acquaintance.

I am still reeling from the news myself. I first met Stephen and also Rick Impallaria at last year’s Farm Fair here in Harford County. They convinced me to join the Route 40 Republican Club and made me feel right at home.

I will miss him and I will pray for his family. May the Good Lord keep watch over you.

Krauthammer is Correct

Lawless. (Indeed – our own enforcers even say it – that they will not enforce the law.)

And quoting a portion of Article 4, Section 4.

Just like it was mentioned before.
