Apparently, all four political yard signs in my front yard were stolen yesterday/Thursday night.
One of mine, one for Jeff Gahler (sorry, Jeff) Ghalen, one for Preston and one for Dave Seman.
I hope whoever decided to take them is putting them to good use.
Meanwhile, take care as I am about to turn on video surveillance on my property.
See you in the funny papers.
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.

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.

Finally, what we really need to know.
Awhile back, FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) calculated what was likely the cost burden Maryland has to put up with – being a sanctuary state.
The difference? Arizona passed legislation copying the federal law into their state law, and improving on it, to deal with their – ahem – illegal immigrant problem. It appears the costs of doing so will ultimately be to Arizona’s benefit despite the nonsense boycotts being bandied about.
Let’s see if Maryland can do the same math for themselves, eh?

Ahnold no longer supports off-shore drilling.
What a shame. Where is he going to get the energy California needs now?
Gateway Pundit has more details involving what should be a real bonafide scandal.
That would be, that Big @#$% Deal where Obamacare details were kept from public consumption until after it was voted on.
Gee, I think I said something like that myself, say – around March 30.
Jim Hoft is onto something here, I’m quite sure.

The report reveals that the IRS made 7.6 billion disclosures of tax return information to federal and state agencies (up from 5.3 billion in 2008 and 4.5 billion in 2007).
Information overload?
From the comments: That’s roughly 25 disclosures for every man, woman, and child, in this country. If you group us into average family units of four, then it’s roughly 100 disclosures for every taxable family unit.
This alone looks like a very good reason to change to a Fair Tax system. Currently, this is within the house and senate as HR25 and S296.
An error was recently uncovered within the Click & Pledge donation page.
This error has been corrected to restrict contact/residence data entry to the United States.
Thank you to the person that contacted us.
That is according to Paul Volker.
“If at the end of the day we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes,” he said.
Really, Paul?
Here’s my question. Not to JUST you, but to Congress AND the Administration.
Remember the transparency promised concerning earmarks?
How about it? Don’t you agree that has to be curtailed? Minimized? Scrutinized for real worth? Denied in some or most cases? Just how much of a percentage of everything Congress spends is just earmarks? (Okay, that is a lot of questions. TRY ANSWERING THEM FOR ONCE.)
You seem to want to raise taxes just for taxes sake, Paul.
We do NOT need that, We do NOT WANT that.
We NEED you to STOP THE IRRESPONSIBLE AND EXCESSIVE SPENDING FIRST!!
Second, we need you to reduce the overblown budget.
