Prohibitionists file for an en blanc review of Peruta

“They are trying to improperly influence the court,” Mr. Michel said in an interview. “The are stretching the rules to file in order to get their arguments in front of the court in the hopes that a liberal judge will get the message and ask for a vote himself."

None of them have standing. Maybe even the liberal judges on the 9th will see this for the abuse it is and slap it down...yeah I know, and pigs fly.

Connecticut Moves One Step Closer To All Out Confiscation Of Guns & Magazines

The State Police have sent out letters to those that attempted to register, but were rejected,ordering them to turn 'em in. That that was going to happen was a foregone conclusion and shouldn't surprise anyone. To what lengths they'll go to track down those that didn't even attempt to register is the next question. Oh, and what those guys will do if the police end up on their front step? [Source: Ammoland]

Dead on.

The General [1926]

In April of 1862 some Union soldiers and civilians came south to steal a train. It didn't turn out so well for them. Buster Keaton made a comedy about it from the Southern perspective. It's my favorite silent film.

Disney made their version in 1956 called The Great Locomotive Chase. It's good too.

The Union soldiers involved in the raid where the first to receive the Medal of Honor.

Probably every recent President has thought it, but how many have had the unmitigated gall to thumb their nose at the American people by saying it. He doesn't see himself as president. He see himself as king. Impeach him.
