U.S. Flag being forced down in View Harbor Subdivision

Today, at 3 pm in View Harbor Subdivision in West Knox County, an Air Force veteran is being forced to quit flying the Stars and Stripes by the petty potentates of her HOA. The address is:

1017 Cross Meadow Rd, Knoxville, TN 37934

If yo can spare a few minutes on this busy Valentine's day, come out and show support for Delia Foster, a 24-year Air Force veteran, as she strikes the colors with the help of the American Legion.

The story was reported by Channel 10 and Channel 8 last night:

http://www.local8now.com/home/headlines/Veteran-Upset-HOA-Wants-Her-To-Remove-Flagpole-291929621.html

The Congress and the Tennessee Legislature should act on this clear​ freedom of expression issue. Any lout is Constitutionally protected if he wants to burn Old Glory, but someone who signed a contract to give her all, up to and including her very life; then gave 24 years for her, can't fly Old Glory!

​Please come out and support Foster.​

Vermont ‘gun control’ push draws organized opposition

David Codrea reports on the state that has "Constitutional Carry", since, like for-ev-er!

It has worked well for them. They don't need more stinkin' gun control laws, either.

Tennessee 2015 Guns in Parks bill gets media attention

WBIR-TV interviewed Mayor Ralph McGill and me on the issue. McGill feels he must maintain control of citizens who:

• Have no felony convictions
• Have never been convicted of domestic violence
• Have no history of mental illness, aclohol or drug addiction
• Have passed an FBI background check, with fingerprints on file with the FBI
• Have passed mandatory training in firearms usage and applicable law

Yet Farragut does not provide any semblance of security at Farragut parks, or along greenways. Felons are free to come and go as they please.

How long has it been since you have seen any armed security at Farragut parks?

POTUS has heard the truth

Yesterday, Darrel Waltrip was the keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast. In attendance were POTUS, FLOTUS, the Daila Lama, and other dignitaries.

Waltrip gave an excellent address, in which he claimed the exclusivity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)



Consider Jesus's claim, and Waltrip's statement. If true, they are true to the exclusion of all other roads to salvation.

What path will you follow?

American Sniper

We have seen the news of record box-office receipts of the movie American Sniper.

Great, thought-provoking movie.

Guess what the gun-ban activists will go after now.

Guess what the next surge in rifle shooting will be.

Guess what sort of rifles will be in short supply for a while.

The answer is

Precision Rifles

DPMS RFLR-308

- and remember the banners, unlike Goldilocks, can never find a gun that is just right!

1. This gun is too accurate (deer gun, target rifle)
2. This gun is too big (fiddy cal)
3. This gun is too small (Satiddy night special)
4. This gun holds too many bullets (AR-15, Glock 17)
5. This gun is painted with camouflage. (with lead-free paint)
6. This gun has a pistol grip. 
7. This gun has a flash suppressor.
8. This gun has a bayonet lug.

And hunter friend, if you thought your thutty-thutty was safe, think again. Stand together, or . . .

Je suis humaine

In some jurisdictions, "Je suis d'Artagnan"  or Je suis arme is not permitted by those who maintain a monopoly on violence(government). David Codrea, writing HERE. notes the appeal by French Jews for some "designated shooters" to defend the community. Of course, those designated shooters won't have a crystal ball, so in effect the community members will still be on their own.
