Eastern Sports and Outdoor Boycott

Good article on this here. I am sure many of those boycotting will lose some money by doing so, but they will pick up goodwill from their customers who value their rights under the Constitution.

****Update: sometimes protests work.

New York Second Amendment Petition

If as a New York State resident you are concerned about the recent trampling of the Constitution, resulting in the criminalizing of thousands of law-abiding New York citizens, by their elected "representatives" during closed door sessions, you can make your position known by signing State Senator Kathleen Marchione's petition.

You will find it HERE.

Although Northview Diary has held a spot on the gun blog lists almost since it began, and indeed many of the nicest bloggers I have met, either in real life or via the Interwebs, arrived from there, I always felt like an impostor. My main focus has been and will continue to be farming, family, and the wonderful birds, animals, plants, and people that running our dairy brings us near.

However, the events of recent weeks have brought out the gun blogger in me I guess. How many amendments can a handful of well-protected politicians toss out the window to make political hay before people speak out? People worked hard to craft laws to protect the rights of Americans, resulting in documents that have served to do so for generations. Now a few spectacularly arrogant law-makers are hard at work tossing them out in as big a hurry as they can manage.

I see this petition as one way to let them know how many thousands of people noticed what they were up to and didn't like it much. 

Here's an interesting alternative to putting up with NYC legislators messing with your life.

Semi-auto Rifle

Had it for years. Since I was a teenager in fact. Used it for everything from killing food to taking out varmints that were after our livestock. And target shooting. A lot of that. It is btw a Mohawk 10C .22. 

Not trying to offend anyone by posting this, but there are an awful lot of people who would like to see it and all its ilk outlawed. Next time we have a rabid raccoon come stumbling up the driveway, should we use a stick instead? Frankly I am offended by that concept.

Irony

Does anyone else see the irony in a former gun-control advocate getting arrested for gun law violations? And check out his nick name...so perfectly fitting...
