THE LONELY LIBERTARIANS: A HELPFUL, IF ELEMENTARY SUGGESTION
Written by Don B. Kates   

[Preface: On looking over what I have written below, it occurs to methat readers may think I am either being humorous or just dissinglibertarians. NO! I am being perfectly serious in pointing out a hugeproblem for people whom I generally like and respect.]

For decades I have known libertarians, some quite well. As a group theyare highly intelligent and articulate w/ interesting, provocative andoften persuasive, ideas. Many are computer geeks.They are almost all male and often very lonely. The loneliness isbecause the vast majority of females of comparable intelligence andinterests will not give them the time of day. Note: I do not mean thesewomen disagree w/ them or dislike them. The women consider themuntouchables.

NRA/CRPA SUBMIT LETTER OPPOSING GUN CONTROL ORDINANCES BEING CONSIDERED BY THE OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL

Tomorrow evening at 6:00p.m., the full City Council of Oakland ("OCC") will consider and vote on whether to adopt amendments to three ordinances that impact the rights of lawful gun owners in that city. (See proposed amendments)

The aggressive package of amendments is the Legal Community Against Violence’s ("LCAV") most recent attempt at pushing its gun ban agenda locally, while pushing the "envelope" of the legal doctrine of preemption as outlined in the Fiscal v. City and County of San Francisco case (which limits the authority of local governments to regulate firearms and ammunition). LCAV’s last attempt to push these ordinances was in San Mateo County where they failed, likely as a result of NRA/CRPA litigation threats and the enormous public outcry by pro-gun rights supporters, especially those from the Calguns community.

LATEST UPDATE: TUDESKO IS REINSTATED, EXPULSION REVERSED

Today, the Glenn County Board of Education reversed the decision of the Willows Unified School District and Principal Mort Geivett and reinstated Gary Tudesko at Willows High School. This represents a victory for law-abiding gun-owners, particularly young adults who wish to enjoy their rights, over nonsensical "zero tolerance" policies.

Tudesko was represented by NRA/CRPA attorneys Chuck Michel and Hillary J. Green of the Long Beach based  law firm Michel & Associates, P.C., who filed an extensive brief with the Board of Education in support of his appeal.  You can read the brief submitted by NRA/CRPA and the facts of the case below.

UPDATE: PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE HELD 1/22/10: "NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION AND CALIFORNIA RIFLE & PISTOL ASSOCIATION ASSISTING DUCK HUNTING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WITH APPEAL"

Click here to view the Notice of Press Conference.

The NRA and the CRPA Foundation have joined forces under their California Legal Action Project (LAP) to provide legal assistance for high school student Gary Tudesko in his fight to be readmitted to Willows High School. Sixteen-year-old Tudesko was expelled on November 19th for having unloaded shotguns in his pick-up truck that he legally parked on an off-campus, public street near the Willows High School campus. The high school is in a small rural community near Sacramento. The unloaded shotguns were in his truck because he had gone duck hunting in the early morning hours before school. The case has garnered significant national media coverage as an example of zero-tolerance policies run amuck. (See article in Chico Enterprise Record; see article in  Sacramento Valley Mirror ; see article in  Valley Mirror ; see news article in Chico Enterprise Recordsee David Workman article; and see Fox News Video Interview of Tudesko and his mother.)

ARIZONA: NRA WINS RIGHT TO DEFEND HUNTERS AGAINST LAWSUIT SEEKING TO BAN LEAD AMMUNITION

January 14, 2010

Phoenix, Az. - Judge Paul G. Rosenblatt has ruled that the NRA has a right under federal law to intervene in a lawsuit filed, in the plaintiff’s own words, as part of a campaign "to ban the use of lead bullets[.]" NRA will now be able to defend hunter’s rights against the claims of extremist environmental groups that filed the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed January 27, 2009, by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), alleges that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (BLM, FWS) are illegally mismanaging federal lands in Arizona. CBD’s lawsuit claims that California condors in Arizona are becoming ill or dying as a result of eating lead in scavenged game shot by hunters using lead shot or bullets. Based on that claim, CBD contends BLM and FWS are violating the Endangered Species Act by allowing hunters to use lead shot and bullets in areas where California condors may feed. CBD also contends BLM and FWS violated federal law by making land management decisions without considering the potential impact on local wildlife that supposedly results from authorized activities like off-road vehicle use and livestock grazing.
