Right questions on guns and more could complicate presumptive Hillary power bid

Put more directly, will any “Authorized Journalist” ever just up and ask Bill or Hillary “Is Juanita Broaddrick a liar? Yes or no?” [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a couple simple “yes” or “no” questions that won’t be asked – unless we ask them.

Yearning to Mandate

In his latest JPFO alert, Kurt Hofmann notes devious, calculating motives underneath all the "smart gun" surface stupidity.  [More]

Like Mike

Mike’s been around a long time. He’s a divisive figure. He’s been denounced by Bill Clinton, Rachel Maddow, Eric Holder, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Some pro-gunners don’t like him either, mostly because of his attitude. Many activists believe that gun-rights fighters should always be polite and work within the system. Those people aren’t Mike.

Claire Wolfe profiles a guy I get along with just fine.

An Expanding Universe?

If we were dealing with an administration which did not turn pathological lying into an “art form,” we might be able to treat this notice as more benign.  But the problem is that, at NOWHERE does the notice geographically limit its reporting requirement.  And, for the time being, we have to assume that it means what it says.

In spite of raised doubts, they have a point.

And their action item certainly seems reasonable and doable:
(2) Even more important, you should contact your House member and ask him or her to insure that the Science-Justice-Commerce Appropriations Bill contains language to block this illegal rule.
They make it so easy:

Now if only they'd create a utility encouraging gun owners with total crap reps to contact (and support) good reps in up-for-grabs states and districts.

Reciprocity Problems in PA

Their Attorney General has taken it upon herself to ignore the statutory limits on her power and modify - and even cancel - longstanding reciprocity agreements with other states. Recently she has made changes to the reciprocity agreements with Virginia, Florida, and Arizona, and she has canceled reciprocity agreements with Idaho and Utah. [More
The Firearms Coalition has today's Five Minute Activism Task.  Please read, do and share.

Well, that was easy:

Feinstein as Sgt. Schultz

That program “does not sound familiar,” Feinstein said Sunday. [More]

I know nuh-think!

Except how could she not?

Says the guy they were talking about:
See NSA's own document on p, 149 boasting of a program "Oversight" chief Dianne Feinstein said she never heard of...
See? (From page 61 of 108 in above-linked pdf file)

Kind'a makes you wonder what else she's lying about...and why.

Not that we can expect our "Authorized Journalists" to roll up their sleeves and start watchdogging...

The Things We Can Control

He's 15 but he's my baby. And he never stood up. The whole time he just kept getting hit and hit and he never swung back. [More]
I think I've isolated at least one-third of the problem.

Add Prozi administrators and those who acknowledge no rules and restraints preying on those who observe them, and this becomes both inevitable and a microcosm of things to come--for those who never swing back.

Not the one in Russia. The one in the People's Republic. [More]

Legal Theory

“The Attorney General’s new policy blocks individuals from exercising rights that the Legislature granted them,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney, Bradley Benbrook of Sacramento-based law firm Benbrook Law Group. [More]
What rights would those be? I'm trying to envision some long-term consequences here...

FFLGuard - What To Do When ATF Arrives

Assuming you're a dealer and it's not a "dynamic" entry... [Watch]

Some of us are less mature...even after we get warnings

But then again, they don't have me by the assets.

Yet. That I know of.

Why Grandma, What Big GUNS You Have

The better to shoot you with, my dear...? [More]

Aside from the idiotic and thuggish Clouseau "I suspect no one and I suspect everyone" attitude, check out the photo. [More]

And bridges. Don't forget the bridges.

Yes, Salish? You'd like to add something?

We're the Only Ones Double-Tapping Enough

Honest people can have honest disagreements and concerns about the Chipotle situation.

I have some reservations of my own.  [UPDATE: And Mr. Workman says others do as well.]

As do these guys:
Yeah, Haha! Fun-nee.


Here's the thing.

And here's the other thing:

Remember this guy, who also had a thing for "joking" about shooting non-LEO open carriers?

Like I want these guys out there with that attitude, knowing if they carried through with it, they would likely be cleared after paid leave based on "protocol" and all the other excuses we've seen countless times when the ranks close in to protect their own.

At what point are we justified to double tap back?

Haha.

It's not like I haven't been warning their bosses for years.

And again.

Bucking a Trend

I wouldn't exactly call the guy who engineered the Clinton Rose Garden gun industry "Only Ones" suck-fest "right wing," but I guess compared to the Engels of the world... [More]

Kapo wannabe "Bronxman" in comments certainly seems like what the late Aaron Zelman called a "bagel brain."

If I Didn't Know Better...

...I'd think they were avoiding me.

We established the reporter merely transcribed.

So since I hadn't heard back from the source, I thought I'd ring 'em again:
Imagine my surprise:

I'm sure I got it right, because I clicked on their email link:
I just had a real easy question. I wasn't expecting a revolving door -- or a non-functioning official contact email.

We're the Only Ones Hot and Venti Enough

I've heard they have "handcrafted beverages" and serve "non-dairy creamers," but this is ridiculous. [More]

Being an "Only One" and all, I wonder if he had one of those guns Starbucks asked the rest of us not to bring in.  When we have them, don't the antis call them "penis substitutes"?

Over There

For now... [More]

That's not where Harry Reid's "domestic terrorists" live...

And we won't come back till it's over over here!

We're the Only Ones Amazing Gracie Enough

What do wretches like these call "responses" like this..."proportional"...? [More]

Self-Authorized Journalists

What's yours is ours.

No it's not.

Uh-oh...

Popcorn?

I wonder if they'll be able to remove it from Google's cache?
