Daily Defense


I'll be joining Armed American Radio host Mark Walters this afternoon at 4:30 Eastern to talk about whatever the heck he wants to bring up.

Go to the AAR website and click the "Listen Live" icon to join us.

RNC Convention Open Carry Petition

I agree, everyone should be able to. [More]

That said, my money says this is a ploy by conveniently anonymous antis designed to embarrass the GOP, the candidates and NRA with charges of hypocrisy (and in many cases they would not be wrong). The rhetoric parody is pretty much dead on.

They know they won't have a problem getting gun owners to sign, and the more who do, the more an agenda is served. They also know there's no place in the country big enough to host this where the venue owners would allow it.

It's a pretty clever "Gotcha!" But I'm betting the fake egalitarians behind it don't want open or concealed carry anywhere, unless it's by one of their precious monopoly of violence enforcers.

Xenophobia

When "progressives" level that charge, just remember that for them, they're either liars or fools, for whom every day is Opposite Day.

Charging "xenophobia" is conflation and misdirection. It's how they smear those advocating standards for which foreigners gains entry and for how many can be accommodated.

What "standards"? Establishment-serving ones, like now?

The government has a pretty clear directive for what its policies are required to accomplish.

ALL of its policies.

We're the Only Ones Traceable Enough

Gun used to shoot 3 Chicago cops traced to sheriff's deputy [More]
See...?  I told you we needed "universal background checks" and to sue the manufacturer!

The Deep State Takes Care of Its Own

Merrick Garland, Richard W. Roberts, and the Kenneth Trentadue Murder... [More]
The corruption and cover ups are astounding. I urge you to make this the one thing you read and share today. And then ask yourself why a true investigative journalist like this has to struggle to get by on his own...

I would also urge candidates Cruz and Trump to pledge to order the FBI to release all information Jesse Trentadue is seeking. I ask you to join me in asking them.

Sun Sets on British Empire in Portland

"The fact is that the English language is not the only aspect of British colonialism that lingers today." [More]
And a special "Thanks for Being Gutless!" shout-out goes to Ristretto Roasters. Now there's "customer loyalty"!

I don't suppose the protesters would be up to driving down the coast for some chocolate chip pancakes at Sambo's, a longtime fixture and favorite in "progressive" Santa Barbara?

A Willie Horton of His Own

John Saul Miller was dying of cancer when the convicted felon managed to commit two armed robberies last year after being pardoned by Virginia’s governor. [More]
So naturally, McAwful focuses on making sure potential victims for his catch-and-release program are as handicapped from defending themselves as he can arrange...

We're the Only Ones Going Postal Enough

[P]lain clothes NYPD officers who were offended by Grays’ protest of their driving skills demanded his identification. [More]
I guess the guy is lucky, since Liberty-Lynchin' Patrick has declared "lifting a finger" to be a death-defying act.

A Million Here, a Million There, Pretty Soon You're Talking Real Votes

Feeling G.O.P. Peril, Muslims Try to Get Out Vote [More]
Which means they'll vote overwhelmingly Democrat.  Which means, along with "pathway to citizenship" illegals, they'll enable anti-gun legislation and judicial appointments.

Right, Grover? Right, Ted? Right Glenn? Right, Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Reason, CATO, The Independence Institute, Red State...? Right, by default, NRA/"single issue" excuse-makers...?
