Not My Job

[More]
I mean, it's not like being able to comment is in the vital interests of the American people.

I wonder how Donald Trump would react to one of his hotel guests asking staff for extra towels and being told to go find a maid…?

Ah well, guess I'll go find a maid...

Gun Ownership, Self-Defense, and South African Farm Confiscation


Are South African Genocide Fears Just White Racist Paranoia? [More]
A bellwether of sorts...? A plan...?

We're the Only Ones Bloody-Handed Enough

Douglas Cioni, an 18-year veteran of the force, was unloading his gun to clean it when it discharged and a bullet struck one of his hands, township spokesman John Hagerty said. [More]
Well if they've already concluded "it discharged," don't look for an "investigation" that actually wants to find anything that could assign responsibility.

Word to the Wise

The Tallahassee, FL gun show runs this week-end at the Leon County fairgrounds. Use caution making face to face private sales there. The antis are really stirring the legal kettle here in Leon County.  [More]
Who knows, you might run into one of the Hero of Medicine's minions...

We Apologize for the Inconvenience


[More]
Do they also apologize for denying citizens their mandated-by-law right to comment?

I note clicking on the "Public Comments" link to see what's been submitted thus far goes to comments submiutted for the advance notice that ended in January.

How many comment posters have been discouraged now, and how did this happen on an issue of such vital interest to gun owners?

Will the comment period now be extended to make up for the time it has been closed?

A 'Progressive' Dilemma

Wenliang Sun, 26, came to the attention of UCF Police after university staff reported a “dramatic change” in his appearance and behavior — including spending nearly $70,000 cash on a new car “out of the blue” — the university said in a news release. [More]
Those are triggers for deportation but being part of a gang or worshipping at a radical mosque are not?  And does that not prove a need for through vetting of foreign nationals?

Ah, but here's the real reason for all the hubbub:
When asked whether he wanted to harm himself or anybody else, Sun said no, but police were concerned that he referred to his weapon as a “sniper rifle” instead of a “hunting rifle,” Beary said.
I'm more concerned with "Only Ones" calling their "weapons of war" "patrol rifles."

Malcolm in the Middle

A simple idea has motivated her work: “For me, trust in the common man is such a basic principle. Few governments actually allow it. They want to keep their people vulnerable and disarmed. [More]
There is no more truly egalitarian power-sharing arrangement. No wonder Opposite Day "progressives" are so against it.

And good write-up.  There are  many on "our side" who have never even heard of her, let alone read her work.

Saint Emma the Disarmer, Pray for Us

For too many liberal activists and their media allies, the answer has been to instantly elevate victims and survivors to the status of civic or secular saints, whose victimhood supposedly renders their opinion on public affairs unimpeachable. [More]
Hey, who said Godless cultists couldn't be religious fanatics? State worshippers make the best kind!

Vacancy

Judge Stephen Reinhardt, a judge on the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and a champion of liberal causes on the court, died Thursday at the age of 87. [More]
The question for going forward is will the blue slip prevail?

Making Lemon Out of Kool-Aid

Police said Lemon stated that he hates white people and couldn’t wait “for the panthers to give the OK and a revolution begins because he will execute every white man he gets his hands on.” [More]
Gee, and this is a guy employed by and working with "progressives" who ooze self-loathing guilt and smarmy virtue on matters of race, tolerance and inclusion...

Ahhh...


A Flat-Out Macroaggression

Guided by MU counselor Nicholas Jenkins, the forum began with a discussion of how microaggressions happen, the various types of microaggressions, and how there are targeted microaggressions by whites towards minorities.  [More]
I guess that's code for looking for things to get wildly indignant over and making mountains out of molehills.

Yeah, those kids look like they've got plenty to gripe about.

Second Amendment Advocates Should Reject DOJ ‘Bump Stock’ Infringement


These are non-negotiable terms of surrender, dictated by a “pro-gun” president, a “pro-gun” attorney general, and enabled by our “gun rights leaders.” [More]
Imagine what the "gun lobby" reaction (and attendant fundraising frenzy) would be if the same "proposal" had been dictated by President Hillary. And imagine what future Democrat majorities will be able to do with the "precedent."
