To the Victor Go the Spoils



But first you need to enter the arena. [More]

Boulder Opts for Treason

The Boulder City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to advance a ban on the sale and possession of assault weapons, bump stocks and high-capacity magazines in the city. [More]
And they're still "justifying" it with the same old lies.

I wonder how many people they're willing to have armed enforcers kill to make this happen.

Well at least you know who to thank.

You can do it here -- for starters.

Generation Gap

Riley claimed that his generation — the iGeneration (aka Post-Millennials) — are more pro-Second Amendment than their parents... [More]
I'd have to see numbers and even if so, the bar just ain't that high.

Words Have Meaning

Gun safety activists prepare to put their power behind shareholder voting at Sturm Ruger [More]
So what exactly qualifies them to be competent to advocate for "gun safety" laws?  Do the "Authorized Journalists" who so credit them know?

Tech Question


Every so often I've started seeing that grey horizontal bar with the T-Rex at the top of my blog.  Anybody know what it means?

The Price of Cowardice

Andrew Pollack, the father of a Parkland shooting victim, spoke to Neil Cavuto Tuesday about his lawsuit against a school resource officer who didn't enter the school during the massacre on Valentine's Day. [More]
I've got to use a Facebook link because Fox News denies access to Blogger links.

Offhand, I'd guess a combination of "no duty to protect" and "qualified immunity" will render this a symbolic gesture.

Once is Not Enough

Second Anti Rights Ballot Measure [More]
It will never be enough for control-obsessed sociopaths.

But No One Wants to Take Your Guns

Organizations such as The American Academy of Nursing, The American Nurse Association, The American Psychiatric Nurses Association, and the American Public Health Association, have rightly called for a ban on firearms. [More]
How many divisions do they have?

Leftophobia

The dominant force in America and many other Western countries today is fear of the left. [More]
As Frank Herbert wrote, "Fear is the mind-killer."

Fear is a choice. Choose to be bold.

The reason "they" hate an armed citizenry so much is because it terrifies them.

The Shape of Things to Come

Oops – Facebook “Hate Speech” reporting button accidentally went live [More]
Between that and crowning himself the arbiter of credibility, Emperor Zuckerberg really is showing what he's all about.

A 'Progressive' Idea


Race-based exclusion... [More]

It's a Democrat tradition at "educational institutions."

Another 'Staunch Supporter'

Mast, a Republican from Florida’s 18th District, received an A rating and financial support from the National Rifle Association during his 2016 campaign, when he defeated the mostly self-funded Freeman by 23 points in the GOP primary. Freeman placed third in that race. [More]
And here's no surprise.  Good thing it has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Thanks, Fairfax!

So are you going to do the right thing this time? I've been asked if sending a contribution to the Mark Freeman campaign can bear fruit and that could depend on if Chris and Wayne support, ignore or torpedo it.

We're the Only Ones Unlicensed Enough

Court Docs: Former deputy arrested for selling guns had been warned by ATF [More]
24 guns over two years?

Are we sure this isn't another John Shipley case?

#PardonGeorge

DAD IN AMERICA TOLD HIS SON HAD TO DIE LIKE ALFIE—BUT HE RESISTED WITH GUNS AND HIS SON LIVED [More]
But this valiant father and example of what it means to be a man and an American -- everything the domestic enemies are trying to marginalize, demonize and stamp out -- is still a felon/prohibited person?

Houston, eh?

Gov. Abbott: We're told you're "a staunch supporter of our Second Amendment rights."

President Trump: We're told "the choice for gun owners ... is clear."

Pardon this man.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Infringed' Is

Is It *Really* Impossible To Get A Gun License in NYC? [More]
Not at all.

Oh, you mean for the rest of us...

Somos los Únicos que Escoltan Suficiente

Mexican Police Escort ‘Migrant Caravan’ to Border for Crossing Attempt [More]
So it's a conspiracy  to violate U.S. sovereignty and law sanctioned by the Mexican government.  So is our government going to do anything about it to recover damages and exact a penalty?

If You Only Knew the Power of the Dark Side

Dick’s Sporting Goods, which announced in February it would no longer sell rifles to anyone under the age of 21, hired three Beltway lobbyists to lobby Congress for gun control, according to federal records reviewed by The Federalist. [More]
They have chosen to become the full-blown enemy. Of course, some of us already knew that.

If you know any gun owners who still shop there, shame them as Fudds and ostracize them if they continue.

Any manufacturer who continues to supply them with anything firearms-related is choosing to be a collaborator giving them aid and comfort.

Since he's already distinguished himself, perhaps Mr. Hornady would once more take the kind of lead for which gun owners appear appreciative.

Out of the Park

Suspect charged in Ballpark Village killing, still at large [More]
But...but...but...

We're the Only Ones Enticing Enough

Masek, 60, is charged in Barron County with child enticement-sexual contact, attempted second-degree sexual assault of a child and using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime. [More]
Has that dating etiquette question ever been resolved?

Centers for Dissemination Control

Unpublished CDC Study Confirms over 2 Million Annual Defensive Gun Uses [More]
We talked about this here a week ago. At the time, word was Kleck had pulled his study to do some recalculations after finding out CDC's work was based on selected states instead of being based nationally, or some such...

Then as now, other priorities pulled me away. Anybody know if this has been resolved -- and have a link to prove it?
