Exclusive: Freedom Is Slavery


Stanley’s trying to make the case that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is somehow responsible for violent abuses and for the resulting responses to try and secure against them. [More]
Leave it to the Opposite Day "progressives" at the ACLU to float the idea that the way to minimize police abuses is to ramp up demands for a police state.

Natural Born Democrats

Noncitizens across U.S. find it easy to register to vote, cast ballots [More]
What kind of racist would want to disenfranchise the most vulnerable among us?

Besides James Taylor...

Rough Ideas

Trudeau says he's looking abroad for ideas on curbing gun violence - Asked about a handgun ban, PM refused to rule it out [More]
Here are some countries for him...

We're the Only Ones Tossed Enough

Roswell cops fired after using coin flip to determine arrest  [More]
I understand the chief wet his finger and held it in the air to determine which way the wind was blowing before making his determination.

We're the Only Ones Trumped Enough

If the allegations are true, "the officers acted with deliberate indifference to a known and obvious danger" and violated the Trump supporters' constitutional rights," said the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. [More]
So that trumps "no duty to protect"?

I've long wondered why deliberate indifference is not raised more often.

Any questions? [More]

Besides "Why?"

Mission Accomplished!

In the first hour of Rest in Power, Jay-Z and the Paramount Network betrayed their craft, inflamed the black community, and endangered an innocent man.  And there are still five parts left to go. [More]
Consider the source.

He has a hell of a lot more reach than any record-corrector does.

We're the Only Ones Off-Target Enough

Dramatic video shows LAPD officers fatally shooting a man and the woman he was holding hostage at knifepoint [More]
And "Last week, LAPD killed a bystander during a shootout at Trader Joe's."

Get one more and they'll have a spate.

So "no duty to protect" translates into "no duty not to kill"?

$1,316,678,000

That's how much ATF gets. [More]
"Provided, [of course] That none of the funds appropriated herein shall be available to investigate or act upon applications for relief from Federal firearms disabilities..."
None of our "staunch defenders of the Second Amendment" want to cross Chuck Schumer...

We're the Only Ones Unobliged Enough

I talked about this yesterday.

It turns out that "Homeowner, 73, accidentally killed by police had shot naked home intruder who was trying to drown his 11-year-old grandson in a bathtub."

This is what happens when there is an "Only Ones" mentality about who can have a gun in the presence of the enforcers. Garry McCarthy warned us:
"[W]hen somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front."
Now we see "The officer who shot the resident has been placed on administrative leave." Any bets against this being ruled tragic but unavoidable and in line with standard department protocols?

How about against him turning this into a long term PTSD disability claim?

Polar Extremes

Cruise Line Condemned After Workers Kill Polar Bear in Self-Defense [More]
The animaladjusted environmentalcases would rather human beings had been killed.

Their "thought leaders" would rather most human beings were killed.

You are a plague.

And they are the cure.

After they neutralize your natural defenses...

Ellison Demands on Amazon Show Guns aren’t Only Things Collectivists Would ‘Control’


Disregarding for a moment that censorship of literature and music that government officials want to see suppressed is the hallmark of a totalitarian, or that book-burning is something associated with real Nazis, we should also consider the source.  [More]
Keith and his comrades have some songs meant just for you and me. For now.

Plastic Fantastic

3D-print a fully-functional, plastic AR-15, and successfully demonstrate it. The first person to do so will win 10 rounds of equally functional, 100% plastic 3D-printed .223 Remington ammunition. [More]

Because Hate Tyranny Speech is Not Free Speech

GOOGLE IS PLANNING to launch a censored version of its search engine in China that will blacklist websites and search terms about human rights, democracy, religion, and peaceful protest, The Intercept can reveal. [More]

An Idea Whose Time Has Come


Caliber control! [More]

Leave it to eggheads to conclude from a "study" that bigger holes can have more impact than smaller ones -- depending on placement, of course.

That still does nothing to challenge the requirement for a human agent.  Then again, cause and effect don't really matter when the goal is to rile up a mob.

A Numbers Game

The truth is, there is only one number that can help you understand gun violence. It is the number one. [More]
And pushing the narrative that this is a "gun violence" (that is, gun ownership) issue has bumped that up to over 35,000.

Leonard Pitts knows which numbers pay off.

We're the Only Ones Belting Out Enough

Why were three Overland Park police officers writing false seat belt tickets? [More]
Because they're criminals?

Under the Influence

Here’s what Missouri Influencers have to say about gun control and gun rights [More]
Who is it this gaggle of self-important subversives is supposed to be influencing besides useful idiots unaware that the "common ground" to be found with those demanding disarmament is generally first dug up and then filled in.

That's what happens when rights are voided based on time and place.

I'm beginning to see the significance of "The Star."

Look What Happened While I was Gone

New York Daily News to slash 50% of its newsroom [More]
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Here's to its continued demise.

The Family Jewels

THE SWEDISH Royal Family’s priceless crown jewels have been stolen from a cathedral with police currently chasing the subjects by boat. [More]
The Swedish Royal Family's...?

And if Carl XVI Gustaf had any, he would not have ceded the land of the ice and snow to invited invaders. Vallhalla, you are toast. Or naan.

So much for honor among thieves.

Besides, they've been guarding the wrong jewel, not that any people celebrating a "royal family" would understand.
