We're the Only Ones Worth a Thousand Words Enough

University of Wisconsin police say they've arrested a federal agent for taking photos in a women's restroom at a residence hall. [More]

I'm shocked.

How can a university in this day and age still promote hate via gender-assigned restrooms?

Why is it we know the UW spokesman's name and not his? And why didn't he follow Bureau tradition and just drill a hole through the door?

We're the Only Ones Disarming Enough

St. Louis police officers reportedly seized a rifle from the husband-and-wife lawyers filmed waving firearms at Black Lives Matter protesters last month. The officers served a warrant on Mark and Patricia McCloskey on Friday night, taking the rifle the husband was pictured aiming, the local NBC affiliate reported. The officers were told by the couple that their attorney had the second gun, the pistol brandished by the wife, the report said. [More]

I don't suppose a "special relationship" with a duty to protect now exists...?

Hear that, jackals? It's safe to move in for the kill now.

Another victory in the making for a Soros DA!

Still Not Fully Awake

 And this has put those of us who consider ourselves “of the Left” in a dangerous predicament. I am not a gun enthusiast. I never wanted to own guns, but I do — for the same reason I would if I lived in a war zone. The civil authority has abandoned the law-abiding citizens of Portland, and in so doing it has created a new Wild West in which we are each responsible for protecting ourselves from bands of roving bandits. [More]

Enemy Intel

Received via email:

"FYI. Today I listened in on a 30-minute conference call sponsored by Everytown/MOMs GSAN.

They are HIGHLY organized. This is what we face: Elected representatives are bombarded with weekly calls from people using a script.

GSAN works three sub-committees.

1. Voter Outreach
  Volunteers call MOMs members, seeking their participation as volunteers. They use automated-dialing and provide scripts. They can re-connect the called person with the office of their own elected representative. They use something they call a Hub-Dialer, which taps into a database of members. Key is pushing back on NRA-supported legislation. 

Some of the information was misleading, such as alluding to NRA's proposed legislation "making us less safe". 
Against national CC recioprocity because it reduces us to the laws of the weakest states; no acknowledgement that a concealed carrier must obey the laws of the state in which s/he is. 
Silencers. You can't hear the shots (and then know to run.)

2. Welcome Outreach
  Volunteers call new members to welcome them, using automated dialers and scripts and try to call within two weeks of membership date. 

3. Hustle Team (Texting)
  An effort involving texting messages."

Exclusive Video: Let Us Describe It to You

A Riverside gun store owner has harsh words for Sacha Baron Cohen after he says he caught the actor showing up to his business in disguise and under false pretense, and it was all caught on surveillance video. The video was provided exclusively to FOX 11. [More]

Pre-Confiscation Registration Advances

 Background checks pass in the House:

• H.R. 1446: (Smith and Fitzpatrick are the two GOP Democrats)
• H.R. 8: (This one has eight Republiquislings-- I don't have time to scroll through them right now)

[Via Roger J]

UPDATE per GOA:

While many expected Democrats to support gun control, eight Republicans joined the anti-gunners in their assault on self-defense by voting for H.R. 8. The “Hall of Shame” includes Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Christopher Smith (R-FL) and Fred Upton (R-MI). Representatives Fitzpatrick and Smith also supported indefinitely delaying gun purchases by voting for H.R. 1446.

And tangentially related:

The upcoming verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial for shooting three men during street unrest in Wisconsin comes against a backdrop of deep political divisions and expanded access to guns in the United States – factors that some fear could lead to more dangerous encounters.
