Zara Kessler's Indirect Donation to NAMBLA

Using the same "logic" and dot-connecting this regressive twit does, we can demonstrate that if stupidly obnoxious Zara and her Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist Bloomberg employers pay taxes, they help finance roads that sexual predators use to drive to locations where they can either molest children or escape afterward. And if they're driving a General Motors or Chrysler car, Obama's subsidizing them!  [Read]

Seriously, if we play by her rules and go full Simple Jack, we can stretch it that much now.

Sure, I realize that applies to anyone who pays taxes.  The point is, how much more of an indication do we need that the antis are desperate and grasping for any straw they can get their clutches on beyond pathetic "arguments" like this advanced by a major "news" outlet?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Reese Family Update

From the family spokesperson, via email:
Yesterday was another day of hard hitting tactics from the government ! Rick finished up on the stand. They (gov.) tried hard to show Rick wasn't being honest with them , and you could see he was answering all the questions set forth to him ! Time and again they could not prove that Rick did anything wrong !! Also that all the assets and moneys were all accounted for !! Terri took the stand later, in the day; she will continue to tell the truth again ! All the prayers are working.
Also see yesterday's GRE. A man who was rejected for jury service on the case by the prosecution left an informative and enlightening comment.

Resistance is Futile

When They Come For Your Guns . . . You Will Turn Them Over [More]

Jim Karger said it, I believe it, that settles it.

That's because he's already given his up, what with emigrating to Mexico where he eat gluten-free pancakes all day under the protection of...how do you say "monoply of violence" in Spanish?

And if you don't think you're up to resisting domestic enemies, why, Heaven forbid that you would stand up to foreign ones.

Shame on Lou Rockwell.com for publishing this defeatist, cowardly screed for cattle car riders and slaves. Just because Karger doesn't have the imagination or the guts to realize a workaround to dying on his own doorstep doesn't mean better, that is, more experienced/informed minds, aren't prepared to be a significant deterrent to tyranny, and that those who would gather up the guns don't know that they can be reached before and after a raid.

The main advantage of forcing into the black market men who wish to build arsenals is that police get a chance of coming into contact with them. [More]
Like Los Zetas in Mexico?  Yeah, let's emulate that model!
