Bank stiffing porn stars more than happy to service ATF

What’s unclear at this point, particularly if JP Morgan Chase really did disassociate itself from sex industry performers over concerns of what they do, is if the bank will also now shut off the card for ATF Houston Director of Industry Operations Russell Vanderwerf, arrested in a Metairie hotel after deputies discovered “The door had ... a circular hole padded with duct tape. [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes if JP Morgan is really concerned with nasty actors doing filthy things, there’s a group they’re having relations with that refuses to CleanUp.

Government supremacist uses hate term to push citizen disarmament

That fits right in with using the term "gun supremacists" in his latest attack on Georgia's peaceable gun owners, and it's no coincidence this professional wordsmith selected a word broadly associated with racism. The antis have been trying to peg gun owners as haters because it's to their advantage to convince a critical mass of the public to view us as evil. [More]
My latest JPFO Alert notes a familiar tactic of the antis: Lie and smear.

Does that mean the Bloombergians are dropping all their other demands?  Once I prove myself to Erika, can I practice Constitutional carry anywhere?  Will she and they embrace "shall not be infringed"? Will they join in condemning bans on semi-autos and magazines, and advocate a repeal of the ban on private ownership of post-'86 autos?  Will they demand an end to "gun free zones"?

FBI search for domestic menace fails to account for own threat


It really seems a case of "Who will guard the guards?" along with "The inmates are running the asylum."

And a government that is out of control is fixated on controlling everyone and everything, right down to the most ridiculous level of details. [More]

I guess it doesn't strike anyone that telling someone with a rifle to "Back away" a few feet wouldn't really make anyone any safer? I'm sure once they pass this, predators will fall all over each other rushing to comply. [More]

In fairness, I once told an unsavory-looking character -- and admittedly, that was my subjective judgement -- to "Back off!" and even held out my hand with a stiff arm and used the command tone to discourage him from getting within striking range.  And I was already running through my next potential moves if that didn't work. So I think any of us have the right to warn against intrusion into immediate personal space and to react if that's ignored.

But barring a clear boundary violation, it's tough to see how prior restraints like what are being discussed here aren't overkill. It sounds like when the woman said to keep away, they did.  It's the ones who don't that should concern us, and passing silly rules won't stop them.

Whatever Supreme Court decides in gun carry case, infringements will continue

While different legal minds and "informed" court-watchers are nattering on about judicial review, and whether intermediate or strict scrutiny should apply (and perhaps even contesting how many angels can dance on the head of a pin), what the High Court will not address, should they elect to hear the case, are the clear words those of us, without robes and law degrees and political connections with attendant obligations, understand instinctively:

According to the sources, the official allegedly spread the word that whomever took the scope could place it in his unlocked car with no questions asked. The sources claim a top official in the department then walked in with the scope a half hour later. [More]
So much for "core values."

Something Will Happen

"We are a nation of laws, not of men and women.” [More]
Yeah. Who do these people think they are, Jeh Johnson?

The guy who said illegals have "earned the right"  to vote in more "progressive" edicts?

Or Eric Holder,  Mr. Selective Enforcement?

Yeah, somethings' gonna happen all right...

Inspector Javert

Unbelievably, Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney Russ Hauge, a Democrat, has still not stopped his witch hunt, even though his waste of millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money for almost 15 years has resulted in no convictions against Carter. [More]

One Man's Terrorist...

I'll be (once again) joining Joe Newby this evening at 7:30 p.m. Eastern to discuss Harry Reid's "domestic terrorism" charge, and the implications for gun owners.

The show broadcasts from 4 to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, 7 to 9 Eastern. Adjust as appropriate for your time zone and click here to listen.

I Thought We'd Just Been Through This...

Seen on CSGV's Facebook page:


Again they're wrong. I don't fear them taking our guns. I don't think they can. And if they fear us taking their children, well, paranoia is a sickness that says a lot about its sufferers.

I'm still not all that certain we should have pulled back on this.  As I said to Jeff Knox in "comments":
Jeff, I am not convinced either, but if I am going to publicly pin it on the Bloombergians, proof is needed. While I have not seen them crowing about this, which favors the suspicion that they would rather not call attention to the source for reasons of their own, the standard I am compelled to use is one of reasonable doubt. As such, the presumption is "not guilty." Perhaps your contacts and investigative skills will strike pay dirt, in which case you will have a scoop that will draw much deserved attention for TFC. I know I'm going to keep looking. As the links I provide above show, assuming guns fire rounds with casings is something we have seen in the past.
The latest development there is  "Everytown's" communications director has officially denied responsibility. Still...

By the way, I noted the name of the "artist" who claimed credit for this latest graphic, and found someone with the same name and same proclivities, although I can't be certain without further confirmation...

How Do You Say "I Hate to Say I Told You So"...

If It Works for You, Fine

There's no need for that belligerent "load of crap" bluster. I've never been a proponent of "one size fits all," so if racking the slide is how you choose to play, go for it. [More]

I typically have responded to this scenario under the assumption that one or more intruders are in my house. Personally, I have no intention of volunteering/transmitting intelligence on:
  • The fact that I am even there.
  • Where I am located in the battlespace.
  • Estimated size of defensive forces.
  • Information on preparedness and response capabilities.
If you feel otherwise, I won't dissuade you. But for me, if some goblin is in my house, I don't want him to even know I was there, let alone where I was and what my preparations were, until he wakes up in hell and they tell him.

I Came to Casablanca for the Waters

The EPA is asserting that all ground water, whether temporary or not and regardless of size is part of the “waters of the United States.” [More]
Well, I'm on the ground in the United States, and I'm 60% (+/- a few) water.  I assumed I owned it.

Perhaps I was misinformed?

We're the Only Ones Trolled Enough

“Here the #NYPD engages with its community members, changing hearts and minds one baton at a time,” a user of Occupy NYC’s twitter handle wrote under a picture of cops struggling with protesters. [More]

A Turning Tide?

NRA surprisingly credited with crafting new anti-gun laws

The tides may be turning within the National Rifle Association: according to a new report, America’s largest gun-lobbying group has helped advance three bills recently that limit firearm ownership, and more could soon be added to that list. [More]

Why the surprise?

Where you people been...?

Plenty more where that came from...

A Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist

How Chicago Became ‘Chiraq’ [More]
Well, according to "Authorized Journalist" Michale Daly, of Biden's "legitimate news media," and the Garry McCarthy quotes and observations he emphasizes, it would appear to be because of guns.

Considering who's doing the "reporting," that's hardly surprising.

We're the Only Ones Trippy Enough

[Watch]
Not only is George Bermudez a big strong man, he and his fellow force initiators are also the "Only Ones" presumed desirable to be armed as he goes about attacking multiple students.  Something about superior trustworthiness, judgment and training, all of which we see on display.

Speaking as someone who has taken an unexpected fall recently due to severe illness, and who is still recovering from the resulting broken ribs and back injury, I can tell you firsthand the force being used here could really screw somebody up, and is even potentially deadly. And for what?

Why, here's "Braveheart" now:

On "paid leave," I see.  Wonder what would have happened to a student who decided to trip him, or to a father who decided to protect his son or daughter from assault by a grown man (not really)...

We're the Only Ones 'til Death Do Us Part Enough

A Cook County sheriff's office correctional officer apparently shot to death his wife, a Chicago police officer, inside their Southwest Side home Sunday morning before turning the gun on himself, authorities said. [More]
Working some of that old McCarthy magic, I see.

Why, if this could happen with highly trained professionals, just imagine how murderous and suicidal you and I must be!

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Hey, at least they didn't get in a fight like their East coast counterparts.

Armed American Radio Redux

Making National news at the Bundy Ranch in NV, Sheriff Richard Mack returns to AAR, the Godfather of self-defense, Massad Ayoob discusses the armed lifestyle, Rob Pincus, David Codrea, George Hill, Seanto and more!
During the segment I was on (Hour 3) I mentioned a case, but because I hadn't expected the conversation to go in that direction, I had a senior moment and got cases mixed up--I was doing Google searches for the rest of the program, but couldn't remember and find the right one--anyway, when you hear me say "Emerson," replace that with "Bean."
