Beating the Drum


That's not a quote from anyone but you, and you know it. [More]

I suppose telling your readers about making it mandatory rather than a free market choice would spoil the narrative.  Like you've been a longtime champion of free markets.

And I'm still working on evidence related to the curious timing in California.  This ain't over by a long shot.

Really.

ADMINISTRATION LIMITS EXPORTED MAGAZINE CAPACITY OF 30 ROUNDS AND HIGHER

NSSF has learned today that the U.S. State Department has made a “policy decision” to limit the export of 30 round and higher capacity magazines solely to government, law enforcement and military end users. The policy is expected to be posted to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) website this week. NSSF will provide updates on this policy development as more information becomes available.

The mask is off.

Cox Wants Him Fired

See, if that happens, and he's out of the way, there will be no incentive for Republicans to go after him, not that they've demonstrated the guts to go all out anyway... [More]

Me, I want him tried.

Five Minute Activism: Florida

If you're from there, and/or know someone who is, do and/or share. [More]

We're the Only Ones On Time Enough

And why wouldn't he be, with an $8,000 watch? [More]

And no, of course I can't resist:
He went to Jared.
At least now we can see how their "Only Ones" policy is working out for them...

Juan for the Road

During an April 28 interview on The Lars Larson show, Fox News' Juan Williams told a story about his wife's car being stolen and her saying, "I wish I had a gun." [More]
Sorry, sweetie. Your husband would rather you and every other American be killed.

One That Needs Verifying

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]
So "Stand and Fight" is just a fundraising slogan?

We've seen the dangers and abuses of Lautenberg, and the dangers and abuses of mere accusations in lieu of being adjudicated guilty.

I'm not automatically trusting either RT of HuffPo. What I am suggesting is finding out exactly what this is about, and making sure no deals are being cut behind closed doors.

Brady Campaign-endorsed Illinois politician facing child pornography charges

The irony is compounded because the very concept of gun control centers on a belief that ordinary people cannot be trusted to control themselves. [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner notes when some gun-grabbers talk about “For the children” and then cite numbers like “6, 7, 8,” they’re not necessarily talking about magazine limits – unless they’re referencing a different kind of magazine...

A "Non Racist" Solution

Race-based segregation? Really? [More]

And there will be no demands to sever ties with this guy?

Good thing I don't give a damn about "spectator sports."

Stormy Weather

In Bunkerville and in Pinson... [More]

Boy, Mike ain't kiddin' about the latter.  We'll need to wait to see what we can learn about the former.

I just tried calling him and no answer.  If I hear anything, and if he has anything he needs me to pass on, I will.

In the mean time, I suppose a prayer from those so inclined to offer one couldn't hurt...

So Much for "Repeal Existing Gun Laws"

“We strongly support Project Exile which we implemented in Richmond, Virginia. We were pushing and still are pushing for the federal government to do that all across the country.” [More]
Why?

Besides, it was never all you've cracked it up to be.

And Richmond still only rates 7 out of 100.

So I repeat, "Why?"

And what other existing gun laws should be enforced?

For instance, what should be done with these guys?

And where does federal authority over any of this even come from?  Section, please?

Armed American Radio Redux

Sunday's program, following our return from the NRA Convention.  I joined in during Hour 3.

"Congress Shall Make No Law..."

[I]t is critical to ensure the Internet, television and radio are not encouraging hate crimes or hate speech that is not outside the protection of the First Amendment ... [More]
What, are we gonna have virtual approved, monitored and controlled "speech" zones now, like BLM recently tried?

And let me guess--this will be subjectively and selectively enforced, right?

How very "progressive."

My suspicion is this will never make it out of committee -- once I get a bill number and see this posted on THOMAS and GovTrack, we'll get a feel for the odds.


Les Miserables

The "selective enforcement" persecution under color of authority continues. [More]

How does that song go?

Better Tracking

Of violence-prone haters? [More]

Really?

How much better tracking do you need than to have the fricking guy working for you?

What a suck-up tool this Comey character is.

Not an Option?

We'll see about that. [More]

I mean, if Tommy Thompson could avoid it...

We're ze Only Ones Penetrating Enough

Two elite French police officers were charged Sunday with raping a Canadian tourist in their Paris headquarters in a case that has sent shock waves across France. [More]
Ah...my great bundle of sweetness...mmm..mmm...mmm...

I had a difficult time selecting a good representative teaser quote. Just go read it all. [More]

A Long Way to the Point

You have to slog through a lot of bleating and mooing, but the last sentence says it all--although not in a way I think was intended, because the reflection should be entirely on the rabid prohibitionists. [More]

This Day in History: April 29

The intelligence which he gives corresponds with that given by major Maxwell—and the boats collecting at Cuyler’s-hook seem to indicate an intention of their designs on both sides of our advanced parties. I have written to captain Pray to move all his spare boats up to King’s ferry—indeed to make that his principal rendezvous, keeping only his manned boats down the river. [More]
