Farewell to "No-No"

This is a blow-up of my fireplace mantle taken from my last Christmas photo. I also have a shuttlecraft ornament with "Spock's" voice recorded.

The decanter was a gift from years past, and when he was very little, younger feral son Qusay, who was just learning to grunt and kill, thought the bust's name was "No-No" because I could make the head swivel from side to side.

In spite of Leonard Nimoy being a conditioned "gun control"-embracing son of Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Ukraine (and you'd think they would have known and taught him better), and in spite of his being part of a TV series that perpetuated a "Space UN" theme, the show and the character he created are fondly-recalled parts of my childhood that remain a welcome presence to encounter in reruns.

The universe contains paradoxes, at least per our limited understanding of it.

Amnesty danger to gun rights conspicuously absent from LaPierre CPAC speech

“[T]o defend firearm freedom, we need more than just firearm freedom,” LaPierre admitted, reinforcing a recent NRA advertising campaign promoting the message that all rights are connected. “One right depends on another. They’re all cut from the same cloth of what it means to be free people.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner analysis will be ignored by most and probably anger most of the rest. Ah well, if I wanted to be popular according to what trends, I'd be rewording other peoples' stories about celebrities.

Lawyers for Lawlessness, Doctors for Death

So these quacks and sharks are interested in reducing injuries and deaths? They ought to start with the Number One Cause, instead of escalating tensions between those demanding freedom be surrendered to a monopoly of violence and those who, if forced to choose between obedience or resistance, will not go gentle into that good night.

Facebook blocks fundraiser to reunite father and son over gun connection

“Progressives” aren't content to just ban guns – there are still plenty of ideas that threaten their agenda. And while Facebook still permits advocacy “as long as it doesn't lead to the sale of any weapons,” the way things are going, it’s not all that hard to imagine such groups labeled “right wing extremists” and worse in the future.

Trying to Track Down a SC PX Ammo Pull

Got this email I'm trying to check out, but I have no contacts to ask:

[X] is stationed at Fort Jackson South Carolina. [Y] just contacted me and said that the PX there has pulled all 5.56 ammo from the shelves. She asked the PX personnel why the ammo was pulled, she was told "because they had to". I don't know of any ongoing recall. Is there another known and/or logical reason for such a policy, and is this new?

I can't even figure out which facility to call.  I messaged these guys.

If you have any suggestions or know anybody who can verify, please share them in comments. Also, it would probably be a good idea to see if this is more widespread than one PX in SC.

UPDATE: Still have not verified, but just got this:

Was told that this involves all military retail sales, by 'executive order'.

Nullifying What, Exactly?

Arizona Senate Committee Passes Bill to Nullify Federal Gun Laws [More]

Sounds good, doesn't it?

Except our friends at Nevada Firearms Coalition just issued an email caution:

Even if this sounds great on the surface, IF your legislature has included federal law under the state law, they become state law, and the nullification is moot unless they go into the state law and amend those parts out. For instance in NV, the definition of a handgun is

“3. “Handgun” has the meaning ascribed to it in 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(29).”

This laziness of the law writers has two negative effects. 1. It makes federal law state law 2. If the federal law changes, the meaning and intent of state law changes.

NVFAC is recommending against any wording in proposed laws that references USC. We are asking lawmakers to use the wording within the code they like and DO NOT cite the actual code.

So AZ and other states, check your statutes and if they have cited federal code, your law to nullify federal gun laws is ineffective.

Dirt Biking

He was asked, along with other members of the team, to lead the motorcycle brigade at the very front of the parade. Moutsos said he "felt uncomfortable doing what he considered celebratory circles with other motorcycles leading the parade because of his religious views" and asked to be placed somewhere else at the event. "It is unquestionably my duty as a police officer to protect everyone's right to hold a parade or other event, but is it also my duty to celebrate everyone's parade?" [More]

This Day in History: February 27

Reports are freely circulated here, that there are dangerous combinations in the army ; and, within a few days past, it has been said, they are about to declare they will not disband until their demands are complied with. I trust these reports are not well founded, and that the army will exercise, awhile longer at least, that patient forbearance, which hath hitherto so honorably distinguished them. To you it must be unnecessary to observe, that when once all confidence between the civil and military authority is lost, by intemperate conduct, or an assumption of improper power, especially by the military body, the Rubicon is passed, and to retreat will be very difficult, from the fears and jealousies that will unavoidably subsist between the two bodies.

"prohibiting the use of night vision technology and drones or other unmanned aerial vehicles in the hunting or taking of wildlife."

That said, there seem to be plenty of ways this could be abused to harass citizens who wish to practice their skills at night for purposes other than taking game.

Great on point comment by Carlos Perdue in response to a serial disruptor/troll:

Orwellian lick jobs like you are what make it Bizarro.

It's Obama who is now pretending to hold America's national security and immigration enforcement hostage to his illegal amnesty. Of course he has no intention of preventing terrorists and illegals from coming in. Quite the contrary, he is attempting to give amnesty to both and pave the way for more. It's Obama who is refusing to fund the DHS until he gets the rubber stamp for DHS to further subvert the law, defecate on the Constitution, and undermine the USA. Obama could fund DHS tomorrow if he didn't insist on abusing national security for the Democrats' illegal, treasonous agenda.

Republicans are willing to and are trying to fund DHS immediately, without paying ransom by rolling for Obama's illegal, treasonous acts and agenda. It's Obama & the Dems who are "shutting down the government" etc. unless they get their ransom.

Don't be coy, Lickter. You know this is all about a coup d'etat, to import tens and hundreds of millions of 3rd worlders and other future Democrats to permanently overwhelm the native born citizenry's voting control of our country, as they already have in California.

There is nothing I can add to this. It needs no further comment.

An Exaggeration

The result is that gun violence appears to be four times more frequent than it really is. [More]

There's that refusal to use the "L" word again.

Weasel-Wording with Rob

I did not have high hopes approaching Sen. Rob Portman would produce results. I see his machine hasn't changed my opinion by the response I got to my approaching him to do something about ATF's latest ammo ban proposal.

Here's what I got back:

My reply:

Now try being actually responsive to what I wrote you about instead of having your staffer pick an approximate self-serving boilerplate reply from a category menu. Care to give me something unequivocal related to my reason for writing, instead of this squishy, say-nothing BS?

Read the damn message I sent you. Are you going to do anything about ATF's proposed ammo grab? Yes or No?

At times like this, I wish I had a baby I could hold up for him to kiss, just to restore my easily-manipulated faith in his deserving high office and power.

Then again, maybe I'm wrong about him just being self-serving. After all, look at his most recent tweet:

Well then, I'm convinced.

An "Erroneous" Claim

How the hell does telling someone you were in the Special Forces when you weren't qualify as "misstating ... erroneous ... incorrectly stated ... inaccurate ... mistake"? [More]

There's another word that seems more fitting, one that starts with an "L" that I don't see here. I guess that's another example of "AP Style."

So naturally, the "progressive" Opposite Day position is "We take him at his word," because after all, "mistakes" will happen.

Terrorists abetted by Mall of America gun policy

It’s also curious that fortunate Americans would value consumerism over unalienable rights secured with blood, powder and steel, submitting to foreigners who forbid the exercise of their right to keep and bear arms -- instead of refusing to surrender on that point and just shopping someplace they're respected. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the food court seems as good a place for clueless beneficiaries of untold sacrifices to surrender the last vestiges of their freedom and dignity to foreign invaders as any...

Stop the Threat: "Shotgun Robbery"

Mike the Gun Kapo's Bottom Line

[P]hysicians should continue to ask patients to immunize themselves against gun violence by getting rid of the guns. [More]

That's what these hive insects want. Everything else is just deceptive noise-making.

I was on in Hour Three. The discussion we had during the last segment of that hour previews the Gun Rights Examiner piece I'm getting ready to post this afternoon, about the Somalia-based Islamist terror group Al-Shabaab and its threat on the "gun-free" Mall of America.

UPDATE: Make that "Three."  Looks like the rights rapists are trying to forcibly insert themselves without lubrication again.

A Known Health Risk

You know, eating baseboard paint. [More]

Maybe that's what got into the "Molly."

Funny, Wesleyan U is generally so careful about banning some kinds of lead...

You have to wonder about well-heeled "progressive" parents shelling out this kind of dough to put their children under such influence. Perhaps the term "making a sacrifice" doesn't refer to the money in this case.

Exactly What Was Prescribed

The footage shows Radcliff beat Gillenwater on the draw and fire a shot that hits the robber in the chest. A second shot hits Gillenwater's gun, knocking it to the floor. As Gillenwater runs off camera, Radcliff fires a third shot that hits the suspect in the abdomen and brings him down. [More]

He was lucky.

Not because he was prepared and capable, but because he wasn't working at some place like Walgreens, where corporate risk managers place their gutless policies above the lives of employees and customers.

Be It Resolved

As you can imagine, every county that joins us in sending a message to Salem represents another powerful roadblock to the gun grabber’s plans. And every county that steps up makes the commissioners of others ... that refuse, look more and more out of touch with the people who elected them. [More]

Oregon's Jefferson County will be discussing a pro-gun resolution on Wednesday. Those resolved to doing something constructive could let the commissioners know what's expected of them.

Think of the type of total evil creature who would do something like this, and what else he'd willingly -- even enthusiastically -- do.
