And Remember, with "Progressives," Every Day is Opposite Day
Damn Gun Owners!
Baltimore is not unique in its suffering; crimes are spiking in big cities around the country. [More]Wait a minute -- those aren't places most NRA members live -- those are all Democrat strongholds...

Two Los Angeles gangs have entered into a contest betting on who can kill 100 people in 100 days. [More]Assuming this isn't hysterical BS, they couldn't have picked a better place for it than what is essentially one big "gun-free zone," courtesy of "May (Not) Issue" edicts.
We're the Only Ones Unshelled Enough
Michigan Officer Shells Out $35,000 For Open Carry Stop [More]No, the insurance provider did. It doesn't sound like there'll be any repercussions to the oath-breaker at all, what with Flint Township government maintaining that depriving citizens of rights under color of authority is A-OK with them, and they only settled because it's the cheapest way out.

A shop owner is targeted to be robbed as he exits his business. His regular routine has been observed and now he appears to be an easy mark. [More]"Stop the Threat, tonight on the Pursuit Channel...
The Company He Keeps
In 2010, Jeb was named one of the founding directors of the Bloomberg Family Foundation, established as a tax-exempt foundation to advance the vision of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. [More]I believe the country would actually be better off with Hillary, because at least then the Republicans would be pressured into putting up nominal resistance to executive treason, whereas with Bush 3.0, they'd all be spinning the sellout by telling us what their "reasonable compromise" bought us.

Forgive me for being suspicious, but laying the flags on the ground instead of displaying them on sticks doesn't strike me as the act of someone with a special reverence for "heritage." I'll have to reserve judgment until such time as the perps are caught-- if they ever are.
This warrants an FBI joint terrorism task force response and widespread permanent damage to historical monuments does not?
As long as this madness is going on, allow me to stir the pot and make sure our One Percenter friends from Hollywood -- the ones stirring plenty of pots of their own -- have some skin in the game.
Yo, race-obsessed collectivists -- want some cheap fun that's sure to get you more publicity than taking a shovel-full of dirt from the grave of a Confederate general most people have never heard of?

Giving the Finger
I saw a comment on my latest TTAG piece that made me recall a story I haven't thought about in decades:
[M]y 6th grade teacher was sometimes called “4 and a quarter finger man” from a old shop incident.A college buddy told us about his shop teacher who was cautioning them on how he lost his finger in a negligent table saw incident, and in his demo proceeded to cut off another finger.
Killer Asteroid
And we're all equally threatened. [More]
Not being from Nevada is hardly the issue -- neither is Nemesis Bloomberg, and if he succeeds, when he's done there, he'll be moving on. Would you rather fight a war "over there" or let the enemy advance to where you live?
And yeah, I get "I Will Not Comply" -- Things don't have to get to that point any more than they need to advance geographically, but they will unless gun owners help supply the front line fighters.
Put another way, if an asteroid is approaching, isn't it better to deflect it when a simple nudge will be enough, or is it better to wait until it enters the atmosphere

We're the Only Ones Purposeful Enough
You Can't Stop the Signal
Which doesn't mean Prozi swine won't try:
Our circulators were illegally harassed by employees of the Oregon Democracy Fund at the Lane County Fair, stopping them from gathering signatures on our recall petition. That clearly violates established Oregon law and we want the Secretary of State to investigate and fine them for each person they stopped from signing our petition.If you think about it, in principle, that's really no different than this.
Love for Sale
We’re grateful that leaders like Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are standing with women that are exploited rather than pimps and Johns. [More]Hey, what happened to "a woman's right to choose"? Oh, wait, I see: the female provider of "services" should not be liable, but the male purchaser should be, along with the male business manager?
What if the purchaser and business manager are a Jill and a Pimpette -- don't they also have a right to choose?
And how do they factor -- what do they call it now,
Gosh, this being a privileged "progressive" with consistent positions is more difficult than I thought.
Speaking of Meryl, where's that movie she and Harvey were gonna make? Did approached investors ask him if he was f-ing crazy?
* Beats me what it means. I read the definition and still don't get why the term is needed. It sounds like it's because people are afraid to say "normal."
The Power of "No"
Put simply, liberal elitists don’t like the fact that, at the end of the day, an armed citizenry can tell them, “No.” [More]Bravo. Good piece. Nice to see the concept getting wider play.
Those on "our side" trying to appear "reasonable" for the media, and calling "I Will Not Comply" activists "extremists," need to understand that at the end of the day, when their lobbying and lawsuits have failed to provide redress, the new paradigm is kicking in.
Except, as observed before, civil disobedience is not really new. It's just that gun owners have long been conditioned to limiting themselves to signing on to form emails, voting for compromised candidates and opening their wallets. That's changing.
To those unsure of if massive noncompliance can result in real, fundamental, 180° political change, I have one word: Prohibition.
Administrative Relief for All!
With "relief" being what we used to call "welfare"... [More]
Time was, invaders staying were called an occupying army. Typical, though, reframing it as "administrative relief."
Thank goodness this will have nothing to do with that "single issue." Ever. Right?

What If Another Attack Happens Where There Are No Oath Keepers?
It would be especially ironic if, after being characterized by the government and media as “security threats,” the departure of Oath Keepers protecting the protectors is perceived by true security threats as an exploitable target opportunity.

Keeping Up with the Kardoucheians
Do you appear to be in your early 20’s and have been affected by gun violence in some way? Has this experience caused you to become an advocate against guns? If so, we want to hear your story! [More]Unreality TV at its most insipid...
Fortunately, the type of lumps that immerse themselves in Bunim/Murray crap will provide a ready source of softer-target cannibal food when TSHTF!
It's telling though -- take their skank-infested "Bad Girls Club" -- please:
If the cast members engage in violence towards each other or break other rules, they may or may not be evicted under the show's policy, which is enforced by the producers. Security guards apparently live in the house behind the scenes as they jump into camera shot to break up the many violent altercations that break out on the series.So Bunim/Murray's execs have the wherewithal to hire security when they perceive a need. And their 'reality stars" are self control-challenged, violence-prone headcases. How ... unsurprising.

"Autonomous"
Noting the definition of the word and the certainty that this will enable all kinds of further tracking and control, and further noting that for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, for some reason, I can't get an Inigo Montoya quote out of my head..

‘News Report’ Tries to Stir Up Anti-Gun Demand Where Little Exists
The real story, such as one exists, is that a non-event centered around – how many were there, three? – women demanding “gun control” was all the support the Bloomberg Moms could muster in a major metropolitan area following a series of highly-publicized acts of criminal violence. The other story is that a major local television “news” organization sent a crew out to give free publicity to Bloomberg’s machine...

Still Anonymous
Gun used in San Francisco pier shooting confirmed to be stolen federal agent’s ... The unnamed federal agent reported the weapon stolen after someone broke into his personal vehicle and stole a bag with his service weapon inside... [More]Why is he still unnamed? Especially after reading:
The gun turned out to belong to a Bureau of Land Management officer who reported it stolen after leaving it in the front of his vehicle.My original concerns stand:
It’s not like there’s no legitimate public interest in identifying the agent or ranger (depending on the story you read). Who is this person, what were the circumstances that led to a gun being left in his/her car and stolen, and are there any prior indicators in this individual’s employment record? Oversight seems especially relevant in an anti-gun town like San Francisco, where aside from a handful of connected elites, traveling around the “sanctuary” with a gun is the exclusive province of “Only Ones” ... Do you doubt, had a gun been stolen from your car and then used in a murder, that not only would your name be widely spread (and smeared by gleeful antis painting you as a typical, irresponsible ammosexual), but that you’d be lucky to escape serious criminal charges, and crippling civil ones as well?The media, which has no interest in being a government watchdog on gun issues, is not going to do its job and find this out for us. That means if there's any chance, it's dependent on pressure coming from somewhere else -- like me and maybe you.

Christie’s Bullying Tirade Deflects from Having to Answer Tough Questions on Guns
Pointing out bills he did not support does not tell us what he does favor. Likewise, dismissing a 1995 campaign ad by asking if his questioner had not changed his mind in 20 years does not answer what Christie changed his mind to. What he avoided with all the skill of a seasoned political animal, was explaining – unequivocally — where he stood on the right to keep and bear arms and how he has shown leadership promoting the Bill of Rights. [More]Want to see what a bully does when confronted? He hides and hopes no one notices. Want to prove that for yourself? Send Christie some questions and watch him ignore them.
Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts!
The "pro-gun" position is strengthening NICS? So we should be arguing prior restraint as a legitimate power for those whose only clear instruction on the matter is "shall not be infringed"? [Watch]
Dershowitz and his ilk want it all. Giving them anything is equivalent to throwing a scrap of flesh to circling jackals on the assumption they'll leave you alone.
Some of us aren't backing down from "Repeal existing Intolerable Acts."
And until that happens, defy them.
Pay Day at the Department of Pre-Crime
Paying -- do we call them "juveniles" or "teens" these days? -- not to commit violent crimes ... you can't make this stuff up. [More]

But they further modeled their approach on a program "evolved" from Ceasefire? Good one!
Me, I think the sidelined (read "not caught") gangbangers ought to organize and demand a raise. With Opposite Day "progressivism" in play, that would mean they'd go back to "work" until their demands were met.

Another State Backs Down After ‘I Will Not Comply’ Uproar
“[I]f you ignore the telephone blitz you are currently experiencing, it will be my honor and my pleasure to lead ‘I Will Not Comply’ armed civil disobedience actions numbering (at least) in the hundreds of participants at every Alabama Welcome Center in the state, as well as in front of your headquarters,” Vanderboegh told Cooper after outlining some of the actions he’s led defying edicts in other states. “So, I hope you save us the trouble and reverse this dangerous and deadly policy.” [More]Defiant resolve works. More "moderate" gun advocates would do well to remember that before condemning the actively disobedient as "extremists." Pandering to the media in an attempt to appear "reasonable" won't keep the antis from sticking that label on them at the first opportunity.

After all, if Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination (Haynes) mean you can't force them to register guns, it follows they can't be required to affirm to authorities under penalty of perjury that they were in violation of laws prohibiting them from possession.

Alabama Department of Transportation bans firearms at rest stops. [More]I have a feeling they're going to wish they hadn't done that.
I called ALDOT to verify this and ask for public comment, and they told me their guy will call me back.
Excuse me, I have some more phone calls to make.

The Seven Percent Solution

Another self-control-challenged "gun control" MILM (look it up) taking things in her own hands while keeping abreast of the situation ...We of course know what the solution is, but aside from dwindling islands of sanity, Maryland's "progressive" electorate is, on the whole, too collectively corrupted, ignorant and stupid to embrace anything but Opposite Day" manipulation.

Mike's Birmingham Comments
Unlike the antis, I've decided to leave comments active -- at least we may get to see some true "progressive" tolerance emerge.

Obama Gun Grab on Social Security Recipients Part of Long-Term Citizen Disarmament End Game
Ever impatient to force their will upon those they would rule, “progressives” aren’t content to wait for Constitution-minded gun owners to die out... [More]My latest Oath Keepers offering notes a new way to expedite tyranny.

If I Truly Believe
David Codrea I have read your article on the Chattanooga Shooting and Jihad. If you truly believe what you wrote then I must ask you why you are not screaming at the top of your lungs that we must revitalize that specific power "To repel Invasions"? The Constitution is clear in this; Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15, along with the hundreds of corresponding state statutes that originally gave force to that authority. As Adm. Yamamoto warned the Japanese command that they could not invade the US because, "There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass". Imaging the benefit to society in general. We have now approximately 750,000 so-called law enforcement that is in no way capable of curtailing crime or the build up of gangs. With a revitalized Militia, we would have every able bodied person who has regular duty armed at all times. Crime on the streets and in the halls of the legislatures would diminish, and we certainly would not have millions of illegal aliens roaming our streets. Are you one who truly wants to keep the US free, and safe?First of all, I've been beating that drum for many years. From an article I wrote about George Bush appointing an anti-gun Homeland Security Czar after 9/11:
Promote and utilize, rather than prosecute, armed citizen volunteers training and acting in concert for homeland defense, that is, provide leadership to restore the Constitutional militia.I can come up with all kinds of examples from before and after that, but then again, so can anyone with a burning desire to see them, a search engine, and more spare time than I do on their hands.
As for repelling invasions, that's a non sequitur in terms of the article I'm inviting a discussion on. The Chattanooga killer was a naturalized citizen, welcomed into this country, all done "lawfully" in accordance with policies instituted by Congress, the very people tasked by the Constitution "To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions; To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
The Republican establishment is as much behind the "invasion" as the Democrats. I can neither envision nor expect they will be motivated to totally reverse their immigration stance and then perform a duty they have institutionally ignored without a compelling "or else," especially with the powerful twin incentives of cheap labor and votes their masters are whipping them with. Lord knows the few of us raising the "pathway to citizenship" warnings aren't getting any help from the vast "single issue" majority.
As for my screaming at the top of my lungs to make anything happen, I could only wish I had that kind of political juice. The fact of the matter is, I can barely persuade a handful of readers to share links now and then, or to send an email. The minute I bring up donating a dollar or two to worthy causes, support drops exponentially. "Profiles in apathy" is another recurring theme I've addressed over the years without making much progress at inspiring change.
I don't have high hopes that most gun owners would willingly submit to the rigors and enforceable discipline of well-regulated militia duties and endure long term risks, hardships and sacrifices. History would seem to bear that out even in revolutionary times. Hamilton even addressed continued militia service in Federalist No. 29, when he acknowledged "Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped."
As for Yamamoto's "rifle behind every blade of grass," sorry, but I advocate against repeating and propagating unsourced quotes. And as for questioning my sincerity ("if you truly believe/are you one who truly wants...?"), if my challenger truly believes that, his time would be better spent where such doubts don't come up.
There's always going to be people who think I need to do this or that, or say something differently, or emphasize something else. If I do what one person wants, someone else will think I should have made a different choice.
There's nothing stopping anyone who's dissatisfied with that from doing things their way.
