Tyrant Presumes to Deny Your Rights

I thought their headline needed tweaking. [More]

The Battle for "Shall Issue" Is on

Considering where it is, it's a good first step. [More]

'Gun control' politician compares cops to ISIS, says he’d shoot them first

Project Vote Smart shows Chambers voted against passage of concealed carry legislation. He inserted an amendment into one concealed carry bill requiring permittees to “carry concealed the maximum number of pistols for personal protection due to paranoia and stark terror.” Unsurprisingly, he “was rated 0% by National Rifle Association (Candidate Positions on Gun Rights).” And it’s not just that he supports so-called “gun-free zones," he actively works to expand them. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a lunatic who mistrusts cops so much he wants them to be the "only ones" with guns!  With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

The Surge

I don't even have anything to say. [More]

World's Greatest Female Leader

That would explain a lot. [More]

Including the appropriateness of actions associated with Taylor Swifting.

Loss of a True Champion

Let's hope the door he looks like he walked into hits him in the heinie on his way out. [More]

And naturally, being Wayne's "true champion of the Second Amendment," he named Schumer his heir apparent.

Global Warming Causes Prostitution and STDs!

Barbara Lee said it, I believe it, that settles it. [More]

Oyster...?

Unqualified for Higher Office

I gave up my campaign after the second totally irrelevant question. [More]

Welcome Aboard ISILwings Flight 9525?

Yeah, I've read the reports tracing back to one source, and it comports with my initial instincts and suspicions, and no, I don't expect the "authorities" are all that incentivized to be immediately forthright with their findings, but we also need to be on guard against disinformation, especially the kind that appeals to predispositions. Spreading what is as yet a rumor started for purposes unknown can only erode the credibility of the messengers if it turns out to be a setup to get some to take the bait and start screaming.

That doesn't mean efforts should not be made to guard against and expose any cover-ups.

Invoking Markley's Law in 3...2...1...

At least five Americans accidentally shot off their penises since 2010 [More]
Talk about being desperate to dig up something, anything.  And talk about something bringing joy to "progressives," some so frenzied you can see their black doll's eyes rolling over to white, like the feeding-frenzied sharks Quint recalled in "Jaws."

It's Not What You Think! Honest!

Is "alarmist" anything like "extremist"? [More]

You don't think the people responsible not being able to "immediately verify the authenticity of the slideshow" because of firewalls doesn't add more questions about forthrightness? Nobody has a smart phone or a tablet with a mobile hotspot, or a laptop they can take to a place with free Wi-Fi, like Fort Bragg's Callahan Athletic Center?

So instead we get this "There, there, don't worry your pretty little heads about it" dismissal?  And aside from the pesky "alarmists," the rest of the media is fine passing on the talking points?

Say, here's an idea that could get more specific answers as to the totality of the planned operations: I wonder if they've filed an environmental impact statement...

A Fudd By Any Other Name?

It seems my use of the term has been objected to over on Facebook. [More]

Fine. If you want to proudly call yourself a Fudd, that’s between you and you. That doesn’t mean you get to unilaterally redefine commonly-understood terms. No one here disparages those who are rights defenders first who also hunt or sport-shoot, because most of us would be disparaging ourselves. Come up with a term for “sportsmen” who throw rights under the bus and support gun-grabbers as long as their hobbies get preferential treatment, and then get widely-understood acceptance of your new term, and maybe people will start using it.

Meanwhile, Inigo would like a word with you.

This Day in History: March 27

A motion was made by Mr. Bland 2ded. by Mr. Lee to go back to the first part of the report & instead of the words “levy” an impost of 5 PerCt. to substitute the word “collect” an impost &c. It was urged in favor of this motion that the first word imported a Legislative idea, & the latter an executive only, and consequently the latter might be less obnoxious to the States. [More]
Who's levyin'? We're collectin'.

I hadn't realized Jojo Krako rejoinders were that old.

Mike reminds us of another date, and while not part of the original Revolutionary period this feature chronicles, it is nonetheless important to know about and then remember.
