Something Must Be Done!
Ignoring Bloomberg and Moms Demand Action, Kroger Continues Record Growth
So much for phony polls with loaded questions designed to produce predetermined propaganda campaign results. So much for social media, where the Bloomberg-funded and promoted hashtag #groceriesnotguns has only been used about a dozen times so far this month. Maybe having “snot” in their message wasn’t the best tactic. [More]Corporate extortion victims take note -- profits come from the grassroots, not from the AstroTurfers.
Taking Out Walls
Guns are part of American recreation and culture, and many people want them for home defense. My grandfather, of blessed memory, grew up in Pennsylvania and was part of that culture. He hunted regularly and belonged to the National Rifle Association. He told me he canceled his membership when the NRA insisted on the right to own assault weapons. He explained to me, "If you shoot an assault weapon in home defense, you'll take out a wall of your house. If you shoot a deer with it, there will be nothing left of the deer to bring home. It just doesn't make any sense." [More]He forgot the part about heat seeking ammunition cooking them from the inside...
With the resources available to learn the subject matter, there is really no excuse for this, other than Kapo Mezler is an ignorant, lazy and foolish man.
Wrong Again
Conservatives warn Ahmed Mohamed’s arrest was terrorist ‘setup’ to make Islamophobia seem racist [More]That's not what I warned at all, Travis Gettys, but you know that.
Ditto for characterizing a group that exists to uphold the oaths its members took to the Constitution as "anti-government" -- that can't be done except by Opposite Day Prozi liars.
Tell you what, though -- why don't you take my challenge and try to take that metal case with a Frankensteinian circuit board apparatus past the Secret Service and let us know how the experience turned out for you.
Opposition to Campus Carry Relies on Defenselessness and Offensive Stereotypes
People who behave responsibly don’t suddenly undergo a Jekyll-Hyde personality change by crossing an invisible property line. Someone who can be trusted to carry a gun across the street from a Florida university won’t suddenly morph into an agent of destruction simply by entering a campus. [More]You'd think even an academic would be smart enough to figure out defenselessness gives predators an advantage. You'd think.
Maybe there's something else going on here...
Some, But Not All
A federal appeals court has struck down as unconstitutional some of the District’s handgun registration laws, including requirements that gun owners re-register firearms every three years and are limited to registering only one pistol per month. [More]But:
The court did uphold other parts of the law, including the requirement that gun owners be fingerprinted and photographed.Because those obviously aren't infringements. Right?

Unsportsmanlike Conduct
He reportedly did not suffer serious injury, but did need 10 stitches after the game. [More]I think you guys just contradicted yourself there. Plus we can't know his attacker's name because he's a minor? And he was flagged for a personal foul but not ejected?
How is this not assault with a deadly weapon...?
Here's an update -- just as I suspected: Fritz Moncion, 18, is a good young man from a good family who was reacting to a cheating attack and racist oppression. besides, we all make mistakes.
He reminds me of me in High School, what with my part time $1.35/hr. job at Burger Chef handed to me solely because of privilege.

Beyond the "Single Issue"
WarOnGuns Correspondent "Laocoön" sends some reminders in re Carly FioRINO and the "greatest civilization in the world," sleeping with the enemy, and management by disaster.
In true "progressive" Opposite Day fashion, Ms. H-1B Champion (when it was her turn in the barrel) and outsourcer, the head of her Super PAC is also president of the Orwellian-named "Americans for Job Security."
