Obama Assurance on Guns Leaves Open Question of What He IS Out to Do

No more, please.

So how about, just so everyone has a clear picture of the end game, the “gun control” advocates define what it will take to satisfy them,  and what “laws” must pass for them to not only stop pushing for more, but to join in condemning and resisting new infringements? [More]

How much “gun control” will be enough?

Fed Up

Kasich: 'I’ve about had it’ with Carson, Trump [More]

Yeah, well some of us have had it with RINO sellouts on guns and amnesty citizenship.

The Mouse that Whored

Former employees speak out about Disney's outsourcing of high-tech jobs [More]

It's a small world after all!

An Idea I Could Warm To

Put 'em in the cooler. [More]

Easily Shocked

Probably because it doesn't say anything besides the same tired, old and boring bitching and moaning about the government not funding anti-gun propaganda "science" you and the "Hero of Medicine" engage in ad nauseam. Why would you assume I keep tabs on anything you do, or care unless I'm dragged into it, like when I found out you were spreading lies about me.

Noting that for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, that actually figures coming from an "ethics" specialist.

I remarked at that time I couldn't believe I was still living in Wintemute's head rent free, and it looks like you still think of me as well. I didn't even remember who you were until I went to your article and it suddenly clicked.

So no, your "shock" is no reason to share your link, or even critique it.  About the only question I have isn't even for you Paul, it's for people who matter:

Does anybody know any men who actually say "vacay"?

Nine Out of 10 Reconquistadores Say "Ryan!"

Thanks goodness this doesn't have a thing in the world to do with that "single issue."  [More]

Besides, some can share isolated anecdotes about someone they've seen who doesn't fit the mold, and others can offer platitudes, so there's obviously no need to pay attention, let alone actually do anything.

Right?

Gollum to be Impeached? Precioussssss...!

Andrea Shea King noticed a striking resemblance. [More]

A "Progressive" Idea

Merge ATF into FBI. [More]

But...but...but I thought that was a "conservative" idea, coming from an NRA-ILA "Defender of Freedom" (one who made some wonderful statements about "hunting and fishing," by the way).

Professor Quigley -- what do I do...?

I recorded a podcast a few days ago that will be posted soon, centered on my "The Devil You Know" column.

Judge Convicts Bosworth

Cell phone video showed the day Bosworth was arrested, and many questioned if he had broken any laws. [More]

The criminals are the ones violating the supreme Law of the Land.

If you're not familiar with the story, or as a refresher for those who are, I talked about it here and in other links at the bottom of that piece.

Kit Lange, who had a falling out with Bosworth, shares why that doesn't matter, because he not only had a right, but a duty to do what he did.

I haven't been able to keep up with the story as much as I'd like, mostly because there's only one of me and no shortage of priorities, but if you're interested in keeping informed, I'd start on Anthony's Facebook page.

Dangerous and Unusual Weapons

The phrase “dangerous or unusual weapons” has long been used by American courts to justify prohibiting possession or carrying of particular classes of weapons. Examination of the history of this phrase shows it was neither as ancient nor as broadly prohibitive as many assume. Analogies to First Amendment case law suggest that the authority of the government may be more limited than D.C. v. Heller (2008) indicates. [More]

Seeing as how just about any physical object could be dangerous if used as a weapon, but the rarity of such instances would make that unusual, I should hope so.  Take chairs, for instance...

Obama: "Please Do Not Believe This Notion That I'm Out To Take Everyone's Guns Away"

Well, I don't necessarily believe that you can, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't like to. [More]

Virtual Life Everlasting

Mr McKeown has dubbed the idea ‘Preserved Memories’ and claims that people would be able to construct a reality to avoid ever having to say goodbye to loved ones. [More]

In other words, pay this fraud big bucks to come up with a high tech way to bolster self-delusion and denial. But why limit things to avatars? I'm thinking all the virtual stuff could drive some combination of this and Teddy Ruxpin...

Technonecromancy -- what a "progressive" idea.  Of course it might be cheaper just to bury the dearly departed in the Pet Sematary...

Meanwhile, Over at the Indiana Jones Warehouse...

Officials estimate that 1.6 million paper documents and other records arrive every month from defunct firearm dealers who are required to ship their business records, some barely discernible, to this Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives facility for eventual inclusion in a digital repository. [More]

Oh, really...? That's the plan?

Maybe before they get busy trying to undermine what the representatives of the people have told them, they'd use those resources to ... oh, I don't know ... come up with a clear set of searchable non-conflicting rules and opinions or something?

The thought strikes: Julio Gonzalez never seems to be around when you really need him.

They're Selling Like Heisser Kuchen!

Migrant crisis: gun sales in Austria surge amid fears of refugee crime [More]

So let me update my question by making it more general: Would you send a gun to defend a European home?

And yeah, I know-- feel free to correct my Google Translate German.

We're the Only Ones Chucking It All Enough

Those are nunchucks, police-certified, meaning they are legal only for police to use... [More]

Of course we don't trust you with sticks (I must say I'm surprised to see Arizona on the list).

Hey, it's not like we don't have legal precedent:

Jews (§ 5 of the First Regulations of the German Citizenship Law of 14 November 1935, Reichsgesetzblatt 1, p. 1332) are prohibited from acquiring. Possessing, and carrying ... truncheons...

Curiously, most origin stories I've seen say nunchaku were developed as defense tools by peasants who were forbidden by their feudal lords to have swords, so I guess that puts us below serfs in the hierarchy.

Ignorance is Bliss?

I dunno -- sounds to me like Bliss knew exactly what she was doing, as did all the Only Ones involved. [More]

And probation, especially with prosecutor concurrence, sounds to me like an incentive to keep quiet about others who also know exactly what they're doing. What do you think they'd say Miss Scarlet here deserved if she'd covered up for a suspect who bound an "Only One," beat him and shoved a pistol down his throat?
