Unity

Not. [More]

One question: Who's the little bald commie Svengali here?

It'd be interesting to check social media, university faculty pages, "churches," etc. to ID the white guy who appears to be more than just a tolerated participant.

Don't Let the Door...

Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy has been fired by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the mayor confirmed Tuesday. [More]

He'll land on his feet. His kind always do. Maybe Bloomberg will find a place for him.

Still, it'll be popcorn-worthy if he decides not to go quietly.

NY Gun-Grabber Sheldon Silver Guilty of Corruption Charges

Disgraced former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a leader in the effort to disarm peaceable citizens, has been found guilty on seven federal counts of extortion, money laundering and fraud. Additionally the jury convicted him of trading favors in exchange for $5 million. Unbelievably, except it’s really not, his defense centered on the protest that in New York politics, everybody does it. [More]

It does kind of make you wonder what kind of idiots demand to be disarmed by criminals.

Funny. I Don't FEEL Thankful...

This year I’m particularly thankful for immigrants. In fact, I’m grateful for those who come here legally and for those who come here illegally. You should be thankful, too. [More]

I'm not even going to waste time challenging cherry-picked numbers that don't account for costs and risks. I'll simply note neither Abigail nor The Independent Institute have said anything about the impact on the composition of legislatures and courts.

They never do. They never come up with credible numbers -- numbers that can be independently validated --  to contradict the obvious conclusion "progressives" are counting on.

Sorry if you thought these people were your friends.

'Tis the Season

Florida Carry is very pleased to tell you how you can give your friends and family the gifts they really want, while saving money and giving to Florida Carry to protect your self-defense rights at the same time. [More]

I didn't see this in time to post it on Cyber Monday, but it'll still work.

I'm sure I'll have appeals from other groups as Christmas approaches.  Do what you can to support those you feel have earned it, whether from your state or from a place fighting battles that will affect us all.

We're the Only Ones Fleeing the Scene Enough

A renowned San Francisco police officer was placed on medical leave before he was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run and will be suspended when he is eligible to return to duty, authorities said Monday. Christoper Kohrs, 38, was arrested 11 hours after a Dodge Charger ran down and seriously injured two pedestrians crossing the street early Sunday morning in a San Francisco neighborhood of popular nightspots. [More]

"Dodge" sounds like what his victims should have done.  "Charger" sounds like what he did.

Too bad he wasn't driving a different model. "I Left My Dart in San Francisco" would have fit nicely here.

UPDATE: I'm told I neglected to mention "Ram."

Imagine if You Will

Imagine if you will that you worked for a large company and were issued both a company car and company-provided credit card. Then imagine what would happen if you decided to use that company car to drive to a casino, to use that company-provided credit card to get a cash advance to buy chips, and you did it all on company time. [More]

Then imagine if you drilled a hole in your hotel door and...

Or imagine if you arranged for guns to be "walked" to Mexico...

And imagine...

I've got some feelers out to see if I can identify the SAC who doesn't know when to fold 'em.  In the mean time, what I'd like to imagine is seeing some of these bastards get the behind-bars time they've so repeatedly earned.

Academia Nuts

A public records request has revealed that Dr. James E. Evans, a professor of geology at the Bowling Green State University (BGSU), considers the National Rifle Association (NRA), which is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization, to be "a murderous terrorist organization that is a threat to national security." [More]

Geology, eh?

That may explain the rocks in his head.

And Remember, They Hate Us 'Cause We're Free!

The National Security Letter (NSL) is a potent surveillance tool that allows the government to acquire a wide swath of private information—all without a warrant. Federal investigators issue tens of thousands of them each year to banks, ISPs, car dealers, insurance companies, doctors, and you name it. The letters don't need a judge's signature and come with a gag to the recipient, forbidding the disclosure of the NSL to the public or the target. [More]

Government creates the problem, government "fixes" the problem.

Ingenious.

16 Days of Action

GOSA (Gun Owners South Africa) started an initiative on the 26th of November 2015 in line with the 16 Days of “ACTIVISM” against women and child abuse. We believe that women do not have to be victims and that by arming themselves they can defend themselves, and their families against any illegal physical and/or emotional attacks against them like abuse, rape and other forms of violence. Our approach is a pro-active one rather than re-active. For this reason we have changed the focus from “Activism” to “Action”. [More]

Predictably, one of the biggest impediments champions of individual rights must deal with will be "progressive" (Opposite Day) "women's rights advocates." The same ones who inflate their importance by misreporting rape and who perpetuate their place at the trough by subverting real solutions.

We're the Only Ones Unprepared Enough

“We do not feel that the training is sufficient, that the officers in the street, the first responding police cars that you will see, are adequately equipped to deal with an active shooter—something out of the ordinary that we’ve witnessed in France,” Sgt. Edward Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, told the Observer in a phone interview. [More]

Yeah, neither are the people.

Why is that again?

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates

“Use this sword against my enemies, if I give righteous commands; but if I give unrighteous commands, use it against me.” -Roman Emperor Trajan, speaking to one of his subordinates [More]

Don't tell CIGV-- they'll label the guy an "insurrectionist."

The Demons at Our Door

OK, so what are you doing to keep the demons from getting to our door in the first place?  How does giving an "A" grade" to politicians who aren't leading the fight to keep hostiles from being inserted into our communities not endanger your members?

How is that not irrevocably tied in with the "single issue"?

Gunman Totally Misses Target

Good. Maybe the money boys will treat him like a leper from now on.

The thing is on Netflix now, but even at no extra cost, I have no desire to subject myself to this fraud pretending to be a guns-a-blazin' "action hero."

Pork Skins, Anyone?

While compiling sources for yesterday's Oath Keepers piece, I came across this comment on the site where the University of Chicago moron posted his threat:

I don't suppose "Trétré" has ever considered the possibility that the problem just might be with him...

Rationally Unjustified and Immoral

Therefore, it is rationally unjustified and immoral to undermine or violate people’s dignity, under any circumstances. [More]

Perhaps some day you'll have the opportunity to reconsider that one-size-fits-all determination, up close and personal.

What's "rationally unjustified..." is promulgating this dreck.

For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

And just for the record, Kant did not condemn use of force to ward off attacks -- although if he had, it wouldn't make a difference to people who know better.

Now where were we...? Oh, yes:

Imagine a world without guns.

Spare Tires

Amy Schumer goes topless for Pirelli tire calendar [More]

It's already been done, and better, by a competitor, guys:

Talk about giving millions of customers a great reason to buy from your competitors.  I guess business must be pretty good if your marketing geniuses can afford to alienate gun owners who would prefer not to give aid and comfort to someone who took it enTIREly on herself to become their enemy.
