Impending House Gun Votes are Deplorable Concessions by Republicans to Gun-grabbers

Find the turkey...
Define “due process.” Is it being charged, tried in accordance with laws respecting rights, and found guilty before being denied a fundamental right? Or is it some law enforcement careerist using a secret list of undetermined sources and reliability convincing a judge or panel of unknown political sympathies that some tenuous “probable cause” alibi exists? [More]
Tell them no.  Tell NRA that, too.

Cinemarked Targets

Yes, we require you to disarm. No we will not assume a legal duty to protect you.  And yes, we're conduits for citizen disarmament-favoring, bodyguard protected Hollywood elites to make money hand-over-fist on blood-drenched shoot-'em-ups. [More]

NRA: Stop Endorsing Gun Owner Control

Groups shouldn't have to publicly repudiate the presumptive "leader." [More]

Some of us are getting pretty damn tired of it.

I started calling them the Lairds of Fairfax for a reason. They're the ones treating with Longshanks.

Enforce Existing Gun Laws?

You mean enforce existing Intolerable Acts? [More]

So CNBC is dusting off the "Third Way" to appear "reasonable"...?

And no "we" don't know what works. Anything that doesn't acknowledge the reality that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian is treating symptoms, offering false hope while ignoring what's needed for a cure.

To add insult, the state’s top Republican, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, is refusing to endorse him. [More]

President Obama is so passionate about gun violence that he cried during an announcement of an executive action related to gun control. Yet he is invested in gun and ammunition companies through the Illinois General Assembly's pension plan, which he joined as a senator, Reuters reported.  [More]

We're the Only Ones Giving Just Desserts Enough

A third grader had made a comment about the brownies being served to the class. After another student exclaimed that the remark was "racist," the school called the Collingswood Police Department, according to the mother of the boy who made the comment. [More]
All he said was the portions were niggardly.

Then again:
The police and schools were also advised that they should report "just about every incident" to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency, Carey said.
Yeah, you never know when the official advice of "See something, say something" will result in scornful "progressive" attacks on the reputation of the reporter and an invitation to the White House for those who are more equal than others.

Given that the sun is the main driver of all weather and climate, the sinister-sounding “blankness” to which Dorian refers has some experts predicting a “Maunder Minimum” phase similar to one which began in 1645 and which is referred to as the “Little Ice Age.” [More]
Who'da thunk, what with the power-grabbers and wealth-transferers telling us the main driver is us not living in grass huts and foraging for acorns...?

I took my Mom to as big band concert Sunday night -- they moved it from the town green to the high school, because a thunderstorm that never materialized had been predicted.

Looks like it's time to start feeding the cows beans.

The NeverEnding Story

Sorry, no luck dragons  -- this one is more mundane, but nonetheless involves involves a giant, malevolent force swallowing up everything it approaches to turn it into "the Nothing":
  1. Microsoft warns visitors away.
  2. Their criteria for doing so is reputation-damaging.
  3. Hands are washed.
They emailed me and asked me to take a satisfaction survey. As that's conducted by a firm that contracts with them, I don't expect a resolution, but who knows? Maybe they'll realize this needs client cognizance and escalate it to their corporate handler:

The Gift That Keeps on Giving?

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.” ... ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch. [More]
I wonder why. I wonder if it's connected to Gunwalker. And I wonder if the Republican majority Congress is going to continue accepting stonewalling so that "independents" have to do all the uncovering.

And I wonder why they power elites want to disarm us so.

This Opposite Day progressive "most transparent administration in history" ruling is is full of wonders.

Here's another reason why. [More]

Gun-Free Liability Zone

As of July 1, if a handgun carry permit holder in Tennessee is injured, suffers bodily injury or death, incurs economic loss or expense, property damage or any other compensable loss on a property posted as a gun-free zone, they can sue the person or entity who stripped them of their right to self defense. [More]
That's an improvement.

I hate to be the fly in the ointment (not really, someone's got to be) but what does this do for people who don't believe anyone has authority to dispense "permission" to exercise a right?  Not that they're likely to let a sign deter them, but it does pretty much guarantee they won't be saving others or sticking around afterward to make a report...

A Grieving Father

When the shooting started Saturday night, I'll bet there wasn't a person in the club who wouldn't have traded everything he owned in the world, for a loaded gun. [More]

CCDL Endorsed Candidate List

This year, our job of vetting candidates has come with some regret. Some legislators we endorsed in the past have voted for a gun control bill (HB5054) this past session.

While we applaud this turn around, at this time we simply cannot endorse candidates who supported SB1160 in 2013. [More]

Turkish Airport Terror Attack Shows ‘Gun Laws’ Make No Difference

How the terrorist got his hands on such a weapon demonstrates the utter uselessness of “gun control” at stopping those who are evil and determined.  Because Turkey’s gun laws read like Hillary’s wish list. [More]
So where'd the illegal Kalashnikov(s?) come from? You know what Turkey needs now? For its Parliament to stage a sit-in!

Gunfire was heard from the car park near the airport, CNN Turk reports, citing the witnesses. Four armed men were reportedly seen running away from the terminal building after the explosions, according to Turkey’s NTV channel. [More]

What else would you call an email blast and site link to post a Faux News video gushing favorably over the NRA/Cornyn Due Process Suspension Act without defining the dangerous secret "due process" disconnect (start at 1:23 in video)? [More]

We don't need ANY new "gun control." Not only doesn't it work, it still ends up scapegoating gun availability and ignores the inconvenient reality that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian. If there are terrorists in this country, look at how they got here and are still getting in here.

That, of course, would require taking Islamophile/Bloomberg immigration pal Grover Norquist to task, and the new JPFO head honcho, along with the "it's not the single issue" faction has no interest in admitting that -- for transparent reasons that do nothing to refute the "pathway to citizenship" threat argument.

I also note media pushing this, including Faux News, a.k.a. the Murdoch Family Trust, is all out for more "legal" immigration and amnesty for the illegals.

I see this as an attempt to inject an unelectabilty / foregone defeatist conclusion into any who would oppose Hillary, primarily to dampen enthusiasm, derail momentum and discourage turnout.  And the not-so-silent partners in this are the establishment Republicans, desperate to regain control from the rebels, and viewing helping with their rout and blaming their rebellion against "experienced counsel" as the best way to drive them humbled back into the fold.

"Estranged cousins"...? The way I've read about this in other accounts, the assumption was they were named as heirs. This reads that they claim to be heirs.

I was wondering why even "progressives" would turn their noses up at $5M unless they were already extremely wealthy enough to be able to afford such political statements. Now it seems this may just be one way to get hooks into an estate that will be liquidated by court order, and they're trying to crowbar their way into the proceedings while making all kinds of "noble-sounding" noises.

Anybody see any accounts that tell us who these people are? Because I'm smelling opportunistic parasites instead of selfless social justice warriors, although both are pretty rank.

#DemsNeverSat

The hashtag #DemsNeverSat was tweeted to express surprise that Democrats would use their most theatrical tactics on such a flawed effort that is so unlikely to succeed, rather than on more consequential measures. [More]
Can we all play?

Civilized Discourse

Liston Matthews attempts it with an anti. [More]

He's a lot nicer than I am.

A Qualified 'Success'

California voters will decide in November whether to tighten the state's already tough gun control laws after the secretary of state's office said a proposal exceeded the number signatures needed to qualify for the fall ballot on Thursday. [More]
Can you imagine being stupid enough to vote for Gavin Newsom?

What Parasites Do to Hosts

ISIS calls for attacks in Berlin and Brussels to 'paralyse' Europe in wake of Brexit chaos [More]
You know what Europe needs?

More "refugees."

We do, too.  And anyone who disagrees is a hater and an extremist.

It's kind of fun to watch a sleeping giant awake. I'm just wondering what's being planned to knock it out again.  Because this isn't just a matter of the loyal opposition agreeing to disagree.

Would-be total controllers that stop at nothing to achieve their ends will not give up with a handshake and a smile. Note the promise of more death and destruction, and the introduction of the meme that a vote for independence has played right into the terrorists' hands.

Sometimes, the real parasites and terrorists aren't the obvious ones.

Carve out the time to read this.

Top Gun?

[More]
Kelly McGillis chooses concealed carry after surviving an attack. [More]

Doesn't she know the attacker will just take the gun away from her? Note how no one ever challenges the fools who say that to demonstrate how?

Too bad her Twitter feed shows her to be a typical lefty.

Fun Times in Cleveland Again

Restrictions on speeches and parades outside next month's Republican National Convention were struck down by a federal judge Thursday as unconstitutional. [More]
For anyone planning to immerse themselves in the upcoming festivities, I recommend checking out Google Maps to note man-made and natural obstacles like the river and the lake, and to plan an escape route. Also use the street view feature to see the concrete, glass and steel canyons and dead ends that will keep gas from dispersing and channel stampedes.

Good luck getting parking nearby, and if you do, good luck being able to get out if things go south, which could end up being the only viable direction. I also wouldn't count on CRTA to get me out of there.

There will be loud and hateful disrupters seeking destruction and mayhem, and also targets of opportunity wearing the wrong "colors." And depending on how they're dealt with, we could see the fun spread to other cities.

At least we're not Detroit.

They're with Her

Without making any other value judgment and confining this strictly to probabilities, if these uprising fomenters win, so will Hillary. [More]

Their names will be remembered for that.

And if Trump wins, I expect his "Republican" opponents to be in the vanguard of those loudly fighting his every move. They'll be looking for any excuse to initiate impeachment proceedings, to prove themselves "right" and to reset things back to the Quigley paradigm.

No Fly, No Buy, No Appeal

"No district court of the United States or court of appeals of the United States shall have jurisdiction to consider the lawfulness or constitutionality of this section..." [More]
Alan Korwin notes "The people proposing this 17-page tyrannical travesty should be removed from office."

Jeff Flake certainly has lived down to his name.

One question that remains unasked: Why are so many people on the "no fly list" even in this country in the first place?

Brexit Blues

I was riveted to Sky News live reporting last night, watching the back-and-forth in the UK's referendum on whether it would remain in or leave the EU. The surprisingly high turnout kept going back and forth around the 50% mark, but eventually it got to where the separatists were consistently maintaining their slight lead and a pollster noted for the "stay" faction to win, it would need to perform better in remaining districts than projections indicated.

This was a contest between a "progressive"/business alliance and nationalists, similar in many ways to what we see happening here, where "conservative leadership" wants the same globalist open borders as the Democrats. The people who voted to leave want their country back.

I believe sentiments are stronger here. This looks like a bellwether for November.

Expired FFL Raises Further Questions about ATF Oversight of Gun Store

“There is a gap a mile wide,” the legal source said about how documentation discovered to date fails to account for how the name on the FFL was changed. Yet the store continued to operate and continued to receive gun shipments under the “new” FFL, all under close ATF oversight. [More]
It looks like ATF issued a license they knew they had no legal authority to do, for reasons we will continue to explore in upcoming installments.

If you missed part one, about ATF's related banking irregularities, you can read it here.
