Oregon Wildlife Refuge Occupation Powder Keg Just Needs a Spark
I mirrored my AmmoLand article from the other day due to relevance for Oath Keepers. [More]
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
At least in this case, the Bloombergians used real NBA players, although how much of a “role model” that organization provides is questionable. There’s actually a website called “NBA Crime Library” that provides arrests (and often mugshots) for all franchises. The site’s “Hall of Shame” includes records like “Most career arrests, all-time; Most career arrests, active players; Youngest player ever arrested; Youngest player ever arrested twice; Youngest player ever arrested three times; Youngest player ever arrested four times; Youngest player ever arrested five times; Oldest player ever arrested; Greatest span between arrests; [and] Greatest span of arrests.” [More]My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch column cries foul on anti-gun sports leagues and commentators.
Dark Secrets
I keep rejecting these off-topic comments coming under different posts and from different names:
I have to assume it contains a malicious link that appears to be targeting "non-progressive" blogs and readers who would be inclined to want to see more. And if it's not, I don't put the work into this just so some damn spammer can hijack my comment threads for free advertising. Warn your friends and if you see such comments appearing elsewhere, warn whoever runs the website.
This is a big reason why I moderate comments.

The Voter Watchlist
Regulars here know about my little truism.
Let's adopt the "logic" of the left for a moment and come up with a corollary:
Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted to vote.
And as long as "progressives" are on a roll, why not extend the voting ban it to all those on the secret "terror watchlist"?
Shouldn’t we demand "rigorous security screening"?
My God, do we want criminals and terrorists deciding our elections? I guess that's the wrong question to ask those who depend on them (along with the dead).
No, of course they wouldn't go for it. But why not ask it loudly anyway?

Obama Gun Grab Speech Reveals Key Weakness
I’m not asking people to have that same level of courage or sacrifice or love. [More]Well then you're going to be in for a big surprise when you come across people who have it.
Plus, watch Obama dance in a teen's blood while misspelling his name-- three times.
The Most Important News You'll Read Today
The results of my latest liver scan came back. Boil it all down and the odds are that I will belong to the vagaries of history in six months, perhaps more, perhaps less. [More]I tried to call my friend. It was answered by what I assume was someone in a medical office, who told me "Mr. Vanderboegh will call you back."
I'm going to go pray for a bit. Feel free to join me.
Missing an Important Fact
In anticipation of today's announcement, the White House has released a "fact sheet" summary for the executive ordure expected in a few hours. [More]
Huh. It doesn't say how many Americans who will not comply that he's willing to have "legally"or literally destroyed. I guess we should assume all of us.

Fine-Tuning
[H[e’s enjoying this other person, this fellow named Donald Trump, out there tuning up the rubes.” [More]Esquire editor David Granger certainly is smarter, more informed and sophisticated than anyone you or I know, wouldn't you agree? Or a least more qualified to disseminate fashion tips and drink recipes to suave metrosexuals...
Numbers are Relevant
“Numbers are relevant. The ATF and DOJ did not identify a magic number of weapons that makes you engaged in the business because that would limit their ability to bring prosecution.” [More]So the purpose isn't "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"?
She's right, though -- numbers ARE relevant. Right now, I'm thinking three percent...
Oh, and by the way, thanks for Lynch, 10 Senate Republicans. Those on that side of the ledger should be made irrelevant.
