Bloomberg Cities Make Top 50 List for World’s ‘Most Violent’

As for the U.S. cities that made the list, they also share undeniable commonalities. For instance, they’re all dominated by Democrats. They all champion “progressive” policies.  And every single one of them has been an enthusiastic member of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns... [More]
What we need are common sense despot safety laws as only Everytyranny can impose 'em!

Playing Right into Their Hands

Somebody needs to pull this man aside and see if he realizes what he just did here, and what he needs to do to fix it.  [More]

To Be or Not to Be

For pharmacists, the bill would add a required six-hour training course to their accreditation process. Gun store owners would be eligible for a tax credit after completing an online training course. Both trainings would focus on how to spot people who might be suicidal, how to talk about suicide, and how to encourage people to store both medications and firearms safely. [More]
And they'll be indemnified against lawsuits if their attempts turn out bad, or if someone they sell a gun to offs himself and it's proven the FFL declined participating in the program?

A Surprising Moment of Compromise

Personally, I'd rather not have due process stripped away based on allegations by an interested party. [More]

Vanderboegh Work Weekend/Barbecue Update

This still leaves much to do in both outside jungle removal and inside organization and packing (books and papers that I am donating to the Vanderboegh collection at the Birmingham Public Library Archives), not to mention help carrying out the logistics of feeding those folks who show up during those three days. [More]
If you can go, go. If you can't, share.

That last bit isn't too much to ask, is it?

I trust everyone who has derived value from Mike's work -- except for a very small number of people in similar desperate straits -- has made their gratitude offering, even if only a widow's mite?

Coming Out Blazing

Advocates of gun control raked in $3.6 million over the last two years to place an initiative to tighten background checks for gun purchases and transfers in Nevada on the November ballot and ensure it passes. [More]
Here's why YOU should care:
The initiative is part of a broader national push to establish universal background check laws state by state after an effort to do so on the federal level failed in 2013. 
Think they won't be advancing into your neck of the woods if they break through the front lines?  Speaking of which, the troops there could use some immediate support.

And while you're at it, you might want to tell Wynn and Caesars to go to hell.  I'm sure their mucky-mucks have plenty of muscle protecting them.

With SHOT having wrapped up, I wonder what kind of effort -- if any -- the guys making all the money put into defending against Bloomberg and alerting visitors in need of accommodations where NOT to stay...

The Bully Pulpit

Instead of concerning themselves with federal issues, they are using the Federal Government letterhead to harass a state level association (Connecticut Food Association). This is a bully tactic that is being deployed by legislators that in reality have little to say about Connecticut state laws. [More]
Since when have "progressives" ever been concerned with limits on their power or, for that matter,minding their own damn business?

Call to Action

Calling on any and all Americans to come to Burns, Oregon to come to the aid of the American people standing against these violent, malicious and deceitful tactics. [More]
And what is proposed if the demands aren't met?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

Gun Baby Gun’s broad thrust is that firearms ownership in and of itself is a worldwide evil and that gun control, in the American sense of banning everything, is the only answer to this perceived problem. [More]
And who better to believe than a disgraced "journalist" (kind of a redundancy) who falsely accuses people he politically disagrees with of being a kiddy-diddler?

As an aside, I though no one was talking about taking away our guns...

All You Need to Know

When asked who she thought the best candidate was on the Republican side she cited Jeb Bush saying he is 'the only voice on the other side that is demonstrating strong American values'. [More]
They share values? Besides giving Mommy that Constitution Center Liberty Medal?

Oh. They do!

Yeah, listen to Princess Prozi on who the GOP candidate should be. I'm sure she only has everyone's best interests at heart.

Runaway Slave

Bloomberg editor quits: We can't cover Michael Bloomberg aggressively [More]
If this doesn't scream "Conflict of interest!" for those staying on, what does?

Bloomberg News: Bringing new significance to "If it bleeds it leads."

Because It's All about Michael Savage

“I’m demanding an investigation,” he said. “I’m demanding the attorney general send a task force into Oregon.”
And if the feds won’t, the United Nations ought to look into it, Savage said. [More]
Yeah, that's just what the Patriot movement is all about, you fraudulent carnival barker.

Physician, Heal Thyself

I saved a patient's life by telling him about seat belts! He'd never heard of such things before! And now I'm going to give you a prescription on guns! [More]

What? My qualifications, certifications and credentials establishing competence? And you want to know about malpractice coverage should my unqualified advice result in a negative outcome...?

Why...why...why I'm a DOCTOR!

And we know about everything.

Why Don't We Get to the REAL Reason for the Hit Piece?

His proposal to prevent all Muslims from immigrating to the United States is only a prelude to mass persecution. His repeated characterization of immigrants and the poor as criminals is a heartless rejection of Christ's command to protect the weakest in society. [More]
So, Steven-- who are YOU backing?

The Mystery of Our Time

... the country remains mystified by their motives. [More]
Why, oh why could they be so contemptuous of our "progressive values"?  We've been so welcoming and tolerant of them, and so condemning of "xenophobic racists"!

Complete, Unedited Video of Joint FBI and OSP Operation 01/26/2016


Published on Jan 28, 2016This is the complete video footage of a joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. This footage, which has only been edited to blur out aircraft information, was taken by the FBI on 01/26/2016 and released by the FBI on 01/28/2016. Note regarding date/time stamp in the left corner of video: Pilots use Zulu Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), when they fly. Zulu time is eight hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST). Therefore, although this footage was taken on January 26, 2016 in Oregon, the date/time stamp on the video shows just after midnight January 27, 2016.
Shooting incident starts @ 9:15 in...
