Lock N Load

I'll be joining host Bill Frady this evening at 7 Eastern to talk about whatever he wants to throw at me. Those so inclined can listen and chat at the program site.

Lexington Resolution on Militia-Suitable Firearms Looks like a Calculated Insult

The prohibition enthusiast responsible is “town resident Robert Rotberg, the founding director of Harvard Kennedy School’s Program on Intrastate Conflict and president emeritus of the World Peace Foundation.” Rotberg is a career globalist (and failed candidate for selectman himself), evidently intent on proving the truism that for “progressives” every day is Opposite Day – how else would one explain someone from Lexington who thinks it’s a peace-promoting idea for government to disarm citizens in a town that prides itself on a statue of Captain John Parker?

It's a similar compulsion to desecrating a shrine...

Too Little Too Late

NRA Reaches Out to Pro-Gun Latinos With National Video Ad Campaign [More]

Right.  And how much of a fraction of a percentage point can they authoritatively project this will sway that "Nearly 80 percent of Latinos - the fastest-growing demographic in the country - [who] favor gun control over gun rights"...?

Ah well, at least it will give the headline surfers and "single issue" excuse makers something to further muddy the waters with...

Besides -- add this to Grover's vapers and Uber drivers, and I think Alfred stated it best:

Oath Breaker of the Year Award

Florida "Only Ones" pay tribute ... [More]

As long as gun owners continue rewarding "Republicans" like de la Portilla, the party will have no incentive to offer someone who actually merits support.

Better to give the seat to a damn Dem for a cycle.  And yeah, the guy has a lock on the Cuban vote, but if gun voters everywhere had been doing that all along instead of confirming impotence with the "lesser of two evils" excuse, the party would make 2A fidelity a requirement.

UPDATE: See, when they don't have to, they don't care:

You Mean "Second Responders"?

Tennesseans Petition to Allow First Responders to Carry [More]

You mean the folks who arrive after the first responders have responded?

And what's this "allow"...?

Opposite Day in Nevada

And yes, you are on a different planet.

More Terror Down Under

New rapid-fire shotguns, that can fire eight rounds in eight seconds, have sparked fear among gun control experts. [More]

One-thousand one, one-thousand two, one-thousand three, one-thousand four, one-thousand five, one-thousand six, one-thousand seven, one-thousand eight...

That's what it takes to scare their "experts"? Really?

Better not tell 'em about single-actions:

Who Couldn't See That Coming?

Focused on the Wrong Thing

DRGO Updates

There's much new stuff, including an amicus curiae brief, recovered Congressional testimony transcripts, a 3-part "How We're Taught About Guns" series and more....

You can eliminate the middleman (that would be me in this instance) and get all the information firsthand simply by doing this.

The Terror Down Under

I guess even requiring the "law-abiding" to register guns isn't enough to stanch the bleating. [More]

It will never be enough for those who demand all.

All I can figure is this guy was high. [More]

To Name But a Few

Bob Iger, Rupert Murdock, Michael Bloomberg and Bill Marriott... [More]

Thanks goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Catch and Release

What kind of xenophobic racist could possibly object?

Brought to You By the Letter "I"

Sesame Street unveiled a fresh face Thursday: a hijab-wearing Afghani Muppet named Zari who will teach kids about “girl empowerment, social and emotional wellbeing.” [More]

Who better to learn it from?

As long as we're on that subject:

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Elder Statesman

And I confess, maybe it's just a sign of old age... [More]

Then again, maybe it's a sign of a realization.

You Kiss Your Mother with That Mouth?

Evidently so. [More]

True, it's in Piers Morgan Paradise, but it'll be here soon enough.

Let the marriages and successful lawsuits against Christian bakers commence. That is, until the coming Caliphate the Prozis demand tolerance for starts setting things... uh ...straight.

As Long as We Have No Say in the Matter...

You don't, you know, and "progressives" like that just fine... [More]

‘There’s Classified, And Then There’s Classified’

You know, it depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is... [More]

Think that would work for you and me?

In more ways than one.

Yeah, What I Just Said

Republican Party insiders in the state will select 27 delegates to the national convention on Saturday, and Trump is assured to be nearly shut out of support, according to interviews with a dozen party leaders and officials involved in the delegate selection process. [More]

I have a bad feeling about this.

First Impressions Matter

Perception becomes reality:
This is all disaffected
Republicans see.

The Colorado Republican Party's decision last summer to jettison a presidential poll at its caucus on Tuesday looks worse with every passing day. [More]

It's not hard to imagine the Denver Post editorial staff high-fiving as the GOP "leadership" self-destructs.

It doesn't matter if there are esoteric inside baseball rationales or if varied arcane Democrat caucus rules do their share of deck-stacking the media is happy to overlook. All that matters is what the average, frustrated, Republican-leaning voter walks away thinking, that everything is being changed without his influence and against his will -- to the benefit of those who know how to pull the right strings and push the right buttons -- and that he has been rendered voiceless.

Donald Trump is wrong about riots from his supporters, at least in the "traditional" sense of opportunistic masses running wild in the streets with TVs and toilet paper. I don't see the type of people concerned with the issues he's taken the lead on being that type, certainly not to loot and burn, no matter how much they're conflated with violent "extremists" and painted as bigger domestic threats than Islamists bent on forcing submission.

That said, a quote from a Democrat icon comes to mind.

Congratulations, Dead Elephant Party. You are more to blame than overt domestic enemies, because you snookered the desperate into having a hope you never intended to fulfill.
