Blast from the Past
We're the Only Ones Unfunded Enough
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has entered into an agreement with the Glendale, Arizona, Police Department that makes the latter the unpaid enforcers of the former’s regulations, the Tenth Amendment Center reports. [More]Well that seems ripe for a taxpayer lawsuit. If they have money to dedicate resources to that, they have too much money. It ain't theirs to be magnanimous with.
Jeez, it figures.
Don't worry, I'm not being sexist. Now that I've discovered the joys of self-identifying, I can be whatever I want. Besides, I'm referring to her bragging about "establish[ing] a gun violence program" as an "accomplishment" in the 2016 >$84M budget.
For the Children
Chris Gaither, 11, heard a noise and grabbed a nine-millimeter hand gun. [More]Good for you Chris. You're more of a man than, well, every single one of these little dears.

A Bone to Pick
Linda Rawley, spokesperson for the WPD, said Clarissa walked into the restaurant and ordered bone-in chicken wings, but received boneless wings. Clarissa reportedly began to argue with the clerk, then grabbed a gun from her car and went back inside the restaurant waving it around. [More]Funny, how some people seem to have a permanent sense of entitlement and rage. You know, postal workers. (And yeah, I'm sure.)
Now that I've decided on a new way to identify, I'm as upset as she is.

Not Cooperating
80-Year Old Woman Saves Her Husband’s Life with a GUN! [More]A spokesman for Everytown reacts in disbelief and irritation to their survival:
Isn't it time we closed the Senior Loophole?

Our Gun-Free Heritage
Our gun myths are all wrong: The real history behind the Second Amendment clichés that have sustained our lethal gun culture [More]Give that gal a Bancroft Prize!
Pocketful of Miracles
Or a waistband full of wonders ... [More]
As in it's a wonder these characters don't have ludicrously high violent death rates...
Oh, wait...
If only they would disarm you and me.

Get Real
He then issued a Presidential Memorandum directing the Departments of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Justice (DOJ) to prepare a report outlining a strategy for expediting the real-world deployment of smart gun technology. [More]Make that first "real-world deployment" with his and his family's Secret Service details, and he's got my interest.
Identity Crisis
To all you 6'5" Chinese women out there... [Watch]
I had occasion to be in a venue over the weekend where there were highly-trafficked men's and women's restroom facilities and everybody instinctively knew which one they were supposed to use. I joked to my wife about the reception I'd likely receive if I waltzed into the ladies' room and announced I identified as a woman.
The fact that this is even an issue, albeit a totally manufactured one, says much about mass manipulation and herdthink. That's not lost on those doing the manipulating.
The ridiculousness of the hypocritical "progressive" double standard is easy enough to expose -- simply identify yourself as a person of color and feel free to assert that's enough to be absolved from all resentments for biological "white privilege."
Hell, I'm so outraged at what I've had to endure, I want me some reparations!

All an Act
Amended HB5054 ‘AN ACT PROTECTING VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE’ does not do what the title claims according to the CCDL President ... CCDL members have pointed out since the Governor introduced this bill, it is nothing but a back door method to force the surrender of firearms with no opportunity for a respondent of such an order to be heard prior to any surrender of legal property. The bill would eliminate the standard protection of ‘Due Process’ as affirmed under the 5th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. [More]But the evil collectivists behind the scam are counting on the high-sounding purpose implied by the bill's title to impress the ignorant. That, with full amplification by Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist media partners, should be enough to spook the cud-chewers into demanding to surrender rights they won't use by infringing on yours.
That is, it definitely will be enough if you're a Connecticut gun owner and don't do this, which is free, and this, which is a pretty good indicator of how much you'd like to be.
A Matter of Priorities
“The CDC should not be surprised about epidemics. First it was Ebola in 2014. Now in 2016 we have the Zika virus. Who knows what’s next?” [More]Quick! We must release funds for anti-gun agenda propaganda masked as "scientific studies"!
And Remember, with "Progressives," Every Day is Opposite Day
What's the best way to persuade people not to help increase the "fame" of mass killers? Put out a spot starring Adam Lanza, of course. [More]
Totally Random. Honest.
Yeah, sure, Beck employee. [More]
I'm sure people who follow you on Facebook -- to even know you put out a solicitation to respond to -- are representative of the population McAwful intends to exploit.

Meanwhile, Over on the "Pathway to Citizenship"
Anti-immigrant rhetoric from the campaign trail is encouraging Latino immigrants to become U.S. citizens with one goal in mind: to vote against GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump. [More]Thank goodness electing Hillary will have nothing to do with that "single issue."
Right, Grover?
Right, NRA?
Right, deliberately indifferent and/or complicit "gun bloggers"?
Couldn't Have Done It Without You
“It has been an honor and a privilege to work side-by-side with you to strengthen our democracy.” [More]Obama thanks his co-conspirators, the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.
So Ripe It's Rotten
America Has Never Been So Ripe for Tyranny [More]Andrew Sullivan does a fair job identifying some of the conditions that lead to the perceived need for a demagogue savior, but falls on his face when it comes to solutions.
The guy himself is a walking Opposite Day "progressive" contradiction-- a self-described "conservative" gay Roman Catholic Brit who was an editor for The Nation. It's not surprising he begins with a discourse on Plato and winds up defending the concept of Hillary as philosopher queen being just the ticket needed to save us rabble from ourselves.
