Social Security Opens Comments for Gun Disability Records Expansion

There are major concerns we should have with a sweeping bureaucratic firearms disability, which no doubt the gun-grabbers will paint as “Gun nuts want to give guns to crazy people.”[More]

It’s a madhouse. A maaadhouse! Without demonstrating Constitutional authority or comprehensive due process protections, bureaucrats at the Social Security Administration want to know what we think about new rules for disarming Americans.

And Why Wouldn't a Member of Society Be Fully Enfranchised?

For one thing, it implies the state is releasing dangerous people into the general population. If the state is doing that, then it should stop. [More]

A-yup.

A Monumental Undertaking

No pun intended:

From the monument company:

I have attached a copy of what the monument will look like. This monument is 30 inches wide by 24 inches tall and 6 inches thick (if you were looking down on the monument) The price for this size stone is $1200.00. That price includes the monument, all engraving, and the price for us to set the monument. 

If you placed the order today, we would have it set sometime between 6 and 8 weeks. 

It's nice to see Kurt Hofmann's quote will also be memorialized on the reverse side.

You know what comes next: Where are they supposed to come up with $1200  -- today? Or in the foreseeable future?

You know the drill, and I'm giving a special shout-out to those who acknowledge you have received value from Mike's life work, but have not yet made an effort to return some of that value in a tangible way.  And to those of you who already have made gratitude offerings, nothing's stopping a further show of appreciation.

You can send checks, money orders or cash to:

PO Box 926

Those not averse to using Paypal can send a payment to georgemason1776@aol.com (go to SSI and scroll down, then click on "Donate" button in right sidebar.).

And what if this takes in more than $1200? What if it does?

I have a Five-Minute Activism task as well: Forward this information to every RKBA/Liberty advocate you know.

The Next Generation

Where are the Millennials in RKBA activism? [More]

They'll either get on board as they mature or they'll pay the price.

I've remarked on the same thing at gatherings -- the number of gray heads in the crowd and how young adults are so scarce.

The leadership is going to have to come from someone in their age range who knows how to craft the type of message in the type of medium they'll be receptive to in order to get them to first dip their toe in the pool. Wayne waving a flag won't cut it. We grups can do our best to promote newcomers, but we don't really reach the audience that needs to be approached.

One core message I think has been grossly underutilized: Appeal to their conditioning by stressing the truly progressive egalitarian power-sharing that can only exist with an armed populace.

On the plus side, all who need to be truly committed would be, say, three percent...

The Art of the Deal

A freshman at Fort Valley State University was stabbed to death after he came to the aid of some female students who were being harassed and groped by a man outside the school cafeteria, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent said Wednesday. [More]

I just asked a similar "Would you?" question the other day.

Sorry if you don't like such outcomes on Georgia campuses. That's the way it's gonna stay, and you'll just have to Deal with it.

But...but...but... what's the deal with the Constitution...?

"I have altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

We're the Only Ones Disarmed Enough

Sacramento police say the deputy got into another man’s car early Monday on R Street and would not get out ... The vehicle owner saw the deputy’s gun and pulled him out, then took his weapon ... The deputy ... apparently had been drinking... [More]

The important points to remember:

Sacramento police turned the ... deputy, whose name was not released ... over to a supervisor and no arrest was made ... Officers did not administer field sobriety tests ... 

That's why we can believe Sacramento police spokesman Matt McPhailFail when he assures us:

“It doesn’t appear that a crime occurred in any way or we certainly would have arrested him for that.”

Certainly! Someone want to test that? Why not crawl drunk into a squad car, get into an altercation and make them wrestle a firearm away from you, and let us know if you get the same absolution and protection?

'Something We Can Think About'

You'd consider putting Cruz a heartbeat from the presidency? [More]

So were you lying when you called him "Lyin' Ted"?  Because if you weren't, why would you want to put us all at such grave risk by putting a "sick ... soft weak baby ... unstable ... basket case" in such a position of power?

And you're also considering Amnesty Man?

Gosh, it's almost like we can't believe anything any politician who wants to get elected tells us.

Turnabout's Fair Play

Left Wing Extremists Publish AfD Members’ Addresses [More]

Per Matt Bracken on Facebook:

Leftists are cowards who won't come to your door to kill you. But they will give your home address to Moslem jihad killers so they can do the killing.

Leftists have now declared an alliance with the jihadists, so they must also be treated as mortal enemies of free people.

As must "government officials" who issue the orders, and police who conduct raids on apartments "for the act of merely questioning the migrant crisis on social media."
