It’s being circulated not just by those who know it’s a hoax, but also by well-meaning gun owners who are nonetheless helping to spread two falsehoods in one post. And the thing is, it takes less than a minute to debunk both quotes, simply by putting them into a search engine. [More]Leave the lying and the self-delusion to the gun-grabbers. We have to be about the truth.

Passing along Fake Quotes, Rumors and Hoaxes Only Helps Gun-grabbers
A Dangerous Anomaly
In the Spirit of Bipartisan Cooperation
Will Congressional Republicans Hand Hillary/Obama an Anti-gun Victory? [More]Probably.
We're the Only Ones in Agreement Enough
Did you know that local law enforcement agencies often commit significant resources to helping the federal government enforce federal gun laws and regulations? In this video, we’ll share with you the official agreement between a local police department in Arizona and the ATF. [More]As I said before, that seems ripe for a taxpayer lawsuit.

Bottoms Up, Gun Owners!
Former ABC, CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric takes on the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment supporters in a new film entitled Under the Gun, which will debut at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 15, on the Epix pay cable channel. [More]I expect it will be every bit as appealing as her colonoscopy.

Sneak Attack
A Bloomberg-Approved Veto
Today, May 10, Governor Ducey vetoed HB 2524, the AzCDL-requested interstate firearms compact bill. HB 2524 would have prohibited Arizona and other member states from enacting firearm transfer requirements that are more restrictive that existing federal law. [More]Thanks for making things easier for Bloomberg, governor. That jewel sure will look nice in his crown.
After all, everyone knows the best way to stall an invasion is to remove defensive barriers.
So much for thinking outside the box.
Apologists don't want us doing that anyway.
Old Dog, New Trick?
MeWe is the world's safest social network, where your personal information is private. There is no spying, tracking, or stalking in our site. Easily share what you want with the people you want, and enjoy our many great features. [More]Being a small fish in a big pond means you need to splash to get noticed. When you're linkwhoring, you only have so many options if you don't look good in a tube top.
I have no idea if this will be useful at getting links shared and articles read, but giving this a try probably won't hurt (much), and these people seem to be more privacy-oriented than Facebook (not that any "social media" should actually be used for social purposes). Whether this will be a tool that will help me spread the word, as opposed to a distraction and a time-waster, remains to be seen.
We're the Only Ones Livid Enough
St. Louis Mayor, Francis Slay, and Police Chief, Sam Dotson, were livid. [More]
Yeah, don't you know where your unalienable rights come from? Who the hell are you to challenge their withholding of them?
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

We're the Only Ones Beating Enough
Two Northern California sheriff's deputies were charged with felonies Tuesday for the beating of a suspected car thief in an incident captured on surveillance video and circulated widely online. [More]*Dang -- they really Rodney Kinged the guy.
It is "progressive"-ruled California, after all.

Nashville Cats
Well, there's twenty-five thousand three hundred new Democrats in training from Nashville... [More]
'Sometimes Losing is Winning'
WSJ editor tells conservatives to abandon Trump [More]And WSJ, of course, is notoriously in the tank for the cheap labor side of the immigration/invasion cultural terraforming.
As for Paul Ryan, the Bushes, and the rest of the establishment GOP either holding out or sitting out, their motive is transparent: If they can make sure Trump loses, they get to crow "See, we told you so!" Never mind that Dole, McCain, Romney et al proved their impotence. Those with short memories and weak resolve will get back into line and those clamoring for real change will be easier to discredit as spoilers.
This isn't about Trump. This is about the ideas he represents that resonate with so many. That's what threatens them, and that's what they intend to redirect, sabotage and destroy.
