#DumpStarWars Distracts from ‘Rogue One’ Citizen Militia Theme

Such a rebellion, of course, requires an armed citizenry banding together as a militia, which, as per previous “Star Wars” movies, is exactly what is happening in “Rogue One.” Protagonist Jyn Erso demands and appropriates a weapon, noting her accepted retention of it is a sign that “trust goes both ways.”
Bingo. [More]
That’s hardly a theme mainstream propagandists are inclined to acknowledge.

Pretty in Pink

And though some may say a pretty pink pistol isn’t as menacing as the silver or black models, cops stress the pastel handguns are no less lethal. [More]
Who "may say" that? Anyone who knows what they're talking about, and would thus be fitting sources meriting mention in what's purported to be a "news" story?

This is the quality of "information" the move to marginalize alternative media is designed to reduce things to.

A Great Virginian

Khan has written positively about sharia law. Other laws “must always be subordinated” to Islam’s, he wrote while living in Saudi Arabia in 1983. He also made money representing wealthy foreign clients trying to secure U.S. visas for themselves and their families, in a program critics say is “riddled” with fraud.  [More]
Sounds like he'll fit right in.

A Right Delayed

On 14 December, 2016, a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court ruling in Silvester v. Harris.  In the original decision, the District Court ruled that requiring a gun owner who had already passed a background check, and who either already owned a registered gun or had a concealed carry permit, was an infringement on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The Ninth Circuit held that a 10 day waiting period was a “reasonable safety precaution”.  [More]
I guess this is an advance, but come on. Prior restraint "background checks," registration and permits are not infringements?

The damn black robes go through more perverted contortions than are alluded to in the Marilyn Manson rib removal urban legend.

Half-Time

Beginning on December 15th, the anniversary of U.S. Bill of Rights ratification, and running through the Holiday Season, The Origin of the Second Amendment document collection and The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms history - the authoritative books on the subject of the Second Amendment's history according to Alan Gura - will be half price at Amazon. [More]
I just found out about this. We've talked about these books before.  In my opinion, they are indispensable resources for all informed advocates.
