Don't You Just Love a Man in Uniform?

People really can be conditioned sheep at times. [More]

It's why armed "Only Ones" don't generally result in the same mass hysteria...

Tales of the Bizarro World

Deported Immigrants Get Taxpayer-Funded Grants From Obama Administration [More]

Now just try defying the IRS  -- or not getting a tax stamp for a NFA gun.

Sorry, I don't remember which one of you sent me the link to the report a few days back.

Put Up or Shut Up

How about some, you know, evidence...? [More]

That goes for you, too, Lyndsey Grahamnesty.  No one wants to create a perception of Trump illegitimacy more than Establishment Republicans.  Betrayal from within the Party is the greatest political danger he faces.

His Own Worst Enemy

This whole thing stinks of exploiting a person with mental deficiencies. [More]

The 100

Trump to inherit more than 100 court vacancies, plans to reshape judiciary [More]

No rubber stamps! Vet these people thoroughly.

The last thing we need is blowing this opportunity with a bunch of Establishment-"palatable" Souters.

On the Money

As for me, I have increased my membership to patron. I will make extra donations to the NRA so they have what they need to fight back with. Mr. C, would it help to make extra donations to GOA, CCKBA, etc or just the NRA? [More]

I typically stay out of comments under my articles -- I figure I've had my say, and now it's time for the readers to have theirs. At times I make exceptions if it looks like clarification or a direct answer is appropriate, but otherwise I steer clear -- even though the temptation to defend myself is sometimes great.

What I more often do is post comments meriting further discussion here, where a wider readership can see them, and also to keep from derailing the conversation I'm inviting readers to have under my article.

It's no secret that even though I'm an NRA Life member, I gravitate toward GOA more than any other national group.  That said, as this question relates to responding to legal attacks, I'd make sure to earmark such donations to help fill the legal warchest of whichever group, not just give to the organization as a whole.

So if this article inspired a donation to NRA, make it to the Civil Rights Defense Fund. CCRKBA has a different mission, one of education -- the "legal" arm for court challenges is SAF.  GOA does its legal work though Gun Owners Foundation.

And as we saw in last night's late-breaking story from Nevada, some of the most critical work is being done at the state level. Find your state group(s) and see where they need help.

While money is critical, don't forget: So is participation.

We're the Only Ones Counting Enough

Without that information, police and policymakers say, they can't gauge the full extent of gun violence in America. [More]

And then what?

Looking at the track records of those decrying a lack of information, it's obvious they want to be able to use criminal abuses to "justify" edicts that will only disarm peaceable gun owners.

They're looking for headlines and hysteria.

Here are numbers we don't have as well: A breakdown of perps by party preference.

Why Didn't He Just Give Them What They Wanted?

Homeowner uses gun to bring down armed home invaders [More]

It looks like what they wanted was his life.

Everyone at Bloomberg's The Trace, of course, would prefer him dead than armed and standing his ground. And preferably shot to death, so they could dance in the blood and point at guns.

Shannon Demands Attention

So why give it to her? [More]

As long as the elites keep throwing money in her direction, it won't be used for something that might work.

So much for the old paradigm working. [More]

Then again, I'm admittedly biased. And a troublemaker.

Smearing Poop on the White House Walls

Last week, the Obama administration put the finishing touches on a new policy that would deprive recipients of disability insurance and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) of their Second Amendment rights. The administration will now characterize those citizens as "mental defectives," thereby having their ability to own a firearm subject to the federal Gun Control Act. [More]

The  guy's doing what he can to express his contempt on his way out, isn't he?

I see comments and concerns were disregarded. This is my shocked face.

Hey, we can't let those damn "populists" have a say in "our democracy," can we?

When Trump takes over and orders this rescinded, the individuals behind this "decision" need to be identified and replaced if still there.

The Road to Hell...

... is paved by "progressive" environmentalcases acting as useful idiots for the wealth and power transfer beneficiaries. [More]

They're literally making it impossible for anyone not part of the Big Club to survive, let alone compete.

I'd have posted the name of the damned Assoc. Air Quality Engineer. As WarOnGuns Correspondent Rough and Ready notes, "(name withheld to protect the apparatchik who has never signed the front of a paycheck)."

Doing the Job the Big Boys Won't Do

The ruling did not overturn the ban but rejected arguments invoked by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in which judges ruled that stun guns were not protected under the Second Amendment because they “were not in common use at the time of the Second Amendment’s enactment.”  [More]

In other words, the treasonous robed PsOS would ban everything developed after.

Scientists pick up deep space signals which could PROVE aliens are trying to contact humanity ... The region where the signals are coming from ... is located about 3 billion light years away from earth. [More]

Reality ain't these guys' strong suit, is it?

Who better to "inform" the rest of us?

They do the same stupid sh** with everything else, including, of course, guns.

If that doesn't contradict itself right there, I don't know what does.

Too Many Chiefs

"We have always looked to Bears Ears as a place of refuge," Begaye said. "The rocks, the winds, the land — they are living, breathing things that deserve timely and lasting protection." [More]

Sacred grounds, eh? Except "progressives" are also quick to go on the warpath under the banner of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

Peel back the layers just a bit and see who benefits from such environmentalcase "victories" -- energy producers unburdened with such chains. They don't have to worry about rock carvings, either -- they can just blow them up.

Congratulations on putting the kibosh on prosperity opportunities, though, Russell.  I don't suppose you'd care to own any of the outcomes of "progressivism" for those you purport to speak for...?

I don't blame you-- Jesse and Al don't, either. They just get more indignant and louder when they could use a refill.
