Ambition, Turning Down Heat Seen as Motivators behind ATF Proposals on Guns

Savage agrees that such incentives, including the potential for the top spot at BATFE, could be factors. Another potential explanation is one of organizational pragmatism. [More]

One thing's for sure -- they're not doing this because the believe the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  And it looks like our FOIA may just be a catalyst for some change.

When Fisters Attack

All this is to say, to strike is to disrupt in whatever ways we can, the smooth functioning of the systems of domination we find ourselves surrounded by. This can be a railroad blockaded, a freeway shut down, a police vehicle overturned, a neighborhood barricaded to prevent ICE or BP from so much as entering, a caregivers’ strike, or a baseball bat to a klansman or rapist’s kneecap.

We echo some distant accomplices when we say, BE THE FIST YOU WANT TO SEE IN A FASCIST’S FACE. [More]

With "klansmen" and "rapists" being whomever they decide to assault with weapons and potentially lethal force. You know, anyone who's not a raving Marxist tool.

Obviously, Choice One is to avoid trouble if you can.  If you can't, then pre-plan ways to ensure safety, including traveling in groups, scouting, assessing before proceeding, keeping apprised of scanner chatter, making sure communications channels are established and working, and exercising your right to keep and bear arms -- with the obvious caveat that you'd better know what you're doing and be prepared not to make things disastrous for yourself or for non-attackers.

UPDATE: Find an event near you (and act accordingly).

Garbage In, Garbage Out

Despite claims of enhanced vetting, the reality is that it is virtually impossible to vet an individual who has no type of an official record, particularly in countries compromised by terrorism. U.S. immigration officials simply rely on the person’s often rehearsed and fabricated “testimony.” I have personally seen this on hundreds of occasions. [More]

So ensuring garbage data let's garbage in and doesn't keep garbage out is what Opposite Day "progressives" mean by "rigorous security screening"?

Don't Think of Them as Anti-Gun. Think of Them as Pro-Slaughtered Children.

"Ms. DeVos was not able to clearly express her understanding or her commitment to enforcing the gun-free school zone act," he added. [More]

Why would anyone but an oath-breaking murderer-enabler commit to that, senator?

I see A-rated and endorsed Lisa Murkowski (along with perennial turncoat Susan Collins) is also siding with Team Traitor. At least she agrees with Wayne.

Big mistake with her, Mr. President. As the opportunistic ingrate showed you. We should all never forget that had it been up to her (and AQ-rated Dan Sullivan)*, Hillary would now be "Madam President."

And while we're on the subject of education, what the hell ever happened with this?

#WearOrange?

In a last-minute visual reminder, a large crowd of hunters wearing blaze orange and camouflage lined the path between lawmakers’ offices and the Capitol. [More]

And they all showed up for Lobby Day too?

As an aside, it appears the Bloombergians committed before considering the irony.

Not Too Old to Take Out the Trash

An armed veteran from St. Louis killed one man and injured another during an armed robbery attempt in the metro east. But, on Friday, prosecutors said the veteran's actions are justified, and could help solve dozens of other violent crimes in Illinois and Missouri. [More]

Curious. The Opposite Day "common sense gun safety law" fanatics would rather he had not been armed --  by forced of edict.  I guess they figure the more heinous acts of brutality, the more blood they have to dance in, all the better to advance the disarmament of their countrymen.

We're the Only Ones Filling the Bill Enough

The former police chief of East St. Louis, Michael Floore plead guilty Tuesday in a St. Clair County courtroom to theft by deception. At the heart of the case was former police chief admission that he collected pay from Metro for work not done. [More]

So he's a thief and a fraud?

I trust this surprises no one:

What does the chief of police in East St. Louis think of the Chicago mayor’s idea to cut down on illegal gun trading in Illinois by creating a $65 per year fee for handgun registry? KMOX News asked Michael Floore, and here’s what he said, ” I think it’s a great idea. Maybe it will help us cut down on crime.”

Hey, how's this for a PR slogan?

But some work is more equal than other.
