BART Swarm Invasion Shows Mandated Helplessness Invites Attacks

The passengers weren’t in much of a position to do anything but be victimized, thanks in no small part to the Bay Area Rapid Transit’s “no guns” policies, combined with the utter refusal of regional “Only Ones” to approve “may issue” (meaning “probably won’t unless you’re connected) concealed carry permits. That's all enabled by the overwhelmingly dominant “progressive” mindset of a constituency that demands defenselessness for citizens and “sanctuary” for everyone else. [More]

Based on the way they vote, that’s the way most riders want it.

Swift Kick in the But

Yes, Currin is what David Codrea refers to as a “big but” supporter of the Second Amendment; “Of course I support the Second Amendment, BUT …” [More]

That's the surest way to determine you're dealing with a lying ass.

Besides, if you're a parasite, it not only beats working, you also get paid to be a vindictive prick and exert power over people. [More]

A Familiar Voice

Eerie tech promises to copy anyone’s voice from just 1 minute of audio [More]

On the one hand, I've been anticipating such a development as the final step needed once CGI is perfected to eliminate the need for "movie stars."

On the other hand, a scam some piece of crap tried on my Mom a few years back, and to one of her friends a few months back, comes to mind.

PRESS RELEASE: SB Tactical™ Announces Reversal of ATF Open Letter on the Use of SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Braces® [More]

Here's the letter.

Pretty amazing, how a government tasked "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" can so arbitrarily set up rules with which they can destroy us -- and then just pull an Emily Litella when entrenched bureaucrats decide a prolonged battle won't serve their interests under the new administration.

Here's a test you can do for yourself:

Find the names of, or any cites from, the guys who broke this story and pushed it into the attention of the public, Congress and the media.

Now square that with this.

You'll forgive me if there are other ventures I would rather help crowdfund.

We're the Only Ones at Capacity Enough

Frankly, while magazine capacity might be an issue for members of law enforcement, it is not much of one for the legally armed citizen. Research into actual gunfights involving the armed citizen seldom shows more ammunition is needed beyond what’s in their concealed-carry revolver. Unlike the Walter Mitty-esque fantasy warriors, the armed citizen does not fight pitched battles with the trusty handgun. He or she uses it as an exit ticket, and it is just amazing what five or six rounds of quality defensive ammunition, accurately placed, can do to change the mindset and actions of a miscreant bent on mayhem. [More]

Frankly, you're pretty obnoxious and judgmental, presuming one size fits all for all potential situations. And tell us about all you exalted "Only Ones" and your well-placed shots again. We're the Walter Mittys living in a fantasy world and you, why, you're community heroes!

You and your comment fanboy "BigFoot" reminds me of the loudmouthed know-it-alls who are fixtures at the types of gun stores that drive away both the new, who feel bullied, and the discriminating, who won't stand for it.
