Australian Gun Owner’s Proposed ‘Happy Medium’ Overlooks ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’

Some of us aren't “sporting shooters.” Some of us are fighting for nothing less than freedom and we know what’s at stake. We also know that the gun-grabbers will happily accept any incremental concessions they can swindle us out of and then complain about how “extremist gun nuts” are unwilling to “compromise.” Cede to them a beachhead without a fight and they’ll use it to launch their next incursion, because their long-stated goal, before they felt compelled to mask it, is to have it all. Any sop thrown their way in an attempt to appear “reasonable” makes about as much sense as throwing a scrap of flesh to a circling pack of jackals and expecting them to go away sated and to leave you unmolested.

Sometimes bad ideas are offered in good faith by sincere people who haven't considered all the ways their proposals can result in evil rather than good.

'A Good Start'? For What?

Firearms and Explosives Office - FEOJune 20 at 2:24am · Quezon City, Philippines · FOR INFORMATION and Dissemination:All Permits to Carry Firearms Outside of Residence (PTCFOR) are hereby suspended in the entire island of Mindanao for the whole duration of Presidential Proclamation of Martial Law. (See attached photo: Memorandum signed by PDG RONALD M DELA ROSA,Chief,Philippine National Police) [More]

I'm told he did it on his own "authority."

Here's a backup story. Naturally, the "Authorized Journalists" call it "a good start," making it fair to ask what the end is going to look like.

I bet all the exemptions still apply.

Broome or Bust

So much for Happy Ramadan. [More]

If he stole, do they get to cut his hand off?

I also don't get:

We do believe he has left the country. We have information to indicate that ... According to officials, Abdullah was sent to the Broome County Jail to wait for arraignment. 

Huh?

There's a lot more to this story than we're seeing here, and I'm afraid there are those with a rigorous agenda and incentive to obscure some particulars.

A Gun in the Home!! And Near a SCHOOL!!!

[Insert name of gun-grabber here] would rather the resident had been killed than armed. Especially since the predators had a gun, which would have offered a superb blood-dancing opportunity.

We're the Only Ones Grounded Enough

Police on the scene told the off-duty officer to get on the ground and surrender. He complied with their commands. When another officer recognized him and told the others to let him get up, another officer shot him. [More]

Sorry, I thought you said "Light him up..."

The Lesson of Placeism

Anyone who believes "We live in a safe neighborhood, it can never happen here" is a fool. [More]

Ask Sharon Tate. Or William Petit.

Several summers ago, we noticed smoke billowing over some nearby trees and then all kinds of emergency services started showing up. Yet we live in the safest part of one of the safest cities in the country.

A prudent person would not mistake that for a pass to go oblivious.

A 'Progressive' Admission

WHY NO ONE SHOUTS 'JESUS IS GREAT' WHEN THEY KILL [More]

I saw a blurb the other day for Adult (and there's a misnomer) Swim's "Black Jesus," and realized that understanding "progressives" constantly ridiculing the central figure in Christianity, but not Mohammed, is more nuanced than they know they'd be marked for death -- which they would be.

Every time they diss Jesus, they're tacitly admitting they believe Muslims are primitives from an inferior culture who are unable to control their savagery. Otherwise, why be afraid to ridicule them and their beliefs?

The Temporary Safety Ain't Working. We Want Our Essential Liberty Back

In fact, tens of thousands of computer systems all over the world have been “backdoored” by the same N.S.A. weapons. Mr. Ben-Oni and other security researchers worry that many of those other infected computers are connected to transportation networks, hospitals, water treatment plants and other utilities. [More]

That's some"national security" we're being forced to pay for there.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Conservative' Is

MSNBC Gives Conservative Radio Host Hugh Hewitt a Show [More]

The guy who helped Hillary by playing coy on Trump until he could no longer hold out, and who figures 2A only rates intermediate scrutiny?  The guy who says "Listen to [Rubio]" on immigration? That "conservative"?

By picking "Republicans" like Hewitt and the wretched Joe Scarborough, MSNBC presumes to set itself up as the arbiter of conservatism, feeding the lie that everyone "to the right" of the controlled opposition is an "extremist."

Tricks of the Trade

California is restricting publicly funded travel to four more states because of recent laws that leaders here view as discriminatory against gay and transgender people. All totaled, California now bans most state-funded travel to eight states. [More]

So we can no doubt expect them to speak out, shame and act strongly where they can to discourage continued significant trade with a place that puts such people to death...

Or are those concerns significant sources of campaign contributions?

Somebody must have told ol' Charlie he'd wrung all the photo ops out of that inert tube that he was going to get -- at least for this year. I wonder how many guys he had standing beside and behind him.

White Plains Privilege

Members of the all-Democratic City Council in suburban White Plains rewarded their party’s well-connected chairwoman with a plum six-figure judicial seat — even though she was too sickly to work, critics charge. City Judge Elizabeth Shollenberger — who suffers from a digestive disorder and morbid obesity, among other ailments — was unable to climb the three steps to her courtroom bench, even with the help of a specially installed railing...“She would come in and we would see the diarrhea running down her leg and to the floor,” one court worker said. “She would soil the chair and then ask for a new one."[More]
