Gun Nonviolence

Two good Samaritans suffered stab wounds on Sunday when they tried to come to a woman’s aid in a Publix parking lot in Seminole. That’s when Pinellas County deputies say a third good Samaritan with a gun stepped in and put an end to the struggle without firing a shot. [More]
So violence was stopped, peace was restored and lives were saved thanks to a murderous, knuckledragging, racist ammosexual with a gun?

The title is a term that ought to be used.

Taking the High Road?

Nice strawman argument, equating defining the enemy with name-calling.  [More]

Here's why he consistently does it:
I am a liberal...
Right.

You can't enable the enemy and be a friend. And denying the nature of that enemy is either a calculated act of deception or proof of useful idiocy.

Anybody think anything less than lives and freedom are at stake?

A Bipartisan Push



It goes in easier if you grab your ankles. [More]

Tillis again.

You know, the "top recipient of NRA support."

Vote the "right way" on guns now and prep for the long run with plausible deniability for the inevitable decisions.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

Stop the Threat

"Road Rage Intervention" comes from Episode 12 of Season 7. Adrenaline flows as two drivers engage in road rage after one is nearly run off the road. A screaming match ensues at the stop sign and fists are flying. A couple witnessing the two men make a decision to intervene. [More]
Blessed are the peacemakers...?

Profiles in Apathy Redux

It's been up three weeks, has less than two to go and is only a quarter way to 80K? [More]

So much for "our" strength being grassroots vs. Astroturf.

Moldy labia!

An Ideal Solution?

That’s why we created the Ideal Conceal Cellphone Pistol, the discreet and easy-to-use double-barreled derringer that’s designed to look like a smartphone when folded up. [More]
We've talked about this before with mixed feelings. A major point in its favor is that Chuck Schumer got his knickers twisted.

Free advice to the webpage author:  Lose the line "The 2nd Amendment gives Americans the fundamental right to bear arms..."

If you don't know why, you've got some basic catch-up to do.

We're the Only Ones Possible Enough

He held open the possibility that the placement of drugs in the can was a reenactment of finding a second bag at some point when body cameras weren't rolling, but said that would be "inconsistent with the way that police officers do business." [More]
Yeah, sure.

With this line of bull coming from the top, who still thinks it's not systemic?

And why are the co-conspirators still unidentified?

Predictable Outcome

“He had a knife, I had pepper spray,” Lopez-Rivas told News 4 JAX. “And even though I ran for blue lights that are scattered all around, [he was] faster, stronger, and I did not win. . ." [More]
Don't worry, Charles K. Smith will save you!

Curious, how "egalitarian" Opposite Day "progressives" oppose equalizers...

Rules of the Road


But it's dated. These days it should probably say "How Not to Get Shot By the Police." [Watch]

‘Lies of Omission’ Offers Millennials Perspectives on Guns, Freedom


“Share this with your children & grand-children … If they are getting their information from their iPhone or ANY of the mainstream media outlets who pander to those in power – PLEASE – get them to devote an hour to watching this. Hopefully, a light will come on; something which is often unavoidable when facts collide with perceptions. Then encourage them further to fact-check what they hear in this film.” [More]
If you could speak to the younger generation, what would you say?
