Unfortunately, Trump Message of Unity Following Las Vegas Massacre is Wishful Thinking


I wish he were right, but he’s not. The blame and hatred coming from the citizen disarmament camp is palpable. Celebrities are piling on. Politicians and gun-grab zealots are dancing in the blood, which they blame on NRA, on “conservatives,” on whites, and on anyone else the collectivists choose to smear as “Nazis” and “fascists.” [More]
The message to take away from this as the story unfolds and demands to "do something" get more belligerent: "No. We will not disarm."

About Those 'Anti-Government Militia Extremists'...


Oath Keepers is going into Puerto Rico this morning to assist Dr. Alison Thompson and her team from Third Wave Volunteers as they attempt to save the life of a child who has been manually ventilated ever since the hospital generators and back up batteries failed.   They will be flying in by private chartered plane into Aguada in NW Puerto Rico, where they will evacuate the critically ill child, flying the child to a fully functioning hospital in the Continental United States. [More]
Rolling-in-riches Southern Poverty Law Center could not be reached for comment. They were too busy smearing patriots as haters.

How effective would a different policy have proven?  We'll never know.

What we do know is how effective existing policy has proven.

And no idea how this applies to hotel guests with concealed carry permits...

Pelosi Exploits Scalise Welcome in Congress to Push Citizen Disarmament


Pelosi was exploiting an occasion she’d described as “joyous” earlier in the day to do some public blood dancing and attack Republican initiatives to lessen restrictions on the government’s interpretation of “shall not be infringed.” Specifically, she was putting out the scare against the national Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38) and the Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act (H.R.3668 – SHARE Act), and particularly its provision for removing suppressors from National Firearms Act requirements. [More]
Submitted for publication before news of last night's atrocity broke -- and you'd better believe there will be RINOs trying desperately now to figure out a way to disassociate themselves from forward movement on reciprocity and SHARE.

Into the Fray

The only conservatives that matter are those we conservatives succeed in electing to office, and this book will teach you how to get into the fray to make that happen. [More]
I've known, worked with and been a friend of Dan Schultz for a long time. I've written about his strategy before, too.

Driving Force



"Driveway Theft" comes from Episode 7 of Season 8. A husband waiting for his wife to dress, goes out to “warm” the car and returns inside. Looking out the window he notices someone stealing the car from his driveway. He runs out and takes aim at the car as the thief drives down the street. [Watch]
It's also on Amazon Prime.

We're the Only Ones Licensed Enough

Jared Taylor choked a man until he blacked out. Steven Brown fired a .38 Special during a confrontation with his fiancĂ©e. Tom Bernardson punched a man so viciously that he put him in the hospital with a concussion. All three were convicted in Minnesota courts. And all three still work in law enforcement. They are among hundreds of sworn officers in Minnesota who were convicted of criminal offenses in the past two decades yet kept their state law enforcement licenses... [More]
Hey, if they don't have a propensity for violence, what use are they?

Domestic Enemies


Know your enemy. [More]

They're well-financed, hiding behind a proxy on their website and if they're a corporate entity in any state, I have not found it yet.

We'll revisit them later.  In the meantime, here's their website, their Facebook page, their Twitter feed, their Instagram account and their YouTube channel.

We're the Only Ones Ranging Enough

A Summit Metro Parks ranger is on paid leave, accused of following a pair of senior citizens back to their home, and roughly arresting them, after they honked their horn at him. [More]
Naturally responding "Only Ones" sided with Ranger Rick.

Oh, that's right, we don't know his name, at least from this account. We know Carl's and Margaret's, but we need to go elsewhere to identify our excitable neighbor.

Mandalay Bay


I know how I'll be spending the day.

For right now, I've got some needed stuff to take care of first, including completing and sending in my latest GUNS Magazine article and publicizing my latest AmmoLand piece, and then I'll get to work on piecing together what I see that I think we need to focus on.

The antis are in full eye-rolling feeding frenzy. Let's not join them in mindlessness.

UPDATE:

This Twitter search is something to keep an eye on.
