The Right Man for the Job

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opens up about wanting his sons to "escape the pressure to be a particular kind of masculine that is so damaging to men and to the people around them." [More]

I'm sure they'll love the Easy-Bake Oven and Betsy Wetsy doll.

NRA DELENDA EST

Submitted for discussion. It would be more appropriate for it to happen over there. [More]

Disenfranchising the Disabled

The retrofit was meant for individuals who have limited mobility in their hands or who have difficulties pulling the trigger multiple times.  Many detractors may not grasp why someone with such limiting factors would even want to hunt, shoot, or fire a gun, but many persons with disabilities are avid outdoor sportspeople.  There are specialized wheelchairs designed for hunting and trekking through woods and brush, adaptive crossbows, lifting tree stands, and add-ons that allow hunters with severe disabilities to fire their weapons by blowing through a straw.  Simply put, if it’s a right to own and utilize guns, the right must be extended to people with disabilities.

You wouldn't know it from the way the Palm Pistol has been treated.

Still, it's useful to get the backstory on this.  Who'da thunk it would come from Kos?

We're the Only Ones Suppressed Enough

Spokane Police will add suppressors to rifles, citing concerns about hearing damage [More]

Wait a sec... I thought the antis said that was just a gun lobby ploy...

Still, if there's anyone we can trust not to abuse exclusive powers, it's gotta be the "Only Ones"...

It's a Mystery All Right

I'd have assumed the place would still be taped off and surveilled. [More]

The War on Individuals

Illegal guns get into Chicago through lone dealers, not large trafficking organizations, and that makes any legislative action taken to stop the flow totally impractical, according to Chicago police. [More]

Which is why the "solution" is to crush the little guy?

The Wrong Question

Regular MSNBC Guest Urges Gun Control, Can't Explain How It Would Help [More]

No, of course not.

But that presupposes the intent is to help.

We're the Only Ones Photo-Opping Enough

A Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper has been placed on unpaid leave after he was accused of taking pornographic photos of a 16-year-old boy at the trooper’s home in southwest Missouri. [More]

Cover Fire

Gun Rights Group: NRA’s Support of Regulation Is Laying Down ‘Cover’ for Pro-Gun Control Republicans [More]

Not as much as its support of pro-amnesty Republicans, but so far, it looks like no "gun rights group" has made the connection to the "single issue."

Well, one did, but it seems to have backed off.

Going the Distance

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a ruling Tuesday dismissed a challenge to an Alameda County ordinance that prohibits gun stores within 500 feet of schools, liquor stores and residential neighborhoods. [More]

And if 500 feet is good, 5,000 feet must be 10 times better, right? And...

Relatively Uncontroversial Tweets

“It’s the white supremacist patriarchy, stupid” ... [More]

Yeah, hell, why would anyone be held accountable by their employer for overt racism in this day and age?

Poor victim.

Talk About Raw Talent!

This Opposite Day "culture" sure does reward predictably. [Watch -- or don't]

No!

That sums up the response I got from an NRA director I asked if the Board was consulted before management threw bump stocks under the bus. In case anyone has any doubts about ultimate Nominating Committee criteria...

I, Robot

Sikkut said he saw advantages to elevating artificial intelligence to the same judicial level as natural and legal persons. [More]

Of course.

Program an agenda, put it on an information superhighway to citizenship and let the self-replication begin...

No Voice in the Matter?

“White people do not get to tell black folks, or anybody else, what is an acceptable form of protest.” [More]

What about Koreans?

The Funniest Act in Vegas

Steve Wynn suggests that Stephen Paddock would never have been able to have carried out his massacre had he tried to do so at the Las Vegas Wynn hotel. "We don't allow guns in this building unless they're being carried by our employees"... [More]

Is it possible to be that rich and that stupid?

Expect Agenda-Advancing Activism from Anti-Gun Judge Reviewing Hillary Clinton Emails

Put another way, she unilaterally decided your life and your rights were less important than the off-chance you might fire your gun in self-defense and accidentally threaten an endangered species animal, or perhaps cause other damage by adding a minuscule amount of lead to the environment. And that’s in spite of case after documented case of threats to life in national parks that were known at the time. [More]

But she may have inadvertently given us a tool to monkeywrench the "fundamerntal transformation"...

NSSF/SAAMI Backs Team Quisling

How could they not, being "leaders" and all? [More]

It's hardly the first time.  Or the second.

Why do I picture them in women's clothes trying to board Titanic lifeboats?
