Trump Pentagon Health System Pick’s Opinion on Guns Shows He is Unsuitable for Position

“I’d also like to, and I may get in trouble with other members of the committee, just say how insane it is that in the United States of America a civilian can go out and buy a semi-automatic assault rifle like an AR-15, which apparently was the weapon that was used,” retired Air Force Colonel Dean Winslow, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the military’s health care system, told the Senate Armed Services Committee...

What's insane is an administration that owes its victory to gun owners then putting gun-grabbers in positions of influence -- and us just taking it lying down.

The Real Donkeys

Not just disliked, but loathed, by their own voters. [More]

Yep. I know I do.

And you've gotta wonder how much of that is due to their blindness vs. an engineered sellout.

On a tangentially-related noted, it looks like NRA has parted ways with Todd Vandermyde. If there's a reason I have not heard it, but forgive me if I speculate there was a perceived need for a fall guy.

The one time I met him he seemed cordial enough, but I've had my differences.

Yeah, better to impose due process-free prior restraints and enact Pez dispenser limits, right, An...uh...Angus?

Besides, he's working on a plan to make that all moot.

Because Nothing Says Safety Like Utter Helplessness

The problem for Trump's argument is that, outside of a handful of anecdotes here and there, there is very little empirical evidence that suggests the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. [More]

Tell you what, Chris and John: Why don't you answer the same question I pose to all self-appointed "experts"?

We're the Only Ones Going to the Dogs Enough

A retired St. Louis County Police sergeant who says he shot an aggressive dog in self-defense was charged Tuesday with animal abuse, and doesn't understand why. [More]

Billy's Mom lets him do it.

Despite my reputedly, possibly and maybe owning a gun or two, I've had several occasions of neighborhood dogs wandering into my yard, all wary of encountering a stranger or unfamiliar territory, and in each case managed to earn trust and get them safely home.  I probably need more training, because I'm just not getting these professional outcomes.

Behind the Black Robe

Circuit Judge Ronald Duebbert was charged Monday with felony criminal sexual abuse and intimidation plus two misdemeanors alleging in part that he grabbed a client’s genitals and offered to reduce a legal fee by $100 if the man would perform a sex act on him, according to court documents filed with the St. Clair County Circuit Clerk.

[C]riminal charges against Williams would not be in the best interests of the citizens of Manhattan. [More]

Right.

He's a BLM activist who lied about the incident, lied about who he talked to, lied about being a student, and now that he's been caught dead to rights everybody's supposed to just believe he did it as a "prank"?

Fox2News proudly presents CNN propaganda.

Still, what this shows is a real deficiency in terms of propagating educational counters to gun-grabber deception with the end result that ignorance abounds.
