"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance." [More]
They count on us not having the wherewithal to fight back, and all go home at the end of the day with no skin off their noses. That should change. There should be personal accountability for their part in tyranny.
Every damned one of them.

Speaking of Dumb Arguments
Yes, absolutely it makes sense to have such laws even though criminals won't obey them, because if and when they're stopped or caught they deserve to pay for the damage they've done. No one argues otherwise about guns.
But he wants to expand infringements and punishments to be applied to prior restraints that have nothing to do with harmful actions. That's bait and switch, and a very disingenuous form of argument.
As for his (Alinsky Rule 5) ridicule that "nobody has ever complained that the government is trying to take our cars away," the same can't be said about guns.
As for making laws being "literally the only job" of lawmakers, yes, of course -- within the confines of "the supreme Law of the Land" and delegated authority. It doesn't matter how many "lying or deluded" Americans ignorant of that are "begging" for usurpations -- the Bill of Rights is there to keep a majority from disenfranchising the individual.
We're the Only Ones Knowing Better Enough
Cerra "should have known better," she added. "It's difficult to understand how this could happen." [More]No it's not.

Unclear on the Concept
Christianity demands action. It insists on the protection of the innocent. [More]Right.
So why demand and insist on giving the advantage to demons lusting after their blood?
And if looking for learned theological insights to heed, might we find superior alternatives to a secular "progressive" establishment journalist with no apparent scholarly religious credentials?
How about this guy?
"He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend itself."

An Interesting Paradox
"Progressives" are now forced to choose between anti-gun sentiment and demanding they be sold. [More]
I'd like to hear why the owner suspected straw purchasing. There have been those out to destroy FFLs because sales were allowed to proceed despite flags having been raised.
If you really want to know why such caution exists, blame the damn gun-grabbers.

Angry Young Man
Lake City carjacker turns out to be 13 years old [More]What's with the "no name because he's a child" policy? Some actions merit forfeiting such consideration.
I'd also say that dispatcher subjected the victim to unnecessary risk. I would have advised to do as her captor said and get out of the car.

Priorities, Priorities
To prevent violence, we need to prioritize children [More]I thought that's what you "progressives" were doing...?
And not so fast...
How 'bout you prioritize your children, I'll prioritize mine?
Or is there some other purpose we should know about?

'An Avalanche Starts with One Pebble'
“Our new website will address problems within ICE and add transparency as we attempt to assist you in keeping your promise to America of ‘draining the swamp’.” [More]One never knows what can happen next.

Because “Allahu Akbar”
“I write this while the letters drip of pride. Yes, O religions of kufr (non-Muslims) altogether, we have indeed raided and captured the kāfirah women, and drove them like sheep by the edge of the sword. I and those with me at home prostrated to Allah in gratitude on the day the first slave-girl entered our home.” [More]Why are some American blacks attracted to this again?

Flaking Out -- Again
Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-New Mexico, and Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, announced the introduction of a bill Tuesday that they hope will increase the transparency and reporting of domestic violence in the military in the wake of the Texas church mass shooting. [More]It's "bipartisan"!
And when it doesn't work, the next increment will be private sales. It's only "commonsense." Just ask any urban gangbanger.
But talk of a slippery slope or anyone wanting your guns is just paranoid.
This creature cannot leave fast enough. Not that I think someone who has built a lucrative niche for himself based on elite connections will travel very far.

False Alarm
"Recent reports that the Army has changed medical entrance standards for those with mental health issues are inaccurate," Seamands said in the statement. "The Army has made no such policy change and follows the accession standards prescribed by the Department of Defense."[More]So no Suicide Squad? USA Today, a Gannet publication, is posting fake news?
Why, that would be unethical!

The PLCAA Loophole
Now, lawyers claim gun manufacturer Remington knowingly marketed its version of the AR-15 assault rifle to a high-risk group of young men, including shooter Adam Lanza. [More]Don't let the fact that he didn't buy the gun trouble you none. I woudn't look for this gaggle of Nazgûl to do the right thing. Meaning we might just find out if Gorsuch is all that he's cracked up to be. Assuming the Republicans don't completely self-immolate and the case gets escalated in time.

The Blessings of Liberty
Many older Americans are living a desperate, nomadic life [More]On the plus side, the cheap foreign labor making them obsolete should make the necessities they buy more affordable, right?
I wonder how much "white privilege" factors into all this...

Invasion of the Body Politic Snatchers
 |
| They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next...! |
This is a calculated process of eliminating the domestic populace with people more likely to accept and even lobby for a transition from typically democratic nation to totalitarian dictatorship that these traitorous leaders intend to control. [More]Thank goodness "the security of a free State" has nothing to do with that "single issue."
A Shotgun Blast Through the Door Should'a Done It
Joe Biden Says Hero Who Took Down Texas Church Shooter Shouldn’t Have Had AR-15 [More]Truly, they would rather see us dead than armed.
What a dolt this guy is.
Commonsense Speech Safety Laws
In some instances, it seems that they’ve failed to take commonsense precautions to prevent the spread of propaganda, misinformation, and hate speech. [More]As defined by Opposite Day "progressives."
I trust nobody thinks it's just guns they want to control...
Cards Against America
So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built. [More]I'd never even heard of these people, so I guess this is a pretty brilliant publicity campaign. Whether it sells any games remains to be seen. They look to be pretty much a one-trick pony with limited applications, and it's not hard to imagine a saturated market with sales maxing out and people moving on to the next "thing."
Sometimes obstacles require projects to be built around them. It can be done.
Morning Ho
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Monday on the show that supporters of the Second Amendment who don’t want to talk about gun control in the wake of Sunday’s mass Texas church shooting are “cowards” — even though two armed Texans reportedly chased the gunman down. [More]And what would Mika have been able to do about it had it been her who encountered the monster? What would Mourning Joe have been able to do?
Aside from popping their respective Rapexes?
Still, expect this "gun owners are cowards"meme to gain some traction for a while in the narrative talking point lexicon.
UPDATE: I wonder if things would have turned out differently had Lori Klausutis been armed or if that would have just made her a "coward"...
‘Bad Guy with a Gun’ Not Stopped by California’s Strict Gun Laws
This report is being filed shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. By the time it is posted at midnight, expect new information not included above to be released, possibly showing cites to be obsolete or flat-out wrong. That’s the nature of breaking news. [More]The "progressive" answer to all this is for you to be utterly useless to yourself and all others at repelling ALL those who would kill you.
