Retired Standing Army Brass Urge Congress to Neuter Militia with Infringements


That the prominent military leaders signing the letter willingly lend their names and reputations to advance a naked power grab agenda speaks of loyalty going first to the establishment they serve. It ought to make all consider the fears the Founders had of a standing army. [More]
So exactly what is it about the Second Amendment they “explicitly support”? Notice they don’t (and won’t) say.

Not Worth the Hassle

Texas-based Defender Outdoors posted a notice last week that, since ammo purchased from a mail-order catalog or online must be shipped to a licensed vendor after the New Year, they are ceasing all direct ammunition sales to California residents effective Dec. 17. [More]
So: If you're a CA gun owner, who's up for obeying the infringements? All "good, honest Americans" do, you know.

It's not like California's "gun rights leaders" can be expected to  deviate their messaging away from that "single issue," or talk about a new paradigm...

We're the Only Ones Passive Enough

Charlottesville review: Faulty planning, passive police led to 'disastrous results' at Aug. 12 rally [More]
I guess as long as "we" can attribute it to "mistakes, missteps and failures," real accountability can be avoided.

I'm just surprised it's not being called a "botched sting."

Here's the report.

Teach Your Children Well

This has to fill the newly-occupying "refugees" with both contempt as well as a sense of holy certainty in the righteousness of their takeover.  [Watch]

This is what the men behind the curtain have planned for us. The simplest explanation I can think of for their motivation is that they are evil.

Nice to see "progressives" collide on occasion.

My rhetorical question is why does this have NRA's blessing?

If Left Up to Them You'd be Toast

Waffle House said in a statement it was impressed with Bowen’s cooking skills but customers should never go behind the counter for safety reasons. [More]
Change that to "corporate liability reasons."

Since when are they concerned about customer safety?

Just a Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down

ALERT: Feinstein/Schumer sponsored gun legislation that amends the “Brady bill” will be added to Concealed Carry Reciprocity bill (HR 38) in the House this week. [More]
Well isn't this a predictable bit of divide and conquer?

A former Oklahoma police officer has pleaded guilty to a federal count of violating the civil rights of a woman he sexually assaulted during a traffic stop. [More]
Don't you just love a "happy ending"?

Best Picture

The L.A. film critics rave! [More]

Being a mere knuckledragging deplorable, I'd never heard of it, and wanted to see what had my betters so enthralled with this "heartbreaking masterpiece."

So I looked up the plot and read, among other highlights:
He sneaks into Oliver's room to smell his underwear and masturbates while thinking about him.
No wonder they hold us flyover rubes in such ruthless contempt.

A Self-Appointed Expert

Here’s how this act could be devastating for victims of domestic abuse: if someone with a history of domestic abuse is denied a gun after a background check in one state, he or she could simply go to another state that does not require background checks at the point of purchase or permits for concealed carry, purchase a gun, and carry it across state lines. [More]
What, you mean violate yet more "gun control" laws? And what does purchasing have to do with reciprocity?

I like how her source cites are either  doctrinaire gun-grabbers or else hidden behind paywalls. Not that anyone whose wedding makes the society pages is encased in a bubble or anything, although I do wonder how Bob here would do in Herschel's scenario.

Funny-- I don't see a comments section to let her know how much her obviously real world-based advice on how to make eberything better is appreciated. I see some are making up for that by reaching out to her directly.

We're the Only Ones Breaking Up Enough

On the video, DeMarco, dressed in his sheriff’s uniform and driving his unmarked sheriff’s car, approaches Solano as she walks her dog, Coco, at the Federal Highway complex. Then he pulls out his service weapon and shoots her once in the arm and twice in the chest before slumping and placing the handgun to his head. [More]
I'd say more training is in order. Coco didn't even have a scratch.

Selling Down the River

"But justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream," Comey wrote on Twitter and Instagram [More]
Funny how he picked the same passage misappropriated by SPLC.  Who thinks that's just happenstance?

And How Did 'We' Get to This Point?

Gun-Rights Groups File Suit Against New California Assault Weapons Regulations [More]
I can't help but notice where this is occurring and that no one associated with the complaint has ever acknowledged the single most relevant reason California "leads the way." Unless that changes bigly, expect the old paradigm to become less and less effective everywhere. And the thing is, they've got to know that.

Does Admission Mean They'll Be Reimbursing for Losses?

ABC News suspends Brian Ross for 4 weeks over erroneous Flynn story [More]
That's what he and they consider "being held accountable"?

Will they pay back investors who lost money when the market was "rocked" by bias-influenced journalistic malpractice? Or is a contritely making restitution not part of ABC family values?

Dripping with Contempt

As a result, Nunes said he has instructed committee staff to draw up a contempt of Congress citation for Rosenstein and for FBI Director Christopher Wray. [More]
Why anyone thought a position of trust for either Rowdy Roddy or the Blumenthal clone in an administration pledging to drain the swamp was a good idea is beyond me. But it figures an old expert at stonewalling and contempt would resurface.

They Always Did Show a Bias for Aliens

The psychologists fed 15 articles — by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Post and others — through a program that analyzes written content for positive or negative words. Journalists described these events using words with “positive affect” significantly more frequently. [More]
Now do the same thing for articles in those publications about guns.
