The More Insidious of Two Evils

Other organizations may be happy with a hunting and fishing ballot initiative posing as pro-gun legislation, but we at GRNC are not fooled by a wispy, token gesture in the absence of real pro-gun legislative action. Second Amendment voters like you played a pivotal role in Republicans gaining and maintaining a supermajority in the NC legislature, but how has Republican leadership repaid you for this? Simple... [More]
A short term loss now that sends a clear course correction message will be less costly than letting the betrayals continue.

What's Going On in Leon Valley?

The livestreamers were arrested for threats and DOX information being posted in their live chats by other parties. The others were detained or arrested as witnesses. All recording capable electronics were taken by the police regardless if they recorded anything or not. News Now Houston and Thresa R has reported that the police are also towing cars once again.

Channeling Roseanne

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos recently told at least two news outlets that he wanted vigilantes to start shooting journalists, but he insisted Thursday that he did so to taunt reporters. [More]
I don't see how anyone will ever hire him to do what he does in today's climate of economic exile.

Even though "authorized journalists" trivialize and ridicule when such sentiment directed against those they oppose is not a joke.

And even if what he was joking about were, in real life, what Vanderboegh called "Bill Clinton's Rules of Engagement."

Mad Maxine: Fury Road

The California Democrat canceled two scheduled appearances in Alabama and Texas this weekend after saying she got threatening messages and "hostile mail" at her office, including "one very serious death threat" on Monday from an individual in Texas. [More]
Having seen time and again sentiment ("I hope") characterized as a threat ("I will"), I'll withhold judgment until after an arrest and plea, or trial and conviction.

That said, I note no constituents wondering what the hell she's doing in Alabamaa nd Texas when there are plenty of issues in the home district that need 24-7 dedication.

That said, his on the right line would help tremendously with the wall.

Immediate Thoughts on the Annapolis Shooting


Gleaned from this:
  • Don't they still sell shotguns at Dick's? What now, "sporting purpose" Fudds?
  • Maryland is a "may issue" (e.g., may not) state.
  • Reporters hiding under desks and hearing the misfit reloading without emerging to take him down (as some antis have suggested in other stories) kind of takes away their argument for insufficient capacity magazines.
  • A personal grudge against the paper takes away the argument that Trump is ginning up hate against reporters.
  • Let's hope the guy in the other office who kept two handguns in his desk drawer doesn't get in trouble with "the law." He was the only man on scene who did not "feel helpless."
  • Now that it's touched them directly, expect the media to be even more shrill in its demands for disarming you.

Treason

In legislation led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the Democrats are demanding that all immigration and border enforcement be ended across the U.S., allowing the 12 to 30 million illegal aliens living in the country and all future illegal aliens to be free to travel back and forth across the hemisphere without enforcement or protections for Americans. Every Democrat in the Senate signed onto Feinstein’s open borders legislation. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

We're the Only Ones Terrorizing Enough

On August 29, 2013, while executing a search warrant in her grand parents’ home, an officer pointed and held a loaded gun – point blank – to the chest of 3-year-old Davianna Simmons. Davianna watched another officer hold a gun to her grandmother’s head and saw a third officer repeatedly shake, strike and push her handcuffed mother into a wall. Then, while officers were searching the home, she saw and heard an officer damaging and destroying her dolls, other toys and bedroom furniture. [More]
The important thing is they got home safely at the end of their shift.

If You Need It Before Then, Tough

Ohio delays 'Stand Your Ground' law that would expand gun rights for residents ... It’s a law, very similar to that in Florida George Zimmerman cited during the Travyon Martin case. [More]
But he didn't cite it. And the curious thing, ABC affiliate WEWS, is that your network reported on that.

Funny how News 5’s Political Analyst Tom Sutton doesn't seem to grok who has the burden of proof.

Curious: A reporter, two anchors, a director, a producer, assorted news staff and a legal "expert" and no one seems to know the basics on a story they're presenting under the guise that they're authorities the public can trust to bring it to 'em straight.  All they need do is cite the Zimmerman name and they automatically plant in a significant portion of their audience the notion that the proposed law is hateful, harmful and something to oppose.

“Let me put it to you in its simplest form. I’ve been on this earth for 30 years, and there’s been so many things a Caucasian person said I couldn’t do ... Get good credit. Buy a house in an urban city,” he adds. “So many things—’you can’t do that’—whether it’s from afar or close up.” [More]

Police say the 37-year-old man was walking at the location when he was approached by two unidentified men. One of them then punched the victim in the head, causing him to fall to the ground in the middle of the intersection. The thugs then walked away. While the victim remained on the ground, unconscious, other people came up to him and began to go through his pockets, removing his phone and ID. [More]

So-Called ‘Smart Gun’ SAFETY Act Contradicts Its Name on All Counts


So naturally, the Gungrabby Gabby group is solidly behind it. They welcome all potential incremental infringements on the way to the goal of citizen disarmament, because that’s been the game plan that works. And Himes is a politician that knows his infringements, demanding no end to them, including ending private sales, imposing prior restraints, ignoring due process and banning standard-capacity magazines.

Good thing this won't go anywhere -- today. Give Democrats and Republican sellouts a few years to culturally terraform the Republic and assess the chances then.
