Moral Bankruptcy of ‘Progressive’ Celebrity Politics Displayed through ‘Oprah for President’ Push


“[W]e can uphold the Second Amendment and also reduce that violence that is robbing us of our children,” Winfrey declared while advocating for infringements. And to make sure “we” would have the votes, she called for “a clear path to citizenship for the 12 million undocumented immigrants who reside in this country.” [More]
You get a vote and you get a vote and you get a vote!

We're the Only Ones Dispatched Enough

Bank theft suspect nabbed applying for police dispatch job [More]
You'll forgive him if he presumed he'd found kindred spirits...

So "Stoney" isn't an Adjective?

Every time an individual is able to purchase a gun freely, it also creates an illegal weapon that can be sold on the black market.  [More]
What I don't get is, I thought we'd been told the Richmond problem was solved back when they were fixing Philadelphia.

Ah well. Just so they get rid of those statues.

Catch-22

The attorney general’s office counters that, “Turner has not cited any (case law) to support the theory that the First Amendment gives him a right to threaten people passing his home as long as he stays on his property.” [More]
That would be impossible to do, as the First Amendment does not "give" any rights.

You'd think an attorney general's office would know that.

We're the Only Ones Woman Hungry Enough

The former NYPD cop, who spent almost two years in prison on charges that he was plotting to kidnap, slaughter and eat young women, has penned an “extremely violent” horror novel that he hopes will rake in some green. The conviction was later thrown out after a federal judge decided it was all fantasy. [More]

BREAKING NEWS!!!


REPUBLICANS AREN'T COMPETITIVE IN BLUE STATES!!! [More]

And Democrats mean to keep things that way, as clueless GOPers are outmaneuvered at every turn...

'A Huge Win for Freedom'

House passes concealed carry gun bill in win for GOP and NRA [More]
Let's see what happens in the Senate before we start counting chickens.

The Squeaky Wheel

I wrote senator Gabbard back in November and asked him to submit a bill to repeal the ban on possession of "stun guns." [More]
And...
Senator Gabbard would be happy to introduce those three pieces of legislation (stun gun prohibition repeal, concealed carry, and ammunition magazine). He’ll send you the drafts when we have them ready.
When he does, you'll read about it here.

'What is Permissible and What is Not'


What are they going to do when the Ninth Circuit shoots them down and SCOTUS declines to grant cert? [More]

It's not like California "gun rights leaders" have any inclination toward the "I will not comply" paradigm, and it's not like they want to address why their deliberate indifference to cultural terraforming has helped ensure that they'll never vote their way out.

We're the Only Ones Ready for Your Close-Up Enough

“We’re just getting this testing stage off the ground, and we’re hoping in the near future we’ll have a variety of departments adopt it,” he said. [More]
They won't, at least it won't be widespread, although the $500 per unit price tag offers a powerful incentive for opportunistic administrators to get "creative." And I expect police union reps like Liberty Lynchin' Patrick will have something to say about why his guys are above being second-guessed.

More likely, taking their cue from "smart gun" development, opportunistic politicians will demand they be required on "civilian" guns, and the self-incrimination potential be damned.

What's the difference between a "public/private partnership" and "economic fascism" again...?

The View from Our Friends on the Left

White supremacists everywhere and the Koch brothers, and others trying to steal public lands will be rejoicing today as a Nevada jury found the Bundy brothers and five other armed “patriots” not guilty in their federal trial ... The lawyers for these dicks could not be happier, and will be looking at making more of that white supremacist money in the future as they will likely be called upon to defend future armed domestic insurgents. [More]
The myriad meltdowns in comments are equally revealing.

Can there be no peace between our peoples?

Do you want it with such as these, when the price they demand is so obvious?

Addendum:

I see the article Kos links to includes an outraged quote from a Center for Biological Diversity rep.  I wonder if he could help me get another ashtray, because it looks like a discontinued item...

The kapos at the ADL look like they're crapping their pants, too. G-d forbid people have the means to resist monopoly of violence enforcers.


Extortion by Any Other Name

Democrats Holding Spending Bill Hostage Over DACA [More]
Gee, too bad those with the reach to help explain what's at stake find it more advantageous to sit on their hands, increasing the likelihood  of poltical "compromise" under cover of "demand" by a manipulated public.

In Common Use

Amicus Brief on California Confiscation of Standard Magazines [More]
He does reference militia use, which is good.  My layman's concern is that arms "in common use" by the military are what need to be definitively recognized.

I'd like to see this Kolbe brief repurposed for Duncan.

Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor Heat Nor Gloom of Night


Nope, doesn't say a word about turkeys... [More]

It figures everybody's hands are tied due to a city ordinance. And the idiots responsible for voting local government into power are the ones making continued invasion attractive.

It's almost like there's an analogy here.

Or two...

The Meat of the Matter

Greenaway notes that “most meat processing plants are now staffed almost entirely by immigrant and refugee populations from places like Somalia, Latin America and South Asia.” [More]

A Physical Response-Meriting Threat

Eliot Spitzer — who once warned a rival, “I am a f–king steamroller” and promised an ex-hooker “a slow, painful death” — threatened to stab a restaurant patron’s privates after getting ribbed by the stranger... [More]
Remember him? The creep obsessed with disarming those he ruled before disgracing himself out of power?
