Daily Defense



I'll be joining Armed American Radio host Mark Walters this afternoon at 4 Eastern to talk about whatever he feels like bringing up. Click "Listen Live Mon.-Fri." on the AAR website to hear the program.

But the Point Is It COULD Happen

“It is good to know that this event didn’t happen,” he said. “We all must remain vigilant in the fight against hate, racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia to make sure our city remains an inclusive place.” [More]
Which, of course, precludes any kind of punishment for the little liar and her corroborating brother, including finding out if anyone older put her up to it...

Will Consider Asking

Way to strap 'em on and show us how decisive and commited to principle you can be, supes! [More

Even if they manage to stand fully erect, that still won't solve a glaring problem for citizens dragooned into service and forced to be endangered.

We're the Only Ones Broken In Enough

Two St. Louis County police vehicles were broken into while parked in residential driveways, and two guns were stolen from one of the cars. [More]
If this doesn't scream a need for plugging holes in NICS, nothing will.

That's Racist!

Blacks killing blacks is problem African-Americans have to address, St. Louis public safety director says... Of the city’s 205 murders last year, 204 of the victims were African-Americans, Edwards said. “One hundred percent of the people that were caught and accused of those crimes were African-Americans. We have to address that. We cannot go forward and continue King’s dream unless we look in the mirror and address that problem. That’s a problem that’s on us.” [More]
Well now wait a minute... what about making sure I'm subject to prior restraints without due process...?  What about bump stocks...?

He Feels Bad Enough Already

Richard Rapoza, the official spokesman for EMA, declined to identify the errant employee and added, “At this point, our major concern is to make sure we do what we need to do to reassure the public. This is not a time for pointing fingers.” [More]
Sure it is. But they're protecting more than him.

Besides, Democrats have no problem pointing fingers at  Trump.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

A firearms dealer has been found guilty of supplying illegal handguns and home-made ammunition linked to more than 100 crime scenes, including three murders. [More]
Give it time. We ain't seen nothin' yet.

A Self-Defeating Effort

James Ostrowski, a lawyer for the local Libertarian party, told The Buffalo News his clients were not surprised by the ruling and planned to appeal the case to the U.S. 2nd Circuit and the Supreme Court if needed. [More]
Let's see...seven Clinton appointees, two by Carter, five by Obama, seven by GW and one by Reagan...? 14 to eight Democrats over "acceptable Republicans"...?

And if SCOTUS doesn't hear it?

It's not like the LP platform doesn't ensure the imbalance will become even more irreversible.

Steam Cleaning

17 gun-control bills were vaporized today! [More]
Will Virginia gun owners go back to sleep or help keep the fires stoked?

One Last Grasp at the Controls


Republican statist Christie sucks up to Mothers Against Drunk Droners on his last day of office. [More]

So what penalties are there if you refuse a breathalyzer, assuming the incident report doesn't just claim you went for your waistband?

Pick Your Poison

National security experts fear that any data from a Huawei device, for example about the location of the phone's user, would be available to Chinese government intelligence services. [More]
Who thinks they don't already have backdoor access by spying on (or bribing) our guys who are spying on us?

Illegal Procedure

The office of inspector general found that between 2013 and 2015, ICE was not screening illegal immigrants who had been released for terrorist ties. [More]
If you've got them and you know they're illegal, why would you release them regardless?

Office of Population Replacement Protection


Here's the answer to "What could be worse than Christie?" [More]

Son of Anality


Pretend-tough guy Ron Perlman lets slip his inner Nazi:
And he wants ultimate power to make his dreams come true. But God help you if you do this when he gets it.


*I think it's both funny and telling that on his own, Shillboy doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're." Meanwhile, his sycophants praise what a great writer he is and totally ignore that he had to bring in professional help.

The Demographic Death

Yet the future alarmed Europeans are resisting is a future U.S. elites have embraced. Among the reasons, endless mass migration here means the demographic death of the GOP. In U.S. presidential elections, persons of color whose roots are in Asia, Africa and Latin America vote 4-1 Democratic and against the candidates favored by American’s vanishing white majority. Not for the first time, liberal ideology comports precisely with liberal interests. [More]
Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Does it?

Hawaii Missile Alert Screw-Up Highlights Dangerous Anti-Gun Culture Planning Flaws


The Hawaiian state government’s emergency preparedness guidelines are equally deficient. Note the total lack of any discussion on having the means of defense, that is, on having adequate firearms, ammunition and training to deal with catastrophic disasters that will leave people on their own for untold lengths of time. [More]
At least there'll be plenty of long pig for the luau.

The Enema Within

Once again the NRA is being threatened by the enemy within and I’m reaching out to ask for your help. Unfortunately, NRA Board elections provide opportunities for people with interests other than those of NRA, to make moves to disrupt NRA, our mission and our cause. That is happening now. [More]
Uh-oh.  Wayne's in-his-pocket Nominating Committee may be losing total control to upstarts. Time to attack opposition motives. If this doesn't stop, they'll have to publish another "flush the reformers" ad.

Naturally, ol' "good, honest, law-abiding Americans ... obey... the law" Marion supports Grover.
