Mance v Sessions: 5th Circuit Sides with Govt.
Don't Blame Men for Lunatic Cat Ladies
Don’t Blame Mental Illness for Mass Shootings; Blame Men [More]It's pretty obvious Laura Kiesel doesn't actually know any and probably never will.
Of course: "Cat lover."
I think this was her in that writing class...

Muslim convert professor sends students running scared out of classroom [More]That reflects as much on the students as it does on the freak.
No one thought to demand why they were paying good money for a class only to be subjected to lunatic ravings and having their advancement schedules sabotaged?

Struggle Session
Chinese authorities shut down Marriott International's Chinese website after discovering the company listed Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and Macao as countries. Craig S. Smith, the president and managing director of Marriott's Asia-Pacific office, apologized for the incident ... Marriott International CEO Arne Sorenson also released an apology. [More]Just like the good old days!
A Welcome New Addition
Hassan quit St. Kate’s last fall. She told police she started the fires because “she’s been reading about the U.S. military destroying schools in Iraq or Afghanistan and she felt that she should do exactly the same thing,” according to the charges ... “You guys are lucky that I don’t know how to build a bomb because I would have done that,” she allegedly told police. [More]Would it be presumptuous, racist and xenophobic to wonder when and why her family came here, and how "rigorous" the process was?

A Not-So Secret Weapon
She also sent several high-profile names from the list to another contact, a left-wing activist who she knew might take more radical action—like posting their identities and photos online, for the public to do with what it would. ... Squire, a 45-year-old professor of computer science at Elon University, lives in a large white house at the end of a suburban street. [More]The two-story Colonial with the double garage and brick front steps?

You Can't Make This Stuff Up
"I am thrilled to have the chance to engage with William and Mary students about a vital topic — ethical leadership,” said Comey, in a prepared statement announcing the course. [More]Anybody know if they're sending out solicitation brochures to sign up for the course through the Post Office? I'm thinking a mail fraud complaint may be in order...

And Now, the Rest of the Story
Are We Revising NRA History? [More]"We" aren't. But Marion Hammer is.
Here's the Jeff Knox response I've been eagerly awaiting for.
I'm sure "The Winning Team" spinmeisters are frantically trying to figure out the best way to do damage control on this. I won't be surprised to see them distance themselves and in effect, throw her under the bus if need be -- and if they can, providing she doesn't know where some skeletons are closeted.
F, Maybe if This or That, = MA
The NRA needs to fight for Gun Rights, not Social Conservative Issues that might, two or three steps later, maybe, if this or that affect gun rights. [More]Told ya the issue would be avoided with a straw man argument. And great rebuttal by James Russell Bailey. I'm not really free to get into comment section debates, so I'm grateful to see some who get it and are willing to stand with me, because it does get lonely out there at times.
Not the first time Rob's been utterly and unapologetically wrong about politics, about RKBA, and about what I advocate.
So has this risen to "coincidence"?
Just Like Big Boy Media
Oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to apply the same "journalistic standards" on full display by the DSM.
We're the Only Ones Clueless Enough
Robberies and burglaries targeting firearms sellers are skyrocketing, and law enforcement doesn’t know why. [More]Seriously? What does that tell us about them?
Naturally Giffords trophy fed David Chipman -- the only "expert" Bloomberg "News" could evidently find -- insinuates the "responsible solution" is for more state diktats to burden and/or penalize proprietors.
Hey, why don't we take that approach with rape victims?

I Have to Say I'm Disappointed
I was hoping some idiot would show up in comments and try to ignore answering the questions and then straw man argue his way around my challenge. [More]
I do have a colleague who has been trying to get his state group -- one that is finding it increasingly difficult to cope with a growing electoral reality -- to get on board. They're still in denial, with some in "leadership" maintaining the answers is inclusiveness.
Like Europe?
And naturally, none of those objecting have even tried to address my challenge.
Another colleague told me some are pointing to individual examples of sterling supporters from the immigrant community. That goes without saying. When you show numbers that 75% are dead set against RKBA, that means up to 25% can be for it, albeit to what degree is unknown.
And as for outreach, by all means. Anybody see a comprehensive one, with the means and the reach to compete with media and the "education" system? Any clue as to how effective that competition will be? Isn't it a little late to be starting one, and who will control the message, the same "leaders" caving on bump stocks and "Fix NICS"? Got realistic numbers for how long the turnaround will take, and what will happen to the legislatures and courts in the mean time?
You'd think if there were answers to any of these questions, Grover and Reason and Cato and Fairfax would be all over them. The newest weak tea being brewed is that more immigrant children are culturally assimilating via language and lifestyles.
Yeah. Now look at the influences. And they conveniently leave unmentioned how politically, the numbers are growing in the wrong direction. Just look at the protesting DREAMers.
And note many of influence,including "community leaders," argue for maintaining the old ways, that is, for Balkanization.
There is literally no defensible excuse any "gun rights leaders," either nationally or at the state level can offer to justify their silence on this. They are either obtuse or compromised. Neither kind is ultimately worth following.
