One Question

GOP-led Va. House approves 'Stop Gun Violence' license plate [More]

So who were the traitors?

Not that I really care if useful idiots want to pay money to announce to the world they're probably defenseless, but there's an expectation that's been let down here.

It's What They Do

Democrats Vow to Push for Gun Control Laws [More]

How big of an idiot do you have to be to support them in this?

Another Preemptive Strike

Ohio Supreme Court rules against Cleveland's efforts at local gun control [More]

How many times has Cleveland lost on preemption now over the years? I guess it's not really their money.

[Via Matt F]

Sure

They initially met resistance from a small, but boisterous, group defending Second Amendment rights. However, each side listened to the other's position, and support for taking guns away from domestic abusers gained an ally. "We support the moms in this. We are all against domestic abusers. We believe they're criminals. They shouldn't have handguns, or guns of any kind," said one Second Amendment right's activist. [More]

OK, I-Team Reporter David Collins of NBC's WBALTV11: Give us names that will allow their bona fides to be tested.

Coming Soon, to a Refugee Relocation Center Near You

Eritreans and Afghans fought running battles in broad daylight, some armed with rods and metal poles, television pictures showed. It was not clear who was armed with firearms. [More]

That's probably because that would be against the law in France.

N'est-ce pas?

Tell Congress to Pass S. 446 Now

The answer is that, if 1.8 million "dreamers" and perhaps millions of their relatives are given American citizenship and the vote, there's a pretty good chance that Texas, Florida, Arizona, and many other states will turn "deep blue" -- probably sooner rather than later.  [More]

Nice to see them finally making some noise about this and relating it to that "single issue."

If you have a senator worth approaching, do this.

If you don't, send a message to one who is worth approaching. If you can't do it through the GOA tool, figure out a workaround, like via email or Twitter or some such.

We're the Only Ones Immune Enough

"Sgt. Bowen made a mistake, but that should be covered by immunity," she said. [More]

Why? 

Why should any of them not be held accountable when they initiate the continuum of up-to-lethal force against innocent citizens?

Body of Evidence

Coroner Refuses to Release Las Vegas Murderer’s Autopsy [More]

So why should we believe he killed himself and why shoudn't we believe the "conspiracy theories"?

Behaving like this, why should we belive his report after he does finally release it?

Why shouldn't we be looking into any vested interest connections he may have?

Sounds Schiffty

Adam Schiff: Russian Ads Promote 2nd Amendment So We Kill Each Other (VIDEO) [More]

It's self-evident the ones being killed are not the ones who pose a check on the totalitarianism this embedded domestic enemy stands for.

So Much for Inviting Public Comment

Testimony for Hawaii's "bump stock" ban proposal [More]

Commentary from George Pace:

Tabulation:
FOR    5 (five)
OPPOSED 104 (one hundred and four)
I haven't read all the comments (and even my quick tabulation looking through over 100 pages could be off by a couple), but the support is from HPD, Maui Prosecutor, Big Island Mayor Harry Kim, Americans for Democratic Action and one individual.
Now let's see how the committee "translates" that public input into action.
I appreciate everyone who took the time to submit testimony to attempt to defensively defeat legislation to further restrict our rights.
Now, can we please take the same energy and attempt to use it to go on the offense and get the committee chairs to hear the bills to restore our rights (CCW shall issue, handgun mag limit change to 17, and end stun gun ban)?  :shaka:
* * * * *What a waste of time. I don't get it. This is "representative government"? Representing who or what?
Chairman starts off the committee meeting by saying that there are too many people who want to testify on SB2046, so (even though you took time off work and came all the way down here and maybe paid for parking, etc.) you won't be able to testify. Why have "in person" testimony if there is a "time limit" that is interpreted to mean the vast majority of people there to testify can't testify? So much for "public input".  :crazy:  :wtf:
Then there's the fact that only two of the five committee members are present, so there is no "quorum" and they can't do anything after they sit there for 90 minutes listening to all the people they did allow to testify on other bills, and postpone action until at least the next meeting on Feb 6. Why even have the meeting and hear all the "public input" (such as is allowed given the "time constraints") when the majority of the members aren't even there? It's almost like they all have their minds made up before any procedural events (testimony, meetings, votes, etc.) take place, so they haven't really missed anything by missing the meeting and the in person testimony (such as was "allowed").  >:(

That'll Teach Him

Student Getting Death Threats After Recording CA Teacher's Anti-Military Rant [More]

The guy sounds like a "progressive" douchebag. So naturally the only place he can feed from is at the public trough.

So, Shakir old bean: Just to show I'm all about equal opportunity regardless of anything else, you get the same challenge I give to so-called "conservatives."

He Aimed to Pleas

Pyle was responsible for a plea deal in which Benjamin Petty, 36, received 15 years probation after pleading guilty to raping and sodomizing a 13-year-old Texas girl at a church camp in Murray County in 2016. [More]

Somebody needs to give him piles and hear him plead.

Meanwhile, Over in the Land of 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws'

School shooting that injured four students now believed unintentional, police say; 12-year-old girl is booked [More]

But...but...but...

And did she shoot it more than once?

We're the Only Ones Getting Our Kicks Enough

Authorities are concerned with the actions of one of the deputies in particular who is seen in the cellphone video repeatedly kicking the suspect in the head after the man was handcuffed and his body limp... [More]

Which "one of the deputies"?

Sorry, he's on "paid administrative leave" and they're not saying.

"The public, who we serve."  Good one!

Improves with Age?

The survey found that the best age for sex in women is 66... [More]

Speaking of Fanatics...

I am a former Army major and a gun owner, but I am now almost embarrassed to admit that I ever was an NRA member. [More]

You should be embarrassed, and completely.

Too Little Too Late

To serve Hollywood's marquee felons like Mark Wahlberg (currently brandishing a Glock 17 as a cop in Patriots Day) and Danny Trejo (most recently armed with an M1911A1 pistol in 2013's Machete Kills) — who aren't allowed by law to bear arms — ISS has a roster of realistic electronic guns (also known as e-guns or non-guns) that can stand in for everything from Smith & Wessons to Uzis. [More]

Sure, after I exposed him -- and importantly, their liability under U.S. Code for knowingly providing him with real guns.

This after-the-fact cleanup diverts attention from what was done before he was outed. The films all have extensive financial and inventory records with designated retention periods in case of later tax audits. Those include records for  the armorers that could be easily checked.

Besides, this slick cover-up ignores one incontrovertible piece of evidence: Pokey trained at Front Sight.

If people are truly interested in "equal justice for all," a nobody rapper should not be treated differently in the eyes of the law than "progressive" Hollywood establishment elites. As ATF did when it showed deliberate indifference.

First They Came for the 'Alt-Right'

Oregon State University Student Leader Was Plastering Racial Slurs on Car Bumpers, Arrested With Eugene Neo-Nazi - Andrew Oswalt has been arrested twice at Oregon universities for spreading hateful messages and carrying a concealed weapon. [More]

The cars weren't his?

Yeah, I can see misdemeanor vandalism charges and a monetary restitution order to restore the cars to their original condition and compensate the owners for time spent dealing with it. As for the rest?

The "concealed weapon" was a knife with a 4" blade? Really? (And breaking a cardinal rule, he told an "Only One" he had it on him?)

As for his "hateful messages"?

“Many of the statements I have made do not necessarily comport with my true beliefs, because what I am doing is a form of performance art,” Oswalt said. “I attempt to communicate a particular point through what some would call mockery or lampooning.”

You want to see hate, look at those trying to destroy him -- and by extension, anyone not in lockstep with their subversion.
