Republicans are giving voters no reason to support them [More]And plenty of reasons not to.

Stupid Party Doing What It Does Best
[Via Mack H]
There's a Lesson in Here Somewhere
People monitored by APPS were at one point registered gun owners and became disqualified due to their crimes. [More]But what...?
Who thinks California's "sanctuary"-protected "undocumented immigrants" have bothered to document the firearms they use?
Ah well -- best to focus the suckers' attention on scary headlines about taking "grenade launchers off the streets." Between those and "bazookas," the cud chewers ought to "feel safe" until the next time it's advantageous to spook the herd.

The Most Important Point in the Long Run
THIRD PROBLEM: Amnesty for Anti-Gun Voters - The Republican leadership would reportedly provide guarantees to millions of anti-gun illegals currently in this country. Pew Research has shown that illegal aliens vote at a rate of 8:1 for Democrat candidates who are invariably anti-gun. When these “deep blue” Democrat anti-gunners become voters, the whole U.S. will become the anti-gun nightmare that California became after the 1986 amnesty bill. [More]Yep.
So why isn't NRA, which is enabling many of the other concerns, warning against this?
I just answered my own question, didn't I?
Speaking of Being Prescient
New Jersey Prepares To Raise Taxes On "Almost Everything" As It Nears Financial Disaster [More]Maybe a smaller economy that can't absorb as much means they're the canary in the coal mine for California...
And They Spelled the Name Right
“Republican majorities are in the House and in the Senate, and a Republican president is in the White House. They wouldn’t be there were it not for gun owners,” David Codrea wrote on the blog Ammoland in late December. “We’re being asked to help provide cover to rationalize yet another Intolerable Act, and this one with the sanction of our ‘gun rights leaders.’” [More]This one came out Jan. 9, but for some reason just now showed up on my Google News feed. Before accusing me of giving Bloomberg's The Trace an opening to attack NRA, ask yourself whose side in the "bump stock" debate is Fairfax on?
‘Gun Leaders’ Approve of Extreme Protection Orders Opposed by ACLU
Concessions on these measures by the NRA, which in turn gives the green light to Republicans, is nothing short of preemptive surrender. It won’t stop the Democrats from coming back for even more, especially as they perceive they can now effortlessly establish positions from which to launch their next assault. Meanwhile, they’ll still continue screaming how the “uncompromising and extremist” NRA is “a terrorist organization” (and talk about people who need to have ERVOs filed against them if allegations are all that are needed) and that Republicans are “fascists.” [More]What are we clapping and thankful for again?
Too Little Too Late?
Daniel Defense backs down. Some are not impressed. [More]
In fairness to them: Support for Fix NICS is what they were getting from NRA and NSSF. Those are the ones that should really be feeling the heat.
Legal Analysis on Florida Law
I see most of it as feel-good legislation that won’t substantively change anything, but will impose unnecessary restrictions on the rights of law-abiding Floridians. [More]I see all of it that way.

Forward Thinking?
The Remarkably Prescient 15 Year Rule Means Trump & the National Republicans are on the Verge of a Spectacular Collapse [More]The only thing "remarkable" about the "prescience" is that so many who should know better deliberately ignore it.
Does this also mean when the place implodes the rest of us will get a 15-year warning?

The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
I would’ve aborted a fetus with Down syndome [sic]. Women need that right. [More]Because exterminating "mental defectives" is the "progressive" thing to do!
I wonder -- if they ever discover that "gay gene" that's being speculated -- if she'll support the right to kill developing human beings on those grounds.
Just to be consistent (and consistently cognitively dissonant and hypocritical).
Oh look: She also only wants "state-approved" people to have guns!
As did her ideological forebears.

There's no "coexisting" with that. Either "their" vision will prevail or "ours" will. And some of us won't be around in a few decades at most.
What a curious thing for "the newspaper of record" not to utterly condemn.
Eh, not that curious.

We're the Only Ones Propertied Enough
Alabama Sheriff Used $750,000 in Taxpayer Funds to Purchase Houses [More]Hey, that's just more homes to make it to at the end of his shift.

We're the Only Ones Too Little Too Late Enough?
FBI Was Monitoring Florida Muslim Teen Who Stabbed Boy to Death in Name of Islam, Did Nothing to Stop Him for a Year [More]Young Cory certainly does look like a mess. I have to ask what he actually did before the crime that would have given them legal grounds to take him into custody and keep him there until he was no longer a danger, all consistent with due process requirements.
Of course I'd also ask what they didn't do to ascertain if that would be required.

A Measured Response
LIL WAYNE - Don't Throw S*** Onstage 'ALL MY N***** GOT PISTOLS' [More]I guess some things never change.
The Idiocracy pays well, doesn't it?
Children's Crusade Redux
Considering what's scheduled for today, I thought I'd repost the link to my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column for those who may not have seen the earlier announcement. [More]
Not Even a Gun Owner
A search of Steele’s home found no firearms, authorities said. [More]Low-hanging fruit sure makes for scary headlines, doesn't it?
We're the Only Ones Teaching Enough
The teacher was identified as Dennis Alexander, a reserve police officer for the Sand City Police Department and a Seaside councilman. Alexander was teaching a gun safety course as part of his administration of justice class when he fired a single shot from a semi-automatic handgun into the ceiling ... Three students were injured, including a 17-year-old boy who was hit in the neck by debris or a fragment after the bullet ricocheted off the ceiling... [More]Way to go, Lee Paige Award finalist. But notice how many headlines simply identify the negligent f*** as a "teacher," bolstering the armed "Only Ones" good / armed teachers bad notion. So how convenient the story also mentions:
The shooting occurs amid intense debate over whether to arm teachers in the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting...Where is he politically? Information takes time to dig, so we can look at the company he's been known to keep. I did find out he was a Peace Corps volunteer, which suggests "progressive" sympathies. I further found he teamed up with other collectivists to end Prop 13 corporate property tax exemptions to redistribute the wealth they create to public schools, and that group endorsed a host of anti-gun Democrats, publicizes "Resistagrams," endorsed California's Disarmageddon, and now calls for nationwide citizen disarmament in the wake of Parkland.
He also had the endorsement of the Central Coast Labor Council, which features praise for Hillary and condemnation for Trump on its website.
Pardon me if I smell something other than an "accident" -- something that went wrong with unintended collateral damage. It seems to me an in-depth and transparent investigation is in order.
UPDATE: Yeah, the gun-grabbers are exploiting this alright. I guess that means "progressive" cops should not be armed...? These people are such shameless liars.
