I Support the Right to 'Bear Arms'. I Shoot Weekly at a Range. Got it?

People who oppose restrictions on bump stocks-are you kidding me? People who oppose restrictions on high capacity magazines-are you kidding me? Those of us who own guns for home defense, recreational shooting or hunting don’t need bump stocks or high capacity magazines. [More]
Yeah, I got it. Are you kidding me?

If it were my range, I'd tell you to get the hell off it.

Got it?

A Capital Idea!

It’s hard to take pity on Remington, the firm that manufactured the assault-style rifle used to murder 20 first-graders and six of their teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. [More]
What kind of douche would blame them for that?

Oh.

As for the rest of his idea, I like it-- it Remington is going to die anyway, let Bloomberg et al. save the investors from financial ruin, and then we can boycott it and make him waste even more money that could otherwise have been used to fund subversion.

If they can, can they have a gun?

False Alternatives

After an ACLU consent decree with the Chicago Police Department dramatically reduced the number of stop and frisks, homicides significantly increased as a result. [More]
Well, if Chi-Town "Only Ones" can do it to them they can do it to you, and it's not exactly like they have a stellar record that inspires confidence in Constitutional fidelity. So is the "solution" to ignore the Fourth Amendment, or is it to finally acknowledge an inescapable truth and to stop the coerced subsidizing of those who can't -- or won't-- be trusted without a custodian?

'T'aint Nobody's Business if I Do

On Tuesday, March 27th, the Nebraska Legislature is expected to debate LB902, on General File, to ensure that personal information contained in Firearm Permit and Purchase records will be protected from public records requests. [More]
What kind of evil stool sample would demand otherwise? And what are these "records" of which they speak?

Far from the Tree?

Kenneth Glasgow, 52, a half-brother of Rev. Al Sharpton, was arrested Sunday, March 25, in Dothan, Ala., in connection with the killing of Breunia Jennings, 23, who was shot in the head, police said.  [More]
What, Al didn't snitch him out...?

Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe, Period

Cases Of Tuberculosis Up 10% In NYC, Most Patients Are Foreign Born [More]
Brought to you by Democrats yearning to gain votes and Republicans yearning for cheap labor. They get enough of those and a few of you or yours getting infected is an acceptable loss to them.

Besides, it's not like this has anything to do with that "single issue."

Speaking Truth to Power

Eagles of Death Metal's Jesse Hughes, a survivor of a mass-shooting incident, called the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School "disgusting vile abusers of the dead" for participating in the March for Our Lives protest. [More]
True dat.

But why do we have to read about it in Rolling Stone, which spins it to bolster it's preference for us being dead than armed?  What happened to the original Instagram post, and was its removal forced?

I'm a Gun-Grabber with a Medical Degree, So You Know You Can Trust Me

The research produced from federal funding to the NIH and CDC is highly competitive, heavily scrutinized and robustly peer reviewed before publication, to ensure veracity and prevent any fabrications or falsehoods. [More]
Saying so doesn't make it so.

We'll Always Have Paris

The victim had reportedly escaped a round-up of Jews in Paris during World War II.  The group says a neighbor who had previously made anti-Semitic statements was one of the people under arrest.  They didn't confirm reports that the man was Muslim. [More]
Why didn't -- or I should say "wouldn't" -- they?

And how does this happen here?

The Weakly No Standards

Conservatives Dismiss the Kids at Their Peril [More]
Some of us aren't dismissing them, we're exposing their lunacy, and the manipulative evil of those ginning them up and pulling their strings. But if figures the neocons would counsel offering a respectful seat at the table, as if the monster's appetite can be sated.

If only we could all be more like Kasich!

Neocons. Is it any wonder I love them so?
