It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Arsenal' Is

Upper Darby police showed evidence they say they pulled from Sun’s bedroom, including a military-style ballistic vest, ski mask, military web gear with pouches to hold ammunition clips, a high-powered crossbow and arrows, a bullet loading dock for an AR-15 and AK-47, an empty box for a gun-making kit, 20 live round, ear protectors for firing, and a strangulation device called a garrote.

Paralyzing Discombobulation Made Easy

In America white guys receive lots of signals—from the news, from their communities, from elected leaders—that violence might be an acceptable answer to their troubles. People of other colors and non-Christian faiths don’t. [More]
Yes, that's what she said.

That's a weapons-grade bit of terminal cognitive dissonance right there. In a way, it reminds me of the killer joke.

We're the Only Ones 'You Got 30 Minutes' Enough

Two city police officers have been suspended without pay after prosecutors accused them attacking a Domino's manager while on duty. Rodney Clark and Courtney Solomon are both charged with disorderly conduct, harassment and making terroristic threats for the incident that occurred on Tuesday, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a statement. [More]
Hey, it's Jersey. It's not like any state where citizens allow themselves to be effectively disarmed has to worry about what the mundanes think.

Just a few bad apples?
This is the latest episode of bad news for the police department. Eleven cops, including the former police chief, have pleaded guilty in federal court to collecting pay for off-duty jobs they did not perform. Earlier this month, another officer was sentenced for striking a man with his police car during an arrest. Four others face charges related to a scheme to falsify timesheets. Four additional cops were indicted last year on charges related to a high-speed police pursuit that ended in a fiery crash...

Citibank Promotes ‘Former’ Violent Crack Dealer and ‘Gun Criminal’ while Imposing Restrictions on Law-Abiding


There are reasons why some of us who have our firearms purchases choices denied by corporate parasites find Citibank’s promotion of Jay-Z so hypocritical. [More]
It's clear which values are in Citi’s financial interests to promote.

When Totalitarians Rule

Anyone with the power to bestow "rights" has the power to withhold them. [More]

There's a word for such psychopaths.

And a way to deal with them.

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

The measure, known as the NICS Denial Notification Act, would require the FBI to “alert state law enforcement within 24 hours when individuals ‘lie and try’ to purchase firearms, which can be a warning sign of criminal behavior." [More]
Co-sponsored by Fairfax darlings John Cornyn and Lindsey Graham!

Look!  We're "doing something!" Now you'll back off, huh?

As of now it looks like it's got a 14% shot.

Herschel has more.

That's actually a great diversionary argument.

We're the Only Ones Fishy Enough

Cuyahoga County sheriff's deputies are investigating the mysterious poisoning of a county probation officer's pet goldfish.  [More]
Really, "deputies" as in plural? Ah well, it's only tax plunder.

Something about this whole story sounds fishy, but at least while they're occupied with that they're leaving the rest of us alone.

I'll Take That Bet

A prediction. When the dust settles and the fury wanes, Congress will not pass additional gun-control laws. [More]

We're the Only Ones Military-Style Enough

Some Tempe motorcycle officers now carry AR-15 rifles [More]
Find the missing word: "Assault." 

Go on, try to find it.  That and "weapons of war."

There's a familiar tactic at play here.  And some familiar players.

"Part of the USA Today network."

"A Gannett publication."

Yeah, It's the Patriarchy's Fault

If women like myself decide that we need to protect ourselves from violence, then surely this says more about our patriarchal society than the women who suffer because of it. [More]
Because Lord knows it couldn't say anything about "progressive" attitudes that support citizen disarmament, irresponsible obliviousness about forgetting you're carrying a weapon, and sheer idiocy of opening up to the police.

And Lord knows women never initiate violence.

All I Need to Hear

Bradley gave police countless stories about how he once  played “prominent roles” in the Obama campaign... [More]
Well that settles it for me: Guilty. And nuts.

What a Little Nazi Punk


I'm tellin' ya, just let these kids run off with no checks and they'll show everyone capable of thinking what ugly little monsters they are. [More]

Yeah, I know, the "capable of thinking" part is the weakest link...

UPDATE: She caved. The Littlest Führer rejected it and issued demands.

You can't give jackals a scrap and then think they'll leave you be. Why that's so difficult for some to grok remains a mystery.

Oh, look: Some of you have already expressed concerns.

How quaint.

Any other questions?

All That's Missing is a Houseful of Cats

She said women Trump voters must have felt "inadequate" compared to someone as "educated" as Hillary Clinton and just couldn't have brought themselves to vote for someone superior to them. Bernhard said all that Hillary has accomplished is "threatening" to a lot of women which turned them off to such a person. [More]
Yeah, that must be it. Because admitting the more probable alternative would call for a bottle of pills.

Hey, I thought "comedians" weren't supposed to steal material...?

The again, talking points are meant to be parroted and spread, correlation and causation be damned.

One Way or the Other



Which is it? It can't be both.
