Hot Tips Will Go Cold


I've got obligations over the next few days that will preclude blog posts aside from announcements for my articles. Please hold off on all news tips and links until Monday. If I get any, I most likely won't be able to do anything with them and it will be a wasted effort on your part.

I'll be shutting down comments for a couple days as well.

Sorry, but meatspace calls.

It’s Getting Harder for Democrats to Deny They’re the Party of Flat-Out Citizen Disarmament


But what about so-called “pro-gun Democrats”? I maintain there is no such thing. Sure, you’ll get politicians in hunting country who appeal to the sport shooter crowd and have to vote a certain way in order to get elected—the Party allows for that so it can increase its power and influence and advance other agenda items. But when you get right down to it, not a one of them will oppose a nominee like Obama or Hillary for president or Sotomayor or Kagan for the Supreme Court, they all support the cultural terraforming of the country in order to gain Democrat voters, and they’ll even betray constituents on guns when it suits their purposes. [More]
Sure, there's no shortage of Republican squishes and even outright enemies, but the ones ready to go for the end game now all have a "D" after their names.

Amber Alert

I'd change "or" to "and."

They're not mutually exclusive, you know.

Hogg Wild?

DAVID HOGG REDDIT POST CELEBRATES MOSQUITOES KILLING “BILLIONS” OF HUMANS [More]
Because his demeanor has made his public persona so detestable to so many, there's a lot of wishful thinking fake stuff being put out there about this kid. This one looks like a bit more verification went into it, but I still suggest caution.

It's one of those things that's worth mentioning in the hopes that those with adequate investigative resources will use them.


We're the Only Ones Framing Enough

Journalist Michael Picard was illegally detained for lawfully open carrying and filming police on public property. During the illegal detainment, Connecticut state troopers confiscated his phone However, the trooper who took the phone went on to make a critical mistake when he and another officer began to make up stories on ways to frame him even after they admitted to each other that he did nothing wrong from a legal standpoint. [More]
What does it tell us, when no one voiced an objection and counseled moving on?

We're the Only Ones on Track Enough

How an extra GPS tracker on a drug dealer's car unraveled a corrupt Baltimore police force that robbed homeless people and resold confiscated heroin and ecstasy back on the street [More]
Yep, they certainly appear to be a lot more trustworthy to have a gun than you and me -- just ask any anti.

175 Traitors

Cosponsors: H.R.5087 — 115th Congress (2017-2018) [More]
Every damn one is a Democrat.

Subversive sissy Cicilline's been whoring for media attention on this for years. FWIW, this piece of treason still only has a 1% chance.

Not to say the next exploitation of the right "gun-free zone" couldn't bring a stampede or panicked "moderate" Republicans over...

Preemptive Surrenderers

ANJRPC has received reports of gun owners abandoning their (currently still legal) 15-round magazines at gun stores and other venues, under the mistaken belief that their property has been banned under A2761 - legislation that would prohibit magazines that hold over 10 rounds of ammunition. But the bill has not been signed into law yet - it has only passed in one house of the legislature. [More]
The Germans aren't even here yet and the French are already waving their white flags. Well, I guess we know who we can't count on...

Join Brian Aitken as he comes back to New Jersey for the first time since being Pardoned by Governor Chris Christie earlier this year. GlockStore and Spike's Tactical will be presenting Brian with his first firearms since his guns were confiscated over 9 years ago. [More]
We've talked about the ordeal this man was forced through many times over the years.  I don't have time to go back and recode prior posts for links, but if you want to read any of the old Examiner stuff, run the url through the Wayback Machine.


Our 2A Pals -- Until They're Not

House Republicans put the safety and lives of teachers and students at risk by killing Rep. Byrd's school grounds legislation. [More]

In the Eyes of the Law

A weeklong disciplinary hearing in Richmond involving multiple allegations of professional misconduct by Richmond attorney Joe Morrissey ended late Friday afternoon with a three-judge panel announcing that it was revoking Morrissey’s law license for the second time in his career. [More]
That ain't all the contemptible sumbitch ain't fit to be.

Keeping Stories Straight

“Rubio’s gun bill should be a public embarrassment as well as a personal embarrassment to him,” Norton told The Associated Press. [More]
Which one?

Prove Me Wrong

LEON COUNTY COMMISSION TO VOTE ON “GUN SHOW LOOP-HOLE” - THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE PUBLIC HEARING [More]
I figure if the requisite number of gun owners gave a damn, the building wouldn't be able to hold them all.  As is, my bet would be only a relative handful will even send an email.

It Takes a Village

Deerfield Bans Semiautomatic Weapons; Residents Face Steep Fines [More]
Naturally:
Law enforcement and retired law enforcement are exempt from the ban.
And all the Supreme Court has to do is nothing.

I looked at the soft, well-heeled "trustees" and can't help but wonder if proximity to Chicago may someday lead to a readjustment of attitude along with the realization that it's too late and they have only themselves to blame.

A Better Way

Utah Gun Exchange plans video hosting service after YouTube changes policies on guns [More]
Unlike deranged Iranian vegans, peaceable gun owners look for ways to deal with ideological cleansers that don't involve the initation of force.

A Workaround

Women might get raped if they debate men, so this college debate tournament banned men [More]
Tell 'em you identify as a woman and go hang out in their bathroom to prove it. If they object to you leering, tell 'em you're a lesbian or one of the other 31 flavors and accuse them of gender identity discrimination.

What's in a Name?

Black Lives Matter: Cincinnati (BLMC), founded more than three years ago, announced that it will now be called Mass Action for Black Liberation. [More]
MABL is their new black label, eh?

Have I got a jingle for them:

We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident

Of course the left is coming for your guns [More]
Some of us have been saying that for years. It's good that the mask is now off for all to see and can't be put back on.

A Line in the Sand

Trump to send military to Mexican border [More]
Why not? They're protecting everyone else's borders.

If government was doing its job, the militia would have been called up. And before that, Mexico would have been given plenty of reasons, good and bad, to take care of all the problems on its side of the border.

A Good First Step

[T]he Missouri House Rules Committee passed House Bill 1936 which expands the protections of the Second Amendment to locations and areas where you can carry concealed in its state. [More]
Anybody know if this stands a chance?  With Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and Greitens in the State House (no thanks to the 3-D chessmasters at Fairfax), what legitimate reasons could it have to fail?

We're the Only Ones 'Bottoms Up!' Enough

New Jersey cops search man's anus, genitals for weed during traffic stop. See for yourself. [More]
And the cowardly thug rapists cited him for "tailgating"?

Joseph Drew and Andrew Whitmore, eh?  And "progressives" say they're the "Only Ones" who should have guns?

Good luck with the lawsuit-- where will he find a ruling with "functionally identical facts" to overcome "qualified immunity"?

It's enough to make a man want to take the law into his own (gloved) hands.

Dying to Know

Prosecutors said the 52-year-old Hunter was working as a security chief for weapons and drug trafficker Paul Le Roux when he recruited Samia and Stillwell to travel from their homes in Roxboro, North Carolina, to the Philippines for what was called “ninja work.”  [More]
So who's Le Roux's "U.S. senator" grandfather, and what's his stance on victim disarmament"?

So He Wasn't Dangerous After All?

After the three-day delay, the man purchased the gun because Walmart had not heard back from CBI or been told to block the sale. [More]
And that, of course, is what they're priming us for going after. After all that control, we still don't have enough.

I like how "a neighbor's opinion" is enough to spook the herd.

We were living in a condo when we first had elder feral son Uday, and our upstairs neighbor used to stomp on the floor when he cried. If my freedoms had depended on her testimonial, I'd probably still be in solitary.

Agreeing to Disagree

According to the police report, the 29-year-old victim named Maricela said she overheard a conversation between the two female suspects and their male friend. She reported to police that she become involved in their conversation and stated, "I support Donald Trump.” [More]
I'm sorry, but what did she think was going to happen?

Vote GOP -- Squishes You Can Count On, Sort Of...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Tuesday warned that his state could see a wave of Democratic victories in the 2018 midterm elections, and pressed supporters to "counter" the "Far Left." [More]
So stay on the bus that gets us there slower?

The problem is, Scott, we see stuff like this and the implications aren't lost on us:
Two years ago, Walker said that it "makes sense" to grant citizenship to some of the millions of undocumented workers already in the country. By earlier this year, his position had changed, with Walker saying in March: "I don't believe in amnesty" for those in the country illegally. Later that same month, Walker told New Hampshire business leaders at a private dinner that he did, in fact, support providing some illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship, according to those familiar with the discussion. News accounts of the event sparked an outcry from the right, along with immediate denials from his staff.
And then we see stuff like this:
Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican with an A rating from the National Rifle Association for his long history of supporting pro-gun measures, is shifting his approach following the recent mass shooting at a Florida high school and as he seeks re-election in November.
Got anything to kindle fire in bellies, like we saw in 2016, or have establishment Republicans done their best to squelch it? I know "The Swamp" will blame apathy losses as a rejection of "Trumpism," but some see the difference between the man and the platform that elevated him -- and have no use for those who undermine it.

Pull that prag "perfect is the enemy of the good" crap on people who haven't seen it a thousand times and won't be fooled again.  What, that means a Democrat will win and really turn up the heat?  That'll get us to the brink, won't it?

See, some figure, thanks to unprincipled Republiquislings, that they're not going to vote their way out, which makes it really dangerous for all concerned. They figure if push comes to shove, they still have the right to keep and bear arms -- whether it's recognized or not. What oppressors and "compromisers" don't seem to grok is that "tolerating" this right not only protects us, but them as well.

Right now they're only seeing defiance.  Resistance takes on a whole new dimension.

Yesterday's News



About the YouTube shooter...?

Here's the archive of her webpage.  I suggest you get what you want from it before it's forced off.  And you can still find related stuff on Facebook.

Man, she wasn't kidding about being censored. If I had to guess, I'd say videos with titles like "Health Risks of Anal Sex" probably didn't endear her to the censors of San Bruno.

This won't do anything to reverse the company's position on gun-related videos but will probably make the excusion even stronger. I would look for a lot more sensitive leeway for Iranians and vegans, though...

Damn the NRA, right?
