Anniversary

Bitter lessons 25 years after Waco, Texas, siege [More]
James Bovard summarizes them.

Cutting Edge of the Youth Movement

7 Prince George's County elementary students cut wrists at school, officials say [More]
It's always nice finding new leaders for "progressives" to follow.

And the "adult" response is to mandate "a ban on pencil sharpeners at the school"! I love it!

Give those kids the vote!

Questions for Trump Administration’s Bump Stock Prohibitionists Remain Unanswered


Before we allow the government to start apportioning blame, imposing new restrictions, coercing the relinquishment of private property and creating new felony charges with which to ensnare heretofore law-abiding gun owners, don’t we deserve to know the documented scope of the threat so that an appropriate level of response, if any, can be determined? [More]
See the new (and withheld from public distribution) Congressional Research Service report, and exclusively-reported ATF and FBI responses to a Freedom of Information Act request. Then ask yourself why the feds are trying to ram through a power grab while reversing prior legal findings, operating in secrecy, and deliberately withholding information until after the deed is done?

From Each According to His Ability

But the CGCS resolution is not about truth, facts, or logic. [More]
Well, yeah. They're useful idiot Marxists.

Hey, you know what I just realized?  Ol' Karl was a gender microaggressor!

Quick! Tear down all his statues!


Travel Restrictions

“[A] State agency shall not permit a State officer or employee, special State officer or employee, or member of the Legislature to engage in any travel to be paid, in whole or in part, out of State funds, or to be otherwise sponsored by the State, to any state of the United States if that state has not enacted a permit to purchase firearms law. This prohibition shall also apply to any organization that receives aid from the State.” [More]
So the side that's always leveling the accusation are the real xenophobes? Does this mean other states can pass bills prohibiting entry by New Jersey officials?

Sponsors Loretta Weinberg and Linda Greenstein, of course, are two of the same domestic enemies caught on open mike revealing their intention to "confiscate, confiscate, confiscate..."

Dance, Puppets, Dance!

On April 20th, the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, American students will walk out of class and protest. [More]
And who controls the schools?

Treasonous Kochsuckers

Koch network releases ad pushing for bipartisan 'Dreamers' deal [More]
Yet somehow the left always seems to tar "conservatives"  with being pawns of these greedy bastards, proving no amount of controlled opposition compromise selling out will ever be enough for those who demand it all.

That said, in one thing, I'm ready to join 'em.

A Man's Gotta Know His Limitations


While not yet a man, Sorosjugend Gauleiter David Hogg may soon be learning his.  [More]

From the City that Re-elected Marion Barry

Washington, D.C., may allow 16-year-olds to vote for president in the 2020 election [More]
Because #MarxForOurLives !

Fourteen or Fight!

How much worse could it be than the present constituency retarded enough to vote for these domestic enemies?

Crazed Gun-Grabbers

The Independence Institute’s own David Kopel was at that meeting, and joined me yesterday to update us and analyze this latest gun grab craze that’s erupting.  [More]
That would be this gun grab craze...

Most Recent ITAR Rule


This regulatory action will be likely to have international trade and investment effects, or otherwise be of international interest. [More]
You don't say.

I've been interested and trying to understand such effects for years.

And Dig Deep

Please contact the Chair of the Committee, Rep. Marlene Anielski, and ask her to BURY THIS BILL in committe. [More]
Here's something that grinds my gears:
"Click here to find out who your State Representative is."
How can a gun owner not even know? 

Instead of emails, I recommend putting politicians on notice via social media to get the most bang for the buck.  They all have Facebook pages and Twitter feeds where comments and replies are public and your concerns can't just be buried and ignored by staffers running interference.

Not the 'Only Ones'?

A Western Pennsylvania sheriff has issued an order within his department to not conduct county sheriff business with any of the corporations that have decided to cut ties with members of the National Rifle Association. [More]
Hit 'em where it hurts.

Going Out of Business


[More]
Look for future notices from evil black rifle manufacturers if most gun owners don't actually start doing something.

There are still those who don't realize"bump stocks" are just a convenient MacGuffin, oblivious to what the actual threat is.

Have We Reached Critical Mass for Total Idiocracy Yet?

Would America vote for Oprah for president? [More]
Well, she's acceptably "progressive." And when it comes to politics, she seems to be a natural...

You CAN Stop the Signal

Mother of swatting victim berates Wichita City Council. City turns off her mic. [More]
"One of most influential people in legal education" agrees.

[Via bondmen]

Giving Up the Ghost

Democratic state lawmakers have a new target as they aim to tighten New Jersey's already strict firearms laws: "ghost guns." [More]
They don't want you to have the other kind, either...

[Via Roger J]

Judicial Cognitive Dissonance

In an earlier case, the Massachusetts high court concluded that stun guns just aren't "arms" for Second Amendment purposes, because ...  they aren't usable in the military." [More]
Compare to:
“The AR-15 and its analogs, along with large capacity magazines, are simply not weapons within the original meaning of the individual constitutional rights to ‘bear arms.”
Norman processes the disconnect:

NJ Sheriff and Former Chief Show Contempt for Oaths with 2nd Amendment Infringements



“Those weapons are designed to take out mass amounts of people, for the military to use, for the police to use, should they have to…” [More]
Note he doesn’t define when his sworn duties will require him to issue the orders to “take out mass amounts of people.”

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery...


...preventing someone from publicly expressing opinions is free speech... [More]

That's the opinion of "one of most influential people in legal education," meaning she gets to help shape the "legal" thought of tomorrow's lawyers and judges.

I note a telling sign from the "protest."

Got that, knuckle-dragging, tiny-dicked ammosexual racists?
