We're the Only Ones Permitted Enough

Former NYPD Sgt. David Villanueva, a longtime supervisor in the department’s License Division, testified Tuesday that he accepted greenbacks and goodies from Former Assistant Brooklyn District Attorney John Chambers and other gun expediters, to speed up the permitting process. Villanueva — who in February 2017 pleaded guilty to accepting illicit gifts — took the stand against Chambers in Manhattan Federal Court, where the self-described “top firearms licensing attorney in New York” is now on trial facing bribery charges.

Or as I recall from the old NatLamp "Radio Dinner" album:

"So take a tip from a cop who does."

So one of these corrupt bastards would have arrested you for having a gun and the other would have prosecuted you?

I swear, sometimes I think the Romans were on to something with public crucifixion for certain crimes.

The Elephants' Graveyard

GOP House members lack insulation: They will crawl out from the smoking rubble of a 40- to 50-seat pounding to find they have lost their majority. [More]

If they do, they'll have only their fecklessness to blame.

Assuming this guy's crystal ball works better than most, I wonder how many who lose will  be those who stood by the stated principles that put Trump in power, as opposed to those who mouthed platitudes while selling out the core.

And I gotta admit, his assessment of the man rings true with me.

Firearms News 2A Roundup

WarOnGuns regulars know about my growing list of columns there. Here are some recent RKBA articles by other contributors I want to call to your attention:

• Maybe Trump’s View of the Second Amendment Isn’t What Gun Owners Thought It Was...
• A Treatise on School Shootings and the Second Amendment
• Recent Wave of State-Level Gun-Control Schemes – Was This a Punt From The White House or a Strategic Move? Part 1 and Part 2
• Firearms News Editor Proclaims “Don’t Let’em Take Your Gun” as the official song of Firearms News Magazine!
• The False-flag Drive Toward Registration, Confiscation: What the heck is President Trump up to?

Yeah, that's a lot of reading and you'ver got plenty of other places to go. Why not bookmark this post so you can look these over as time frees up? And as always, it's not like the DSM is interested in promoting any of this -- so if you get value from these, sharing links is essential to help spread the word.

Capture the Flag and Send a Message to Your Representative

This is a project I did several years ago that I’ve written about a few times over the years–I resurrect it from time to time because I believe it makes a good statement of defiance, plus most of you have probably never seen it. [More]

One good way to celebrate Patriots' Day is to put gun-grabbers on the spot to promote your message of defiance.

Things Must Be Pretty Bad if This is 'Better'

The Deschutes County sheriff would decide whether any local, state or federal gun law is unconstitutional under the measure’s broader interpretations of those rights. And if the sheriff thinks a law is unconstitutional, the measure would forbid the county from enforcing it. Individual violations could result in a fine of up to $2,000. [More]

Do you really want to give that kind of power to one man?

How Much More Proof Do You Need?

The local CA26 representative does not need to worry about the gun owners in her district because she is insulated by having a large population of illegals who vote to preserve their state and local benefits and to avoid deportation. [More]

Absolutely and without a doubt.

Now name ONE state "gun rights" group that has made illegal immigration and "pathway to citizenship" amnesty a fundamental part of their messaging and political grading, as opposed to ignoring it or dismissing it with the fraudulent "single issue" excuse.

Ditto and especially for NRA, which sets the tone for the others.

For that matter, where the hell are most "gun bloggers"?

Why would anyone send money to a group that denies this, thereby abetting the ongoing political and "legal" subversion and ultimate destruction of the recognized right?

Any of you Grover-supporting prags ready to step up to the plate -- and stay on point?

The lack of leadership on this from the professional "gun lobby" is either madness or calculated.

The Party of the People

Supporters of Boulder's proposed ban on assault weapons, bump stocks and high-capacity magazines are imploring the City Council not to put the proposal to a public vote in November, and rather to pass the ban at the council level as soon as possible. [More]

For the Children

Three gun-rights organizations filed suit against the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services over its requirement that bans home day-care operators from keeping guns in their home. [More]

The "rationale" behind such an edict would need to be applied to all homes with children in order to be "logically" consistent -- which, of course, will be an incremental goal when the time is right.

Once you cross a property line, everything changes. If having guns cannot be permitted there, it cannot be permitted anywhere. That's the "thought" behind "gun-free zones."

There's no excuse for that!

And I just thought of something: If there really is NO excuse, if there's NEVER a reason, and if anyone who does will be caught and feel the full force of the law, is he prepared to take religion-commanded kirpans from and punish London's "large Sikh population"?

And that calls to mind our own "knife control" laws, and the attendant religious preference discrimination against the rest of us in spite of a crystal clear "make no law respecting an establishment of religion" commandment to government" proscription.

It figures the snarky hive insects at Slate are all for taking knives away from subjects, too.

A Natural Constituency

Appealing to his left flank, Gov. Cuomo announced Wednesday that he’s signed an executive order to give convicted felons on parole the right to vote. [More]

From the party of criminals, who understandably want you disarmed...

No, of course he hasn't also restored "gun rights. His legion of restored Democrats knows how to get 'em when they want 'em, and when they do, it feeds the exploitable demand for more citizen disarmament.

When parasites outnumber the productive, they can "vote" the latter to be their slaves.

As a corollary to "the law": Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted with a vote.

Attacking Their Own

Like a scene from “Tom and Jerry,” workers fruitlessly tried to stomp on the agile rodent when it scurried from a hole in which dry ice had been dropped in an effort to control the furry pests. One worker even swung a shovel at the plucky rat in a comical whack-a-mole routine. [More]

What Does it Say about Gun Owner Commitment...

...when, based on results, a guy in Ohio cares more about gun legislation in Connecticut than 99% of those affected? [More]

Out of all those gun owners, 8 retweets and 11 likes? 13 shares?

Yes, I understand the old paradigm doesn't impress a politically secure majority, i.e., the conquerors. But I'd bet money that's not why most do nothing.

Molon Labe!

The $64,000 Question

Why are State Attorneys General putting up with school walkouts to promote gun control when the walkouts violate state laws against disrupting public schools? [More]

Because the Democrats want it to happen and the Republicans are gutless and focused on politics and optics, and scared scheisseless of provoking a defiant reaction that would require no-nonsense enforcement which would let them be painted as fascists, or else make them look like impotent weaklings...?

Because if it's not that, I'm with Yul.
