Meanwhile, Over at the Uniparty...

Don’t Republicans control the subcommittee? Why do Democrats have control enough to demand something as egregious as paying for legal aid for a dangerous invasion flooding our country with drugs and gangs? [More]
Didn't we talk about a dog the other day?

'A Classic Russian Influence Operation'


This sure is a lot of effort and noise to say nothing. [More]

And "sources familiar with the situation" is a broad enough cross-section to include  all kinds of political enemies.

In the absence of evidence, innuendo and repetition will do.

An Expensive Lesson

Friend of mine, late for a flight, grabs his pack forgetting his Glock inside, stopped at TSA at San Jose Airport, issued a citation, released and made his flight. The citation is a 3rd degree misd punishable with a $579 fine Not being allowed to plea and pay! County requiring full adjudication, attorneys, thousands in fees and months to resolve (and loss of gun of course) [Via Dave Licht by email]
Now imagine if it weren't a right!

Griddle Me This

Needless to say, little has been made of the argument that none were killed in the Louisiana Waffle House incident because a law-abiding citizen was carrying and using a registered gun. Instead, gun control activists in the media decided to focus on an unarmed man’s heroics – rather than cover a story of how a “good guy with a gun” saved lives – which further strengthens the case for Second Amendment supporters. [More]
Not surprising. It didn't fit the narrative.

That said, what's with "registered gun" in Louisiana?

Well, You Got the 'Simple' Part Right

The idea is simple but powerful: a federally issued license for simple possession of all semi-automatic firearms. [More]
No.

A longer answer is two words and starts with "F."

Your move, gunkapo.

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts?

If Current Laws Had Been Followed, There Would Have Been No Waffle House Shooting [More]
True, but the only law that wouldn't give the shooter a choice to ignore them is this one.

The Case Could Be Made...

No, The NRA Is Not Banning Guns At Its Convention [More]
They kind of are, because they're the ones who set the speakers, and they could have him address the crowd via broadcast. True, it wouldn't be the same, but it's nonetheless a choice.

Plus, what about the "entertainment"?

I know: Secret Service. Texas law.

Captain's Log


A Professional Opinion

In a post to Hotline, the city's public email listserv, Nagle wrote on Friday evening that she "and other council members" are leaning toward an alternative proposal referred to Nagle by Boulder resident John Ramey. He is a former advisor to the Obama administration, according to his LinkedIn profile, and Nagle said he "has past success in figuring out large and tricky governing problems." [More]
Yeah, the guy has experience advising subversives!

We're the Only Ones Incurious Enough

Turn in a gun and have it destroyed, no questions asked, at police event in Hazelwood [More]
Let us destroy the incriminating evidence for you!

When Animals Attack

Police released surveillance showing a violent home invasion in Houston when four masked men stormed into a family's home. The men pistol-whipped a woman who was 4 months pregnant and pointed guns at her children. They stole jewelry and other items. [More]
The "commonsense gun safety law" crowd demands you and yours be just as helpless.

My bet is these women have learned nothing and will emerge from this siding even more strongly with Shannon. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on that.

The Michael Dukes Show Redux



Here's the archive of Friday's broadcast. [Listen]

#MeToo Movement Now Going for Brokaw


We presently have no idea if Brokaw is guilty or innocent of the sexual harassment allegations. If he is, this is yet another in a long line of examples of those who can’t – or more likely won’t – control themselves trying to control everybody else. And if he’s been falsely accused, well, when “progressives” are allowed to lie without being called on it and without personal repercussions, innocent people get hurt. [More]
Where was his adamant concern for "truth" when he was repeating old lies about guns? Or does it only matter when it's his turn in the "progressive" barrel?
