Kavanaugh a Mixed Bag on Guns


At least Kavanaugh admits that even though he might personally support some “gun control” goals and laws, “our task is to apply the Constitution and the precedents of the Supreme Court, regardless of whether the result is one we agree with as a matter of first principles or policy.” [More]
Of course he's not perfect. But I'd still look for the Democrats to paint him as a "militia extremist" and do their utmost to destroy him.

We take seriously our responsibility to provide a safe, supportive and nurturing learning environment... [More]
And what better way than by being so mind-blowingly stupid you can't see those who hide their face?

Wait a minute... so a towel on your head really works?

Gosh. And I had such high hopes for some sort of reconciliation...

Project 21

Require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Require proof of identity to cast ballots. Require states to purge election rolls on a regular basis to remove people who are deceased or have moved to other jurisdictions. Require states to purge election rolls of registered voters who have not cast ballots in six years. Prohibit the practice of mailing ballots to those who have not requested them. Prosecute organizations or individuals systematically targeting black communities for voter fraud. [More]
No doubt about it: Russian bots.

Selling Out Her Country

NBC’s Katy Tur Not Sold on ‘Strict Originalist View of Constitution’ Because it’s 2018 [More]
If she and her kind succeed in eviscerating it, I can think of some people who would be happy to sell her -- presuming they could find a buyer.

Going Off Script

"In a trip organized by Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, Green presented Rivlin with a Warriors jersey," Zirin wrote. "It is, frankly, shocking to see Draymond Green smiling and shooting guns in their company."[More]
Doesn't he realize black people are supposed to only express views suitable to their station in life as determined by "progressives"?

What did their ideological forebears used to call that...?

We're the Only Ones Immune Enough

Fliers may have a tough time recovering damages for invasive screenings at U.S. airport security checkpoints, after a federal appeals court on Wednesday said screeners are immune from claims under a federal law governing assaults, false arrests and other abuses. [More]
All your junk are belong to us.

Mad Maxie feels vindicated.

Of Significance

Significantly, the government expressly acknowledges that non-automatic firearms up to .50-caliber – including modern semi-auto sporting rifles such as the popular AR-15 and similar firearms – are not inherently military. [More]
I focused on a different aspect yesterday.

Besides, I thought it had already been long established that we are entitled to "ordinary military equipment."

We're the Only Ones Unauthorized Enough

Cook County judge disciplined after dropping gun in courthouse ... The sheriff's department said Claps has a valid Firearms Owner Identification card and a concealed carry permit, but a spokeswoman said only authorized law enforcement officers are allowed to bring guns into the courthouse. [More]
When super-authorized "Only Ones" drop their guns, their elite training allows them to do it with a lot less bumbling and a lot more flair.

I do wonder if ol' Clapper here has ever sentenced anyone on an "illegal carry" conviction.

Enough Already

He tweeted, in part: "Salesman assured me “These will stop everything but armor piercing bullets.” I’m a f’ng #FireFighter! When is enough, enough? I’ll be donating to @MomsDemand today!" [More]
Great question. The answer, of course, is never. As evidenced by all the deceptive and hackneyed talking points he parrots...

Not to mention a public employee union/Democrat apapratchik, as evidenced by his Twitter feed. Not that the Post-Dispatch was interested in doing anything other than a promo piece...

We're the Only Ones Unheroic Enough

"Law enforcement choked," said Detroit civil rights attorney Solomon Radner, who filed the lawsuit, adding "Cops are heroes, and they’re supposed to be heroes."  [More]
This guy's been watching too much TV. Besides, they have no duty to be.

Which makes those who enforce citizen disarmament villains...

A free press, Opposite Day "progressive"-style...

I'm waiting for the day when Blogger, WordPress, domain registrars and the like are pressured into disallowing ALL "unapproved" content, not just the outliers.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words



Jeff John was my editor for almost 20 years, first at Guns & Ammo, then at Handguns and until recently at GUNS. I encourage you to visit his "Art inArms" website and tour the various galleries. I believe you'll be as impressed by their content as I am.

The historical and contemporary arms presentations evoke sentiments expressed by another longtime friend of mine:
Guns are beautiful. From pinfire pistols to Kentucky rifles, from Samuel Colt’s "equalizer" to the H&K battle rifle, guns are gorgeous physical objects, pleasing to the mind and the senses. To hold a 1911 model .45 in one’s hand is to experience ergonomic delight; to field-strip an FN-FAL is to thrill at the elegance of its engineering and the profound simplicity of its design. From the venerable Browning Hi-Power to the cutting-edge titanium revolvers of this new millennium, from the storied Lee-Enfield to the sexy new Steyr Scout, guns give eloquent testimony to the genius of man.
Compare that to the ugly "artistic treatment" guns receive from those who demonize them and would see all but those in the hands of the enforcers destroyed.

Go to Jeff's site. Appreciate and enjoy. And tell a friend.
