Best of Show

Best Survival Guns for Preppers: Handguns, Shotguns and Rifles [More]
I have a feeling that the places where they'll be needed most are the places where it'll be too late to get one.

A Knife at the Gunfight

Doug Ritter's Knife Rights say the Second Amendment applies to knives as well as guns [More]
It applies to the right of the people to keep and bear ARMS.

Anyone who would infringe on that is an enemy of freedom.

A Negative Personality

Taking the negative will be Paul Helmke, former president and CEO of the Brady Center/Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. [More]
He's the right guy for it.

About that 'Single Issue'

Malkin: Border security ‘is not just a single issue,’ it affects ‘every issue’ [More]
Yep.

Not that Fairfax will admit it.

A Run for the Money

The NRA Says It’s in Deep Financial Trouble, May Be ‘Unable to Exist’ [More]
Does this mean my Wine Club shipments could be affected? That said, I won't be surprised to find the tale of woe overstated for effect -- by both sides.

Still, assuming there are serious continued cash flow concerns, here are a few suggestions: Get back to core Bylaws Purposes and Objectives, stop with the phony grades, recognize the main threat, stop promoting citizen disarmament and you may win some of the disaffected back -- if you can convince them you're sincere.

In any case, I'm sure Wayne and Chris have a luxury lifeboat ready to launch if they drive the ship up on the rocks.

Not that Rolling Stone has room to talk.

Animaladjusted

Popular pig roast canceled amid complaints about cooking a pig [More]
Would they rather it be eaten raw?

And nobody thought to tell the protestors to go sit on a spit and rotate over coals?

I undertand the desire to avoid trouble, but when you start letting anti-humans dictate what you are allowed to eat (and allowed to say and allowed to own), you are ceding to them the title of "Master," or perhaps more appropriately, "Napoleon."

Underdeveloped Nation

"It's really unfortunate," said Sgt. Jake Becchina of KCPD. "We want people to end conflicts peacefully and not use guns or other violence. They need to use words. That's what we want." [More]
Isn't that what you say to pre-schoolers?

Here's the problem.

Not that anyone seems interested in a more protective response. Especially when we can just scream about the NRA having blood on its hands.

Flight of Fantasy

Suspect thought flying would be easy...Zemarcuis Devon Scott, 18, allegedly told Texarkana, Ark., police that he didn't believe there was much more to the task than pushing buttons and pulling levers... [More]
Not having a clue, yet having an opinion of certitude strong enough to demand lives be put at risk...

Who does that remind me of...?

This Could Be the Start of Something Big

Portland fears planned rightwing rally could be 'another Charlottesville' [More]
It could be a lot worse than that and not limited to the weekend or to Portland.

Sing it, Steverino!

We're the Only Ones Dogged Enough

... K-9 police officer dead ... [More]
So when they kill our dogs, do they call them "K-9 citizens"?

Nous sommes les Seuls Connectés Assez

They also revealed that while working at the presidential palace, Benalla received a permit for a Glock pistol on his fourth try. The permit was approved after a new request, on new grounds, was transmitted to police by Macron's office director, Patrick Strzoda. [More]
It's good to be the king!

Oh, pissboy...

We're the Only Ones Respected Enough

But even someone like a woman named Tammy in Belton, who expressed deep support for police and wants peace officers to be respected, had to wonder over her stop a few years back while delivering her son to elementary school. She didn’t want to use her last name because she still lives in Belton and was worried about retribution from police. [More]
So if they know who she is they're going to come after her? 

Isn't that  a form of terrorism?

And she deeply supports that?

Isn't that a form of Stockholm Syndrome?

Inigo thinks there's a difference between fear and respect.

I'll bet Tammy in Belton believes in "commonsense gun safety laws."

Ignorance is Strength

Religion prof argues that Christians should support abortion [More]
Well He did say something about "Suffer little children," right?

In other Opposite Day "progressive" developments, the ACLU says gun owners should support "gun control."

An Unremarkable Development

Feinstein’s office would not comment on the story ... The FBI declined to comment on the story. [More]
Yeah, it's not like it's any of the American people's business, despite DiFi's longstanding clo$e relation$hip with the Chicom$.

And can you imagine what Mueller would do if he had the level of foreign influence evidence on Trump that has long been known about and deliberately ignored for Clinton?

Opposition to 3D Guns Shows the Agenda is Knowledge Control


This has nothing to do with “commonsense gun safety” and everything to do with control. It’s not just guns those who would rule all would restrict; it’s the very idea of guns. [More]
They demand to be the "Only Ones," and not just with guns. What the would-be Philosopher Kings are really saying is “We don’t trust you with knowledge. Best leave that to us."

Or else.

A Significant but Nonetheless Small Step

Man Suspected of Murdering Brian Terry Extradited From Mexico to U.S. [More]
Meanwhile, the ones who made it all possible continue to have reason to be confident of their own untouchability.

They Blow Up So Fast These Days


Enabling mothers -- is there anything we can't learn from them? [More]
