In the mean time, with the refusal to allow either open or concealed carry, Hawaii remains essentially a “gun-free zone” once citizens leave their homes. [More]Welcome to life in the Igeocracy.

Hawaii Confirms Martin Luther King’s Judgment on ‘A Right Delayed’
Worth a Thousand Words
Catherine Koebel stood in front of the Defense League tent with an oversized photo of a child with a gunshot wound to the head. [More]She doesn't argue for "common sense gun safety laws." She want to see the government take them and melt them.
This Vogue puff piece says:
"My husband, an emergency-medicine physician [had] seen what men with guns could do."Did he surreptitiously take the picture? Did he get it from a colleague who took it? Did the parents consent? Were any medical ethics violated or hopital patient privacy protocols breached? Was it from a crime scene, and if so, is its dissemination beyond investigators and courts authorized?
Was it legal?
Lest someone counter with a pro-life protestor photo equivalency rebuttal, they'll be arguing they consider a fetus the body of a once-living human child. And yeah, protocols for dignity and basic decency are appropriate.
If she's going to publicly use it to advance her agenda, the public has a right to know: From whom did she get that photo and who is it of?
Be a shame if someone reported her for graphic violence policy violations to the various social media platforms this video appears on...
Nothing Less Than Total Control
“Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.” [More]There are literally those who believe you don't have the judgment to be trusted with straws. We call them totalitarians.
Their supporters are called useful idiots, and that there are enough of them to elect such tyrants to power proves their point: Common sense is just not common.

Define 'Lawful.' Define 'Crime.'
Unlawful gun owners commit 80 percent of gun crimes [More]Gomer?
I'll bet if you drilled down further and checked out of the "lawful" ones that do, most of their "crimes" would be more along the lines of infractions/violations.
I missed this when it came out two years back. Here's why.

Is a Puzzlement
Bob Dole puzzles Kansas conservatives prior to primary [More]Why would anyone be puzzled?
Even Yul can't answer that one.

Top Bottom 10 Redux
TOP 10 BLACK RACISTS [More]A more "exclusive" version of what we covered yesterday...
Hey, I know one of those guys. He sure is set in his own ways.
Talk about all the obnoxious example one needs to see why that "national conversation" (that is, being lectured and insulted by fools) they're always demanding is a complete waste of time.

And There was War in Heaven
Hardline U.S. 'gundamentalists' pressure NRA from within [More]Cutesy terms are dismissive, and triviliazing the seriousness and extent of deterrent commitment will result in serious overreach and catastrophe by those too oblivious to know who it is they're backing into a corner.
Me, I'm still waiting for one of these "hardliners" to strap 'em on and take the challenge.

Nothing is Impossible
Is It *Really* Impossible To Get A Gun License in NYC? (Part X — Federal Lawsuit Filed) [More]No, not at all.

Where Credit is Due
They sure make it sound like a lot more than is due though. [More]
Guess they gotta justify the costs and keep that "public/private partnership" economic fascism going.
Any numbers on how much LEO agencies have spent on ShotSpotter and how many cases owe their resolution entirely to responders being led to a perp in action?
Hey, they're "doing something." And lazy "journalists" get something to file without having to do much more than reword the talking points.
A question for the breathless reporterette on the video: We're calling them "high-capacity firearms" now?

The Definition of Insanity
“If we knew what to do today or this week (to reduce the gun violence), we would have been doing it last week or yesterday,” James said. “How do you control indiscriminate acts of violence in places where you don’t know they’re going to happen?” [More]Not so Sly, eh? You admit you don't know what the hell you're doing but you're still bent on abridging the rights of the people who aren't causing the problems?
What is it they say about doing something that doesn't work over and over again?
Oh, and point of order -- based on results, some of us do know what to do.

The Big Red Schoolhouse
The impetus for the shift towards an increasingly liberal platform appears to be related to the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Janus vs. AFSCME. In what was ultimately a win for the First Amendment, the court decided that public employees cannot be required by states to pay “agency fees” to unions. Prior to the ruling, public employees not belonging to unions could still be forced to pay for union services in 22 states. [More]Once the "fundamental transformation" is complete, that'll change.
And boy, will those apostates pay.

White Rose Killer
Mandatory identity verification... [More]If you're not doing anything deemed disloyal you'll have nothing to worry about.
I say "deemed" because positions "change."
