Finnish on a High Note
The new Finnish proposal for the national implementation of Firearms Directive was published a while ago and the 200 page proposal included changes to multiple laws including firearms law and law regarding voluntary national defense. [More]I haven't read it but I did try to run the URL through Google Translate. It looks like a start but it's a far cry from complete. I won't have time to do more and besides, that's on them.
If anyone has a useable url, please share in "Comments."

Anybody Else Getting a 'Fox and the Grapes' Vibe?
Andy Lassner, the executive producer of Ellen Degeneres’ talk show, attacked First Lady Melania Trump on Monday, saying he is “more afraid” of “another Melania” entering the United States than foreign nationals with a 7,000-strong migrant caravan headed to the U.S.-Mexico border. [More]Extend that to anyone with "flyover" values as well. He'd rather have a replacement culture than the one that has created enough excess wealth to reward him beyond any semblance of rationality.
Come to think of it, if we're talking Ellen viewers, so would I.

The Next Best Thing to Being There
I was unaware of this and must find time to watch it.
I wish I'd met the man in person because he was most kind to me when I asked for his help.

Bangladesh has one of the largest populations of Muslims in the world ... The country is “increasingly the site of Islamist violence... [More]Who wouldn't want that here?
I've also been sent Part 1, 2, 3 and 4 on riot control, but I fear things could get a lot more serious than that.

A Broader Campaign
Volsky said this is the beginning of a broader campaign to ultimately get guns out of polling places. [More]I wonder if this will inspire any SWATting.
And that's not where the broader campaign ultimately wants to get them out of.
The People's Choice
Well, there's the evil "party of the rich" Republican and the "man of the people" Democrat.
Good thing this isn't about money! Or about whose money.

A Role Model
A Woodrow Wilson High School student who was known for being a role model and was honored by his school and the city was killed while playing a game of Russian roulette, one of the men charged in connection with his death told authorities. [More]"Was killed"?
Thank goodness for New jersey "gun control laws."
He's been added to the "Gun Violence Archive" and "Gun Memorial," which brings us a "news" source informing us "a gun takes the life." They also have a form where visitors can add to his profile, but I thought better of entering "Stupid" under "Nickname."
You know, if they disarmed you and me this never would have happened.

Squeeze Play
"Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States," Trump tweeted. [More]Unwilling is more like it. For myriad reasons, including orders from corrupt government officials in thrall to cartel interests.
After a meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland in Ottawa on Monday, [Mexico's incoming foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard] added that his administration would offer more work visas for Central Americans. "We are going to invest in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador," he said.We are beseiged by enemies without and within. It is in the interests of both "neighbors," the Democrats, the rope-selling "capitalists" and the GOP swampers to create a situation where the Trump administration is seen as impotent and brutal. If he blinks and backs down, he's through, as is any notion of future border integrity.
And isn't it just the most coincidental alignment of circumstances to see that base-disheartening potentiality happening right before the midterms? Talk about collusion with foreign interests to influence U.S. elections.
The Opposite Day "progressive" paradox is, if armed Americans intent on defending their country formed a "caravan" several thousand strong to intercept and repel the invaders, who do you think the Democrats would demand government turn its guns on?
