Notes from the Resistance...
“If reports are true that the NRA’s leadership engaged in blatant illegal campaign coordination, this news would not only be an insult to NRA members but a serious threat to the integrity of the presidential election," Peter Ambler, executive director of Giffords said in a statement. [More]If I understand all the convoluted relationships right, it appears Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek will be sharing cells with Wayne and Chris while Gabby and Mark let slip the dogs of war...
Who needs 'em when we have Capitol "Only Ones"?Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and fellow Democrats are looking at repealing a fifty-year-old rule that allows Congresscritters to keep guns in their offices and carry them on the Capitol grounds. [More]
Pro-gun control Dick’s Sporting Goods sales down, will close 35 stores [More]It's not reflected on day-to-day stock trades, but look at the last five years. I'd love to see Stack sued into a barrel.
A criminal complaint says a DEA agent traded inside information for bribes which helped facilitate drug shipments to north Florida and Arkansas. [More]God help me, I'm not automatically discounting crucifixion...
An NYPD cop fired the shots that injured a 12-year-old girl and left a 46-year-old woman in severe condition during a wild shootout in the Bronx ... Neither Gomez nor his partner Brandon Gembecki activated the body cameras they were wearing... [More]Rules Two, Three and Four just aren't as important as Taking Care of Number One.
Rising perceptions of insecurity have been cited as a key factor in the increase in issued licenses. Some have warned that the increase could contribute to situations similar to the US, where gun violence is rampant. [More]That's because "some" are liars who know the problems are not with those "law-abiding" enough to get licensed.
And as we all know, Prohibition didn’t work. [More]I beg to differ.
On their broadcast this afternoon 710 KNUS talk radio personalities Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden accused Bethany Candelaria, a newly-hired Marketing and Communications Professional of making racist, anti-Christian, anti-Trump and other offensive posts on her personal page. A sampling of the posts includes: “I enjoy offending white people. It’s just so easy,” as well as “Go f*ck yourselves, America.” [More]Finally, some refreshing "public servant" honesty!
Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department of the fatal shooting of Richard “Gary” Black. [Watch]So failure to immediately obey screamed commands, which could be attributed to a number of reasons including confusion, shock, hearing impairment, etc., should be enough...?
John Rich Challenges Pro-Gun Control Singers to Debate the Issues [More]The thing is, they've found it doesn't hurt them...
A former Baltimore police officer has admitted to the FBI that he stole money, lied in police reports and improperly used electronic surveillance devices, federal prosecutors in California said — widening the scope of police misconduct unearthed by the Gun Trace Task Force scandal. [More]So why'd he have to resign from ATF...?
America Doesn't Have a Gun Violence Epidemic – Democrat Cities Do [More]So disarming Democrats would only be "commonsense"...?
'We’re going to kill you': Nicaragua's brutal crackdown on press freedom [More]Gosh, it's almost like when Marxists take over, the useful "social justice"idiots that helped them suddenly become useless eaters...
‘Your time is up’ South Africa sets date for white farmer land grabs – March 2019 [More]Nah, just kidding. Surrender and die anyway.
“He alone created the violence, and he alone bears responsibility for his course of action,” Ayub said. “The burden lies solely with him – not those who tried to save lives..." [More]The consistency test here is to ask if the sheriff would take the same position had it been a lawfully armed citizen whose good intentions resulted in tragedy.
The very first one I semi-randomly selected (wanted something recent) was a guy who drove around town and shot out windows randomly — and happened to include a school — with a BB gun. [More]I may have a way to come up with a way to establish an objective definition: Did the armed "school resource officer" retreat and take shelter? If "yes," it qualifies.
Police did not specify what the weapons were, only that they were owned legally and "were voluntarily surrendered to police at the juvenile's residence by his parents," according to the statement. [More]And there was no "or else" attached to their "request"?
"These acts are not taken as jokes, and should never be used in a joking manner." Police said that any such remarks or posts "must be investigated as a threat, until proven otherwise, and those involved will be charged accordingly."The "authorities" being the arbiters of acceptable speech limits and proclaiming citizens are guilty until proven innocent don't exactly ease my concerns about freedom in New Jersey.
Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan [More]Next time he gets himself in a bind -- and he will -- let the Central Americans answer his call for aid.
Nadler: I'm ending investigation into FBI, DOJ when I become chairman [More]It's been a while since we've heard from Gomer...
You can defend yourself, hunker down against the roving bands of marauders, the government goons, the tax collectors and the politically correct, but in order to effect change, to address the crisis of culture and the republic, you have to get out into the street. [More]I've always had concerns with that, foremost that you can't control who shows up to ensure you'll be tarred with their brush, including provocateurs.
Irish lecturer stabbed to death in Paris had 'insulted the Prophet Mohammed', says his Pakistani killer [More]Something must be done. But what?
Paris Is Burning Over Climate Change Taxes -- Is America Next? [More]We know what NIMBYs are. They want something, just not where they have to deal with it. So we shouldn't be surprised that they're also NIMBAs (Not in my bank account) who want something but don't want to have to pay for it.
“Just to make it crystal clear, New York federal prosecutors concluded that the President of the United States committed a felony,” he tweeted. [More]What's clear is this whole effort hasd been to take him out and it looks like they've found a side issue that will work where the central premise failed. If this is what they go after him on, it'll be awful tough to defend him without taking the position that he should be exempt.
Facing a veto threat from Gov. John Kasich, state senators on Thursday backed off a plan to pass a so-called Stand Your Ground gun rights bill and voted 19-10 in favor of a vastly scaled back bill. [More]Can there be a more embarrassingly irritating malady to suffer from?
