Obey Existing Intolerable Acts

Unfortunately, while the law may eventually be found unjust and overturned, today it is the law. Second Amendment Organization is a staunch advocate of Gun Rights, but those rights are defined by our laws. [More]
It depends upon what the meaning of the word "staunch" is?

Figures, though.

It really does.

Here's one "organization" I can scratch off my "support" list.

Conditional Approval


I agree.

As long as there are no strings attached.

Money Talks, Bulls**t Walks

The Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine critical of Trump, to shutter after 23 years [More]
So midterm "Republican" losses weren't a rejection of the agenda that got the president elected?

Yeah, keep betraying the base and playing into Democrat hands, "moderates."

Why, does he want it back?

Church Killer would have been a Threat Even if Air Force had Reported Him


While some are learning details of what a violent misfit the killer was from the IG report, there’s really not much new in it, at least for AmmoLand readers. Regulars will recall an exclusive from last May featuring the transcript of Kelley’s court-martial obtained after first filing a Freedom of Information Act request with the Air Force, and then filing a lawsuit to get them to comply. You’ll find many of the details contained in this new report were made public over half-a-year ago. [More]
Who thinks submitting required reports would have defused this ticking time bomb?

We're the Only Ones Safening Enough

“The seizure of two assault rifles, a tactical shotgun and 10 handguns, along with over 110,000 decks of heroin and more than 1,000 grams of cocaine, means that our streets are safer as a result of these arrests,” Ambrose said. [More]
How much safer, Director Ambrose?

Safe enough for you and your department to walk down without guns, like you demand and enforce against those not part of your elite club?

We're the Only Ones Undutiful Enough

Peterson attorney Michael Piper said he understands that people might be offended or outraged at his client’s defense, but he argued that as a matter of law, the deputy had no duty to confront the shooter. Peterson did not attend the hearing. [More]
The judge is just making a political statement. Peterson will win.

We're the Only Ones Broad-Minded Enough


So much for superior professional and personal judgment.

Who better to demand broader citizen disarmament edicts?

However, some students say that the purpose of the room is lost by making the space open to all students. [More]
Hey, you don't want to let "those people" use it...

So when will they put up signs designating "safe" water coolers and restrooms?

A Method to Their Madness

Isn't this the same party that ridicules the idea of an armed citizenry being necessary to the security of a free State...?

Looks Like They Included Themselves Right Out

BOY SCOUTS ON VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY ... As the organization has made decisions deemed to be more inclusive, such as allowing openly gay scouts in 2013 and scoutmasters in 2015 as well as the 2018 decision to allow girls, membership has continued to decline sharply... [More]
I'd also look to declining birthrates among their traditional demographic and the irrelevance of their traditions to the fast-breeding replacement population. And doesn't that have further-reaching implications...?

One Man's 'Freedom Fighter'...

While Patreon has been hyper-vigilant in their banning of right-wing creators for wrongthink — they are ignoring far-left extremists who are openly using the service to fund and promote the formation of “guerrilla cells” to carry out politically motivated “attacks.” [More]
The San Francisco One Percenters probably think the tumbrils won't eventually come for them.

The Art of Lying

It’s alarming how frequently Watts manipulates data to craft a narrative that America is held hostage to a violent gun culture, and how often she and her organization regurgitate the usual debunked Democrat Media Industrial Complex myths, lies, half-truths, and conspiracy theories. [More]
That's because she's a professional wormtongue.

Curious: She hasn't tried to spin her way out of this.

That's probably because no one else is challenging her on it.

A Public Service Announcement for Baltimore Gangbangers


If you get arrested with a firearm on Dec. 17, 19 or 21, just tell them you were bringing it to the "buyback," they didn't tell you how to transport it, you don't know how to safely see if it's unloaded. and they promised no questions asked. [More]

Beating a Dead Magic Pony


Is there anyone more provincial and insulated than Peggy Noonan? [More]

She really can't conceive that it was support for issues, not Beatlemania over the man, that resulted in Trump winning. 

What does she think the results would have been if he'd run on his past and his personality instead of on his platform pledges?

Ghosts of Pauline Kael...

One Side of the Story

Nearly 40,000 people in the United States died by guns last year, marking the highest number of gun deaths in decades, according to a new analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's WONDER database. [More]
And what about the number of defensive gun uses?  Not even a nod that they exist?

Why?

This is CNN

A photo showing Gen. Scott Miller holding a fully loaded assault rifle in Ghazni, Afghanistan, is grabbing headlines. [More]
Why?

And why isn't it a "patrol rifle"?

He Says That Like It's a Good Thing

They could give Trump the $5 billion he is asking for to begin construction of the wall, in exchange for a path to citizenship for the nearly 2 million "dreamers" -- illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children through no fault of their own...Then, when Democrats take the majority next year, they could offer him the remaining $15 billion to $20 billion he needs to finish the wall, in exchange for legal status for the other 11 million people here in the country illegally. The wall could buy legal status for every illegal immigrant living in the shadows -- a longtime Democratic priority. *
And why do you think that is a Democrat priority, Marc Thiessen?

Come Now, and Let Us Reason Together

Such reasoning is beyond stupid. [More]
That's because reason has nothing to do with it.

Of parallel interest should be the calculations behind the reasoning that welcomes foreign ingrates and subversives.

Not as extreme as her taking measures to undermine the one thing the Founders deemed "necessary to the security..."
