Bump Stock Ban Signed by Acting AG to Prompt Legal Challenges
Ironically, if the challenge from these anti-gun senators is upheld, it could conceivably invalidate everything Whitaker signs, including the “bump stock ban.” [More]Anyone who thinks this is “just about bump stocks” is missing the point.
We're the Only Ones a Driving Force Enough
"Oh, I told them," he said, "... don't pass, you know, anything related to guns. I asked them to repeal guns in cars." [More]You know, the "legal" ones, because the "illegal"ones are already prohibited.
Besides, we all know police are the "Only Ones" who can be trusted with guns in cars in Memphis.
Their elected communist "leaders" said it, I believe it,that settles it.

Thanks for the Tip
Mr. Buchanan: We Are Not a Democracy—And the World Needs to Learn From Us [More]I don't think Buchanan is confused -- his column is critical of the results of democracy and does give a nod to "Republic." I think his critic is taking this out of context of the whole body of Pat's work and missing those nuances.
Does Buchanan really have to include a caveat every time he uses the word for those who evidently haven't been following along?
And why does this come to mind?

Call of Duty
Police, schools had no duty to protect Parkland school shooting victims, judge rules [More]Gee, really?
Time to stir the useful idiots up for more self and student protection prohibtions.

School of Hard Knocks
From rapes to arsons to guns, Florida’s school districts are hiding countless crimes that take place on campus, defying state laws and leaving parents with the false impression that children are safer than they are. [More]Yeah, we saw.
It's just a matter of prioritie$.
Who "want[s] to scare away students as funding is based on enrollment "?
Especially when you can just scapegoat gun owners to facilitate the disarmament goal?

A Pretty Inflated Opinion of Herself
Schumer gushed, “Oh, I love my body. I love my breasts. I love my arse. I love my vagina. I love my legs. I love my arms. I love my ears. I love my toes. And they all move and are healthy, [so] I’m grateful.”[More]Why do I feel a sudden impulse to check my tire pressure...?

Dealing with Effects
Lesson 1: A failure to recognize past failures dictates calls for more restrictive legislation...Lesson 2: Politicians prefer grand gestures over measured policies...Lesson 3: Long term and secondary consequences are rarely considered. [More]All true, but there's a more fundamental and evil dynamic that's left unaddressed.

The Law is What We Say It is
... Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto held a press conference to propose a trio of anti-gun city ordinances that, if enacted, would constitute a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state firearms preemption law and Pennsylvania Supreme Court precedent. [More]There will be no justice until those violating the law are arrested, prosecuted and punished.
Do such teeth for personal accountability exist, and if not, why not?
Sorry -- I just caught myself buying into the "There's no such thing as a stupid question" lie...

The Company He Keeps
Meanwhile, in his professional capacity as Alcoff, he’s been quoted in press releases from Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and appeared at an event with Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in March and has been pictured alongside Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters. [More]There's overt and there's covert.

We're the Only Ones Assimilated Enough
The legislation would force any city with a population of 5,000 or less with an area of less than two square miles to disband their police department and contract for law enforcement services with either the county police department or a larger neighboring city. [More]We are the Borg...
Besides, local accountability is overrated, at least if the great object is total, global control.

Backdraft
Fire marshal files court papers alleging FDNY cover-up in death of firefighter in Harlem during filming of Edward Norton movie - “There is no doubt in the professional opinion of (Specht) that Edward Norton’s movie production company was the precipitating cause of the fire that caused the death of Firefighter Davidson,” the notice of claim says. [More]Hey, "carbon footprints" don't apply to Big Club members.

The Art of the Deal
It was unclear if Mexico would give anything in return. [More]To be fair, they've already sent us their homeless and tempest-tossed...
Rendering Unto Caesar
Bear has some suggestions for sending more than demanded and then some. [More]
If I had a "bump stock" (say, something I had no use for until being told I couldn't have one and got just to establish standing -- and that's a big "if"), my inclination along with filing a lawsuit would be to follow the #IWillNotComply paradigm.
If I were inclined to surrender my property, I might be inclined to turn it over to another government agency first, my local federal collection center, addressed to ATF (c/o 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?) and marked "POSTAGE DUE -- CONTAINS BUMP STOCK" and let them deal with the additional uncompensated expense:
Maybe I'd even do it wearing a large hat and sunglasses, or a disguise, just in case that's frowned upon through regulations.
Then again, I like my first inclination better. If I had a bump stock...
