It’s not the first time we’ve seen gun-grabbers create what became known as “Astroturf” gun groups. We’ve seen them come and go over the years, and they all share two things in common: Outside special interest funding and a lack of any appreciable grassroots support. [More]Looks like AHSA 2.0 is being released.
"It's in your nature."Looking around I find corroboration at Reddit and other forums like The Firing Line and Sig Talk, so it looks like this is old news to those of you who frequent the big box stores and the message boards, which leaves me out.
An FBI official told BuzzFeed News they received multiple reports about the post, but the attack happened before they were able to confirm the poster's identity and do something about it. [More]Policy doesn't require immediately notifying local law enforcement in the interim with a conditional alert just in case?
Feds investigating alleged armed disruption attempt at U.S.-Mexico border in December: Report [More]Sounds like a lot of smoke but no fire. Truth be known, armed invaders at the border would be a gift. Somebody had to know that.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says it will pull back all staff responding to calls for services within the City of Portland, citing “unnecessary personal and professional risk”. [More]So being a Bloomberg town hasn't helped?
A former federal contractor pleaded guilty on Wednesday to stealing firearms, ammunition and firearm parts from a U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives facility where he was a security guard. [More]With rigorous procedures like this in place, who can say with a straight face that gun confiscation to keep them out of the wrong hands won't work?
Anthony Colandro Elected NRA 76th Director [More]I'd say a follow-up in a few months will be in order.
Pope sends aid to migrants stranded at the US border [More]Add a "pathway to citizenship" and this "Catholic leader" ought to get a lifetime achievement award for solidifying Democrat rule, meaning full speed ahead on abortions.
Donald Trump has been branded a “threat to our world order” and unworthy of a state visit, after he moved to pull the United States from the international Arms Trade Treaty. [More]To paraphrase Rhett Butler, it deserves to be threatened, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Kamala Harris owns a handgun. That's disqualifying for a 2020 Democrat in my book. [More]Mine too, but not for the same reasons.
First Conviction Prosecuted Under SAFE Act Overturned by NYS Supreme Court [More]I wouldn't be claiming any great 2A victories just yet. The way I read this, it wasn't the state's usurped "authority" that was overruled, it was the way that bitch-slapping punk Schneiderman got the indictment.

An armed off-duty Border Patrol agent who was inside the synagogue returned fire at the shooter, who then retreated in a vehicle before calling 911 and surrendering to police without incident, according to police.I wonder what those who laugh at the "good guy with a gun" meme would have been able to do.

The shooting occurred during a cookout on the same block as Perkins Square Baptist Church [More]Disregard that this was SOP for Baltimore. Gotta build up those category stats the way they do with "school shootings."
Right-wing parties are using the issue of immigration to mobilize voters ahead of the next month’s EU election, the European socialists complain. “Political predators preying on migration crisis,” the socialist candidate for the EU’s top job, Frans Timmermans, told French TV network EuroNews. [More]The commies really do have Orwell mastered.
Witnesses said at least six men armed with guns and knives boarded the rig at 9:30pm and proceeded directly to the third floor to wake up the crew. After locking up workers in the cafeteria, the thieves wandered freely, looting equipment, materials, money and anything of value they could carry. [More]I don't understand. How'd they get guns in Mexico?
Those calling for such a return want NRA out of politics and focused on being Fudds. They really just want to be able to pass disarmament edicts, elect gun-grabbing politicians and appoint anti-gun judges without any significant organized opposition. Curiously, although unintended by those offering such “advice,” returning to its roots is exactly what is needed. [More]The real roots involved training American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”
Option 1. A majority of the Board circles the wagons in defense of Wayne LaPierre and his pals and tries to weather the storm. (They’ll fail, and the whole ship will sink.)
or
Option 2. A majority of the Board fires LaPierre and other executives (or accepts their resignations) and nullifies their contracts, suspends all vendor contracts pending thorough review and renegotiation, and purges culpable members of their own body – demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding NRA assets on behalf of the membership. (Plugging the holes and possibly saving the ship.) [More]While my vote would be for #2, my money would be on #1.
NRA’s Wayne LaPierre Says He Is Being Extorted, Pressured to Resign - Group’s longtime leader says Oliver North, president of the NRA, wants him outNorth is a creature of Ack-Mac, so I'm not looking at this as a development where the prime concern is serving the right to keep and bear arms.
Taking the stage later Saturday, LaPierre got two standing ovations from the crowd of more than 1,000 NRA members...I just hope Patrick didn't hurt his hands.
“You know what? I didn’t even know what a bump stock was,” said Patrick Callahan, 61, from Wyoming. “I have no problem with a bump stock being banned, to be honest with you. I think there’s always balances.” [More]Even most NRA members think it's about bump stocks and remain oblivious to the greater danger.
The original mission was to train warriors to effectively shoot in a war. [More]Yes. Exactly. Perfect rebuttal.
If the catastrophic fire at Notre-Dame de Paris was a simple accident, why has the French government forbidden state-employed architects to give any further interviews about the fire? [More]Next, you're gonna be telling me we haven't been told everything about Las Vegas.

Oyer referenced President Donald Trump multiple times, comparing her client's racial slurs and targeting of Democrats and the media to similar views that the President has taken ... "Donald Trump uses similar epithets in his everyday language and tweets," Oyer said. [More]And by default, if you agree with the agenda he campaigned on, she's talking about you.

Bishop argued to the parole board that his client was a "model inmate" and posed no threat to anyone in the community. [More]Yeah, all the time he was under 24/7 custodial care he didn't shoot anybody.
Reed, who lost a nephew to city gun violence, said it's time to try something new and that this is a program proven to work. [More]Information on who the nephew was and what he was doing does not seem readily available in the reports I've seen that repeat this claim.

Mueller report contains claim Russia taped Bill Clinton having phone sex with Monica Lewinsky [More]Whoever has that tape could make a fortune if they set up a site where they charged people to hear it. I'd want to play it fast so it sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks. And post it to Hillary's Twitter feed.
A Massachusetts District Court Judge and Trial Court Officer were indicted today in federal court in Boston on obstruction of justice charges for preventing an ICE Officer from taking custody of an alien defendant. [More]Democrats, naturally. Throw the book at them. Put them in prison.
Trinity College professor tweets ‘whiteness is terrorism,’ refers to Barack and Michelle Obama as ‘white kneegrows’ [More]And:
At the time, Berger-Sweeney said she supported Williams’ right to express his views, but found his words personally offensive.Everyone who thinks she'd take that official position had a white professor made comparable comments raise your hand.

NRA insiders and longtime observers describe an organization at war with itself over a central question: Has it strayed too far from its original mission of gun safety and outdoor shooting sports and become too political?

Investigators searched Baltimore City Hall and Mayor Catherine E. Pugh’s homes among other sites Thursday, a highly-visible indication of a federal criminal case over lucrative children’s book deals she cut with businesses connected to the government she has run since 2016. [More]Baltimore? Doesn't that make her a Bloomberg mayor?
Curiously, Nadler, fellow Democrats and most of the DSM contained their outrage and instead provided cover for the Obama administration’s obstruction of justice in the Operation Fast and Furious investigations conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. [More]If Trump does it, heads must roll! But using executive privilege to cover their own real crimes is just fine and only a conspiracy theorist would object.
H712 would allow police to destroy confiscated or surrendered firearms [More]Destruction for its own sake...
A woman “claiming to be the Messiah” who threatened to blow up a California church on Easter Sunday while carrying her baby and a gun is a former digital producer for the NBC-TV affiliate in San Diego. [More]The headline implication is a bit deceptive -- her issue isn't that she's a "liberal," but that she appears to manifest many signs associated with delusional disorder. Such people can retain intelligence and have an answer for everything that turns back on the problem being within those who challenge their beliefs. If you really want to get lost down this rabbit hole, check out her Facebook page and YouTube feed.
According to the Circuit Attorney’s Office, 34-year-old Christopher Childers is facing fourth-degree assault charges for trying to hurt his fellow female police officer with a department-issued taser. [More]Not only more trustworthy than you and me, but evidently a lot braver, too.
A New Jersey police officer and a New York City high school teacher are among 16 men who allegedly tried to set up sexual encounters with people they thought were teenage boys and girls. [More]Sick. He couldn't just demand it at traffic stops like normal "Only Ones"?

University hosts no-whites-allowed faculty and staff listening sessions — to promote inclusivity [More]Can other "private" businesses do that, too, and maybe reverse polarity?
These are the U.S. states most and least dependent on the gun industry [More]I'm sure they're trying to evoke some kind of conclusion here, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what except to bolster "progressive" wishful thinking that guns are losing popularity. I have to confess I've never really thought of state "dependency" outside of urging manufacturers to tell gun-grabbers to go to hell and good luck arming their "Only Ones."
With police decals that meld into the cruiser’s white paint job and emergency light bars that are concealed on the inside of the windshield, these police cars — unless you look closely — could be mistaken for just another Ford Taurus on the road, giving impaired drivers a false sense of security. [More]Or giving unimpaired drivers legitimate justification for suspecting they're about to be victimized by Fauxnly Ones and reacting accordingly.
New Bill Would Allow Cannabis Patients To Buy And Keep Guns [More]What's the prognosis?
3% chance of being enacted...You'd have to be stoned to believe those in power didn't know exactly what they were doing when they offered this birthright tradeoff, or that they have any interest in expanding the number of "lawfully" armed citizens.
