#ReleaseTheNRAQuestionnaire

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said Tuesday evening that she is launching a presidential exploratory committee, throwing her hat into a crowded field of potential 2020 White House candidates.  [More]
It's not too late to ask her some tough questions on guns.

You know, instead of deliberately lobbing softballs.

Going to the Mat

Ranchers and farmers near the U.S.-Mexico border have been finding prayer rugs on their properties in recent months, according to one rancher who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by cartels. [More]
Curious how those with the resources to prove such allegations for all to see don't seem interested.

Open the Pod Bay Doors, HAL

ROGUE AI Alexa DOWN – Amazon helper stopped working, ‘ignored users’ and wouldn’t turn off  [More]
Say, who's up for some RFID-connected "smart guns"?

There is No Try

Cornyn offers 'reciprocity' for 17 million concealed carry permit holders [More]
And the chances of it passing in the now-Democrat-controlled House are...?

But back when they controlled it all it wasn't the right time?

He knows all that, of course. They all do.

We're the Only Ones All F****d Up Enough


Good grief, where to begin...? [More]

Panty fetishists? "Slurred" speech -- in more ways than one? Mowing down a four-year-old ... on the sidewalk?

Arguing Over Trivialities

If Rehaif was not aware of his changed immigration status, his lawyers argue, he cannot be convicted for being an illegal alien in possession of a fire arm under the relevant law. [More]
This goes to a much deeper question.

Like how can your status change and the exit process not begin?

Going for the Brass Ring

Gun Owners of America Funds Challenge to National Firearms Act in U.S. Supreme Court [More]
If nothing else it will strip away illusions from all but the willingly self-deluded.

Killer Instinct

A soulful piano ballad channeling Springsteenian 1980s power rock, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers tackles President Donald Trump's border wall, mass incarceration and gun violence by anchoring each stance with singing "...in the land of the free." [More]
Remember when editor-in-chief Steve Forbes was running for president and wanted us to believe he was our pal?

Nice to see NRATV totally avoid that "single issue" while sucking up to the guy who ultimately approves such subversive paeans. I especially like the "Help Save the 2nd - Donate Now" header.


We're the Only Ones Off the Record Enough

“Why Doesn’t the FBI Videotape Interviews?” [More]
Who's the average accepted-by-the-prosection juror going to believe? Someone he's been conditioned to regard as a hero, or the slob who must have done something wrong or he wouldn't be here?

Home at Last

CNN hires John Kasich as on air contributor [More]
Will they at least give him a donut cushion?

We're the Only Ones Resistant Enough

An investigation caused the officers to believe that Collier was drunk and when they tried to arrest Collier for DWI, he resisted and assaulted the officers on the scene. [More]
So can we infer professional courtesy from no mention of guns being drawn...?

Who Says Knowing What You're Talking About is a Requirement?

“We have legislators drafting bills who have no idea how firearms work or any sense of firearm nomenclature,” Fortunato said. “When decision makers want to restrict someone’s constitutional rights, they shouldn’t go off half-cocked.” [More]
I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand, do we really want them actually knowledgeable and thus able to craft less-challengeable legislation?

On the other hand, they'll vote it down and demonstrate to all that remaining ignorant is a major part of their agenda.

What Does that Tell Us about Him?

Think Progress Writer Was Quite Upset a Concealed-Carrying Woman Killed Her Armed Mugger [More]
That's because he knows she's more of a man than he will ever be.

And can there be anything more Opposite Day than "Think Progress"?

Teach Your Children Well

Company co-founded by Nancy Pelosi's son charged with securities fraud [More]
Don't worry-- he's established plausible deniability.

Besides, he's a member of that Big Club you ain't in.

Don't worry, Chris says it's OK.

It's Actually More of a Continuum

If leftists believe any of the above, let alone all of it, they are deluded people ... If leftists do not believe those claims, they are not deluded; they lie for effect and, therefore, engage in evil. [More]
It's not necessarily either/or.

And I assume the above holds true for Groverians?

Sly Like a Foxx

Jamie Foxx Calls for Solutions to Gun Violence [More]
What he offers are statements like:
“I kill all the white people in the movie,” he boasted. “How great is that?”

Sins of the Father

Patterson will not be allowed firearms, contact with Jayme or the neighbors and dog walker who alerted authorities to her escape. [More]
Gotta close that Relative Loophole...

[Via Dave Licht]

It Could Be Worse?

The temporary decree, which will expire in 120 days unless ratified by Congress, is likely to thrill his supporters, but many others fear it will only worsen violence in Brazil. [More]
The cognitive dissonance -- it burns!

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Botched Brexit means clock ticking on UK's chance for sovereignty, freedom from EU *
Yeah, sure. "Botched."

Opposite Day "progressives" are all for "democracy" until it doesn't go their way.

Mr. Kennedy's warning comes to mind, but the government has pretty much taken the Captain Parker option off the table.

Representative of Whom?

A federal judge on Tuesday invalidated the Trump administration's addition of a U.S. citizenship question to the 2020 census, the first ruling in a handful of lawsuits that claim the query will hurt immigrants. [More]
See, disenfranchising you and me doesn't count.

An Obama judge said it, I believe it, that settles it. And don't get me started on Harry Reid.

Educated Guesses

LA teachers union advocates for illegals, then complains of overcrowded classrooms [More]
What, they don't teach math?

Too busy with their Opposite Day "progressive" anti-bullying efforts...?

UPDATE: These are the people entrusted with-- what do the collectivists call it? -- "our most precious resource." It's not hard to see how Comrade Duch's can arise from such ranks.

Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Bunch of Media Subversives

Company known for deep cost-cutting offers to buy Gannett [More]
I can't tell you how concerned I am.

Throwing the Baby Out with the Bathwater

Does this still work?" O'Rourke said. "Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships . . . and security agreements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?" [More]
Yeah, the problem is we've been following the Constitution too closely all these years.

Why not go with something that works?

An Africentric School


[More]
Let me guess: The parents are neither Republicans nor NRA members.

Let me also guess the school is a result of half a century of Opposite Day "progressive" school desegregation efforts.

From Each According to What's His

“He said that in the event the government intervenes, the buildings would then be controlled by a ‘community nonprofit,'” the report said. [More]
How very "progressive."
