We're the Only Ones Aggressive Enough

“We made eye contact," Hutchins said. "He asked me what I was looking at and I asked him what he wanted. We got into a verbal altercation. At that point, he pulled out his gun." [More]
So next time kneel and tug your forelock and we won't have a problem.

Meanwhile, Over at the Stupid Party...

At a time when the Republicans are struggling to have any relevance, when the Democrats have total control over committees and process and are cutting Republicans out of any chance to represent the people who elected them, when they are steamrolling policies that will send this state further into a downward spiral, when they have announced their plans to make the lives of gun owners a legal hell, the Republican "Leadership" is crucifying one of the most committed, pro-gun members of their party. [More]
Yeah, I'm sure that'll make the "progressives" stop painting them as fascists.

And not to be outdone:

We're the Only Ones Undaring Enough

In truth, the Chicago police are terrified of even hinting they doubt Smollett's story. There is no major city in the U.S. where the cops are more distrusted by blacks than in Chicago. The police risk a riot if they let it be known they think Smollett is trying to hoax them. [More]
Then you need to ask yourselves what kind of irrational sociopaths would riot based on questionable allegations they have no knowledge of, and why any society without a death wish would cultivate, nurture and pander to them.

Dispatch from the Front Lines

From WarOnGuns Correspondent Dave Licht:
Just got back from the Martinez, CA / Mark Desaulniers / Mike Thompson town hall meeting
Most of “our” crowd was pretty dowdy and seemingly old.  Many of the commie mommies were in red shirts that were missing their mao collars.
What a staged event for media tools! It was all a dog and pony show for HR-8. The promotional materials on the tables were from Giffords moms not deferential to men. Huge contagion in red t-shirts in the front section and peppered throughout the crowd.
No one actually got to speak (unless they were a favored tool) questions were submitted, read and commented on except with the alleged FFL / Republican tool who couldn’t get enough regulation.
Is it possible that all the questions submitted by firearms / anti-registrationists are inarticulate, belabored and off point while all questions from moms demand communism are succinct? One has to wonder.
There was an alleged FFL front row center in full support of the legislation and wanting to demand more. I came home and looked him up and he went out of business last year but WHAT AN [redacted] and seemingly typical of the pro-gun crowd in attendance ( that submitted questions).
The Giffords material states that 93% of the U.S. population supports universal registration and then Mike Thompson kept repeating that “86% of the NRA support this bill” (though I have never seen that poll finding reported) [You never will because it's a lie.--DC]
Also, they said that the reason the child-killers took the Nov election is because the country wants gun control and that they have already heard HR 8 in committee, next week a vote on the floor and they “expect to pass it in the first hundred days of the Congress.”
This meeting was a media sham for gun control. There is NO HOPE FOR Kalifornistan. Period.
Naturally, my curiosity was piqued about the gunkapo.

It's this guy:
Dublin gun dealer Mike Grant said California has been doing background checks for years, and he supports them. He said without background checks, guns could end up in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. And should that person commit a crime he said, "it just makes the gun dealers, all of us, take more heat."
...Grant said he'd like to see the nation go even further by adopting more of the state's strict gun control laws, including lifetime bans for some people who commit domestic violence or exhibit mental illness.
Here's his business.

If it quacks like a police state apologist...

I'm trying to figure out why any gun owner who cares about his rights would give this guy the time of day, let alone his business. For some reason, the phrase "aid and comfort to the enemy" comes to mind...

At Any Rate

STATES WITH STRONGER gun laws experience lower rates of gun violence, according to Giffords Law Center's annual Gun Law Scorecard released Friday. [More]
Left unsaid:

  • A "gun violence" rate can be higher for a low-population state than a high population state's even though the latter has far more killings.
  • How many of those "higher rate" incidents took place in Democrat urban enclaves within the state?
  • How many of those "higher rate" incidents would have been averted had the edicts the grabbers are pushing been enacted?
  • How do they account for the fact that the 5M or so members of the NRA -- arguably the most heavily-armed civilian population on the planet -- also have a "homicide" rate lower than Japan's when you consider one of the metrics being used is suicide?

It was clear early on that the Justice Department was not interested in investigating or prosecuting its own. [More]
Its been clear since long before that.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Ironic' Is

It seems ironic coming from gun control advocates. But law enforcement agencies across Washington state are looking into threats to kill county sheriffs who have said they will not enforce last year’s gun control measure... [More]
It's not ironic to anyone who has been paying attention to how violent and irrational some of these gun-grabbing lunatics are.

Which I guess automatically excludes "real reporters"...

Vigilante Gun Violence Ends Young Lives Aspiring to Turn Around

Let's hear it for Golden State citizen disarmament laws!

It's a real dilemma for the gun-grabbers-- on the one hand, they're glad the victims weren't armed.  On the other hand, they're disappointed they won't get to add to their "child gun death" statistics.

Unfit to Serve

Republican Speaker of the House Russell Bowers’ office recently informed AzCDL that not only will HB 2257 never be assigned to a committee for a hearing, the bill will not even receive the perfunctory First and Second Reads that most other bills receive.  Meanwhile, Speaker Bowers has assigned anti-rights bills like HB 2577, which would weaken state firearms preemption, to committees for review. [More]
I've found common ground for agreement, if not necessarily for reasons then for ultimate conclusions...

But he's a darling of the American Conservative Union.

Small wonder:
The American Conservative Union has released the latest in its endless series of letters pushing amnesty for illegal aliens and a doubling of future legal immigration. The letter itself is the usual stuff: We’re running out of workers, “spurs economic growth,” ”legal status to undocumented immigrants,” ” border security triggers,” etc.
So his rejection of the bill makes perfect sense when you consider his priority is not fidelity to the Constitution but to business interests über alles.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Police believe Yorlets was shot after he refused to hand over the keys to his car to the suspects in the robbery-gone-awry.

The two other suspects, a 12-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy, were not named. [More]

FBI Vanderboegh Files

These pertain to Mike's earlier groundbreaking and (pretty much) unrecognized work on Oklahoma City...

I wish I had the background to add some salient perspective on this. The best I can offer is to suggest picking some keywords and following up on the hits you get on Sipsey Street.

The guy really was a remarkable man.  What a shame he died as he did, in such financial straits and with so many attacking him.

History is written by the victors. I'm working toward a history that will honor Mike Vanderboegh and remember his enemies as they deserve.

UPDATE: It appears this was an attempt by SPLC operative Nick Martin to see what the FBI had on Mike, and he's disappointed  in there being "no there there."

Ah well, since when have mere facts held back a good leftist smear job? It's funny though, that after Mike's been gone all this time he's still living in their heads rent free.

Stealth Tyranny

Yesterday we learned that the majority party is suspending the rules of the legislature by announcing a bill late in the day on Monday February 11th and then having a joint hearing on the bill the very next day. We also learned that a Bloomberg group had been notified earlier and is planning a demonstration on the day of the hearing. All this was done in secret to keep the Second Amendment supporters in the dark and preventing public testimony that would be contrary to their gun control efforts.  [More]
And you can bet the DSM will be there in force.
