Locked and Loaded
I'll be joining Bill Frady at 7pm Eastern to talk about the latest revelations on ATF management ignoring legal and technical advice to impose political rules.
To listen in, head on over to Genesis Communications Network and select Channel 5.
UPDATE: Surprise!
Who's Ready for a Good Constitutional Crisis?
Trump will sign spending bill and declare a national emergency... [More]And some Obama-appointed federal judge will issue an injunction...
Young Stayed
So much for rights delayed being rights denied.
So now we wait.
And keep our fingers crossed.
UPDATE: Two hours after posting I see Facebook has taken it down as spam:
The Art of the Steal
Less of a wall than even what Democrats already agreed to ... Liberal local officials have veto power over wall ... This bill contains a blatant amnesty for the worst cartel smugglers ... This bill contains a blatant amnesty for the worst cartel smugglers ... Doubling low-skilled workers... [More]I never will understand chess...

Turn Out a Turncoat
“A quick glance over Hanger’s voting record shows us that he killed Constitutional Carry bills three years in a row... [More]All the while laughing at those who believed him...
Why not help wipe the smile off his phony face?

More Kool Aid, Please...
So what are Second Amendment volunteers and leaders to make of these critics? Like the Saxon fyrd at the Battle of Hastings, these critics, as they have in the past, are willing to take the fight to defend gun rights down with them in a suicide charge against the Bloomberg’s of the world. All of this for the sake of ideological extremism, rhetorical “purity”, and of course to oversee a group of nonprofits that raises $ 400-plus million a year of total revenue. [More]These are the geniuses that have led California all these years to such impressive results -- for the other side.
I was surprised at who sent me the link. He once tried to take me to task for rejecting another ladle full of happy juice...
Just a Few More Ought to Do the Trick
Bosse said King illegally possessed that gun and others while under a felony indictment. He pointed to King's social media postings, which contained photos of him with other guns. He said King also recorded several rap videos that involved him posing with firearms. [More]Sounds like we need more commonsense gun safety laws for you and me to obey!

About Those Infringements...
First, it must be kept in mind that only in the rarest of circumstances will the Court render a decision on other than the narrowest grounds possible. [More]And there's no guarantee even on stuff like this. Those in power will never cede it -- not the real stuff, anyway -- unless there's a credible "or else" attached to a demand.
[Via Mack H]
Just to be Clear
The message to legislators was clear: Oppose administrative forfeiture and you oppose law enforcement as a whole. The message to citizens was even more ominous: Choose between your rights and your safety. [More]What's lacking in all this is a clear message back to those who believe their province is to rule.

A Defensive Strategy with Teeth
We're the Only Ones Just Following Orders Enough
Don't blame me for the orientation.
Discussion follows.
Imagine had he said "No." Anybody think the Sardaukar would have shrugged it off as easily as they do their oaths?
This is why a few of us refused to place our heads in the noose.
And comments like those on this thread are why I refuse to frequent forums.

Isn't That Special?
We're the Only Ones Unappreciated Enough
We'll Learn More
First the "attack" on that actor by a "Trump supporter" and now this? [More]
It's all just too convenient.
As is the excuse that the Beast "misreported" after the job of inciting a virtual mob was complete.
It's been several days now-- with all the "reports" spreading the word and ginning up the fury, why don't we know who this guy is yet?

Drunk on Power
Have Beer, Lose Guns [More]Yep. I've got a couple of beers in the fridge, some Cabernet stored in the basement, some mini-single bottles when I'd like a glass with dinner but don't want to open a full bottle, a partial bottle of rum left over from when we made Christmas egg nog, and some bourbon and single malt in a kitchen cabinet. And guess what:
Every time I indulge, I have ready access to GUNS!!! ( or would if I admitted to owning any). And I can't tell you how many times my impaired judgment and alcohol-fueled rage have resulted in close calls over the decades (unless you consider "zero" a countable number).
If we can't be trusted at a restaurant, why should we be trusted at home?
The answer, of course, is we're not, at least by those who want us disarmed.
We're the Only Ones Off-the-Cuff Enough
A person with knowledge of the investigation said that Grooms' girlfriend got into a dispute with Doe at a restaurant, and called Grooms. He is accused of showing up and identifying himself as a police officer, handcuffing Doe and driving him around in his car while berating him over the dispute. Grooms then released Doe, the person with knowledge of the investigation said. [More]Dare we speculate on predictable personality types? I look forward to the day when she gets caught cheating on him and then levels abuse charges.

Once We Ban Bump Stocks We Can Put This All Behind Us
DOJ’s Rosenstein Doles Out $24 Million in Hush Money for Las Vegas Massacre Cops & ‘Victims’ after FED Cover-Up [More]Lemme guess -- it's another 3D chess move...

The Biggest Barrier is Democrats
It's Ultimately All About Confiscation
Democratic House Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries defended his party’s push for a universal background check bill Wednesday, claiming that any enforcement of the legislation — including federal firearm registration — will be left to the Department of Justice to decide. [More]They're feeling confident enough to drop the "universal background check" euphemism and admit to what some of us have been warning about for years.

Give Us This Day...
Panera Bread's Socialist 'Pay What You Want' Experiment Fails Miserably [More]It worked about as well as their "progressive" gun policy...
Queen to Queen's Level 3
Stop reacting like a leftist! This whole bump stock ordeal is part of a game Trump is playing on the left. Trump knows very well that it will go to court and the ATF decision will be found unconstitutional. I’d bet on it! trump is playing triple level chess, congress is playing checkers! [More]So is Barr a Knight or a Bishop, and which piece carries a red flag?
I guess if we win our lawsuit, it was all part of the master strategy to manipulate us pawns...
Swell duds, your highness!
Rise of the Machines
The Pentagon made public for the first time on Feb. 12 the outlines of its master plan for speeding the injection of artificial intelligence (AI) into military equipment, including advanced technologies destined for the battlefield. [More]They might just want to strangle Professor-General Norden now and save everyone a lot of grief...
