We're the Pseudo-'Only Ones' Warning Enough
We're the Only Ones Streisand-Effected Enough
We're the Only Ones Academic Enough
At a public hearing earlier this month, Concord University Police Officer David Eldridge says his department would have to hire 13 additional officers and purchase multiple metal detectors if the bill passes. [More]Did anyone ask the idiot why, and then press him to flesh that out? Anyone capable of calling BS?

In-Your-Face Power Wielding
House Rep Bill Post has been removed from the House Judiciary Committee. Post is one of the most committed pro-gun legislators in Oregon history. House Speaker Tina Kotek removed Post from the committee (the one that hears gun bills) for the crime of tweeting pro-gun messages on his Twitter account. [More]With all due respect, I don't see how expressing "outrage" to a Portland Democrat who Republicans won't even run against will do anything but give her a good cackle.
Words as Weapons
Changing Reality with Words - Beware of euphemisms. [More]I'm reminded of "Framing the Terms" from our old GunTruths site, observations still relevant to the discussion...
As an aside, feral sons Uday and Qusay have been known to crack up at an old movie when a character says he or she are feeling gay.

All Politics is Local
Democratic Rep. Connie Keogh of Missoula argued that Regier's efforts would prevent local governments "from passing commonsense public safety measures regarding firearms in public places designed to keep their communities safe." [More]Funny. Connie doesn't show the same concern for local sentiments when she tries to impose disarmament edicts over everyone.
But don't worry -- she comes from a long line of big "but" Fudds.

Benching Benchmade
The Gun Feed Poll: Are you done with Benchmade? [More]I am.
Let 'em sell stab-proof knives to the Limeys.
We're the Fauxnly Ones Bejewelled Enough
Robbers dressed as lawmen to steal $30,000 in jewelry, police say [More]Be aware of how often this happens, because you never know when you might need to prove that we have good cause to suspect all entering our homes by force.

The Phantom Gun!
Firearms Friday
Today's show is packed with 2A goodness. We start off with a couple big headlines, then we pick it up with Rob Pincus from Personal Defense Network. Then in hour two we do a quick update with Greg Collins from Homer Friends of NRA about their raffle tomorrow, then chat with David Codrea author of the WarOnGuns.com and writer for Ammoland. Finally we finish it all off with a weekend movie/Oscars update with Willie Waffle! Whew.I'll be on this morning at 11:15 Eastern. You can listen via live stream from The Michael Dukes Show website or watch it live via the Facebook stream.
Particularly Instructive
This effort was particularly instructive in revealing the dangerous mentality behind the blacklist, and the menace it poses not only to conservatives like myself, but to the future of our democracy. [More]And that "our democracy" reference is particularly instructive on how "conservatives" help the enemy by perpetuating a huge and intentional con job.
That to me overshadows all the good points he makes.

Mob Mentality
General Rule
More than a dozen retired top military commanders, leaders and advisers, whose careers spanned both Republican and Democratic administrations, are throwing their weight behind a bill in the House and Senate that would require universal background checks for all U.S. gun sales. [More]These subversive oath-breakers again...
Remember, at one time, one of our greatest military heroes was a guy named Arnold...
We're the Only Ones Dispensable Enough
A “thin blue line” flag meant to honor law enforcement was removed from the Connecticut State Capitol this week after Democrats complained it might offend Black Lives Matter supporters. [More]At least we see who matters more to them. Don't expect those of us you would ignore your oaths over and disarm to feel sorry for you.

An Arizona 'Republican'
Give Me a T! Give Me an A!
Cheerleaders given awards for biggest breasts, butt [More]Perhaps an honest appraisal early on of exactly what it is they bring to the table will help dissuade delusions of greater significance...
And speaking of taking a knee (or two)...
Good Question
Is Speaker Bonnen Trying to Screw Gun Owners? [Watch]But...but...but...
What have we learned about turncoats?
CJ Grisham is establishing a new 2A YouTube channel. If that's a venue you use, why not subscribe?
