“Knives are arms protected by the Second Amendment,” a complaint filed Wednesday in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii contends. [More]If the government can get away with banning this tool, what won't it be able to infringe on?

Hawaii Butterfly Knife Ban Challenged on Second Amendment Grounds
When Johnny Comes Mincing Home
It was obvious, even at a quick glance, what had happened: This design, this composition, had been altered. The soldier’s hands were originally positioned that way to hold not a flag, but a rifle. [More]Hey, we're lucky it wasn't a walkie-talkie.

Who Will Watch the Crotchmen?
It's the Plaintiffs I'm Worried About
Defendants are permanently enjoined from taking any action to enforce any provisions in the ESLHA Lease... [More]I wonder how many of the beneficiaries of this order will continue to vote Democrat.
The Expendables
"Suncor’s agreement with its independent operators prohibits the carrying or possession of firearms on the property, regardless of whether the firearm is permitted. We are unable to provide additional information, as this is an employment matter between the operator and its employee." [More]No, you are unwilling to provide additional information because it would show from a strict bean-counting point of view you frickin' frostbacks figure the bottom line would be better served with the occasional dead employee and customer.
And yo, idiot law professor: What "other way" was there?
Truth in Advertising
No irony there... |
“Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes." [More]If he keeps it up he'll be eligible to be a "true champion"!
The Young Jerks

And surprise, he's an immigrant from that bastion of liberty, Turkey.

America's Sovereign States: The Obscure History of How 10 Independent States Joined the U.S [More]For some reason, a line from "Hotel California" comes to mind...
Ask DiFi to Stop VAWA from Passing!
Call or email your Senator to urge them to vote NO on H.R. 1585, the Violence Against Women Act. [More]What if my senators are Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris?
GOA, Numbers USA and others do this, too, and there is a workaround the advocacy groups refuse to even try.

Internecine Strife
Their Inside Man
Democrats admit to stealing GOP primary to keep Emmett Hanger in the State Senate [More]What's not to smile about?
There is an alternative.
But that would require those who assure us they're ready to indefinitely take on untold personal sacrifice being willing to do more than anonymously parrot "TINVOWOOT!" in blog and forum comments. So forget it.
And Molon Labe!

Limiting Message Reach
I continue to get email alerts from gun groups notifying members of some imminent development or needed action, and I continue to not be able to do a thing with them for reasons stated and repeated. Email marketing service links don't help either, as they soon go away plus someone could even unsusbscribe the original recipient.
If you want my help spreading the word on this blog or on social media, I need a good link.
The French Mistake
America’s immigration and border-enforcement regime is established by Congress. It can only be reformed by Congress. That means deal-making. That means compromise...If Trump sells an immigration deal, the most loyal among his base will stand and cheer. [More]Yeah? And what'll stop this?
Come on, girls!

That Giant Sucking Sound
It's obvious to all. [More]
Except for our "gun rights leaders."
And that probably includes your state group(s).
With New Zeal
New Zealand MPs overwhelmingly back post-Christchurch gun ban - MPs vote 119-1 to outlaw most semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles [More]Score another one for the zealots.

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

The Obvious Solution
We're the Only Ones Taking Off Enough
Denver police officer suspended for leaving work early to visit strip club [More]At least it looks like he was following well-established database protocols.

Today in Misdirection
Ken Starr says Hillary Clinton DID trigger Vince Foster's suicide when she humiliated him in front of White House staff and admits he omitted the finding in FBI report because he didn't want to 'inflict further pain' on her [More]Why bring this up now? Is somebody getting close to something?
And why does a Thomas Pynchon line come to mind?
At Least He Got the 'Moaning' Part
One of the biggest regrets of my life is not pissing in Bill Kristol’s salmon. [More]That's pretty childish. If that's one of his biggest regrets it also speaks of a remarkably charmed life, but the child still throws public tantrums for more. And tell me the Globe editor who initially allowed this didn't fantasize that as a starting point.
If Kristol Meth is too far to the right, what must that make those of us who consider him a useful idiot tool of the left?
Lindsey, Lindsey, He's Our Man!
Report from the Hill: Lindsey Graham Says Federal Govt. Should ‘Incentivize’ States to Enact Red Flag Laws [More]Kind'a like kicking the decision back to Herod. That way, Republicans will have even less control over how such "legislation" is shaped, but plausible deniability over responsibility for what comes out, allowing them to then publicly wring their hands and distance themselves from the results. And just wait 'til they try to withhold funds over something they say goes too far, and some activist federal judge says differently. All of which will be made moot by the Democrat majorities they seem to be welcoming through serial betrayals.
Look who just gave Lindsey a big "Attaboy!" (at least until it's time to back a Democrat, at which point their tune will change to what an extremist he is).
But...but...but he's committed...
Just ask Chris.
I'd like to say these people have no idea what they're unleashing on us and how it will then be expanded, but come on: They know exactly what they're doing.

Meanwhile, Over in Condition White...
“That they would be brazen enough to come in and steal somebody’s computer, I mean, the whole thing just surprises me,” Cheryl Bolton said. [More]Predators are brazen enough to do a lot of things, Cheryl. If that surprises you, you haven't been paying attention. Just like the oblivious theft victims.
