Meat of Clay?

Pete Buttigieg Accused of Sexual Assault [More]
Despite the prevailing mandate to believe accusers, nothing was done about George Takei.

It's almost like some groups are protected and given a pass or something...

Glad I used a question mark...

Sounds like Wohl and Burkman need to be sued into oblivion.

Mystery to Me

The sources said he had converted to Islam, but it was not known whether that was related to the plot. [More]
Even Yul is stumped.

Oh, Ho, Ho It's Magic You Know, Never Believe, it's Not So

Taking seriously the supernatural effects of guns has broad relevance for understanding and addressing gun violence globally. [More]
"Taking seriously" is one hell of a qualifier.

When Jackals Attack

New York AG Letitia James launches investigation into NRA [More]
Wounded prey is easier prey to bring down.

That the wounds were self-inflicted bolsters the case for top-down housecleaning.

We're the Only Ones Suspicious Enough

This assertion of “suspicion” gives him, the AGW, pretext to stop anyone he likes and subject them to an Authority Display. [More]
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

We're the Only Ones Risk-Averse Enough

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says it will pull back all staff responding to calls for services within the City of Portland, citing “unnecessary personal and professional risk”. [More]
So being a Bloomberg town hasn't helped?

Maybe Ted Wheeler could give Antifa armbands and deputize them...

Can The National Rifle Association Be Saved?


Herschel gives a good analysis, including of the continued denial by the same prag faction that has been giving the Lairds a pass all these years. [More]

What Difference Does It Make?



I know this is from 2016 but I just became aware of it and thought it was fricking brilliant.

We're the Only Ones 'My Bad' Enough

Attempted murder charges dropped after police discover officer accidentally shot himself [More]
You know, "it discharged."

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Leading by Example Enough

Fired for a felony, again for perjury. Meet the new police chief. [More]
Setting the tone is important.

[Via bondmen]

Quis Custodiet ipsos Custodes?

A former federal contractor pleaded guilty on Wednesday to stealing firearms, ammunition and firearm parts from a U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives facility where he was a security guard. [More]
With rigorous procedures like this in place, who can say with a straight face that gun confiscation to keep them out of the wrong hands won't work?

[Via bondmen]

Completing the Lineup

Anthony Colandro Elected NRA 76th Director [More]
I'd say a follow-up in a few months will be in order.

[Via Felix B]

Protected Criminality



A recurring bit of responsibility-dodging I sometimes hear is that "we" need some kind of billionaire on "our side" like Bloomberg.

"Let George do it," the saying goes.

George ain't gonna do it.

It won't happen unless gun owners do.

Aid and Comfort

Pope sends aid to migrants stranded at the US border [More]
Add a "pathway to citizenship" and this "Catholic leader" ought to get a lifetime achievement award for solidifying Democrat rule, meaning full speed ahead on abortions.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...

Britain's 'pervasive horror of knife crime' reaches record for number of stabbing homicides [More]
This is a job for ... Tommy Lee.

Rearrange that to "a State Unworthy of a Visit."

Donald Trump has been branded a “threat to our world order” and unworthy of a state visit, after he moved to pull the United States from the international Arms Trade Treaty. [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, it deserves to be threatened, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Toy Story


[More]
Maybe SNUG could trade some of these for toy guns...

[Via Jess]

SNUG as a Thug in a Rug

The idea is for children to turn in toy guns for something non-violent, like basketballs, dolls, or remote-controlled cars. [More]
Basketball... there's something to imprint off of.

A Sop for the Masses


[More]
OK, good. It's about time we got some payback from this guy. Especially if the Senate takes a hit next election cycle.

As for the trampling, we'll do that ourselves.

Rhymes with 'Funt'

Kamala Harris owns a handgun. That's disqualifying for a 2020 Democrat in my book. [More]
Mine too, but not for the same reasons.

Interesting that Alan Funt's kid believes a woman making a choice he disagrees with should be disenfranchised from eligibility to engage in the political arena.  How very Opposite Day "progressive" of him.

[Via Jess]

TKO

First Conviction Prosecuted Under SAFE Act Overturned by NYS Supreme Court [More]
I wouldn't be claiming any great 2A victories just yet. The way I read this, it wasn't the state's usurped "authority" that was overruled, it was the way that bitch-slapping punk Schneiderman got the indictment.

A Healthy Sense of Self-Preservation


[More]
Yeah, pretty much:
An armed off-duty Border Patrol agent who was inside the synagogue returned fire at the shooter, who then retreated in a vehicle before calling 911 and surrendering to police without incident, according to police.
I wonder what those who laugh at the "good guy with a gun" meme would have been able to do.

Anybody have a count on how many California "commonsense gun safety laws" were broken? Because I see the blood-dancers are once more loathe to let a crisis go to waste.

UPDATE: Bear is following reports that the gun used to drive away the monster was kept in-house by the rabbi.

The Hatemongers of Record

NY Times publishes clearly anti-Semitic cartoon, deletes only after intense criticism [More]
More proof that Opposite Day "progressives" just recycle old ideas.

[Via Michael G]

Speaking of Separating Children from Their Families...

A Tennessee man beat an infant to death after discovering that he wasn’t the child’s father ... Avila-Agurcia is an alias for Carlos Zuniga-Aviles, a Honduran national who has been deported five times. [More]
So then he's not "a Tennessee man," is he?

Nothing to See Here

Obama deputy Ben Rhodes: Investigating Origins of Russia Probe 'Waste of Time' [More]
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

[H/T WRSA]

All Joking Aside

Joaquin Phoenix Joker Film Collides With Hollywood Disability Uproar [More]
Because homicidal maniacs... uh, the differently moraled have feelings too.

If Word Gets Out

The potential lie that could actually destroy Trump ... If it really is the case ... we have no way of knowing ... if they are right about this and their claims can be proven... [More]
In other words, they got nothin'.

But what the hell, the mission to smear by innuendo was accomplished.

'Near Church' Shooting

The shooting occurred during a cookout on the same block as Perkins Square Baptist Church [More]
Disregard that this was SOP for Baltimore. Gotta build up those category stats the way they do with "school shootings."

Self-Defense is Predation

Right-wing parties are using the issue of immigration to mobilize voters ahead of the next month’s EU election, the European socialists complain. “Political predators preying on migration crisis,” the socialist candidate for the EU’s top job, Frans Timmermans, told French TV network EuroNews. [More]
The commies really do have Orwell mastered.

And "candidate"? So they've finally had enough of the Eurorummy?

Yo-ho, Yo-ho, La Vida de un Pirata para Mí

Witnesses said at least six men armed with guns and knives boarded the rig at 9:30pm and proceeded directly to the third floor to wake up the crew. After locking up workers in the cafeteria, the thieves wandered freely, looting equipment, materials, money and anything of value they could carry. [More]
I don't understand. How'd they get guns in Mexico?
