Thank a Democrat Public Educator
An Effective Combination
Facebook bans Louis Farrakhan, Milo Yiannopoulos, InfoWars and others from its platforms as 'dangerous' [More]Give it time and I'm sure they'll get around to us lesser wrong-thinkers. I see several reportable posts here today alone.
Unclear on the Concept...
...of guilt, innocence and due process... [More]
How much more ignorant must constituents who elect such incompetents be?
Limitless Power?
Instead of a $400 contribution limit for the entire political movement as a whole, the legal limit now becomes $400 per person. Since there is no limit on the number of people who can do this, for most practical purposes, there is now no legal limit on the group. [More]I pass this on to those of you who grok such things. I have tried, and I have some kind of mental block that takes me back 40+ years to pulling an all-nighter studying for an Econ midterm and reading the same paragraph over and over again with the same frustration as if I were trying to decipher hieroglyphs. If somebody said "blockchain" to me at this point, I'd probably burst into tears.
In Mint Condition
New One Dollar Canadian Coin Features Two Men Kissing [More]No doubt due to popular demand.
We're still a few years away from the fisting 10-year-olds half-dollar.
Of Course You Realize This Means War
U.S. Appeals Court upholds AG Maura Healey’s interpretation of assault weapons ban [More]I see GOAL has not decided on an appeal to SCOTUS. We have a right to know the government's ultimate intentions but must make sure the arguments are centered on the Founding intent of an armed citizenry keeping and bearing weapons suitable for militia utility. That way there will be no weasel-wording around a John Roberts-led court ruling justifying armed rebellion.
Speaking of which, I had an occasion the other night to watch Amistad, and found it interesting that the movie version of the High Court's opinion acknowledged the slaves were "free individuals with certain legal and moral rights, including the right to engage in insurrection against those who would deny them their freedom."
You could say that's implied if not specifically stated in the actual decision, but I found it curious to see that rhetoric in a film coming out of Hollywood and Spielberg. Then again, I was half-expecting to see Anthony Hopkins' John Quincy Adams wheeled in front of the court on an upright gurney wearing a muzzle mask.

All Things Being Equal
It’s the same rules for everybody. [More]Not really. We can be prosecuted for defending our lives with a gun if we're in the wrong place. Plus if the cops are lying and withholding evidence, chances are it will be done against us instead of for us.
And don't get me started on if the attacker you're defending yourself against is an "Only One"...

Is the Pope Catholic?
Prominent clergy, scholars accuse Pope Francis of heresy in open letter [More]Say it ain't so!
The thought strikes, if you burn him at the stake and put it on pay-per-view, you could pay for the wall.

aka Mandatory Releasing
Ralph Northam: I won’t sign another mandatory minimum sentence bill into law. Here’s why. [More]They don't work to improve public safety anyway. Here's why.

'Top Men'
Last week, HB 545 was voted out of the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee 7-2 with three Republicans siding with the four Democrats ... [More]So why isn't this post prominently and clearly identifying those traitors and leading a campaign to blast the hell out of them on their social media accounts?

With Friends Like These...
Roblan has been telling people he “must” vote for it in committee but plans to vote “no” on the floor. This is a ruse. As we said, if it gets to the floor it passes, and Roblan knows that. [More]In other words, he thinks his gun owner constituents are ignorant. I guess if enough don't tell him they're on to that trick and won't stand for it, he'll be right.
Speaking of Aptronyms
The problem is — and I’m hardly alone in thinking this — that the NRA doesn’t really support me, at least anymore. Their mission, once focused on education, safety and proficiency, seems to have narrowed to a fixation on the preservation of both Republican politicians and the unfettered ability to buy, sell and carry any and every kind of firearm in every conceivable time and place. [More]So says "Greg Hunter," Fudd and Democrat apparatchik. Way to give aid and comfort to the enemies of gun owners, Quisling. If I were an FFL and I knew this guy, I'd tell him to get the hell out of my store.
You want the NRA's original mission? It was to train American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”
Here's where being marginalized by the media and the search engines kills us-- by having this disinformation appear on NBC News, this will get thousands of times more eyeballs than niche "gun advocacy" sites can draw, and influence thousands of times more voters. That's the reason behind the only thing I ask of readers, not that most will bother.

No Responsive Records

Herschel has some thoughts. [More]
To reiterate, it's not "us" creating "conspiracy theories": Mr. Stamboulieh, Mr. Savage and I are simply repeating what the government is saying, and if that results in inferences and conclusions, they are the ones who can clear it all up -- and won't.
I received the Chisolm letter from the principals the other day along with the document that prompted this response. There's more to say, which I will in a day or so when I finish some other stuff I'm working on first.
The main "spoiler" I'll give away is that the government attorney is being cute here, and I don't think the federal judiciary is going to appreciate that.
Stay tuned.
Civilians Have No Need for 'Weapons of War'?
Videos emerging from Venezuela Tuesday show anti-Nicolás Maduro protesters being reportedly shot at and run over by military members while civilians are unable to use conventional weapons to defend themselves following a private gun ownership ban in 2012. [More]You don't say.

Imams Demand Action
Enjoy time getting to know other members, have some refreshments and help us make a butterfly mobile for the Islamic Center of Nashville. [More]Will you be wearing orange burqas?
Let's have a show of hands.

Blanket of Protection
Another deadly attack in a “gun-free” zone. But thanks to politicians in Raleigh, only the innocent were free of guns… [More]Who do those guys think they are?
Wayne LaPierre...?
The Rest is History
We should all be ready to do our duty as American citizens and, when duty calls, each of us should embrace our inner Rooftop Korean. [More]Learn from the past.
Those who won't are doomed.
What Happens in Vegas
Marijuana lounges approved by Las Vegas City Council [More]Don't expect it to stay in Vegas.

A Little Bird Told Me
...the group’s board unanimously re-elected Wayne LaPierre as chief executive on Monday... [More]So I can take it there's no truth to what I'm being told, that no vote on that was actually taken, but instead, unanimous consent was recorded because there was no other candidate and thus no objection? If so, is it a distinction without a difference?
UPDATE: Not directly responsive, but tangentially related...
