Well, We See Who the Unreasonable Ones Are

And some in the pro-Second Amendment camp have been known to mock people calling for new gun laws when they use incorrect terminology in reference to firearms. [More]
How rude, expecting people who want the government to kill you if you don't obey them to know what they're talking about.

Warn't Us

Contrary to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's claim that his new gun control measures have been "crafted by Second Amendment supporters," Ohioans for Concealed Carry has not helped design, and does not support, Gov. DeWine's proposal.  [More]
OK, so who did and what did they tell him?

A Perfect Opportunity

‘Moms against Guns’ lead agitator, Shannon Watts, is coming to town to dictate the joys of gun control to North Carolina’s citizens, and our own WBTV is giving her the platform to do it… GRNC is requesting that its supporters attend the event as audience members. [More]
Someone ask her about flacking for Roundup.

Like a Dog Returning to Its Vomit

“I’m in Australia, they don’t have problems like this. This is starting to be a uniquely American situation. I am a gun owner and strong Second Amendment person,” Pirro said. [More]
I noticed.

And then all you need to do is pressure insurance companies to not offer such coverage.

Still, this looks like it could be another Mr. Benny moment.

Gunkapos Wanted. Inquire Within

More so than anti-gun advocates, we need gun owners to speak up about how to stop this contagion. To advocate for the policies and positions we agree on.  [More]
You know, Fudds 'n frauds to help create an illusion of credibility for when we lie.

All Part of the Grand Design

Trump has always come through in the end... [More]
Like he did with "bump stocks"?

I'm not all that confident in a "Don't worry, he's really lying" strategy anyway. That's not how the Founders sold the Second Amendment. Does anybody hear any Republican politicians using their bully pulpits to elaborate on why it was included in the Bill of Rights, and what we stand to lose if its recognition is eviscerated?

I pray the apologists are right, that the guy is mostly making noise for political reasons.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't too, and loud enough for the president to hear on the chance he's testing how far he can go.

We're the Only Ones Changing Enough

In a blog entry posted Thursday afternoon, KCPD Chief Rick Smith pointed to the fact that individuals must attend a safety education course and obtain a license to hunt an animal in Missouri. However, anyone 19 years old or older can carry a concealed weapon without a permit. [More]
"Anyone" can. Especially the ones who are "prohibited."

And he thinks more prior restraint infringements against the "law-abiding" will change the way those conditioned to be unfit to live in a civilized society behave?

Et tu, Dan?

One of the biggest disappointments has to be Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas. Crenshaw, who for many was a shining star amongst conservatives, shocked gun owners when in a tweet after the El Paso shooting stated “Let’s start with the TAPS Act. Maybe also implement state “red flag” laws, or gun violence restraining orders.” [More]
His BS "due process" excuse not only doesn't hold water, but it would also be impossible to restrain states that Congressional action would fund. Add to that once this is passed it will be one less hurdle toward the goal of total "control" to overcome the next time evil visits, and you know it will, and something else will then be up for "reasonable compromise."

It's time to repeat what I said after Sandy Hook:

WE WON’T STAND FOR SCAPEGOATING

NO NEW GUN LAWS

DENY SUCCESS TO MASS MURDERERS BY ABOLISHING PHONY ‘GUN-FREE’ VICTIM / KILLER-ENABLING ZONES NOW

WORK WITH US OR WE WILL WORK TO RETIRE YOU

Or not, right, Molon Labeers?

I think the Governor's letter says it all. Thank him and make sure your State Rep votes to sustain the veto. [More]

Lolita Express to Hell

Epstein’s abrupt death Saturday cut short a criminal prosecution that could have pulled back the curtain on the inner workings of a high-flying financier with connections to celebrities and presidents, though prosecutors have vowed to continue investigating. [More]
Who thinks anyone but future historians will ever uncover what really happened?

My guess would be those who moved forward had secured enough "In the event of my death" evidence to make shutting down testimony the least risky option. That means whoever has the files also has the short hairs.

It does make it fair to ask if total government control in a "secured" environment is not enough to protect one life, what makes anyone think "gun control" will work for all of us in an unsecured one?

Important Statement from NRA CEO & Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre

“I’m not inclined to discuss private conversations with President Trump or other key leaders on this issue,” says Wayne LaPierre, CEO and EVP of the National Rifle Association. [More]
You damn well owe the members an exact account of what you told him. The only thing these weasel-words lack is the perennial "rest assured."

And the qualifier for "infringed" is now "unfairly"? Talk about equivocating.

It allows for betrayals like this.

And I repeat: What's with "CEO"?
