Today is the 27th anniversary of the siege at Ruby Ridge, a significant day in the annals of Big Government run amok. [More]Time to reflect again on this and this, and what they mean for holding government assassins accountable...

It's Not Like You Can Say 'Happy Horiuchiu Day'

Doomsday Preppers
...the Army is telling the public not to be alarmed at the suspicious-looking activity ... The students will match wits with more seasoned soldiers, who will “act as realistic opposing forces and guerrilla freedom fighters,” [More]Why not be suspicious of a military that is training to kill freedom fighters?
I guess calling up these guys for some "security of a free State" exercises isn't on the table?

Something Must Be Done!
Not Even with HER Mouth
Mass Neutering
Time to Put the Masks Back on
Republicans start to sour on gun control laws after Trump's reversal [More]I didn't know ADD was contagious. Speaking of which:
"I'm going to look at everything we looked at — everything," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told reporters last week. "I'm a Second Amendment supporter. I'm a member of the NRA. So I'm not ... taking away people's guns.”I know some 18-to 21-year-olds who will be delighted to hear he's reversing his decision.
He is, isn't he?

It Goes Deeper Than That
Up for BIDS
The system knows only that someone was checked but has no idea if they even bought a gun, let alone what model or serial number. [More]That's been proposed in detail for years-- with the acknowledgment that it is still an infringement but it nonetheless significantly reduces controls and opportunities for abuse. It's been deliberately ignored by the rice bowl gun groups who know about it but don't want you to.
My position has been that I'm against actually doing it because it's still a prior restraint, but for using it to expose the lying hypocrisy of those who say they want background checks when what they really want is registration.

The Bill of Needs
But in the end, all these arguments boil down to one thing -- what gun control advocates think Americans “need.” [More]Having the power to decide that is half the equation.

The Virtual Cattle Chute
In randomized, controlled, peer-reviewed research I’ve conducted with thousands of people, I’ve shown repeatedly that when people are undecided, I can shift their opinions on just about any topic just by changing how I filter and order the information I show them. I’ve also shown that when, in multiple searches, I show people more and more information that favors one candidate, I can shift opinions even farther. Even more disturbing, I can do these things in ways that are completely invisible to people and in ways that don’t leave paper trails for authorities to trace. [More]They'll never know until it's too late, if ever.

Life Imitates Satire
In a press release earlier this week, Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name), appearing somber and exhausted, said she just wishes there were some kind of group with the firepower and authority to fight back against Antifa. [More]This reminds me of a meme I just saw.

We're the Only Ones Producing Enough
About Those First 13 Words...
A Downside to Everything
The Land of Hate
Channeling 'Big Weasel'
He was paid to keep kids out of gangs. Now, he's charged in grisly MS-13 killings [More]Oh, Hector...
Life By the Bottomless Well
They will receive keys to one of 72 new apartments, complete with a fitness center, in the heart of trendy Koreatown, built at a projected cost of $690,692 for each unit, according to the city controller's office. Two additional projects in the pre-approval phase are expected to top $700,000 per unit in total costs. [More]Outrageous! No wonder there's no money for ASL interpreters for illegals! They are among "the lucky ones" getting new digs, aren't they? Because to exclude them would be racist!
Oh, and watch your step.
The Bright Side of ADD
The president claimed he was going to push through new gun laws in the aftermath of two horrific mass shootings, but White House officials admit he has already lost interest. [More]Possibly.
And possibly a realization is finally sinking in.
Tone Deaf, Isn't She?
Put simply, Wayne is vital to our cause. [More]Do they really think this will start those donations flowing in again, or is this really just another part of hanging on for dear life?
Music, anyone?
They Don't Call It 'Fake News' for Nothing
NBC Dismisses Blaming the Shooter as Just a Talking Point of ‘Gun Control Opponents’ [More]Don't these people have a truck to blow up or something?
Physician, Heal Thyself
Family physicians group urges passage of gun violence prevention bills [More]What's most remarkable is the utter absence of any scientific rationale to make their case.
Look at each paragraph. They appeal to emotion. They talk manipulated popularity. They express opinion. They capitalize on misdirected professional authority.
They do everything but demonstrate they know what the hell they're talking about, which makes their diagnosis and prescription tantamount to malpractice.
It's past time we started calling these self-important frauds what they are: Gunquacks.
Only In America
...a deaf detainee who communicates in American Sign Language said he has not been provided an interpreter. [More]Oh, the humanity!
What, no subsidized comfort animals?
Can anyone doubt this is ultimately the work of enemies bent on destroying the Republic for their own ends?
‘Republicans’ Like Scaramucci Will Drive Gun Owners Out of Party
This is the kind of gun-grabbing Republican we’ll get if we listen to the “moderates.” This is the kind of Republican who considers due-process-eviscerating and confiscation-enabling “red flag laws” and “universal background checks” good first steps before they really let us know how they feel about guns in the hands of anyone they don’t control. [More]Listening to oily weasels like this will prove disastrous, and not just to Republicans.
