Ultimately, it will be game over anyway unless we do one other thing, and pronto: Recognize that the Founders were pretty smart chess players themselves, and when they recognized the importance – the necessity – of a well regulated militia for the security of a free State, they knew what they were talking about. [More]What do we do when the biggest impediments to "shall not be infringed" appear to be the leaders we've supported?

How Soon Can the Militia Apply?
Super Duty LE is available to credentialed law enforcement officers only. [More]Why? Unless it involves state bans, there's no law requiring this, and that's not the case here.
This is a problem with email ads -- people get them and you never know who's going to spot an issue that raises questions for them. In this case, a longtime WarOnGuns correspondent brought this to my attention, and I presume his concerns will not be unique among visitors here.
I've seen the company's answer, about supporting LE and giving an affordable price point to those who have to buy their own "patrol rifles." Admittedly, it's not unheard of for a company to have a special loyalty niche appeal as part of its marketing strategy.
Then, on the other hand, we have some ornery types, like me, who can think of all kinds of concerns.
I'll hold off on saying more because I also have seen the claim that "the same configuration, as well as a much wider range of options will be available to everyone once this takes off." How soon that happens and how "uncredentialed" prices compare will tell us more.

Not one word in the essay or the comments about this.

The Unkindest Cut
Just watch and follow the thread. [More]
Some people are broken and can't be fixed. The knowledge does not exist to say with the requisite degree of certainty that this monstrosity can ever be trusted without a custodian, so erring has to be on the side of the potential victim pool.

Playing TAPS over Liberty's Corpse
Here's a collection of related articles on a scary sellout by many Republicans who have been sold to us as "conservatives." In this case, it looks like what they're trying to conserve and expand on is government power and control, building a Chinese "social credit" enforcement apparatus on steroids.
This Crenshaw character is quickly emerging as the perfect Trojan Horse.

We're the Only Ones Double-Dipping Enough
Two former New York detectives will serve no prison time after pleading guilty to bribe taking and official misconduct for having sex in a police van with a young woman they arrested and released, prosecutors said Thursday. [More]And true to form, Sweetie wants YOU to pay for it.

A Tale Told by a Useful Idiot
"As of right now we don't have any crimes committed..." [More]Bugs has a natural followup question.
Talk about being full of sound and fury, and signifying nothing. But that's OK, because most only saw the headline and a bit of the hysteria intended to solidify kneejerk demand for "red flag laws."

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
The Knight Institute, which successfully sued President Donald Trump over his decision to block dozens of users on Twitter from his personal @realdonaldtrump account, argued that Ocasio-Cortez’s account “is a ‘public forum’ within the meaning of the First Amendment” guaranteeing free speech and noted that her tweets staking out political positions “have made headline news.” [More]If the medium really legally can be considered a public forum, how can they block, shadowban and demonetize accounts that present matters of public interest, including those that should be headline news but don't support the favored narrative?
Inconvenient Truths
My research has indicated that assault weapons bans have no significant effects on gun-related murders but that permissive concealed carry laws - as opposed to restrictive ones - may actually reduce gun-related murders... [More]Yet "Center for American Progress" cherry-picks his work to claim "Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Magazines Must Be Banned."

[More]It looks like there's plenty of stupid and corrupt to go around.
Questions: Why can't we know who the opportunistic whores are, and how has the Bonely One shown himself to be a danger with a gun?
