Ask a Stupid Question

It’s funny that the party making so much noise about equality is adamantly opposed to equalizers. How is a woman to defend herself from a guy coming at her with a sledgehammer if not by exercising her Second Amendment rights? [More]
With her bodyguards, of course.

It's a Big Club and You're In It

I'm proposing that we campaign to reduce gun violence, and to meet our constitutional duty, by requiring that every member of the militia — which, of course,  we'll redefine to eliminate the obvious sexism and make it all adults — must own at least one long gun, one handgun, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition for each, or pay an annual $1,000 tax for failing to do so. [More]
Well, the Founders did put in a militia duty exemption for those "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms"...

I do have to wrestle with the coercive nature of that and wonder if things couldn't be worked out more along the lines of if you don't help, you don't get helped.

Flintstones, Meet the Flintstones

If you want to use gun control to stop shootings, you need to reduce the nation to a sparsely populated Stone Age society. [More]
Commonsense club safety laws, anyone...?

Guns Politics and Freedom Episode 52



Paul Valone and I talk about "Why Universal Background Checks = Universal Gun Registration."

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Specifically, the brief asserts that…, wait for it…, wait for it…, this is a quote…: “The Supreme Court is not well.  And the people know it.  Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.’” [More]
Nice court you got here. Shame if something ... happened to it.

Gunkapo Bob


Bob Mokos is a passionate gun owner who on the surface would seem like a card-carrying National Rifle Association member...But Mokos has grown so disillusioned with the NRA over the years that he has joined forces with a rival organization - the gun control group founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. [More]
Oh, bull. If liking guns was the criterion, we'd have no better pal than Lon Horiuchi.

This useful idiot was never "one of us," not ideologically. He's a Lord Haw-haw, a Tokyo Rose, an Axis Sally, except he's more absurd than those, making him more like a Howard W. Campbell, Jr. He's an exploitable face for well-financed Astro-Turfers, whose purpose is to divide and conquer by redefining forbidden infringements as "commonsense" and "reasonable." Where have we seen that before.

If I were an FFL and he came into my store, I'd tell him to get the hell out.

We're the Fauxnly Ones Emolumental Enough

A Georgia probation officer has resigned and her friend has been arrested for borrowing that officer’s badge and gun to get free snacks at a QuikTrip. [More]
And the entitled slob has been conditioned so the first thing she does is claims discrimination.

At the Risk of Appearing Insensitive

...Domonique Hughley, 33, grew angry because the mother of his children... [More]
Plural? It's taken her this long to learn?

Might her choices have more to do with her lot in life than anything else?

When they say women are endangered by a gun in the home, these are the kinds of homes that skew the statistics for everyone. In this case, she lucked out.


'Doing Something'

“I have participated in gun buyback initiatives in the past, and I don’t believe this proposed plan is an effective use of the department’s resources,” McManus said. [More]
Me, I'm waiting for a gun to "go off" when they encourage someone who doesn't know the first thing about rules of gun safety to handle and transport one.

The Greater Danger

That is why I make the controversial claim that today, the "woke" hard-left is more dangerous to civil liberties than the right. To be sure there are hard right extremists who would use — and have used — violence to silence those with whom they disagree. They are indeed dangerous. But they have far less influence on our future leaders than their counterparts on the hard-left. They are not teaching our college age children and grandchildren. They are marginalized academically, politically and in the media. The opposite is true of hard-left Stalinists.  [More]
As long as the civil war stays cold, true. For now.

Not a 'Gun Criminal'

We're the Only Ones Getting Back Enough

The investigation determined that while the individual was handcuffed and compliant, Wolfe repeatedly struck him in the back. [More]
What's the problem? She had his six.

A Package Deal

"We are in the process of dealing with Democrats and Republicans, and there’s a big package of things that’s going to be put before them by a lot of different people I’ve been speaking to a lot of senators, a lot of house members, Republicans, Democrats — this really hasn’t changed anything, we’re doing a package and we’ll see how it comes about"... [More]
A YUGE package!  A terrific package!

Former Secret Service agent Jonathan Wacrow called the shooter's actions toward Alonzo "behavioral red flags"... [More]

[Via Jess]

Willfully Obtuse

Mass shootings are a call to arms for some black Americans, not a moment for gun control [More]
So how are they gonna vote? And then there's this:
While I think Kenyatta makes compelling arguments, I continue to support gun reforms like background checks and assault weapons bans. 
Ol' Kim Trent can have the evidence staring her right in the face and she still doesn't get it.

This One Will REALLY Work

Alderman Bosley holds town hall meeting to end gun violence in St. Louis [More]
Ensuring dangerous people have unfettered access to a disarmed victim pool, council resolutions and more brainwashing aren't enough?

[Via bondmen]

Finally, a Solution!

Instead of — or in addition to — more security cameras or metal detectors, how about more clinical therapists and social workers in public schools? [More]
So the problem is they haven't had their minds f****d with by enough "progressive" adults...?

Where do I sign up for the tax increase?

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Punchy Enough

Video shows Indianapolis police officer punching student outside high school [More]
To be fair, the kid did come all the way up to his chin...

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Dropping Enough

Did Wyandotte County DA’s office drop the ball in child rape case against sheriff’s deputy? [More]
The important thing is, he dropped his.

Nothing a Council Resolution and Some Wealth Redistribution Won't Fix

Is racism a public health crisis? Black men in KC have the shortest life expectancy [More]
Are those damn white nationalists doing drive-bys again?

Inmates Running the Asylum

It's the latest example of White House policy aides scrambling to come up with concrete policies or proposals to fill out ideas tossed out by the president. And it's an idea that mental health professionals say reflects outdated thinking on the treatment of mental illness. [More]
So the witch doctors think you and I should be disarmed and those who can't be trusted with a gun left free to stalk among us?

Crazy, huh?

[Via bondmen]

A Town Leader

As for how the fair president could legally kick the vendor out, I did find this:
These individuals provide 100% of the management and operation of the Chester Fair, and the maintenance and improvements of their 17-acre fairgrounds.
Anybody know if they actually own the property?

One Question

"A right delayed is a right denied," said SAF founder and executive vice president Alan M. Gottlieb. [More]

A Victim of 'Gun Violence'

Seth Aaron Ator, age 36 - Fatally shot on August 31, 2019 in Odessa, Texas. [More]
Light a candle, won't you?

I submitted a piece yesterday to AmmoLand before his name was known. I see it did not publish last night, so it will be even more dated when it comes out with tomorrow's posts so it will be even more dated, but funny thing: It ain't that off.
