Not that we expected anything different from the giant ducey.

Honor the Request

Walmart ends all handgun ammunition sales and asks customers not to carry guns into stores ... [More]

Don't worry, I won't.

That's actually a misleading headline, though. It's open carry being discouraged ("asked") and they're also discontinuing "ammunition commonly used in assault-style weapons." They also won't sell handguns in Alaska.

Concealed carry is still being "allowed," since there's no practical way to enforce it without TSA rules. That and the Fudds will still be able to get deals during wabbit season for their shotguns, and sniper assassins will still be able to feed their powerful, scoped "deer" rifles...

Break with Extradition?

That Hapgood chose to return even once to Anguilla after his experience there — let alone multiple times for various legal proceedings — defies logic. [More]

Does he have a choice?

A Token 'Republican'

MSNBC 'Republican': Play 'Dirty Pool' with NRA Board Members, 'Go After Their Businesses' ... the only way to get congressmen to come around on gun control will be when a "critical mass" has been personally affected by mass shootings. She noted that, so far, "we have seen [only] one congressman get there." [More]

This evil fool had better hope we never reach critical mass.

The Scourge of Kristol Meth

[More]

Now everyone settle down and let's approach this in the spirit of compromise. If "endowed by our Creator" bothers you, there's a secular "inherent to the condition of being human" alternative you can use. And as for an AR-15, yeah, a fair reading would say that's a bit limited for intended purposes and a minimum of "in common use at the time" M4s should be encouraged, at least until upgrades in capability are available.

We're the Only Ones Approximate Enough

The vehicle he’d shot into was not a gray Colorado, but a white Silverado. [More]

Eh? An avocado...?

At least it wasn't delivering newspapers.

The Things People Believe

"If performed properly, it would have prevented Dylann Roof from purchasing the gun he used to kill these very innocent people in a church.” [More]

What about a different gun?

Tell me this isn't all symptomatic of the clusterf***ocracy we're living under.

About Those 'Universal Background Checks'

E-Verify is intended to detect workers without legal status. How do immigrants get around it? [More]

Who thinks NICS is invulnerable?

Not that a workaround is really needed...

Poster Boy for Red Flags

West Texas gunman 'was on a long spiral of going down' [More]

Ah, see? If we'd only had ERPOs!

Except the "failed background check" kind of takes the wind out of those sails.

Still, the requisite "AR-style rifle" helps. And leave it to MSN to assure us the semi-auto "sprayed bullets."

Funny-- you'd think by now "we'd" know something about his politics. I can't help but feel someone "in authority" does.

We're the Only Ones Heroic Enough

 "I still think they're heroes," Acevedo said after Goines and Bryant were charged. While those two officers may be bad apples, Acevedo said, their colleagues "acted in good faith" and appropriately used deadly force to defend themselves. [More]

What...?

Speaking of Mindless

"The idea that we don’t have elimination of assault type weapons, magazines that can hold multiple bullets in them, it's absolutely mindless," he continued, saying such a ban would not violate the Second Amendment. [More]

And not one person said "You're an idiot"?

How Do You Say 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws' in Spanish?

Organized crime-related homicides soared 77% in August - It was the third consecutive month with more than 2,000 such murders [More]

Damned lax American gun laws...

Media Exploiting Odessa Shooting Before Facts Known

The killers are NEVER believers in the Constitution because that ideology requires the commitment to champion the rights of the individual. Randomly executing strangers with no delegated authority and without due process is a rejection of all of that, and the work of a bloody-handed collectivist. [More]

The killers have one thing in common: They're all collectivists, regardless of what the say they espouse. FYI, I wrote and submitted this on Sunday morning, before anything more was known.

To Put It Briefly...
