BOHICA

The Department of Justice has sent a package of legislative proposals on gun violence to the White House, a person familiar with the matter told Fox News, as the debate rages over how lawmakers and the president should respond to a recent spate of deadly mass shootings. *
Nope, no favor at all...

Applying for Club Acceptance

Fouts v Becerra Baton Second Amendment Complaint Filed [More]
The expansion of "legally"-recognized "arms" categories continues from the same fine folks advancing the rights of stun gun and butterfly knife owners.

Follow Whose Money?

“Follow the damn money,” Democratic Party of Virginia spokesman Jake Rubenstein said in a written statement. “The NRA is paying Virginia Republicans to block common sense safety measures.” [More]
Funny. As incensed as he is about NRA's thousands, Jake is fine with Bloomberg's millions...

I wonder if Jorge will get any, and from whom...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Spontaneous and Grassroots' Is

Launched in late June 2019, Never Again Action claims to be a large grassroots network that spontaneously arose in response to perceived parallels between the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border and the Nazi Holocaust against the Jewish people. Indeed, the phrase “Never Again” has its origin and most common usage in preventing another Holocaust. [More]
I thought the fences then were to keep people in...

Or could it be these traitors to their country and their people are quite aware of that?

And of this...?

On This We Can Agree

California Passes Law Allowing Citizens to Refuse to Help Police Officers [More]
Good.

I see many law-and-order types having apoplexy over this, and at the risk of being condemned as a contrarian (or worse), they are not thinking this through.

Haven't we seen enough evidence to stop buying into the special "Only Ones" privileges and immunities lie?

I will decide who I will help, and when and under what circumstances. Perhaps I saw the lead-up to confrontation and believe it was started with inappropriate aggressiveness. Perhaps I will exercise my right to not be complicit in enforcing an edict I disagree with (like arresting an "I will not comply" patriot.) Think of it as pre-jury nullification. Perhaps in order to help, I will have to reveal my own noncompliance with a diktat (like maybe having a defense weapon on my person in "May Not Issue" CA.)

Perhaps if you want my help, you ought to act like you deserve it.

Perhaps I don't choose to offer anyone an explanation beyond BFYTW.

We're the Only Ones Disinterested Enough

UPDATE: Odessa Shooter Had been “Calling FBI and Police FOR YEARS” Leaving Incoherent Messages Before Mass Shooting [More]
I'm more interested in what they know about him now that we haven't been told, particularly his sympathies. That allows discreditable specific rumors to spread, which in turn discourages generally exploring further in that direction.

Supermarket Sweep

Kroger Bans Open Carry, Asks Congress to Pass More Gun Control [More]
I'd say "respectfully asking" is a bit different than "bans" if it doesn't come attached with a call to the "Only Ones." It's the "urging Congress to pass more gun control" part that bothers me.

Aid and Comfort

Thanks to Lois Beckett, Alex Yablon, and especially Massad Ayoob for their help researching and fact-checking this piece.  [More]
Beckett and Yablon, especially, I can understand.

I'm still trying to figure out why someone from "our side" would want to help Vox when he's got to know they will use it to attack RKBA. It is an interesting admission on where they have to go and who they have to ask to keep from making fools of themselves, but I still gotta ask what happened to "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"?

I never understood "fact-checking" proposed infringements, either. I'd want them vulnerable to challenge, rather than helping the oppressor make them bulletproof.  Case in point, thank goodness no one helpfully pointed out the fatal flaw in Nevada's Question 1.

Excuse me, but you won't shoot me that way, with the safety on.

"Oh, you're right. Thanks."

'Taking Advantage'?

“Thousands and thousands” of large-capacity magazines are stored currently at GunSitters in Whippany, where gun owners have handed over their large-capacity magazines, taking advantage of the storage option as litigation plays out, Rebels said. Some have turned over more than 100 magazines, which are held in a 3,000-square-foot steel vault. [More]

A Matter of Priorities

The University of South Carolina doesn't offer a course centered on founding U.S. documents, such as the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Federalist Papers because it says that would be too financially stringent. Meanwhile, the university invites students to take a class on the art of tailgating. [More]
I thought it was because they encouraged rear-ending until I saw it's a cooking course.
