...we are asking that our customers refrain from openly displaying firearms in any of our stores... [More]What if the gun owners "compromise" and bring a towel?

I don't know if I should host a contest for the best alternative definition for the acronym SAFEHOME or the first belligerent moron to ask me if I'd rather have Hillary.

And the Beat Goes On
WHEREAS, New Jersey is a national leader in identifying, developing, and enforcing gun violence prevention measures ... [More]If you guys say so.
Here's the official propganda release.
So they'll refuse to do business? If any of those manufacturers actually cared about RKBA, they'd beat 'em to the punch and refuse to arm the oppressors.
This is just more bullying harassment for headlines of those inclined to obey laws. It won't slow down the relatives of Democrat constituents one bit and Phil Murphy knows it.

Results are In
Four years after allowing universal ‘concealed carry’ law, Maine rated the safest state in the nation for crime [More]How many ignoramuses responding to loaded, Republican-spooking poll questions do you think know about this?
Why do you think that is?

Soylent Green is People!
The Swedish researcher said we must break down 'conservative' attitudes to cannibalism [More]With no true north, there can be no moral compass.
There is no road to degeneracy the "progressives" will not ultimately lead people down. That's why I maintain the degraded "culture" is only years away from accepting (and protecting) child molesters and creating a new category of "haters" to be condemned, silenced and economically exiled -- those who know it's perverted, disgusting and inexcusable.
Until then, care for some hors d'oeuvres...?

Since You 'Asked'
VCDL has been made aware of an incident at a Walmart in Kentucky where someone open carrying a handgun was approached by police and asked to sign a trespass document saying he acknowledges being banned for Walmart property anywhere in the U.S., indefinitely. [More]That's even more of a "net effect." And if they're siccing the cops on people, that's more than just a "request."
[Via Mack H]
UPDATE: I suppose the best way to find out if their highly-publicized "request" was really more than that is to publicly ask them.
Scaring the Republicans
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and members of his caucus are tiptoeing toward legislation addressing gun violence amid deep anxiety over eroding GOP support in suburbs across the country. Expanded background checks and other modest proposals to address gun violence have strong support among swing voters in the suburbs, whom McConnell sees as crucial to keeping control of Republican-held swing Senate seats. [More]That because they're not doing their jobs and explaining the right to keep and bear arms to their constituents in a way the media, including The Hill, will not. This is dealing with effects, not the cause.
All those words and not once does this explore how much the poll respondents actually understand the issues they're being asked to weigh in on.
Speaking of which, if Alexander Bolton is going to presume to be the arbiter of which Intolerable Acts are "moderate," he should change his title from"Senior Reporter" to"Senior Editorialist" and move this transparent manipulation job into the "Opinion" section.

A Blue Funk
An Iranian woman detained for dressing as a man to sneak into a soccer stadium to watch a match has died after setting herself on fire upon learning she could spend six months in prison, semi-official news outlets reported Tuesday. [More]Funny. Not a word from Linda Sarsour.
WaPo’s Desperate ‘Do Something’ Demand Inadvertently Shows Futility of ‘Gun Control’
The thing is, every one of the entries could be preceded by statements of fact to put things in perspective, such as “Victims killed in enforced ‘gun-free zones’” or “Gun laws utterly failed.” [More]When you don't have facts, wail and gnash your teeth. Spooks the herd every time...

I am Sit on You
I know what that grammar reminds me of!
Maybe you should be horse-whipped, infectious foreign parasite. And give my regards to Franky.
This brings to mind a frequent Facebook occurrence, where I'll get a "friend request" from an account that posts a picture of a babe and invites me to see "her" nude pictures. Invariably I find "she" is "friends" with someone else who sent me a friend request and checked out as being pro-2A or at least not overtly offensive.
How is it there are people that clueless who are ostensibly on "our side"?
UPDATE -- I rest my case:
Rope-Selling Capitalists
The US Chamber of Commerce sent a delegation to China this week in an attempt to undermine President Trump’s trade negotiations with the communist regime. [More]How is that not a Logan Act violation? Any chance this will turn out to be the best self-hanging since Jeffrey Epstein?

The Trayvon Hoax That Divided America Is About to Be Exposed [More]Who thinks that will break free of the echo chamber and make a damn bit of difference with a political establishment and media vested in an exploitable narrative?
As with everything "our side" does, if we want information propagated, it's up to us to take the time to share links and encourage those within our spheres of influence to do the same using whatever means at our disposal.

Absolutely
He insists that a solution includes “qualifications” to both the First and Second Amendments, which he says are not “absolute.” [More]The Second needs to be eradicated so they can eviscerate the First?

'Let's React, but Not Overreact'
Net effect on gun owners: none [More]Forgetting something...?
Finally, we encourage our nation’s leaders to move forward and strengthen background checks and to remove weapons from those who have been determined to pose an imminent danger. We do not sell military-style rifles, and we believe the reauthorization of the Assault Weapons ban should be debated to determine its effectiveness. We must also do more, as a country, to understand the root causes that lead to this type of violent behavior. Today, I’m sending letters to the White House and the Congressional leadership that call for action on these common sense measures.Net effect on gun owners: If they succeed, define "overreacting."

We're the Only Ones Retarding Enough
After the incident, an officer at the hospital noted Dulaney had some sort of mental health or cognitive problem, and communicated like a child. Carroll told his sergeant he thought that was a ruse, even saying that he's gotten into some knockout, drag-out fights with special needs kids when he worked as a school resource officer. [More]So did Kamala say "Well done"?

Next Gen
The U.S. Army is getting much closer to deploying the next generation weapon that could soon replace the M4 carbine and M249 light machine gun sometime in the early 2020s. [More]Oh look: Arms that will have “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia [or] that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.”

On Track for Another Banner Year
Baltimore’s homicide count in 2019 is higher than this time last year. There have been 227 homicides in 2019, while at this time last year there were 193. There were 309 murders in total in Baltimore in 2018. [More]I'd say the common factor is guns, but then those damned NRA members just aren't cooperating with the narrative.
Maybe we can blame "poverty"?

Digging in His Heels
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick doubled down on his support for expanded gun purchase background checks in his weekly email to supporters, calling out the National Rifle Association for refusing to compromise on gun control.

Kamala Harris laughed when someone called Trump ‘retarded,’ then she lied about it [More]Everybody knows you never go full Kamala.
Skew & A
This was a “nationwide” telephone survey of 1,003 people, supposedly randomly dialed. There is no further information on methodology. But given the questions they asked, no methodology was going to save them. [More]That Mr.Pynchon, him plenty smart fella.
Survey SAYS
The Gun Feed Poll: Will you continue to shop at Walmart? [More]Polling notwithstanding, my guess is we won't even see a blip of a dip in sales revenues or profits that are directly attributable to united gun owners swearing off the joint.
Climate Change Threatens Catastrophic Destruction
"You know what, I really believe sincerely that the climate we're in today, if the Bill of Rights the first 10 Amendments of the United States Constitution, were put before the public today, I'm not too sure we'd hold onto the Bill of Rights," Clyburn said. "Especially when I see what people are doing with the Second Amendment. No telling what they'd do with the First Amendment." [More]The gun-grabbing Democrat would know.
I'd say more, but being a Nazi fascist white nationalist, we all know that hate speech isn't free speech.
