About Time We Had Some GOOD News
Hey, We Can't Be Trusting Free Men with Pez Dispensers
Dems passed “high capacity magazine” ban in Judiciary cmte last night. It would grandfather about 100 million high capacity magazines already in US circulation. If this bill passes the full House, it will do precisely one thing: stimulate sales of high capacity magazines. [More]Whatever will I tell Princess High-Cap?
Which Democrats Champion Black Rifles?
NAAGA is talking about endorsing candidates, which could make them a political force. [More]It will also tell us whether they are serious about their RKBA being the #1 priority. I've seen plenty of PR but very little on unequivocal stances. Or on backing. And that makes some of the gushing I've seen from "our side" premature.
As an aside, NRA membership may or may not be "waning," but the headline is asserted without corroboration. That some directors resigned has no bearing on their membership status. I could attribute that to sloppy journalism and the reporter not knowing any better, but the smart money is on CBS "News" lying to start a meme.
About that River in Egypt...
You know, Denial. Sure is a lot of it here. [More]
Speaking of which, I won't deny what Marion says about Ack-Mack and I've made no secret of why you won't get lasting solutions from the Saviors, disqualified for my consideration by a huge denial issue of their own...
Forget all that and focus on Wayne. I see plenty of deflection and redirection, but what I don't see is an unequivocal denial of the specific allegations.
UPDATE: Bear shares his thoughts.
A False Alternative
We don't need to force teachers to take up arms, we simply need ever-present, trained, armed security in schools. [More]The old Wayne LaPierre trick and he fell for it.
Nobody from "our side" (phony ones excluded) is talking about forcing anyone to do anything. We're saying stop forcing disarmament on people who would claim their rights.
Yes, of course we can have liberty and security. But you can't cede responsibilities for the latter without giving up pieces of the former.

Much Ado about Nothing?
When asked how users can be sure there’s no anti-conservative bias, Bickert pointed to the fact that back in April 2018 Facebook published the internal guidelines it uses to decide whether to remove posts. [More]Really? Which guideline did this violate?

The War on Minds
And anyone who recognizes it and sounds the alarm must be marginalized or worse. [More]Much worse, ultimately.
Read, watch and share.
Mystery to Me
Still, it is worth asking: What drove 2018's increase in violent crime? [More]Oh
I
don't
know...
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
Just ask the Saviors.

There's an App for That
Popular period-tracking apps were found sharing extremely sensitive data to Facebook, including when users last had sex [More]What, is there like a sensor in the thing? Can they set it to vibrate? And any chance of a joint venture?

We're the Only Ones Dissociative Enough
A former eastern Missouri police lieutenant has been sentenced to two months in prison for stealing from a law enforcement association. [More]Reminds me of a trope...

To Put Things in Perspective
As of today, close to 640,00 German citizens are legally permitted to carry a deterrent gun or similar self-defense weapon. To put things in perspective, in 2014, there were just 260,000. That’s nearly a 250 percent increase in just five years. [More]To put things further in perspective, Germany has a population of around 83 million.
And to put things in even further perspective...

Who’s Making These Horrible Decisions? [More]The guy riding the tiger and hanging on for dear life.
Certainly, no one thinks this is about what's best for the members, do they?
The Two Towers
Look at everything that led up to it and everything that's happened since. For most of our countrymen, the answer they've bought into is to cede more power to those manipulating them.
