Worthless Heirs of Liberty

Ban sales of pointed kitchen knives as there is no reason for them in modern world, says Church of England [More]
Isn't that the church that was started so the psychopath king could divorce and murder his wives?

All the Moore Reasons

Demi Moore Admits She Cheated on Her First Husband the Night Before Their Wedding [More]
And keeping his name means she'll never let him forget.

So much for fidelity to her pledges (@3:55).

Or any kind of logical consistency...

None Dare Call It Treason

GOP Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Susan Collins (Maine), Mike Lee (Utah), Jerry Moran (Kansas), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Mitt Romney (Utah), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Roger Wicker (Miss.) voted to end the president's declaration.  [More]
And they don't want to block the foreign invasion because...?

'Could' Presupposes a 'Could Not' Possibility

Red-Flag Laws Could Stop Suicides [More]
Because keeping guns out of the hands of the despondent has worked so well in Japan...

Curious -- I see no attempt to separate suicide rates among the criminal "prohibited person" underclass from the general gun owner population. Ditto for "Only Ones," with their significantly higher rates. I also don't see any way to account for how many suicides are impulse decisions, meaning by the time a report was made and responded to, it would be game over, and how many documented and verifiable "saves" are we able to credit to red flags in the 17 states and District of Columbia that already have such edicts.

It's almost like Brian Barnett, with his special interest in lauding bathroom choice for HuffPo, is a gunquack with a "progressive" agenda instead of a scientist.

Noah's Snark

American gun culture is driven by a complex mix of reactionary fantasies, racism and insecurity... [More]
I thought this feature was called "Think," not "Project." I'm not quite sure what else to say-- I've never come across a lot of gun-haters, but never a supposedly grown man with a Wonder Woman bondage fetish before.

Don't these people have a truck to blow up or something?

We're the Only Ones Uncoordinated Enough

What I’ve learned from Lyft and law enforcement in the ensuing days is that there is no coordinated cooperation over potentially dangerous vehicles. [More]
Sounds like another good reason not to ride-hail.

And it's not the vehicles I'm worried about.

I Guess in a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth IS a Revolutionary Act

House Democrats Target Non-Profit Status of Anti-Illegal Immigration, Pro-Life Groups - Democrats are pushing for their political opposition to be punished under the law. [More]
Hey, it's not like that First Amendment we granted you isn't revocable or anything.

Fair Warning

“My son is not an animal,” he said of his 15-year-old son. “He’s never been in trouble. He made a mistake. [More]
A "mistake" is when you forget to carry the "2."

Your son killed a total stranger who refused to be shaken down, and violence is clearly nothing new to him or his brother. And the spitting was a nice touch. He may not be an animal, but his own actions show he can't be trusted outside of a cage and needs to stay in one until he can be. They both do.

This should also once more illustrate the lethal threat an "unarmed" man can pose. But I don't suppose this being "shall not issue" Maryland with Fairground gate bag searches by security that being able to protect yourself from feral assailants is much of a concern -- at least to those in power.

I'm curious why the article doesn't explore if the disenfranchised voters shared a commonality...

We're the Only Ones Run Down Enough

Fremont police Tesla runs low on juice during high-speed chase - ‘I am down to six miles of battery,’ officer said during highway pursuit [More]
And $20K more for a used Tesla than a new Explorer? Good thing it's not their money!

Now think if it had been his "smart gun" that wasn't charged -- oh wait, the plan is to only require those for the rest of us...

Weasel-Wording 101

Overly aggressive gun control laws tend to penalize lawful gun owners and law-abiding citizens, not the criminals set on using those guns with ill intention. [More]
Way to dim a bright line with a subjective qualifier.

Why?

A Half-Baked Legal Strategy

“Defendants’ sole motive in seeking to unseal the [Facebook records of non-party Allyn D. Gibson] is to continue the smear on Plaintiffs’ name and brand. They should not be permitted to do so.” [More]
Cornered "progressives" sure fight like the rats they are.

A Gannett Publication

Always have it on record that you do not consent to a search and that you will not say anything without counsel. It also doesn't hurt to make your first move on being pulled over to set your phone to record and upload.

Pelosi: Trump betrayed oath [More]
That's almost funny.

Of course he has, but who of them hasn't? Dem string-pullers had to do something to sideline the disastrous Joe Biden.
