Centers for Deplorable Control

Barack Obama - 'Donald Trump is a symptom, not a cause' [More]
I somehow missed this back when he said it, but seeing it now is as telling as it is chilling.

A symptom is a sign of a disease. A disease is something to be cured by eradicating its cause.

A Dilemma for Our Time

Mississippi police officers fatally shot a man in a wrong-door raid. The city says he had no constitutional rights because he was an undocumented immigrant. [More]
So two priorities for the totalitarian agenda -- intentionally flooding the country with illegals for political power and ruling with an iron enforcement fist -- can make a real mess when they collide?

I Got Your 'Rightful Cry' Right Here

The rightful cry of Second Amendment advocates has long been that laws should keep guns out of the hands of criminals or those who are bent on violence, and refrain from broadly punishing law-abiding Americans who do not pose a risk to themselves or others. [More]
No, that's been the cry of preemptive surrenderers like Amy Swearer. That she is being given a prominent seat at the table speaks more to manipulation by connected sellouts than anything else. I'd never even heard of her until recently-- now she's the go-to authority for congressional testimony and supposedly representing gun owner interests? Who made that call?

There are no "good" Intolerable Acts. And how would one go about narrowly "punishing law-abiding Americans who do not pose a risk"?

More to the point, what's she going to talk Republicans into surrendering next?

Anyone too dangerous to be trusted with a gun is too dangerous to be trusted without a custodian. And making that determination will require real due process.

Noting who fills her feed bag, I'm with Mr. Jinx.

About that 'Epidemic'...

[T]he Federal Bureau of Investigation’s released its Uniform Crime Report for 2018, and violent crime, including murder, declined significantly last year. [More]
What I want to know is how many were committed by "NRA terrorists."

Q&A

Someone explain...? [More]
Someone, in this case, a state rep replying to an email inquiry, did:
As an elected official and leader of the ADE, she can create internal task forces for any topic. The Legislature does not control how that agency is run, other than how it is funded. The school safety task force is not a public body with any decision-making power, but it may help the Superintendent outline what she advocates for on school safety. The fact that she already has the authority to do something like that, legislation is unnecessary and is the primary reason the bill surrounding school safety died in the House.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

KC-area teens didn’t pull the trigger but are charged with murder. Is that justice? [More]
One-size-fits-all "laws" result in ill-fitting punishments. That's no way to run a free society.

That's what we want to be, right?

And before anyone goes all "law and order" on me, consider that defying a gun edict would be deemed a "dangerous felony," and guess where they'd pin a "friendly fire" death.

Nolo BOLO

According to the police, the woman was sitting in a car with a man, when the suspected robber who has not yet been identified approached the driver's side of the car and demanded she open the door and give up her belongings. [More]
Well if he's still out there endangering the public, don't you think some identifying information might be helpful?

That’s a hell of a way to make your point that only the government should be armed. [More]
So the best way to keep the government from killing citizens is through citizen disarmament? Hey, where hasn't that worked?
