Giving the Devil His Due

The promise of due process is little comfort when those exercising that process have no respect for the rule of law. [More]

If the edicts themselves aren't rejected, they can "due process" you right into the ditch.

Back When Reporters were Just That

George Hicks D-Day Audio [Listen]

Compare with this nutless sob sister...

Constitutionalism croaks in cowardice.

Some Day My Prints Will Come

3D Printed AR15 Autosear ($0.50 of biodegradable plastic) [More]

Comment poster "pestilence" certainly picked an appropriate handle.

I'm thinking there may be a way for Mattel to redeem themselves...

The New Alchemy

In 1994, public pressure led the Clinton administration to designate the Striker-12 along with the Cobray Streetsweeper and USAS-12 shotguns as Destructive Devices under the 1934 National Firearms Act. [More]

You no longer need to transmute elements. You just need to have the power to decree it.

Cool "machinegun," huh?

And get a load of this.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Harassment' Is

[T]he DHA would prohibit people convicted of certain “violent” hate crime misdemeanors from possessing a weapon... “Most commonly this category includes low-level assault, threats, harassment, and property damage.” [More]

Close the "truth loophole"!

If it saves one totalitarian...

Another Avenue of Attack

Chuck Schumer Wants IRS To Investigate NRA, Consider Stripping Tax-Exempt Status [More]

Of course he does. He wants more than that, and he'll use any weapon he can get his hands on.

And Fairfax making it easy for him doesn't help.

Once is Happenstance, Twice is Coincidence

Joe Biden’s Gun-Control Plan Is a Constitutional Disaster [More]

For the second time in as many days, I find myself agreeing with David French.

Good thing he stuck in that bit about supporting "Properly drafted 'red flag' laws" or I'd start to wonder about myself.

Castro 2.0

Julián Castro: 'The Myth Of a Good Guy With a Gun Has Been Totally Shattered' [More]

So that's how valid statistical extrapolation works!

"¿Armas para que?" right, razaist?

Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?

"I really think it's important that gun owners are prepared," said Lesley Hollywood with Rally For Our Rights, the organizer of today's event. "Gun owners are confused about it, they are concerned about it, they don't know what to expect, they don't understand a lot of the pieces about it." [More]

Getting stabbed to death by communist maniacs is a hell of a way to wake up.

It Doesn't Match the Hype

For the second consecutive year, the estimated number of violent crimes in the nation decreased when compared with the previous year’s statistics, according to FBI figures released today. [More]

Why do they "caution" against breaking it down by Democrat-controlled areas?

So rifles of all kinds, with no "assault weapon" subset, are less of a threat than feet and fists?  And the largest total is in California?

A Silver Lining

The American Empire—with its endless wars waged by U.S. military servicepeople who have been reduced to little more than guns for hire: outsourced, stretched too thin, and deployed to far-flung places to police the globe—is approaching a breaking point. [More]

On the plus side, that should put a dent in the gun-grabbers' "You can't fight the government" argument.

Offhand, I Can Think of Three More

5 Unanswered Questions That Remain 2 Years After The Vegas Shooting [More]

How come no one with the resources to do it properly is following up on allegations of a Saudi-tie-in?

Has there been any unreported pressure on officials by Vegas money interests to suppress a terror tie-in?

Why do we still have no official firearm inspection reports that the weapons with bump stocks attached were the ones used?

I can't help but remind myself that scapegoating is one of the most effective ways to take attention away from reality.

Modus Operandi

It was held at the Multi Lakes Conservation Association and organizers were not transparent as to what the town hall would be about when it was booked at the club.  [More]

In other words, they did what they always do. They lied.

And screamed like the bitches they are.

Status Symbols

It’s all beyond parody, but the most astonishing entries in the ADL’s kooky cookbook of code symbols are anti-antifa emblems. [More]

Look for the hammer and sickle to receive protected status. And for the penalties to get ultimate.

Consider the source.

A Voice of Authority

Chelsea Clinton: Trump’s ‘Whole Life Has Been a Scam’ [More]

Now that's some industrial-strength irony right there.
