How to Enrage a Predatory Drug-Fueled Male with Twice Your Upper Body Strength

TigerLady... [More]
Have I got a BOGO offer for them!

I wonder if there are places where these are illegal. And why aren't background checks and safe storage required?

Then again, you could just vomit...

New York’s Red Flag Law Could be Ironic Factor in Attacking Donald Trump


Trump may be, as the line from Hamlet goes, “hoist with his own petard.”Because “thanks” to “gun control,” his enemies may have all the ammunition they need to deal a severe, if not a crippling, blow to his presidency. [More]
It’s not like any burden of proof is on them.  “Due process later,” remember?

False Sense of Sécurité

Mickaël Harpon, who stabbed three police officers and a woman civil servant to death before he was killed at Paris police headquarters on October 3rd, was a radical Islamist with a top secret security clearance and access to all computers in the police prefecture’s directorate of intelligence, known as the DRPP. [More]

Lipstick on a Pig

President Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday that requires agencies to seek public input before issuing regulations... [More]
Fat lot of good that did.

How about requiring agencies to prove compliance with founding intent on delegated powers?

A 'Progressive' Tax

...this Article argues that enough is known about the history of gun and ammunition taxes, the differences between the First and Second Amendments, and the decade of post-Heller lower-court jurisprudence to conclude that most proposed gun-violence-prevention taxes are constitutional. [More]
It depends upon what the meaning of the word "infringed" is.

I guess the Democrats know their low-income constituents better than I do, and can count on their continued votes no matter how unaffordable they make self-defense in neighborhoods with heightened need.

Pretty "progressive," eh?

And forget that the ones causing the problems won't be paying taxes.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

In all of this, there seems to be a suggestion that journalists should take a different approach to covering Muslims than that employed towards other faith groups. [More]
Maybe they've seen what happens when the media doesn't defer, and figure if appeasement was good enough for Chamberlain...

We're the Only Ones Cutting to the Chase Enough

“Self-help” doesn’t sound like all that bad a thing—after all, God helps those who help themselves, right?—except that in this instance “self-help” took the form of Mr. Robinson arming himself with a handgun, getting in his car, and searching around the neighborhood for the pranksters. Further, once he found the pranksters in their own vehicle, Robinson exited his car, pulled out his gun, and ordered two of the five teens out of the car. [More]
If they end up treating him the way they would you or me, alarm bells will be ringing in his future.

Balance of Power

PG&E: Massive power shut-off to hit 800,000 customers, could extend nearly a week [More]
Good thing the government has made sure all the good people have guns and training, as is its duty, just in case, right?

Borderline Tegridy

China Plans to Restrict Visas for U.S. Visitors With 'Anti-China' Links [More]
Being discriminating about who they admit and excluding those with incompatible goals is any people's right. If we did it, our domestic commies would call us racists and xenophobes.

That said, this episode was brilliant. I do wonder where Randy got the garrote to do in Pooh...

Back Door Man

“It was nonconsensual in the sense that I was too drunk to consent,” she says. “It was nonconsensual in that I said, multiple times, that I didn’t want to have anal sex.” [More]
So it wasn't what Whoopie calls "rape-rape"?

The kind Matt Lauer doesn't want sober women to be able to defend themselves against?

The one guy who disagrees because he knows where the money comes from is out-voted by a college "student" and an alien of undetermined legality.
