Ohhh Poncho!


Arrest warrant issued for Texas lawmaker caught on video dropping envelope of cocaine [More]
Poncho Nevárez?

The guy "Speaker Dennis Bonnen elevated ... to chair the Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee ... currently serving on the Mass Violence Prevention & Community Safety, Select Committee"?  I don't suppose the drug trade has anything to do with that?

Looks like Poncho's doing his part to make you obey signs the cartels he enables ignore, and the DemandingMoms approve! He actually said, with a straight face, mind you, it would "mak[e] business owners' prohibition of concealed handguns in establishments much more business and customer friendly."

Hey, he probably needed the money after those campaign finance violations.

Looks like it's all Zuckerberg's fault anyway...

Would You Buy a Used Car from These Virtue Hucksters?

CarMax is also donating to Everytown for Gun Safety in support of its program Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, an organization committed to fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence. [More]
So does that mean they support suing car manufacturers and dealers over drunk driver casualties?

Rope-selling capitalists...

What's 'Job One' Again?


Oops...
I was clearing out some old magazines and ran across this bit of irony. I make my share of typos, but that had to be embarrassing. I wonder if it might be worth anything to collectors someday, like a stamp with a misprint or something.

Point/Counterpoint


One person was killed and at least four others were injured in a shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita early Thursday, authorities said. [More]
It will never be enough. And it will never "work" as advertised.

The 'Moderate' Coward's Way Out

But what if senators could vote on impeachment by secret ballot? If they didn’t have to face backlash from constituents or the media or the president himself, who knows how many Republican senators would vote to remove? [More]
Oh, there'd be backlash, alright.

Not that I'd expect an insulated swamp advisor to grok it...

Down the Hillary Hole

American Outdoor Brands has announced plans to split its firearms unit, Smith & Wesson, from its outdoor products business, citing "changes in the political climate." [More]
I trust they didn't do it from the Rose Garden this time?

By the way, I've seen discussions on removing the internal lock or plugging the hole and just want to caution that if you plan to do that, consider potential liability risks and make your decision an informed one.

To a 'T'

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” [More]
I link to informative Ammo.com articles all the time here. They just produced a shirt that sends a message more should first understand and then take to heart.

And no, I don't do tips or gratuities or get a thing for "ad" posts except for continued cordial association. I've told you what I want from the regulars here.

Tarzan vs. Batman


I remember having that argument as a kid, about who would win.

I also recall this video and thought I'd posted on it some months back, but can't find it if I did. In any case, it presents factors to contemplate.

Naturally, I'd like to kneejerk assume a "Wolverines!!!" victory. The biggest impediments to that: I see plenty of "Molon Labe!" forum bravos but not so much support for advocacy stuff while things are still easy. Of the ones among us who would ultimately step up, I have no way of gauging how many can harden their hearts and do the terrible things that must be done to win at all costs.

We're the Only Ones Added On Enough

[T]he indictments likely involve two officers mentioned in Hays' guilty plea last week. [More]
Welcome to the party, pals!

The Kobayashi Maru

Active shooter drills are traumatizing students, experts say [More]
Maybe because the "experts" have it set up as a "no-win scenario."

I'll bet if you handed out goggles and airsoft guns and appointed referees they'd not only get into it, they'd begin to understand they wouldn't need to be sacrificial lambs -- if their teachers and administrators weren't duty-shirking, "progressive" cowards.

We're the Only Ones Undetaining Enough

By refusing to honor ICE detainers, sheriffs in Mecklenburg and Buncombe Counties have put their constituents, documented and undocumented alike, in danger. [More]
Hey, for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Guillotine

These clowns will do more damage to our country with their attempt to rid it of the alleged norm-breaker Trump than Trump ever could. And when they cry out, “Help us!” as the new rules they made devour them, we will smile and whisper, “No.” [More]
They'll have to be in tumbrils before that'll happen, after their usefulness has ended.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

The objective of using the word "Islamophobia" appears to have been to make Islam untouchable by placing any criticism of it as equivalent to racism or anti-Semitism. [More]
Hey, when you find something that works...

You Never Know Who Will Win



And most of us don't need a makeshift raft to enter. [More]

Using What You've Got

Hong Kong protesters use empty swimming pool to test petrol bombs at their 'weapon factory' while others wielding medieval-style weaponry build watchtowers and catapults to fend off police [More]
Why don't they just use guns?

Oh.

Lest Ye Be Judged

Judges involved in White Castle shooting suspended without pay [More]
Kind'a makes you wonder how each of them would have ruled had you or I stood before them after a similar "incident."

The Buck Stops Where?


[More]
Yeah, he's already suggested boxing matches and demanded more infringements that will only impact you. What more do you want from the guy?

How anyone could suspect a "leadership" problem is beyond me.

Our Biodiversity is Our Strength

Superbugs On The Rise? New CDC Report Finds Threat Has Increased From Previous Report In 2013 [More]
And in a "He did it! He missed the barn!" moment, International Business Times can't seem to offer any insights into why that might be.  Ah well, with CDC hot on the trail, I'm sure the "public health issue" of the "gun epidemic" is bound to come up.

Concealed Carry Corruption Probe Won’t be Complete if Demographics are Ignored


How do the earnings and race/sex demographic rates for permit recipients compare to the general population there and in all counties throughout California? The Democrat-dominated government there makes a great noise of how “progressive” they are, but how does that work in practice for which citizens are “permitted” to bear arms? [More]
I wonder if a complete investigation would add "race/sex discrimination" to the allegations...
