Who Will Guard Against ‘Guardians' When Trump Admin Enforces More Gun Laws?

NSSF, NRA and supposedly “pro-gun” Republicans are actually undermining one of the key tenets for refuting disarmament laws by advancing the wrongheaded premise that “good gun control,” works, and is a legitimate and effective response. So, the kind they approve of is fine, but if Gabby Giffords and Shannon Watts want it, it’s time for another “sky is falling” fundraising email? [More]

They’re encouraging everybody to not only think that “gun control” works but to think this is about “crime control,” not citizen control.

Larner has now been added to a terrorist watchlist know as Britain’s “Prevent” program after fears he could become an anti-Islam extremist, the Sun reported Monday. [More]

Well, at least they're not all haters...

We're the Only Ones Releasing Enough

ICE Catches Alleged Child Sexual Predator Repeatedly Released By Philadelphia Police [More] 

I wonder if Jim Kenney did a song and dance on those releases...?

And now it's the taxpayers' turn to get abused.

Why the surprise? He told everybody he's the...rapist.

London Bridge hero with narwhal tusk...[More]

Who's got a Latin translation for "Any narwhal tusk in a bridge fight"?

He's lucky he didn't try that here.

Baking Up a Storm

Gibson’s Bakery alleges Cleveland media collaborating with Oberlin College to unseal store clerk’s Facebook records [More]

Well if they weren't racists, those students wouldn't have shoplifted from them. Duh.

Or is holding that opinion along with lower expectations of moral conduct the truly racist and elitist one?

First They Came for the Statues

Triggered by the slave-owning past of George Washington and Robert E. Lee, a group of Washington & Lee University law students are clamoring for the option of being awarded diplomas stripped of the portraits of the university’s namesakes [More]

That didn't occur to them when they were applying to schools? It seems a bit like complaining about the meal after it's been eaten and the check has been presented.

It does make it fair to wonder how many of the whiners knew they couldn't pay going in.

That they are "law students" at this school is the most significant part of this story.

Rapid Response

Teachers and staff also reacted quickly as students hunkered down. [More] 

And the "adults" entrusted with their care did what? Soiled themselves?

The Exception to the Rule

Legal Immigrant Launches Recall Petition Against Gavin Newsom [More]

Yes, 70% Democrat presupposes 30% are not.

My consistent position has been that all delegated government actions must advance the purposes and scope of the preamble. If allowing this or that individual in is determined to do that, welcome.

Why else would I laud this guy?

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "rigorous" is.

And Dr. Veltmeyer sounds more American than 90+% of "native Californians."

The Keystone Issue

Abortion, tax policy, deregulation, gun rights, judicial activism … all are critical to maintaining the United States as the type of place where the most people can have the highest quality of life. But if we allow Democrats to succeed in filling our country with people predisposed to vote for big government, over time and election cycles it simply won’t be possible to win on any other issue. [More]

Bingo!

I'm still waiting for a challenger.

Single-issuers?

Saviors?

We're the Only Ones Customary Enough

A Texas Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer is accused of murdering his wife in a shooting on Thanksgiving evening, in front of their two children. [More]

Don't they give these people background checks before they hire them?

Action/Reaction

Takeaway from #LondonBridge incident: If law-abiding Londoners could carry firearms legally, it probably wouldn't have happened. Amazing how bold the terrorists are when they know their victims will be unarmed. [More]

The near-universal pile-on was predictable. The sheltered, self-proclaimed superior intellects engaging in it with short-term statistics seem oblivious to Europe being genocidal killing fields twice within the life spans of people still with us. Those who do recall apparently believe that will never be repeated.

Unless we have somehow stepped outside of history, we ain't seen nothin' yet.

Yeah, good luck protesting against the collectivist violence monopoly you're enabling.

Yeah, back Rubio's Intolerable Act.  I'm sure the grade will remain.

Republicans do this because gun owners reward them for it.
