So Purple Ink on Fingers Wasn't the Answer?

Overnight it’s being reported that Iran is now sending tanks into Iraq to stop protests from Iraqis against the Iran regime. [More]

I'm wondering which one of my son's lives would be worth sacrificing to stop it.

I'll have to get back to you on that.

Besides, think of the refugee opportunities -- I was just thinking the other day how virtuous I could feel seeing more burqas at Sam's Club.

The Virginia National Guard Will Not Turn Their Rifles Against the People [More]

But what will it take to get them to turn them against the peoples' oppressors?

On a side note, I've been seeing the Kent State meme cropping up all over social media.

News Flash: Tyrants Hate Defiance!

Where Are Virginia’s Top Elected Officials on the “Gun Sanctuary” Movement? [More] 

There's nothing unexpected to comment on until we get to "A+ rated" Rob Wittman who tweets "NO law-abiding American should be denied their constitutional rights without reason or due process" and doesn't seem to grasp that's exactly what those mandatory "background check" prior restraints he would impose under force of arms do. And what's the "reason"?

Sounds like a weasel-worder trying to latch onto a political upwind to me...

The double-standard was predictable. Any questions about what would have happened had the boy lashed back verbally with verboten words?

A Good First Step

While the requirement to apply and pay for a firearms permit may seem burdensome to gun owners in many states, Act No. 168 is an enormous step toward respecting Second Amendment rights in Puerto Rico. [More]

It will be interesting to look at results in a couple years.

A New Class of 'Only Ones'

Nothing 'Sudden' About It

According to all definitions I can find, a coup is a sudden, often violent overthrow of a government. [More]

That said, his "most powerful military force in the history of mankind" dismissal shows he hasn't thought things completely through.

We're the Only Ones Illusive Enough

The methods used to train officers with their firearms “create the illusion of learning” but are inadequate for the demands of today’s policing [More]

When you get right down to it, everything about the "Only Ones" is an illusion, as every major urban disruption has shown.

Crocodile Tears

As a career law enforcement officer, we are not calling Acevedo’s grief and sadness over the death of 10 people at Santa Fe High School and Sgt. Brewster into question.  [More]

Then I will.  These gun-grabbing bastards have opportunistic blood-dancing refined to an ... uh... Art.

Any "Only One" who wants to disarm his countrymen is a contemptible, genocide-enabling domestic enemy and liar, and I put no despicable act of force, fraud, or perversion beyond him. It's tyrant enablers and wannabes like Acevedo who will be responsible for enough blood to swim and drown in if they mandate to men who would be free no other options but surrender or die.

A 'Grassroots' Organization

A gun safety group seeking a change of state law in Ohio to require background checks on virtually all guns sales said Friday that it now plans a 2021 ballot issue. Ohioans for Gun Safety was cleared in July to begin collecting signatures ... [More]

How were they cleared? Who are these guys?

They claim to be "a grassroots organization."

Pretty slick website. Why register by proxy?

And how are these "grassroots" activists going to get all those signatures if, after years, they only have about 6,000 Facebook followers and 260 Twitter followers? Cyber-pals ain't exactly boots on the ground.

They're registered with the state of Ohio through an agent who also represents other lefty groups.

But at this point, neither 990 Finder nor  Guidestar has any nonprofit tax filings to share, although the first search hit on the latter is for "Everytown."

I looked into these people two years ago, and they were just as shadowy then. And some years before that I warned about a centrally-directed and financed Bloomberg plot to quietly establish such "grassroots organizations" throughout the land.

Looks and feels like Astroturf to me. Now the question is will anyone use this information to let Ohioans know they are being used by out-of-state moneyed interests hiding who they are from them and who want to swindle them out of their rights?

Cognitive Dissonance: It's the Law

The Second item that they can check states that the person in question lacks mental capacity adequately to contract ... The form also requires that a “mental health professional” signs off that the person in question “has adequate mental capacity voluntarily to execute this document.” [More]

So I'm incompetent to execute a permanently binding contract and to prove it I have been certified competent?

I'm going to need Norman to help me understand this one:

A Lesson to be Learned

If Drudge thought he was going to gain new readers by pivoting to the Left while dissing Conservatives he got what he wanted — except his loyal readers are the ones who left. In droves. [More]

There are other options... 

I've also pretty much had it with Faux News.

"Moderate" Republicans take note. If I want a Democrat I'll go to a Democrat, not some gutless and/or idiotic weasel who thinks trying to give a little something to everybody is the way to go.

And not some outright domestic enemies with an "R" after their names.

That's What Happens When Environmentalcases Improvise

Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg has apologized for saying politicians should be put "against the wall" during a speech. [More]

But she didn't mean it that way. Kind'a like Snuffy. (By the way, did Calypso Louie's security team have guns?)

Unless the UN finds wealth transfer opponents guilty of postericide, of course, in which case, "justice" must be done.

And triggering articles by patriarchal haters like this demand justice!

Life imitates art.

Up against the wall, motherf***er: Opposite Day "progressive" environmentalism in action. I wonder how many of those lunatic commies have ended up in corporate mass-produced disposable diapers.

We're the Only Ones Barricaded Enough

Two children and a woman who allegedly shot and injured a man, who's believed to be her husband, were found dead inside an Ontario home after a standoff with police, officials said Saturday. The woman, a San Bernardino County probation officer, had barricaded herself inside the residence after officers responded to the scene...[More] 

I smell a policy violation...

At least now that he's out on bond and she's been disarmed, there won't be any fireworks at their reunion -- at least from her.
