When checking to see how my new AmmoLand article is propagating, I came to find out Dean Weingarten beat me to the punch -- significantly.
This was the genesis of my piece.

How About Walking the Talk?
Phlegm Fatale
Damn lax American gun laws...Video showed the woman had been shot in the neck ... [More]
Say, you don't think they'd ever suspect we'd dare try again...?

Bunny Gun Redux
Remember the Great "Bunny Gun" Raid?
Look how DSM stooge Matthew Theunissen characterizes the victim so that the sheep feel like the wolves are out there protecting them.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Gun' Is
At issue is whether a key piece of one of America’s most popular firearms meets the definition of a gun that prosecutors have long relied on. [More]Tell me about it.
No worries-- we'll just issue a ruling calling them "machineguns."

A Nonbeliever
"I refuse to believe that this is a right and left debate. I refuse to believe that this is a Democrat and Republican issue." [Watch]So you admit up front you're in denial yet you expect me to watch this 'til the end, and share it with everyone I know?

And the Hits Just Keep on Comin'
That's the idea.The Senate Judiciary Committee has released its latest version of legislation to render your self defense firearms worthless. [More]

Who thinks discouraging constituents they don't want to have to put up with wasn't a major motivator?

'You Ran On America First': Laura Ingraham Grills Trump Over Support For Importing H-1B Foreign Labor [More]
Best not question Ivanka and Jared lest you be cast aside and disparaged like Ann Coulter, Laura. God forbid you ask him how they'll vote.
Besides, what are inconvenient truths when we have MAGA hats and mindless chants of "USA! USA!"?

I imagine one of the principals will be posting a link to this soon. Until then, just enlarge these if you can't read them:

Turning Blue
Nothing Secedes Like Secession
Whereas, In a spirit of conciliation, the Legislature of West Virginia hereby extends an invitation to our fellow Virginians who wish to do so, to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond... [More]If not for totalitarians, it could be a win-win for everybody.

Bad Apple?
Apple Said It Is Helping In The Pensacola Shooting Investigation, But It Won’t Unlock The Shooter’s iPhones. [More]
As a matter of who I fear most, I don't want the government having a free key, either. This may sound naive to those of you who understand such things, but couldn't an Apple tech be the one to unlock the phones under chain-of-custody supervision without giving the feds any encryption overrides, and then just turn over the court-ordered data?

By Popular Demand
To create a system where every vote counts equally, the Constitution must be amended. To do this, Congress should pass legislation reducing the size of Washington, D.C., to an area encompassing only a few core federal buildings and then admit the rest of the District’s 127 neighborhoods as states. These states — which could be added with a simple congressional majority — would add enough votes in Congress to ratify four amendments: (1) a transfer of the Senate’s power to a body that represents citizens equally; (2) an expansion of the House so that all citizens are represented in equal-sized districts; (3) a replacement of the Electoral College with a popular vote; and (4) a modification of the Constitution’s amendment process that would ensure future amendments are ratified by states representing most Americans.

From well-heeled Harvard academics, eh? And how did Pol Pot treat educated elite "new people" again...?

By All Means, Treat Her as an Equal
Define 'a Lot'
“A lot of people are worried, especially the large Hasidic and Jewish community in Rockland County,” Melanson explained. “I have had rabbis come in. Some of the rabbis already have concealed carry” permits. [More]I've yet to see something from the Jewish community unequivocally condemning the schmooish community for the destructive Marxist fools that they are, and that needs to happen before I'll give a damn

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Originalist' Is
How Scalia Botched Heller and Let the Left Undermine the 2nd Amendment [More]
I've pointed that out before.
I've also repeatedly pointed out that we can expect no truly fundamental change unless there's a credible "or else" attached to a demand. And that until our major gun groups get serious about the real intent of the Second Amendment, the erosion will continue.

Much Ado about What, Exactly?
A northern Michigan radio show host is helping to organize a push in Michigan’s 83 counties to adopt resolutions affirming Second Amendment gun ownership rights, but the reach or perceived overreach of those resolutions could vary by location.[More]
So most of them will be "full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing"?
What kind of tale is that again?

We're the 'Only Ones' Agreeing to Disagree Enough
Missouri sheriffs accuse Dept. of Corrections of catch and release; state says it`s following the law [More]
They either can't catch 'em or they can't keep 'em. Meanwhile, Missouri gun-grabbers say disarming you is the solution.
O Canada
How far gone do you have to be when the "Only Ones" are the ones arguing against more "gun control"?
We're the Only Ones Red-Flagged Enough
Morris is heard on body camera footage of the incident asking Jeremy Holmes to drop a knife he’s holding 36 times within two minutes. Jeremy Holmes is heard asking police to shoot him. When Morris began to holster his weapon so that he could stun Jeremy Holmes, Jeremy Holmes charged at him. Morris, along with Fort Collins Officer Erin Mast, fired their guns. [More]
This actually works in our favor and bolsters the evidence that such orders can be initiated by the vengeful and crazy.
At least it would if they followed through and charged the mother.
Who Really Didn't See This Coming?
With GOP support, Florida Senate panel backs closing gun show loophole [More]
By making "lesser of two evils" excuses and urging everyone to heed the voice of "pragmatism," GOP backstabbers and squishes have been rewarded for betrayals instead of punished. Had some prominent examples been made just a few times decades ago, followed by repeat examples when warranted, the line would be toed if not out of principle then out of self-preservation.
Instead, the longterm was sold out for the short term and we got phony "A" grades for conmen whose actions never lived up to their pledges. Did anyone really think most Republicans actually supported us, as opposed to had to suck up to us? And once they see they don't need to, did anyone really believe such creatures would stand by us?
You don't need to lobby real leaders to do what's right. They're already out in front of it and leading the charge.
Eating Their Own. Good.
Oscar nominations trigger outraged claims of 'sexism' and 'racism'[More]
I'm wondering how long the binary"actor" and "actress" categories will hold up.
There's a 'Jerkin' the Gherkin' Joke in Here Somewhere...
Laura Gerken, daughter of Lucas County Commission Pete Gerken, was arrested Thursday night protesting outside the Huntington Center, where President Donald Trump spoke. [More]"Commissioner"? And speaking of "real reporting," I don't suppose mentioning ol' Pete is a Democrat would be relevant? Or who she learned to act that way from? And again?
You just gotta wonder about the guy who made a career of giving companies incentives to move overseas being perceived as the champion of the workers while he attacks the guy bringing jobs back in.
2A*C3
I get invites all the time but I can't join groups on social media because I only use it to publicize the articles I write. There's no other way for me to get the word out there and after a full day -- and they are full days and then some -- there is just no time left for me to engage any deeper.2A*C3 is a community investing in creating command, control, and communication in support of defending second amendment rights. [More]
That said, having spent 16 years in a past life producing directives for a defense contractor specializing in satellite navigation and communications, I fully agree with the concept being promoted, and have, on occasion, advocated using social media "for C3I purposes" instead of "trivial" ones.
A quote would be in order:
"Communications are the nervous system of the entire SAC organization, and their protection is therefore, of the greatest importance. I like to say that without communications, all I control is my desk, and that is not a very lethal weapon." Gen. T.S. Power, CINCSAC, May 1959
I encourage you to check 2A*C3 out and invite them to keep me apprised of significant developments they are working on.
Virginia Indoor Gun Range Bill Appears Especially Aimed at NRA Out of Spite
It's just another vicious stab at gun owners by a Democrat-dominated state government that holds them in contempt and now has the juice to do something about it. [More]
The question is, will "staunch support" be a two-way street when the confiscation orders are issued?
