Did Someone Say 'Fascist'?


[More]
Let's ask someone who's actually finished college:

Modern Italian gun control laws date from the Fascist period; the Public Safety Act was passed in 1931 as one of a series of measures designed to put an end to leftist violence. Addressing the Italian Senate Benito Mussolini explained: "The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements. ... They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results."


I'm starting to think he might really be one of ours...

Avoiding the issue

Bottom line, David: Taking a strong anti-immigrant stand is the surest long-term way to lose our rights. [More]
I notice he completely ignored the challenge and instead presented unqualified opinions rather than sourced facts.

I wonder why that's all anyone has been able to do...

The Enemy Within


However, I do think there are some steps we can take that may save some lives. For example, I do not think people under 21 should be allowed to purchase a weapon of any sort. [More]

Well, then you're a goddam fraud who deserves to be repelled just as assuredly as any communist.

Your Tax Dollars at Work


Michigan State University launched a new website for “undocumented students, refugees, and recipients of...DACA,” with a goal to "reduce apprehension." [More]

Michigan State? Funded by whom?

And this differs from a "bullet fee" how...?

I'd think there'd be federal funding implications here that could be called into play if someone really wanted to...

Preemptive Strike

It's Your Own Damn Fault, Anyway


This bill not only forces you to lock up your self defense firearms, it punishes you even if you DO lock up firearms. While it penalizes gun owners if their firearms are stolen, it does nothing to penalize gun thieves. [More]
Well, if you didn't own guns, this wouldn't be a problem, now, would it?

A Method to His Madness


Simply put, the billionaire mayor gets a lot more for his money as a candidate than he ever could as a donor or even as the operator of a super PAC...Then, there’s something campaigns have that no PAC has — and that’s access to the best rates the market has to offer. [More]
So basically commit "legal" campaign finance fraud...?

We're the Only Ones Rifled Enough


The officer came out in the morning and found the back window had been smashed in an Explorer SUV. He looked in the vehicle, found a lot of stuff was missing, including a patrol rifle and shotgun,” the chief said. [More]

"Patrol rifle"?

So it didn't become a "weapon of war" suitable only for killing as many people as possible until after the "Only One" left it inadequately secured?

I don't see how any of us who have never had occasion to shoot a bound and confined man are in any position to second-guess him.

China Syndrome

Acclaimed Harvard chemist and nanoscientist, Dr. Charles Lieber, had served as a “strategic scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology for the past nine years and is accused of lying about his role as a “contractual participant” of China’s infamous Thousand Talents Plan. Last fall, after years of intel warnings, a bipartisan Senate committee blew the whistle on TTP’s systematic recruitment of an estimated 7,000 academics who have agreed to “transmit the knowledge and research they gain here to China in exchange for salaries, research funding, lab space, and other incentives.” Lieber reportedly received $50,000 a month plus living expenses and more than $1.5 million for a Chinese research lab, all while soaking up $15 million in federal grants from the National Institutes of Health and Defense Department. [More]
Meh. Small change.

Americans in Name Only


Three senators – Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitt Romney of Utah – are rumored to be willing for witnesses to be called in the impeachment trial now underway in the Senate. [More]

This is just a stop along the way to where "lesser of two evils" voting will ultimately take us. Had examples been made of betrayers 30 years ago, and then consistently applied, the lesson would have been learned by the GOP.

I just got a solicitation from the Republicans asking for money-- which they will distribute based on considerations very different from my priorities. If you do donate, do it for individual candidates who have earned it-- giving it to the party means unavoidably giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

A-yup.

Not to worry-- Mary Sanchez, an "Authorized Journalists" with real reach, tells us the "documentarian, also questionable ... is pimping a new book and a movie..."

Hey, why come up with documented facts when you can just smear and get paid for it?

A Matter of Priorities


Six suspected drug dealers who are accused of running a $7 million fentanyl distribution operation out of a Bronx apartment were released without bail under the state’s new criminal justice law early Wednesday. [More]
And they had passports! Rigorous!

 But let NY enforcers catch you with a gun...

Tangentially-related update via Mack H:

An alleged criminal is on the run after a New York judge ignored the state’s controversial bail reform law by placing a bond on an offender, only to be overruled by a higher-level judge.

Even more offensive is the audience that agrees with  Constitutional dopes who presume to teach but don't have the prerequisite qualifications to even be in the classroom.

That doesn't mean an "average person" can't disagree with Dershowitz. I have before. But I've been able to cite some pretty impressive sources.

Damn, How'd This One Slip Through?


As David Codrea wrote at Ammoland... [More]

I missed this when it came out a few years ago. I thought I was persona non grata there.

I hope the editor didn't get in trouble.

I Guess That Makes Me a Liar and a Communist Democrat

Too bad the “quote” above left out that WLP was talking about gun in schools by students, gang bangers, etc. Lies, the domain of the communist democrats and the anti-gun crowd. It is a sad thing that Ammoland has such a bias against the NRA that truth is sacrificed in its continuous attacks. [More]
No, he was talking about everyone, "with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel."

And years later, when then-NRA 1st VP Sandra Froman started making noises about arming some teachers, she soon after had to issue a denial.

In 2012, Wayne LaPierre called for "armed police officers" in schools.

And funny thing-- when Asa Hutchison released a commissioned report acknowledging “Teachers should teach, but if there is personnel that has interest and is willing to go through 40 to 60 hours of [firearms] training, then schools should be willing to [arm them],” NRA's response, instead of "Hells YES!" was that they had no influence on it and "needed time to digest" the findings.


Their"School Shield" program still refers to "armed professionals."

Candidly, I haven't researched how far along NRA may have come since then and know that state affiliates like Buckeye Firearms Association are all over arming and training teachers, but this appears to be another case of our "leaders" in Fairfax being late and reluctant to the party. What I can state with certainty is they haven't called for the elimination of "gun-free zones" for "We the People," or alternatively, explained why we can be trusted on one side of a property line but all of a sudden become presumed threats on the other, so I'm assuming "Enforce existing gun laws" still applies.


Qualified NRA Director Candidates Must Acknowledge Greatest Threat



Do you agree that politicians should be held accountable in their NRA grades for immigration actions that undermine the Second Amendment? If “No,” and if falling back on the “single-issue” excuse, provide credible and testable evidence – not anecdotes and not just opinions – to show that will not happen. [More]
Some readers have asked me who I'm voting for and my answer is any candidate who goes on record and satisfactorily answers my questions. In the interests of fairness, I've even provided an unequivocal way for those who disagree with me to prove they're right and I'm wrong.
