Larger Point Being Intentionally Missed in Ginned-Up Kentucky Gun Rally Hysteria


What this does more than anything is expose a larger point, the evil fallacy of “gun-free zones.” After all, if Americans can't be trusted in the Capitol, or a campus, store, church or school while armed, we can't be trusted with firearms anywhere. Right? [More]
Sometimes, revealing just who they’re trying to disarm by fraud and force is not only appropriate, it’s overdue.

" 'They come for revenge', added activist Luis Garcia Villagran, who said that many of those deported in the first caravan of 2020 return to the border with every intention of confronting the National Guard... " [More]
Then I guess the Guard will be justified to adjust their rules of engagement accordingly.

Déjà Vu All Over Again

Officers said the person who died in the shooting is a 51-year-old woman from Colombia. [More]
Weird. I just got done posting a story where this one has three things in common:

Laws were broken.

Rules were broken.

And those reporting were being coy with perp identifying details.

Four things, actually:

Against the Rules, Eh?

Three people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting in an apartment rented on Airbnb in Toronto, police said Saturday. [More]
Toronto?

Airbnb?

I wonder why AFP is being so coy about identifying all the players...

I hate to disappoint but Shakira’s tongue expression is called zaghrouta, a way to express joy in Arab culture. [More]
Not quite.

What do you suppose anyone who "expresses joy" that way would do about the way this overprivileged bint is dressed?

Hell Hath No Fury

Or say a woman is married to a police officer. She files for divorce, claiming that he had abused her, and then finds evidence that the husband had gotten his coworkers not to investigate the abuse. She can't then write to the police chief or the mayor to complain, since that too would presumably involve "disparaging remarks" said to the husband's employer. Indeed, she might be violating the law simply by filing a complaint with the police about her husband's supposed abuse. [More]
It wouldn't be fair to make this an "Only Ones" post since technically the law could apply to anyone. That said, divorcing couple say all kinds of sh!+ about each other to gain an advantage or to hurt, and an "at-will" employer may just not want the added turmoil.

I'm not trying to make excuses for this, but I'm wondering how many who have been libeled or slandered have the wherewithal to get justice, or at least stop the damage from a vengeful ex.

Of course, Bloomberg has every right to spend his money to spread his views and advocate his anti-gun message. [More]
I question that-- not if others have been rejected, and not if he's going to get candidate ad rates as opposed to what a gun PAC would be charged.

So Much for the Ballot Box...

From Dave Licht via email:
Have you heard about or seen the california primary ballot? It’s AMAZING!!!! Absolutely Zero reason for a conservative to vote. They orchestrated a completely rigged game. Constitution is DEAD in crapifornia
Take your pick.

And we may not "owe" it all to The Great Communicator, but he sure owns his portion.

And here are the current Numbers USA grades for the surviving handful of Republican House incumbents:


Only Tom McClintock is a champion. As I expected he would be.

How much more evidence do we need to see?

Not the Bloodbath They Were Hoping For

Fully Armed Rally-Goers Enter Kentucky’s Capitol Building With Zero Resistance [More
That would have only been appropriate had they been doing something violent.  It's not like gun owners are "MTA fare protesters" or anything.

It's almost like the DSM is hysterically publicizing this hoping it will attract  some crazy -- who will invariably prove to be one of theirs -- to go in and prove them right.

What this does more than anything is expose the evil fallacy of "gun-free zones"-- if Americans can't be trusted in the Capitol, or a campus, store, church or school armed, they can't be trusted armed anywhere -- which is exactly what the disarmament zealots want.

Liberalism is about using taxpayer money to subsidize irresponsible behavior, and then blaming the predicably [sic] bad consequences on scapegoats: The “rich,” the “racists,” the Republicans. [More]
I'd have said it's about being a useful idiot until it's time to be deemed a useless eater and sent to the lime pit.

And There Was War in Heaven

A top National Rifle Association official has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the nonprofit group’s lawyer, according to a recent court filing, in a sign of ongoing turmoil surrounding the nation’s largest gun group. [More]
I can't help but wonder if that has anything to do with this, which I received information from a credible source on, but had no ability to confirm...

I'm not sure it is because different allegations are involved here and I was told a different exec was involved.  The problem with being a one-man band with extremely limited investigative resources is that sometimes you just gotta wait for somebody else who's better positioned to get the scoop.

So he did something right by accident?

Tangentially related, curious how Barney Google demands answers from others under threat of prosecution and ruin, but when he's got some 'splanin' to do, feigns being indignant to mask his guilt.  The presumption that he can "dignify" anything is laughable-- this freak is scum.

And since when have we stated calling apparatchiks "whistleblowers"?
