A United Effort

Don Spencer, president of the Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Association, which sponsored the Constitutional Carry bill, said he’s not shocked that there’s such an “aggressive effort” to destroy gun rights in Oklahoma. [More]

Where Do You Go to File a Red Flag Report Around Here, Anyway?

Biden fantasizes about beating up Trump during 'The View' interview: Just 'he and I in a room' [More]
That he's fantasizing is a subjective opinion. Wishing he could commit an act of violence in a high school setting adds to the creepiness of it all. Rational adults don't publicly express a desire to physically assault another human being, and to do so would be a crime of violence, as the only legitimate justification would be in self-defense. After all, haven't we seen before that hitting someone with your fist can prove fatal, and isn't threatening the life of the president a federal crime with an implied terrorist threat and crossing of state lines?

It's too bizarre that he would say that. It's not normal. This sounds to me like it would result in the kind of "extreme risk" Biden pledges to "end":
Incentivize state “extreme risk” laws. Extreme risk laws, also called “red flag” laws, enable family members or law enforcement officials to temporarily remove an individual’s access to firearms when that individual is in crisis and poses a danger to themselves or others. Biden will incentivize the adoption of these laws by giving states funds to implement them. And, he’ll direct the U.S. Department of Justice to issue best practices and offer technical assistance to states interested in enacting an extreme risk law.
What does the government advise us? If you see something, say something? Aren't we constantly being told that ignoring red flags enables violence to happen?

And this is the second time in as many years? Is this an obsession? "All kidding aside"?

It's incumbent on law enforcement to make sure he was just "fantasizing," and until they can investigate and ascertain, to remove those shotguns he advises we fire through doors and off balconies, and whatever other firearms he may possess.

Tell me they wouldn't investigate you and me if we publicly and repeatedly said we wanted time alone with any president so we could beat him into submission.

Several hundred North Georgia residents gathered in Rome on Saturday to advocate for the creation of so-called “Second Amendment sanctuaries” in Georgia. [More]
To that end:

Next rally, how about "several thousand"?

About That 'Single Issue'...

"Twelve radical Democrats in Arizona have introduced shocking legislation, Senate Bill 1625, which would flagrantly violate the Bill of Rights and American civil liberties. Not only do these extremists seek to disarm citizens, leaving them without the ability to defend their families, themselves, or their property, they also directly attack Arizona jobs and the Arizona economy by seeking to unlawfully ban gun manufacturing in Arizona. [More]
If they don't get what they want now, Rep. Gosar, they'll get it later.

Thank you for being one of the few who understand why.

An Empty Case

Michael Bloomberg ... The conservative case for him: He has been a Republican in the past, and despite his excesses he did keep crime low in New York. His mayoral administration also advanced the cause of welfare reform. Like it or not, he’s probably the closest thing to an actual GOPer in the running, even if he is most definitely not a Republican of the libertarian variety. [More]
What can I say but "National Review"?

Follow the Money

The complaints against McBath are connected to money her campaign received from the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.[More]
What, you expected people using fraud and force to swindle and coerce you out of your rights to have ethics?

The question is, will she get a pass from embedded sympathizers?

Wouldn't it be ironic if this was determined to be a felony and everyone involved became "prohibited persons"?

'Nuts!'

A state representative from Birmingham filed a bill Thursday that would require Alabama men to get a vasectomy once they reach 50 years old or father three children, “whichever comes first.” The legislation by state Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-Birmingham, says that a man will have to pay for the vasectomy “at his own expense." [More]
I guess domestic violence against men wasn't enough for her.

Her lunacy has no limits:
Rep. Rolanda Hollis, D-Birmingham read from a poem “If My Vagina was a Gun”...
Let me guess: She'd grab it.

And does she understands the importance of regular cleaning...?

We need an "In Fourteen-hundred and ninety-two" parallel.

I'm just wondering how "glass ceiling" feminists feel about someone born to white male privilege essentially buying into gains won through years of their struggle, particularly as it applies to the opening of corporate doors and also to government contract "woman-owned business" provisions.
