The president's lap around the Daytona International Speedway was a victory lap for gun-toting, Bible-clinging, flag-waving patriots. [More]Well, you got two out of three.
And it's throughout NASCAR.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Victory' Is
And it's throughout NASCAR.
A Right Delayed
It was apparent that the police had the wrong man, but Carpenter was in for his biggest shock yet. The Sherriff’s office told Carpenter he had to surrender his guns. [More]And now this citizen has to wait until Aug. 27 "to start the process of getting his firearms rights back"?
And the same people behind that at the Florida Agriculture Commission also have close ties to the Ban Assault Weapons Now petition effort?
Would this be good cause to press DOJ about 18 U.S. Code § 241, Conspiracy Against Rights charges against anti-gun Nicki Fried if she does not clear this up immediately as she could if she wanted to?
We could ask...

UPDATE:
I was sent a news tip to a Gateway Pundit article dated Feb. 16. That, in turn, cited a Feb. 4 Fox 13 Tampa report as it's primary source. I prefer giving links to those who actually dig out the story, which turned out to be an AmmoLand writer and did not notice the date on his original report was from Aug. 2019.
That's a Lot of 'Common Sense' Trigger Locks!
Twitter comment in re my Batman gun symbol piece:
Honestly, I thought it was a pair of batarangs. The whatever they are have belt clips on both of them. What gun has that?He's got a point. That said, I'm commenting on what others are reporting and I've seen my reply hold true more times than I can remember:
One designed by Hollywood "artists" with more agenda than knowledge?Is this where I say "I rest my case"?
The last time I referred to the Superdickery site, coincidentally enough, involved Batman.
Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts?
When looking for something else I ran across an old WoG post from 2006 where I posited this question and I just decided to run it through the Meme Generator.
More here.
Get Woke Go Broke
The Boy Scouts of America said on Tuesday it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid a flood of lawsuits over allegations of child sexual abuse stretching back decades. [More]Quick, hide the tiny dancers!
It's been a long time coming.

First They Came for the Fudds
Once again I reiterate the taxpayers of East Lansing have to pay for the killing of the deer instead of hunters paying for the opportunity to do so. It sounds exactly like “good government” to me. [More]And if you don't need to hunt, what do you need guns for?
Besides, save your sympathy for the Only Ones unglamorous enough.

Play 'Misty' for Me
Yankees slugger Brett Gardner has reportedly asked a Bronx judge to keep a crazed fan — who calls herself the baseball player’s “future wife” — away from him and his family. [More]She counter-filed. Hey, #BelieveWomen, right?
Right?
Yes, naturally, she's a "progressive feminist" and an immigrant:
Knowing how easy it is for such "domestic terrorists" to get banned from Twitter, it's fair to ask why the feed of someone with a restraining order who cyberstalks her victim is still up.

Nothing If Not Adaptable
"I certainly have changed on that issue," he added. [More]Well, yeah. When a swindler sees his pitch is failing, he modifies it to what the rubes want to hear.
Being a communist who will ultimately demand totalitarian power, this just forced him to accelerate the schedule a bit. The lust for power and control is the only constant.

I'd Want to See a Cost/Benefit Trade-off Analysis
Kaitlin Bennett vows to return to Ohio University with an ‘army of gun owners for an open carry walk’[More]She can do it.
The question of "Should she?" may be a matter for debate, but ultimately she and her colleagues will make that decision. Some gun owners are concerned that the optics of the tactics and the potential for blowback will result in perceptional and political setbacks. The thing is, this is a new generation that sees the "old ways" have resulted in messes like Virginia. They are asserting they won't accept that-- and put themselves on the line to do it.
My only caution -- she is a dynamic personality and most of the promotional efforts seem centered on that. Since we are all flawed, I urge we set that aside and decide the proper course for what we want to achieve based on an objective analysis of the specific goals, pros, cons, and alternatives.
Make that a condition of standing with anyone on anything.

Go Ahead. Be Evil.
It has just taken the rest of us, including conservatives, longer to see the Google business model for what it actually is: an internet heist of breathtaking proportions. [More]I guess that explains why they ditched the motto.

History Repeats Itself
The Bernie bro told CBS Denver that the fight escalated when he heard the other man booing Sanders. [More]Why does the word "Brownshirt" come to mind?
At least we know how his followers will handle dissent. At least until they're in a position to handle it permanently.

Hell to Pay
He was originally held without bail; however, he was released on January 14th on his own recognizance. [More]What was their first clue to realize he could be trusted without a custodian?

We're the Only Ones Domestic Enough
Suspended Missouri sheriff arrested on misdemeanor assault charge [More]And he had previously been "suspended as Linn Creek police chief for an incident that allegedly occurred while he was off-duty but no details have been released"?
Oh, look: Crib notes.

Speaking of White, Male Extremist Threats...
The gun guy and illegal militia founder who became President: George Washington - Our first President understood that armed citizens are essential to American freedom [More]And he approved of them having "weapons of war"?
I guess that's another reason why his memory has to be smeared and then forgotten.
Militia rights, duties, and powers "being necessary to the security of a free State" is a key legal concept that has yet to be fully explored.

We're the Only Ones Red-Flagged Enough
The officer was recently placed on modified duty and had his guns taken away from him...[More]What have we learned?
About taking guns and about "Only Ones"?
Sue the Supermarkets!
Data show that about 35 percent of "added" suicides since 1999 are attributable to firearms, compared with 53 percent added suffocation deaths ... why have suicides by suffocation become so much more prevalent over the past two decades? [More]Easy access to plastic grocery bags?
Just watch those figures fall in California, New York and Hawaii!
Oh, wait...
Not what we expected...
Never mind...
It's Trump and the NRA's fault.

If You Like Your Death Panelist You Can Keep Your Death Panelist
“If You Show Up with Cancer and You’re 95 – We Should Say We Can’t Do Anything” – Bloomberg Explains How Healthcare will Bankrupt Us Unless We Deny Care to Elderly [More]What about 94? 84? I've known people much younger who were wrecks. Mike was pretty much beyond repair at 64. Another good friend burned his heart out at 53.
A local woman died a few years back at 111. She had many vital and active years ahead of her after 95 and was loved by many in the community. My own Mom is 95 and she is still alert and active, often walking up to two miles each day when the weather permits. My Dad passed at 92, and up to age 88 was still golfing his age (as compared to me golfing my weight).
The point being, arbitrary cutoff ages are as meaningless as automatically giving the vote to 16-year-olds on one hand because they'll vote for "gun control," and then denying them the right to own guns because the current "science" says their brains aren't fully developed yet.
I've always been careful (and consistent) to recommend parents provide development-appropriate gun training for their children, as opposed to age-appropriate.
Ecclesiastes 9:12 comes to mind. That this megalomaniacal usurper thinks he not only knows the time but can control it tells us all we need to know about him and the fanatics he attracts.
