Outreach Long Overdue

The Black Guns Matter Tour, led by Hip Hop artist turned Second Amendment advocate, Maj Toure, travels across the United States educating urban communities on Second Amendment protected rights & responsibilities. The tour not only teaches basic firearms safety and conflict resolution, but also provides a forum for discussing the right to keep and bear arms and the process of becoming safe, responsible, legally armed carriers in each state. [More]
Good-- I wish it were otherwise and race was not a factor, but it is what it is. Every successful influencer knows to persuade people, being able to identify with the messenger is key. It will be instructive to see if this moves the needle in November.

On a tangential note, I notice none of the groups hiding from my challenge are publicizing a similar outreach program to mitigate it. Incidentally, I saw a GOA political questionnaire and God bless 'em, they include this question:

Interesting Case Study

Chelsea Handler is once more demonstrably full of crap, but her idiot followers will have no part of reality.  [More]

Now extrapolate that to other useful idiot celebrities spreading their hate, and the blind enthusiasm and denial of truth from their rabid followers. Lynch and guillotine mobs spring from such as these.

I thought "fan" referred to the air they move by clapping. I hadn't realized it was short for "fanatic," but then again, what is a "celebrity worshipper" if not a lunatic?

Why Johnny Can't Breed

Wisconsin’s second-largest school district so far won’t back off a policy of keeping minor students’ transgender experimentation secret from their parents despite a new lawsuit filed Tuesday. [More]
Kind'a makes you wonder who's "experimenting" with them...

The Case for Federalized Democrat Enforcers

Congress should transform the Justice Department into an independent agency, legally immunized from the president’s day-to-day control. [More]
Which section of the Constitution delegates them the authority to do that? And which authorized branch of government would "control" it?

It might help to see how ol' Cass would tie that in with all his other control freak dreams, like banning hunting, banning and taxing "conspiracy theories" (as defined by him), and creating a "second bill of rights" where they're bestowed (or withheld) by government.

A Few Words About the German Killings

MANIAC'S RAMPAGE Germany shooting – ‘Nazi terrorist’ shoots 9 dead in shisha bars and leaves note about ‘destroying certain people’ [More]
Aside from the fact that the "right" is a relative term dependent on time and place and that Nazis were socialists, let's take a look at just a few of the "common-sense gun safety laws" being demanded by national socialist Democrats that are already in place in Germany:
The regulation of guns in Germany is categorised as restrictive... In Germany, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law... In Germany, private possession of semi-automatic assault weapons is permitted only with special authorisation... In Germany, private possession of handguns (pistols and revolvers) is permitted only with special authorisation ... In Germany, only licensed gun owners may lawfully acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition... Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Germany are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example hunting, target shooting, collection and security... An applicant for a firearm licence in Germany must pass a background check which considers criminal, mental health and addiction... Where a past history, or apprehended likelihood of family violence exists, the law in Germany does not stipulate (unless reflected in a criminal record)that a gun licence should be denied or revoked... In Germany, the law requiresthat a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register...
Any questions?

Anybody still sleeping?

It's Settled Science

A Major Study That Fueled National Vape Panic Has Been Retracted [More]
So we get the Emily Litella "retraction" but no accountability for economic damage done?

Just like always?

Hey, you're not still using lead ammo, are you?

And We All Know What to Expect When the Inmates Run the Asylum

Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to make it easier for the government to force psychiatric treatment for people with mental illness and expand statewide a still-developing test program that allows officials to more easily take control over those deemed unable to care for themselves. [More]
And then we can give priority to red flag complaints...

The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Spice

Pot shop owner uses bear spray to drive away robbers [More]
Yeah, if he samples his own wares, the government established "to secure the Blessings of Liberty" won't let him have anything more potent.

The Room of Opportunity

Police said Thomas, a 300-pound man, used the “arm-bar” maneuver to take the 100-lb child down but ended up slamming the child on his head. [More]
Now that's behavioral intervention!

What have we learned?

Very Pretty. But Can They Fight?

Gun stores, firearm instructors notice number of women buying guns on the rise [More]
I wonder how many still vote Democrat.

I'd like to see firearm manufacturers take the initiative to put a political fact sheet in the box with each gun sold, along with contact information for state and national rights advocacy groups.

Know Your Enemy

PARKLAND FATHER CALLS FOR KAITLIN BENNETT TO BE STRIPPED OF HER WEAPONS AFTER SHE VOWS TO RETURN TO OHIO UNIVERSITY WITH 'ARMY OF GUN OWNERS' [More]
Yeah, and do it with armed men. And if she doesn't comply, kill her and all who stand with her who refuse to surrender, right, Fred? And the hell with how their families feel?

The Company He Keeps

Based On Tax Filings, Bill Kristol’s Been A Democrat For Years [More]
Based on who drives traffic to his website, he's a bit more "left of center" than that:

Back Off Boogaloo

An anti-government movement that advocates for a violent uprising targeting liberal political opponents and law enforcement has moved from the fringes of the internet into the mainstream and surged on social media in recent months, according to a group of researchers that tracks hate groups. [More]
So anti-tyranny is "anti-government," oppressors initiating threats and force cannot be opposed, and loving your people is hate?

Orwell had nothing on latter-day Minitruers.

Just in case the movement wants to appropriate a theme song...

He Should Know

Warren labeled Bloomberg “a billionaire who calls people fat broads and horse-faced lesbians.” [More]
And her point is...?

As Time Goes By

I occasionally listen to a great local radio station that plays classics with no commercials, and they did a recording of the song synonymous with Casablanca the other night. These lyrics struck me as problematic in our new age of enlightenment:
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
I think I just found a film for the fire.

We're the Only Ones Patrolling Enough

Loved the quotes from a LEO ignoramus who kept referring to semiautomatic rifles as "semiautomatic assault rifles". [More]
Good catch! But I don't think in this case it was made out of ignorance. The guy letting us know the state "deemed" them that was a Lewis County Chief Deputy, and they host NRA LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES DIVISION- PATROL RIFLE INSTRUCTOR training (Hey, "Back the Blue," right?).

So when we own them they're evil "assault rifles," those "weapons of war" that have no legitimate purpose but to kill as many people as possible, but when in the hands of our heroic "Only Ones," their whole purpose changes?  Maybe they can explain to us how that happens.

I'll be right back.

He will draw a wider field of opponents ready to rebel than just gun owners.
