Gun-Grabber Desperation Showing as More Americans Buy Firearms

What we’re seeing here from the Big Three gun-grab groups are signs of worry. In spite of all the years and the dollars they’ve spent spreading lies to swindle their countrymen out of their birthrights, when things start to get up close and personal, people wake up and realize they want guns. And they’re finding out those guns are not as easy to obtain as books and vegetables, that you can't just “buy a gun online,” and that the fast-talkers who made such absurd claims have been lying.

What? The "commonsense gun safety" groups have been LYING to us...? And now that more Americans are catching on, they have no idea what to do besides double down...?

And guess who they couldn't have done it without...

Perhaps one day, before it's all gone, our "lobbying leaders" will acknowledge the single greatest threat, or at least take my challenge, but my guess is if they thought they could they would have already done so.

I wonder if she needs her hair done...

Not Everything's About Prejudice

The Coronavirus is Not Killing Minorities Because of Racism [More]

It took me a minute to understand that title because it seems to imply they're getting a pass because of hate. Of course, they're not, but the reason has nothing to do with bigotry, as the article explains.

In any case, at this writing, the link to the article from the Free Republic post results in this:

And, again at this writing, writer Daniel Greenfield's page does not list it:

I have no idea why it was apparently posted and then pulled. I will say I find it disturbing that Freepers post complete articles rather than just teasers with a link. I wonder what kind of traffic that loses the author and FrontPage? It's tough enough earning a living without people who supposedly agree with you removing incentives for websites to pay you.

If by "gun safety" they mean ignorance, avoidance, and bans...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Draconian' Is

AG Barr says ‘draconian’ coronavirus restrictions should be re-evaluated [More]

I'll say.

Because people whose lives and livelihoods are being destroyed see elitist politicians getting their damn hair done and are then subjected to self-entitled bullshit justifications like "I'm out in the public eye [and] I'm a person who takes their personal hygiene very seriously," and a Mencken quote expanded by an order of magnitude comes to mind.

You want to see draconian, tell people you will give them no choice but to lose it all while stuffing your face in front of them.
