Credit Where Due

[Photo by Oleg Volk]
Acknowledging the Earlier 'Shockwave' Developer: Len Savage, President of Historic Arms, LLC. [More]
An earlier article by another author necessitated clarifying the record of development.

I'm a bit of a stickler for such things.

And as long as I'm on the subject, I guess my request for the magazine to acknowledge Oleg in the photo credit got lost in nested emails. I've asked to have the web team make sure that gets fixed.

Your Feel-Good Story of the Evening

Doorbell Camera Captures Audio From Moment Alleged Home Intruder Was Shot in Neptune Beach [More]
I'm surprised that one idiot didn't trip on those pants.

Emergency Powers

But in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday, Attorney General Xavier Becerra said officials have broad authority to do what they think is necessary to slow the spread during the virus pandemic, even if that trumps normal fundamental freedoms. [More]
For instance, if we want to quarter troops in your home or subject you to cruel and unusual punishment, or even force you at swordpoint to convert to Islam, well, if you didn't want totalitarian government, you wouldn't have voted Democrat...

The Right of the Rulers to Enforce a Monopoly of Violence Shall Not Be Infringed

Taking the absolute phrase into proper account, the amendment ensures that states could maintain armed militias. It did not comment on an individual’s right to keep any kind of gun in any place at any time. [More]
This again.

Don't tell me-- tell Tench Coxe.

Nor does the Constitution delegate to any branch of government the power to restrict individual gun ownership. But let's play. He gets the same challenge ACLU failed to answer.

And if we're really adamant about focusing on the first thirteen words, by all means, let's get serious. For too long, our "gun rights leaders" have ignored them.

And the Low-Hanging Fruit Award Goes To...

On Wednesday, federal agents arrested 36-year-old John Michael Rathbun for allegedly attempting to blow up a nursing home he thought was Jewish. [More]
Well if that self-incriminating moron isn't enough to tar you and me as racist terrorists, I don't know what is.

Speaking of Cultural Appropriation...

Upcoming 1776 Revival to Feature Entirely Female, Nonbinary, Trans, Genderqueer Company [More]
There is nothing the cultural Marxists will not pervert.

And "performers" will do anything. Maybe if they make it "A-list" big we can hear their political views.

Two (and More) Can Play That Game

Sooo some pro gun hero joined the March for our lives FB group as a spy, convinced the head Karen to make him an admin, and then he yeeted all of the Karen admins. So the March for our lives group is now ran by the 2A crowd. So epic..." [More]
Now there's a "feel good" story for ya! And it shows another advantage to networking up...

Well, I know who I'd nominate for the Mary Mcfate Award...

It's not like the grabbers don't spy on us -- and then use their far-reaching media contacts to spread falsehoods about it.

And even change sides if the price is right (although my bet is I was being baited)...

You Can't Stop the Signal

Galloway says the ATF has been tracking shipments of these devices from overseas but some are even being made right here in Southern California. [More]
But...but...but...

Somebody want to settle Luke down?


Landru, Guide Us!

In this strange new Corona-world, my neighbor seems to believe everything he is told without challenge. He weeps on command at pictures of coffins. He reports me to the police for failing to comply with his interpretation of Corona lockdown. He looks to the state for income and is perversely happy to be relieved of all work and responsibility. He sees lockdown as a state-funded vacation and hopes for more. He looks to humiliate others not complying as he thinks they should. He will not question. He will only comply. [More]
You're NOT of the body!!!

Well, if we can't trust a vice president for minority affairs and diversity for an expert opinion, who can we trust?

We're the Only Ones Moderating Enough

Then, on March 27, a Marquette County Patrol Sergeant was dispatched to the Cohoon’s home to demand the Instagram posts be removed or face arrest for disorderly conduct. The Instagram posts were removed after the threat from law enforcement. [More]
It's what "Essential Heroes" do.

Sacrificial Lambs

...the sacrifices Americans are making in that effort aren’t fueled by panic or cowardice, but by heroism. [More]
As WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H notes:
See, I always thought 'sacrifices' were voluntary, like charity.
It's not the same as being sacrificed, where you have no choice. And ditto for Godless collectivists who try to pull a conflationary Christian charity guilt trip misdirection on those who decry government putting a gun to their heads to redistribute their earnings.

Catch and Release

Today I issued an Executive Order preventing the@release of dangerous criminals from prisons & jails.  [More]
If they're not dangerous, why were the taxpayers being bled to feed and house them in the first place? If they are, who but a sociopath or an enemy would inflict them on the citizenry until such time as they have proven beyond a reasonable doubt they can be trusted without a custodian?

Birth tourism remaining open. For women from Red China. Rich women at that. [More]
That speaks to a much larger issue.

We’ve improved our Gadsden flag! It’s bigger and better – and now it’s made in the USA! [More]
It wasn't before?

Where was it made?

He has to, though. The alternative is to face the reality that he is a helpless and impotent little troll, and that those he ridicules don't share in his contemptible weakness.

A Plan Comes Together

Seriously, at a time when Democratic state and city leaders are demanding that Americans shelter in place, these Democrats are insisting that illegals be free to walk about the country? And at a time when mass layoffs are taking place in restaurant, hotel, service, and other industries, the typical jobs illegals who work might take from Americans, these Democrats are proposing to flood those markets with a new wave of cheap foreign competition? [More]
Those are merely tactics to advance an overall strategy.

That's why they need our guns.

A 'Progressive' Champion of You, the Little People

‘Ellen’ Crew Furious Over Poor Communication Regarding Pay, Non-Union Workers During Coronavirus Shutdown [More]
That's because she's mean. And that's because deep down she knows herself and it horrifies her, so she must lash out at others lest she self-destructs.

No wonder she even drives crazy women away.

Did I mention that she's anti-gun (for you)?  And has armed bodyguards?

For some reason, after seeing that $40M compound, Mark 8:36 comes to mind...

Oh, look, Ellen fans:


Deceptive VA Gun Grab Enabled by Deliberately Changed Demographics


But unmentioned is how Virginia got to the point where the majority has managed to turn the state Democrat and anti-gun.[More]
The enemy recognizes what the greatest threat is, and exploits it to full political advantage. Meanwhile, our ostensible "leaders" would rather pretend it doesn't exist.
