Faking Bad
It's not about supporting the man. It's about supporting the promised agenda.
Which is why those of us who do are included in the attacks.
Go Home, Nothing to See
Court tosses NY case that could have expanded gun rights [More]As I've said before, all the Supreme Court has to do to let infringements stand is nothing.
It appears there are other cases waiting in the wings with the potential to chip a few flakes. Again as I've said before, don't look for unvarnished recognition of "shall not be infringed" unless and until there is a credible "or else" attached to the demand.

Correlation/Causation Redux
The Fifth Third shooting changed the lives of many Cincinnatians. Whitney Austin went from the vice president at a bank to the head of a non-profit, advocating for responsible gun ownership. [More]Perhaps someone can explain to me how handing out NSSF "safety kits" would have stopped this...?
And There He Kept Her Very Well
A man has been arrested after accidentally shooting himself in the process of threatening his ex-girlfriend with a gun... [More]I can't begin to tell you how many people I know who maintain fidelity that way.
There Oughta Be a Law!
Investigators say on Apr. 18, Hickson opened fire on a crowd of people from the inside a car near the intersection of Raeburn Lane and Randolph Place. [More]If only they would disarm you and me...
Schmuck Dynasty
When King was located, investigators say, he stated he was trying to see whether the gun's safety was on and it "went off numerous times" while in his hand. Authorities say he stated that he had been drinking vodka during this incident. [More]At first, I thought he might be one of those aninmaladjusted environmental cases trying to treat the teleFudds to their own medicine. I still don't trust his version of events and won't be surprised to see his lawyer argue the gun was defective and burst fired.
He's Got His
Howard Stern on Monday said he will support Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential election. [More]I guess when you "qualify" for a New York City concealed carry permit and can afford bodyguards, you're pretty much assured gun-grabs against the rest of us won't affect you.
Life's a Snitch
Maybe if We Were All in Individually Sealed Containers...
Yaneer Bar-Yam, president of the New England Complex Systems Institute and leader of the initiative, said the goal shouldn’t be slowing the spread of COVID-19 but to eliminate it completely. [More]Of course, that should be the goal. Whether it's attainable or not is what different locales will be experimenting with.
Hell, I agree that a goal should be to eliminate completely criminal violence committed with guns. How we get to there from here is where we run into the problems, particularly seeing all those experiments that haven't worked.
I go into default suspicion mode when the "solutions" being offered ultimately rely on armed coercion by state enforcers.

Correlation/Causation?
Covid-19 cases per million are 95% higher and covid-19 deaths per million are 126% higher in states with 5G. [More]I stipulate I am unqualified to weigh in on this with an informed opinion, but present it here for those of you who are.
I do question how 5G can be proclaimed "safe" when it hasn't been around long enough to determine effects in 10 or 20 years of mass exposure.

Monday Morning Quarterbacking
They allegedly stopped at one point to allow the men to pass, but the suspects also stopped. “He said the suspect grabbed him by the throat and said, ‘This is how it’s gonna go down,’” sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said. The victim told deputies he was afraid for his life and shot the other man once or twice. [More]He should have been prepared by the time he stopped and turned. That way he might not have shot himself in the leg.
That said, it's like landing an airplane-- anyone you can walk away from is a good one.

An Interesting Accusation, Considering Who'd Making It

Inslee Forgot to Say 'Please'
Fear or Prudence?
Freedom is Slavery
Jack Goldsmith and Andrew Keane Woods see the pandemic as a great opportunity to bring about more censorship along with surveillance of the public... [More]It's curious how many historically ignorant useful idiots don't realize the lime pit is for them once they're designated useless eaters. My money is on Jack and Andrew not being able to rat each other out fast enough.

A Formula that Works
Berlin-based newspaper Der Tagesspiegel and other mainstream media outlets described some of the protest organizers as “right-wing populists” and “conspiracy theorists.” [More]Then we should feel right at home there.
These guys do.

Think of It as 'Fundamental Transformation'
Ocasio-Cortez: Illegal aliens detained by ICE ‘have not committed a crime’ [More]Open the borders, invite everyone in, hell, pay the passage of those who can't afford it, and make the first stop the voter registration office. What kind of intolerant racists want to keep what they've built and paid for?

Blued, Screwed and Tattooed
He added he “thought it was a military support symbol at the time.”... On its website, the right-wing Three Percenters group says it isn’t an anti-government militia but “we will defend ourselves when necessary.” [More]Deny two more times, Rohrwasser, and you'll win the trifecta and lose much more.
What kind of idiot permanently marks his flesh without knowing what it means? What kind of tyrant enabler would ruin a man for advocating Founding intent? Talk about Opposite Day "progressive" Patriots!
Why force him to deny and renounce or give up what he has trained all his life for?
And everybody knows what Mike, the guy most self-designated Threepers don't even seem to be aware of, had to say, right?
One other point. The Three Percent idea, being an idea, is internalized and finds expression in action when required without any top-down organization issuing orders.See "Vanderboegh Advises Friends to Embrace True Meaning of the ‘Three Percent’" for more.
UPDATE: Lew Rockwell notes a different design would have garnered praise.

New York, New York, It's a Wonderful Town
Murders in NYC surge for second week in a row as coronavirus lockdown continues [More]That's curious. We don't have that in the town where I live, and we're (nominally) "allowed" to open carry and own (lookalike) "assault weapons" and everything...
So are we to believe denizens of "progressive" enclaves cannot be trusted without custodians? Their voting patterns sure suggest it.
Kapos for Kristallnacht

Denying guns and ammo to them, along with a hearty "F*** you, now get the hell out of my store, douchebags!" is "gun control" I could support.
An Inconvenient Truth
Renewable energy, it tells us, is not clean energy but dirty energy because it does tremendous damage to the environment. The people who make money out of it are the worst kind of crony-capitalists. Anyone who claims to believe otherwise is either an idiotic dupe or a wicked liar. [More]Bare-ass naked in the town square conned...
Suddenly It's Clear
A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments [More]That explains the propensity for voting for gun-grabbers: They're stupid.
We're the Only Ones Skirting the Issue Enough
The main issues revolve around Chief Jerry Geier and his purported favoritism of female officers when it came to promotions or skirting police policies. [More]What motive could he have had for doing this?

NSFW But a Lot of Truth and Funny as Hell
There were moments I thought comedian Vic Dibitetto was going to give himself a heart attack. This one comes with a caveat: You don't want to play this with the easily-offended or with children in earshot.
I'd think if I were a lender, extending the loan period by the number of months payments would be preferable to forcing mass bankruptcies. I'd think if I were a lender who had been the recipient of government bailouts, I wouldn't have much to squawk about. I'd think if I were a lender who discriminated against guns I wouldn't be surprised to find very little sympathy for mandates from those whose lives I went out of my way to make harder.

Speaking of Stunts
“Stunts like these are just ill-fated attempts to score cheap political points during a major public health crisis. In Bill Stanley's case, he may think these efforts will bolster his run for Governor, but voters will not fondly remember his enthusiasm to put their communities at risk,” said DPVA Press Secretary Carson Brown. [More]But overwhelmingly-Democrat Californians can just ignore the legal process altogether...?
VADems, eh?
I suppose it's too late to cover my tracks...?

Much Ado about Nothing
"...the actual order does nothing to pause the hundreds of thousands of nonimmigrant visas issued each year and only delays the granting of a limited number of green cards.” [More]Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue." Right, "Saviors"?
And Ye Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Make You Free
While I believe we have suffered from the ongoing communist agenda promoted since Woodrow Wilson, there are ways to counter and perhaps eradicate it from American life, but a few people would have to recognize this pandemic for the blessings it offers and spend a lot more time trying to point out those blessings. [More]I have to wonder how many will.
An Inadequate Response
“GO F*** YOURSELF!” Protests Heat Up for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer [More]The best time to say that was here.
And this isn't helping.
Neither are these guys, who really make me think twice about "Buy American."

We're the Only Ones Home-Bound Enough
Idaho Protesters Rally At The Home Of Police Officer Who Arrested Woman For Taking Kids To Playground [More]Good general strategy... A little bit too much sucking up to the cops for my tastes, and I'm afraid I'd have reserved some of my vocal outrage for that idiot Ammon Bundy...
[Via Jess]
An Historic Moment
“This is a historic moment tonight for us to be celebrating the first call to prayer, adhan, in a major city in the United States,” said Sheikh Abdisalam Adam... [More]Sounds like time to crank up the stereo with some vintage Ray Stevens...
[Via Michael G]
Some Assembly Required
Lego Blowback Machine Gun [More]Tell me this wouldn't get an "Only Ones" response and the kid kicked out of school -- as opposed to earning him praise and encouragement for innovation, understanding, and discipline.
That would require open-minded teachers and administrators capable of appreciating such things instead of hive-minded "zero tolerance" bullies.
Get a 'Weapon of War' Online!!!
I just wish more gun owners would contribute out of wanting to help shoulder the load and that chances to win prizes weren't needed.
Disregarding Laws We Oppose Redux
There’s only one problem. California’s Constitution forbids appropriating funds “to any corporation, association, asylum, hospital, or any other institution not under the exclusive management and control of the State as a state institution.” Newsom had attempted this method of distribution since, under state and federal law, unemployment benefits cannot be extended to illegal aliens either without caring that it was prohibited under California’s constitution, or believing that no one would care enough to challenge it. [More]It's hardly the first time he's deliberately flouted duly enacted law -- and used the apparatus of the state to chill inquiry.

Truer Words Redux
Anonymous said...Well, that didn't last very long. Last night at around 10 PM PST a 3 judge panel from the 9th Circuit put a immediate administrative stay on the injunction after a request from Kalifornia AG Xavier Becerra for an emergency stay. Freedom Week 3.0 turned into Freedom Day.Here's the order.
Funny how the courts can intervene in off hours on a friday night during a pandemic to restrict rights, but never ever to restore rights.
