Someone Else Who Won't Take the Challenge

Politically, Nativists are in a box from which there is no exit. The box exists because their hostility to Hispanics (and blacks and Asians) is racial, not political or behavioral. The racial basis, implicit in much of their writing, is often explicitly stated. Yes, they speak of strewn trash and poor English, but race is their underlying concern. They are clear about it. [More]
Demonstrably not true.

I like a lot of what this guy writes and especially how he writes it. In this, he's stuck in his own prejudice of seeing racism as the only motive and ignoring the pathway to tyranny cultural terraforming makes inevitable

And Therein Lies the Rub

All deserve the utter contempt of the voters who elected them to office. [More]
If they were morally or intellectually capable of reaching that conclusion, they wouldn't have voted for these obvious parasitical frauds in the first place.

More Than Just Libel

Paragon of anti-gun integrity Shannon Watts resorts to blatant fake tweet to slime pro-2A congressional candidate Nick Freitas (and his wife) [screenshots] [More]
Seeing as how she used this to solicit campaign contributions and MDA is a registered PAC, I'm wondering if this is a violation of campaign finance law reportable to the FEC.

Travelin' Man

He and other UMich law students – not yet licensed attorneys – teamed up with civil litigation attorneys last month to challenge the governor in federal court, arguing that the COVID-19 travel ban “between residences” violates due process and equal protection clauses in both federal and state constitutions. [More]
Or as the Supreme Court recognized in Dred Scott v. Sandford, a citizen has " the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation..."

I guess no one in authority wants that door reopened because they'd also have to recognize "full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

We're the Only Ones Brutal and Sadistic Enough

A Kentucky State Police trooper beat a handcuffed schizophrenic man after arresting him in March 2019, slamming his head against a wall, and punching and kicking him repeatedly before throwing him to the ground, according to video from a jail recording system...[the victim] spent nearly a year in jail; police failed to provide the video to prosecutors, defense attorneys or the judge, according to the suit. The charges were later dismissed. [More]
So would you...?

The Criminal Loophole

According to the investigating agents, Kimpton would use false names to contact online sellers in several states about purchasing firearms and other goods. He would agree to make a purchase and use an electronic payment platform to complete the order. The sellers were in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Tennessee, Washington state and South Carolina. [More]
So he broke multiple "laws"?

Again, if we just got rid of all the guns, stuff like this wouldn't happen.

Right?

Doing the Jobs Americans Won't Do?

El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents teamed up with local law enforcement officers to recover a stash of stolen firearms and ammunition near the California border with Mexico. The suspects, Mexican nationals, allegedly stole the weapons from Yuma, Arizona. [More]
Y'know, if we didn't have guns, people wouldn't steal them...

There's an App for That

When the woman showed up at the victim’s home, two men who were with her entered the house with weapons, police said. [More]
Looking for love in all the wrong places...

Sign the Petition to Start Civil War II!


Pass a law to confiscate all AR-15s and other assault weapons [More]
But no one's talking about taking your guns.

It's an ActBlue scam that won't accept the "petition" until you cough up some dough.  The important thing to remember is they are doing this to elect Democrats -- and disenfranchisingly notes "I am a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident (i.e., green card holder)."

Yep, it's legal for admitted foreigners to help put gun-grabbers in power.  And Democrats make a big deal about interference and "collusion."  Perhaps someone could explain to me how that helps "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."

A Right Delayed

Recently, we’ve had several tips from our members about the Sayreville police department outright refusing to process gun permits. [More]
Well, that right there is your problem...

A Grudging Admission

Crime has significantly declined while the sale of firearms has risen over the past month in the United States. Both trends appear to result fromthe coronavirus pandemic, which has simultaneously raised the nation’s anxiety while emptying its streets. We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research.  [More]
Can't resist putting your spin on it, can you, Gannett?

I'm sure the "researchers" can explain this...

Where Credit is Due

In Massachusetts, GOA joined several other plaintiffs who filed suit against the state’s closure of gun stores. Now, because of a favorable ruling from a federal judge, gun stores can reopen this Saturday, May 9th. [More]
Right, but to be clear-- whose case was it that produced the ruling?

If my question shows me to be misinterpreting things, I apologize for asking.

Stalag by the Sea


And so we'll be moving people like this into other kinds of housing... [More]
Don't worry. "It" could never happen here.

Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don't

“It was also distressing to think about the fact that racism in the United States is so profoundly a part of the lives of people of color that a student felt compelled to do something illegal and immoral to bring attention to the problem,” Holiday added. [More]
I knew I somehow shared in the guilt!

Speaking of Cognitive Dissonance and Hypocrisy

Black Michigan rep Sarah Anthony gets an armed escort into the state capitol after demonstrators carrying Confederate Flags, nooses and swastikas protested lockdown [More]
Actually, the Rebel Back Off Flag promotes this sentiment:
Back off if you don't know your history! Back off if you think I'm racist!
The swastika shown was on a sign protesting the dictatorial national socialist actions of Gretchen Whitmer, and any nooses were meant as symbols of warnings to tyrants, not as threats against minorities.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to prevent persecution by a majority and ensure due process and unalienable rights for all. So leave it to apologists for totalitarianism to promulgate Opposite Day smears.

So much for this lie.

And so much for this one:

The escort must have reason to believe that won't affect them.  Either that or they're just not getting it.

I just scanned the Twitter feeds for all the major grabber groups and didn't see any protest against her armed escort. I stipulate I'm in a hurry to get a bunch of stuff done and didn't spend a lot of time, so if anyone can find a tweet that predates the time stamp on this post, please share the link in comments.

Most, no doubt. But there are some who will reach individual intolerance points at which point they will no longer try" to control the raging spirit that dwells within..." Then who knows what cascading will occur...?

By the way, everybody here has read this, right?

Reichstag fires! What a "progressive" idea!

How did it "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" to let her in?

Speaking of Tedious Screeds...


Repeating the phrase four times qualifies. [More]

This is terminal tone-deafness. I sense another Downfall parody in the making.

In fairness, replacing Wayne with Dick Cheney carries a tone-deafness of its own.

Buyer's Remorse?

New White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was a harsh critic of then-candidate Donald Trump before she became a fierce advocate for him, including calling comments he made about Mexican immigrants in 2015 "racist."[More]
The thought strikes if he was better at hiring he wouldn't need to do so much firing.


So Much for Commonsense Hydroxychloroquine Safety Laws


Evidently, what "progressives" really mean are de facto bans. [More]

AAPS appears worth checking out. It doesn't look like they've jumped on the citizen disarmament bandwagon and they have all the right enemies...

Supposed ‘Pro-Gun’ Bill an Intolerable Act Endangering Second Amendment Activists


A man can find himself “prohibited” for a lot of reasons, including a conviction for possessing a “bump stock” the government says you can't have (soon to be a semi-auto if the antis get their way), or even for a “domestic violence” misdemeanor like tearing a pocket or throwing keys. Add to that due process-denying “red flag laws.” [More]
Decide you will not give up your "banned" guns after being convicted of principled civil disobedience and now these “Second Amendment champions” propose tacking another 15 years on if you're caught?
