Hawaii Folds on American Samoan Gun Ban

 

“Therefore, it is stipulated that [Hawaii Revised Statute’s] citizenship requirement be permanently enjoined as it applies to non-citizen United States nationals,” the order declares. That means Mr. Nickel’s right to apply for and purchase a firearm is now recognized and the state and county/city may no longer refuse him. [More]

With the right attorneys and legal arguments, it is not always necessary to turn to major gun groups to take on cases. Besides, if up to the "enforce existing gun laws" crowd, the plaintiff would have had to eat it and like it.

The Task Ahead

 It is not enough to win an election. [More]

Anyone who thinks it is shares culpability for why we're in this mess.

I Can Live with That

David Hogg has reservations about running for office because he’s white [More]

Not because he's an incompetent child with no life experience except feeding his mania for attention and control?

The telling thing is Democrats would vote for him.

A House Divided?

“If you ain’t from Englewood, get the f–k out of here,” longtime local resident Darryl Smith shouted at protesters during tense confrontations. [More]

So it's not the monolith we're being told?

To channel the Democrat candidate for president, Darryl sounds like he just ain't black. Will he and his neighbors remember come election time?

Hoist with Their Own Petard

 Now attacking a store because it's associated with the wealthy isn't a hate crime under Illinois law. But if it can be proved that a looter attacked a store partly because it was associated with people who are not "Black and Brown" (whether those people were owners, indirect owners, managers, or patrons), that would be a hate crime—just as of course it would be a hate crime to attack a store partly because it was associated with people who were "Black and Brown."

That's a chair and this is a vicious bar fight.

Speaking of Domestic Enemies

 At this moment of Constitutional crisis, only two options remain. Under the first, U.S. military forces escort the former president from the White House grounds. Trump’s little green men, so intimidating to lightly armed federal law enforcement agents, step aside and fade away, realizing they would not constitute a good morning’s work for a brigade of the 82nd Airborne. Under the second, the U.S. military remains inert while the Constitution dies. The succession of government is determined by extralegal violence between Trump’s private army and street protesters; Black Lives Matter Plaza becomes Tahrir Square. [More]

Where does the delegated power for option one come from again?

What a pack of paranoid and hysterical mob-inciting lies throughout, the biggest being that he would refuse to abide by a fair election. And these two treasonous apparatchiks want to talk about oaths.

Anybody see a "Comments" section over there?

 BIBLICAL BADASSES: A Raw Look At Christianity And Art [Watch]

Anyone hanging out here knows I don't wear religion on my sleeve and don't present myself as more than someone who struggles with faith and with doubts, but this kind of gives a feel for why my favorite cigar label is on the Ave Maria Ark of the Covenant and I dig St. Michael's attitude.

Enemy at the Gate

Screen shot from video, just as the gate is being opened by lead agitators of the mob of protestors. In this screen shot , the gate is about a foot open, likely no more than a half second after the latch was jimmied. [More]

Add that to the pressure and the evidence tampering, and what's keeping the feds from frog-marching Kim Gardener out of her office and into a courtroom, aside from the fear of more riots?
