The War on Guns: 10/08/20

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:

The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.

About "The Only Ones"

The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.

Fratelli Tutti Frutti

Is it "Oh Rudy" or "All rooty"? [More]

Sorry if I don't view the embrace of communism by the church as anything other than spiritual wickedness in high places.

As such, I really should take this false "pope" more seriously, and treat him less like a joke and more like the threat that he is.

None Dare Call It Obstruction of Justice

ICE agents in Lynn, Massachusetts arrested Rebelio Gonzalez this week on charges of being in the country illegally. Gonzalez is a repeat offender, having already entered the country illegally three times and having been deported before. But this arrest took a turn for the worse quickly. After the agents handcuffed the illegal alien and placed him in their car, his daughter called an “immigration rights activist” and very quickly a mob assembled around the ICE agents’ vehicle, refusing to let them leave. At that point, somewhat shockingly, the agents released Gonzalez. [More]

Have they been identified so they can be arrested and charged? Or are those we hire for this express purpose just giving up on our behalf?

My money says the daughter isn't eligible for deportation herself thanks to "birthright citizenship" for the progeny of criminal invaders.

All I can say is, good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Speaking of 'Peaceful Protestors'...

Wisconsin protesters terrorize residents by throwing rocks into homes after shooting decision [More]

As long as the residents don't point a gun at their attackers, they shouldn't be in any legal jeopardy...

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Report

FBI: Militia group planned to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, overthrow government [More]

Way to let CIs and provocateurs prompt you into helping generate narrative-bolstering headlines and making a tyrant look like a victim!

UPDATE:

What a tough call that was.

'Cutting the Throat of Whiteness'

FARM SLAUGHTER Female farmers sexually assaulted, tortured and murdered in latest horrific attacks on South Africa’s white farm workers [More]

This is my shocked face.

The Tip of the Iceberg

Biden website vows ‘assault weapons’ ban, forced gun registration and banning online sales of guns, ammo and parts [More]

Yes, we know. And with a racist twist.

And after that...? Because you know they'll just keep squeezing.

Which makes these idiots and their users all the more insidious and contemptible.

At Least She's Consistent

Judge calls out Gardner’s office for ‘consistent behavior’ to ‘obfuscate the process’ [More]

I wonder what would happen to you and me if we consistently defied a court order?

So Now the Complaint is About OVERrepresentation?

NAACP President Not Happy With Return Of TV Show ‘Cops’ [More]

I never watch it myself. See how easy that is?

I get what he's saying about "disproportionate," though.

Perhaps he could advise on locations that would produce more satisfactory results?

It's Called 'Projection'

These countries quietly slid into authoritarianism. Should the US be concerned under Trump? [More]

What can I say, besides "USA Today"?

Or "a Gannett Publication"?

We're the Only Ones Lawful Enough

The officer tried to detain Price "who resisted in a non-threatening posture and began walking away," according to the Rangers' statement. Lucas then used a Taser on Price before shooting him with his service weapon, officials said. [More]

So can the rest of us do that if we've actually been attacked first?
