We're the Only Ones Miscounting Enough
However, the defense presented evidence to indicate that Zhao had used a 20-round magazine, which he was entitled to possess. [More]
Kind'a makes you wonder what kind of dick "Only One" would go after someone for that in the first place.
Officers James C. McClain and Brian Wilson, the floor is yours.

Your Tax Dollars at Work
General Assembly votes to give undocumented students access to college financial aid [More]
But....but...but how did this happen???
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

And Now, the Rest of the Story
Phil over at Busted Nuckles reposted a cartoon. It needed two more panels, so I helped out on it. [More]
And what would this be without Paul Harvey's trademark signoff?

How Now Brown Drow?
The Virtual Rope-Seller
In its bid for TikTok, Oracle was supposed to prevent data from being passed to Chinese police. Instead, it’s been marketing its own software for their surveillance work. [More]
Maybe they promised to claim Larry Ellison's island last...

A Commonsense Gun Safety Advpcate
'Shooters want money': Baltimore convict-turned-activist says city should PAY killers not to kill to lower city's murder rate [More]
Sorry, pal. We love the thinking outside the box and all, but that's what governments are for.
To Boldly Go Where No Non-Binary Person of Color Has Gone Before
Idiocracy Descending
We're the Only Ones Capitolizing Enough
One officer had taken selfies with some rioters, while another wore a MAGA hat and started directing rioters, Ryan said. [More]
Could someone please explain to me why some "news" outlets are still claiming it "led to the death of Officer Brian Sicknick" if not to perpetuate the discredited fake fire extinguisher lie and suppress the fact that the correlation between the melee and his stroke has not been positively established?

Not to Fear-Monger or Anything...
They Blow Up So Fast These Days
Hunter Biden
The JoeBiden.com website featured a page that included a rousing endorsement from such sportsmen/sportswomen for Biden... [More]
That's why those peddling the lie that owning guns unifies us all and how we vote shouldn't matter are so subversive. As the truism goes, it's not about guns, it's about freedom.
Damn every Fudd who throws other gun owners under the bus. I have more contempt for them than I do for out-and-out antis.

A Falling Tide Strands All Boats
Persona non Grata
Nikki Haley Tried to Get a Meeting With Trump — But He Shot Her Down [More]

The Tiger Need Not Be Paper
South Dakota is pushing back on Washington. Recently, the South Dakota state legislature introduced a bill, HB1194, that would give our state Attorney General, Jason Ravnsborg, the authority to nullify any Executive action from the White House that is deemed unconstitutional or harmful to the state in critical areas. [More]
So at what point are they going to realize that what they need to back that up is what the Founders deemed "necessary to the security of a free State"?
Doing What Works
TV Shows Push Gun Control Myths -- in Sync With Biden [More]
Well, you are traveling through another dimension.
Hey, when you have a proven method that you know from experience works and can count on audiences dumb enough to waste their lives watching such garbage to willingly fall for whatever psyops manipulation you want to subject them to ...

I'll Believe It When I See It
It's Not Too Late to Try My Idea
The Columbus Division of Police said juveniles are stealing purses off of women who are alone and then stealing their vehicles. [More]
Years ago I was toying with an invention I called "Screaming Mimi," to place in purses that, when stolen, would allow the woman to press a button on a wrist band or pendant and set off a shrieking alarm. It actually started off as an idea that when she pushed the button it would set off an explosive charge and blow the perp up, which I liked better but for some reason, the "authorities" would frown upon...

Looking at the Wrong Thing
“Guns obtained in this manner are often used in criminal activity and put our community in danger.” [More]
Which leaves open a potential that they can also be used to protect life and property, that prohibiting their possession puts the community in greater danger, and the real issue has nothing to do with guns?
[Via Jess]
And Hell Followed with Them
Please don’t let up now. [More]
I wonder how many Oregon gun owners have even started.
Conspiracy Theory
Don't Hold You Breath
Report: Liars, cheaters, and scammers have stolen more than $100 billion of coronavirus aid - According to federal law enforcement officials, the fraud is deeply complex and will take months to fully account for [More]
Kind of like they have done with...?
I was going to put "Fast and Furious" but then realized there are plenty of other deliberately unresolved criminal outrages I could have listed.

What Day Is It?
It's Firearms Friday! I'll be joining Michael Dukes momentarily @10:30 a.m. Eastern:
It's Still a Prior Damn Restraint
The Gun Owner Privacy Act protects the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the Feds from collecting data to monitor and log gun ownership in America. This legislation will give Americans legal recourse and the ability to sue the Feds and collect damages for records illegally stored. [More]
We weren't promised that with NICS?
And that brings up another point: The grabbers have for years been trying to push through a "Background Check Completion Act" that would eliminate the requirement to allow the transfer to proceed after three days of dithering. That means a "delay" could be indefinite, without triggering the appeal process.
Those who would tell us a deal with the devil is the only way forward always act shocked, shocked when the deal is "altered."
As for Rep. Greene, good for her but pardon my cynicism at her being able to actually get anything done with her own party treating her as toxic.
And, of course, as long as the argument is about how to dress up a prior restraint, you'll note nobody but nobody, be it "staunch defender of the Second Amendment" politicians or rice bowl gun groups, is bringing up the one system that would make data collection impossible.
Ignorance is Not Bliss
Police said a mother is dead after her children found a gun inside her purse and accidentally shot her Monday inside their home in Cornelius. [More]
This was presented as a counterpoint of sorts to my latest AmmoLand article.
Maybe it's me, but 25 and with five kids, along with a quick scan of a Facebook page that appears to be a match, strikes me as a person who made chronic problematic life choices to where it was just a matter of time and odds before catastrophe caught up.
Anyone who thinks I'm saying this just to "blame the victim" is either idiotically or deliberately missing the point. I reject this tragic and utterly avoidable example as a valid rebuttal to responsible firearms ownership. If anything, it reflects on the "commonsense gun safety" subversives who demand avoidance and ignorance.
