J'Accuse…!

 The following companies and/or their decision makers have instituted anti-firearm corporate policy or have pressed lawmakers to enact further strict legislation. [More]

I have the same problem with this I had with the old "NRA Blacklist": What exactly did those being accused do? For this to be useful, each entry should explain or link to documentation of the offense.

That and I see plenty not on here who deserve to be. Case in point... And let's not forget who gun owners brag they go to in lieu of Levis: they've still never explained that one.

I don't ask anything from the listmaker that I don't hold myself to. If I say so-and-so did something, I prove it. Without doing that, I'm having a hard time distinguishing this logically and morally from what I'd expect from a mob, where somebody yells out an accusation and everybody runs for a rope.

You can do better, CCRKBA.

Settled Science

Firearm violence occurred more frequently in US cities in 2020 compared with previous years.1 Two major events of 2020 may explain this increase: enactment of containment policies to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and a national reckoning with systemic racism, including widespread protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd.1 This study evaluated independent associations between COVID-19 containment policies and the killing of George Floyd on firearm violence in one US city, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [More]

I know the number I've shot has gone through the roof. How about you?

Funny, though. No cites to support the "systemic racism" claim...

Ah, well. It's not as if JAMA has shown itself to be that big of a stickler for proofs.

The Continuing Crisis

 That’s not to say that any have been proved. They’ve barely been investigated, whether at the federal or state level, in the courts, or by the media. For it’s quite clear that most of the people who really run America don’t want to know what really happened. More to the point, they don’t want you to know ...  Irregularities that our own State Department considers sufficient proof to declare third-world elections fraudulent are, here at home, not even enough to quality as “evidence.” [More]

As good a postmortem as any I've seen...

His assessment of future options for those who are persecuted with no means for redress seems a bit insulated, and Mr. Kennedy's observation about inevitability comes to mind.

Red Flags

 My passion for protecting our Second Amendment rights has run strong ... As your next Lieutenant Governor, I will help lead the charge to repeal Virginia’s unconstitutional red flag law... [More]

Just to be clear:

"I've never supported red flag laws, don't support red flag laws..."

So VPM has issued a retraction at your demand?

"The proposal has the support of at least two House Republicans: GOP Caucus Chair Tim Hugo (R-Fairfax) and Del. Glenn Davis (R-Virginia Beach)."

And talk about your "passion" notwithstanding, you think Glenn Davis-approved "gun-free zones" strike "a reasonable balance"?

And creating a "reward illegals" magnet will do what for the legislative future of 2A, exactly?

You and Youngkin ought to go together like peas and carrots!

Going Off-Script

 The globalist cabal working to install Joe Biden as Imperial Leader “enlisted Elias to lead efforts in election challenges.” They knew what he did for Hillary so they’re going bananas trying to figure out why he would throw the Democrats under the bus now.

A Newsmax spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email that the company was told the Feb. 17 interview was removed because it violated YouTube’s community guidelines. [More]

So the (ostensibly former and falsely accused racist) President of the United States is offensive, but the President of the United States of Love is well within YouTube/Google community guidelines!

As the Culture Terraforms

 The bill also includes the most far-reaching changes in immigration law in more than three decades. It would sweep away restrictions on family-based immigration, making it easier for spouses and children to join family members already in the country. And it would expand worker visas to allow more foreigners to come to the United States for jobs. [More]

Conservative Daily's "Daily Sanity" email (sorry, I can't give the "View in Browser" link without giving anyone who accesses it the ability to "unsubscribe" me) says:

Not only does it give illegal aliens a pathway to citizenship, but it even includes illegals with multiple criminal convictions and even illegal aliens who have already been deported! That's right: the Democrats' amnesty plan would take illegal aliens who have already been deported and welcome back into the country to put them on a fast track for citizenship!

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"! If it did, I'm sure our "gun rights leaders" would be all over it.

A Nonsense Candidate


Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she "dropped the ball" when it came to finding a way to use some of her contingency funds to pay for food for needy children or those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, she found herself dealing with "bad press," as she put it during a virtual news conference with reporters Friday, after it was discovered she had spent some $6,500 on groceries and alcohol while holding small in-person meetings at the governor's mansion. [More]

That's one way to put getting caught with her snout in the trough.

Maybe she can distract everybody by demanding more "commonsense gun safety laws."

Second Amendment Resolutions Add Emphasis to Adage That ‘All Politics is Local’

 

Here’s what they don’t do, at least until now: They don’t actually enforce rights, which if you think about it, is the sworn duty of every “law enforcer.” They might not help the feds or the state rape a citizen of his rights, but they don’t stop them from the act, either. [More]

Ideally, we should be working toward all three goals: A Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, a Militia resolution, and a Second Amendment enforcement bill.
