Gun show promoter agrees to ban the sale of “ghost guns” at their shows… [More]
And they retweeted a gun-grabber crowing? (In fairness, I have only seen the graphic, not a substantiating link.)
Amen Brown? Where have I seen "gun rights leaders" endorsing his bills before?
UPDATE: Eagle says it's all part of a manufacturer's purchasing agreement. That seems a bit cryptic in the face of all that legalese, and it would serve them well to summarize the fine points of their position.

In 2021, we are experiencing a similar disjunction, between an elite that seeks to alter the conditions of American life—everything from folkways to the administrative and legal rules that structure our society—and a wide variety of folks (plural peoples) who are victims of this new governing elite. [More]
The difference is, this time we have no elites on our side. Well, maybe once in a while Trump and the My Pillow guy...

This is the second time I've been interviewed by Răzvan Sibii for the Romanian press. The first was almost 11 years ago when he posted on Mike Vanderboegh and me in Adevărul.
Some folks have asked why I spend the time with foreign news outlets. Aside from the fact that they tend to a. spell my name right and b. quote me accurately (two things you definitely cannot count on with domestic media), I look upon the fight for liberty as a world-wide struggle. Thus, in the interests of some future "Liberty International" I am always happy to explain the Founders' Republic to foreign press. Our enemies think globally. So should we.
Sibii and I talked about a lot more but not everything can make it into the final cut and I think he did a good job distilling things down to the essentials. There is one thing I regretted not having mentioned during our conversation but will bring up now in response to Zoe Grover's contention that "The state has tanks and bombs, which cannot be bought by the citizen. The citizens would lose that war":
Two words: Nicolae Ceaușescu.
Conservatives Drift Leftward in the Plan to Rescue America [More]
As noted before, the term is dependent on time and place. At the time of the War of the Rebellion, conservatives backed the King. The way "conservative" is used here, noting Mitt Romney and unconstitutional Republican usurpations are being so identified, is calculated to make anyone "to the right" of that attackable as an extremist.
Unfortunately, and deliberately, the term "liberal" has been appropriated by those who are the farthest thing from it.

That the Constitution talks about the Consent of the Governed also means that the governed were considered to be able to make proper, just decisions about their own lives, and had the right to do that, without goverment intervention. [More]
It doesn't. It implies it, but that phrase is from the Declaration of Independence.

We are completely unaware of a single news report, radio interview or even recorded public statement where Lt. Governor Randy McNally has indicated that he supports allowing any person who can legally possess a firearm to carry a firearm. This is, as Brian Wilson noted, an issue of significant public interest so the question is why are there no clear public statements by the Lt. Governor? [More]

"We required every officer in the state to receive additional use of force training and de-escalation training before any other on a national level before any other state was doing this," Wigginton said. "We talk about it in a lecture-based environment. We test them academically on a written test," he added. After that, they're put through the high-tech simulation, where an instructor controls each moment of the scenario and can change what happens next with the click of a button. This is where costly mistakes are revealed before they happen in real life. [More]
Looks intriguing. I wouldn't mind trying that myself. That said, a line by Pinkley comes to mind.
As do a few questions:
I'm not against the idea. Under certain circumstances, I'm even for it. I'm just observing that government consistently finds ways to turn what could be blessings into curses.

New information about the failure to protect the U.S. Capitol – despite intelligence suggesting a pre-planned attack – asserts that it was President Trump’s team that forced the issue of National Guard deployment, while Army officials at the Pentagon were more concerned about the backlash they might face from the media, the DC Mayor, and the political left.
