Mixed Messages

 Why African Americans should strictly oppose the war on guns [More]

Who thinks selecting an anti-NRA graphic for this piece wasn't deliberate?

Car Violence Points to Need for Licensing and Registration

The Capitol is on lockdown and the National Guard is deployed. Just what Nancy needs to keep the Kapitol Kabuki going.

I wonder how soon we'll have a name and if it will bolster the narrative.

A Billion Here, A Billion There, Pretty Soon You're Talking Real Arsenals

 The SAS estimates that American civilians own 393 million guns, ranking the U.S. number one in firearms per capita. [More]

As usual, the gun-grabbers are full of ...beans.

Unless no one owned guns before 1998...

Unintended Consequences

 Biden stimulus checks spark historic surge in gun sales, especially AR-15s [More]

I thought saying "surge" was racist...? Which, you know, so is owning a gun...

Woka Cola

Anyone up for a Pepsi? [More]

Not really.

I'm not up for Wranglers, either.

A Spark Can Set the Whole Thing Off

 Gaslighting: How Leftists Demonize And Demoralize Their Opposition [More]

Once you realize what they're doing, you can stop, analyze and rebut rather than sputter in frustration because everything feels so overwhelmingly and frustratingly wrong.

I'd say exposing what they're doing would be a fourth way, except good luck reaching a critical mass of the deceived. That means Option 3 it is, and they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

The Silent Treatment

George Floyd’s Friend and ‘Key Witness’ in Chauvin Trial Invokes 5th Amendment, Declines to Testify [More]

If he could incriminate himself, why should he? Especially since I would expect all the pressures and incentives from within his community put a priority on maintaining outrage?

All this aside, including the drugs and the dispute over cause of death, why would you kneel on a proned-out and handcuffed man's neck? With your damn hand in your pocket?

Looks Can Be Deceiving?

 

Photo Collage Reveals Who Commits the Mass Shootings in the US Today [More]

Who are you gonna believe? The official narrative or your lyin' eyes?

Not Afraid to Call a Chicom a Chicom

 REVEALED: China’s State Propaganda Group Boasts Control Over Western Think Tanks, ‘Election Integrity’ Groups, And Even Joe Biden’s National Security Team. [More]

Say, will talking about this get anyone in trouble with the Stop Asian Hate folks (or more to the point, some of the hidden figures exploiting it)?

Witness for the Prosecution

 Brazilian perp takes his final breath when clever shopkeeper unleashes the heat… [More]

If I was the shopkeeper I would not want authorities to see this.

The Better Part of Valor

 Today in Richmond, Armed Virginia Modern Militia Activist and "Boogaloo Boi" Mike Dunn co-lead a group of about 50 armed individuals through the streets and capital, blatantly disregarding and defying the unconstitutional city ordinances banning open carry and mags of 20+. [More]

Noting they're going after DC protestors when they're alone and after the fact based on camera "evidence" and CIs/snitches, I'd be careful and consider consequences. 

Protestor's remorse and all that goes with it can't be a good feeling.

More Equal Than Others

 Moms Demand Action chapter lead condoning murder based on political beliefs? [More]

As long as it's done by violence monopoly enforcers (VMEs?) against "white right-wing extremists," it's good "gun violence," right?

[Via bondmen]

Pest Removal

Now people are trying to remove her from the council. [More]

In a rational world, she'd be removed from the country.

What ever happened to expelling "undesirable aliens"?

[Via Michael G]

Designated Sacrifices

 Soon the witness would falsely identify them as the killers. The witness, a Black minister, would later say police, prosecutors and even fellow clergy encouraged him to identify the soldiers as the killers because of fears of a riot if no one was convicted. [More]

Why only $1M each? And why aren't those responsible for doing this to them now behind bars themselves?

[Via Michael G]

Close But No Cigar

 But if you want Congress to impose gun restrictions, the only truly constitutional way of doing so is by repealing or altering the Second Amendment, not reinterpreting its meaning to contradict everything the people who passed it into law believed.  [More]

He had me going "Right on!" up until the last line. That would still not end the right, just its recognition, and it would be up to each of us to accept that or reject it.

Knowledge is Power

Registration for the 2021 FFLGuard Symposium opens on April 1, 2021 at both fflconf.com and right from the home page on FFLGuard.com.  Schedules and Agenda/Seminar Topics to be released soon after on April 15, 2021. [More]

If I were an FFL and interested in continuing as one, I'd pay attention.

A Simple Solution

Gun Theft Victim Liability Bill Advances. [More]

You know, if you didn't have a gun this wouldn't be a problem for you.

Stare Decisis

 Smallpox 'virus squads' and mandatory vaccinations upheld by the Supreme Court [More]

For some reason, my first thought is of all the "welfare checks" that end up with the citizen bleeding out...

Tangentially-Related UPDATE:

You want to be "free," don't you?

Confucius Say...

 Today, U.S. Representative Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after introducing the Higher Education Transparency Act. This legislation mandates complete transparency to expose Confucius Institutes and other foreign influence programs on college campuses disguised as cultural and language programs. [More]

I keep returning to this, which I suppose is now considered hateful...

Point of Order...

One of the women who had sex with both men... [More]

Shouldn't "is alleged to have" been inserted there...?

You gotta wonder -- if this turns out to be true -- what personality defect makes people in positions of power think they can involve others in such behaviors and keep it confidential. But mostly, you gotta wonder how much of the Deep State runs on blackmail.
