With 'Republicans' Like These, Who Needs Democrats?


Several Senators are refusing to commit to supporting HB 1927—and your right to self-defense. Their refusal could kill our chances at Constitutional Carry this session. This is unacceptable—especially because the Texas House passed this bill with solid bipartisan support. [More]

Are they really stupid enough to think betraying Texas gun owners will stop Democrats from conflating them with every bad name in the book? This is the most fundamental right we have. Voting for any Republican poltroon who votes against this will let them know there is no betrayal they can't get away with.

That's impossible!

I'm sure it's just an anomaly.

We're the Only Ones Exclusive Enough

The sheriff’s office does not support the Calaveras county community service militia and has no intention of supporting them.” [More]

And naturally, volunteering to disarm is not enough:

His effort drew quick backlash on social media, some calling it “racist,” “dangerous” and “a target for aspiring insurrectionists.”

Take a Walk, Fred

After months of watching Republican “leadership” roll over for the supermajority in the Oregon Legislature, some folks had enough. As you may have heard, a recall campaign has begun against Senate Republican “leader” Fred Girod. [More]

Betrayal ought to cost. Allowing it to happen with impunity only guarantees more of it.

Help Wanted: Inquire Within

We need people to show up on Wednesday at 9: 00 AM at the NC General Assembly 16 West Jones Street at the Printed Bills office where GRNC will have a table set up. You will be asked to go to legislators offices and tell them to repeal the racist, Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law that some sheriffs are using to obstruct handgun buyers. [More]

If you are able to, why not help? 

More Racist Roots of 'Gun Control'

 Turns out, the FOID card exists because of racial tensions and armed blacks [More]

MomAtArms continues to impress me with its investigative journalism efforts that uncover stuff no one else is talking about.  Here's some other recent stuff I haven't been able to call to your attention because of my family medical hiatus.

Mad Max

“I Grew Up on Guns. Now I’ve Learned to Love Firearm Control: Viewed from the U.K., the American love of weapons is completely understandable, and completely irresponsible.” [More]

Then enjoy your caliphate, you silly wanker. And my answer is still "No."

I actually got sent this piece from SAF with a link to it on their site and sent this reply email:

We're the Only Ones Heroic Enough

 Sharyl (on-camera): In a statement, an attorney for the officer insists his “bravery was nothing short of heroic and by shooting and killing Babbitt, he saved the lives of countless members of Congress and the rioters. The nation owes him a debt of gratitude.” [More]

Where have we heard such characterizations before?

And we generally know heroes' names so that they can be paid proper tribute...

We're the Only Ones Problematic Enough

 Pat Colligan, president of the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, said many officers who have dealt with problems like that have gone on to have good careers. [More]

Why is it the first thing that makes me think of is Natlamp's Frank Rizzo parody?

A New Excuse to Riot

REVEALED: Chauvin juror who promised judge impartiality now says people should join juries ‘to spark some change', wore BLM shirt in 2020 [More]
That ought to warrant a mistrial finding, and you know what will happen if the "guilty" verdicts are voided.

It also ought to result in misconduct charges and prosecution.

I Guess It Depends On Who Does the Killing

Just to be clear, the life he didn't think mattered was black.
