The Politics of Personal Destruction

 
What exactly did Nearman do to bring down the full force of the left? Mike opened a locked door to the Capitol Building …and walked outside. [More]

Oregon Firearms Federation presents a tale of in-your-face persecution and double standards that deserves to be shared far and wide.

Still a Ways to Go

‘Do Not Rely On The Government To Protect You’: Black Gun Ownership Is Soaring, Here’s Why [More]

If we are to believe the DSM, it's to protect themselves against "systemic racism," even though that's not how their DGUs play out.

Show me a mass exodus from the Democrats and I'll be impressed.

We're the Only Ones for the Children Enough

  Trooper Charged With Rape Of 11-Year-Old Girl Landed His Job After FBI Ouster Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations [More]

Some monstrous violations can make you rethink public crucifixion as a proportional deterrent. That poor little victim will be damaged for life.

Good thing this will all be the new normal in a few years and relics like me can be cast out as haters.

Southern Comfort

 South Carolina Senate Passes Open Carry Bill [More]

Herschel breaks things down for us. And there are still some procedural matters to iron out and a governor's signature to obtain.

You're On Your Own

 “Property owners are considering the creation of a State Street Association that would hire private security guards to address the homeless situation downtown. [More]

I know State Street well. Santa Barbara was a frequent destination for me in the early Eighties. What a jewel it was and still could be. It's beyond a shame to see this happen, but they've done it to themselves.

And don't count on NRA's A-rated citizen disarmament enforcer to allow non-"Only Ones" to defend themselves.

Removing a Redundant Prior Restraint

 House approves bill doing away with purchase permits to buy handgun ...The sheriff’s association says the permit system is now obsolete because of a national background check database. [More]

A Right Delayed

Waiting For An Illinois Firearms’ Owner’s Card? Get In Line — A Very Long Line [More]

The Most Important Qualification

Jones repeatedly asserted during the debate that his experience as a Black man made him more suited for the job of helping Virginia move forward from its racist history. [More]

Funny, I don't see that on the list...

Matter of Fact

50 facts about guns in America [More]

Just a cursory glance through some of these makes me wonder if I could find more than 50 disputes with how they're either describing things or leaving out relevant information. 

Infantile Arguments

 But the historical record demonstrates that the founding generation would have regarded those under 21 as infants who did not have an individual right to keep and bear arms...[More]

What do you, think Tench?

And forget U.S. Code.

Funny-- these are the same lying sacks whose senator wants "infants" to vote.

Bearing Arms has more.


Blast from the Past

 Our friends at MomAtArms remind us that the first impulse self-preserving political trough-feeders have is to protect their precious hindquarters, and if that means constituent disarmament, the historical precedent is there. [More]

I remember that particular historical precedent well. I included it with a list of other infringements an unidentified politician supported and asked readers what they thought of him. Over 75% considered him a traitor.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that some got mad at me and tried to make excuses when I told them who he was. I'm also not surprised to see so many gun owners still revere the guy.

But wait, as late TV pitchman Billy Mays used to say, there's more!
