“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” [More]
It looks like the establishment is all in on ushering in a return to police execution squads.

Brazil Will Condemn Itself to Repeat Past if ‘Anti-Gun’ Lula Returns to Power
Just to be Consistent...
“Can you assure Virginians, if you’re elected, that you’ll represent all of them, regardless of faith or beliefs?” Lucas asked Rasoul. [More]
I'm suspicious about the loyalties of anyone who advances the disarmament of Americans.
I wonder if all the outraged virtue signalers would be consistently indignant with all Constitutionally-protected religions.

Texas Passes Bill to Remove NFA Suppressor Requirements for ‘Made in Texas’ Cans [More]
It's far from being signed into law, and the feds have already exhaustively signaled how they will treat any state "firearms freedom" initiatives.

Closer to Home
Hudson City School District has initiated an internal investigation, and police were contacted after a group of high school students allegedly made racist and homophobic comments while playing a phone app video game. [More]
You'll forgive me if I'm not noticing a, you know, crime here...?
The Wokeness is everywhere. The well-heeled white people here even elected a gun-grabbing state representative.

That's Gratitude For You
How the U.S. and NRA Assisted the Allied Effort in WWII [More]
If the American people then could have seen what Europe has become now, and how gun owners are almost universally disparaged by the descendants of the saved, I wonder how many would have been willing to make such sacrifices.

Collaborators
After repeated ATF warnings, gun dealers can count on the agency to back off; sometimes firearms flow to criminals [More]
Yet for others, it is merciless. Which raises another set of questions altogether on directed priorities.
I know ad hominem judgments are logical fallacies, but past credibility issues raised with a USA Today / The Trace collaboration should certainly inform any objectivity conclusions we draw from this report.

'Smart' Politics
Glenn Youngkin, GOP nominee for Virginia governor, goes mum on guns and abortion [More]
But...but...but he's always showed such commitment to principle...
And who hasn't heard this disingenuous excuse-making every time the party proffers a weasel?
But some conservative Republicans — hungry for a win after losing every statewide contest for the past dozen years — seem to be greeting Youngkin’s messaging shift as a smart way to appeal to a wider, general-election audience.
Who else are we gonna vote for, right? Eat it and be grateful.
And for some industrial-grade weasel-wording, how's this for an excuse for refusing to answer NRA's questionnaire?
Youngkin’s campaign spokesperson Macaulay Porter provided the following statement Wednesday. "Glenn is a gunowner and a lifetime member of the NRA who will defend Virginians' Second Amendment rights. That’s one reason conservatives and groups like The Middle Resolution are supporting him. Politicians love to fill out surveys, but just like President Trump, Glenn isn’t a politician and isn’t spending all his time filling out surveys. Glenn is traveling Virginia, meeting with voters, and telling them exactly what he believes. The best way to protect your Second Amendment rights is to nominate Glenn so he can win in November. "
Oh, well, then I take back everything I said.

We're the Only Ones Unsupportive Enough
Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo stressed Tuesday that police departments across the nation do not support a Texas gun bill that would allow adults to carry a handgun without having a background check, license and training. “From chiefs to sheriffs to police labor, we do not support permit-less, open carry” measures, said Acevedo, the former Houston Police chief.

Speaking of the bill, an email sent out yesterday by Texas Gun Rights said:

I'll need to look into this "Party Over Country" nonsense when I get some time. I'm getting a definite "Lincoln Club" vibe that they attract useful idiots who have no idea what the communists want to do to them once they are designated as useless eaters.

That's Kind of How Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith Felt
Eric, of course, is a "progressive" violence monopolist who hopes to swindle enough people out of their birthrights to make that a reality. Based on all the agreeing comments from useful idiots, he's making "progress."The 2nd Amendment will not protect you from the government.

Guess what one of his major campaign issues is:
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
