Putting Knowledge into Practice

“Laney spent her life in the outdoors and was an experienced and knowledgeable operator in the back country." [More]

I know plenty of people less experienced and knowledgeable about the Colorado backcountry who would nonetheless be better prepared for the lethal dangers it presents.

I've explained many times before why a "shall not be infringed" hardliner supports a group that teaches gun dealers how to comply. There's no inconsistency with that -- listen in and find out why.

Who but someone with "Only One" training would even think of such a rotten thing to do to someone?

Foul Ball

 Do ATF Special Agents Go To Inaugural Balls? [More]

I'm sure we could all go a couple different ways with that...

So Much for Freedom of Conscience

Because Mike committed  the unforgivable sin of leaving the building he works in by opening a door, the full force of the left is being rained down on him. He has been stripped of committee assignments, locked out of his own workplace unless he daily asks for permission, pilloried in the press and is now facing criminal charges. [More]

Which makes the betrayal by squish Republicans all the more unforgivable...

The more I think about this, being compelled to show up so that your enemies can pass edicts you oppose really does seem to be a First Amendment issue.

Brown Lives Shatter

 Denver School Board director-at-large Tay Anderson, a fervent Black Lives Matter activist, is accused of molesting over 60 undocumented students, using the residency status of the children to target kids as young as 14-years-old. [More]

Give it a few years and he'll be portrayed as the victim of haters.

Minority Report

 He invited them into this home. And when he did, they told McDaniel something he could hardly believe: an algorithm built by the Chicago Police Department predicted — based on his proximity to and relationships with known shooters and shooting casualties — that McDaniel would be involved in a shooting. That he would be a “party to violence,” but it wasn’t clear what side of the barrel he might be on. He could be the shooter, he might get shot. They didn’t know. But the data said he was at risk either way. [More]

You never invite a vampire to cross your threshold.

And for heaven's sake, don't talk to them.

Insult to Injury

 In his ruling, McMahon wrote that the board would “suffer immediate and irreparable injury” if the law was allowed to go into effect before the case could proceed.  [More]

So if someone suffers real immediate and irreparable injury in the interim, what kind of personal accountability will he and the board have?

Takin' It to the Streets

"We plan to appeal this disappointing decision, and we fully intend to beat back these irresponsible partisan attacks against the governor in the courts, on the streets, or at the ballot." [More]

If Trump had said that, he'd have been convicted. And speaking of which, who's in the mood for a good purge for a change?

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

There are undoubtedly moments that police officers rightfully need firearms, and the hard question is how to limit access to those moments. Technology provides a means: Guns could be kept in smart lockboxes. [More]

You get the feeling ol' Brian here thinks he's a lot smarter than he is? I'd pay money to see him demonstrate.

Maybe he should run this by one of those "benevolent associations"...

And "Only Ones" take note. Some of us have been warning you for years that your turn in the barrel would come and asking if you're sure you want to alienate the very people most likely to be receptive to an alliance...

Coming Soon to a Fundamentally Transformed Estado Near You


In Mexico, cartels are hunting down police at their homes [More]

That's one way of "defunding" them.

But it could never happen here, right, and the best way to prevent it will be by enforcing "commonsense gun safety laws"...?

You'll Kill and You'll Like It

With the effective destruction of the Hippocratic Oath, doctors who wish to follow the Oath’s maxims of not participating in abortion or assisted suicide are in danger of being kicked out of the lifeboat by the World Medical Association. [More]

That and you'll commit to prescribing disarmed submission.

More like the World Mengele Association...

UPDATE

Harvard-affiliated physicians want to deliver 'preferential care based on race' 

Yep. Mengele it is.

You'll Get No Argument from Me

From WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess, via email:

I read somewhere, a few days ago, that the reason that there were so many people to be interviewed at that congressional hearing last week, was so that no one could get a good grilling, particularly Chipman. Might I suggest that if the commie-dims try to pull that shit again, our side will automatically vote no on all the others and only question the turd that they really want to light up.Chipman, in this case. Of course this would first require a spine implantation for a number of those that are allegedly on our side.

The operative word being "allegedly"...

I'm waiting for Susan Collins to drop one in the punch bowl.

At Issue

Now, I don’t really have an issue with ... Acevedo’s call to ensure that violent felons found in possession of a firearm face serious prison time. [More]

I do.

And I wouldn't be siding with Acevedo on any part of this.

Do you really believe you can control that genie once it's outside the bottle? And now that you've told everyone you think some "gun control" works, you've just "legitimized" the grabbers to go for more whether you meant to or not. Do you really believe you can limit it to just the "violent"? 

Besides, it's easier to become a "violent felon" than most think:

Maybe you mouth off about your "rights". We'll assume you're luckier than Don Scott, the Weavers, and the little kiddies at Waco, so the police merely beat you and claim you attacked them. Besides a gun "crime," you're also convicted of a "violent crime".

Good luck fighting his and his partners' word in court -- especially if you have limited means -- and good luck trying to "legally" own a gun without fear of arrests with "enhancements" after that.

How about we get some "Supreme Law" with Bill of Rights enforcement before our "gun rights leaders" stir up their followers to demand more "order"...? Convincing a critical mass this is about "crime" plays into the hands of those who know it's really about power.

A Sign of the Times

HOA demands Raleigh woman's Black Lives Matter sign be removed, neighbors rally in support [More]

So CC&Rs, the contractual obligations everyone voluntarily signed up for, can be ignored to force everyone who didn't "rally" to take a knee?

Well, hey, it's only property and everybody knows communism trumps that.

Actually, this would make a fine opportunity for someone to hang a Gadsden flag and then take them to court. 

And why did Eyewitless News reach out to the management company? They're replaceable functionaries reporting to a homeowners' board of directors.

Did I ever tell you about Witless and Titless?

A Red Letter Day

 

This is good reporting. Which is why you won't hear about it from the DSM...

This is how "it" will all begin. It's also the best argument for private sales I've seen. 

Funny, how LE is all concerned about Hunter Biden's privacy...

Here's a relevant Reddit thread.

Here's an account from the law firm behind that post.

Truer Words Were Never Spoken

 “None of you get your rights from your government; you get your rights merely because you’re a child of God. The government is there to protect those God-given rights. No other government has been based on that notion. No one can defeat us except us.” [More]

Seems to me he gives us daily opportunities to throw those words right back in his face...

To smile and say

An Open Door Policy

 If a door is locked by a mag lock it cannot be opened from the outside or the inside unless the person controlling that door opens that door by turning off the magnetic lock which those doors according to the photos I took are equipped with. [More]

That shouldn't be hard to verify, not that the DSM with the resources has any interest in altering the narrative. Who would be the friendliest congressperson to ask and who has a way to actually contact them? How else could this be determined? A FOIA request with the Architect of the Capitol? Finding a vendor supplier/servicing contract?

Newsflash: Offing yourself isn't the same as "passing away."

The DSM... is it any wonder I love them so?

Yeah, he was white, but since he wasn't a "conservative," they can't advance their prime directive and smear him as a "white supremacist," so you don't see this getting the headlines a narrative advancer would.

Information Held Back on Miami ‘Mass Shootings’ as Acevedo Pounces

 

With the public still in danger from such ruthless and now desperate predators being on the loose, one would think descriptions of the suspects would be in order. There were plenty of survivors at both incidents who no doubt have provided authorities with details, and sharing those could only help increase the chances that someone might make a sighting worth investigating. Instead, and no surprise here, Miami’s gun prohibitionist police chief is blaming “gun laws” and calling for more of them. [More]

Once more political correctness and agenda take precedence over public safety.  Leave it to useful idiots like ingrate Art Acevedo -- a refugee who escaped Casto's Cuba and now tries to mandate that communist tyrant's "¿Armas para que?" crap in the country that took him in -- to ensure that the homicidal violence will only spread.
