No Wonder He Can Afford to Go After Our Guns
Record Highs
Homicides in Virginia hit highest levels in two decades [More]
Wasn't Lori Haas just crowing about how she and her gaggle of gun-grabbers have "now enacted some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country over the past two years"?

The Source is the Enemy
When the most knowledgeable and experienced lie about facts that are easily discovered, there is widespread corruption. [More]
T.L. Davis assesses the ideological battlespace.
Could They Crow Any Louder?
“Tonight’s results reaffirm Virginia voters’ commitment to gun violence prevention. In 2013, Terry McAuliffe proudly touted his ‘F’ rating from the NRA in his successful first gubernatorial run. By running and winning on a platform of gun violence prevention, he changed the political calculus and empowered campaigns across Virginia to emulate his winning gun violence prevention stance. As a result, Virginians elected a gun violence prevention majority to the General Assembly, and Virginia has now enacted some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country over the past two years. [More]
Gee, I wonder how that happened? Thanks, "gun groups"!
And "domestic terror organization"? Well, no wonder, considering who they invite to speak.
Even if it weren't too late, Youngkin will ignite fires in no bellies.

An Empty Threat?
The business owners threaten to withhold tax and permit payments, placing those funds into an escrow account, if the city doesn’t respond to their request. [More]
Try it and you'll see how fast they can send out militarized responders in force to stamp out the threat and cow everyone else into behaving...

UnDaunted
As ex-Minnesota police officer Kim Potter is out on $100,000 bond, awaiting a manslaughter trial in the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, victims of his alleged gun violence are still reeling from trauma and top Democrats who flocked to his funeral have gone quiet. [More]
Looks like there's a bump on the road to canonization.
Is any one of them not a "gun sense voter" candidate?

I haven't been this flush since my deal with MR. FRANKY SAMORA!
Eye in the Sky
Malaysian police are using drones which can check temperatures from as high as 20 meters above ground in the latest example of coronavirus population control. [More]
I'm not buying it. Sounds like a scare tactic to me.
Change my mind.

We're the Only Ones Qualified Enough
When Stemware is Outlawed...
Freudian Slip
Official Talking Points
Getting the word out and making sure everyone is on the same page...
The Washington Post, USA Today, and virtually every legacy outlet ran the same spin. And spin it was because Judge Benitez’s opener, noting that “like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment,” provided but a simple illustration of a minor point ... [More]
The DSM is focusing on the analogy because they've got nothing else and because average citizenship malpractitioners -- the same ones who answer polls saying they're "for" the "commonsense gun safety law" du jour -- won't grok that the feigned outrage is central to the con.

On the Rebound
When Bratcher fired the 3 warning shots he pointed the gun downwards as he was verbally commanding Hardwick to stop. This would have to do with his extensive military background and years of training. Serving in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, he was more then equipped to fire warning shots so much that only “one bullet aimed down” struck Hardwick. [More]
So he never played pool? Or banked one off the backboard? What kind of "extensive military ... training" teaches you to do that?
We talked about this yesterday and I'm still not clear on if the fatal shot went through the door first, in which case I'd have my lawyer put Joe Biden on the stand.
There's a lot about this story that's not intuitively adding up, and for some reason, I'm getting a vibe that an exploitable "unequal" outcome on "stand your ground" to gin up more outraged racial divisiveness is the goal of those controlling and "reporting on" things...

Shame If Somethin' HAPPENED To It...
“We have confirmed that there are five pallets of shrink-wrapped ballots in a county warehouse,” Favorito said in an interview with RealClearInvestigations. [More]
I can see the headline now: "Faulty Wiring Blamed in Fulton Repository Fire."
I'd say "station a guard" but then remember Epstein had two...
Much Ado About Nothing
In her ruling, Kagan wrote that lawful permanent residency requires "admission" into the U.S., which the court defined as “the lawful entry of the alien into the United States after inspection and authorization by an immigration officer.” [More]
So does that make the catch-and-release of the multitudes apprehended and assigned future court dates and/or sent to tax-funded accommodations "lawful entries"? What kind of "public assistance" are those like the plaintiff eligible for? He's been here since '97. Got any "Dreamers" or "birthright citizens" with him? And how many millions like him intend to bypass the courts altogether?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue." Just ask any "gun rights" group.
