For the Children

 The sheriff's office released new details about a deadly home invasion where a 12-year-old shot and killed the person breaking into a family's home this week. [More]

Those observing mandated "safe storage laws" would have experienced a completely different outcome.

Ditto for those who teach their children ignorance instead of development-appropriate knowledge.

Quote of the Day

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. [More]

Try the veal.

Keep Quiet Or Else

 How would anyone know if the suppressor is possessed with a tax stamp or not, unless the possessor is in the habit of bragging about not having a tax stamp, or if they broadcast their possession of an unregulated suppressor on social media? [More]
Oh, they have their ways of finding out...

In any case, that's no way for a free American to exercise his rights, counting on not getting caught and having his life destroyed if he does. Wake me when state law empowers the Texas Rangers to arrest any fed attempting to infringe on the right of Texans to keep and bear arms.

Committed to Doing It Wrong

Families mourn, police seek answers after spate of holiday weekend slayings across Richmond region. [More]

So "spate" no longer means "three"?

And what "answers"? I thought Richmond was "problem solved" like Philly...?

What does this tell us about all that "historic gun safety legislation" ushered in by the Jorge Party?

Can We All Get Along?

  Studies show that all you need is a ten-minute non-confrontational encounter with a person from a different background to dispel stereotyping and prejudice.  [More]

And if they choose to start a confrontation...?

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Report

 The FBI has infiltrated a "Bible study" group in Virginia that after the January 6 riot had members discussing surveilling the US Capitol and their wish for secession from the US, and investigators closely followed one member's plans to build and test Molotov cocktails, according to recently unsealed court records. [More]

Maybe they ought to call the program Headlines for Heroes...

Securing the Blessings of Liberty One Ruined Life at a Time

 Garfield man sentenced to 2 years in federal prison after building a red, white and blue cannon in his garage [More]

He obviously had no malicious or furtive intent with a soda CANnon. Now how is his mother going to get by?

What kind of evil bastards would destroy people over this?

We're the Only Ones Needy Enough

 'I need those guns put down': SPD chief pleads with city after surge in shootings [More]

When hasn't a collective proven to be the solution to all of life's problems?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Infringed' Is

 "I carry a gun wherever I go today. Wherever I'm allowed to, I do carry." [More]

And therein lies the problem.

We're the Only Ones Branching Out Enough

[T]he U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are now planning to expand operations outside Washington “beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida” but the plan is to open “several additional regional offices.” [More]

Just think: Soon they'll be able to kill American citizens and withhold the names of their executioners everywhere, in Everytown...

Countdown

THE TEN STAGES OF GENOCIDE [More]

Why does anyone need a "weapon of war"?

[Via bondmen]

Who's the Boss?

 Truly, the debate over gun ownership in America is really a debate over who gets to call the shots and control the game. [More]

Nukes and F-15s notwithstanding...

Hands Up, Don't Shoot!

 Democratic donor Ed Buck injected drugs into passed out sex partners, prosecutors say [More]

And he was killing unarmed black men...?

Speaking of Putting 'Weapons of War On the Streets'...

Sky News Shows Taliban Seizing Abandoned US Bases & "Treasure Trove" Of Weapons, Ammo [More]

So the same government that would ruin your life over having one of these babies ends up being a huge supplier of sworn foreign enemies?

Ah well, at least Thoroughly Modern Milley has his priorities straight.

Plus think of all the ITAR paperwork this saves!

Now let's get back to finding ways to disarm our vets.

Ace in the Hole

 Hunter’s laptop is being held for when they decide to get rid of Joe. The leaks are just to remind everyone it’s out there. Well, everyone except for Joe. He won’t remember for long anyway. [More]

You know, "The Others"...

Coming Soon, to a Third World Hellhole Near You

As many as 10,000 migrants from places like Mauritania, Senegal, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, India, Haiti, and Cuba have passed through this borderland since January 2021, one knowledgeable local smuggler said. Other reporting indicates that a massive new swell is underway among distant peoples sensing the Biden administration has opened the border wide. [More]

Why would they want to risk it all to come to such a racist place?

And what could go wrong?

Good thing this also has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

So Much for Room Service

Iowa man arrested after firearms found in Chicago hotel room overlooking July 4 festivities [More]

Lightfoot hysteria notwithstanding, this is shaping up to be more of a story of individual poor judgment followed by official overreaction.

Here's an overview profile and at this writing, you can still access his Facebook page.

Enough Blame to Go Around

 The San Antonio-based judge found Kelley only 40% responsible for the shooting.  [More]

So "gun criminals" who qualify can take that ruling and get 60% off their sentences...?

I guess His Honor has never read weekend headlines out of Chicago if he thinks "background checks" will stop a determined predator. In case you're wondering about this idiot judge, he was nominated by the "Vote Freedom First President."

And in case you're wondering how the Air Force's admission was broken loose...

Show Me the Man

[T]he lead detective in this case, David Fugitt, was specifically instructed not to tell grand jurors that the State was in possession of evidence that would indicate that witnesses who claimed that the deceased, Garrett Foster, did not begin to raise his AK-47 assault rifle toward Sgt. Perry were not in a position to see Foster at the time of the incident and that any testimony they might provide would be false and perjurious. The detective was likewise instructed to amend demonstrative evidence that was to be presented to the grand jury (cutting the presentation by more than sixty percent) to remove exculpatory evidence after the demonstrative aid was presented to prosecutors for review. [More]

You can find out more about Sgt. Perry and help him here.

What needs to be done about having him swap places with Det. Fugitt and the prosecutor is another matter.
