Memorial Day


Longtime militia and ‘Patriot’ leader Mike Vanderboegh dies at 64  [More]

It's been five years since we lost our brother, friend, and colleague.

Doing the Lord's Work, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style

LEFT ATTACKS WORSHIPPERS AND ATTEMPTS FIREARMS CONFISCATION [More]

So Knutson's the "faith leader" in the facemask in the linked articles communing with satanic commies?

A Good First Step

 Sen. Terry Johnson Introduces Constitutional Carry Bill SB 215 [More]

More like "permitless carry," but it's an improvement.

Funny-- my State Senator, who is a fellow Hudson resident, enjoys pretty good ratings from gun groups but I don't see her name on this as a co-sponsor. Maybe I'll ask why.

Another One Bites the Dust

 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigns over sexual harassment allegations [More]

Grabbing more than guns were we...?

A Valuable Resource

Donate to the Internet Archive [More]

I do, in keeping with my policy of never asking readers to do something I'm not willing to do myself.  I do it for selfish reasons, because until I have the time and resources to retrieve all my past stuff by myself -- and here's but one example among thousands -- they're the only thing keeping it from disappearing forever.

Deeply Disturbing to Who?

 “That was a new and deeply disturbing line of thinking,” said Ari Freilich, the California policy director for the Giffords Law Center. Benitez, he said, seemed to suggest that the 2nd Amendment protects the right of “average people in a civilian militia to make war against their government.” [More]

Yeah, that's the idea. And seeing as how it was one of the selling points for garnering support for the Constitution, there's nothing new about it:

Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger.

As much as some rage against it, the creation doesn't get to call the shots for the Creator.

And it beats getting loaded into cattle cars, Ari.

A Good First Step

Sabatini’s bill, which is still being drafted, will prohibit state agencies from recognizing the USCP, and it will prevent the federal agency from acquiring property in Florida. [More]

Next, there needs to be an appropriations prohibition against the funding of any activities outside the Capitol.

So Who's Really at Fault Here?

 Jamal Danzy, 29, is accused of buying the weapon from a licensed gun dealer in Hammond, Indiana, in March and then providing it to an Illinois resident who Danzy knew could neither buy nor possess guns because of a felony conviction. [More]

So to someone the state knew couldn't be trusted without a custodian...?

Speaking of Apparatchiks...

The CDC messed up the data reporting, and a Florida state representative attacks our state’s Department of Health by calling them “apparatchiks” of  @GovRonDeSantis [More]

So they're playing politics with our lives...?

Isn't that ... what's the word ... evil?

An In-Your-Face '**** You!' to Gun Owners

 H.R.4953 - To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act any semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine. [More]

Yet another attack by a treasonous Deutchbag...

I couldn't find this yet on GovTrack to see their prognosis for this abomination passing, but my bet is it will be under 3% when they get around to posting on it. My prognosis the odds of enforcing it to any meaningful degree will be even less with the odds of active resistance going up the harder they push.

We're the Only Ones Prioritized Enough

 The latest push to loosen gun laws in states across the U.S. has put police officers at odds with Republican lawmakers who usually trumpet support for law enforcement. [More]

Which illustrates exactly why the line "Most police officers support the Second Amendment" is unfounded wishful thinking.

If anybody wants to argue with that, I've got a way that you can try to prove me wrong. Simply walk up to a "pro-gun" cop and tell him you're peaceably carrying a firearm in purposeful noncompliance with infringements.

As the Narrative Turns

 

Why wouldn't they release what they've got? Orders from on high?

I'm still wondering how to find out if reports of magnetic locks that can only be opened from the inside are true.

The 'D' Word

 He is looking at the Rockies’ mascot, which is named “Dinger,” waving to him and calling out his name. [More]

Thing is, even "Dinga" would have been unacceptable for him to use.

Looking for Workarounds

 As directed in the President's gun crime reduction strategy, participants in the convening also discussed how we can hold gun manufacturers and dealers accountable for unlawful conduct while PLCAA is still the law of the land. [More]

Maybe they should bring NSSF on board...

Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy

 Roseville advocate for gun laws swiped cops’ identities for illegal weapons sales [More]

I may make an exception on punishment for "gun law violations" in his case.

What gets me are all those California gun owners who knew what this gunkapo was yet continued to give him their business.

A Pathetic Fallacy

 Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Blames Guns for Bloody Weekend That Claimed Life of Female Police Officer [More]

What childish minds such idiotic rhetoric appeals to.

[Via Michael G]

UPDATE: Looks like Chi-Town "Only Ones" aren't buying her BS either, but for reasons of their own.

So Much for 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws'


Alleged Gang Members Arrested For Spree Of Violent San Jose Crimes [Watch]

At least tell me they had insurance...

A society that breeds such as these cannot survive.

We're the Only Ones Investigated Enough

 “Police officers across the country must use their authority in a manner that adheres to the Constitution, complies with federal civil rights laws and respects human dignity.”  [More]

At least they're being scrutinized by subject matter experts.

Why does Matthew 7:3-5 come to mind...?

'Settled Science'

 Board Certified Physician specially trained in immunology & inflammation regulation confirms vaccines can “let the virus become worse than it would with native infection” due to antibody-mediated viral enhancement. [Watch]

Well, here's a man who needs to be destroyed...

I Wouldn't Start Feeling Invulnerable Quite Yet

 'Ghost Gun' Bans Are Doomed from the Start - The DIY firearms movement specifically evolved to put personal armaments beyond the reach of the government. [More]

Yes, but when you go from "a nation of laws" to "a nation of edicts," a whole new dynamic takes over.

[Via DDS]

With Friends Like These...

 “Retailers that ignore the law are participating in criminal activity and NSSF wants those individuals to be held responsible for their actions..." [More]

So "gun rights leader" NSSF's position is to enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

[Via DDS]

An Unexpected 'Ally'

 New York’s Attorney General Shouldn’t Dismantle the NRA - By seeking such an extreme remedy, the progressive state sends the message that conservative political organizations are not welcome. [More] (I had to open link in incognito window to bypass paywall)

"Mercy" advocacy coming from Bloomberg?

As for that latter observation, what is this guy, a useful idiot who doesn't realize that no views not handed down by the Party are "welcome"  -- or will be allowed once enough power is usurped.

The Friend of My Enemy

 Mexico Sues Everyone BUT The Company They Ordered Machine Guns From [Watch]

Don't expect State under the Democrats to get involved.

And don't expect SIG to take it on themselves to now do the right thing and reject the purchase. Without pressure.

[ViaJess]

UPDATE: 
Called Sig today to ask them to follow the Ronnie Barrett example and not do business with Mexico. Rep said they were getting calls.

Or perhaps more effectively, here.
