NRA Director(s) Joining Action in New York Case Could Bolster Intervenor Chances

[L]egal sources have told AmmoLand News that this additional intervention will strengthen the Intervenors’ standing to press their claims on behalf of the NRA’s membership. [More]

Now we have to see if the judge agrees, which we should know in less than a week.

Doin' the Best I Can with What I Got

 I'm running late and still have much to do as meatspace encroaches on my time here, so I've got to consolidate tips I have time to address into one post, and forego the title puns and comments, as much as some are begging for them.

Just Take the 30 Seconds

 Please add your name to our pre-written letter to the ATF to demand an IMMEDIATE withdrawal of their rules on pistol braces. [More]

I did.

For those of you who won't take 30 seconds because you say it's waste of time and won't change their minds on this, perhaps and perhaps not. That said, a difference between a thousand responses and a million may cause some pushing things to take notice and rethink how much harder they're willing to keep pushing.

Supermarket Sweep

 Police in New Zealand kill "extremist" who stabbed six in supermarket ... The attacker, a Sri Lankan national who had been in New Zealand for 10 years, was inspired by the Islamic State militant group and was being monitored constantly, Ardern said. [More]

Not constantly enough.

Just like here: "Rigorous!"

I see they embrace the same foolish bullshit that enables Robb to partner with Dan Gross, back Hillary supporters, and dismiss the greatest threat with a "single issue" deflection.

Who's Running This Show?

 Ragon said that the teachers’ union and teachers had deep concerns about parents recording them in class. [More]

We keep coming back to horses and hounds, don't we?

"What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."

Back in the Straddle Again

 A late 1800s brothel that outlaw Butch Cassidy and his gang are believed to have used as a hideout could soon be declared a historic landmark... The area also was the city’s late 1800s red-light prostitution district ... Famed marshal Wyatt Earp is said to have been co-owner of a saloon — one of dozens of theaters, bars and brothels... [More]

It wasn't all Hop Sing scolding Hoss in the kitchen for sneaking doughnuts and Lucas McCain piling up corpses, was it? The bell and the pop-up "Trifecta!" caption crack me up.

The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant called “mu.” It has mutations that have the potential to evade immunity provided by a previous Covid-19 infection or vaccination, the WHO said.

Death By 'Fact Check'

  Once the CDC sponsors “research” that purports to back up the agenda of anti-Second Amendment extremists, Silicon Valley can then take action to silence Second Amendment supporters, on the grounds that they are peddling “misinformation.” [More]
