The War on Guns: 10/13/21

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:

The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.

About "The Only Ones"

The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.

A Matter of Timing

[T]he president may have even have funded his son's 2018 drug and prostitution binge... [More]

2018? The year he bought his gun and said on the 4473 he had no controlled substance issues...?

It Must Be Raining. I Feel It Down My Back.

Now, however, the Second Amendment is back before a U.S. Supreme Court that features the strongest majority of originalists in modern times. [More]

And let me guess: Dolly's beau is the head originalist...?

Not that you're allowed to know who Skirty is so you can protect your children...

I guess they really don't want anyone thinking globally and acting locally...

The Plot Thickens

The Murdaugh family has dominated headlines in South Carolina since June, when Alex Murdaugh’s wife and younger son were both found dead. Since then, the case has had many twists and turns, including claims of drug use, embezzlement, unexplained deaths and the latest development: the suicide-for-hire insurance scheme. [More]

I knew there were plenty of reasons why you and I shouldn't be armed.

Anybody see any here?

An Act of War

Mexican Cartel Seen Firing Machine Guns Into US, Above National Guard Recon Post [More]

What, no retaliatory airstrike?

Seems to me if we say "Jump," the corruptocrats running the country ought to be asking "¿Qué tan alto?"

It comes down to who they want to be in bed with/who they fear the most.

The only thing that could stop that is the corruptocrats running our country.

But Fear Itself

[T]he U.S. government, aided by mainstream media outlets, has weaponized fear to full effect. [More]

Mr. Herbert would like a word with us.

We'd be nuts not to be afraid. We'd be unworthy if we let that rule us.

Oct 12 2021 Motion of the Acting Solicitor General for leave to participate in oral argument as amicus curiae, for divided argument, and for enlargement of time for oral argument GRANTED. [More]
