A Plan Comes Together?

 Virginia GOP sees Youngkin as chance to reverse party course [More]

I'm smelling a "bipartisan effort" to get rid of the "principles freaks" and become the party of compromising Vichycons! The narrative will be it's not because of the disaster the Dems make of everything they touch, but that it's a referendum against Trump, and stupid "moderates" in Party "leadership" will fall for it.

The Lullaby of Gun Shots

Those who want your guns also want you to sleep.

It's a Big Club and They'll Kill to Keep You Out

Lindsey Graham told police to shoot 6 January rioters on the spot, report says - ‘We give you guns for a reason. Use them’ [More]

Nice to know where he ultimately stands and what he's willing to do to keep it that way. 

The big problem, though, is how would they keep from shooting their own guys?

That Which Can't Be Granted

  When that legal disarmament day comes though, the tough guy GOP politicians will shrug and say, “the courts decreed. It’s the law.” They will tuck tail and distance themselves from prior rhetoric. Framing gun rights as a natural right in an age of personal firepower and lax law enforcement will gird all of the right for this moment. [More]

No matter how many useful idiots, political poltroons, or robed Nazgûl vote on some things, provided he will is there to say "No" and mean it...

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

Otherwise, in a few years, this may be meaningless.

A Better Life for All!

 Man in the US illegally accused of stabbing coworker after argument about drinking on the job - He'd previously been handed over to ICE in 2020. Now, he's facing an attempted murder charge. [More]

Government securing the blessings of Liberty again, I see. Where will people turn if they not only can't get justice from their government but realize it is the cause of their misery?

Big Daddy Issues

 The buyback at Mount Moriah Baptist Church on Williston Road was sponsored by the State Attorney’s Office, the Gainesville Police Department, the Save Our City organization and gun shop Big Daddy Unlimited. Big Daddy owner Tony McKnight was giving away safes for individual guns and gun locks. “It’s a community service for us on responsible gun ownership,” McKnight said. [More]

Make all the excuses you want. You know what your "partners" are after and your participation helped  "legitimize" this and them in the eyes of the public.

What, the enemy is going to suddenly embrace and praise you as being reasonable? Fool.

American Marxist Association

 American Medical Association Language Guide Demands Focus On Racial “Equity” And Micromanages Terminology - The AMA again rejects “equality” in favor of “equity” — The AMA is gone. Its influence needs to be minimized, because much like the American Bar Association, it can’t be reformed. [More]

Wait, so what they have to say about guns may be more about agenda and less about science...?

Speaking of Everything Wrong

 EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAPITOL SHOOTING IN 21 MINUTES OR LESS [Watch]

I suppose if you can add your own narration after the fact you can make it seem like just about anything.  That we don't know who is behind this video (their website is registered by proxy) makes it fair to ask who these guys are and what skin they have in the game.

No doubt there were provocateurs exploiting low-hanging fruit. And no doubt there are disinformation spreaders trying to get serious critics looking into that dismissed as tinfoil hat conspiracy kooks.

Your Tax Dollars at Work

 Charleston church shooting victims strike $88 million settlement with Justice Dept. [More]

Hey, if it helps advance the narrative that anyone who doesn't embrace cultural Marxism is a "white supremacist," it's a bargain.

Besides, they can always print more.

The scare tactics start in the headline. So naturally, the "Authorized Journalists" spent a good portion of the article telling everyone why that's a bad idea.

The proof will be on the floor votes and then if DeWine reverts to form.

[Via Jess]

So It's All Interrelated?

 Could a vaccine mandate be used to threaten shooting ranges and gun stores if they allow unvaccinated persons on the premises or to remain members?  Could ranges be forced to close if they refuse to follow Murphy's dictates? Could gun owners be prevented from obtaining permits, new firearms, or transferring used firearms if they are not vaccinated?  How else might Murphy once again use pandemic policies as a convenient excuse to attack the Second Amendment? [More]

I'm delighted to see a state group recognizing that ancillary issues can have direct and devastating effects on RKBA.

Anybody see anything coming out of these guys on that already proven non-"single issue" threat?

We're the Only Ones Spiritual Enough

 “Ghost Gun is a slang term,” explained Scott Riordan, resident agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). “We refer to them as ‘self-made, unserialized firearms.’” [More]

That's funny, Scott. We refer to them as "birthrights."

And tangentially related:

Two charged with illegal manufacturing of “ghost guns” in Pittsfield ... 23-year-old Emmanuel Kodjo and 18-year-old Taylor Bartlett were arrested and charged with unlicensed possession of firearms...

So licensing has no effect on those who don't care about it?
