Is the Fat Lady Ready to Sing Yet?

That was my reaction when I heard that exchange.

Stop Him Before He Kills Again!

Alec Baldwin Calls for Police to Monitor Weapon Safety on Sets After ‘Rust’ Tragedy [More]

Shoot someone, demand "gun control."

Can the antis get more bizarre?

Where Credit is Due

This is where the battle is going and you can help throw up roadblocks to the gun grabbers for free. Donations to our OFF’s Political Action Committee qualify for a tax credit, which is even better than a deduction. [More]

If you're an Oregon gun owner you shouldn't need some guy from Ohio pleading with you on this.

Stockholm Syndrome

 Since 2018 Sweden Has Seen Nearly 1,300 Shootings, 169 Fatal [More]

I wonder how many of the attackers have names like Sven and Lars...

We're the Only Ones F***in' 'em Up Enough

  It was five days after George Floyd was killed, and an unmarked white van of cops were told to go out and “f*** ’em up.” So they did. [More]

Like I said, sometimes it's a struggle...

 German Insurance Companies Demand Perilous Playgrounds So That Kids Can Learn About Risk [More]

Now apply that to the antis demanding avoidance and ignorance, and responsible gun owners providing their children with development-appropriate exposure and training.

Not Too Cerebral Cortez

 George Floyd’s nephew, Cortez Rice, makes a claim that he knows people taking photos of jurors during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His goal is to dox jurors if they do not convict. [More]

Jury tampering and intimidation is a crime. Start messing with judges and expect totally disproportional pushback.  So, why hasn't this terrorist been arrested?

That's one jury duty summons a lot of people wouldn't try to get out of.

Some might even want to know what this in-way-over-his-head loudmouth eats for breakfast

If at First You Don't Succeed

 Cook County commissioners voted Thursday to amend a guns and ammunition tax that was found unconstitutional by the Illinois Supreme Court, aiming to give the measure another lifeline by designating that money for violence prevention. [More]

The Song of Hiawatha

 Allege that sweeping ban is discriminatory: “SB 21-116 sweeps derisive, neutral, and honorific uses of Native American names and imagery together into the universal term “American Indian mascot” …. SB 21-116 unlawfully enacts state-sanctioned race discrimination against Plaintiffs.” [More]

Hoist with your own petard, eh, woke "progressives"?

Death of a Salesman

 Poster boy for U.S. gun control movement kills himself in jail on DUI charge: Mark Glaze, 51, who helped Obama write policy and took on NRA 'was suffering from depression' [More]

So you don't need a gun to do it, and no amount of government control short of putting everyone in s straight jacket and a padded room will stop someone who is determined?

What a study in cognitive dissonance:

  • A "safety advocate" saying he wanted to save lives endangered them through irresponsible drunk driving.
  • Someone demanding controls on you and me could (or would) not control himself.
  • What he really loathed turned out to be himself. He spent his professional life trying to "correct" everything but that. It's fair to wonder if the fixation on guns was because he knew what he might do with one.
He did do one thing I partially and qualifiedly approved of:

“If true that you are attempting to intervene in the work we are doing with celebrities on Demand A Plan and drive them toward Brady: don’t,” MAIG Executive Director Mark Glaze told Brady Campaign President Dan Gross in no uncertain terms via email.

To be clear, that was not a request. That was an order.
Anybody who wants to slap Rob's buddy around gets a thumbs-up -- on that -- from me...

Freedom of the 'Press'

 At least eight people died and scores more were injured when chaos, including a crowd crush, broke out during opening night of rapper Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in Texas Friday, authorities said. A mass of concertgoers at Houston’s NRG Park “began to compress”... [More]

Hit 'em Where It Hurts

 We graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology more than 50 years ago. MIT was academically rigorous, and it taught us our crafts and the essence of problem-solving, enabling us to thrive in our careers. We owe much to our alma mater and have donated to it regularly.

Interesting juxtaposition of military priorities...

Who says the cult died at Jonestown? I'm interested in learning more about when Harvey "indulge[d] in outing — to advance his political career."

A Plan Comes Together

Gov. DeSantis Slams Biden Admin Over Illegal “Dumped” In Florida And Alleged To Commit Murder - These flights are ‘secret and stealth’ and the state of Florida has no warning that they (illegal immigrants) are being resettled here, because private non-profit, sometimes religious agencies, are being utilized—and are paid in grants funded by the federal government—to take the immigrants and resettle them throughout the state of Florida... [More]

Blocked Shots

A U.S. federal appeals court issued a stay Saturday freezing the Biden administration's efforts to require workers at U.S. companies with at least 100 employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly, citing "grave statutory and constitutional" issues with the rule. [More]

It's telling, how many "news reports" find it necessary to emphasize "Republican-appointed judges."

Will there be any crossover principles applicable to those fighting military dischargesThey seem to be the right age...

Stopped in Its Tracks?

 Gun control legislation isn’t going to happen. Here’s what Biden’s doing instead. [More]

Spending a ton of your money on crap that won't work...

I wouldn't be so quick to declare disarmament dead in the water. It's not hard to envision all kinds of exploited scenarios that would spook a critical mass of Republican "staunch supporters"...

Child shot following argument at Seffner gas station ... Deputies say Monroe is an eight-time convicted felon. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated battery, attempted murder in the first-degree, discharge firearm from a vehicle, shooting into a vehicle, and felon in possession of a firearm. [More]

Let's all hear it for the effectiveness of "prohibited person" laws!

And to think some racist right-wing extremist domestic terrorist nazis say it's not the guns! I can't tell you how many times I've shot somebody's kid because a parent p!$$ed me off...

There ought'a be a law...

'Settled Science'

 Covid-19 Vaccines and Myocarditis Link Probed by Researchers - Several theories are under investigation seeking to explain heart-inflammation conditions among small numbers of vaccinated [More]

And it gets worse "within seven days of the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines"?

"Researchers aren’t certain" means they don't know. They also don't know if that number will still be "small" a year from now, or two, or five...

It's a Big Club and You May Be In It

 The Biden administration in just the past year alone stockpiled the records of more than 54 million U.S. gun owners and is poised to drastically alter gun regulations to ensure that information on Americans who own firearms ultimately ends up in the federal government's hands, according to internal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

That's a lot of boating accidents...

I wonder how many are these guys...?

And They Say There Are No Stupid Questions

 Can Public Health Tools Really Help Prevent Gun Violence? [Watch]

Posted for those of you who have an extra four minutes to once more corroborate that the idiots in charge and the idiots "reporting" don't have a clue as to real causes, which they're a part of, and real solutions, which they're not...

For those who just want to cut to the chase, no, of course not. They're wringing their hands like they deeply care, angling for more tax plunder, and once more trying to shift the blame.

Pigs in Pokes

 This was crushing news for constitutional conservatives who had fought so hard for the confirmations of Barrett and Kavanaugh against an unhinged progressive onslaught. [More]

Yeah, well, as long as confirmation hearings are treated more like pre-coronation ceremonies and less like job interviews, continue to be crushed and act surprised by it.

I hope my caution on premature chops-licking turns out to be subjective worrying, but I see a lot of unhatched chickens being counted on the Bruen case.

One Small Step

 The City of Boston has settled a federal lawsuit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation and other plaintiffs over delays in accepting and processing licenses to carry a firearm, and has agreed to pay $10,000 to cover attorneys’ fees and costs. [More]

Yeah, I know it's a game of increments, but wake me when a lawsuit overturns permits to exercise a right, and the bastards requiring them are personally held liable for damages.

[A] Cleveland Police lieutenant has filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the chief, the safety director and two other police supervisors, saying he was removed as head of the bomb squad for reporting a man offering a bribe... The lawsuit says the chief “has a personal relationship with defendant Montague that can be likened to the two treating each other like family members.” [More]

Establishment Republicans Drawing Wrong Conclusions from Virginia Wins

It’s not so much good that Youngkin won as that McAuliffe lost, but a repeat performance for other candidates is not guaranteed if party pundits and campaign advisors keep giving gun owners reasons not to get excited. [More]

Embracing "moderation" and demoralizing supporters is no way to maintain a winning momentum.
