Some States Making JPMorgan Chase Pay for Anti-Gun Discrimination

If the Republicans can succeed in not blowing a return to majority power, gun owners should demand they hold banks to the same non-discrimination policies as the above-cited states are enacting. [More]
Why would it be in gun owners' interests to have government support their antagonists?

Slowing Down

 I'm getting ready for tomorrow and also have an article I need to finish, so that's it for blog posts today unless I see something of mine already in the hopper get published.

Try to hold off on new stuff until Friday, okay?

Nothing a Mentoring Grant Won't Cure

 The 36-year-old suspect, identified as Hubert Wiggs, is now charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and menacing. Law enforcement believes Wiggs, who was out on parole at the time and has several gun arrests, is a member of a family of reputed gang members. [More]

Change my mind.

Just Say 'No'

 Don’t expect that to happen anytime soon however. Mexico’s government has until January 31st of next year to respond to the gunmakers, which means that the earliest we could reasonably expect the judge to issue his ruling would be sometime in February or (more likely) March of 2022. [More]

A president and Congress with cojones could put a stop to this nonsense in short order.

And that includes the border issue.

We're the Only Ones Refusing Enough

 Blackwell, according to the lawsuit, refused the order after he determined the removal of the monuments was illegal at a time the order was given. Blackwell, according to the lawsuit, referenced Virginia Code 15.2-1812, which made "it unlawful for the authorities of [a] locality, or any other person or persons, to disturb or interfere with any monuments or memorials for any war or conflict." [More]

Were there any other orders he would tell his officer not to obey because they were unlawful?

What Difference Does It Make?

 But there was a lot to see there and elsewhere throughout the country: It was just hidden or, in some cases, destroyed. And while nothing will change the fact that Joe Biden is president, election integrity matters and Kemp’s letter is but the latest proof that it must be shored up in America. [More]

Why, if "nothing can be done" when they cheat and seize power? What's their incentive to not keep doing it?

Full of It

 Fauci is now saying that being “fully vaccinated” may mean getting a booster shot as well. Previously, Fauci said that being “fully vaccinated” meant receiving two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or a single shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. [More]

I'm wondering at what point a critical mass is going to get fully fed up with being lied to and jacked around.

Everything about this story screams "Take our guns!"

No?

Why They Hate Kyle Rittenhouse

The title does not do this piece justice in terms of all that it encompasses. It covers much more than that and offers some insights between the letter of the law and the machinations of the hidden hands that need to be considered.  [More]

With Reckless Abandon

 A reckless driver in Vacaville was allegedly trying to run over pedestrians... [More]

Been a while since we heard from Inigo...

Funny... I look at "Unknown Victim #1" and #2 in the video and ... wait ... no photos of suspect Jaron King?

Never mind. I'm probably just being presumptuous and judgmental.

Position du Jour

 Governor-elect vows to strike down vaccine, mask mandates in January [More]

So what the hell is this about?

And is that all he's going to strike down?

Looks Like a Gunquack, Walks Like a Gunquack, Quacks Like a Gunquack...

 Say doc, doesn’t say much when the “public health approach” to violence prevention is having your own people run around in stolen cars with guns they shouldn’t be in possession of in the first place and doing illegal things with them... [More]

Like I said yesterday...

Speaking of Dropping the Ball...

Let’s examine the massacre at Parkland High in 2018. Prior to the shooting that took seventeen lives, the FBI received a telephone tip that the eventual shooter, Nikolas Cruz, had purchased guns and planned to shoot up a school. “I know he’s going to explode,” the caller warned... Just like that, the Feebs had the perp, the place, and the weapons to be used. Of course, the FBI did absolutely nothing with that info and young people died. [More]

Who did David Hogg's father work for, again...?

A Sure Bet

 The district attorney whose office let out Waukesha parade killer Darrell Brooks on a $1,000 bond three weeks ago previously admitted he knew his laxed bail policies would lead to killers being set free and murdering others, saying flippantly in a 2007 interview: 'You bet, it's guaranteed to happen.'  [More]

I'd say "Thank Soros," but I don't want to be accused of anti-Semitism...

We're the Only Ones Delusional Enough

 Police first received reports around 2:30 p.m. Monday about a man standing in the middle of the street looking at the sky and jumping in front of traffic... [More]

Seems a little late to be bringing in "wellness resources"...

Life in Democrat Strongholds

 The District on Monday recorded its 200th homicide this year, the first time that symbolic threshold of deadly violence has been reached in the nation’s capital since 2003... Homicides rose in 29 major U.S. cities through September compared with the same period last year... [More]

Time for more vigils and buybacks...?

The Foreseeable Future?

ARE WE HEADING FOR CIVIL WAR? LIVE WITH DENNIS PRAGER AND LARRY ELDER - THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOW [Listen]

I don't have a spare hour-and-a-half to listen to this and kind of get the feeling based on the participants that it will go light on 4GW... I'll have it playing in the background for a bit and see if that's too distracting from my focus...

Anyone who does listen to it in full, feel free to leave a synopsis in comments.

Bari Head in Sand

 To admit that the media mainly got the Rittenhouse case wrong says nothing about if he should've been on the streets that night. (He shouldn't have.) Or open carry. (I'm opposed.) Or if teens should be allowed semiautomatic rifles. (How is this legal?) [More]

Interesting header, Bari...

Speaking of teenagers with guns not being legal...

Setting Up for Disappointment?

 Arbery Case: State Closing Rebuttal Presents as Frantic, Pleading & Desperate - ADA Linda Dunikoski repeatedly & intentionally misstates law to jurors, a sign of weakness [More]

If they let these guys walk, too, I sure wouldn't want to be around a Bay Area Louis Vuitton...

Perhaps judicial incompetence will save the prosecutor's day...

UPDATE: Guilty.

Can You Ever Forgive Us?

 We apologize deeply for the email that was sent today. $14.92 was our average donation amount this week. It was an oversight on our part to not make the connection to a year of colonization, conquest, and genocide for Indigenous people, especially before Thanksgiving. [More]

So they should have asked for $16.19?

Someone ought to ask these Afghan women how they feel about the controversy.

Tangentially-related UPDATE...

With 'Republicans' Like These...

According to Willamette Week  Drazan said “Over the past few months, I’ve been encouraged by friends and supporters to consider running for governor..”  We think it’s far more likely that she has been encouraged by people who are, like us, eager to have her cowardly backside out of the legislature so she can do no more damage. [More]

Republican betrayals are the result of decades of letting them get away with it and others seeing they can, too.

'Progressive' Priorities

 There are no more sex offenders in Colorado. They’re now “adults who commit sexual offenses,” according to a vote last week by the Sex Offender Management Board of the Colorado Division of Justice. [More]

So the board will have to rename itself?

I don't suppose anyone is interested in the "negative effects" of all the names their side comes up with to smear Freedom Attracted Persons...?

Get Woke Go Broke

The mayhem began Friday night, when thieves smashed a Louis Vuitton storefront window in San Francisco's Union Square and ransacked the store. Criminals also targeted about a dozen nearby stores for theft and vandalism, police said, including a Burberry and Hermes store, as well as an eyeglass shop and cannabis dispensaries. On Saturday night, the raid of the Nordstrom in nearby Walnut Creek was even more audacious: Just before closing time, some 80 people jumped out of a pack of cars, flash-mob style, and swarmed the aisles, many escaping with merchandise. Two employees were assaulted, one of them pepper sprayed. [More]

I'm having a Tommy Lee moment.

80 people and they can't come up with a description of even one of them? You'd think with all those cameras around we'd soon have a 1/6-style roundup. Except for the well-heeled "progressive" dilemma here...
