In other words, non-working "workers of the world" virtue signalers are funded by idiot heirs who never worked a day in their lives...

 Smith & Wesson Shares Crash After Earnings Miss Shows Panic-Hoarding Guns Is Over [More]

So does that mean ammo prices will drop?

Don't worry about S&W. I have a feeling we have plenty more panics we'll be going through.

I have a feeling we ain't seen nothin' yet.

What are they going to do? Throw out all the Democrats?

I won't.

How about you?

Well, who are you going to believe? 

Medical researchers or a "fact-checker" in Mumbai? 

When the truth does come out, and if it turns out to be what it increasingly looks like, the social media giants may find themselves liable for deaths resulting from steering people away from the truth.

We're the Only Ones Superannuated Enough

 He kept his pension, despite being convicted of second-degree murder in 2008, because Congress passed the Hiss Act in 1954 that allows lawmakers, and therefore federal employees, to keep their retirement benefits unless convicted of espionage or treason. [More]

Everything else is fair game!

We're the Only Ones Triple Whammying Enough

IMPD officer charged with drunk driving connected to hit-and-run [More]

So is that like a trifecta, DUI along with a crash and then evasion?  It must be that training because I've never been able to master doing just one...

Coiled to Strike

The world’s first handheld Gauss Rifle – (alpha) batch 2 [More]

I suppose if I were rich and wanted it for fun and for the collection...

What do the rules say? They don't? Well, we'll fix that!

Seems a bit unwieldy for defensive use and I haven't seen performance specs to see how it does against conventional rifles. I sure wouldn't want to drop it in the mud. Anybody know if it's safe for people with pacemakers, or if it would be covered by PLCAA?

I don't mean to put it down and expect to see many more developments, along these lines and along the lines of energy weapons. The question is, will they be denied to "We the People" and if so, what will that mean?

Keep Digging

 “He is trying to direct the narrative in a way that shifts blame for this tragedy away from him,” she continued. However, Fiset said, “it is never a good idea to speak publicly during an active investigation and this case is no different.” [More]

Yep. In his ego-driven need to publicly justify himself, he just unwittingly talked to the police.

At least his fellow useful idiots sympathize.

Starting Over

Could any president survive such miserable support among even his own party and still pass all of his major legislation? No. Not unless it’s with the complicity and cooperation of those elected to be the opposition. [More]
Can anything be done besides taking measures to prepare for the worst? Assuming we emerge on the other side, then what?

Exiling Reality

 AG-Elect Miyares to Focus on Criminals, Not Gun-Owners [More]

Get caught refusing to comply with an infringement and guess what that makes you?

It's discouraging to see none of the AmmoLand comment posters get that and all of them buying into NRA-brand "gun control" without a squawk.  It's not like they haven't been informed.

Rectum? Damn near killed him!

Talk about a true ammosexual, and what a bombshell partner! But why all the hostility against MAPs (Munitions-Attracted Persons)?

Give it a few years and it will become a legitimate "progressive" life choice (is it still a choice or has that changed back again?) and anyone who says different will be canceled as the hater that they are!

So Much for 'First Do No Harm'

Guns in the Medical Literature: A Call for Scientific Integrity [More]
Edgar A. Suter, M.D., founder of Doctors for Integrity in Public Policy, got a piece in the current Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons that exposes the gunquacks. It shows their malpractice has less to do with incompetence and more to do with deliberate, agenda über alles mendacity.

Speaking of Mail

I can't find this on the GOA site to link to, so I'm just pasting the text of their email presser here:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit today issued an order in Gun Owners of America’s (GOA) case challenging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) bump stock ban. “GOA’s fight is far from over as our lawyers begin preparing a petition for certiorari to the High Court,” Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, said. “The fact that the Sixth Circuit was so divided that it could not even give us an answer to our question means that the Supreme Court must eventually decide whether unelected ATF bureaucrats have the power to create new federal crimes out of thin air.” The court split evenly, 8 to 8 -- an extremely rare occurrence in the courts of appeals. This peculiar result means that the court was unable to reach a majority opinion either way in the case, resulting in the flawed ruling of the lower, district court being “affirmed” by default. Along with its order, the court issued two opinions, one supporting the bump stock ban and one opposing it, but neither representing the judgement of the court (and so neither with any precedential value.) GOA is concerned that in the future, the ATF could similarly ban semiautomatic firearms by illegally classifying them as machine guns.

The Company They Keep

 Everytown partners with a pro athlete who committed “gun violence” [More]

Anti-gun "gun criminals" are something of a tradition, you know...

Speaking of Meltdowns

  Crazy Karen & BLM activist films herself harassing all her neighbors. Insane [More]

I'll bet she's fun at porch crawls.

Giving out the neighbor's street address is doxing and deserves a response in kind.

For the record, I don't use the term "Karen." There are girls who were named that before the trend was started and that's got to result in no shortage of bullying and harassment for them. I've also said before I  don't like "Boomer," and not because I fall in that age group, but because it forms a collectivist negative judgment that disregards the individual.

 BREAKING! Moms Demand Action goon is now AGAINST background checks for CCW? [More]

If you follow her train of thought, she's also furious over background checks to obtain a gun, because she really doesn't want you to have one in the first place.

What's to review?

That this has not resulted in immediate termination tells us all we need to know about the newsraper of record, not that any further example was needed.

And well, gee, here's a surprise.
