Speaking of 'Shall Not Be Infringed'...

According to the plea agreement, undercover agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with the help of a confidential informant, purchased 14 firearms from Goldman’s vendor booth at a flea market... [More]

Who? Goddam weasel...

That said, I've seen vendors like this at flea markets and marveled that they were so apparently unconcerned with "the rules"...

Some day I need to find the time to get Wayback Machine links for my John Shipley articles.

It's a Start

 Up until now, the only prosecution at all related to Gunwalker was that of the killers of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was murdered using one of the Gunwalker firearms. Today, I learned that we are finally seeing trafficking prosecutions. In Mexico. [More]

I wish I could believe there's a chance some Americans will be given up.

But Aside from That He's a Great Guy

 BTK serial killer Dennis Rader who murdered 10 people in 20-year killing spree describes himself as 'a good person who did some bad things' [More]

As I've said before, if this monster had a shred of humanity left in him he would find a way to hang himself in his cell.

On the First Guess

What The Great Ammunition Shortage Says About Inflation [More]

That Democrat economic policies discourage practice by making things too expensive, especially for new gun owners, and therefore result in the exact opposite of "commonsense gun safety"?

[Via bondmen]

PMF PMS

 Most of the guns were untraceable "privately made firearms" (PMF's), known as "ghost guns." [More]

Will this affect their grade?

So how did they trace them, and would they have objected less if the guns were numbered?

There Goes the Narrative

The latest setback for prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case means the ‘media narrative [is] now completely destroyed’... It’s a “non-criminal citation” [More]

Would sending them a Nelson Muntz GIF be frowned upon by anyone I should give a damn about...?

The Spirit of the Law

“The pieces of the legislation that weren't talked about were the pieces about reorganizing the code, the weapons code…basically criminalizing youth a little bit more.” CdeBaca said. “I think this emerged from the protests. People had umbrellas or they had their airsoft guns or they had other things to protect themselves from the pepper spray that was being deployed by the police officers, and now that bill made all of that a crime.” [More]

Gotta make sure Antifa isn't disarmed.

Give a Little Whistle

Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith (D-43) is asking her constituents to buy whistles and blow them if they see certain crimes unfold. [More]

And she says "Get serious."

I wonder how many have invited Michelle to blow something else.

Forget it, Jake, it's Chi-Town.

A Communist By Any Other Name

 Chicago Cardinal Decries ‘Lies’ of Election Tampering, Urges No Restrictions on Voting [More]

I don't suppose he could name one "conservative" who advocates preventing legitimate voters from doing so?

And yes, of course, he's all in for no borders and no guns.

Good thing the one has nothing to do with the other, right?

UPDATE:
In much of the West, the walls are closing in on anti-vaxxers [More]
See, the thing is, I'm not "anti-vax." I've gotten some that have a track record of being tested and approved. I suspect many who object to the jab feel this way and are being turned into pariahs because they have seen some scary things that haven't been adequately explained and demand more evidence.

It figures though, that the same people who object to walls to keep unauthorized people out are big on walls to keep those they disapprove of in.

Not So Smart Alec

Alec Baldwin said Saturday that any suggestion he’s not complying with the investigation into last fall’s deadly shooting on a New Mexico film set is a lie... Authorities still don’t have the actor’s phone. [More]

If I were this guy's lawyer, I'd quit. His ego won't let him just shut up and let that "process" he's talking about get handled by people who know how.

Actually, the same goes for his publicist. The Splenda story is just bizarre (as is the handful of Instagram idol worshippers believing he is worthy of sucking up to).



The Whole Story

Whole Foods Claims Constitutional Right to Disallow ‘Black Lives Matter’ Masks [More]

Nothing like having store employees impose their politics on their customers.

I wish I could feel sorry for them:

Whole Foods said in a statement the store has prohibited guns in stores since its founding, except in possession of store security.
