This is how the Senate Judiciary Committee could block Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court from reaching the Senate floor. [More]
Yep.
So why are our "gun rights leaders" at NRA, GOA, and SAF (not to mention the overwhelming majority of "Second Amendment writers") deliberately ignoring this? And don't tell me it's because they don't know.

If the state is going to take custody of a person, it is up to the state to ensure safe custodial care.
"Conservatives" cheering this on need to consider how they would fare in that environment if caught defying disarmament edicts, and I suspect that most of us would be correctly perceived as easy targets without alliances.

In July 2021, Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22, were enlisted members of the U.S. Army and stationed at the Fort Campbell military installation in Clarksville, Tennessee, and were charged by indictment with crimes stemming from the purchase and transfer of dozens of firearms to the streets of Chicago.

Largest rise in gun ownership? African-American women [More]
Good on them, BUT, we need to ask a few questions before we start uncorking the champagne: How do they vote and what effect has that had on the entire demographic?

Gun owners can change the trajectory for gun reform in this country. It's time to bring them into the fold, talk with them directly and encourage them to share their perspectives with the country. [More]
I guess when calling us traitors and racists, and wishing us disarmed and dead doesn't work, new tactics are called for.

WarOnGuns Correspondent Remarks reports:
I was watching the Tampa NBC affiliate (WFLA) Sunday morning news and saw that there was a Tampa Stop the Gun Violence Crusade rally in a park. There was a quick distance shot of the crowd, and there were more people on the stage than there were in the crowd. Other shots disguised the low attendance by using close-ups.
They're not the only "news" outlet engaging in "editorial discretion." "The community is planning to pack Ragan Park again," the 10 Tampa Bay teleprompter reader assures viewers at the end of her "report."
I just assumed he wouldn’t demonize or curse at a guest; he would moderate; he would entertain counter-arguments; he would defend fair play. [More]
Well, that was foolish. "Progressives" are vicious and want to destroy us. Don't assume media invitations aren't calculated set-ups.
You gotta know how to read the engagement terrain and when to say "No."

“We are focused on one account [@realDonaldTrump] right now, but this is going to be much bigger than just one account, and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week, and the next few weeks, and go on beyond the inauguration,” Dorsey said in a video recorded January 8, 2021.

“There’s a reason law enforcement officers overwhelmingly oppose permitless carry: it makes their jobs harder and puts their lives – and the lives of the people they’re sworn to protect – on the line,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. [More]

Noted in Passing: The End Of The Movie Star [Watch]
Even Hollywood's storied past was absolutely polluted with narcissism and insatiable perversion.
Speaking of the past, a friend and I were talking, jeez, over 35 years ago now, about celebrity worship and how in ancient times entertainers seeking kitchen scraps were treated like servants. He leaned back in his chair, imitating a king on his throne, and declared "Make us laugh or we'll kill you!"
Ah, the good old days...

Sen. Ted Cruz: We are one vote away from losing our fundamental liberties [More]
For some, it'll take more than that.
There is one thing you and other prominent Republicans can use your bully pulpit for to see that it doesn't come to that. Why is it all we're seeing from you is public handwringing as the inevitable floor vote will allow your warnings to come to pass-- instead of loudly pressuring Senate Judiciary to deny a quorum?

As I texted Mark before the program:
I'm going through a list in my head to come up with every cliché I can. And when you come up with any argument, I'll ignore it and say something else stupid, just like the real antis.
Then when the time came, I realized in real-time that some arguments are so stupid, if I made them it would immediately give the gag away.

But advocates on both sides actually agree on one thing about guns: the governor isn't doing enough. The thing is — they don't mean it in the same way.
"He's signing people's death sentences — [that's] what he's doing, and it is very dangerous," Erick Bellomy, Ohio lead of Brady: United Against Gun Violence, said.
