Tyrant Presumes to Deny Your Rights

'Gun control' politician compares cops to ISIS, says he’d shoot them first

Project Vote Smart shows Chambers voted against passage of concealed carry legislation. He inserted an amendment into one concealed carry bill requiring permittees to “carry concealed the maximum number of pistols for personal protection due to paranoia and stark terror.” Unsurprisingly, he “was rated 0% by National Rifle Association (Candidate Positions on Gun Rights).” And it’s not just that he supports so-called “gun-free zones," he actively works to expand them. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a lunatic who mistrusts cops so much he wants them to be the "only ones" with guns!  With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

The Surge

I don't even have anything to say. [More]

World's Greatest Female Leader

That would explain a lot. [More]

Including the appropriateness of actions associated with Taylor Swifting.

Loss of a True Champion

Let's hope the door he looks like he walked into hits him in the heinie on his way out. [More]

And naturally, being Wayne's "true champion of the Second Amendment," he named Schumer his heir apparent.

Global Warming Causes Prostitution and STDs!

Unqualified for Higher Office

I gave up my campaign after the second totally irrelevant question. [More]

Welcome Aboard ISILwings Flight 9525?

Yeah, I've read the reports tracing back to one source, and it comports with my initial instincts and suspicions, and no, I don't expect the "authorities" are all that incentivized to be immediately forthright with their findings, but we also need to be on guard against disinformation, especially the kind that appeals to predispositions. Spreading what is as yet a rumor started for purposes unknown can only erode the credibility of the messengers if it turns out to be a setup to get some to take the bait and start screaming.

That doesn't mean efforts should not be made to guard against and expose any cover-ups.

Invoking Markley's Law in 3...2...1...

At least five Americans accidentally shot off their penises since 2010 [More]

Talk about being desperate to dig up something, anything.  And talk about something bringing joy to "progressives," some so frenzied you can see their black doll's eyes rolling over to white, like the feeding-frenzied sharks Quint recalled in "Jaws."

It's Not What You Think! Honest!

Is "alarmist" anything like "extremist"? [More]

You don't think the people responsible not being able to "immediately verify the authenticity of the slideshow" because of firewalls doesn't add more questions about forthrightness? Nobody has a smart phone or a tablet with a mobile hotspot, or a laptop they can take to a place with free Wi-Fi, like Fort Bragg's Callahan Athletic Center?

So instead we get this "There, there, don't worry your pretty little heads about it" dismissal?  And aside from the pesky "alarmists," the rest of the media is fine passing on the talking points?

Say, here's an idea that could get more specific answers as to the totality of the planned operations: I wonder if they've filed an environmental impact statement...

A Fudd By Any Other Name?

It seems my use of the term has been objected to over on Facebook. [More]

Fine. If you want to proudly call yourself a Fudd, that’s between you and you. That doesn’t mean you get to unilaterally redefine commonly-understood terms. No one here disparages those who are rights defenders first who also hunt or sport-shoot, because most of us would be disparaging ourselves. Come up with a term for “sportsmen” who throw rights under the bus and support gun-grabbers as long as their hobbies get preferential treatment, and then get widely-understood acceptance of your new term, and maybe people will start using it.

Meanwhile, Inigo would like a word with you.

This Day in History: March 27

A motion was made by Mr. Bland 2ded. by Mr. Lee to go back to the first part of the report & instead of the words “levy” an impost of 5 PerCt. to substitute the word “collect” an impost &c. It was urged in favor of this motion that the first word imported a Legislative idea, & the latter an executive only, and consequently the latter might be less obnoxious to the States. [More]

Who's levyin'? We're collectin'.

I hadn't realized Jojo Krako rejoinders were that old.

Mike reminds us of another date, and while not part of the original Revolutionary period this feature chronicles, it is nonetheless important to know about and then remember.

Zimmerman statement coverage highlights media shallowness

The thing is, this was not Zimmerman’s first public statement. He appeared on the nationally-syndicated Armed American Radio program with host Mark Walters on December 14 of last year, in Hour Two of the program... [More]

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes what the media isn't telling you is sometimes intentional and sometimes just due to not knowing first thing about what they're trying to fake like they're authorities on.  But they sure act like they know what the hell they're talking about, don't they?

Raging Debate

The ones exhibiting most of the rage are the ones who are frustrated because they want to control everyone and don't know how to handle those who say "No," except to demand the state employ a continuum of up-to-lethal force to bend the defiant to their will.  Likewise, why would anyone debate a settled truth, that is, give equal time, acknowledgment and respect to those who are wrong and/or evil? [More]

Most don't quite know what to make of the new paradigm in gun rights advocacy, and that includes many ostensibly on "our side."

White Privilege on Parade

That is when the media and public officials gathered around Motley and congratulated him for his heroism. For saving the damsel in distress from a case of wicked racial violence.

Oh, yeah – that last part did not happen.

In fact, when police arrived, they arrested Motley for assault. Ditto for Gina Herring. [More]

Any questions, racists?

That's an Affront, Alright...

Calling the use of encrypted phones and computers a “huge problem” and an affront to the “rule of law,” Comey, painted an apocalyptic picture of the world if the communications technology isn’t banned. [More]

I think he means an affront to the law of rulers...

You know what else we need, for even more vital security?  Some way to tap into people's minds to know what they're thinking. You'd better believe this is under development and probably a lot farther along than those without clearances realize.  Then we could all be plugged into a cloud, and keythoughts could trigger scrutiny...

Hey, if you don't have anything to hide...

Giving Back to the Community

We are asking gun shops, Manufacturers, FFL licensees, and those businesses that sell complimentary lines of products or services to join with us and contribute... [More]

There are some who don't do that much volume or who may have special considerations precluding full partnership, but who nonetheless ought to do something, and all of them  need to actively recruit support from their customers. And that goes especially for the big volume merchants.

The ones who won't lift a finger, including the ones who support the Bloomberg initiative for reasons of  agreement or gain, need to be singled out and made examples of.  I would suggest Nevadans for State Gun Rights come up with some sort of decal or poster supporters can display, something that would have the same basic effect of sending the economic wrath of gun owners elsewhere as painting lamb's blood on door posts did at the first Passover...
