Novelist’s violent wishes exemplify ‘progressive’ paradox on guns and more

“People keep saying, 'We need to have a conversation about race,’” Morrison said. “This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back. And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, 'Is it over?’, I will say yes.” [More]
This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes nothing quite says "repression" like one of Obama's Presidential Freedom Medal recipients.

Oregon ivory ban bill puts gun and knife owners in undefined legal danger

Bill author Haas could not define how you measure volume-based content on a gun (or on a piano), nor was a "legal" way for documenting an item predating 1976 specified. Again Haas deferred, saying that would be "up to law enforcement." [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report notes just because an incompetently-written ban contains laughable absurdities doesn't mean citizens found in violation will see the humor.

We're the Only Ones Not Ready for Our Close-Up Enough

A 25-foot buffer? So if you illegally confront me or someone I'm with or near, and I turn my recorder on, you can bust me for it? And use an escalating continuum of force up to lethal and have it officially justified...? [More]

No, Of Course He Doesn't Mean Christian Bakers Can Start Burning Things

Non-violence is a type of political performance designed to raise awareness and win over sympathy of those with privilege. When those on the outside of struggle—the white, the wealthy, the straight, the able-bodied, the masculine—have demonstrated repeatedly that they do not care, are not invested, are not going to step in the line of fire to defend the oppressed, this is a futile political strategy. It not only fails to meet the needs of the community, but actually puts oppressed people in further danger of violence. [More] 
See, just as only whites can be racists, only those WITHOUT "privilege," as subjectively defined by domestic enemies, can legitimately engage in acts of violence, looting and arson, plus justify them as "self-defense."

Baltimore riots highlight ‘progressive’ paradox on guns and police

High-profile shootings of black males continue to occur in cities where “progressive” Democrats run things. Yet in spite of that, they embrace “gun control,” that is, a system where police are the “only ones” trusted to keep and bear arms. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks what can be done when the "Only Ones" have no intention of protecting you, and notes an answer from a generation past.

We're the Only Ones Consistent Enough

"...the police subject these individuals to intrusive searches unless they can prove their innocence. Our case law considers such a policy consistent with the Fourth Amendment..." [More]
At least they're consistent...

Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings

“If a ban on semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit.” [More]
The subversive dolt who wrote that asinine opinion is a Reagan appointee.

If that surprises anyone, they haven't been paying attention.

Rise of the Machines

The 'continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target' seems to be tailor made for a robot army controlled by artificial intelligence. [More]

American Association of Restrained Persons?

The original... curiously discouraging people from sharing...

With subtitling... (It sure sounds like they're on to something)...

Lotta chatter out there.

It's always important not to leap to illusions. And that this would be a selected forum for sending out subliminal messages makes no sense. That said, if there's any kind of official explanation that does make sense, I'm not finding it.

The Problem the Board was Trying to Address

After all, the problem the board was trying to address is the inability of undocumented immigrants and others to obtain identification cards. [More]
In other words, they weren't trying to address the real problem.
