A Scary Place

“The world is a very scary place right now, especially for people of means; they feel cornered and threatened”... [More]

Awww.

You guys should see what the rest of us are faced with.

So that's why so many elitists fund citizen disarmament, and not a one has stepped up to the plate to counter Bloomberg dollar-for-dollar? And why even "conservative" Kochsuckers are abetting the grand sellout?

That said, anything given, that allows people to avoid working for themselves, generally isn't appreciated and used wisely. If an "angel" did come forward, it would just give the slacktivists more of an excuse to keep doing nothing. I just find it instructive, that's all, that no billionaire has ponied up $50M or so because he believes the right of the people to keep and bear arms is actually necessary.

Practical Reality

Seems to me if we can be trusted "when the team is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys," we can be trusted ALL the time. [More]

They're admitting they don't have the manpower to enforce their stupid, presumptuous rules. They're also admitting the act of being armed alone is not a threat -- it's how people conduct themselves.

This Day in History: May 25

With great satisfaction I inform you the King of Great Britain, over the great water, hath made peace with all your elder Brothers in America, hath declared them an independent people and hath given up all right and claim to this Country, and to the Government thereof. This great event I congratulate you upon. I shall send you shortly the articles of Peace by your friend Colonel Martin our Agent appointed for Indian affairs and hope they will give you Joy. [More]

Group Used Actors for NYC Gun Store Facade

“Actors are interviewed on camera in a fake gun store,” the permits’ scene descriptions reveal. [More]

We knew the store was fake and the "proprietor" was an actor. My Freedom of Information request produced the permits showing the "customers' were actors as well. So when States United Against Gun Violence aka CeaseFire tells us it was "a hidden camera social experiment to debunk safety myths," the only myth that's been debunked here is their sneaky con job attempt at manipulation.

Also, it seems no paperwork was required to control all that "inventory," which, per New York law, also applies to "prop guns."

Includes links to permits and correspondence.

Republican 'leaders' block and derail campus carry in Nevada

Naturally, they both have excuses. Per the Reno Gazette Journal, Brower, “said his committee would not hear the bill because it lacked the support necessary to pass his committee,” and Roberson evidently thought prohibiting those convicted of domestic violence from gun ownership (!) was cause enough to leave all people vulnerable to campus violence. That campus carry won’t have support if the "leadership" isn’t making it a priority and an expectation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes it's not just Democrats we need to guard against.

The Color Orange

I guess that's one way for the antis to make their numbers appear larger than they are. [More]

Freddie Allen, NNPA Senior Washington Correspondent

And all-around press flack for the antis... [More]

One source, VPC, no alternatives allowed, even though they are readily available, and this is "news"?

So there have been no lives saved, no DGUs?

The overwhelming number of them without firing a shot...?

Want to compare "concealed carry killers' to "Only Ones," Freddie, you "Authorized Journalist/Legitimate News Media/Real Reporter" hack?

[Via Neil W]

UPDATE: And I learned from his Twitter feeds that Freddie is one of those  who don't trust the police to do the right thing by the community-- which makes his stumping for them being "Only Ones" all the more of a disconnect with anything resembling logic.

A "Progressive" Education

So much for tolerance and truth... [More]

Axis Sally and Tokyo Rose...

Meet Jihad Jane. [More]

They seem  to attract their share of American fools -- assuming the posters aren't all part of the shill game. I notice Mike's comment was deleted.

Anybody think these foreign enemy propagandists publish anything that isn't Ayatollah-approved?

Hack Attack

Someone is posting a lot of T&A photos.

What's disappointing, but not surprising, is the number of visitors who don't recognize a hack when they see one, and are vowing to have nothing to do with OK because they assume the photos were authorized.

So When Do the Riots Start

I guess "Hands up, don't shoot" doesn't apply when you've bound them... [More]

Predictably, this comment appeared under my article from one of the serial trolls:

This from the side that started Moms Demand THE DAY AFTER Sandy Hook, impatiently anticipating the opportunity to hit the ground running.

Me, I like this comment left at Mike's.

We're the Only Ones Toilet Trained Enough

Capitol Police set for toilet training after breaking ‘rule number one,’ leaving guns in lavatories [More]

Actually, if they have to unstrap, shouldn't it be rule number two?

But We Need It Just in Case

FBI admits no major cases cracked with Patriot Act snooping powers [More]

I also can't help but wonder how many jihadis have been taken down at the gate by TSA.

This Day in History: May 22

That Mr. Dana be informed that the Treaties lately entered into for restoring peace, have caused such an alteration in the affairs of these States, as to have removed the primary object of his mission to the Court of Russia, the acquisition of new supports to their Independence... [More]

Emergency Response

Persons evacuating from a designated mandatory evacuation zone can lawfully carry firearms without license for up to 48 hours while in the process of evacuating. [More]

Florida Carry notes a simple change, effective immediately, that they helped bring about to "allow lawful gun owners to bring their guns with them during an emergency rather than being forced to leave them behind to fall in to the hands of looters or be destroyed in a disaster."

GOA supporters to question presidential hopefuls in ‘tele-town hall meeting'

In a way, that could end up being a litmus test of sorts by which gun owners will be able to separate politicians who will stand with them from those who will abandon them and turn tail at the first threat of “bad” press. That could be helpful in gauging if candidates are willing to stand fast on principles they actually believe in, or if they have merely been offering insincere platitudes in the hopes of gaining knee-jerk votes. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the "progressive" forces of inclusion and tolerance are frothing at the mouth in their desperation to scare GOP candidates away from GOA. Now at least we'll get to see how many poltroons are running courtesy of the Orwellian-named "People for the American Way."

I just don't see those with power giving it up unless there is a credible "or else" should they refuse.
