HuffPo Academic Invites Civil War

"Above all, domestic disarmament is a true, compelling vision which cannot be said about the small gun control measures that are currently promoted by some of the most enlightened people among us." [More]
Then again, there's a true compelling vision about why that might not be such a smart idea to try.

And Now, the Rest of the Story


[More]

Yes, but the Buddhist by choice was adopted and therefore not raised Muslim, plus the law at the time discouraged his unmarried Catholic biological mother from "choosing" to scrape him out.  But hey, Huff-Po, it's your narrative, so please do go on.

What Can Brown Do to YOU?

I want much more rigid and well enforced gun control laws immediately. [More] 
No. Your move.

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word 'Apparent' is...

Two male Afghan air force students did not report for duty yesterday at their regular maintenance training at Moody AFB in Valdosta, Georgia. Both are assigned to the 81st Fighter Squadron. They have been at Moody since. February 2015 and were screened prior to their arrival in the United States more than a year ago. The students have trained alongside American counterparts for the entirety of 2015 and do not pose any apparent threat. There is a well-coordinated process among federal agencies to locate the individuals as quickly as possible and return them accordingly to the proper authorities to manage their present situation. [More]
Well, I guess long as they've been through rigorous screening, it would be racist to worry.

Maybe they're just taking clocks to the White House...

Alternative Futures

Bob Owens speculates on the potential consequences of gun-grabber wishes coming true. [More]

Vanderboegh takes strong exception.

Not having a crystal ball, we're left with possibilities and probabilities, with wild cards, and with an observation by Robert Burns.

Me, I worry about what the Russians and the Chinese are going to be doing while all this goes down, if anything.

More Evidence That Irresponsible Right Wing Rhetoric is Responsible for San Bernardino Murders

"Kill Trump." [More]

Two countries, folks. Who thinks they're interested in letting us live in theirs?

Any guesses on where any of these psychopaths stand on "common sense gun safety laws"?

Trump Under Fire

Critics ranging from the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan, a Republican, to the Senate minority leader, Harry Reid, a Democrat, assailed Mr. Trump’s proposal as self-defeating and un-American. “Tell Donald Trump: Hate is not an American value,” Hillary Clinton wrote on Twitter. [More]
In other words, controlled opposition establishment trough feeders are corroborating everything Quigley admitted:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.) 
Comment poster Jack M appears to get it.  Meaning trolls rush in to poison the well with talking point responses like:
Islamic terrorists still kill fewer Americans than right-wing and Christian terrorists.
Two countries people. And we'll only be able to live in one of them.

The Force Awakens and Rolls Back Over

Any bets on how they'd view a real life rebel alliance resisting a monopoly of violence empire? [More]

I am reminded of my first magazine article, "The Fandom Menace," published in the Nov. 1999 issue of GUNS & AMMO. It's not online and I've not been successful  in my attempts to obtain contractual reprint rights, along with "The New Eloi" and some others.

Crying Time?

From a comment left under my latest AmmoLand offering:
One more Democrat in the Oval Office and it’s all over but the crying.
A comment over at WRSA regarding my latest Oath Keepers piece comes to mind.

Put the Guns Down!

This is gawdawful. The problem is, they're obviously too ignorant to be embarrassed.  [More]

Still, in a lemonade out of lemons kind of way, the "add your verse" function offers some interesting possibilities...

Neocomns

We're neocons! We're ex-communists and ex-socialists who have seen the light and acknowledge the horrors visited upon millions of people by those collectivist ideologies in practice. What, however, are we for? We're for the status quo! Whatever that is or may be at any given point in time. [More]
And of course they require our principles to be as malleable as theirs.

This reminds me of a quote I recall seeing many years ago that goes something like:
There is no creature more useless than a centrist Republican.

"I'm the NRA"

So it must be my fault. [More]

The guy sounds like his mind was already boggled.

But let's ask those who know him best about this mediocrity.

What Evidence?

The media was invited in to destroy a crime scene, the apartment of the San Bernardino Islamist killers. [More]

I was going to jump on the bandwagon asking "WTF?" but then I saw this:
An hour later, Lourdes Arocho, spokesperson for the FBI Los Angeles field office, told Mashable: "The search is over at that location." ... During an afternoon press conference, FBI Los Angeles Assistant Director David Bowdich said that the federal investigation at the property had ended. Bowdich said investigators had seized several pieces of evidence from the home but had turned it back over to the owner. "Once we board it up, anyone that goes in at that point has nothing to do with us," said Bowdich.
Nothing to see here?  And nothing for other (local) agencies to find?

Who thinks this looks like the feds wanted something in the apartment to be obscured and tainted, and the chain of custody on certain evidence broken?

Oath Keepers will be keeping an eye on this story and posting updates as appropriate.

Open Inquiry to NYSP in re SAFE Act Enforcement

Per a 12/08/15 post on AR15.com:
The New York State Police have launched an investigation into alleged SAFE Act violations and appear to have possession or copies of 4473s showing who purchased firearms. Consider speaking with a lawyer if contacted.
No related information appears on your NYSP News page. Similarly, NYSP social media sites including Facebook and Twitter are silent on this.

Will you issue a statement confirming or clarifying/denying the posted information?

PROOF OF DELIVERY UPDATE:


I do not see a messaging function on their Facebook page.

Second UPDATE: I see all kinds of assumptions being drawn about this-- please keep in mind it is an INQUIRY about a FORUM POST. The best thing people concreted about the potential of this can do right now is to join me in asking them about this.

I really don't need to say any more about our future anointed leaders, do I?

Except getting rid of the title "master" for administrative titles is one thing, but couldn't we press and demand that the degree title be eliminated as well? What horrors must that hate word evoke!

And come to think of it, how must the exclusionary "bachelor degree" make participants in polyamorous transspecies marriages feel?

Here -- as long as we're sympathizing, we might as well be fully cognizant of their kampf -- or at least of their parents'.
