Rush by ‘Liberals’ to Buy Guns Refutes 'Progressive' Narrative and Raises Hypocrisy Questions

That means if it’s a choice between the Second Amendment and Hillary, guess which one loses. [More]

You can tell a lot about a person's sincerity by examining their priorities.

That Depends upon what the Meaning of the Word 'Abridged' Is

[T]he scene is now set for the US government to legally crack down on every media outlet that the government deems to be "foreign propaganda." [More]

Yeah, I'm sure we could justify that in light of "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." After all, just look what we've been able to do with "shall not be infringed."

Thundersticks

When Native Americans were arms dealers... [More]

What, no squaws for common sense  thunderstick safety groups sprang up, demanding to do it for the papooses...?

That reminds me of one of my favorite movie exchanges of all time.

Dog Bites Man

Drug overdoses now kill more Americans than guns [More]

"Now"?  How about "always"?

All kinds of evil, irresponsible and negligent choice consequences kill more people than inanimate objects, which on their own kill no one.

We're the Only Ones Not Knocking It Enough

Ray Rosas is a free man tonight after a jury of his peers found him not guilty of shooting three Corpus Christi police officers on February 19, 2015. On that day, early in the morning, CCPD executed a no-knock search warrant, forcing entry into the home without first knocking and announcing they were the police. [More]

Sounds like reason prevailed once government was taken out of the decision-making process...

A Likely Story

An actor who played a bit part in an independent gangster film and used a prop pellet gun without a New Jersey gun permit likely won’t have to serve a prison term. [More]

I guess there are no grownups in charge over there. Or sane people.

No 'One Size Fits All' Solutions

Flashbang bra holsters can fit some. [Watch]

But not all.

Ain't no such thing as "foolproof."

Ultimately, it boils down to quality of conduct.

And Remember, Our Diversity is Our Strength!

“Have you ever wondered what it really means to be white? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably ‘no.’ But here is your chance!,” reads the course description. “In this class, we will ask what an ethical white identity entails, what it means to be #woke, and consider the journal Race Traitor’s motto, ‘treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.'” [More]

Naturally the same Opposite Day "progressives" promoting this call whites racist, and by happy coincidence want to see them disarmed.

Gee, I wonder why.

Meanwhile, Over at the Rogues' Gallery

An alderman indicted on corruption charges while he sat in a City Council meeting is merely the latest in a rogues' gallery of elected officials to face such allegations in Chicago, a city that over the years became saddled with a national reputation for corruption. [More]

What they really need is a ban on "gun lookalike cellphone cases."

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Missing the Point?

[More]

Um, no, the point is to condemn the lying "progressive" tactic (is there any other kind?) of smearing everyone they oppose by conflating them all with a handful of racists (a number of which are plants and provocateurs).

For Everyone's Safety?

[Click to enlarge]

So the message everyone -- especially "gun safety advocates" should take away from this is -- per an association of gun owners, obeying Intolerable Acts and disarming is critical for safety.

That's not just promoters and venues and Fudds putting a happy face on selling out to ignorant insurance policies? No need for Fletcher to weigh in?

They can't just require carried firearms stay holstered unless needed? Or is it because they really don't trust Americans to be armed?

Thanks for making the antis argument for them. If I were a gun-grabber, I would grab on to every gun show that makes this crap argument (that would be most of them) and throw it back in the faces of rights advocates.

Merry Christmas

The rest of my home office, doing double duty for Christmas..

I thank all of you who have given me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, to sending a word of encouragement, to educating and helping me grow (either by confirming or correcting my assumptions), or to sharing my links, allowing me to continue the work.

My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.

Merry Christmas.

Now: What in the world are you doing here?

It's Christmas. And if you don't celebrate it, indulge those of us who do.

Go be with the ones you love. If there is no one you love, go fix that. Go do something loving for someone.

Disarming Potential Victims so Murderers They Welcome Won't Have to

Using that "standard," all dogs are fair game.

I suspect if someone did a chart showing dogs killed by "law enforcement," you'd see it go up sharply over the years.

Defend yourself against one of theirs at your own risk.

The Wizards of Oz

Despite Australia’s strict gun control regime, criminals are now better armed than at any time since [the 1996 ban and confiscation]. [More]

That third point reminds me of "Spaceballs":

Dark Helmet: So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! ... President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

'These are Merkel’s Dead'

Canary in a coal mine for the U.S...? [More]

Not if suicidal "progressives" have their way:

“Germans should not let the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin undermine liberal values,” ran the headline on the Washington Post editorial Dec. 22.

As opposed to:

“They hate and kill us. And nobody protects us. Our leaders betray us. We need a political revolution. Islamic immigration is an invasion, an existential problem that will replace our people [and] erase our culture.”

And those who agree with the first opinion and bring in even more want to disarm us.

Then again, while trying to get more information on the aftermath of the supposed Tunisian truck killer story, I found all I need to know about the priorities of the West from the "Most Popular" sidebar articles over at The Sun, particularly from entries with titles like "16 AND PREGNANT STAR DEAD."

They're not just Merkel's dead.

#DumpStarWars Distracts from ‘Rogue One’ Citizen Militia Theme

Such a rebellion, of course, requires an armed citizenry banding together as a militia, which, as per previous “Star Wars” movies, is exactly what is happening in “Rogue One.” Protagonist Jyn Erso demands and appropriates a weapon, noting her accepted retention of it is a sign that “trust goes both ways.”

Bingo. [More]

That’s hardly a theme mainstream propagandists are inclined to acknowledge.

Pretty in Pink

And though some may say a pretty pink pistol isn’t as menacing as the silver or black models, cops stress the pastel handguns are no less lethal. [More]

Who "may say" that? Anyone who knows what they're talking about, and would thus be fitting sources meriting mention in what's purported to be a "news" story?

This is the quality of "information" the move to marginalize alternative media is designed to reduce things to.
