Dummying Down


She said her son hopes to register and educate new voters... [More]
That implies he's qualified to be more than a ventriloquist dummy.

A Question for All Gungrabbers


How many are you willing to see killed to force your will on everyone? [Watch]

I've been asking it myself for a while.

A Man of la Gente

Con el duro trabajo de los floridanos hemos avanzado mucho desde ese día, pero aún tenemos mucho por hacer y es por eso que he decidido aspirar al Senado de los Estados Unidos.  [More]
Yeah, well uck-fay oo-yay.

Doppelhogger

My name is David Hogg and I’m not from Parkland, Fla. I first found out about the other David Hogg from my grandfather. He called and asked my parents to turn on the TV because there was a David Hogg who looked similar to me and was close to my age—I’m 16, he’s 17. [More]
I never assume a name I find on the internet is the same as the person I am trying to find out more about until I can verify they are. And I've always felt a bit guilty about the very few people who share my name, because I'm sure Google search results have complicated their lives.

We saw a similar situation a while back with a gun dealer being blamed for the actions of a quisling with essentially the same handle.

Counseled Counselors

Virginia law students push state panel to scrap mental health question on bar application [More]
I wonder how many of those would insist for consistent treatment on guns, and my guess is probably not a one.

Persons of Interest

The Department of Homeland Security wants to track the comings and goings of journalists, bloggers and other “media influencers” through a database. [More]
Dare I hope...?

What I'm interested in are the economic fascist technowhores who'll win the bid.

I want to find out what they eat for breakfast.

The ernie Chronicles

Fishing without a license... [More]
If we let him get away with that, why, who knows what he'll want next?

I do question how anyone can make a claim to freely take game when we're not talking about the primordial state of nature anymore, but managed and stocked ecosystems which require funded resources and custodial care in order to coexist in a modern world with competing interests.  I also question making yourself the subject of the hurt -- a "Patton" quote comes to mind.

That said, we could use a few more colorful characters, and if you get passed the initial urge to dismiss "a kook" and go down his rabbithole for a bit, the guy really has amassed an amazing amount of information.

Feel Free to Ask Questions


Not those questions:



Seeking recommendations will result in banishment -- in this case for 30 days.

Proposed Boulder Semi-Auto Ban Repeats Lie Upheld by Faithless Federal Courts

“She added that the proposed ordinance does not strip residents of their Second Amendment rights — which was a fear expressed throughout the public hearing on Thursday — because the Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to an assault rifle.” [More]
What options are left after the truth is denied and the ultimatums are issued?

The Monuments Built By Inaction

The unspeakable could never happen here. [More]

Right?

Yeah, Uh, No

The gun solution [More]
Licensing and other prior restraints ain't gonna fly.

Besides, he doesn't really think the "reducing gun deaths" misdirection is what drives the violence monopolists, does he, or that those who want it all will give anything back without a credible "or else" behind a demand?

Oregon Alert

Come out and learn about the new gun-control initiatives targeted for the November 2018 ballot, including IP43 and IP44. [More]
Kevin Starrett will be speaking. It's tomorrow and free e-tickets are needed due to limited seating, so get them now if you want to attend.

A Good First Step

The proposed legislation, dubbed "Stop Soros" by the government before the vote, is part of Orban's strident anti-immigration campaign targeting Hungarian born U.S. financier George Soros, whose philanthropy aims to bolster liberal and open-border values. [More]
There's a reason they call interests run by the string-pullers "NGOs."

So What Are They Doing Out?

Gun owners and NRA members will be the first to admit that there are some people who should not even own a BB gun! [More]
Absolutely. We call such people "inmates."

Oh, the "conservative" site run by Clinton's BFF had something else in mind...?

A Point That Bears Repeating

If the federal government were to repeal the Second Amendment, it would have no effect whatsoever on my RKBA, or yours. [More]
The outrage is that anyone can reach adulthood in this country and need to have that explained to them. The principalities and powers like it like that.

Male Call

A letter to the boys & young men of America. [More]
If you know any who haven't been ruined, let them know they're not alone and that there is a place for them among the just and the brave.

Rule of Lawlessness

There’s no good reason to stop felons from voting [More]
Establishment-approved "conservative" George Will again-- figures he'd wants to give the Democrats even more of an electoral advantage.

If they're going to be set free among the rest of us, there's no good reason to stop felons from owning guns, either. The relevant question is: Can they be trusted without a custodian?

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

[A] 2nd Amendment Restoration Act must be called for, the repeal of ALL Federal gun control laws from 1934 up.  Since Prohibition was repealed in 1933, then it would also seem prudent to save the American tax payer money and call for a disbanding of the BATFE, since chasing moonshiners doesn't really justify their budget, and their other functions could be handled by other agencies. Infringements to the 2nd Amendment on the whims of a bureaucrat, would be the despotic actions of a tyrant. -- WarOnGuns Correspondent Jeffrey D, via email
I agree in principle. I wish I knew how to make it happen. I learned long ago how limited my capabilities to affect political outcomes are.

All I can really control is my will.

I can't stop others from surrendering their birthrights. I will defy and resist their claiming mine to my dying breath.

Back to the Future

California Is The Future [More]
Especially its demographics.

Good thing that has nothing to do with that "single issue."

If it did, ... what's the term they always use? "Rest assured" Fairfax would be screaming from the rooftops. And so would all the "gun bloggers."

I mean, it would only make sense.

Rest assured!

London's Mayor Declares Intense New 'Knife Control' Policies To Stop Epidemic Of Stabbings [More]
No wonder their government doesn't trust those violent Anglo-Saxons with guns.
