They Put the C*nt in Country

Though country music has a reputation for historically being a more conservative genre, a number of artists have expressed support for stricter gun laws in the United States... [More]
Ladies and gentlemen, The Saddle Tramps ...

(Totally NSFW)

Here We Go Again

Then there is the Bill of Rights, which grants Americans the right to have firearms... [More]
NO, IT DOES NOT!

Those of us who do take our rights seriously are sick and tired of having to point that out, especially to those who presume to speak on our behalf with authority.

Pretty Messed-Up Priorities

The Council of Licenced Firearms Owners is exploring legal action over the Government's gun buyback scheme over what it says are unfair prices. [More]
If that's their main concern, we've already established what they are.

Misery Loves Company

Black SUNY prof: ‘Seeing poor white people makes me happy’ [More]
Who thinks a white professor saying the same thing about poor blacks would ever work again? What an asshole thing for anybody to say about anybody.

Leave it to an overprivileged collectivist to have an inflated sense of imagined personal injustices suffered, and to derive satisfaction from the real suffering of those he is bigoted against.

It's the essence of social justice warriorhood.

The Important Thing Is,It Gets Him Air Time

Mayor Stoney wants to ban guns in city buildings, parks [More]
Tell me that won't stop the bad guys from bringing them!

Speaking of Hate Crimes...

Federal prosecutors say they may seek death penalty in hate-crime charges against driver accused in Charlottesville car attack [More]
With such low-hanging fruit, it ought to be an easy kill, and one the mob will go wild over. Like I said, bright future for that boy.

Trump nominee, eh? That ought to get the Dems to stop calling him racist!

No?

Let's Try Something that Eviscerates Rights and that We Know Won't Work!

Northam conceded that his proposals wouldn’t have necessarily prevented the Virginia Beach shooting. [More]
Delete the "necessarily" qualifier and I'll agree with the lying SOB.

So let's hear it for Virginia Democrats!

Void for Vagueness

In our constitutional order, a vague law is no law at all. Only the people’s elected representatives in Congress have the power to write new federal criminal laws. And when Congress exercises that power, it has to write statutes that give ordinary people fair warning about what the law demands of them. Vague laws transgress both of those constitutional requirements. They hand off the legislature’s responsibility for defining criminal behavior to unelected prosecutors and judges, and they leave people with no sure way to know what consequences will attach to their conduct. When Congress passes a vague law, the role of courts under our Constitution is not to fashion a new, clearer law to take its place, but to treat the law as a nullity and invite Congress to try again. [More]
Sounds good to me and gun owners running afoul of a federal "crime" while armed may come to appreciate the ruling.  The real issue seems to be not one of a precedent that will let the violent out early now, but that those still violent are let out at all.

One More Time


My last Michael Dukes Show appearance is also now on SoundCloud. [Listen]

Slithering Past the Graveyard of History

“The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America.  Ban it,” Benioff had tweeted in 2018. A year later, Salesforce, a dominant force in the CRM space, banned businesses that sell a variety of firearms from using its force. Salesforce’s war against the First Amendment had transitioned smoothly from a campaign against the Second Amendment using its power as leverage. [More]
He evidently believes he won't ultimately be given a tumbrel ride to the guillotine as a "One Percenter" aristocrat once his usefulness is no longer relevant.

So Much for 'Don't Be Evil'

Project Veritas has released a new report on Google which includes undercover video of a Senior Google Executive, leaked documents, and testimony from a Google insider.  The report appears to show Google’s plans to affect the outcome of the 2020 elections and “prevent” the next “Trump situation.” [More]

Hell Hath No Fury

A 32-year-old woman was arrested on June 15 when she gathered her husband’s guns to turn them over to the Lakeland Police Department. [More]
Good.

I'd say this casts doubt on all her accusations against him, including the one about the car.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Reforming' Is

Save the Second Amendment – By Reforming the NRA [More]
That won't happen until a critical mass of influential voices join me in demanding Wayne LaPierre be fired and not replaced with a nominating committee crony.

As for focus point Goal 5:
Goal #5: Return to exclusive focus on Second Amendment issues.Have you ever seen Planned Parenthood advocating for immigration reform? Or the American Diabetes Association taking a stance on foreign policy? Does the National Education Association get involved with bit coin regulation? No, they don’t. That’s because they are single-issue organizations, and they focus their energy on that single issue. The NRA should do the same.
Bullshit. That's exactly the wrong advice. Immigration IS a Second Amendment issue.

Answer the damn challenge.

Seeing who their "Director of Media Relations" is and his past dismissal and retreat on this issue, this doesn't surprise me.  The guy's an apologist for Democrat gun-grabber supporting gun trainers, too.

So Much for All Those Laws

Sacramento Rookie Cop Killed With Unregistered ‘Assault Rifle’ [More]
If that isn't a good reason to keep you from having one, I don't know what is.

Something in Common Besides 'Gun-Free Zones' and 'Criminals'?

The mass shooting this past April at a California synagogue has something in common with the deadliest massacres: the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle. [More]
CBS News? Weren't they the ones who made conditions intolerable for their reporter who brought ATF allowing semiautomatic rifles to be walked to Mexico to mass national attention?

If the intent here is to demonstrate that criminal abuse can lead to horrible carnage, the same could be said for any gun-- and they'll get around to that after this domino is toppled.

Scott Pelley. What a tool.

Environmentalcase Hypocrisy

Environmentalists say wall plan poses threat to Arizona wildlife, waterways [More]
And this does not?

Remember when Clinton appointee Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled in favor of the Bradys, presuming authority to deny our right to possess the means of defense until an "environmental impact study" had been performed to say it was OK?

Funny-- since her ruling was never overturned by a higher court (a Congressional rider on a credit card bill allowed it instead), stare decisis ought to still apply over executive actions in her district.  Anybody know if environmental impact studies have been done on the deliberate bypassing of all those lawfully-enacted immigration laws? What about a precedent-based lawsuit?

And it's not just desert trash, that just provides for a telling visual but it's a small part of the overall impact. More energy needs to be generated, more infrastructure is needed, more cars are on the road "thanks" to driver's licenses for illegals, more trash and sewage is generated everywhere they go...

Democrats care as much about the environment as they do about racism-- what they care about is if they can exploit an issue to seize more power.
