HA! Looks like I win the fierce power struggle on how to spell the Chairman of the Board Operators' name!

I also received a reminder from a friend that Ben Carson is problematic on immigration, kind of implying I should have mentioned that when I brought his name up. I know, same holds true on guns. The fast-moving conversation was centered on Holder playing the race card as the reason why some people are against him and Obama, and the only point I was trying to make is that white people who oppose Barry are more than willing to support a  person of a different race if he represents their ideology. I also mentioned Allen West and Thomas Sowell, and didn't see a need to say anything more about them than their names. Sometimes, when you sense the host is soliciting a conversation to amplify a point, a perceptive guest will follow the lead to help him, rather than throw in detours and sidetracks until you end up having a different discussion than the one being offered.

I've talked about Carson on this blog, including highlighting Kurt's work. I'm sure I'll do so again, including on Armed American Radio.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Took in the matinee yesterday. I liked it.

Spoiler alert, so don't continue reading if those bother you:

The wannbe tyrant resorts to a false flag shooting and Reichstag fire to gain political power.  In other words, Prozis are regressive, anti-human apes.

It's not the first time this has held true.

We're the Only Ones Sticky-Fingered Enough

But the man in the video may have been a Fairfax County sheriff’s deputy, Northington said he soon learned. And within days, two things happened: The deputy retired from the sheriff’s office and Target fired Northington, 29, a married father of two with a third child on the way. [More]

It's not like Target actually means to provide...you know...security. If only he'd just gone along with the facade instead of embarrassing everyone.

Too Bad All Around

Look for calls for more "gun control" to stop "gun violence," even though the psycho nutjob was wanted for murder and sucker-assaulted a "security" guard -- as he could have done to any "Only One." [More]

Too bad Jersey "laws" mean animals like this are pretty much guaranteed no mere citizens, who might not be obvious targets, might be around to deter "success."  And even without 'em, it's not like Walgreens' is sympathetic to armed defense by the mundanes, no matter how much more successful they might be.

We're the Only Ones Searching Enough

Officers in Durham have apparently discovered that they can create the legal pretext for a search by lying about calls to 9-1-1 emergency services that never actually took place. The tactic is apparently legal — and commonplace — according to an officer’s sworn statements. [More]

So if you know they're liars, and have such flagrant disregard for rights they swore to uphold, why would you believe them when they swear to anything else?

This brings to mind one of the ways gun snitch lines invite official abuse:

Or what if I'm one of those policemen Commissioner Kelly doesn't trust? What if I have no probable cause for a search warrant, but I don't want to let the Fourth Amendment get in my way any more than the Second does in NYC? Why not just call in the tip myself, and enjoy a toll-free bypass around the Constitution?

A Reversal of Reality

“That’s exactly the reverse of reality,” Blumenauer said. “Our continued reliance on single-occupant vehicles in too much of America and on gallons of fuel consumed to pay for it places rural and small town Americans at a significant disadvantage, because today too many of them have no alternatives to driving. [More]

Figures this blather would come from a doctrinaire Prozi via the Center for American Progress, where every day is Opposite Day.

Just so we're clear: An Oregon Bolshevik wants more (and eventually all) disarmed subjects economically forced out of their cars and riding on public transportation.  Where the  only ones who can be armed are...you guessed it. And fortunately, they know when not to shoot, like when they lock themselves away from harm and watch a passenger get stabbed (and then claim credit for a collar made by the victim). Which is not to say they can't spring into action when circumstances warrant.  Right, Oscar?

Earl Blumenauer: There's a man of the people for ya!

Talk about a reversal of reality.

Eric's Insomnia

Holder: 'Homegrown Violent Extremists … Keep Me Up at Night' [More]

Nice SPLC-style conflation job there, AG Holder! And of course you realize "the experience that we had in Boston" involved foreign enemies imported into this country by calculated "immigration" laws.

Funny thing: Eric must not have had any trouble at all sleeping after Monty Wilkinson told him Brian Terry had been killed -- the night of the murder. Why, months later, he was swearing under oath he'd never heard of Fast and Furious until he saw something about it on the news.Apparently the news didn't upset him enough to want to find out more about a call he got in the middle of the night precipitated by Dennis Burke,  the DOJ functionary at the heart of "managing" Gunwalker damage control.

By all accounts, he slept like a baby.

If you believe those accounts.

Take the Money and Run

Officials say the subject did not brandish a weapon but motioned as if he had a weapon. He verbally threatened the teller when she did not immediately comply with his demand. [More]

Sorry. If you want my money, you're going to have to do better than that.

Then again, it's not her money and the guy was probably a lot bigger than she is. I also see the Lormet Credit Union in Elyria has been reported as posted "No Guns," so my guess is the one in nearby  Wellington probably has the same rules. 

[Via Sweet Baboo]

Point, Counterpoint

Frank Jackson doesn't have authority to pass binding new anti-gun edicts and he knows it. [More]

He's doing this for headlines to help mask his dismal record on everything else -- not that he need worry, as his constituency would most likely reelect this guy if he was caught naked and biting the heads off hamsters.

Some of the comments from "our side" show not everyone is thinking things they advocate through. If you think preemption can, at times, provide superior alternatives than a patchwork quilt, say so -- but remember to acknowledge that door can swing both ways. And as for "access to minors," we talked about that, as well as other ways things are being deceptively couched in order to trick even gun rights advocates into considering them "reasonable."

'Gun Death' Rate Scams Designed to Defraud Public Out of Rights

The problem is not with gun owners. We are not robbers. We are not killers. Get this straight: It's not our fault. And anyone who says otherwise is a liar – one who wants to trick you out of your rights if they can't outright steal them from you. [More]

A False Dichotomy?

Mike Vanderboegh spoke late last month to the Howard County chapter of Open Carry Texas, where he offered a false dichotomy to frame the long-running debate on federalism as a life-and-death struggle between patriots and domestic enemies. [More]

OK, you just made a claim, Travis. How come you didn't follow up and explain in point-by-point detail why it's false, and why you believe people who mean to rule can live in harmony with those who won't let them?

We're the Only Ones Whose Left Hand Doesn't Know What the Right Hand is Doing Enough

Shuck told investigators he instead meant to shoot Butts with a stun gun, but the probable cause statement notes that the right-handed officer had to reach across his body for the much lighter Taser attached to the left side of his belt. [More]

So it was just easier to shoot him? Aw, shucks.

Sorry, I'm reminded of the difference between an epileptic corn husker and a prostitute with diarrhea... if you don't already know, do yourself a favor and don't ask.

Bloomberg comment exemplifies elitist gun-grabber snobbery

How very intolerant, to play the rube card. How very bigoted. How very backward and – wouldn't urban sophisticates call it “provincial”? It’s not surprising. It’s exactly what we have come to expect from "forward leaners" with their insufferable air of superiority, and their quickness (and eagerness) to dismiss those clinging to flyover ways as lesser beings.

This Day in History: July 11

On this day in 1782, British Royal Governor Sir James Wright, along with several civil officials and military officers, flee the city of Savannah, Georgia, and head to Charleston, South Carolina. As part of the British evacuation, a group consisting of British regulars led by General Alured Clarke traveled to New York, while Colonel Thomas Brown led a mixed group of rangers and Indians to St. Augustine, Florida. The remaining British soldiers were transported to the West Indies aboard the frigate HMS Zebra and the sloop of war HMS Vulture. [More]

They don't commemorate and celebrate this? It deserves no passing mention?  I'd think British Evacuation Day or some such would merit a festival or something... Anybody from there who can correct my limited impression?

‘Highly valued’ gun rights sponsor offers authorities gun disabling technology

You know, essentials. For roughing it.

Full Court Press

SCOTUS has been ducking that issue for a long time, along with that most inconvenient of clauses, “shall not be infringed.” They bought some time with prior rulings that allowed for enough “reasonable restrictions” and “compelling state interests” to give a nod to individual rights while not overturning the status quo. But as for full-blown recognition for what Tench Coxe, a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress, advocated, that’s something they just won’t cede, because those who have power rarely voluntarily share it.

And the Subversion Continues

Gee, why do you suppose this is really happening? [More]

And how come it's not discrimination when it involves a James Taylor concert for Obama?

Authorized Journalists on Parade

 [More]

I took the screen shot in case they edit the text. These are the people Joe Biden calls "legitimate news media" and Dianne Feinstein calls "real reporters."

What else would we expect from "A Gannett Company," renowned for the journalistic integrity standards they set when it comes to firearms issues? Besides, it's not like metroscribes in Arizona have access to people they could consult with who know anything about guns ... and it's not like they'd be interested anyway.

Then again, perhaps it was a FrankenRuger...

A Non-Scientific Poll

Still, it shows something about grassroots vs. AstroTurf, don't you think? [More]

The Long, Hot Summer

Enjoy, Golden Staters! [More]

It was the Only Ones who got you into a town-burning riot the last time, too.  Just look what the guy who wrote this HuffPo piece said about that:

“There will be another Rodney King,” said Earl Ofari Hutchison of the Urban Policy Roundtable.

And enjoy, Only Ones: These Prozis who expect you to do their insatiable bidding nonetheless hate you while you employ violence on their behalf, and will throw you under the bus at the first opportunity.

When things erupt again, there are going to be some people who find themselves defenseless and terrified -- and others who never gave a damn about all those "common sense gun safety laws"in the first place. Some of them are pretty scary.

Not that all "outlaws" will necessarily be the bad guys...

COSTCO Members Only

Why not make it "progressive" members only?  After all, COSTCO's agenda could not be more clear.

Their ideology:

Costco removing D'Souza's 'America' from shelves

Who they support:

When he takes the stage Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, Costco co-founder Jim Sinegal will try to offer a successful CEO’s case that President Obama has been good for the economy and business.

What they think about your right to keep and bear arms:

Costco policy prohibits firearms to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers.

Obviously, they can do what they like. So can you.

Why anyone who is not a "progressive" would have anything to do with this company is a matter for introspection, although if you are friends or relatives with a member, don't be shy about urging them to do the right thing. And if you decide to withdraw your patronage, why not go a step further and take full advantage of their return/refund policy?

We gun owners can do one other thing: Contact Sentry and tell them there are other manufacturers you prefer to give your business to because they aren't sleeping with the enemy.
