And Now for Something Important

I sometimes forget the real reasons for the internet.

If We Knew You Were Coming, We'd Have Baked a Cake

Well, it was his wedding... [More]

I wonder who baked it, and what would have happened if a Christian baker had refused the order...

Welcome to the New LA

Nice building murals! [More]

Everybody remembers what happened when an artist tried to put this one up...?

Blast from the Past

I was researching something completely different this morning and came across this photo of Sarah Brady at my neighborhood park from when I was still living in SoCal. I realized this was where and when I was threatened by an "Only One" for presuming to ask a question without "legitimate credentials," giving eventual birth to the term "Authorized Journalists."

Nice unsecured guns by the "common sense gun safety" folks, eh? Oh well, I suppose if someone had been foolish enough to do a snatch and grab, there were plenty of legitimate credentials ready to open fire in the crowd.

Those who would disarm us demand to control everything, even a citizen asking a question of a public figure at a public event at a public place. And they'll use the force of the state to bend us to their will. It's the "progressive" way.

Things could have gone differently, had the man in the suit been a bit dumber and more kneejerk violence-prone, at which point, he'd have had a full continuum of force at his disposal. Naturally, when an indignant hive insect who witnessed the official intimidation attempt wrote a letter to the local paper, his beef was with gun activists "self-righteously cloaking themselves in the First Amendment," or some such language.

Want a quick example of what would happen if citizens didn't so "cloak themselves," and left everything to the "official" narrative spinners?

Realizing that the only job a guy like me could ever hope to get with a "real" newspaper would be delivering them, here's how my hometown paper imposed its ignorance on its readership over Operation Fast and Furious. Here's my response, which is confined to a niche readership, ensuring the record wouldn't be corrected for those exposed only to parroted talking points.

New York Times Champions Suicide, Except with Guns

You’ll note The New York Times isn’t demanding to disarm cops—yet (give ’em a few years). And they also seem to kind of actually like suicide — as long as no one uses a gun. It appears this is one group that actually would feel better “if they was pushed outta windows.” [More]
And that's only as long as they're not convicted murderers, in which case, we're talking cruel and unusual, here...

Delta Force

A professor is dead and an active shooter is allegedly loose on the Delta State campus near Jobe Hall. [More]
Are no rules sacred?
Weapons on Campus The Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning hereby prohibits the possession of pistols, firearms or other weapons in any form by any person other than duly authorized law enforcement officials on its institution premises or at any of its institutions or student functions off campus, regardless of whether such person possesses a valid permit to carry such pistols, firearms or weapons. Also, section 97-37-17 of the Mississippi Code makes it a felony for any student to possess or carry, whether openly or concealed, any firearm on University property.

Secrecy Surrounds

...it remains unclear whose bullets, including police bullets, struck the dead and injured ... [More]
Well, I know what I'm doing to push that along, CBSNews. I don't suppose you'd care to start amplifying?

Time was, you had people I could work with.

A Familiar Pattern

Turi is facing federal trial this December on two counts that he allegedly violated the arms export control act by making false statements. Turi denies the charges, and alleges there was a rogue weapons operation run with the knowledge of Mrs. Clinton's state department. [More]
Why am I not surprised?

What Kind of Racist Would Object to This?

Gang leaders in El Salvador testing limits of their power in L.A., rest of U.S. [More]

I'm certainly glad our government is insuring domestic Tranquility and securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.  Because if they weren't, well, what would we need them for?

See, when arrogant parasites have unlimited plunder resources, they can pull in-your-face crap like this and now what are you gonna do? Spend your finite resources for years on suing them in courts which they control?

Too bad, because impossibility has a way of leading to inevitability, and it's all so avoidable.

Captain's Log


Seeing the Wisdom

During my 20 years of service, there were plenty of times I disagreed with the brass. Now, 20 years later, I see the wisdom of this Marine's policy against putting weapons on recruiters in shopping malls. I trust Major General Brilakis judgment from his 34 years of experience in the Marine Corps. [More]
I'm sure the sockpuppet lick job is appreciated, "BenRound."

When is a Park Not a Park?

"Chilhowee Park, although its name would indicate it's a park, it's really not a park," Knoxville Law Director Charles Swanson said Thursday. "You will see on our website we have a list of 81 parks that our Parks and Rec Department maintains, and Chilhowee Park is not one of those." [More]
Sounds reasonable.

After all, ATF isn't really an agency.

Crappy beer anyway.

Don't Rock the Boat!

Establishment water-bearer John Kasich warns against taking principled stands. [More]

Which is par for the course.

Tricks of the Trade

Showing Animals Respect and Kindness is an animal rights group that secretly filmed a fundraiser for Senator Jim Inhofe last year, where guests were shooting tame, banded pigeons that were thrown into the air. [More]
So how does NADIA JUDITH ENCHASSI know the pigeons were "tame"?

Easy-- look at the story she linked to for her rewrite:
“These tame pigeons were hand-thrown into the air, shot for fun," Chaifetz said. "They were kicked, tortured - all so Senator Inhofe could raise money from people who enjoy this type of killing."
And what kind of skin in the game does Chaifetz have? You can contact him at the SHARK "press room" and find out!

That's some "objective reporting" there, Nadia! Good thing there are no other considerations...

Say, could it be the end goal is to ban ALL hunting, along with raising domesticated animals for any kind of food or other consumption or use? And that the Astroturf prozis will take whatever increments they can get, and use whatever beachhead they can establish to launch the next, deeper incursion? Just like they do with "gun control"?

If so, they can count on NBC's KFOR "News" Channel 4 to amplify a one-sided agenda narrative!

Good for Me But Not for Thee

Thursday afternoon Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun advocacy group Everytown for America held a small rally in Washington D.C. in front of the Capitol Building in an effort to shame Congress into passing gun control legislation. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe spoke at the event and brought his armed body guard with him. [More]

Snap-On Tools

Can you see an attacker coming at you and taking time to snap this stupid thing on? [More]

And then only firing one shot and checking to see it that was enough?

I'd be interested to see if a professional trainer of any repute teaches delayed and then interrupted response as a smart tactic to survive and prevail by.

Tell me there won't be a Lee Paige variation, where someone with his booger hook on the bang switch tries putting this contraption on while trying to beat out Tueller drill realities.

Besides, I have a cheaper non-lethal alternative: Throw-A-Gun TM-- well, at least non-lethal for the attacker.

Something Must Be Done!

The other thing we can and should do is look at Parker’s past, because his transformation into a gun law crusader was not so much a road to Damascus conversion as it was a direction he was already receptive to traveling in, albeit he never had the motivation before now to devote his life to the issue. Back in 2007, Parker ran for the Virginia House of Delegates as a Democrat. At the time, Virginia Citizens Defense League, the state’s premiere grassroots gun rights group, sent its political questionnaire to all candidates. Their tally sheet shows no responses to the questions next to his listed name, which, per VCDL, “frequently indicates indifference, if not outright hostility, toward the right to keep and bear arms.” [More]
If Andy Parker is committed to doing "whatever it takes," my latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column notes we have to be as well.

The Company They Keep

Singer-songwriter Steve Earle has partnered with the Southern Poverty Law Center to take a stand against the Confederate battle flag and is urging Mississippi to remove the emblem from its state flag with the release of his new song, “Mississippi It’s Time.” [More]
That's because SPLC has changed its tune. I guess Dees also no longer needs to take Klan money to defend violent racists.

That's what can happen when you're rich enough to employ mercenaries. Fortunately, the Secretary of State said there wasn't enough "evidence" to invalidate the signatures.

A Legal Question

From WarOnGuns Correspondent Doug C:
As the Heller opinion affirmed gun ownership as in individual right, and as individual rights may not be taxed (Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943)), how is it that we pay 10% FET on the retail price of a new gun, sales tax on any gun purchased via a licensee, 11% FET on the retail price of ammo + sales tax? ITAR tax if you're a manufacturer...etc, etc. You get the idea. It would be very interesting to get a gunny attorneys take on this if you know any that are interested.

Antis Would Rather Foster Children Be Neglected or Killed than Live in Home with Guns

At least they won’t need to worry about living

This appears to be yet another in a never-ending list of examples demonstrating that for “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day. The whole object of child protective services is to protect children, and of family services to serve families. In this case, the tax-feeding bureaucrats would clearly rather see children killed than protected by foster parents with a gun, and they’d rather see children institutionalized in state facilities than have the opportunity to live in a nurturing home environment.

This is not only sanctioned, it's being counted on.

So if only "progressive" politicians would get behind citizen disarmament and the media would give them amplifiers, we'd all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up and eatin' that rainbow stew?  That's your theory, associate professor of political science at Georgetown University Danny Hayes?

I checked this guy out on "Rate My Professor," and he's got pretty good grades. Of course when you consider the following is even a factor (and what influence that has on overall perceptions), along with the credentials of his evaluators, it's hardly a testament to minds being taught how to critically think:
