Hundreds of students at the University of Texas at Austin will protest a new law that will allow more guns on campus not with signs or sit-ins, but by "strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks." Their mantra? #CocksNotGlocks [More]Children. Figures they'd pick dangerous assault weapons with no legitimate spurting purpose.
Sign the Petition to Legalize Open Carry in Florida [More]If you're from Florida, or know anyone who is, why not take a moment to sign this / pass this info along?
What you may not know is that if the check isn’t completed within 72 hours, then the gun can be sold without the background check. [More]So the "progressive" thing to do would be to extend the infringements indefinitely.
EPA spends millions on military-style weapons, watchdog group reports [More]I trust they've done the required environmental impact study?
UTEP speech and expression policies provide authorized alternatives to the sign posted outside Mr. Smith-Soto's classroom, which inarguably can discourage the lawful exercise of rights by students who fear the potential academic impacts of teacher bias. Political preference signs that contravene duly enacted law and create a hostile and discriminatory environment fall afoul of UTEP policies. If you allow that in this instance, you open the door to other personnel posting signs that different individuals and groups may regard as harassment.
Case in point: Would you remain silent if a Christian professor posted a "No same sex marriages" sign outside his classroom?
Whether you oppose or support a given issue is irrelevant. What takes precedence is equal application of policy. When that does not exist, enforcement becomes problematic, as giving one employee a pass will create a discrimination liability for UTEP if another is disciplined over a violation.Her reply:
Thanks for sharing your perspectives, which I have forwarded to the UTEP Campus Carry Task Force.Far be it from me to argue with a Higher Education Visionary. I guess that means anybody and everybody on campus now has the official green light to post whatever they like wherever they like, which is pretty much the way things ought to be at public universities.
Looks like the loyal conservative candidate for Speaker is Daniel Webster, R - Florida.
Let’s be honest. The Second Amendment was passed in an era when organized police forces were few and citizen militias were useful in maintaining the peace. Its original authors could not have anticipated a time when the weapons we have a right to bear now include military-grade assault weapons that have turned our streets into battlefields. The Second Amendment’s original intent has been perverted by those who, as Pope Francis recently commented, have profited mightily. Surely there is a middle ground between the original intent of the amendment and the carnage we see today. [More]Yes, let's be honest.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office was more involved in a $20.5 million school contract with a now-indicted consultant than previously disclosed, public records indicate, but his administration has refused to release hundreds of emails that could provide a deeper understanding of how the deal came to... [More]Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town. It's the Chicago way. Just ask Obama.
It’s pretty revealing – not only do these sanctimonious … things not want their countrymen to have the capability of armed defense, they ridicule the concept and the faith of anyone who would presume simply to fight back with whatever means are at hand. That all goes back to their beloved “monopoly of force,” that is, a “monopoly of violence.” And CSGV knows who advocated that, because Executive Director Josh Horwitz wrote a HuffPo piece trying to justify it, citing the philosophical progenitor of the concept, German sociologist and political economist Max Weber. What he didn’t share was that his ideological hero Weber supported approving Article 48 into the Weimar constitution, establishing “emergency powers” to bypass Reichstag consent, and allowing Adolf Hitler’s rise to unchallenged power. [More]The stupid outraged Prozis are having a foot-stamping hissy fit over the exact same advice DHS gives for the last resort.

The Obama administration has no plans to name a permanent director for the agency, and career agent Thomas Brandon has been serving as the acting chief since April.CUATF, September 22:
Word is, Brandon was advised this week he AINT the guy. He will not be nominated as a permenant Director. Sometimes they get it right.Everybody remembers where the first crack in the Gunwalker dam appeared, right?
Rep. Tim Murphy ... is the author of a bill that addresses the mental health issues he believes are central to the mass shootings crisis. [More]Just remember, Stalin "adjudicated" mental patients. And then remember another "law." If the Bill of Rights are going to apply to all, anyone subject to "gun disability" based on mental health ought to have the same protections afforded heinous criminals, that is, the equivalent of a jury trial -- otherwise we're putting the fate and the rights of people into the hands of those who may have a personal and/or professional conflict of interest. And ditto for "legal restoration" of rights-- I assume clear protocols are in place where a medical professional will not place malpractice charge concerns over the rights of a patient?
SWAT team descends on CO school over student’s Halloween costume [More]And Claudine Lamos hit the nail on the head. I'm sure Prozis decrying the "racist" reaction to Clock Boy will be similarly indignant.
Gun shops work with anti-suicide program [More]So what's the gun shop's liability if they actively participate in the program and then miss one?
After it was discovered that GrC's mass shooting tracker website was using incidents involving pellet guns and passing them off as mass shootings I got curious as to what else was hiding in their lists. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the answer is quite a bit. [More]Interesting.
A Chanute man was indicted Tuesday on charges of manufacturing silencers in violation of federal firearms laws, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said. [More]Obama nominee Barry sure looks pleased with himself.
The men are accused of involvement in a conspiracy in which firearms were illegally purchased and sold, then smuggled to Mexico, authorities said. [More]Gee, where would they ever even get such an idea...?
McCarthy has a challenge from the right, and Cheney's statement should help McCarthy with some of the hardliners, in part by giving them conservative cover to support him. [More]Only if they're really phony establishment tools being deliberately indifferent to this and this.
Diller has a long track record contributing to Democratic candidates. In the 2008 election he contributed to numerous Democratic candidates including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. But he also gave money to Republican presidential candidate John McCain...Gosh, you'd almost think Carroll Quigley was on to something...
Right-wing rage monkey Michelle Malkin... [More]You forgot the "tailless" modifier, Salon.

In other words, yes, we really do want to take your guns. Maybe not all of them. But a lot of them. [More]That's pretty ambitious, Josh. Why not start small and see how it works out, plus claim an exclusive for your readers?
Of course he doesn’t know. You know why he doesn’t know? Because he is not, and has never been in his son’s life. He’s a complete failure as a father, he should be embarrassed to even show his face in public. He’s the problem here. [More]Hear, Hear!
Assuming the “intelligence” will be ultimately exploitable to build cases involving U.S. citizens, what assurances are there that it will be gained in accordance with individual protections mandated in the Bill of Rights? Not to cast aspersions on member cities like Beirut, but just what “best practices” are acceptable, and will the representatives of our people, that would be the Congress, have unfettered oversight of the process? What further protections will there be against foreign law influencing decisions required to comport with “the supreme Law of the Land,” something more than one “progressive” Supreme Court Justice has expressed an interest in considering flexible? [More]And on top of all that, they've deliberately anonymously registered their website.
Someone in Chicago has been shot every 2.84 hours this year for a total of 2,349 shootings during the period of January 1, 2015 to October 6, 2015, according to crime stats published by the Chicago Tribune. [More]Those are some stats. They kind of speak volumes about "gun control," don't they?
Oath Keepers call for Waffle House boycott [More]No it didn't. I included an unequivocal statement with a link for a purpose. You'd think if someone was going to presume to write about a subject with anything approaching understanding what he's reading, he'd, at a minimum, you know, click on it...
MILM is an acronym for “mother I’d like to meet,” which is apparently a slightly less sexualized “MILF” reference to the anti-gun group Moms Demand Action — which Codrea frequently targets with complaints.No it's not.
Codrea dismissed the claim as after-the-fact damage control.Did I? I thought I made a point of specifically calling it "a diversion to mask discrimination against all gun owners."
The footage, posted on social media, begins with a Los Angeles police officer getting out of his patrol car, followed by a shot of a handgun held by the person shooting the video. That individual was recording the video from inside a car parked behind the officer. [More]The default assumption is that this is a manifestation of hatred and violence, as opposed to a demonstration that people who do the same thing every day to citizens are not the "Only Ones" capable of following and recording someone while armed. In terms of creating a bigger divide, historically, LAPD has proven more than capable of doing that all by their own selves.
Using a 5,200 person telephoneDavid T. Hardy found a study from 1997.surgery[survey-- see comment by Ed], authors conclude that annually about 1.9 million people draw a gun during a home intrusion, but don't actually see the intruder, another 503,000 draw a gun and do see the intruder and (not surprisingly) 497,000 report the intruder fled in response to the gun. [More]
[E]very jab you get in at your fellow establishmentarians like Marco Rubio is going to be used against them by the left. [More]Says the leftist, who wants to guarantee that at least there will be a "pathway to citizenship" Republican if the Democrats implode. Or are we supposed to believe he really cares and is just trying to be helpful?
gratuitous [makes his anti-gun point, trying to sound all reasonable and adult]Sho Rembo [makes his pro-gun counterpoint]gratuitous: F*!# off, @$$hole. Nobody asked you.
A former sheriff and his chief deputy were unaware of an illicit trade in machine guns operating secretly in their department, according to testimony in a federal gun running trial. [More]"Barn, did you know any of this was goin' on?"
The Little Sisters of the Poor is an international Catholic institute that takes care of the elderly. The Sisters consider it a sin to provide their employees health coverage for contraceptives (including drugs classified by the FDA as abortion-inducing) as required under Obamacare, and want the same kind of exemption given to churches. [More]Has the administration checked to make sure these guys are compliant?
The final statement in the resolution on gun violence states, “reflecting the traditional role of The United Methodist Church that has been one of safety and sanctuary, every United Methodist Church is officially declared a weapon-free zone.” [More]Inviting martyrdom to make a point?
HUNTER ESCAPES ATTACK BY SHOVING ARM DOWN BEAR'S THROAT [More]Sometimes you can't retreat from, or go around, over or under that which will destroy you. Sometimes, if you are to survive, the only way out is to go through.
Should Juanita Broaddrick have had a gun to defend herself from rape? Is she a liar? Yes or No?Basically, Clinton is dictating the terms of surrender to American gun owners and presuming they will just roll over and take it, and that she will have the power to go door-to-door and enforce her demands when a critical mass tells her to go pound sand. If a growing “I will not comply” movement has made an unenforceable dilemma for issuers of edicts in Connecticut, New York, and elsewhere, trying to impose the same thing that doesn’t work locally on a national scale seems the definition of insanity writ large. [More]
Combat Vets Destroy the NRA’s Heroic Gunslinger Fantasy [More]That presupposes such fantasies exist outside the sick minds of juveniles and anti-gun "progressives"-- but I repeat myself. It also presumes to have destroyed something other than the credibility of National Socialist Review with anyone capable of independent thought. Right off the bat, anti-gun male Joshua Holland reveals he's only interested in disparaging better men who don't share in his contemptible self-imposed helplessness.
Obama peddles gun control fable [More]Lies are easy to get people to swallow if you can hide relevant considerations that refute them. The important thing to remember is they are lies, the withholding of inconvenient facts is intentional, and the reason a lie is being told in the first place is because the person telling it wants to commit as fraud on those he is telling it to.
Obviously, if a manufacturer is out there cranking out poorly designed and constructed junk that blows up in your hand or fails to perform when you need it, no one wants to give the guy a pass, including (and especially) gun rights advocates. Similarly, if a car maker puts a model on the streets that bursts into flames as the steering wheel locks and the brakes fail, you’re not going to find a coalition of motorists clamoring to absolve them of all responsibility. But people would righteously object to holding automakers responsible for criminal abuses. If someone steals your car and plows into a school bus, who in their right mind would demand going after the manufacturer’s or the dealer’s deep pockets? What about if someone gets liquored up and ends up smashing into oncoming traffic or running over pedestrians? Should we start bankrupting shareholders and frog-marching CEOs? [More]My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.
Mrs. Clinton plans to push for imposing tighter gun-purchase background checks and banning certain military-style weapons, among other items. [More]Gotta make the world safe for that rapist "husband" of hers...
The organization known as Oath Keepers is demanding a “marketplace response” to Waffle House’s no-gun policy. [More]No, I made it unmistakeably clear, emphasizing the point with a link to my "Who Speaks for Oath Keepers?" piece, that I was, and I quote:
...speaking for myself...And I didn't "demand" -- I simply stated my position, gave my reasons, shared my response and said "I encourage..." and "I hope..." others would follow suit. If individuals in comments happen to agree with me, that's their right and their choice.
The thing about this issue is at it’s heart, it’s not about guns at all. It is whether or not businesses have the right to deny service to those they choose to.No, because the piece he's featuring never claimed otherwise. The issue is, at its heart, about not doing business with people who impose unacceptable and offensive conditions. If Waffle House or other entities won't offer a guarantee to back their actions, I see no reason to place myself under their imposed conditions.

Americans will be vastly outnumbered by mass immigration unless Congress hits the “pause” button on issuing new green cards. [More]Thanks goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!
The father of the Roseburg, Oregon, shooter said he doesn't know where his son got his weapons, and he declined to comment much on his son's mental state, but he was quick to say what he thought was to blame in the deadly college attack: Guns. [More]Yeah, with a great dad like you, what else could it be?
By the time he became aware of the shooting, a SWAT team had already responded. [More]So yeah, he did the rational thing and did not insert himself into the fluid dynamics of an ongoing law enforcement operation, where he would have become an immediate target. Only Media Masochists who willingly submit to this headcase would fondle themselves at the prospect of a different outcome.
If you're from Florida, let them hear from you. If you're not from Florida, tell every gun owner you know who is.On Tuesday, Oct 6th, at 9am the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee will hear the Open Carry and Strict Scrutiny bill. Committee members need to hear from you now. [More]
The Monday Poll: Stopping mass shootings [More]I have a problem with the exception in question 2, as there are not only plenty of non-violent "felons" who are so classified because they have run afoul of citizen disarmament edicts, but it also goes contrary to the inescapable truism. That in turn gets into the "Enforce existing gun laws" deception, one perpetrated this time by "leaders" on "our side," and which ought to be restated as "Enforce existing Intolerable Acts" just to put things in proper perspective.
JohnC says: Talk about knee jerk, and stupid narrow minded jackasses, you all are. O’Reille gives a talk supporting gun ownership and you attack him like he was a child molester. His statement at 5:11 is right on. Not many talking heads nationally have any support for private ownership of guns, but here is one who believes in the right and you folks destroy him because a few of his sentences and views are not lock step with your own. Well you that wrote these attack comments are way out of sync with most of the US. You better wake up to reason or you will be the ones destroying our gun rights. I am not a gun hater or a rights hater, I people, am a moderate well armed owner. I know you will all think that I should go straight to hell, and not pass go. Wake up, help those that support a citizens right to own guns even if they do not support your exact ideal. You my fellow gun owners are helping to lose our rights by your total inflexibility. Most people see you as gun nuts and do not listen at all to what you say. Some will listen to advocates like Mr. O’Reilly.If you have anything you would like to say in response, leave your reply comment over there if you want him to see it.
Illegal Immigrants Could Elect Hillary [More]So we can still give "A" grades" to "pro-gun" politicians enabling this, right?
[S]peaking for myself, I’ll never set foot in one again until they change their policy, publicly apologize, and begin proactively supporting and promoting the right to keep and bear arms. [More]This would be the perfect company to put a coordinated squeeze on.
Simms said Wagner's testimony could "affect all of his existing cases. When an officer gives false testimony under oath, that negatively affects the officer for good." [More]That's all it could negatively affect?
