It's Not Just the Second Amendment

Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes is asking for a federal investigation into a sign posted by a gun store owner ... “If this gun dealer feels that it’s legal for him to display negative images of the president of the United States, keep in mind that he must have some kind of license,” Stokes said. “We’re asking the attorney general of the United States to do an investigation and let’s see whether the rules and regulations have been violated.” [More]
What a moron. These fascist thugs don't like the First Amendment, either.

And why did the gun store owner post the sign?

Hubris or Agenda?

Star Tribune: Donald Trump: Supporters would stick with me if I shot someone 'in the middle of Fifth Avenue'

ABC News: Donald Trump Jokes He Could 'Shoot Somebody' Without Losing Support

Everybody else:

They're all leaving out two critical pieces of information-- context and who he is attributing that sentiment to:
The people, my people, are so smart, and you know what else they say about my people -- the polls -- they say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any votes, OK? It's like incredible.
Look, I realize The Donald is responsible for no shortage of problematic past actions and statements -- I've written about them numerous times. I'm not a Kool Aid-drinking Trumpster, and agree with Mike on the dangers of demagogues.

That said, I'm not going to be distracted by yet more Fourth Estate Fifth Columnist sins of omission and manipulation. Especially when we see they've praised outrageous statements from actual criminal Democrats.

It's the way the guy talks, and the political/media establishment is desperate for whatever avenue of attack it can pry open. Make more of Trump's unscripted spontaneous statement than that if you like, but just understand plenty of people with an agenda to impose are counting on that.

Now You See It, Now You Don't

Gavin Newsom updated his Super Bowl contest entry page:

[Click to enlarge]

He entered the "no purchase necessary" information  after I sent him the link to my AmmoLand piece noting its absence. Unsurprisingly, I soon noticed he deleted the link from his Facebook page...

So I added it back this morning:


And lo and behold, it was quickly removed again:


His page, his rules?

When used for political purposes, other rules must also be considered.  And even Google recognizes the editorial as qualifying for its news feed.

I may have more to say on this...

Breaking: Large Fed Presence IVO Malheur

SIZE: 200+ Fed vehicles, 400-500 agents/LEOs, mostly tac guys  [More]
WRSA has some intel passed on from a reported on-scene source, who I'm told is deemed reliable. It does seem consistent with other chatter I'm hearing.

As we've seen throughout, there's no shortage of bad assumptions and outright disinfo obfuscating things, including from some assumed to be friendlies, so always bear that in mind. Unfortunately, the alternative is to not say anything until it's too late.

I'm just hoping no one passes off my symbolic Fauxtoshop as real.

UPDATE: Oath Keepers posts more details.

Underestimating Gun-Grabbing Marine Leads to Dangerous Assumptions

It's Time Now for 'Censoring with Gavin'

Well, Newsom took down my comments! He censored me, and the prosecutors’ opinion piece. [More]
I know exactly how you feel.  He removed my link to this piece from here.

Ah well, he probably had other things he wanted to focus on:



Murphy's Law

How could law-and-order candidate Christie allow terrorists to buy guns? [More]
He doesn't. He never has.

Someone convicted of a disqualifying crime cannot "legally" buy a gun in New Jersey, and lying Obama apparatchik Chris Murphy knows that.

He's just counting on low-information, emotion-driven readers not knowing that.

That and he's relying on Pynchon's truism...

Open Admissions

So basically they're telling Obama they support registration-enabling background checks and enforcing existing Intolerable Acts... [More]

These ain't my leaders.

Attack of the NeoCons

National Review is publishing a special edition of the magazine that argues against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, saying he is “not deserving of conservative support in the caucuses and primaries.” [More]
That's because they're cheap labor whores who have thus far ignored calls to produce one shred of verifiable documentation that the pathway to citizenship illegal and legal immigration they're abetting and demanding won't change the electorate -- and thus all three branches of government -- in a way that favors "progressive" globalist goals.

Pale Rider

The rider has been in every appropriations bill since 1996. [More]
Rather than taking a leadership position to explain why that is, I expect some who have enjoyed gun owner support will be politically inclined to hide and then "compromise."

Without even doing anything about this.

"Legal authority" my ... eye.

Inadvertent Display

Florida’s elected law enforcement officials ... today announced a proposal to ensure that law abiding, concealed carry permit holders are protected from arrest and prosecution for inadvertently displaying a firearm. [More]
You have to wonder what kind of oath-breaking jerk would do that anyway.

A Shot in the Dark

The suspect, who has not been identified, could face a number of criminal charges. [More]
So identify him.  There's been enough time, but so far, all the news reports leave that out.

I want to know who this moron is.

[Via Mike H]


Another Plea

Funds for Shaylyn [More]
This is very tragic. Please do what you can. Contact him if you have any questions.

I'd considered using Red Basket to raise funds for Mike, but decided to go the direct appeal route since he has a relatively broad potential support base. In this case, I would suggest reviewing their "no deductions" program and beginning the application process immediately.

We're the Only Ones Cheaper By the Dozen Enough

A former Oklahoma City police officer who was found guilty of raping more than a dozen women while on duty was sentenced to 263 years in prison on Thursday. [More]
Actually, it was 13, that is a "baker's dozen."

Some years back a friend asked if that meant 11 was a butcher's dozen.

Speaking of Cataclysms

Dole should know. [More]

Betraying us on guns didn't help.

Neither did his wife.

The hell with such "Republicans."

Now seems as appropriate a time as any to dust off this old post:

Viagra Falls

or Falling On Hard Times

Bob and Liddy Dole, former GOP presidential tag team contenders and proponents of the federal War on Drugs, have endorsed and admitted to regularly using a chemical substance for excitement, recreation and pleasure. The drug is Viagra, and its use is being championed by the same generation and socioeconomic clique that demands criminal penalties for those who express different preferences in pharmaceutical stimulation.

To claim that Viagra is a legally prescribed treatment for a medical condition is to miss the point, for the impaired ability to get it up is neither crippling nor life-threatening. And, because this hardship (or lack thereof) is more prevalent among seniors than among those of breeding age, it's fair to conclude that most men taking Viagra engage in sex for recreation rather than procreation.

As with many street drugs, Viagra delivers a physiological response that wears off after each use, requiring habitual dependency and chronic reapplication to restore its effects. But it does not carry the stigma associated with other recreational drugs, in no small part because Viagra junkies are high-end, "respectable" customers. Still, unlike marijuana, but similar to some of the more hard core prohibited substances, Viagra has been associated with a statistically significant increase in heart attacks and deaths among its users-many who are willing to risk the odds for just one more high.

Yet it is from this pool of artificially turgid and privileged notables that the hue and cry against unsanctioned drug use is the loudest. These, more often than not, are the same folks who would throw a cancer patient like Todd McCormick or Steve Kubby in jail for smoking pot to alleviate the ravages of their illnesses and the side effects of treatment. Or put an inner-city addict away for daring to obtain his release from an officially unapproved chemical compound.

Does the word "hypocrisy" begin to suggest itself here?

Maybe we're going the wrong way with this. Perhaps instead of pushing drug dependency in nationally televised commercials, Bob Dole should swear off the stuff, admit that he and Liddy pulled a boner in ever allowing themselves to get hooked in the first place, and encourage Americans to "just say 'no.'"

Perhaps it's time to ban Viagra. Then let's see if its users defy the law and create an underground market. Let's watch the street price soar. Let's find out if the quality of an illegal fix meets dosage and purity standards, or if seniors will be having seizures or dropping dead from black market pills cut with God-knows-what. Let's demand that something be done about the violent crime endemic to the illegal Viagra trade (maybe another gun control law?).

Let's declare a War on Viagra and appoint a federal "czar" (perhaps a reformed Mr. Dole?) to mastermind the assault against this insidious threat! Let's thrill to Ninja-clad government shock troops breaking down some WWII vet's door and, if he's lucky, only dragging the old boy off in shackles. And perhaps, once he sees his house and life savings seized without benefit of due process, and the realization sinks in that he's probably going to die in prison and leave his wife destitute and broken, the thought might dawn on him:

"How did this happen? This is supposed to be America."

Newsom Super Bowl Contest a Reminder of Selective Regard for Rules

Curious isn’t it, that a man who has demonstrated time and again how he can’t – or won’t – control himself is so obsessed with controlling others? Telling, isn’t it, that someone who has proven so untrustworthy to those who have known him best is so distrustful of others? [More]
A career scumbag is offering a chance at game tickets for rights. No doubt there'll be plenty of takers demanding to give up yours along with their own.

Sins of Omission

The liberal media avoid reporting on President Obama’s many scandals at any cost, and Fast and Furious is no exception. [More]
True enough.

And not to put too fine a point on things -- but if I don't bring this up nobody else will -- the "conservative media" have avoided reporting on how the story came out in the first place, how everybody they do give credit to learned of it, and all of the groundwork that was done before and since by names they never mention.

I don't expect to change that Mike and I have been completely written out of the mass media narrative, but I also don't intend to stop pointing out what's undeniably documented and what everyone can verify for themselves.

Fair is fair, and especially in Mike's case, earned recognition should be acknowledged sooner rather than later.  If these guys want to bill themselves as "Accuracy in Media," how about some complete accuracy?

Anyone Who Can't be Trusted with a Keyboard Can't be Trusted without a Custodian

At a Wednesday presser, interim Chicago police superintendent Escalante blamed the “spike” in shootings on the fact that many of the city’s gang members are driven by constant agitation on social media sites such as Facebook. [More]

I know, go easy on the ad hominem, but in this case, the man deserves to be the focus of the argument, plus I just figured out who he reminds me of: Kif from Futurama.

Sigh. If only they would disarm you and me. After all, it doesn't pay to piss off the people who keep you in power.

A .50-caliber rifle found at Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman’s hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun-smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News. [More]

That's just as diversionary as calling it a "botched sting." (Oh, look, they did.)

Something's "botched" here, alright...
The key to what was really going on is right in front of everyone:
This is the third time a weapon from the Fast and Furious program has been found at a high-profile Mexican crime scene. 
Making sure that happened is what it was all about.

The Terry murder, and the initial allegation by 1desertrat, meant they couldn't hide their role in setting that up to happen.

Much Ado About Nothing

The Department itself has already publicly revealed the sum and substance of the very material it is now seeking to withhold. Since any harm that would flow from the disclosures sought here would be merely incremental, the records must be produced. [More]

It's not like they're going to bring out anything related to Kevin O'Reilly or what Hillary's people must have known about in order to preclude an ITAR violation, or about what Holder knew the night Brian Terry was killed-- and then lied about.

Plus, the judge "did leave open the possibility that some of the documents containing sensitive information related to foreign policy or law enforcement, or which dare covered by attorney-client privilege, could be withheld," and "The administration can appeal the ruling."

But keep acting like you're some kind of pit bull for justice, Jason Chaffetz.
