Nothing to See Here, So He'd Like Us to Believe...

In any event, Heller is unlikely to be overturned. [More]
It doesn't have to be with tyrannical bench legislation like the Ninth Circuit just pulled.

I don't buy Winkler's "nothing to worry about/it ain't goin' nowhere" assurances.  This strikes me more as a "Don't let Hillary scare you" appeal to lull the opposition. Reverse polarity on SCOTUS's last 5 - 4 weigh-in, or make it 6 -3 or more, and let the insatiable, eye-rolling feeding frenzy begin.

Bitter Against Better Men

A San Francisco supervisor has accused the Blue Angels of striking terror into the community “when they strafe neighborhoods” and seeks a flyover ban on the “killing machines”... [More]
Sometimes, an ad hominem response is appropriate. What an @$$hole.

If you compare his "professional" bio to that of any member of the Blue Angels team, you'll get a pretty good indication of why he resents them so.

IN THE WAKE OF SAN JOSE, PATRIOTS MUST STEP UP TO PROTECT ALL AMERICANS AGAINST ASSAULT BY VIOLENT THUGS [More]
In reality, that's the way it's always been.

Nobody's expecting you to play Batman, and the impulse to adopt the Rick Blaine philosophy is understandable.  It is, after all, the responsibility of each of us to take appropriate personal safety precautions.

That said, when good people see others being victimized, we do what we can to render aid. Because ultimately, we're the one who will know if we behaved worthy of the sacrifices of those who came before us, or like miserable cowards.

And that said, I wonder how much I'd be willing to risk if the victim were wearing an Everytown or Hillary t-shirt...

We're the Only Ones Dislocated Enough

A Stockbridge man shot by police who had been dispatched to the wrong house died Thursday afternoon... [More]

It’s not a Fourth Amendment search if a cop swipes your credit card, court finds -- Mag stripe simply contains same info that's clearly visible, so no warrant needed. [More]

The Only Game in Town?

Less than three months after being denied access to a bank because he sells firearms, a North Carolina gun seller said the bank reversed its policy and offered him the financial products he needs to run his business. [More]

Means, Motive and Opportunity

House Speaker Paul Ryan is hoping Trump loses so he can run in four years. [More]
That's why I'm hoping more people learn about Paul Nehlen so he can #CantorRyan. Trump ought to reciprocate and endorse him.

All You Need to Know About Nazgûl

Any questions?

Funny though. The guys pushing this have been pretty brutal throughout the years against anyone trying something that wasn't their idea -- something about risking bad precedent. I think what they don't get is some will not comply.  I'm also sure that if any are caught, the civil obedience über alles crowd will accuse them of making us all look bad.

The Nuclear Option

U.S. nuclear regulators have granted Southern California Edison permission to arm private security guards at the defunct San Onofre power plant with assault rifles and “ammunition feeding devices.” [More]
We used to pass that place all the time on our way to go visit relatives in Oceanside. The first time elder feral son Uday asked "Daddy, what is that?" I told him "It's the Dolly Parton Museum," and the kids never questioned that.

One Woman's Opinion

A member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee said at a planning event Wednesday that she does not believe anyone in the United States should own a gun. [More]
This glowing "feminist" tribute says Bonnie worked her way up to CEO  of Claire from being a sales associate. Funny, they don't think it relevant to note it was her dad's company.

So, you can have lived in America for twenty years, from age thirty to fifty, and haven’t learned enough English in those twenty years to pass the Naturalization Test.  What does that tell you about the kind of citizen this person would make?  Here for twenty years and didn’t pick up enough English to pass the test.  Zero assimilation.

And it's not just about that "single issue."

White Privilege

That's also what I call our guinea pig, because in her case, it's all true. [More]

By the way, I wish the Opposite Day "progressives" at the United Church of Christ (think about that) would explain what the difference is between them saying "People of Color" and others adopting the NAACP's convention of saying "colored people," which we're now told is "racist."

These useful idiots sure diminish real racism, don't they?

We Will Control the Horizontal. We Will Control the Vertical. But Bottom Line, We Will Control.

No minutes will be taken. No reporters will be allowed in. There will be no opening press conference, no closing statement, and participants will be asked not to quote each other. [More]
Any resultant proposals/bills should provide full disclosure of foreign and domestic interests behind them. That should be binding on every U.S. citizen/holder of U.S. interests in attendance and the ones they represent, with penalties for violations.

Who will introduce and sponsor a Foreign Influence and Accountability Oversight Act? Certainly not this lump.

A good person to approach first might be Rand Paul -- it seems like the kind of thing he'd do.  It might also be a good executive action talking point for Trump to pick up and run with. I think I'll "tweet" them both.

Republican Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, facing a fight for his political survival, has withdrawn his support for Donald Trump’s presidential bid ... Kirk earlier had said he would support the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.  In May, he told CNN Trump might help his re-election effort.  [More]
So he's an opportunistic oath-breaker. Does that really surprise anyone?

He's sold us out on guns, immigration, the Supreme Court...

So what if a Democrat who's just as bad wins his seat? What the hell difference does it make, "Kirk Captains" [gag]?

At least if he's sent packing, the Republicans will be put on notice that there are certain minimal standards they're expected to adhere to. There's a lot to be said about the beneficial effects on others by making an example out of those who have unforgivably failed.

And an embedded enemy will have been expelled.

The Great Compromiser

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell takes pride in his reputation as a great compromiser. But the Republican leader won’t concede on one point: He refuses to let conservatives fight the White House for lower spending levels. [More]
That's because he knows which side his bread is buttered on. The establishment's.

That's because he's living proof of Quigley's Dictum:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)
Oh, and don't let this fool you. That's just to keep his place until the results of this kick in. That "single issue" two-word deflection sure is an elegant fraud.

Summer is almost here! We take a lot of our freedoms for granted during these warm months, with barbecues, road trips, and other summer activities we get to enjoy. But the fun won’t last forever. November is almost here, and if Question 1 passes, Nevada will be less free. [More]
And then Bloomberg will be free to move on to his next target. Your state, perhaps?

I've been privy to some online discussions by people knowledgeable of the on -the-ground situation in Nevada that NRA has moved in and tried to take over, elbowing out and ignoring the grassroots activists who have been with the fight in their state since the start. Among other obvious problems with that, it undermines the heretofore useful charge against "out-of-state Astroturfers."

Professional assistance with campaign strategies, effective messaging, fundraising, organization, staffing, contacts, etc. would all be welcome. Acting like the locals don't matter, an M.O. many in other states will recognize, should not be.

It actually discourages, and snuffs fire from bellies.

And as for it being “constitutional,” the reason the feds went after a transfer tax instead of a ban is they knew they didn’t have authority to try for the latter. And as for that registration and tax, the district court in the Miller short-barreled shotgun case agreed that it was a violation of the Second Amendment. It was only after the government appealed to the Supreme Court and no attorney showed up to argue the case, and only the government’s side was heard, that the opinion cited in subsequent cases was issued.  And even that had to concede a weapon was protected if it had “some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia [or] that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment, or that its use could contribute to the common defense.” [More]

Exclusive: A Mess Of Pottage

Users there, and wherever else states have made it “legal,” like in Colorado, may not know and may not care, but they’re disqualifying themselves from owning a gun, even if their use is compliant with state laws.
