Mass shootings in America — a sad trend continued [More]
48 Shot, 11 Fatally, In Christmas Weekend Shootings In Chicago [More]If only they would disarm you and me.
...the fashion is really vibrant... [More]Particularly for women who choose to buck convention.
I am a constituent of Bruce Franks, Jr in St Louis. He visits my cafe frequently. If I were to bend his ear about the flaws of that 72 hr bill, what would you recommend I point out to be the most persuasive in 5 minutes?I suppose you could point out how such a system would be useless without registration, and without requiring each gun owner to keep an inventory by serial number, or you could point out how they could end up incriminating themselves if it turns out the gun in their possession was not obtained through an FFL, or how if they're "prohibited persons" themselves, requiring them to self-report their possession is a violation of their Fifth Amendment right. So right off the bat, criminal constituents are exempted.
That means if it’s a choice between the Second Amendment and Hillary, guess which one loses. [More]You can tell a lot about a person's sincerity by examining their priorities.
[T]he scene is now set for the US government to legally crack down on every media outlet that the government deems to be "foreign propaganda." [More]Yeah, I'm sure we could justify that in light of "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." After all, just look what we've been able to do with "shall not be infringed."
When Native Americans were arms dealers... [More]What, no squaws for common sense thunderstick safety groups sprang up, demanding to do it for the papooses...?
Drug overdoses now kill more Americans than guns [More]"Now"? How about "always"?
Ray Rosas is a free man tonight after a jury of his peers found him not guilty of shooting three Corpus Christi police officers on February 19, 2015. On that day, early in the morning, CCPD executed a no-knock search warrant, forcing entry into the home without first knocking and announcing they were the police. [More]Sounds like reason prevailed once government was taken out of the decision-making process...
Teaching Kids Gun Safety In 1908 (Lots of Images) [More]You mean such lessons can be taught with humor and without hysteria...?
“Have you ever wondered what it really means to be white? If you’re like most people, the answer is probably ‘no.’ But here is your chance!,” reads the course description. “In this class, we will ask what an ethical white identity entails, what it means to be #woke, and consider the journal Race Traitor’s motto, ‘treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.'” [More]Naturally the same Opposite Day "progressives" promoting this call whites racist, and by happy coincidence want to see them disarmed.
An alderman indicted on corruption charges while he sat in a City Council meeting is merely the latest in a rogues' gallery of elected officials to face such allegations in Chicago, a city that over the years became saddled with a national reputation for corruption. [More]What they really need is a ban on "gun lookalike cellphone cases."

Dark Helmet: So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage! ... President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.[Via WRSA]
“Germans should not let the attack on a Christmas market in Berlin undermine liberal values,” ran the headline on the Washington Post editorial Dec. 22.As opposed to:
“They hate and kill us. And nobody protects us. Our leaders betray us. We need a political revolution. Islamic immigration is an invasion, an existential problem that will replace our people [and] erase our culture.”And those who agree with the first opinion and bring in even more want to disarm us.
Such a rebellion, of course, requires an armed citizenry banding together as a militia, which, as per previous “Star Wars” movies, is exactly what is happening in “Rogue One.” Protagonist Jyn Erso demands and appropriates a weapon, noting her accepted retention of it is a sign that “trust goes both ways.”
Bingo. [More]That’s hardly a theme mainstream propagandists are inclined to acknowledge.
And though some may say a pretty pink pistol isn’t as menacing as the silver or black models, cops stress the pastel handguns are no less lethal. [More]Who "may say" that? Anyone who knows what they're talking about, and would thus be fitting sources meriting mention in what's purported to be a "news" story?
Khan has written positively about sharia law. Other laws “must always be subordinated” to Islam’s, he wrote while living in Saudi Arabia in 1983. He also made money representing wealthy foreign clients trying to secure U.S. visas for themselves and their families, in a program critics say is “riddled” with fraud. [More]Sounds like he'll fit right in.
On 14 December, 2016, a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court ruling in Silvester v. Harris. In the original decision, the District Court ruled that requiring a gun owner who had already passed a background check, and who either already owned a registered gun or had a concealed carry permit, was an infringement on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. The Ninth Circuit held that a 10 day waiting period was a “reasonable safety precaution”. [More]I guess this is an advance, but come on. Prior restraint "background checks," registration and permits are not infringements?
Beginning on December 15th, the anniversary of U.S. Bill of Rights ratification, and running through the Holiday Season, The Origin of the Second Amendment document collection and The Founders' View of the Right to Bear Arms history - the authoritative books on the subject of the Second Amendment's history according to Alan Gura - will be half price at Amazon. [More]I just found out about this. We've talked about these books before. In my opinion, they are indispensable resources for all informed advocates.

A young woman, driving home late after work, is targeted for a robbery. Followed by thieves, they shoot out her tire and approach her where she pulls over. Totally unaware and dazed, the victim exposes herself to harm, not prepared for the unexpected. On foot, she seeks shelter and assistance. [More]
Yahoo Inc's secret scanning of customer emails at the behest of a U.S. spy agency is part of a growing push by officials to loosen constitutional protections Americans have against arbitrary governmental searches, according to legal documents and people briefed on closed court hearings. [More]Hey, someone's gotta protect us from the Russians...
Yesterday, President Obama has designated vast portions of the United States’ Arctic Ocean as indefinitely off limits for future oil and gas leasing. [More]Because posting pictures of polar bears that will make urban "progressives" feel good is more of a priority than securing the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
“If the Trump administration is already singling out scientists for doing their jobs, the scientific community is right to be worried about what his administration will do in office. What’s next? Trump administration officials holding up lists of ‘known climatologists’ and urging the public to go after them?” Halpern asked. [More]Trying to burrow in, are we? And upset about being rooted out?
Robbers take car, gun, phones from State Rep.-elect Bruce Franks in St. Louis holdup [More]Pretty convenient timing. I sure hope him pushing for a stolen gun reporting law doesn't have anything to do with this.

Ex-cop accused of killing 4 during drug deal [More]There but for the grace of God go you and me, right?
“Don’t be alarmed if you do see our armed officers, they are there purely for reassurance and to make people feel safe.” [More]The problem is, requiring an effete populace to rely on feelings hardly encourages thinking. And naturally "progressive" policies have an Opposite Day effect.
Sometimes someone inadvertently performs a public service by bringing an unbelievably stupid and dangerous idea to the surface, where it can be exposed for what it is. [More]I dunno, you reach a different readership and don't have as much "gravitas." I doubt you're going to change many predisposed-to-agree minds exposed to their fake news.

Source: All-Out Ban on Semi-Automatic Long Guns Coming to CA Legislature [More]Which, if true, negates the purpose of the Second Amendment. I guess "we'll" have to see if a reconstituted Supreme Court lets them get away with that, and then decide what to do about it if they do.
“Donald Trump has a legacy moment. When he can seize this opportunity, a historic opportunity, do the right thing and adopt these common-sense measures: background checks for every gun purchase, a ban on terrorists buying guns and ending the immunity, the legal immunity, unprecedented, unknown to any other industry for gun manufacturers. These are your ideas, Donald. We’ll give you credit for them.” [More]There's a method to his madness.

With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification, subject to certain declarations and understandings set forth in the enclosed report, I transmit herewith the Arms Trade Treaty, done at New York on April 2, 2013, and signed by the United States on September 25, 2013. I also transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Secretary of State with respect to the Treaty, which contains a detailed article-by-article analysis of the Treaty. [More]

The Harrisville Central School District has been slapped with a civil rights lawsuit claiming school officials forced a student to strip off her clothes so they could search her buttocks and vagina for drugs. [More]If the charges are true, this is rape and all participants should be considered violent criminal co-conspirators.
As far as we can tell, this is the first time in American history that Electors actually received multiple death threats by political zealots attempting to terrorize them into changing their votes. Just imagine what Obama, Clinton, and the mainstream press would be saying if the situation was reversed, and Trump supporters had threatened to kill Democratic electors in an attempt to force them to change their votes. [More]Well heck, they already call us traitors...
For an hour and a half after firing a gun inside the high school where he worked, a Bay County Sheriff's deputy played dumb. [More]Sounds like he's been dumb for a lot longer than an hour-and-a-half, and like he's not playing.

All gun owners who possess “large-capacity” magazines in California — and all gun owners who possess “10/30” or similarly reduced-capacity magazines in California — need to read the text of the proposed regulations... [More]Or you could just do what I did...
The law allows for concealed carry in some places it is already legal to open carry guns. It removes several victim zones - places that are easy for bad people to kill many innocents - such as day-care facilities, private aircraft, and public areas of airport terminals - and it makes improvements to school safety zones by allowing CHL-holders to leave their firearms in their vehicles on school grounds, just as they've been allowed to do on college campuses for many years. The new law also also grants political subdivisions, colleges and universities the authority, if they choose, to allow people to legally possess concealed firearms. [More]OK, I guess that's base camp. Now for the next ascent...

The number of weapons permits issued in Vienna and Styria for pistols and revolvers has multiplied in recent months, a trend which is seen to have taken off after the terror attacks in Paris and in the wake of the increasing number of migrants and refugees entering Austria. [More]It would appear they're discovering the fix[x]:
"[R]ace may have played a role..." [More]That Captain Obvious, him plenty smart fella.
MoveOn.org Executive Director Anna Galland said Monday evening that protests like this one were "a marker for what's to come." [More]We know. We're counting on it, and worse.
During the speeches which lasted almost an hour the crowd chanted Allahu Akbar 'God is the greatest' and cheered for those calling for a global caliphate. [More]What kind of intolerant xenophobe would oppose welcoming such diversity?
The good thing is future gun-grabber gains will likely be reduced to “sure win” states, as Nevada only gave them a <1% victory margin. So much for the “fake news” meme that 80% of Americans, including most gun owners, agree with registration-enabling edicts. And there aren’t a lot more substantive edicts they can impose in places like California or New Jersey, especially with the expected reconstituted Supreme Court majority on the way. [More]Provided establishment Republicans don't figure out a way to screw it up.
Because of his training, “he should have known better,” Malcor said. [More]Adults need training to know right from wrong?
Berlin Mayor Michael Muller said “the situation is under control.” [More]That was my first thought, too. Along with a nagging feeling that we could learn a lot from the Germans about making "refugees" feel welcome, and start experiencing more of the benefits of inclusive tolerance, maybe even in time for a Christmas surprise or two of our own.
Judicial Watch: U.S. Customs, Homeland Security Records Reveal Somalis Given Security Briefings, ‘Community Engagement Tours’ in Secured Areas at Major U.S. Airports [More]And now we come to the part of the tour where we share the fun bonding experience of doing body cavity searches on disabled war vets and on octogenarians with hip replacements.

A record 25,474 concealed-carry gun permits were issued in Ohio during the third quarter this year, a 59 percent jump over the same period in 2015. [More]Curious, how the last big Ohio "shooting report" to make the news didn't involve any of those carriers and didn't even involve a gun...
A McGrumpy US Marshal wasn’t lovin’ the wait at a Brooklyn McDonald’s — so he whipped out a loaded gun and pointed it at the terrified cashier and customers, cops said Sunday. [More]I can't begin to tell you how many times I've done that! See, I knew there was a reason for the Sullivan Law making sure only "Only Ones" and special elites could carry guns in NYC.
“[U.S. Marshals] are under a lot of pressure. They’re under a lot of stress. They risk their lives every day.”Yeah. He deserves a break today.
Sgt. Julian Prezas pleaded guilty to funneling dozens of assault rifles to members of Mexico’s Gulf Cartel last year. The former Army recruiter pleaded guilty in two separate cases on Monday. He is being charged with five counts of lying on federal firearms forms and attempting to export defense articles to Mexico. [More]Funny they should bring up export law violations.
It is in the nation’s interest for Democratic Party’s leaders and for Clinton voters to fully recognize the legitimacy of the election as they had urged Trump to do after the third presidential debate. [More]Actually, it's in the nation's interests for an outcome that best fulfills the objectives of the Preamble. If Hillary had won, some of us would attribute it to ignorance, apathy, subversion and fraud.
Did Harry Reid take a $2 million bribe? The Feds won’t let investigators find out [More]"Let"? Did someone say "let"?
The Obama administration announced on Thursday that it was nominating Adegbile for a six-year term on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Unlike its appointment of Adegbile in 2014 to chair the Justice Department Civil Rights Division, this nomination does not require approval from the Senate. [More]Another parting shot, that is.
DNC Wanted To Use Latino Voters to Gerrymander Permanent House Majority [More]Fortunately, Grover and every one of his apologists tell us that's not our concern.
Outgoing Obama EPA Chief Gina McCarthy thinks President-elect Donald Trump will not be able to change EPA policy towards CO2, because it will be too difficult to undo her policy initiatives. [More]Sword, please...
The first reaction might be “Who gives a…?”That so many evidently had that reaction, both under the article and that I've seen in various places this was promoted on social media, is still pretty revealing. Here's one last set of observations:
