EO on 'Militia Purposes'?

Interesting proposal. [More]

Whether requisite connections exist to actualize it remains to be seen. And then, of course, expect a challenge to be brought before an "activist judge" (i.e., an oath-breaking traitor).

Survey SAYS...

Now is your chance to give your input. Let us know what issues you want President Trump to focus on and your ideas for the future of our country. [More]
And as discussed in my NRA Director endorsement, I'm 'bullet voting" for maximum effect.

The only bullet I picked was "Immigration Reform." For the  "idea" and "additional comment" sections I left:
Respect and enforce the uninfringed right ot the people to keep and bear arms.
and
Stop listening to RINOs on your nominations like pro-amnesty Acosta.
Yeah, I know, waste of time, we'll be on a list, we're all going to end up in a civil war anyway and...

There will always be plenty of excuses for not lifting a finger.  I just wonder how many who won't make a minimal effort now, while things are easy, will fare when and if their dire predictions come to pass.

And the Winner Is...



Much of the country will be watching the Academy Awards tonight, as overprivileged lottery winners enjoy White House-level armed security, abusing their moment at the megaphone by demonstrating their utter contempt for the values and beliefs of Americans responsible for Trump winning.

I won't be watching. Still, the thought strikes, imagine a show along the lines of "24": The "CTU" is tracking a lead that "refugee" terrorists are planning to stun the world by attacking the Oscars ceremony, and slaughtering all the "stars" and other Hollywood luminaries on live television.

It's actually not a totally original idea. Firesign Theater, for one, performed just such a scenario, carried out under the slogan:
Eat flaming death, fascist media pigs.
The show progresses from "CTU" getting the initial lead to following the actions of the terrorists, to going through the advances and setbacks of the agents trying to intercept and prevent disaster, until the final commercial break, at which point viewers are given the ability to provide feedback (via texting or social media or whatever) to determine the outcome based on popular (not electoral this time) vote.

What do you think the results would be, and do you think it would be a landslide?

Grinding Gears

We have learned that a few Rotary clubs are sponsoring or hosting gun and knife shows, shooting tournaments and hunts and are using Rotary’s  trademarks on materials for these events. As you may know, the RI Board has set forth guidelines for use of the Rotary Marks by Rotary clubs for sponsorship and cooperative relationship purposes, and this policy prohibits clubs from accepting relationships that support the use of harmful products, including weapons and other armaments...

Cat Scratch Fever

But wouldn't that just lead to back alley onychectomies? And how do nosy vets like it now that their ox is the one being gored?

Speaking as someone who doesn't own a cat (because of allergies and because  WP might find play date enjoyment a bit too one-sided), I would never do this to one.

That said, I see the point of those who keep them inside, and it does seem the "mutilation" charge has its share of counters who note the procedure is not as medieval as its being made out. Add to that the cats that would otherwise not be rescued from shelters and euthanized, and I can see where the trade off could be considered the best option for an animal, which, face it, if not for cultural differences (for now at least, except for certain government-arranged enclaves), could be considered "food."

It's also interesting how many who claim this impedes a cat's ability to defend itself are on sponsor Troy Singleton's side in this, especially since he evidently doesn't think they have a right to.

UPDATE -- Herschel advises:
You've got it backwards.  The PCUSA does indeed undermine our rights.  This church is PCA, my old plaster Harry Reeder preaches there.  The PCA split with the PCUSA years ago over differences in doctrine.
The PCUSA was going down the path laid out for them in the Auburn Affirmation, which denied the deity of Christ.  The PCA is about as conservative as it gets.
That said, it would have been better if Harry had preached a series of sermons on the need to carry, but I suspect that there are a bunch of women and children there during the day who want nothing to do with that given there other responsibilities.  
What they must have the cops doing is regular patrols 24 hours.  Again, would have been better if they had volunteers doing that, but it's hard to get that kind of discipline.  I hope the Harry doesn't have a rule against individuals carrying.  That's where the real story is.
But the PCA is most certainly not the PCUSA.  It can get a little confusing with all the denominations.
Looks like I'm not the "only one" making that mistake.

First Step

The Iowa House of Representatives has just introduced a major pro-gun owner bill. House Study Bill 133 (HSB133) is a comprehensive gun bill that effectively re-writes a large portion of Iowa’s firearms and use of force laws. HSB133 is a major bill (more than 41 pages long) that benefits Iowa gun owners in numerous ways. We’ve listed a general overview below. [More]
I have not had time to analyze this or asses its chances and probably won't. I'm presenting it here so that those so inclined can do their own checking.

Not Exactly Incentive to Change

Stop right there.

That doesn't strike you people as intrusive and creepy?

And you wonder why your stuff goes straight to the junk file?

And She Wears Jeans When She Does It

"I've filed gun legislation every session. I want to make it harder and harder to get guns in and get guns into the hands of people who shouldn't have them." [More]
Meaning you, of course.  Ain't no criminal gonna pay the tax or abide by a ban. Creem knows that, but she gets off on in-your-face harassment of those she hates.

Domestic enemies will continue to do this until they no longer can. The trick is figuring out how to dissuade them from trying. They seem bent on forcing the "surrender and obey" or "defy and resist" choice on people who would prefer to just to be left alone.

After All, They Register Cars, Don't They?

Yes, they do.  And I just got this in my mailbox:

[Click to enlarge]


I sold the Mustang about a year ago.  And in Ohio, you don't just have to satisfy one set of bureaucrats to transfer a title, you need to go through three: the Ohio EPA "e-check" for proof of emissions compliance before transfer, and where I live the buyer needs to go through two separate BMV offices -- one to process title transfers and the other to issue new license plates.

So why, after all that, do they not know I no longer own this car? What if I'd bought and later sold a gun jumping through all the mandated hoops? Or reported it stolen, as some would require?

I shudder to think what could happen if it were used in a crime. If a situation similar to this vehicle cluster**** happened, I doubt I'd have gotten notice by mail, but could have instead been "visited" by men with the prime directive to make it home at the end of their shift. This shows it's hardly that far-fetched to suppose obeying "common sense gun safety laws" and entrusting government workers to get it right could prove far from safe.

Focal Point

Now that Republicans have control of Congress, they seem to have lost focus.  [More]
I disagree. They know exactly what they're doing.

If they can sabotage Trump's administration and engineer its failure -- without overtly standing against him and having to own it -- they can come back to the voters and say "See what happens when you think you know better than we do?"

They'll be counting on the average voter to look only at the manipulated results, not at their hidden intrigues that caused them.

[Via Michael G, who notes "Cornell professor persistently questions Cornell administration on why a fee had to be paid by the victim of threats in order to exercise free speech and is eventually told the equivalent of 'It was their fault for wearing a short skirt.'"]

Catch-22

Individuals who want a state-issued permit to carry a concealed gun in Florida would first have to pass a mental health evaluation under a new proposal from a Miami-Dade County senator. [More]
And, of course, for those who want one, there's a reason why they call them "gun nuts."

Daphne Campbell, eh? Speaking of "bat shit crazy"...

I'd be curious to see how many constituents commiting the "gun violence" in her district have permits. And if they're any more law-abiding than the office-seekers.

The inmates are running the asylum. Literally.

We're the Only Ones with a Big 'But' Enough

I fully support and defend our right to keep and bear arms as written by our Founding Fathers of the Constitution reinforced in the Second Amendment. [More]
Except for that "shall not be infringed" part. I find that "especially troublesome and dangerous for protests that espouse hatred."

Herbert! Herbert! Herbert! Herbert!

Remember this bizarro insult to everyone who believes in the RIGHT to keep and bear arms?

It seems even that is too extreme for GOP Gov. Gary Herbert.

Sell us some more of that snake oil, Chris:
“We are proud to endorse Governor Gary Herbert and Attorney General Sean Reyes for re-election in Utah. The NRA is confident that these two pro-Second Amendment advocates will continue their pro-freedom leadership in Salt Lake City,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF. “As out-of-touch elites continue attempts to exert their extreme anti-gun agenda on the state level, it is crucial that Utahans elect strong, pro-Second Amendment candidates who will stand up for law-abiding citizens and their freedoms.”
A real Vulcan chessmaster, that one.

It's hard to tell if this should be directed at him or Gary:

There's a Solution to That

Some border patrol stations have been slow to carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement executive order and instead have continued former President Barack Obama’s “catch-and-release” policies, according to a union official. [More]
So start implementing "fire-and-replace."

Securing the Blessings of Liberty

For themselves and their Posterity... [More]

What about for you and yours?   What are you, some kind of hater?

We're the Only Ones Toned Down Enough

St. Louis County cop says he was told to 'tone down his gayness' [More]
I thought they all yelled "Assume the position!"

Don't Be So Modest, Senator

Of course you are. [More]

That is, until it suits their purposes to treat you like an object of ridicule.
