The End Game

So it is with gun control: liberals propose these useless laws and regulations not in an attempt to honestly curb gun violence but rather in a long-form attempt to pass other laws down the road.  [More]

The Infringement Continues

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take a case about the boundaries of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, by saying it will not review a California self-defense law. The petitioners in Peruta v. California who asked the Supreme Court to review the case called the controversy "perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question" left to come before the Supreme Court. The high court's action on Monday will leave that question unresolved. [More]
Meaning Americans will remain disarmed or face the risk of having their lives destroyed.

Everybody knows who thinks they're the boss, right?

It's for damn sure legislative remedies have been exhausted. And now the high court has sided with the power elites.

So what do you do?

I know what I did for over 20 years when I lived in California.

I plan on commenting in more detail later-- I'm waiting to see what SCOTUS does with the foreign travel restrictions so I can do a twofer piece.

Australian Gun Owner’s Proposed ‘Happy Medium’ Overlooks ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’

Some of us aren't “sporting shooters.” Some of us are fighting for nothing less than freedom and we know what’s at stake. We also know that the gun-grabbers will happily accept any incremental concessions they can swindle us out of and then complain about how “extremist gun nuts” are unwilling to “compromise.” Cede to them a beachhead without a fight and they’ll use it to launch their next incursion, because their long-stated goal, before they felt compelled to mask it, is to have it all. Any sop thrown their way in an attempt to appear “reasonable” makes about as much sense as throwing a scrap of flesh to a circling pack of jackals and expecting them to go away sated and to leave you unmolested. [More]
Sometimes bad ideas are offered in good faith by sincere people who haven't considered all the ways their proposals can result in evil rather than good.

Taking a Stab at All Oath Keepers

Foreman is also affiliated with the Oath Keepers, according to Gionet.

The group has been described as “one of the largest radical anti-government groups” in the country, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks domestic extremists and hate groups. [More]
Nice of "real reporters" James Queally and Matt Pearce to take SPLC at their word for it (because the FBI no longer does), as opposed to, I don't know, doing some "real reporting." You know, maybe asking someone in leadership about that allegation, or asking themselves how a group largely comprised of current and former government employees, who take an oath to the Constitution and exclude from membership any seeking the overthrow of the United States, can be "anti-government."

Slater declined to name the officials whose names were on the note or say whether they were Republicans or Democrats or were at the baseball practice. [More]
Since he reportedly asked if they were Democrats or Republicans, does it matter? I'd think the fact that he wanted to kill anyone not "progressive" like him is even more chilling, because he was hardly alone in that sentiment, with plenty of encouragement.
