We're the Only Ones Tossing and Turning Enough
The parents of a 26-year-old who killed himself with dozens of police officers and a SWAT team surrounding their house say officers did not listen when they said all their son needed was some sleep. [More]In fairness, it sounds like he needed a lot more than that, but it's also fair to wonder if an armed response in force with no deescalation options is the optimum solution to a "welfare check" request.

Women’s March on NRA a Manipulated, Financed Exercise in Fabricated Rage
So it would more accurately be described as the Manipulated Leftist Women’s March. Left unstated is who is doing the manipulation and why. [More]There's no shortage of enraged useful idiots eager to be manipulated by those who would destroy, remold and rule.
About Today's Opposite Day 'Progressive' Women's March
Here's what they're enabling. (Warning-- extremely disturbing graphic)

When Old Paradigms Die
Gun-rights groups will quietly protest, but have little sway. [More]That's because they refuse to embrace "I will not comply" when their strategies no longer work, or to acknowledge what California irrefutably demonstrates: the single biggest threat to a "single issue" they pretend exists in a political vacuum.
When supposed leaders no longer lead, but in fact act as enablers, it's time to either adapt or perish. The noncompliance we've seen to date has not been led by those who "pragmatically" place their image, their access and their funding above all else, and who therefore have no incentive to do anything but ignore or disparage "principle freaks."
Let one of those defiers be caught and watch how many will not come to his aid, and will instead focus on how he did it to himself, and even how "he makes us all look bad."

FBI Director Candidate Wray’s Adopting Language of Left on Guns Merits Further Scrutiny
“I wouldn’t rule out any commonsense gun reform legislation without having a chance to review it,” Wray finally admitted. “I would have to review it and make an assessment based on the circumstances. But I can commit to you that being tough on gun violence is something that I would want to be as director of the FBI.” [More]Using the same language as interrogater Richard Blumenthal raises a flag.
Senate Must Adopt Paul’s Gun Amendment on Health Care Bill
1) Insurers should not be allowed to ask about gun ownership, or feed that information into a federal database, or discriminate or deny insurance to gun owners; 2) Federal mandates, that doctors keep digital records in a federal health database, cannot be used to force doctors to compile a federal health database; and,3) The ATF must not be allowed to troll the federal health database for names that it could submit to the NICS list.

Interesting Admission
We're the Only Ones Incorrect Enough
During that period, Missouri Department of Corrections employees failed to properly check on the two inmates, who were locked alone together in one of the more restricted areas of the prison. Moreover, the state workers falsified logs and failed to follow procedures aimed at protecting inmates from other prisoners. [More]Defy disarmament diktats and that could be you having to fend off insatiable beasts. And you'd better believe the appropriately-named "screws" exploit the situation as a coercion tool.

He evidently started the group as a way to respond to the murderous actions of a reportedly sexually-conflicted Islamist extremist who shot up a “gun-free” gay nightclub. So naturally his number one target is the NRA. [More]Oh my!

A search of the helicopter turned up several weapons. Police discovered a loaded Ruger LCR 22 LR revolver, a Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum revolver with four live rounds, and a loaded Glock Austria .357 with one round in the chamber.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime?
The bill specifically reduces drug convictions for possession of trace quantities of methadone, oxycodone, heroin, MDMA, cocaine, and methamphetamine from felonies to misdemeanors. [More]In addition to the corrupting incentives on "law enforcement," I've long argued that the point at which a crime is committed is when someone else is victimized. Otherwise, we're talking about an issue that is medical, psychological, spiritual, moral... and you can't really get anywhere "treating" effects instead of causes.
That said, I've also long argued that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian, and I sure wouldn't trust some lost soul on brain scramblers with a gun.
I'd also be interested in seeing what "property crimes" are being "defelonized."
My prediction, since this is being overseen by Opposite Day "progressives" also bent on citizen disarmament: Things are gonna get a lot worse on all counts, and the community that will suffer the most is the one outraged over "racial disparities."
