There's No Such Thing as a Bad Boy


As long as Donald Trump doesn't stem the flow of Fruit Loops or something... [More]

This is what the "progressives" and their phony opposition have created. On purpose.

It's a Small Club and We're In It


Oh, what a tangled web we weave!
"A small cadre"? At least they didn't say "cabal." Or "cell." [More]

And at least they spelled our names right.

It does look like we've got their attention, but it makes us sound like conspirators harassing the poor government, doesn't it? I mean, who but agitating extremists would want to know rights aren't being wrongfully denied, if records are accurate and if consistent rules are being applied equitably to all?

No time like the present to keep the momentum going.

And Lord knows being "largely unsuccessful" couldn't have anything to do with judicial bias and agenda precedent over principle.

Looks like AUSA Kolsky was appointed in the Obama administration, and previously clerked for Barry Silverman on the Ninth Circuit...

Lawsuit Filed Against State Department for Ignoring Fast and Furious Freedom of Information Act Request


There are multiple reasons for filing the request, AmmoLand Shooting Sports News reported when the FOIA ... was filed, primarily because it explores an area that has been left largely unresolved by official inquiries from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General. [More]
The 20-day window to comply closed over a year ago. They have no intention of doing anything but continuing the in-your-face stonewalling. And if the court allows such a clear violation to prevail, it will at least be further corroboration that true peaceful redress protections are a fiction.

Gun Nonviolence

Two good Samaritans suffered stab wounds on Sunday when they tried to come to a woman’s aid in a Publix parking lot in Seminole. That’s when Pinellas County deputies say a third good Samaritan with a gun stepped in and put an end to the struggle without firing a shot. [More]
So violence was stopped, peace was restored and lives were saved thanks to a murderous, knuckledragging, racist ammosexual with a gun?

The title is a term that ought to be used.

Taking the High Road?

Nice strawman argument, equating defining the enemy with name-calling.  [More]

Here's why he consistently does it:

That’s why we created the Ideal Conceal Cellphone Pistol, the discreet and easy-to-use double-barreled derringer that’s designed to look like a smartphone when folded up. [More]
We've talked about this before with mixed feelings. A major point in its favor is that Chuck Schumer got his knickers twisted.

He held open the possibility that the placement of drugs in the can was a reenactment of finding a second bag at some point when body cameras weren't rolling, but said that would be "inconsistent with the way that police officers do business." [More]

You are now getting a taste of what it is like to talk to our side directly, unfiltered and you do not like it nor do you understand it. One other thing -- if the rule of law no longer protects us from "gangster government," it no longer protects gangster government and its minions from us, either. And remember this has NOTHING to do with the GOP, the NRA, the talk show circuit or any of the rest of your convenient, comfortable boogeymen which you blame. You no longer have them to protect you.

Not that I think much of an "Only Ones" expansion proposal limited to city employees, but characterizing the mayor and chief that way really is further proof that for "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Not really, but I know that

I expect to be back around Aug. 7 or thereabouts.  In the interim, comments have been turned off and I ask you to hold off on emails and "social media" contacts.

Two things to watch for in my absence:

  • T.L. Davis will be announcing the release of "Lies of Omission."  Please keep an eye out for it and then help spread the word.
  • GUNS Magazine will be posting my latest "Rights Watch" column. It's called "The Long March," about the recent goose-waddle from Fairfax to DC.

I've unchained feral sons Uday and Qusay and opened the basement door to give them free rein of the redoubt in my absence. I'd better not find a gnawed shin bone like last time.

Trump’s Communications Pick Invites Legitimate Questions on Principles and Loyalty


Maybe he doesn’t need to have unshakeable beliefs in order to do his job, which, after all, is to come up with excuses, diversions and happy talk to offset a media pretty much doing the same thing to see that the illusions it casts are the ones that prevail. Still, just the fact that communications come down through him makes their credibility susceptible to the type of ridicule now being heaped on the administration by its political and media enemies.

Graham Teaming with Durbin on ‘DREAMers’ Endangers Gun Owner Rights


Yet for its part, NRA calls Graham “committed to defending our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.” And because it will not factor politicians’ related actions that undermine that into their grading and endorsement system, most members will never know how betrayal on immigration equates to taking back today’s “good votes” and ensuring tomorrow’s will only be bad ones.
