AzCDL Meeting Redux



Here are the highlights, including an audio file of the whole shebang you can download. [More]

Electrifying Potential


What do you know about "the EMP thing"? [More]

What do you know about those who know plenty?

We're the Only Ones Shocking Enough

A police officer accidentally tasered a 10-year-old boy after telling him and his brother that the stun gun was dangerous and shouldn't be touched. [More]
Allow me to demonstrate...

You come back and visit us real soon, Iris, y'hear?

[Via Steve T] 

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

Two NYPD cops have been indicted on first-degree rape charges for allegedly having sex with a handcuffed 18-year-old woman inside their police van in Brooklyn... [More]
Good thing for her she listened to Liberty Lynchin' Patrick and didn't lift a finger.

"Suspended without pay"? What the hell...?

[Via William T]

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Terrorism' Is

The problem, of course, resides in the European definition of terrorism.  [More]
Kind of like the Bloombergian definition of "mass shooting"...

Hey, control the language, control the narrative.

Open Secrets

The USB stick – containing 76 folders with maps, videos and ­documents – was not encrypted and did not require a password. [More]

If you missed my Sunday discussion with Charles Heller... [Listen]

At least tell me you weren't watching football.

The Better to Eat You with, My Dear

If the Law Is This Complicated, Why Shouldn’t Ignorance Be an Excuse? [More]
Lavrentiy...? You wanna field this one...?

Term Limits

Actually, Koskinen deserves another term, not as IRS Commissioner, but as an inmate at Leavenworth. [More]
It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Can We All Get Along?

Baltimore Murder Crisis Continues [More]
Who ya gonna call? G-MONEY!

Who knew Baltimore had so many "haters"?

[Via bondmen]

What Difference Does It Make?

LaGrange College professor John A. Tures cross-examined various figures on gun crime and found that homicide rates are not markedly different for states with gun control for private sales versus states without. [More]
So bad people are going to find a way to do bad things and good people aren't?

But...but...but Opposite Day "progressive" common sense...

[Via bondmen]

You Sly Dog!

The former spokesman for Sly James was charged with domestic violence assault on Thursday and accused of head-butting a victim in the nose the night before. [More]
That probably explains a lot.

Domestic violence, eh?
"For 'tis the sport to have the engineer. Hoist with his own petard."

Michael Moore’s Attacks on 2nd Amendment Raise Bylaws Questions for NRA


And that leaves one of two possibilities: Either Moore has been lying all along about his life membership, always a distinct possibility, or someone in authority at NRA deliberately ignored rules that are mandated as binding on all. [More]
What's the point of having rules if  you allow them to be broken? Especially by this slug?

A Good Samaritan

Bravo and welcome, brother. [More]

But isolated anecdotes won't alter the reality of the danger.

The trick is to admit foreign nationals who will help "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" and to keep out the ones who won't. If they could do that, the numbers would be manageable.

But of course, they won't do that, because that's not what their masters want.

So all AREN'T Welcome...?

George Washington was one of the founding members of Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia, buying pew No. 5 when the church opened in 1773 and attending for more than two decades whenever he rode north from Mount Vernon to do business in town. This weekend, the church announced it was pulling down a memorial plaque to its onetime vestryman and the country’s first president, saying he and another famous parishioner, Robert E. Lee, have become so controversial that they are chasing away would-be parishioners. [More]
How very "progressive."

So how come the only three black men on their staff page are basically PLOs?

O Come Let Us Adore It

[T]he mission of the new religion is to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence,” and “through understanding and worship of the Godhead, [to] contribute to the betterment of society.” [More]
And why not? Opposite Day "progressives" have already established they worship another creation of man, government.

The 'Force You to Hire Someone We Don't Trust with a Gun' Act

California becomes the 10th state to require both public- and private-sector employers to delay background checks and inquiries about job applicants’ conviction records until they have made a conditional job offer to the applicant.  [More]
That way, when you find out you're dealing with someone who is dangerous or otherwise undesirable, backing out can result in your financial ruin from a discrimination lawsuit.

Funny-- how come they insist on knowing up front about criminal background check results in order for a citizen to exercise a right?  Seems you could use the same "logic" about disproportionately-affected minorities...

Dead on 'Arrival'

I watched "Arrival" last night on Hulu.

12 huge alien ships have suddenly appeared hovering at seemingly random points around the globe. People are coming to grips with the reality of such a change everything event and relying on "the news" to learn whatever they can.

Per one of the reports:
"The ATF has put a temporary ban on new gun licenses, forcing many independent suppliers of hunting equipment and firearms to close their doors to the public."
Right.

Still, they do seem to have both government and "Authorized Journalists" pegged.

This is one of those situations where Hollywood scriptwriter ignorance accidentally stumbles on a core truth most -- not the media nor proponents of "existing law" -- want to admit: A NICS green light is nothing if not a license.

How Snowflakes are Formed

I had some reservations regarding both costume choices…about cultural appropriation and the power/privilege carried by Whiteness, and about Whiteness and standards of beauty…[More]
So is she going to tell a black kid he can't be Batman or Superman?

House of Tards

Look at all the "progressives" in comments finding some way to excuse Kevin Spacey over charges that he was a predatory pederast who only "came out" after getting exposed. [More]

I'm reminded of that other champion of newly-indignant casting couch beneficiaries, Rose McGowan, who only had kind things to say about another Hollywood deviant, Victor Salva (who still gets work for which "conservatives" need not apply).

As observed before, don't worry about it -- in another 20 years or sooner, anyone against it will qualify for SPLC's "Hate Watch" list.

Beloved actors. Is it any wonder their political opinions persuade us so?

Liberty Watch

I'll be joining Charles Heller this afternoon at 3 Eastern to talk about the "law professor" who says the Second Amendment is irrelevant to the gun debate, and whatever else he wants to bring up.

If you're in the Tucson area, you can pick it up on KVOI 1030 AM. If not, it will be live streamed.

49ers Continue Alienating Firearm Owners from NFL with Gun Grab Grant

“The Niners have pledged $500,000 toward the campaign, which will advocate for legislation banning ‘bump stocks’ and other mechanisms that allow semi automatic weapons to become automatic weapons, as well as silencers and armor piercing bullets.” [More]
Considering 80,000 attendees go to NRA conventions and a couple dozen bipolar cud-chewers show up to protest, which group would you want to turn off if your goal was to fill seats and build an audience? Speaking of which, you're not still enabling these overprivileged virtue-oozers with patronage, are you?

Hawaii Opposition to Concealed Carry not Just Over Reciprocity


“Hawaii lawmakers already made decisions about firearms and public safety that best serve our state,” Chin claimed. “We will resist any efforts by the federal government to turn our state into the Wild West and strip Hawaii residents of the protections passed by our state leaders.” [More]
It’s not that the Hawaii’s “progressive” state government is against guns—they just want to be the ones in complete control of them.

It's Almost Like a Game Plan or Something...

I was looking for something else entirely, and as is so often the case, ran across something of relevance I did not recpgnize at the time. That would be this post from years before Mike and I had ever heard of Fast and Furious and of the Phoenix SAC at its center.

That links to this report, highlights of which include:
U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs; Second Amendment to Blame? ... "It's a war going on in Mexico, and these types of firearms are the weapons of war for them," said Bill Newell ... "It's virtually impossible to buy a firearm in Mexico as a private citizen, so this country is where they come," said Newell ... But U.S. efforts to stop the smuggling of tens of thousands of guns to Mexico, including high-powered assault weapons, have been hampered by lenient American gun laws ... Mexico's strict gun laws are being subverted by the easy availability of weapons in the U.S... U.S. and Mexican officials say they have traced most of the thousands of high-powered weapons seized from the drug cartels to gun dealers in Texas, California and Arizona ... Under federal gun laws, gun dealers are not required to report multiple purchases of such weapons because they are classified as rifles ... "If you were to go into a gun store and buy 20 of these, there is no requirement by the gun dealer to fill out a multiple sales form," ,,, The drug cartels' weapons of choice include variants of the AK-47 ... Assault weapons made in China and Eastern Europe, resembling the AK-47...
Does it seem to you like he had a specific direction he wanted to focus his division's efforts toward?


I wonder if anyone at House Oversight saw this back in the day. If they didn't, I wonder if they'd care to compare it with what they know now.

Controlling the Epic


The focus might be better placed on the tellers of tales rather than the "hero"... [More]

[Via Neil W]

So Finger-Wagging Isn't Enough...?

Buford Tune, owner of the Academy of Personal Protection and Security, believes parents should give hands-on training to their children. [More]
Bingo!

Feral sons Uday and Qusay got range training early, starting with seeing what could happen before they were ready for hands-on. More on that, along with the requisite pointing and laughing at cud-chewers, here....

We're the Only Ones Moonlighting Enough


So in spite of diversity-minded hiring practices, true women warriors are, for the most part, Hollywood fictions? [More]

We're the Only Ones Criminal Enough

Gondo, who is nicknamed "G-Money," laid out in detail on Wednesday what members of the Gun Trace Task Force were really doing under the color of law. In a clear, steady voice, Gondo described for a federal jury how he used his position as a Baltimore police officer to steal money and drugs, and lie to cover his crimes. [More]
Kind of explains why the emphasis on being "OnlyOnes," doesn't it? Controlling turf is what violent street gangs do.  Ditto, occupying standing armies...

Hey, I don't mean to bash. I'm sure there are a few good apples in there somewhere.

Ain't that right, Kevin?

Because Aside from a Vocal Minority of Extremists, Americans Overwhelmingly Want Common Sense Gun Safety Laws!


That must be why they couldn't pass a bump stock ban in Illinois. [More]

A man in a car who was trapped at an intersection by menacing SEIU protesters was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after he slowly drove through the mob in an effort to escape. [More]
He had every right to get away from the mob.

Look at liar here calling it "plowing."

Fundamental transformation, courtesy of the Marxist/"Republican" alliance.  Prepare for more as they get more vocal about claiming "their" country. And if you don't support that, you're a racist and a xenophobe. Go back to Europe.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."

[Via Michael G]

We're the Only Ones Securing Enough

"It was well-lit, metered parking with other pedestrians in the area,” Woychowski testified. “I thought it would be pretty safe.” [More]
Nice to know such stringent standards are upheld by our highly-trained protectors.

[Via Dave Licht]


Diversity by Design

A young lady very close to our family is a fashion design major who was given an assignment to create some designs under a general requirement that they must represent "diversity." Her "professor" disallowed her proposal for fashions to enable stylish concealed carry.

I mean, growing market and all...  Perhaps that helps explain why the instructor "teaches" instead of enjoys success in the industry.

The "valid reason" given for rejecting the idea:
"F*** the Second Amendment."
How diverse. How professional. How Opposite Day "progressive."

The Meat of the Matter

The remaining records will be released with agency-proposed redactions on a rolling basis in the coming weeks. The President has demanded unprecedented transparency from the agencies and directed them to minimize redactions without delay. The National Archives will therefore release more records, with redactions only in the rarest of circumstances, by the deadline of April 26, 2018. [More]
Those redactions are what we need to see.

'Tools of the Capitalist'



So the racists, haters and ideological forebears of today's Seattle commies weren't limited-government Constitutionalists? [More]

Still, they had the ideological forebears of cheap foreign labor "Republicans" pegged.

Inspirations to Women Everywhere

Actress Rose McGowan is scheduled to make her first public remarks since accusing film producer Harvey Weinstein of rape. [More]
And she's only getting around to accusing him now because...?  I guess the question here is why she should be believed more than, say, Juanita Broaddrick?

And ol' Ashley Judd sure talks tough -- except when it counts.

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Self-proclaimed gun lawyer-to-the-stars John Chambers was ordered to fork over his extensive client list — opening the door to the feds probing movie stars and comedians who may have obtained gun permits from the troubled Brooklyn lawyer. [More]
Gee, I wonder if we'll come across any cases of hypocrisy...

Urine for Quite a Show

Trans Artist Collects 200 Gallons Of Urine To Protest Trump [More]
Dang. This might just work better than screaming at the sky.

What a "performer."  What an "artist."

These people never seem to come to grips with the possibility that maybe the source of their discontent just might be themselves, do they?

And what an audience, save for the occasional attendee who just wants to see a freak show.

So doing this in a public work place won't require OSHA disposal and DOT transport rules or anything?

The Representatives of the People

Senate Republicans crafting legislation to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens have entirely “ruled out” including the popular initiative to mandate that employers use E-Verify, a system that weeds out illegal aliens from taking American jobs. [More]
Which people would those be again...?

Certainly not the ones neutered by the 17th Amendment, that ensured urban enclaves would decide and eradicated the local abilty to pressure home district legislators...

They all have big "buts" and not a one of them is worth a damn on guns, especially idiot "Republican" Steve Ray. [More]

Guns and Christianity

Herschel notes one who does not understand and appears to have far to go before he will. [More]

A 1747 Philadelphia sermon comes to mind:
"He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend itself."

So You Really Can't Stop the Signal?

The University of California at Berkeley study, funded in part with money from a $2.3 million National Institutes of Health grant and released on Monday, found a 70 percent spike in deaths and injuries from firearms in California communities within one- to two-hour driving distances of Nevada gun shows. [More]
What? "Gun control" doesn't work because only the "law-abiding" abide by the law? If only we could impose California-style edicts everywhere, in Everytown then human nature would change? And meanwhile, we can scream about "home rule" like stuck pigs at any easing of federal infringements?

What I want to know is what the hell is the National Institutes of Health doing doling out millions in tax plunder for Berkeley-driven subversion, and what the hell is Trump appointee Eric Hargan doing about it?

Speaking of Crazy

Republicans are crazy for embracing nutty Roy Moore [More]
Yeah, everybody knows we'd be better off giving the power to a Democrat who supports RKBA infringements and cultural terraforming.

Actually, Republicans are crazy for listening to the subversive mewling of Hillary-enabler and neocon Jonah Goldberg.

National Review...

It's founder was an idiot on RKBA, too.

I Have New Definition of 'Silencer'

And I have a new definition of "gun quack": John Anthony Herring. [More] 

You'd think a self-admitted "novice" would know enough not to presume the role of master and instead remain silent on that which he clearly does not understand.

More Proof Gun Owners are Racists

The Second Amendment was ratified to preserve slavery [More]
Resurrecting a Bogus argument, I see.

But hey, Raw Story said it so it must be true. No?

Funny thing. That Virginia Ratifying Convention our "progressive" history instructor refers to brought up a point he neglected to mention: They didn't need the Second Amendment to suppress slaves, and some were worried it might interfere with that, as Delegate George Nicholas pointed out in his argument to the contrary:
"No part of this Constitution can show that this power is taken away."
That said, we all know the real reason Captain Parker assembled his men on that fateful day was to keep their slaves. Right?

We're the Only Ones Pawning Off Enough

Florida deputy accused of pawning guns loaned to him for weapons course he was teaching [More]
And now he gets to deal with the collateral damages.

News you can wipe with!
The agencies say more than 7,000 children are killed every year from unsecured guns in the United States. [More]
Hey, our trusted source wouldn't just parrot disinformation without doing the basic job of journalists and verifying information, would it?

Whatever happened to ABC Family Values?

Doing the Job Ameripops Won't Do


"Why is literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor? this is teaching kids racism." [More]
And after warning us against "racial privilege"?

Hey, don't discount all the good the foundation they bankroll does, like lowering the handgun epidemic, enabling fundamental transformation and, of course, promoting racial justice and harmony.

If the thought of promoting all those "progressive" goals excites you, have some corn flakes. 

A One-Shot Deal

He also said, “The American people, in my mind, will never accept a legalization program unless they can be assured this is a one-shot deal and that this is it, this is a one-time occurrence.  And the policymakers in this country are not going to allow it to happen again and will prevent the situation which gave rise to it.”  [More]
Political assurances. Talk about an oxymoron.

Good thing none of this has a damn thing to do with that "single issue" and that gun owners have nothing to worry about.

House Speaker Paul Ryan’s closed-door announcement of slipping amnesty for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program into an end-of-the-year spending deal comes less than a month after a DACA recipient has been accused of murder. [More]

What, so now “racist gun nuts” are reduced to supporting slavery?
Of course not, and anyone leveling that accusation will be attempting to use it in a lying smear to keep a truth they don’t want people to know about from being shared.  [More]
If nothing else survives from the notorious Dred Scott decision, it at least shows that once upon a time the right of free men "to keep and carry arms wherever they went” was assumed.

Another One Bites the Dust

Leon Wieseltier, a prominent editor at The New Republic for three decades who was preparing to unveil a new magazine next week, apologized on Tuesday for “offenses against some of my colleagues in the past” after several women accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate advances. [More]
What is it about feminism-espousing "progressives" that in practice abuse women?  Oh, yeah, Opposite Day...

The thought strikes there's one "profession" that seems to have escaped the right kind of scrutiny in all the brouhaha, and I'd bet it's one ripe for exploring: "Education."

We've all see the stories about teachers rutting with minors, so it could be useful to prove these are overwhelmingly supporters of Hillary and the like. But something that seems to have completely escaped media focus is the archetypal college professor who gets the coed. Talk about a disparity in power. Talk about opportunities for the spurned-for-a-newer-model to avenge themselves with tales of undue "pressure."
