Guest Lineup: Mark opens up and shares his family’s personal struggle in what is probably the most powerful opening segment in the show’s nearly ten-year run. Afterwards, he was joined by Second Amendment Foundation founder, Alan Gottlieb, Breitbart News 2A columnist and editor, AWR Hawkins, and a classic AAR legacy roundtable discussion with the original panelists Neil McCabe, David Codrea and fan favorite, George “The Mad Ogre” Hill. [Listen]We were Hour Three.
Judge Gloria Navarro dismissed the charges against the men “with prejudice,” meaning they can't be put on trial again. [More]That alleviates a fear I had about this case. Now let the lawsuits begin, based on intolerable jackbooted thug crap like this:
‘Kick Cliven Bundy in the mouth and take his cattle’Remember the name Dan Love. For the rest of his life.
But civil officials say many pistol permit holders remain unaware of the requirement. [More]Which in many cases probably means they didn't lift a finger educating themselves on and fighting the threat when it was developing.
And since the data doesn’t illustrate the difference in violence between those two jurisdictions, how could any law be effective which applies equally to both? [More]It can't be.
He was a beloved small-town police chief. Now he’s accused of trying to have sex with a child. [More]Hey, who are we to judge?
Controversy swirls in Texas as the San Antonio Police Department has been criticized for its judgement in a human smuggling incident, after a case involving 12 alleged illegal aliens was not turned over to U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement. Instead, SAPD opted to handle the case locally and allow these individuals free without so much as a fingerprint or background check. However, SAPD Chief William McManus maintains that his decision to not contact the federal agency was well within his rights as police chief. [More]And your rights?
The shot missed the dog, the round broke into fragments when it hit a hard floor, and a piece of fragment ricocheted and hit a 9-year-old girl in the forehead just above her right eye. [More]Thank goodness he made it home at the end of his shift without any bite wounds. Say, why didn't it press on with its "attack"...?
The same reporters and commentators who insist that it is absurd to worry about sharia coming to the West are, in fact, ideologically arm-in-arm with those in authority who are aggressively introducing sharia-style laws in the West, prosecuting speech that violates those laws, and issuing dark warnings -- in tones unbefitting public officials in a free country -- that you had better learn to be sharia-compliant or you will be sorry. [More]Sounds like the ICSC is just begging for the Streisand effect.
Mark Taylor was indicted Wednesday on two felonies: bribery and conspiracy to commit bribery. He was accused of taking $7 for each nonpublic accident report he supplied to the wife of a St. Louis chiropractor. [More]In light of the old “We've already established what you are. Now we're just haggling over the price” story, this sounds like basically the "Only Ones" equivalent of a crack whore.
Severe flu brings medicine shortages, packed ERs and a rising death toll in California [More]Be a shame if citizens were left short because of sanctuary needs...
Michigan dairy farmer gets prison time for hiring undocumented immigrants [More]Do it in California and I'll be impressed.
Fury as Disney 'browns up' white actors to star in Aladdin despite filming next to one million-strong Asian community [More]What did you think this was, a two-way street?
Police told ABC News the incident has "nothing to do with terrorism."So if they're that certain, why has "the station and the surrounding area ... been blocked off as officials investigate the incident"?
[C]hild and family psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg says “there is something dreadfully exclusionary” about the concept of a “best friend,” and notes some American and European schools already forbid kids from having them. [More]Nilsson speech is not free speech.
How Weaver can keep a straight face claiming an idiot “buyback” event will have any impact on gangs doing their thing is left unsaid. That’s because it can’t and he knows it. But being an opportunistic Democrat, he knows plenty of politicians manage to get ink in the local papers and face time on local newscasts spouting such nonsense. [More]Hey, a Democrat politician under restraining order has to do something to get good press...
A Mexican man acquitted of murder in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman that sparked a national immigration debate was sentenced to time served for illegal gun possession Friday. [More]At least Wayne Fincher and David Olofson got what was comin' to 'em!
The Tillis/Lankford amnesty is dubbed the SUCCEED Act, and it would offer a 15-year path to the voting booth to roughly 2 million illegals, plus their chain-migration relatives ... Tillis’ amnesty was also backed by retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch, another long-standing advocate for H-1B outsourcing.[More]And it's still not enough for the Democrats. No amount of ...uh... quislinging ever will be.
So it’s no surprise that he would add support for frustrated, raging and violent vandals to his list of allies hostile to the Republic from which sprang the Bill of Rights. Or that he was the first choice of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid to head the DNC. [More]The takeaway is he's not just an obscure anomaly -- he's a party "leader" backed by the big names.
Ramey says a person called to report claims that a woman in the house was threatening to commit suicide and to hurt children, which prompted the welfare check at 147 Meadowview Drive. Ramey says there was nothing going on at the residence to substantiate these claims, however, and the threats weren't true. [More]Why'd the guy that got killed point a gun at deputies?
Yancey wins tiebreaker for key Virginia seat; Simonds says she won't concede [More]They totally lucked out.
I encourage everyone to let the Frenchtown Police Department know how you feel about the unjust arrest of Donna Gracey... [More]Good idea. And funny how they emulated their namesake and surrendered on comments.
Green Roof Initiative Shows ‘Unintended Consequences’ [More]There are consequences to imposing "progressive" controls over other people's property? It sounded good to idiot voters but they didn't think it through?
Trump administration plan would widely expand drilling in U.S. continental waters [More]Well, I do declare...
Tests performed on the Surface Web demonstrated that private sellers GAOcontacted on gun forums and other classified ads were unwilling to sell a firearmto an individual who appeared to be prohibited from possessing a firearm. [More]Looks like it's back to the drawing board for Fauxcahontas and Old Bloody Hands.
Yale psychiatry professor warns President Trump’s mental health is ‘unraveling’ in meeting with more than a dozen lawmakers [More]In other words, "'Progressive' with agenda commits malpractice while abetting in-progress collectivist coup"?
In 2014, Riehl apparently escaped from a mental health ward of a veterans hospital in Wyoming, where he was staying after a psychotic episode. [More]In other words, he couldn't be trusted without a custodian.
There’s not a bone in his body with any hate. [More]
A white Ohio police officer who fatally shot a black man in a Walmart store says he believed he faced an “imminent threat,” although he acknowledges he never saw the man point what turned out to be an air rifle or threaten anyone. [More]Not that I dare have an opinion.
Pennsylvania State Police urge gun owners to give up firearms to get medical marijuana [More]No secret there.
Following the publication of our interview with his ex-wife who says that he had beat her in front of their baby, Huffington Post contributor Christian Chiakulas published a strange virtue-signalling confession on Medium where he admitted to violence against additional women. [More]I checked him out briefly on Twitter and elsewhere, and he's also evidently a self-described Christian Marxist who admits to having been jailed and under mental health care.
Missouri lawmaker Bruce Franks, Jr. raises fist during Pledge of Allegiance [More]And the gutless f@&#s haven't censured him?
Gun range owner who declared a ‘Muslim Free Zone’ will run for Arkansas governor [More]I'm trying to see how this addresses cultural terraforming concerns:
I strongly support legal immigration and proudly welcome those legally in our state.How does that differ from the Grover/Bloomberg/Chamber of Commerce cheap labor über alles platform? Without a total reset from Ted Kennedy's '65 treason, how will it keep "chain migration" with a "pathway to citizenship" from reshaping the balance of political power to Democrat/gun-grabber advantage?
If California has the power to defy immigration laws, could it secede as well? [More]The same "progressives" who accuse the South of "treason" no doubt think it's a fine idea. Considering the Congressional seats and electoral votes that would go away, I'm tempted to consult Mr. Benny.
While the shooting did involve a police officer it is not being considered an Officer Involved Shooting. Police tell us that is because the gun went off accidentally. [More]I wonder what it woud be considered if you or I had done it.
"Should there be a way that a guy with mental issues like the asshole in Texas can’t get guns? Absolutely. We have to have a dialogue, and that’s not happening." [More]But there are ways. Did this gun owner never check the appropriate 11.f. box on the 4473? And not that all the ways always line up with due process requirements this play-actor's character has the luxury of ignoring (along with all those New York City "commonsense gun safety laws."
A Detroit-area police officer who killed a motorist with three shots violated the man’s constitutional rights but still has immunity in a lawsuit over deadly force, a federal appeals court said. [More]Maybe the dead man should have had obedience training.
Baror reportedly exited his vehicle and got into a dispute with the other driver. He allegedly waved his gun, punched the other motorist and then struck him with his service weapon. [More]Not that someone with my total lack of qualifications should vilify or Monday morning quarterback...
Chelsea Clinton Wishes The Church Of Satan A Happy New Year [More]Hey, you don't want an old acquaintance to be forgot.
Instead of focusing on the evil police would it not be better to educate the public to comply? [More]I believe this merits wider exposure than a simple comment reply. Here's my response to key points made by comment poster "American Patriot" to my latest Oath Keepers piece.
So what can be done? Raise police awareness? More training? What about when hesitation proves a fatal mistake?In re the comment that "the ability of law enforcement to know everyone in his assigned area is virtually impossible," the same can be said in spades for the military. A previous comment by "Tim Allen" seems relevant:
I served in the first Gulf war under strict rules of engagement and I had my butt puckered tight a few times with the slack out of the trigger, but I could not pull the the trigger until all three of the required items were clearly present. Remembering those three things probably kept me out of Leavenworth prison, because there was danger and likely ambushes 24/7. The times I withheld fire, the threat passed and I was relieved that I would not have an unnecessary kill investigated for being trigger happy.In re his assertion that the "reference to LaVoy Finnecum is apples and oranges," no, it's not. Read what the men who shot him reported as their "justification". Just to be logically consistent, how does my critic calling it "an assassination" (which I don't disagree with) not qualify -- by his own criteria -- as"Monday morning quarterbacking"?
Pick a resolution from the above list. There’s actually no reason why most of them can’t be fulfilled over the course of a year. Or you may have ideas of your own you can share with the rest of us in “comments.” [More]The important thing is to do something. Every day.
Before we get Rex all wound up, aren't you forgetting something?For the first time in many decades, we can turn our eyes toward the bright sunlit uplands, where liberty reigns, and where each may abide by his vine and fig tree and be not afraid. [More]
IN OUR MIDST ISIS ‘lone wolf’ fanatic takes chilling selfie on a snow-covered New York street as terror group urges a wave of knife attacks at US churches [More]But...but...but rigorous!
Congressional investigators findThere, I fixed it for ya.irregularities[collusion] in FBI'shandling[clean-up] of Clinton email case [More]
Food-safety expert warns latest bizarre Silicon Valley $60 'raw water' trend could quickly turn deadly [More]Drink up, guys.
When Sprunger started to lobby for sensible gun legislation... [More]Including that adjective outside of quotation marks is hardly objective.
Federal District Court: Simple Involuntary Commitment not a Disqualifier for Second Amendment Rights [More]A Moms Demand Action spokesperson offered an official group reaction:
A Boston police detective is set to be sentenced Thursday for lying to federal officials so he could take his gun on planes during personal trips and allow a friend to avoid airport security. [More]I'm sure you and I would be offered a probation plea deal as long as we made it clear all we wanted to do was visit our parents.
A Charlottesville-area man was convicted in 2014 of receiving stolen property — the motorcycle, which twice had been used to elude police — after an officer who suspected it was stolen walked onto private property and removed a tarp covering the bike without a search warrant. [More]And look who has no problem finding a "single issue" tie- in -- when they want to.
“Now they’re at a point where we’re identifying the specific people that are involved in those incidents and we’re targeting them. The first part of the year we’ll begin collecting a list, and we’ve got that information already, a list of those who have been participatory in multiple non-fatal shootings or homicides.” [More]If you have the information to make a participant list, why haven't they been picked up already?
Murphy, a Democrat, said he has spoken with leadership in New York and California and with legal scholars about doing “whatever it takes” to stop a GOP attempt to rewrite the federal tax code. [More]I don't suppose confining fedgov to limited, delegated functions and states acknowledging a right to choose which services you want and who you want to buy them from is an option...?
Cash Remittances to Mexico Set $26B Record in 2017, Says Central Bank [More]So basically we're talking under three years...?
People are raising Cain on social media about a law in Oregon making it legal for citizens to pump their own gas. [More]The headline is BS, because nothing is being "banned," although considering who's passing laws there, I see how that presumption was made. Still, no wonder the cud-chewers demand a nanny state to "take care" of them and not trust them with adult things like guns.
Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have predicted that cacao plants are likely to go extinct as early as 2050 due to climate change. [More]Oh no! How are we going to pay the Oompa Loompas?
In other words, the man who referred to his little sojourn as a “pilgrimage,” who made videos for the Haqqanis, who had no problem breeding in terrorist captivity, who received mail in “captivity,” and who had enough privacy in captivity to actually carry on a physical relationship with his wife, is now arrested for activities which are pretty common in fundamentalist Islamist marriages and relationships – assault, sexual assault, unlawful confinement, and death threats.[More]
Domestic abusers and guns? Missouri weighs what to do [More]Yul is no help.
More Chicago gangs arming themselves with rifles as alliances spread conflict [More]If this isn't a wake-up call to disarm you and me, I don't know what is.
Booker was playing with his loaded .45 caliber handgun by racking the slide back and forth with his finger on the trigger. After emptying the magazine from the gun, Booker pulled the trigger as the gun was pointed toward the victim. The gun fired and Clark was struck. [More]Keep your Booker hook off the bang switch?
I uncover two important asymmetries among partisans. First, Republicans tend to increase support for VID upon learning of even a miniscule amount of in-person voter fraud, but appear relatively insensitive to strategic considerations. Second, Democrats’ support for VID depends significantly upon which party stands to benefit from the laws, but Democrats do not appear sensitive to information about fraud. [More]I'd like to see the questions, but not badly enough to pay for it. Because while I have no trouble believing Democrats are dicks, that theoretical Republican support sure doesn't appear to prompt much in the way of platform sea change when the GOP candidate is a Groverian cheap labor whore on immigration.
The shooting was reported around 2:25 p.m. Friday, when Mendoza opened fire on his coworkers at the Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin, Mendoza and Harrison law firm in the 300 block of San Antonio Drive. [More]Looks like they removed Mendoza. And recently.
Ostensibly people sign up to be peace officers to serve and protect, and swear an oath to the Constitution obliging them to protect the Bill of Rights as much as anything else. The rest of us want to make it home at the end of their shift, too. [More]Have we seen instances where bodycam recordings leave reasonable people room to dispute the report of hands going to waistbands? Does the name LaVoy Finicum ring a bell?
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch Announces Retirement, With Speculation Focused On Romney [More]And he differs from Democrats in all things important how...?
The prince from 'Snow White' is a sex offender [More]Yeah, but does it matter if she's a racist?
Urban regime culpability for death does not end there. Each of the plaintiff cities brings with it a long record of corruption, abuse and destructive policies. Such malpractice all but ensures what they call “gun violence” (in order to deflect from their failures) will continue unabated. It also deflects from the culprits doing the killing. [More]The lawsuit is merely a ploy, just another attack adding to countless others in order to do “immeasurable harm” to the right to keep and bear arms. On a personal note, I admitted to the editor a weakness for groaner puns and suggested an alternate title if it would make him feel more comfortable, but he left my original as is.
It is January 1, 2018, which means law-abiding Californians can no longer buy ammunition out-of-state or possess an unregistered AR-15 with a bullet button accessory. [More]I know a guy who just got kicked off a Fairfax loyalist California gun forum for suggesting civil disobedience. They're locked into the old paradigm of lobbying oppressors who are now so secure in their positions they no longer need mask their contempt. That and filing lawsuits in hostile districts.
Though Gracey had a permit to carry the gun in her home state, New Jersey's strict gun laws require weapons to be stored unloaded and locked in the trunk. [More]Yes, of course she has a right, and yes, of course New Jersey "law" is evil. That said, my sympathy on a personal level for anyone who enjoys that right yet is so obviously uninformed due to being uninvolved only goes so far.
Most key federal agencies have cut staff under Trump [More]A headline surfer might be inclined to equate that with all personnel and functions within affected agencies being key.
