Commonsense Speech Safety Laws

Two students at Lacey Township High School were placed on 5 days of suspension, plus Saturday suspension, for posting pictures on social media of firearms with the caption of "fun day at the range,” according to NJ101.5. Apparently sharing a photo from a shooting range on social media disrupted the "school climate," one of the students facing punishment said. Not only are they after the Second Amendment, they are also after the First Amendment. [More]
Well yeah. We can't have any "pro-gun" teens left. That's not only a threat to the approved narrative, but the whole point of ideological cleansing is to eradicate badthink. And badthinkers.

Who really thought this was about guns?

A Fairfax 180

On the issue of ERPOs what the NRA-ILA once referred to as “firearm surrender bills,” he said, “We need to stop dangerous people before they act. So Congress should provide funding for states to adopt Risk Protection Orders. This can help prevent violent behavior before it turns into a tragedy.” [More]
It's like up is the new down.

With his obvious vast historical knowledge, it also doesn't surprise me that he's into armbands. I must say, the resemblance is startling.

But It's for a Good Cause...

The national school walkout for gun control that took place at many public schools across the country Wednesday likely violated the Constitution. That is because the government — in this case, public schools — made a special accommodation for a political viewpoint that it would not make for the opposing view, or for any other view. [More]

This is just stunning.

Just don't lose sight that the key mission -- to make first responders aware of the significance of their oath and their lawful duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders -- is an honorable and necessary one that all Americans who value liberty should support regardless of who is promoting it.

As more becomes known, future posts on this will invite thoughtful comments.  Sorry if you don't like it, but I owe nothing to anonymous trolls and the SPLC blog will give them -- and even supporters -- a bigger audience anyway.

THIRD PROBLEM: Amnesty for Anti-Gun Voters - The Republican leadership would reportedly provide guarantees to millions of anti-gun illegals currently in this country. Pew Research has shown that illegal aliens vote at a rate of 8:1 for Democrat candidates who are invariably anti-gun.

The shooting occurs amid intense debate over whether to arm teachers in the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting...
Where is he politically? Information takes time to dig, so we can look at the company he's been known to keep.  I did find out he was a Peace Corps volunteer, which suggests "progressive" sympathies. I further found he teamed up with other collectivists to end Prop 13 corporate property tax exemptions to redistribute the wealth they create to public schools, and that group endorsed a host of anti-gun Democrats, publicizes "Resistagrams," endorsed California's Disarmageddon, and now calls for nationwide citizen disarmament in the wake of Parkland.

He also had the endorsement of the Central Coast Labor Council, which features praise for Hillary and condemnation for Trump on its website.

Pardon me if I smell something other than an "accident" -- something that went wrong with unintended collateral damage. It seems to me an in-depth and transparent investigation is in order.

UPDATE: Yeah, the gun-grabbers are exploiting this alright. I guess that means "progressive" cops should not be armed...?  These people are such shameless liars.

And expect those following up to be marginalized and ignored.

Mindless Little Things That They Are

Hillary Clinton on Saturday partly blamed her 2016 presidential loss on white women and said that they voted for Donald Trump because their husbands told them to vote that way. [More]
They're that brainless and controllable to where they can't be trusted to vote and she complains about the "glass ceiling" and "wage inequality," and "thinks" they ought to lead?  Or only "women of color," which leaves her exactly where?

Jeez, lady, you just put poor Norman on overload again.

Have a nice trip last fall?

UPDATE: She sprained her hand on that last one.

Losing the War on Guns

The old paradigm is no longer as effective against new tactics. [More]

Squabbling comments confirm the problematic nature of herding cats.

And what's needed crashes right into an immutable reality I've been unsuccessfully trying to overcome or work around, under or through for decades.

Case in point for all WarOnGuns "regulars": What's your score?

Now That Precedent is Being Set...

President Michelle Obama said in a statement late Saturday that given the 2018 precedent set by the Trump Era Bump Stock Ban, she sees no legal impediments to this new ban on semi-automatic assault guns. [More]
Neither will supportive "progressive" judges.

More of That 3D Gun Chess We Keep Hearing About

Trump White House Declares Support for California-Style Gun Confiscation Orders [More]
And why not?

Leading "conservative thinkers" think the idea is just the thing to offer up to those who want it all.
