A Natural Constituency

Appealing to his left flank, Gov. Cuomo announced Wednesday that he’s signed an executive order to give convicted felons on parole the right to vote. [More]
From the party of criminals, who understandably want you disarmed...

No, of course he hasn't also restored "gun rights. His legion of restored Democrats knows how to get 'em when they want 'em, and when they do, it feeds the exploitable demand for more citizen disarmament.

When parasites outnumber the productive, they can "vote" the latter to be their slaves.

As a corollary to "the law": Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted with a vote.

Attacking Their Own

Like a scene from “Tom and Jerry,” workers fruitlessly tried to stomp on the agile rodent when it scurried from a hole in which dry ice had been dropped in an effort to control the furry pests. One worker even swung a shovel at the plucky rat in a comical whack-a-mole routine. [More]

The $64,000 Question

Why are State Attorneys General putting up with school walkouts to promote gun control when the walkouts violate state laws against disrupting public schools? [More]
Because the Democrats want it to happen and the Republicans are gutless and focused on politics and optics, and scared scheisseless of provoking a defiant reaction that would require no-nonsense enforcement which would let them be painted as fascists, or else make them look like impotent weaklings...?

Questions for Trump Administration’s Bump Stock Prohibitionists Remain Unanswered


Before we allow the government to start apportioning blame, imposing new restrictions, coercing the relinquishment of private property and creating new felony charges with which to ensnare heretofore law-abiding gun owners, don’t we deserve to know the documented scope of the threat so that an appropriate level of response, if any, can be determined? [More]
See the new (and withheld from public distribution) Congressional Research Service report, and exclusively-reported ATF and FBI responses to a Freedom of Information Act request. Then ask yourself why the feds are trying to ram through a power grab while reversing prior legal findings, operating in secrecy, and deliberately withholding information until after the deed is done?

Travel Restrictions

“[A] State agency shall not permit a State officer or employee, special State officer or employee, or member of the Legislature to engage in any travel to be paid, in whole or in part, out of State funds, or to be otherwise sponsored by the State, to any state of the United States if that state has not enacted a permit to purchase firearms law. This prohibition shall also apply to any organization that receives aid from the State.” [More]
So the side that's always leveling the accusation are the real xenophobes? Does this mean other states can pass bills prohibiting entry by New Jersey officials?

Back Online

Thursday two readers reported a pop up warning when they tried to access it, so to be safe I set the blog to private to keep things contained until I can figure out what’s what, if anything– my friend is a pro and he has found no malicious code:

His analysis:
I have found nothing wrong in the site's HTML. Normally when a site has been poisoned there's an obvious javascript exploit injected into the code, and I've found nothing of the sort. If you only got a few complaints, it may well be that the virus is on other people's computers and has nothing to do with your blog. Something else: that same numbered widget (but without the [1] in the URL) is part of blogger's standard set of widgets, so I doubt it's really harmful. It could just be a false alarm.
I'll add that I have been unable to duplicate a warning when accessing the site from other devices, and out of all WoG visitors only two have reported a pop-up. With that as backdrop, I'm turning the site back on for public view with the caveat that I couldn't guarantee my life on everything being safe -- I don't suppose anyone can. So proceed at your own risk, YMMV, and if you experience any warnings, please note what they say and contact me with the info.

Sorry, it's the best I know how to do, and with what I've been able to determine to date, it's either proceed with caution or shut down the blog.

Trump Anti-Gun Nominee to Ninth Circuit Driving Away Core Supporters


It’s fair to ask why those who have been defending the president from so many self-inflicted situations he now finds himself in should care if Robert Mueller and “the Swamp” prevail.  A President Mike Pence could do no worse and possibly would do a lot better, especially considering his record on guns.
