THEY'RE Frustrated?
[Via Roger J]
Editorial Comment
It's a small victory for guns rights groups [More]How so?
I'd think "[a] judge blocking a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in the small town of Deerfield, Illinois, less than 24 hours before it was meant to go into effect" is something that shouldn't be minimized without cause, especially noting a BloomBorg priority of attacking preemption.
Admittedly, a TRO isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either, the point being there was no need to characterize it either way. If you're going to make that assertion a subhead for what is being presented as "straight news," don't you think you ought to substantiate it? Or just admit you're biased, agenda-driven apparatchiks, which any gun owner familiar with "Vice News" already knows?
Speaking of hyperbole, I see our friends at Fairfax are claiming credit and leaving unacknowledged another national player that assumed a major role bearing the burden.

Hooray for Hollywood!
The Democratic National Committee and members of Congress are turning to Hollywood for help with voter turnout and messaging ahead of the midterm elections and 2020 presidential campaign, quietly consulting with a group of actors, writers and producers here.

Still, who better to educate us on guns?

Making Lemonade Out of Lemons
Guns Save Life loves Chicago's gun buybacks. Three times in the past dozen years or so, the scrappy Illinois gun rights group has sold rusty junk to Chicago's taxpayers, then used the proceeds to send young people to an NRA summer shooting camp. Saturday, Guns Save Life pulled it off again. [More]I'd like to see stuff like this get publicized in the mainstream, maybe with letters to the editor or social media replies to their "buyback" stories.

Armed and Informed?
GOC was disturbed to learn that both YouTube and INTUIT had sucker-punched the 2nd Amendment community... [More]How is it possible to be sucker-punched by people we've known for years have it in for us unless you're oblivious? And who would be in today's climate?
Then there's this bit of hyperbole:
...2nd Amendment champion John Cox...That's a strong word.
I'm afraid I'll need a bit more than "California has more than enough gun laws" and a vague reference to what sounds like a mental health blanket dragnet. I expect rah-rah superlatives from Fairfax. How about candid assessments and see if gun owners can figure out he probably won't be as big an oppressor as Newsom? Unless he finds it politically expedient to betray them...?
As his idea of for not publishing names and faces of killers, I get the sentiment and agree not to overdo it, but if it's discontinued altogether, we'll become entirely dependent on "official" sources with no way for independents check it out.
Everybody satisfied with Las Vegas...?
And as for the greatest threat, he sounds pretty much like Grover. Anybody at GOC care to take the challenge?
As long as our "leaders" ignore and avoid it, expect the California experience to solidify and spread.

Claims that Disarmament Benefits Women Leave Out Relevant Facts
Keep in mind the truism that for “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day, and the desperation of “women’s rights advocates” to keep “the weaker sex” defenseless becomes perfectly clear. [More]The most fanatically enthusiastic enemies of women defending themselves are Opposite Day “progressive feminists.”

Curious... I don't see "anti-Christian" or "anti-conservative" or "anti-gun owner" categories even though I see regular vitriolic hate directed at all three. Anybody not been called an "ammosexual" or received death wishes...?
And confirmation bias much, on two points with the way this response option for robbery reactions is couched...?
"I would try to kill the burglar with a weapon, even though I know that weapon may be used to kill me."The good thing is, we learn Muslims don't commit any crimes:
Who are these people? I found a "who is" website registrant in New York but no corresponding corporate entity filing with the Secretary of State. It would be interesting to get a name or two for the actual "organization" and see what kind of political sympathies are revealed.

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts?
You want "prohibited persons" arrested for the "crime" of trying to buy a gun? [Watch]
I know "I will not comply" activists who would be "ineligible" if ever caught, arrested, prosecuted and convicted for their defiance.
#MeToo.
Ditto people who have mandated prior restraints without due process... And Wayne and David would have their lives destroyed (again).
Enough with "enforce existing gun laws." Repeal the damned things.
But what about real criminals? What about 'em?
Without addressing a truism nobody with a voice on "our side" seems to want to even acknowledge let alone talk about, don't look for enhanced enforcement to "solve" anything. Seeing as how there's no delegated authority for that anyway, fed usurpation with gun owner approval actually makes things worse.
I will look into that "bus tour" though-- my guess is they'll conduct it like the last one, and for the same reasons.

‘Former Gun Criminal’ Rush Resurrects Old Plot to Gut Second Amendment
"Rush’s own apartment was raided in December 1969, where police discovered an unregistered pistol, rifle, shotgun, pistol ammunition, training manuals on explosives, booby traps, an assortment of communist literature, and a small amount of marijuana. Rush was imprisoned for six months in 1972 on a weapons charge, after carrying a pistol into a police station." [More]When you remember he's essentially a racist commie, it makes perfect sense.

For me and those other Americans 65 or older, when we were in school, a conversation about hiring armed guards and having police patrol hallways would have been seen as lunacy. There was no reason.

Queen Bee
The big "progressive" takeaway from the Samantha Bee/Roseanne Barr flap is that scripted sexism is now officially less of an outrage than negligent racism. Everybody can now feel free to use the "c" word with no employment repercussions, right?
And everybody realizes Bee is an anti-gun "dual citizen," right?
Hey, is it also OK now to "reclaim" the "n-word"?
No?
Then the takeaway stands.
"Feminists": You're just not as important. The preponderance of media excuse-making proves it.

A comment posted Tuesday to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ proposed “Bump-Stock Type Device” rule shows the administration’s intended action sets up conditions for a wider ban on semiautomatic firearms.

[More]If the "rationale" put forth by the administration is allowed to prevail, the gun-grabbers will then be able to use it to go after all semiautos.
