Notes from the Resistance...
Yet a key reason why Dick’s has done better is the Trump tax cut, which it used not to raise wages but to nearly sextuple its share buybacks, funneling cash to investors. “They increased their buybacks more than average,” says Howard Silverblatt, an analyst at S&P, “and buybacks support the stock.” [More]So sell it back. And leave Ed Stack holding the bag when the true "value" becomes unmistakeably clear.
FFLs generally not being SACs, it’s hardly surprising that no FFL (including several at ar15.com, as well as Georgia and Ohio FFLs contacted) have seen this memo. [More]It's OK -- the majority of KSTP viewers never paid that much attention in the first place and have already forgotten it, so it's not like a few gadfly bloggers with niche readerships will matter.
Specifically, the survey asked people to give their "best guess" on what percentage of Americans owned firearms. [More]Anybody else find "political science" to be an oxymoron?
Reminder: You Can’t “Buy Back” Something You Never Owned [More]Me, I like the way these things encourage people who know nothing about actual gun safety or relevant edicts to handle, clear and transport firearms.
It’s of particular significance because Senate Democrats have filed a lawsuit claiming Acting AG Matthew Whitaker is legally not qualified to serve in that capacity and a “win” for them could conceivably invalidate everything he signs, including the “bump stock ban.” [More]Did the “bump stock” ban memo go out as reported and who signed off on the rule? Acting AG Whitaker? And what happens to rules he signs if the Democrat lawsuit disqualifies him as ineligible for that position?
“If reports are true that the NRA’s leadership engaged in blatant illegal campaign coordination, this news would not only be an insult to NRA members but a serious threat to the integrity of the presidential election," Peter Ambler, executive director of Giffords said in a statement. [More]If I understand all the convoluted relationships right, it appears Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek will be sharing cells with Wayne and Chris while Gabby and Mark let slip the dogs of war...
Who needs 'em when we have Capitol "Only Ones"?Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and fellow Democrats are looking at repealing a fifty-year-old rule that allows Congresscritters to keep guns in their offices and carry them on the Capitol grounds. [More]
Pro-gun control Dick’s Sporting Goods sales down, will close 35 stores [More]It's not reflected on day-to-day stock trades, but look at the last five years. I'd love to see Stack sued into a barrel.
A criminal complaint says a DEA agent traded inside information for bribes which helped facilitate drug shipments to north Florida and Arkansas. [More]God help me, I'm not automatically discounting crucifixion...
An NYPD cop fired the shots that injured a 12-year-old girl and left a 46-year-old woman in severe condition during a wild shootout in the Bronx ... Neither Gomez nor his partner Brandon Gembecki activated the body cameras they were wearing... [More]Rules Two, Three and Four just aren't as important as Taking Care of Number One.
Rising perceptions of insecurity have been cited as a key factor in the increase in issued licenses. Some have warned that the increase could contribute to situations similar to the US, where gun violence is rampant. [More]That's because "some" are liars who know the problems are not with those "law-abiding" enough to get licensed.
And as we all know, Prohibition didn’t work. [More]I beg to differ.
On their broadcast this afternoon 710 KNUS talk radio personalities Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden accused Bethany Candelaria, a newly-hired Marketing and Communications Professional of making racist, anti-Christian, anti-Trump and other offensive posts on her personal page. A sampling of the posts includes: “I enjoy offending white people. It’s just so easy,” as well as “Go f*ck yourselves, America.” [More]Finally, some refreshing "public servant" honesty!
Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department of the fatal shooting of Richard “Gary” Black. [Watch]So failure to immediately obey screamed commands, which could be attributed to a number of reasons including confusion, shock, hearing impairment, etc., should be enough...?
John Rich Challenges Pro-Gun Control Singers to Debate the Issues [More]The thing is, they've found it doesn't hurt them...
A former Baltimore police officer has admitted to the FBI that he stole money, lied in police reports and improperly used electronic surveillance devices, federal prosecutors in California said — widening the scope of police misconduct unearthed by the Gun Trace Task Force scandal. [More]So why'd he have to resign from ATF...?
America Doesn't Have a Gun Violence Epidemic – Democrat Cities Do [More]So disarming Democrats would only be "commonsense"...?
'We’re going to kill you': Nicaragua's brutal crackdown on press freedom [More]Gosh, it's almost like when Marxists take over, the useful "social justice"idiots that helped them suddenly become useless eaters...
‘Your time is up’ South Africa sets date for white farmer land grabs – March 2019 [More]Nah, just kidding. Surrender and die anyway.
“He alone created the violence, and he alone bears responsibility for his course of action,” Ayub said. “The burden lies solely with him – not those who tried to save lives..." [More]The consistency test here is to ask if the sheriff would take the same position had it been a lawfully armed citizen whose good intentions resulted in tragedy.
The very first one I semi-randomly selected (wanted something recent) was a guy who drove around town and shot out windows randomly — and happened to include a school — with a BB gun. [More]I may have a way to come up with a way to establish an objective definition: Did the armed "school resource officer" retreat and take shelter? If "yes," it qualifies.
Police did not specify what the weapons were, only that they were owned legally and "were voluntarily surrendered to police at the juvenile's residence by his parents," according to the statement. [More]And there was no "or else" attached to their "request"?
"These acts are not taken as jokes, and should never be used in a joking manner." Police said that any such remarks or posts "must be investigated as a threat, until proven otherwise, and those involved will be charged accordingly."The "authorities" being the arbiters of acceptable speech limits and proclaiming citizens are guilty until proven innocent don't exactly ease my concerns about freedom in New Jersey.
Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan [More]Next time he gets himself in a bind -- and he will -- let the Central Americans answer his call for aid.
Nadler: I'm ending investigation into FBI, DOJ when I become chairman [More]It's been a while since we've heard from Gomer...
You can defend yourself, hunker down against the roving bands of marauders, the government goons, the tax collectors and the politically correct, but in order to effect change, to address the crisis of culture and the republic, you have to get out into the street. [More]I've always had concerns with that, foremost that you can't control who shows up to ensure you'll be tarred with their brush, including provocateurs.
Irish lecturer stabbed to death in Paris had 'insulted the Prophet Mohammed', says his Pakistani killer [More]Something must be done. But what?
Paris Is Burning Over Climate Change Taxes -- Is America Next? [More]We know what NIMBYs are. They want something, just not where they have to deal with it. So we shouldn't be surprised that they're also NIMBAs (Not in my bank account) who want something but don't want to have to pay for it.
“Just to make it crystal clear, New York federal prosecutors concluded that the President of the United States committed a felony,” he tweeted. [More]What's clear is this whole effort hasd been to take him out and it looks like they've found a side issue that will work where the central premise failed. If this is what they go after him on, it'll be awful tough to defend him without taking the position that he should be exempt.
Facing a veto threat from Gov. John Kasich, state senators on Thursday backed off a plan to pass a so-called Stand Your Ground gun rights bill and voted 19-10 in favor of a vastly scaled back bill. [More]Can there be a more embarrassingly irritating malady to suffer from?
Congresswoman-elect Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) did not disclose the name of the source of funds for a fellowship that was paid by liberal billionaire George Soros—as required by the House ethics committee—and also disclosed a lesser amount than she received, according to a review of tax and financial disclosure forms. [More]No worries. And who but a hater would object?
Judges are now openly treating illegal immigration as the new civil rights movement [More]That's because they're traitors.
Sheriff's office identifies 3 deputies who shot and killed patient at psych hospital [More]I'd probably be inclined to shoot somebody coming at me with a piece of broken glass, too. The issue here is, would I be "allowed" to?
Massive Noncompliance to Boulder, Colorado, Assault Weapons Ban [More]When and where the old paradigm no longer works, there's always the new one.
‘I’m open to entertaining both variations’ [More]Oh shoot-- now I won't be able to host the Oscars...
"You're always going to have people that are going to fight against the law, unfortunately," said Brian Clark, Gun Doctor. [More]"Unfortunately"? Really?

A Powerful Dissent Charges Judges Who Casually Uphold Magazine Restrictions With Disrespecting the Second Amendment [More]Ya think...?
Instead, amid cries of “Black Lives Matter,” we see cognitive dissonance from those “leaders” who respond by demanding citizen disarmament. Their contradictory “solution” is to make sure the enforcers they accuse of killing them are the “Only Ones” with guns. [More]Not that we should ever expect"progressive" positions to be consistent or reality-based...
California: Firearm Excise Tax Legislation Introduced [More]I'm still scratching my head over how.
How Much Blood Would Leftists Be Willing To Shed To Disarm Patriotic Americans? [More]As long as it's not their own...?
“Our victims are better served being in front of other judges." [More]Exploring why and taking necessary corrective measures would seem appropriate.
A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld New Jersey’s law restricting the size of firearm magazines to 10 rounds, saying it doesn’t run afoul of the Second Amendment and will help save lives by giving victims more time to flee while a shooter reloads. [More]The precedent is set. And all SCOTUS has to do to let it stand is...nothing.

Honduran migrant, 19, gives birth to a baby boy less than 24 hours after climbing over the border fence in Tijuana and setting foot in the United States [More]Let no crime go unrewarded.
What nationalism portends for Eastern Europe, we will leave to them and we can excuse Europeans lacking a firm grasp of American history. But for the American Left and Trump’s conservative critics here at home, ignorance is no excuse for sowing confusion. [More]That's a polite way of saying they're subversive globalist liars with an ultimate goal of totalitarian powers over individualism.
Michael Bloomberg told a radio interviewer this week that if he runs for president he will sell his financial-data and news operation, or he will place it in a blind trust. [More]Is there a psychological term for someone in denial about how repellant he is twisting things into the delusion that his leadership is craved by the masses?
Everyone knows guns are anathema to American Jews. Like most stereotypes, it contains some truth, but what has been true is changing. [More]How has it been changing?
Biden: 'I'm the most qualified person in the country to be president' [More]Will that mean he's got to give up being a gumshoe?
i gern (expletive) kill dis professor bey this is my confession to a premeditated murder [More]Me, I'm wondering how he got out of third grade and what ever happened to admissions standards. Then I start thinking about "progressive" academia being turned on by a monster of its creation, and all the young people saddled with crippling debt that will chase them into middle age because operating costs have to make up for inclusion of non-payers and worthless majors "taught" by otherwise unemployable, rage-filled misfits...
They also prevent Mr. Evers from banning guns in the Wisconsin Capitol without permission from legislators. [More]What is this "permission" of which they speak?
Jews are getting attacked in Brooklyn and the Forward is ready to explain to us why it isn't anti-semitic: "while the attacks are targeting Jews, it may be because black people identify Judaism as a form of almost hyper-whiteness" [More]Good thing black people can't be racist.
Police: Drug dealer released from prison, then carjacks woman in parking lot [More]Dangerous moron...
A handful of protestors rallied outside the Broward Sheriff's Office headquarters Wednesday, calling for Sheriff Scott Israel to resign or be recalled. [More]That there was only a handful says much about the constituency that elected him in the first place.
Dick's Sporting Goods told investors during the Goldman Sachs Retailing Conference that its gun-control stance hurt sales of its hunting business, outdoors business, and that it may close its outdoor-focused Field & Stream stores. [More]So cutting back on inventory won't be enough?
Ohio bans distracted driving, cops to fill in details [More]There goes changing stations and adjusting the temperature...
A passage in the opinion, which Justice Scalia had plainly added to secure a fifth vote, said the decision "should not be taken to cast doubt" on many kinds of gun control laws." [More]So all the antis jumping on that to discredit "shall not be infringed" are relying on a "compromise" made to get the thing passed. This makes me wonder if Scalia communicated with anyone outside the court for a green light on how much could be given up...
They are being evicted from the streets. The city’s homeless crisis is apparently so bad that officials are now serving eviction notices before tearing down homeless encampments. [More]But...but...but the mayor...
Bump stock ban a good start [More]Right. Nothing has come before. And now that they've tasted the blood offering, the jackals are emboldened to circle in closer for more.
They’ll propose further restrictions under the bald-faced pretense that it’s "a good first step." They won’t tell you that there are already over 20,000 gun laws on the books at the federal, state and municipal level that are consistently ignored by all but the law-abiding.
"A good first step…" the clueless segment of our victim pool populace will drone back at the proposal of law number 20,001.
"One helluva good first step– keep ‘em coming!" agree illegally armed criminal predators, emboldened with each new law that renders their prey increasingly vulnerable…

Three laws in particular combined to stack the deck against Republicans. First came the Motor Voter law. This meant that as soon as any California resident acquired or renewed his driver’s license or state ID, he would be registered to vote automatically. Second, the state legislature authorized counties automatically to send absentee ballots to voters, even if they had not requested those ballots. Third, the rules governing ballot custody were changed so that anyone could turn in absentee ballots, not just the actual voter. [More]Can you imagine them doing something similar to enable gun ownership?
But with Ryan leaving Congress and Democrats winning control of the House, Thompson now plans to introduce a bill that will go further than any of those earlier proposals: It will require a background check for every gun sale or transfer, regardless of who’s doing the selling or transferring. [More]And perennial gundouche Peter King will be reprising his role as enemy inside the gates.
The drum being beaten throughout the media is that for Republicans to win they’ll need to abandon their core constituencies and adopt the Democrat platform – on immigration, on guns, on redistribution of wealth, on traditional values, on you name it. [More]The way things are going, you don't want to see what a unified house would look like...
Undercover ATF agents bust alleged 'ghost gun' ring dealing in AK-47s, homemade silencers ... The feds also say undercover agents bought guns and crystal methamphetamine from Luna multiple times from Nov. 20, 2017 through mid-June. [More]What were they waiting for them to do? Walk 'em to Mexico?

“This was a big guy. If she hadn’t had a weapon there’s no telling what would have happened,” Clark said. [More]So he didn't take it away from her and use it against her?
According to Michael Harriot at The Root, police killed more Americans in 2017 (1,129) than military combat, terrorism, airplane crashes, mass shootings, and Chicago gang violence combined. Furthermore, of those 1,129 slain, most (718) were suspects in nonviolent offenses, stopped for traffic violations, or were found innocent of any crime whatsoever. The recent case of Jemel Roberson in suburban Chicago is one more reason to remove law enforcement from Swalwell’s exempt list. [More]But...but...but then they wouldn't be "Only Ones," and that's the whole point...
Fate of The Weekly Standard is uncertain, editor tells staff [More]Gee, that's too bad.

Science Fiction writer claims the Lord Of The Rings series is 'racist' because it discriminates against orcs [More]Hey, he's the one who compared them to "immigrants." That alone ought to be enough to eradicate any publicity boost this stunt has given his career and get him widely condemned and shunned as a racist.
This was a surreal moment: @SeattlePD officer came up and said I was "inciting conflict" and potential violence just by being there. If my physical presence in a public space makes someone else want to become violent, the problem is not with me. [More]Where does this guy think he is, America?
Pro-Tip: Do not, DO NOT, *D*O* *N*O*T* Shoot Dragon's Breath magnesium incendiary rounds indoors. [Watch]Leave that to the pros.
A resolution to urge food establishments and franchisees to stop gender classification of kid's meal toys. [More]You've gotta wonder what kind of morons would elect this Leslie Love creature, and if that may explain why solving their more pressing issues remains elusive. That is the kind of tyranny of the majority idiocracy those tearing at the electoral system would impose on us all.
Limbaugh has been with Aurora police since June 2015. Police said he also killed a suspect in a shooting in June. He returned to work 18 days after the incident and was also cleared in that shooting. [More]So let's see, once is happenstance...
