The Democrat Rule for Perpetuity Act of 2019
The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Puppy Pistol returns? Activists remind Va. lawmakers of prank that ensnared gun lobbyist [More]Wishful thinking and denial notwithstanding, this will never go away. Why would the antis give up a treasure trove of Alinsky Rule 5 opportunity?
I wish it weren't so, but last I checked, what I wish for and what happens don't share a close relationship.

We're the Only Ones Friendly Firing Enough
"Our conclusion in this incident was this was not a result of an act of negligence, carelessness or otherwise reckless behavior," Lafayette Police Chief Patrick Flannelly said at a press conference Friday. "It was accidental." [More]They actually blamed the f***ing dog for the idiot violating Rules 2 through 4.

It Depends Upon what the Meaning of the Word 'Respond' Is
Expert Opinions
A four-person University of California, Berkeley panel on gun violence in schools does not appear to have any conservative representatives, with one member even admitting she has "no background" on the subject. [More]They're not quite as qualified at total indoctrinated ignorance as the Parkland kids, but they've had a few more years experience at being deliberately hostile to reality, so that ought to count for something.
[Via Michael G]
Ignorance of the Law IS an Excuse
An interesting opinion from an Illinois appellate judge, arguing against the Illinois rule under which it's a crime to possess a gun with a defaced serial number even if one has no reason to know that it's defaced. [More]The ones I'd like to see severely punished are the evil bastards that know "the supreme Law of the Land" full well but then intentionally violate it.

AFTER the Smoke Clears
Addlepated
Earlier this evening Secretary Pate contacted me to offer his most sincere apologies and accept full responsibility while also reiterating his personal support for this amendment. The Secretary of State’s office is reviewing all legal means to potentially right this ship, but options appear to be limited. [More]Incompetence or sabotage? Anybody see an Option Three?
We're the Only Ones Unbiased Enough

About What You'd Expect from Knuckle-draggers, Ammosexuals and Haters
When Jayme Closs showed up at their doorstep, the Kasinskas family sprung into action, taking two steps before most anything else. They called 911. And they grabbed their firearms, in case the kidnapped teen's abductor was in pursuit. [More]What do gun-grabbers call such people?
Oh, yeah: "Vigilantes."

The Enemy of My Comrade or Something...
In 1984, the anthropologist Clifford Geertz wrote that you could be ‘anti anti-communism’ without being in favour of communism. [More]Good year for Doublethink.
But, yeah, ignoring the totalitarianism and genocide, things weren't that bad. If we'd just reopen the door for kinder, gentler "socialism," you'd see we'd get it right this time.
Besides, if we can't trust an academic who was a devotee of Max Weber, who should we listen to?

Tuning In
I'll be on two programs this afternoon:
- At 2: 30 Eastern I'll be joining Gun Talk Radio with Tom Gresham, to discuss a potential Florida ballot initiative that demonstrates what the gun-grabbers really mean by "commonsense" is "No guns for you."
- At 5:00 Eastern I'll be on Guns, Politics and Freedom with Paul Valone to talk about two recently introduced federal Intolerable Acts: the "background check" and semiauto ban bills.

Feinstein Ban on Semiautos Deliberately Undermines ‘Security of a Free State’
Feinstein and her co-conspirators know this, of course, and they know that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to ensure “the security of a free State.” They also know that stands in the way of their goal of attaining unchallengeable power, what German political economist Max Weber endorsed as a “monopoly of violence.” That’s why she and they are so desperate to disarm Americans who might stand in opposition to their goals. [More]A line by Sir Wilfrid in "Witness for the Prosecution" comes to mind:
"My Lord, may I also remind my learned friend that his witness, by her own admission, has already violated so many oaths that I am surprised the Testament did not LEAP FROM HER HAND when she was sworn here today!"

The Most Useful Idiots
The influence within the Republican Party going forward must not come from phony would-be socialists who seek the approval of those tearing down this nation. [More]Any temporarily useful "approval" they get will evaporate at election time, as once more the Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) they're sucking up to will resume portraying them as hate-enabling extremists.
[Via Mack H]
He Went to Jared
Now, Jared Kushner is working with Lindsey Graham to promote a deal of some border wall funding in exchange for codifying and expanding that very amnesty. The problem is that amnesty is the main reason why we need a border wall at all. More of it will make a wall useless. [More]As I asked the other day:

It sounds like they want someone else to do the work and foot the bill, like typical cheap-ass socialists.
[Via Henry Bowman]
Banking on Disarmament
California Democrat Maxine Waters is the new chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee. To judge from the party’s past behavior and the various proposals emanating from the left, Waters’s Democrats are going to pressure banks, credit unions, and payment companies to severely curtail and even terminate their relationships with firearm manufacturers, licensed gun retailers, and law-abiding citizens exercising their right to purchase and own firearms. In other words, they will use political pressure to force private institutions into creating social policy that threatens constitutional rights. [More]It could be they'll screw things up so badly that the best way to get a new gun will be to take it off the confiscators.
We're the Only Ones Trafficking Enough
A Top Republican Consultant
"The scenario I think we could be heading toward is Trump hitting a Mueller-induced problem where there would suddenly be several people looking at running because of the odds increasing that he won’t run again," said Rob Stutzman, a veteran GOP consultant in Sacramento, Calif., who has had discussions with like-minded Republicans about how Trump 2020 might be derailed.

This reminds me of nothing so much as an old "Saturday Night Live" skit back when it was still funny.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue" because it's "unrelated."

Personas Prohibidas
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System listed 7,836,600 “illegal/unlawful alien” as of 2018. That number has been increasing in recent years. [More]People actually check that box?
Is it safe to assume most of those would be adult males? That would mean the total population would have to be a hell of a lot more than the often cited "12 million."
Then I see"3,300 were denied."
I'm sorry, I'm just not getting what this report is telling me.
Wump Wump Yourself
...someone apparently doesn’t understand how 4473s work... [More]Either that or someone purposely ignored the part that said "creating records that could later be compiled into a registration tool (and you know the Democrats will be going after that prohibition in the next round of budget negotiations)."
It's one of the goals, you know.
AmmoLand doesn't think it's productive for authors to enter the fray and I agree-- we've had our say and now it's the readers' turn, plus trolls will then pile on and eat up our time -- but sometimes it's frustrating.
