A federal judge on Tuesday invalidated the Trump administration's addition of a U.S. citizenship question to the 2020 census, the first ruling in a handful of lawsuits that claim the query will hurt immigrants. [More]See, disenfranchising you and me doesn't count.

Does this still work?" O'Rourke said. "Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships . . . and security agreements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?" [More]Yeah, the problem is we've been following the Constitution too closely all these years.

Lowering the Barr
On the assault weapon front, the proposal before us is the DeConcini amendment. And I think ... I would support both the Brady Bill waiting period and the DeConcini [semi-auto ban] amendment, provided that they were parts of a broader and more comprehensive crime bill that included ... very tough provisions on the use of firearms in crimes and illegal purchase and trading in firearms... [More]Yeah, I know.
I took the liberty of modifying the canned letter:
Closing the Stable Door
Democrats still have a strong pull on a large percentage of Hispanic votes, but GOP support from the group is stable. [More]For now, not that a stable 70/30 guarantees anything but a win for Team Totalitarian...

I know the area in question well -- it was one of our preferred camping sites when we lived in SoCal and we have many happy memories from there. One truism I have noticed about all wilderness areas -- the easier they are to get to by car, the more of an attraction they are for the same types who trash their neighborhoods.
Our groups, which included many of the types of people she seems especially hostile to, applied the same ethic we lived our lives by to making sure what we left were footprints that the high desert winds would soon blow away.

Ourselves and Our Posterity
The U.S. needs a birth rate of at least 2.1 children per woman to replace the current population of the country without experiencing population decreases. [More]What should the population be? Would deleterious effects of a decrease be the same across the board? Aren't some populations increasing? Is that good or bad? What effect is that likely to have on the balance of political and economic power? Would the main effect of a decrease in the productive sector mean a more rapid collapse of the Ponzi scheme?

Toning Down the Old Toxic Masculinity
‘Cut the Wire,’ a Toy Bomb Game, Is Discontinued After Criticism [More]They should have told the Marxist bluenoses where to shove the bomb. I don't know any boy that wouldn't think this is cool -- at least until the brainwashers got hold of him or doped him out on Ritalin if he didn't get with the program.
And I believe I owe this man an apology. It's his former colleagues that ought to be ashamed of themselves.
When feral sons Uday and Qusay were cubs, we'd occasionally go to those restaurants that give you those coaster thingies that buzz and light up when your table is ready. We'd pass the time playing it was a bomb and passing it around after holding it a minute to see who it "exploded" on.
We still play it on rare occasions when we find ourselves in one of those joints.

Betrayal in Waiting?
Donald Trump says he’s open to Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons age limit – or even a ban [More]Some of us have been careful to clarify we support the agenda he ran on and had eyes wide open on the man, especially considering his past statements. Some no doubt will once more attribute this to genius-level three-dimensional chess being played out several moves ahead. Being a man of lesser faith in political saviors, I'm scratching my head over why he seems to think, when beset on all sides, that it's a good idea to demotivate the only supporters he's got left, especially since ejecting him and moving Pence to the top slot might end up being a windfall move.
I got this link from Herschel, who has some thoughts of his own.
And UPDATE: I didn't realize this story was a year old. Still, the caution is timeless.

The Best a Man Can Get?
The ad, dubbed “We Believe,” opens with audio of news about the current #MeToo movement, bullying and “toxic masculinity.” [More]My favorite comment among the overwhelming pledges that Gillete will get no more business: "Get woke, go broke."
Just the people I need lecturing me on how to enlighten the men of tomorrow.
Speaking of Fatal Flaws...
The existing research is fatally flawed. Most studies just examine all immigrants as a monolithic group, rather than separately studying legal and illegal immigrants. There is a good reason to believe that people who come to America legally tend to be more law-abiding than those who do so illegally. [More]Good, but this is woefully incomplete and ignores a greater long term danger. When are we going to see a comparable study addressing the calculated political terraforming and its inevitable "single issue" effects?
Irrespective of partnerships...?

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.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

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.
