There Oughta Be a Law
Donna’s Law would require State Police to set up a registration process for anyone who wants to put themselves on a do-not-sell list in Louisiana. You could take yourself off the list after a 21-day waiting period, which is in place to prevent people from acting rashly. [More]Brilliant! And we need another list for people who think they may commit violent crimes to do the same!
They Blow Up So Fast These Days
Youngsters at the Muslim American Society Islamic Center in North Philadelphia are shown in video footage speaking in Arabic during a celebration of “Ummah Day,” said the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a Middle East monitoring organization. One girl says "we will chop off their heads” to “liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque” in Jerusalem, according to the MEMRI. [More]But that's OK-- they're "investigating" themselves and the guy who got caught has been "dismissed." Not deported though...

The DNA was a match to Chester, who was convicted in 1982 for breaking into homes and sexually assaulting four different women in Ventura County. [More]So what was their first clue that he could ever be trusted without a custodian?

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Legal Ethics
In Ethics Seminar, Lawyers Say They’d Report A Client For Legally Owning A Gun [More]Which lawyers? Potential gun-owing clients have a right to know. Plus they have no business practicing law and deserve to have bar complaints filed against them.

Freedom vs. Liberty
How Subtle Differences Between These Two Big Ideas Changed Our World [More]I'm mostly in agreement but I don't get how "a positive liberty" is "an obligation imposed upon you by the state." To me, it would be an obligation imposed upon government to do things like "guarantee[ing] to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," and achieving ends articulated in the Preamble through the proper use of delegated powers.
I don't have time to argue the point, but do feel free to enlighten me in comments.
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Rep. Mary Moore, D-Birmingham, introduced a bill today that she said was intended to ban the sales of all semiautomatic guns, both rifles and pistols.

Unclear on the Concept...
...of guilt, innocence and due process... [More]
How much more ignorant must constituents who elect such incompetents be?
Limitless Power?
Instead of a $400 contribution limit for the entire political movement as a whole, the legal limit now becomes $400 per person. Since there is no limit on the number of people who can do this, for most practical purposes, there is now no legal limit on the group. [More]I pass this on to those of you who grok such things. I have tried, and I have some kind of mental block that takes me back 40+ years to pulling an all-nighter studying for an Econ midterm and reading the same paragraph over and over again with the same frustration as if I were trying to decipher hieroglyphs. If somebody said "blockchain" to me at this point, I'd probably burst into tears.

New One Dollar Canadian Coin Features Two Men Kissing [More]No doubt due to popular demand.
We're still a few years away from the fisting 10-year-olds half-dollar.
Of Course You Realize This Means War
U.S. Appeals Court upholds AG Maura Healey’s interpretation of assault weapons ban [More]I see GOAL has not decided on an appeal to SCOTUS. We have a right to know the government's ultimate intentions but must make sure the arguments are centered on the Founding intent of an armed citizenry keeping and bearing weapons suitable for militia utility. That way there will be no weasel-wording around a John Roberts-led court ruling justifying armed rebellion.
Speaking of which, I had an occasion the other night to watch Amistad, and found it interesting that the movie version of the High Court's opinion acknowledged the slaves were "free individuals with certain legal and moral rights, including the right to engage in insurrection against those who would deny them their freedom."
You could say that's implied if not specifically stated in the actual decision, but I found it curious to see that rhetoric in a film coming out of Hollywood and Spielberg. Then again, I was half-expecting to see Anthony Hopkins' John Quincy Adams wheeled in front of the court on an upright gurney wearing a muzzle mask.

All Things Being Equal
It’s the same rules for everybody. [More]Not really. We can be prosecuted for defending our lives with a gun if we're in the wrong place. Plus if the cops are lying and withholding evidence, chances are it will be done against us instead of for us.

Roblan has been telling people he “must” vote for it in committee but plans to vote “no” on the floor. This is a ruse. As we said, if it gets to the floor it passes, and Roblan knows that. [More]In other words, he thinks his gun owner constituents are ignorant. I guess if enough don't tell him they're on to that trick and won't stand for it, he'll be right.
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Technically' Is
Speaking of Aptronyms
The problem is — and I’m hardly alone in thinking this — that the NRA doesn’t really support me, at least anymore. Their mission, once focused on education, safety and proficiency, seems to have narrowed to a fixation on the preservation of both Republican politicians and the unfettered ability to buy, sell and carry any and every kind of firearm in every conceivable time and place. [More]So says "Greg Hunter," Fudd and Democrat apparatchik. Way to give aid and comfort to the enemies of gun owners, Quisling. If I were an FFL and I knew this guy, I'd tell him to get the hell out of my store.
You want the NRA's original mission? It was to train American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”
Here's where being marginalized by the media and the search engines kills us-- by having this disinformation appear on NBC News, this will get thousands of times more eyeballs than niche "gun advocacy" sites can draw, and influence thousands of times more voters. That's the reason behind the only thing I ask of readers, not that most will bother.

To reiterate, it's not "us" creating "conspiracy theories": Mr. Stamboulieh, Mr. Savage and I are simply repeating what the government is saying, and if that results in inferences and conclusions, they are the ones who can clear it all up -- and won't.
I received the Chisolm letter from the principals the other day along with the document that prompted this response. There's more to say, which I will in a day or so when I finish some other stuff I'm working on first.

U.S. Firearms Freedoms Again Being Blamed for Mexican Cartel Violence
Good ol' ATF.

"You know ladies, with technology the way it is, we wouldn't have an abortion problem if we applied a plan.

Crushing the Non-Competition

“Yes, this is a coup. This is the most shocking violation of the Constitution and criminal activity in the history, not just of America, but of a western government. Much of this rises to the level of treason. People need to understand how shocking this is. It was a clear conspiracy. There will be arrests and indictments without question. . . . This was a coup. It was a conspiracy. It was criminal activity. These people need to be indicted, charged and need to be put in prison, and if they’re not, then our Constitution is nothing more than a sham.

Giffords Gun Group a New Attempt at an Old Divide-and-Conquer Tactic
It’s not the first time we’ve seen gun-grabbers create what became known as “Astroturf” gun groups.
