We're the Only Ones in Plain View Enough

Thirteen Philadelphia police officers will be fired over racist or offensive Facebook posts. More than 50 other officers are being reprimanded or suspended. [More]
Really?

For some reason, those behind the effort are not in plain view.

We're the Only Ones Customary Enough

Gun-running Long Beach customs agent had 41 machine guns stashed at home ... some of which he obtained by using his power as a law enforcement official ... exploiting his status as a law enforcement officer to buy handguns that can’t be sold to the public by a federal licensed dealer."[More]

Unlike the United States, Israel has no right to bear arms... [More]
Of course the people there have the right to keep and bear arms. That it is not "officially" recognized and is being denied them is another matter.

NRA Alt: Shut Up And Train

The last line of defense in America is not a lobbyist wearing $1,000 tasseled loafers, but millions of trained law-abiding Americans capable of defending their life and property.  [More]
True enough. The last line. But without such efforts, the training now can be greatly infringed upon. And as Jeff Knox reminds us, you are the "gun lobby." 

By all means, look at these guys and see if what they offer gives you superior training alternatives. They appear to have a well thought out and comprehensive operation, but I'm not the guy who can write it up in detail with any real training creds authority. You're the one who's going to have to see if this is something you want to pursue, and it's pretty obvious that will require a real commitment.

Well if Ellen Page and Areola Grande are against it...

There's a larger issue, and we'll see how that plays out in the upcoming political prelude to more unrestrained preference signaling. The Democrats will be running on the platform that if you're not one of them you're a racist, no longer welcome in your own country and with all the attendant "benefits" thereof.

There's an Even Bigger Takeaway

The big takeaway is that in the United States, civil society has declined. While the blame cannot entirely be laid at the feet of big government and big business (individual actors are involved), there is strong evidence to suggest that the crisis in American civil society is driven primarily by the welfare state and government policies favoring deindustrialization, financialization and centralization of the economy. [More]
So our diversity isn't our strength?

That's the one thing I see missing from this.

And the decline isn't universal.
