Notes from the Resistance...
This is the kind of gun-grabbing Republican we’ll get if we listen to the “moderates.” This is the kind of Republican who considers due-process-eviscerating and confiscation-enabling “red flag laws” and “universal background checks” good first steps before they really let us know how they feel about guns in the hands of anyone they don’t control. [More]Listening to oily weasels like this will prove disastrous, and not just to Republicans.
What every one of the “top” Republicans—not just in Ohio but lining up to cave and betray core constituents throughout the land—keep failing to address are the “baby steps” leading to the bottom of Nancy Pelosi’s “slippery slope.” Anyone who maintains you can throw a scrap of flesh to a pack of hungry jackals and it won’t encourage them to circle in closer for more is a liar, a fool or both. [More]What these grinning Quislings owe us is to be #ConstitutionStrong.
Two years after losing anti-gun lawsuit, professors won’t talk about campus carry [More]It's when they sulk you know it's really eating at their souls. Which makes the juvenile male pleasure of Nelson Muntzing them all the more satisfying.
Sanctuary county ignores ICE detainer, releases illegal charged with rape on bail [More]Local government reflects the will of the electorate, so why not give the people what they want?
UVA to keep pro-Jefferson ‘Founder’s Day’ despite Charlottesville’s decision to nix presidential holiday [More]The history terminators bent on destruction will be back.
“You can talk over me all you want to but the bottom line is the greatest terrorist threat in this country is white men, white men who think like you. That is the greatest terrorist threat in this country.” [More]Sounds like the time for talking is over.
New California Study Shows 'Red Flag' Laws May Help Stop Mass Shootings Across the Country [More]Then again, they may not.

Administrators at Centennial High School initially caught the 16-year-old boy smoking marijuana wax in a restroom, according to a Peoria Police Department press release. After being taken to the school office, the boy allegedly told an administrator he had a gun in his backpack ... The suspect didn’t make any threats, and the school was never in danger...

“Senator Whitehouse is violating basic legal ethics in threatening the Supreme Court while engaging in the unauthorized practice of law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “He should be held accountable for these abuses.” [More]If the committee does the right thing, which similar experience tells us is doubtful, will anyone be demanding to close the unauthorized practitioner loophole?
There could have been three more mass shootings if these men weren't stopped, authorities say [More]How about "if these idiots hadn't called attention to themselves"?
Missouri lawmakers take cover after shooting of 8-year-old in KC: ‘Gun laws don’t work’ [More]So naturally, the geniuses on the Kansas City Star editorial board are demanding more of it. It's like communist useful idiots insisting the only reason it hasn't worked so far is because everyone who's tried it hasn't done it right yet.
Until we once again teach kids the difference between right and wrong, we will continue to see acts of violence in society. [More]There's a whole thesis here that starts with asking whose responsibility it is to teach them and what their qualifications are. And all of it is shaped by incentives and controls from the collective.
Illinois state senator apologizes for mock Trump assassination at fundraiser [More]As noted before, Trump is an avatar (something he needs to remember). And "apologies" notwithstanding, it's a useful gauge of rabid Sandoval supporters and their wishes for anyone who stands in the way of his demands to disarm and displace them...

A Weasel Whisperer is similar to a Horse Whisperer except that they interpret the double speak of politicians. In this case, we have Sen. Thom Tillis talking out of both sides of his mouth about what he calls ‘ERPOs’ so-called “red-flag” laws or what we lovingly call ‘Gun Confiscation SWATing’. [More]Told ya 'bout this guy. Several times.

Racine County's Shooters Sports Center Manager Mike Arts said he didn't see a problem with the new bill. "I think it's great. I think most responsible shop owners, I'm not speaking for them, but I would think most of them would think it's a very good idea," he said. [More]Nice rope you're selling there, Mike.

"From what I’ve understood from other attorneys, they are trying to establish that I’ve got some sort of mental problem in order to make their case easier. This is a large way in which they intimidate their employees that go rogue on the company," he explained. San Francisco police confirmed to Project Veritas that they did receive a "mental health call" and went to Vorhies' address. [More]Well if that doesn't call for a Red Flag I don't know what does.
THE PHILLY POLICE SHOOTINGS HAPPENED BECAUSE GUN LAWS WEREN'T ENFORCED [More]I'd say that's the wrong way of looking at it.
“I see more clearly than I ever have — that not only do we need universal background checks; not only do we need red flag laws, that would stop somebody when they pose a danger to themselves or someone else; not only do we need to end the sale of assault weapons and weapons of war, that were designed for the battlefield and have no place in our communities,” he said. “We must as a country buy those weapons, take them off the streets altogether.”[More]Mine's not for sale.
President Trump said Thursday in response to mass shootings that the U.S. needs to build more mental institutions to keep sick, dangerous people off the streets and away from access to guns. [More]As long as it doesn't involve"due process second," yeah.
Lindsey Graham, Richard Blumenthal, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Kamala Harris, and the whole cast of characters pushing to strip gun rights without due process voted to release gun felons who were convicted after painstaking due process. [More]Is it really cognitive dissonance if it's intentional?
Governor Wolf will be joined by Charles Ramsey, Chair of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, who will use his expertise in a new role advising the executive branch on implementing these changes.

Over the past four decades, the B.E.A.S.T. has decimated America’s manufacturing capabilities while funding wars around the globe. It has dumbed down the nation’s populace, expanded governmental welfare programs, and riled a majority of the citizenry into a perpetually psychotic discontent via the financial acquisition and consolidation of the nation’s media outlets and entertainment venues. Through a steady barrage of hype and hypnotic electronic programming, the B.E.A.S.T. has persuaded Americans to abandon their vigilance to the founding principles which made America great originally. These principles included the affirmation of rights derived from natural law, honesty, morality, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity; as opposed to modern America’s identity politics, politically correct thought-control, equality of outcomes, fiscal irresponsibility, and unlimited government. [More]So what do I watch after The Bachelorette season finale?
A Los Angeles County sheriff’s detective has been sentenced to prison for raping a 15-year-old girl he met while investigating her report of being sexually assaulted. [More]Making sure he had all the details right isn't standard police work...?
Gun-rights activists might tolerate Trump’s very high ratio of talk to action. But they won’t tolerate him switching sides. [More]It doesn't look good, does it?
The concept of a “red flag” law — which permits the confiscation of lawfully owned weapons from a person because of what the person might do — violates both the presumption of innocence and the due process requirement of proof of criminal behavior before liberty can be infringed. [More]Why is that so hard for Republicans to understand?
BREAKING: Second Amendment Lawsuit Challenging California “Assault Weapon” Ban Filed in San Diego Federal Court [More]I'm glad to see it includes this key point, which I believe future complaints will need to put more emphasis on:
The firearms that the law in question prohibits are, in virtually every state of the Union, exactly the sorts of lawful weapons in common use that law-abiding people possess at home for lawful purposes; and exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty should such cause be necessary.After all, we are talking about"the security of a free State."

Undeniable betrayal is what will finally be the last straw for perhaps a critical mass of disillusioned gun-owning voters. It certainly takes the fire out of their bellies to do all the things necessary to “win” an election, particularly when it looks to be close, and 2020 is Donald Trump’s and an increasingly unprincipled GOP’s to blow. [More]How about if politicians sold to us as "staunch supporters of the Second Amendment" start acting like it by leading in educating the public on what the right to keep and bear arms is about, why it is of paramount importance and always relevant, and how those who want to swindle that right away from them are lying?
Walmart says it sells 2% of America's guns and supports 'common sense' gun control [More]Looks like Doug McMillon is channeling his inner Edward Stack.

A Pennsylvania Lyft driver was picking up a passenger on Friday when he was confronted with two guns in a robbery attempt [More]Fortunately, the driver approached this from a community perspective and didn't distress any community members.
Fla. man asks Walmart for gun that could ‘kill 200 people’ to make a point, he says ... He insists he wasn't serious and that he's a gun violence prevention activist. "I'm in a Walmart a few days after El Paso and I'm seeing a white nationalist looking guy purchase a gun and I got mad,” Attey said. [More]The antis, for the most part, really are obnoxious, hateful idiots.
Civil war is preferable to a Democratic president [More]I'm just hoping it doesn't ultimately prove preferable to a Republican one.
“I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.” [More]Don't tell Eleanor Holmes Norton.
We regret to inform you David Hogg is at it again, this time on AR-15s and cold pills [More]How original.
Generations of Supreme Court and academic opinion held that the amendment did not confer on individuals a right “to keep and bear Arms” but, rather, referred only to the privileges belonging to state militias. [More]First off, no one but an ignoramus would argue the right is conferred.
“No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give the Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under a general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any pursuit of an inordinate power either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.”And then he could produce the decision contradicting the 1856 Supreme Court, which noted that if they were recognized as citizens, blacks would be able "to keep and carry arms wherever they went."

...if political pressure forces Republicans to give ground on something big, this might be the best way to go. [More]And what will they "give ground on" next time?
I’ve long described myself as a “squish”...I know. And not just on "background checks."
It has been reported that President Reagan considered vetoing the FOPA due to the inclusion of the Hughes Amendment, but was convinced by the NRA to not do so, believing that the “Supreme Court would throw that measure out as unconstitutional,” thereby “correcting the defect in new law.” That challenge to the unlawful “machine gun ban” never came. And now, thirty-three years later, nothing could be more natural than Americans assuming that the federal government somehow has the right to ban whatever weapons it can successfully ban, even if it does so via legislative subterfuge. [More]Because we all know how gung-ho they've always been for taking point on that, right?
Drunk man in St. Louis County fired 115 rounds in his backyard, police say - He fired three different guns, an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a FNH semi-automatic handgun and a 12-gauge shotgun. [More]My bet is there are local gun owners and FFLs who know this @$$hole. Here's hoping they ostracize him.
“We march for peace, for everyone to make the city a better place,” says Tristan McCloud, a 7-year-old marcher. [More]What's it gonna take to unscrew this poor kid?
The Ferguson-Florissant School District on Wednesday announced a new comprehensive safety and security plan that includes students using see-through backpacks. [More]Hey, if it works there, it ought to work everywhere.

By complaining that he’s exposing those donors to public shaming, they’re effectively acknowledging that donating to Trump is shameful. Whoops. [More]If he turns out to be the Professor Harold Hill of politics and ends up fleecing us out of our rights, yeah. Nobody likes to be conned.
Philadelphia mayor calls for gun control after 6 officers shot [More]What he's calling for is total citizen disarmament since "the suspect" is "a 36-year-old felon with an extensive criminal history for weapons offenses."
