It's Not Like You Can Say 'Happy Horiuchiu Day'
Doomsday Preppers
...the Army is telling the public not to be alarmed at the suspicious-looking activity ... The students will match wits with more seasoned soldiers, who will “act as realistic opposing forces and guerrilla freedom fighters,” [More]Why not be suspicious of a military that is training to kill freedom fighters?
I guess calling up these guys for some "security of a free State" exercises isn't on the table?

Something Must Be Done!
Not Even with HER Mouth
Mass Neutering
Time to Put the Masks Back on
Republicans start to sour on gun control laws after Trump's reversal [More]I didn't know ADD was contagious. Speaking of which:
"I'm going to look at everything we looked at — everything," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told reporters last week. "I'm a Second Amendment supporter. I'm a member of the NRA. So I'm not ... taking away people's guns.”I know some 18-to 21-year-olds who will be delighted to hear he's reversing his decision.
He is, isn't he?

It Goes Deeper Than That
Up for BIDS
The system knows only that someone was checked but has no idea if they even bought a gun, let alone what model or serial number. [More]That's been proposed in detail for years-- with the acknowledgment that it is still an infringement but it nonetheless significantly reduces controls and opportunities for abuse. It's been deliberately ignored by the rice bowl gun groups who know about it but don't want you to.
My position has been that I'm against actually doing it because it's still a prior restraint, but for using it to expose the lying hypocrisy of those who say they want background checks when what they really want is registration.
[Via Mack H]
The Bill of Needs
But in the end, all these arguments boil down to one thing -- what gun control advocates think Americans “need.” [More]Having the power to decide that is half the equation.

The Virtual Cattle Chute
In randomized, controlled, peer-reviewed research I’ve conducted with thousands of people, I’ve shown repeatedly that when people are undecided, I can shift their opinions on just about any topic just by changing how I filter and order the information I show them. I’ve also shown that when, in multiple searches, I show people more and more information that favors one candidate, I can shift opinions even farther. Even more disturbing, I can do these things in ways that are completely invisible to people and in ways that don’t leave paper trails for authorities to trace. [More]They'll never know until it's too late, if ever.

Life Imitates Satire
In a press release earlier this week, Portland police chief Danielle Outlaw (her actual name), appearing somber and exhausted, said she just wishes there were some kind of group with the firepower and authority to fight back against Antifa. [More]This reminds me of a meme I just saw.

We're the Only Ones Producing Enough
About Those First 13 Words...
A Downside to Everything
The Land of Hate
Channeling 'Big Weasel'
He was paid to keep kids out of gangs. Now, he's charged in grisly MS-13 killings [More]Oh, Hector...
Life By the Bottomless Well
They will receive keys to one of 72 new apartments, complete with a fitness center, in the heart of trendy Koreatown, built at a projected cost of $690,692 for each unit, according to the city controller's office. Two additional projects in the pre-approval phase are expected to top $700,000 per unit in total costs. [More]Outrageous! No wonder there's no money for ASL interpreters for illegals! They are among "the lucky ones" getting new digs, aren't they? Because to exclude them would be racist!
Oh, and watch your step.
The Bright Side of ADD
The president claimed he was going to push through new gun laws in the aftermath of two horrific mass shootings, but White House officials admit he has already lost interest. [More]Possibly.
And possibly a realization is finally sinking in.
Tone Deaf, Isn't She?
Put simply, Wayne is vital to our cause. [More]Do they really think this will start those donations flowing in again, or is this really just another part of hanging on for dear life?

They Don't Call It 'Fake News' for Nothing
NBC Dismisses Blaming the Shooter as Just a Talking Point of ‘Gun Control Opponents’ [More]Don't these people have a truck to blow up or something?
Physician, Heal Thyself
Family physicians group urges passage of gun violence prevention bills [More]What's most remarkable is the utter absence of any scientific rationale to make their case.
Look at each paragraph. They appeal to emotion. They talk manipulated popularity. They express opinion. They capitalize on misdirected professional authority.
They do everything but demonstrate they know what the hell they're talking about, which makes their diagnosis and prescription tantamount to malpractice.
It's past time we started calling these self-important frauds what they are: Gunquacks.
Only In America
...a deaf detainee who communicates in American Sign Language said he has not been provided an interpreter. [More]Oh, the humanity!
What, no subsidized comfort animals?
Can anyone doubt this is ultimately the work of enemies bent on destroying the Republic for their own ends?
‘Republicans’ Like Scaramucci Will Drive Gun Owners Out of Party
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.

Republicans Need to Be Reminded Where Surrendering on Guns Leads
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.
Hell Hath No Fury
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.

What Have We Got to Lose by Trying?
New California Study Shows 'Red Flag' Laws May Help Stop Mass Shootings Across the Country [More]Then again, they may not.

Survey SAYS!
Poll: Americans, Including Republicans And Gun Owners, Broadly Support Red Flag Laws [More]Who better to ask misleading questions of than ignoramuses and Fudds?
This is another reason I am so disgusted with Republican turncoats who, rather than use their positions of influence to explain the swindle to their constituents, take the easy way out and cave. That, in turn, is an indictment of those giving A-ratings to surface supporters who don't actually grok what the right is about themselves.

Smokin' in the Boy's Room
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...

Soldier who drove armored vehicle from Fort Pickett to Richmond is found not guilty by reason of insanity... [More]If they give him a less than honorable discharge, can he sue them under ADA?

Hoist on His Own Petard
“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?

Today's Low-Hanging Fruit Report
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"?
So if they turn out to be really dangerous, are they going to keep them or just their guns?
[Via bondmen]
The Definition of Insanity
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.
Those whose bidding they don't know they're doing are counting on that.
[Via bondmen]
Teach Your Children Well
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.
[Via bondmen]
Trial Run
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...
The Answer is 'Nothing'

Curious, how the LGBQT "leaders" loudest in their hostility to Christianity seem to go along with that. It's also curious how "refugees" from countries that throw such people off roofs are desperate to elbow their way into this nation of haters.
I guess they don't call 'em "useful idiots" for nothing.
Are Those Anything Like 'Deplorables'?
CHINESE SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE PREVENTS 2.5 MILLION “DISCREDITED ENTITIES” FROM BUYING PLANE TICKETS [More]Did'ja hear the one about the guy in this country who was put on the "terror list" for using a giant, inflatable pink pig for political protests?
As we've seen with our own "social credit scores," which ensure we bitter clingers aren't welcome on social media sites, the demand to bar all such discredited entities from gun ownership is strong.

Sacré Bleu!
French waiter shot dead for making sandwich too slowly, witnesses say [More]Impossible!
Y'know, there is one curious thing I found on the restaurant's Facebook page, but since nothing is mentioned in the"news" account it must not be relevant:
Tripped Right Out of the Starting Gate
President Trump is accused on a minute-by-minute basis of being a tyrant, but his accusers remain free. Nothing has been taken from them, not their property nor their personal liberty. [More]Demonstrably not true.
The Weasel Whisperer
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.

Gotta watch out for those "double-barrel magazine extended clips"!

We're the Only Ones Gangsta Enough
We Could Tell You But Then We'd Have to Kill You
An advisor on our attempts to wrest information from the government on its part in "Gunwalker" and other corrupt ventures sent a 2003 District Court opinion just because it's interesting. That it is, fascinating, actually, and while not directly relevant to our inquiries, it's instructive as to how the government operates when it wants to break the law but doesn't want to get caught.

Anybody see a "comments" section to respond?
He admits he knows nothing about guns and demonstrates he knows nothing about the Second Amendment, yet presumes authority over what's necessary for the security of a free State.
According to these virtue-oozing subversives, the answer lies in cultural terraforming. Check out the "Catholic Charities" entry on pg. 26 of James Simpson's essential "Red-Green Axis."
Any "single issuers" ready to take the challenge? How about you "saviors"?
Whether useful idiots like this sanctimonious ignoramus are in on the plan or not, those directing it from high places certainly know what it is they're serving.

“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.

No Hypocrisy There
Mark of the B.E.A.S.T.
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.

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."

Trump’s Dig at Chris Cuomo Shows Arbitrary Danger of ‘Red Flag Laws’
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?
