Honor the Request
Walmart ends all handgun ammunition sales and asks customers not to carry guns into stores ... [More]Don't worry, I won't.
That's actually a misleading headline, though. It's open carry being discouraged ("asked") and they're also discontinuing "ammunition commonly used in assault-style weapons." They also won't sell handguns in Alaska.
Concealed carry is still being "allowed," since there's no practical way to enforce it without TSA rules. That and the Fudds will still be able to get deals during wabbit season for their shotguns, and sniper assassins will still be able to feed their powerful, scoped "deer" rifles...

A Token 'Republican'
MSNBC 'Republican': Play 'Dirty Pool' with NRA Board Members, 'Go After Their Businesses' ... the only way to get congressmen to come around on gun control will be when a "critical mass" has been personally affected by mass shootings. She noted that, so far, "we have seen [only] one congressman get there." [More]This evil fool had better hope we never reach critical mass.

Except the "failed background check" kind of takes the wind out of those sails.
Still, the requisite "AR-style rifle" helps. And leave it to MSN to assure us the semi-auto "sprayed bullets."

How Do You Say 'Commonsense Gun Safety Laws' in Spanish?
Media Exploiting Odessa Shooting Before Facts Known
The killers are NEVER believers in the Constitution because that ideology requires the commitment to champion the rights of the individual. Randomly executing strangers with no delegated authority and without due process is a rejection of all of that, and the work of a bloody-handed collectivist. [More]The killers have one thing in common: They're all collectivists, regardless of what the say they espouse. FYI, I wrote and submitted this on Sunday morning, before anything more was known.

Ask a Stupid Question
It’s funny that the party making so much noise about equality is adamantly opposed to equalizers. How is a woman to defend herself from a guy coming at her with a sledgehammer if not by exercising her Second Amendment rights? [More]With her bodyguards, of course.
[Via Michael G]
It's a Big Club and You're In It
I'm proposing that we campaign to reduce gun violence, and to meet our constitutional duty, by requiring that every member of the militia — which, of course, we'll redefine to eliminate the obvious sexism and make it all adults — must own at least one long gun, one handgun, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition for each, or pay an annual $1,000 tax for failing to do so. [More]Well, the Founders did put in a militia duty exemption for those "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms"...
I do have to wrestle with the coercive nature of that and wonder if things couldn't be worked out more along the lines of if you don't help, you don't get helped.

Guns Politics and Freedom Episode 52
Paul Valone and I talk about "Why Universal Background Checks = Universal Gun Registration."
How to Win Friends and Influence People
Specifically, the brief asserts that…, wait for it…, wait for it…, this is a quote…: “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.’” [More]Nice court you got here. Shame if something ... happened to it.

Gunkapo Bob
Bob Mokos is a passionate gun owner who on the surface would seem like a card-carrying National Rifle Association member...But Mokos has grown so disillusioned with the NRA over the years that he has joined forces with a rival organization - the gun control group founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. [More]Oh, bull. If liking guns was the criterion, we'd have no better pal than Lon Horiuchi.
This useful idiot was never "one of us," not ideologically. He's a Lord Haw-haw, a Tokyo Rose, an Axis Sally, except he's more absurd than those, making him more like a Howard W. Campbell, Jr. He's an exploitable face for well-financed Astro-Turfers, whose purpose is to divide and conquer by redefining forbidden infringements as "commonsense" and "reasonable." Where have we seen that before.
If I were an FFL and he came into my store, I'd tell him to get the hell out.

Might her choices have more to do with her lot in life than anything else?
When they say women are endangered by a gun in the home, these are the kinds of homes that skew the statistics for everyone. In this case, she lucked out.
'Doing Something'
“I have participated in gun buyback initiatives in the past, and I don’t believe this proposed plan is an effective use of the department’s resources,” McManus said. [More]Me, I'm waiting for a gun to "go off" when they encourage someone who doesn't know the first thing about rules of gun safety to handle and transport one.
[Via Curly Howard]
The Greater Danger
That is why I make the controversial claim that today, the "woke" hard-left is more dangerous to civil liberties than the right. To be sure there are hard right extremists who would use — and have used — violence to silence those with whom they disagree. They are indeed dangerous. But they have far less influence on our future leaders than their counterparts on the hard-left. They are not teaching our college age children and grandchildren. They are marginalized academically, politically and in the media. The opposite is true of hard-left Stalinists. [More]As long as the civil war stays cold, true. For now.

BIDS Can Prove ‘Universal Background Checks’ are Really about Registration
That said, here’s where BIDS could prove a very useful tool to expose the antis and what they’re really after: If the “commonsense gun safety law groups” truly only want background checks, why would they not promote a system like BIDS, which creates none of the potential registration dangers that create such strong gun owner opposition?

Trump All Over Map on Guns as NRA Fights Self-Started Fires
Ultimately, it will be game over anyway unless we do one other thing, and pronto: Recognize that the Founders were pretty smart chess players themselves, and when they recognized the importance – the necessity – of a well regulated militia for the security of a free State, they knew what they were talking about.

How Soon Can the Militia Apply?
Super Duty LE is available to credentialed law enforcement officers only. [More]Why? Unless it involves state bans, there's no law requiring this, and that's not the case here.
This is a problem with email ads -- people get them and you never know who's going to spot an issue that raises questions for them. In this case, a longtime WarOnGuns correspondent brought this to my attention, and I presume his concerns will not be unique among visitors here.
I've seen the company's answer, about supporting LE and giving an affordable price point to those who have to buy their own "patrol rifles." Admittedly, it's not unheard of for a company to have a special loyalty niche appeal as part of its marketing strategy.
Then, on the other hand, we have some ornery types, like me, who can think of all kinds of concerns.
I'll hold off on saying more because I also have seen the claim that "the same configuration, as well as a much wider range of options will be available to everyone once this takes off." How soon that happens and how "uncredentialed" prices compare will tell us more.

Like a Gut Nachbar
A red flag law allows you to officially snitch on your neighbors, relatives or friends, and have them detained without bringing real charges. You can do it out of fear, or just suspicion that people you know may be "up to something" without proof. The cops can break in, confiscate property (arms), and the person you rat out ends up with giant legal bills, court dates, a permanent blot that can't be removed -- and they didn't actually do anything -- you just used your expanded legal "right" to red flag the person.

As long as Northam has the power to stack the deck and Virginia taxpayers are willing to forget their state motto and be fleeced to promulgate rabble-rousing subversives like the Council of Women, she did nothing that should not be First Amendment-protected.
