Aid and Comfort
Thanks to Lois Beckett, Alex Yablon, and especially Massad Ayoob for their help researching and fact-checking this piece. [More]Beckett and Yablon, especially, I can understand.
I'm still trying to figure out why someone from "our side" would want to help Vox when he's got to know they will use it to attack RKBA. It is an interesting admission on where they have to go and who they have to ask to keep from making fools of themselves, but I still gotta ask what happened to "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"?
I never understood "fact-checking" proposed infringements, either. I'd want them vulnerable to challenge, rather than helping the oppressor make them bulletproof. Case in point, thank goodness no one helpfully pointed out the fatal flaw in Nevada's Question 1.
Excuse me, but you won't shoot me that way, with the safety on.
"Oh, you're right. Thanks."

Deedle Dardle Doodle Deedle Dum
Garza can spend the money however she wants. She uses $150 of it to pay for her cellphone and another $100 or so to pay off her dog’s veterinarian bills. She spends the rest on her two grandsons now that she can afford to buy them birthday presents online and let them get the big bag of chips at the 7-Eleven. [More]It's not just a question of subsidizing the parasites at a subsistence level. While this "experimental" program is being funded by a nonprofit, "universal basic income" is already a reality with government-provided "entitlements," where the productive are forced at gunpoint to provide the immoral and lazy with a life of ease and plenty. The story says Garza is unemployed -- where's she getting the rest of her "income" from?
I could just sing:
“I think poverty is immoral, I think it is antiquated and I think it shouldn’t exist,” said Michael Tubbs, the city’s 29-year-old Democratic mayor.He would say that. He's the political beneficiary of headlines like "This California city’s 27-year-old mayor will give residents $500 free cash per month," like it's his to give. In fact, he's a generational career trough-feeder himself.
Poverty is not immoral. But those with demands on the property of others who claim the mantle of "poor" sure are.
Besides, Garza is hardly an example of poverty. A lifetime of wrong choices, yes. But truly poor people don't have cellphone and vet bills. And compare the price for a five-Lb.bag of rice compared to the same amount of 7-Eleven potato large chips. Such people don't know how to be poor.
And then such people vote to claim more of what is not theirs. No nation can endure and sustain such a burden forever.
And that's the plan.

Bragging About the Size of Dick's
I was reading comments at The Hill 's story on NRA's statement about Walmart's changes on guns and ammo, and saw a persistent defender of the profitability of Dick's Sporting Goods' anti-gun stance:
"Thriving"?
Yeah, 2019 first-quarter earnings did better than expected, but ultimately, the value of a company lies in its stock and in investor confidence, and the past five years tell a story of their own.
My bottom line: If you're a gun owner and you still shop at Dick's, you're rewarding rope-selling capitalists offering you to the mob.

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...

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"...

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."

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?
