Much Ado about What, Exactly?


GOA Praises Introduction of Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act [More]

One question: Does it stand a chance in hell without Congress significantly changing?

Actually, two questions, this one prompted by the bill title: Why do just about every gun group and "friendly" politician continue to avoid the obvious?

I Have to Be Honest

“I have to be honest: I don’t have any idea why it’s a partisan issue nationally. [More]
Yeah, it's a mystery to me. too.  Dolt.

Considering the background of Wilson, the governor and most of the Utah legislature, and considering the views of the church on "refugees," it seems fair to ask if they are using the powers of their office to impose a religious agenda here.

Who Will Guard Against ‘Guardians' When Trump Admin Enforces More Gun Laws?


NSSF, NRA and supposedly “pro-gun” Republicans are actually undermining one of the key tenets for refuting disarmament laws by advancing the wrongheaded premise that “good gun control,” works, and is a legitimate and effective response. So, the kind they approve of is fine, but if Gabby Giffords and Shannon Watts want it, it’s time for another “sky is falling” fundraising email? [More]
They’re encouraging everybody to not only think that “gun control” works but to think this is about “crime control,” not citizen control.

That didn't occur to them when they were applying to schools? It seems a bit like complaining about the meal after it's been eaten and the check has been presented.

Abortion, tax policy, deregulation, gun rights, judicial activism … all are critical to maintaining the United States as the type of place where the most people can have the highest quality of life.

Action/Reaction

Takeaway from #LondonBridge incident: If law-abiding Londoners could carry firearms legally, it probably wouldn't have happened. Amazing how bold the terrorists are when they know their victims will be unarmed. [More]
The near-universal pile-on was predictable. The sheltered, self-proclaimed superior intellects engaging in it with short-term statistics seem oblivious to Europe being genocidal killing fields twice within the life spans of people still with us. Those who do recall apparently believe that will never be repeated.

‘Prefiled’ VA Anti-Paramilitary Edict Reaffirms Tyrants Fear Armed Citizens




That’s why they are so fixated on eviscerating the Second Amendment, because they know that just as arms in moral hands can deter, repel and overcome individual attackers, so too does that work on a societal scale. [More]

Giving the Business


A new law, enacted by the Oklahoma Legislature this year with Paycom’s guidance, allows businesses to petition the court for a victim’s protective order much like one that a woman might obtain against a former boyfriend. A judge can order a potentially dangerous person to stay away from a business or its employees, which companies couldn’t do before. [More]

I'm assuming it also means he can order their guns taken, but finding the actual statute has proven to be a bit of an unexpected scavenger hunt. The Oklahoma Legislature website is fairly difficult to navigate and makes you download files, ILA came up empty and the 2A people I contacted in OK don't seem to know anything about it. I then FB messaged the reporter:

I'm trying to find that new law and it's surprisingly difficult, possibly because I'm not familiar with Oklahoma law. I'm assuming it's part of Title 22-- Do you have a statute number? Do you know what the enacted bill was and who it's sponsors were?

If he replies, I'll update this. In the meantime, anybody with actual knowledge, please weigh in.

[Via Bluesgal]

UPDATE: https://www.legiscan.com/OK/text/SB715/id/2026277 It doesn't specifically mention guns but I believe that probably goes without saying with protective orders. It was sponsored by Republicans: Sen. Lonnie Paxton and Rep. Chris Kannady. Thanks, Mack!

The Question of Our Time


Is it OK to be white?

Because saying that it is causes convulsions, mostly among white virtue-oozers, and can get you booted off social media for violating "community standards."

Heck, you can't even make the hand sign anymore. Not without expecting an insane tantrum.

Is it a matter of picking a different adjective, like "acceptable"? "Tolerable"?

I'd like to ask every politician running for office, from all parties, if it's OK to be white and insist on an unequivocal  "yes" or "no" answer without any qualifying weasel-words. I doubt any would.

Alternatively, is it NOT OK to be white?

I ask because I find, through no fault, action or decision of my own, standing in our changing society for "ourselves and our Posterity" depends upon the answer.

As the Culture Terraforms

Not enough babies are being born to replace the US population as birth rate plunges to 30-year low [More
This presupposes that population increases are desirable and sustainable. It's kind of like asking "warmists" what the right temperature should be. Left unsaid are factors like manipulated global trade affecting needed jobs, the rise of AI and the fact that increasing swaths are not only non-productive but actually a drain -- by design.

So how will "we" keep the "Social Security" Ponzi scheme from collapsing, at least until the string-pulling swindlers are either gone or have their getaways secured?

No problem, just open the gates and bring in the foreigners! Hey, at least out of all that they managed to bring in one Aussie, even if he is acting like he just downed a couple Fosters. It's all the cheering Somalis at 00:48 who fill me with confidence that the Founders' intent is in good hands!
