We're the Only Ones Unknown Enough

The on-duty San Joaquin County deputy was driving on northbound I-5 near Charter Way, when for unknown reasons, he rear-ended a Ford sedan around 10:30 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol’s Stockton office. [More]
By withholding his name, it appears reasons aren't the only thing unknown, at least by the public.

Tazewell Resolutions


I was able to find the agenda announcing this, but the documents themselves had not yet been posted on the Tazewell Board of Supervisors website and I could not find them anywhere else.  So I called them and they sent it to me.


UPDATE:  After looking this over I do have a couple concerns that need to be voiced. I would express the "right to regulate arms" as "power to regulate the Militia," and the Second Amendment does not "grant" anything. Overall, they deserve to be congratulated for their leadership, but these points are more than mere semantics and need to be considered going forward.

Republicans Rolling Over on Farm ‘Amnesty’ Helping Advance Anti-Gun Agenda


I've posted a challenge on my War on Guns blog that has gone deliberately ignored and unanswered by national and state gun groups and their apologists for years. They know they can't address it without exposing their deliberate indifference as against their members' interests, and I say that here daring them to offer a responsive rebuttal. [More]
Look at what happened to once-Republican California and the rest of the country after Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty, and what increasing Democrat majorities are doing to guns as state demographics change.

So Purple Ink on Fingers Wasn't the Answer?


Overnight it’s being reported that Iran is now sending tanks into Iraq to stop protests from Iraqis against the Iran regime. [More]

I'm wondering which one of my son's lives would be worth sacrificing to stop it.

Besides, think of the refugee opportunities -- I was just thinking the other day how virtuous I could feel seeing more burqas at Sam's Club.

Where Are Virginia’s Top Elected Officials on the “Gun Sanctuary” Movement? [More] 

There's nothing unexpected to comment on until we get to "A+ rated" Rob Wittman who tweets "NO law-abiding American should be denied their constitutional rights without reason or due process" and doesn't seem to grasp that's exactly what those mandatory "background check" prior restraints he would impose under force of arms do. And what's the "reason"?

Crocodile Tears


As a career law enforcement officer, we are not calling Acevedo’s grief and sadness over the death of 10 people at Santa Fe High School and Sgt. Brewster into question.  [More]

Then I will.  These gun-grabbing bastards have opportunistic blood-dancing refined to an ... uh... Art.

Any "Only One" who wants to disarm his countrymen is a contemptible, genocide-enabling domestic enemy and liar, and I put no despicable act of force, fraud, or perversion beyond him. It's tyrant enablers and wannabes like Acevedo who will be responsible for enough blood to swim and drown in if they mandate to men who would be free no other options but surrender or die.

A 'Grassroots' Organization


A gun safety group seeking a change of state law in Ohio to require background checks on virtually all guns sales said Friday that it now plans a 2021 ballot issue. Ohioans for Gun Safety was cleared in July to begin collecting signatures ... [More]
How were they cleared? Who are these guys?

They claim to be "a grassroots organization."

Pretty slick website. Why register by proxy?

And how are these "grassroots" activists going to get all those signatures if, after years, they only have about 6,000 Facebook followers and 260 Twitter followers? Cyber-pals ain't exactly boots on the ground.

They're registered with the state of Ohio through an agent who also represents other lefty groups.

But at this point, neither 990 Finder nor  Guidestar has any nonprofit tax filings to share, although the first search hit on the latter is for "Everytown."

I looked into these people two years ago, and they were just as shadowy then. And some years before that I warned about a centrally-directed and financed Bloomberg plot to quietly establish such "grassroots organizations" throughout the land.

Looks and feels like Astroturf to me. Now the question is will anyone use this information to let Ohioans know they are being used by out-of-state moneyed interests hiding who they are from them and who want to swindle them out of their rights?

Cognitive Dissonance: It's the Law


The Second item that they can check states that the person in question lacks mental capacity adequately to contract ... The form also requires that a “mental health professional” signs off that the person in question “has adequate mental capacity voluntarily to execute this document.” [More]
So I'm incompetent to execute a permanently binding contract and to prove it I have been certified competent?

I'm going to need Norman to help me understand this one:


A Lesson to be Learned

If Drudge thought he was going to gain new readers by pivoting to the Left while dissing Conservatives he got what he wanted — except his loyal readers are the ones who left. In droves. [More]
There are other options... 

I've also pretty much had it with Faux News.

"Moderate" Republicans take note. If I want a Democrat I'll go to a Democrat, not some gutless and/or idiotic weasel who thinks trying to give a little something to everybody is the way to go.

And not some outright domestic enemies with an "R" after their names.

That's What Happens When Environmentalcases Improvise


Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg has apologized for saying politicians should be put "against the wall" during a speech. [More]
But she didn't mean it that way. Kind'a like Snuffy. (By the way, did Calypso Louie's security team have guns?)

Unless the UN finds wealth transfer opponents guilty of postericide, of course, in which case, "justice" must be done.

And triggering articles by patriarchal haters like this demand justice!

Life imitates art.

Up against the wall, motherf***er: Opposite Day "progressive" environmentalism in action. I wonder how many of those lunatic commies have ended up in corporate mass-produced disposable diapers.

Sanctuary Thoughts

In no particular order:
It went smooth as silk.10-15 proponents spoke. No opposition at all. Even the Democrats on the board spoke in support of 2A. There was a lot of discussion re: the governors potential punishment of 2A Sanctuary Counties. The Wise BOS said they would put their money where their mouth was, as necessary. Surprisingly, VCDL was not featured, mentioned or even noted at the meeting. Jan 20 in Richmond was mentioned as an important event but not with any affiliations. Attendance estimated by me at 400-500 with many people outside of the meeting room.
