Guns surpass immigration as biggest non-impeachment issue [More]
Well, it's not like the two have anything to do with each other.

Speaking of Totally Unrelated Issues...
Well, it's not like the two have anything to do with each other.
We're the Only Ones Not Responsive Enough
Shauna Medeiro called 911 at around 3:30 p.m. on March 29 and told a 911 operator, "He’s [Nathan Meier] not responding. The car is still running, it looks like he put it in park. His eyes are open, totally glassed over, he’s not responsive at all." [More]And all-too evidently, that doesn't just apply to the drunk.

Just to be Consistent...
Here’s the bottom line: If bump stocks can be defined as “machine guns” because they supposedly cause a semi-automatic to fire automatically, then, using the same line of reasoning, semi-automatics are machine guns too. [More]

We're the Only Ones Intimidating Enough
A veteran Baltimore Police sergeant criminally charged with forcibly arresting a bystander without justification in May has now been indicted on 32 additional counts of false imprisonment, assault and misconduct in office based on a “pattern and practice of harassment and intimidation”... [More]He's a veteran and sergeant with 24 years on the force, he's comfortable presuming to be able to get away with this with impunity and we're supposed to buy that he "ignored his training as a police officer"?
In Baltimore?
Why would it be unreasonable to assume any contact with an "Only One" there to be a life-threatening encounter with an armed thug, and to react accordingly?
UPDATE: I guess he's not a threat to the community like you or I would be if we did that to people.

That's Entertainment!
The Blood members shouted: "You all are running around here playing like you’re the real police. You all want to put your hands on these little kids. We don’t give a f— about your Masjid. F— your Masjid." [More]
Remind me to add popcorn to the shopping list.
I'm Sure There's a Perfectly Innocent Explanation
Surveillance footage taken during first Epstein suicide attempt missing [More]
Well if you people stopped disrespecting authorities maybe they wouldn't be so needlessly distracted that they could focus more completely or something. Case in point: What kind of cop-basher wouldn't take the word of a multiple homicidal drug-running "Only One" cellmate?
Brazilians Waxing
The Associated Press reports that Brazilians are now flocking to the U.S. border, with many claiming asylum. [More]
That claim is against you and me and is predicated on us owing it to them and to anyone else who shows up ready to break our laws if that's what it takes.
In Appreciation
We appreciate the individuals who alerted the college to these concerns. [More]
So you appreciate brainwashed young communist cowards who try to dupe state enforcers into SWATing and killing students with traditional American values, Dean Roz?
Is a police investigation and prosecution planned?

Modest Proposals
The party’s immigration platform 100 Medidas Para La España Viva (“One Hundred Proposals For the Living Spain”) is something Trumpsters can appreciate: #14: “Deportation of illegal immigrants to their countries of origin.” #15: “Deportation of criminal legal immigrants.” #17: “[E]very immigrant who has entered Spain illegally will be prohibited for life from legalizing his situation or receiving any type of government help.” #26: “Fortify our borders. Build an impassable wall in Ceuta and Melilla (Spanish enclaves on the African coast).” #31: “Publication of nationality and origin date in crime statistics.” [More]Add a right to keep and bear arms and you've got yourself a fan.

We're the Only Ones Relentless Enough
Through Relentless Pursuit, we pledge to hold accountable the trigger-pullers, firearm traffickers, violent criminals and those who supply them the guns to terrorize our communities. ATF will aggressively utilize every available tool, including our crime gun enforcement teams, National Integrated Ballistic Information Network and firearms tracing to identify, investigate and support the prosecution of the most violent firearm offenders.” [More]
And if we happen to sweep up some who aren't so violent, well, you can't make an omelet...
Amazing how the right rhetoric gets the law-and-order crowd salivating for a Constitutionally-unrestrained police state...

An Idea Whose Time Has Come
We're the Only Ones Disrespected Enough
Barr: Rising disrespect for cops not only wrong, it puts us in danger [More]
Coming from the top cop, and one with problematic respect for "the supreme Law of the Land" on his own, that sounds like a threat.
Maybe if the emphasis were on rights enforcement rather than law enforcement...

Not the Worst Thing
“The worst thing for me would be if somebody wound up in jail or a confrontation [with police] because they misunderstood a symbolic gesture [by the Board of Supervisors],” Ingle said. [More]"Well, I guess that's it then," Captain Parker replied, ordering his men to surrender their arms after being issued a lawful order. "We made our symbolic gesture, men."
There are worse things.

New and Improved!
Our friends at American Gun Owners Alliance have created a useful interactive map that drives you right down to the sections and text of the laws, as well as links to other state gun laws.State National Firearms Act (NFA) Weapons Regulations Map [More]
Founder Dave Dalton also tells me they're still working on Puerto Rico, which has big changes coming in January. For now, the only "official" copy is in Spanish, and he's been informed there probably won't be an authorized English translation until Spring.
Dave also tells me they "have started the process to become a 501(c)(4), we didn't raise as much as we had hoped," to which I almost sent him back a link to Gomer.
Who will help me plant the wheat?
As I said when I introduced AMGOA to AmmoLand readers:
If, after seeing what AMGOA offers – and what it can offer if allowed to grow – you agree that you get value from the efforts, then simply do the right thing. Join and help. But that’s not all. Please spread the word. If you’re on it, use social media. Tell your gun-owning friends. Tell your gun club. Tell the gun shops and ranges you patronize. If you belong to a state or national group, ask them to start a mutually beneficial relationship with AMGOA.My hope is that regulars here will see the value and do these simple and warranted things.
But Reeling in Style

Somehow, 'Horrendous' Doesn't Quite Sound Strong Enough
It is horrendous that our government would cover up the murders of Americans by Mexican cartels, merely to help politicians get reelected and hide their efforts to destroy our gun industry through Fast and Furious. [More]
Tell me about it.
As for the Trump administration, who do you think is withholding information despite opportunistic promises to the contrary?

We're the Only Ones Internalizing Enough
The city won't say what the investigation is about, but the department has a storied history of misusing internal affairs to retaliate against officers who higher-ups didn't like. [More]
I guess anything's possible.

Are Cuomo and the legislature prepared to face the consequences when even the volitional act of drinking alcohol, and presumably taking drugs as well, vitiates the capacity to be responsible for choices, like getting shit-faced and then having sex? [More]

Do the Math
Pay close attention to this insanity. It's not just about rewarding law-breakers with driving privileges. Our country's election integrity is under siege by foreign influence. Mass migration, legal and illegal, is bringing in millions of potential new voters who support gun control, socialized medicine, expanded welfare, free speech restrictions and resistance to immigration enforcement. Do the political math... [More]

Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo resigned his post days after he admitted to creating a fake Twitter account to taunt one of his critics. [More]
That's a shame -- he seemed so suited for the job.
O, Canada
Victims of a mass shooting in Toronto have launched a class action lawsuit against gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson, alleging the company failed to implement key safety features in its weapons that could have prevented the 2018 attack. [More]
So the psycho son of Pakistani immigrants steals a gun from a dealer that does not incorporate non-existent technology and the solution is to go after the manufacturer?
This is an act of official extortion against a U.S. firm that has abided by all mutually-agreed upon export/import terms. If this is allowed to go forward, it will make all legal gun sales to Canadian citizens cost-prohibitive. The proper response to that would be to cease all arms sales to the Canadian government and then start imposing other sanctions.

We're the Only Ones Goulish Enough
A charge of felony burglary was filed Tuesday, Dec. 17 against former Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Janelle Gericke who prosecutors say broke into or tried to break into homes of grieving families, including that of a beloved Lake Mills firefighter, and the home of a co-worker who was out of town.

We're the Only Ones Influential Enough
The court register from 48th District Court shows only one charge for Lake Angelus Police Chief Mike Farley, operating under the influence. Possessing a gun while under the influence is a misdemeanor that was not charged in the case. [More]It's not like it's a problem -- unless you're not an "Only One."

But there is a darker side to this. Many Evergreen State gun owners have not signed, even after months of complaining about the new mandates imposed by gun control Initiative 1639, passed last year by about 60 percent of those casting ballots.

"During the search of the pawnshop, law enforcement recovered six rifles (including three AR-15-style assault rifles), three handguns and one shotgun," officials said. Law enforcement also said they found 400 rounds of ammunition, including hollow-point bullets, in A-Hady's home and said he is a convicted felon, who is not legally permitted to own firearms.

We're the Only Ones Aggressive Enough
Instead, Assistant State Attorney Lauren Godden said, the evidence will show Lodge was unarmed, neighbors who watched the events unfold did not see Lodge approach or act aggressively to their 63-year-old neighbor and instead say it was the former deputy who was the aggressor. [More]
She had me at "fired a warning shot into the air."
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.
2Nd Amendment Resolutions by dcodrea on Scribd
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.
