Democrat Representative David Nangle was arrested by the FBI and IRS on a 28-count indictment that includes a wide variety of corruption charges. Some of those charges include, at this time, bank fraud, wire fraud, lying to a bank, and even filing false tax returns. [More]It's interesting to track how easily such frauds influence those we expect to be able to turn to for political guidance and show their true colors once they've got the power they wanted:
Kind'a makes you wonder about the reliability of those who make pretty damn good money to be influencers.

At least three more county boards in rural Minnesota voted Tuesday to approve resolutions declaring themselves “Second Amendment Dedicated” counties, a move that signals the strength of pro-gun sentiments outside of the Twin Cities metro area.

You Bet It's Personal
“On Saturday, a man with a large assault weapon with a large extended magazine came to my home. He stood outside my kitchen window for a couple of hours or so,” Levine said Monday on the Virginia House floor... [More]Well, that certainly conjures up a self-serving image. Was he on his property, next to it and looking through it, or was he on a public sidewalk, technically outside his kitchen window" but not with the menacing intrusiveness being implied?
Without being able to read minds, how does he know the man's intent was to coerce? Perhaps it was to defy. Perhaps it was an act of courtesy, to let him know that actions can have consequences for those who would send armed coercion teams to the homes of their countrymen.
And how come this account says it was a shotgun yet reports Levine saying:
"Are we going to say that it's OK to take loaded assault weapons with extended magazines and go and threaten every elected official?"So we won't even have Fudd guns if he has his way?
In any event, as desperately as he huffs and puffs, had a crime been committed, the police would have arrested the protestor. Herschel says he's filed a FOIA for their report. And the man answers my question about coercion -- looks like my instincts were right.
And ever the budding totalitarian, Levine leaves us with this:
Levine said that if what happened Saturday is not a crime, he will seek legislation next year to make it one. "If it's not illegal, I'm going to be damned sure by next year it is illegal," he said.Squeeze, baby, squeeze!
I guess those who demand obedience or else don't like the First Amendment any better than they do the Second.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Victory' Is
The president's lap around the Daytona International Speedway was a victory lap for gun-toting, Bible-clinging, flag-waving patriots. [More]Well, you got two out of three.
And it's throughout NASCAR.
A Right Delayed
It was apparent that the police had the wrong man, but Carpenter was in for his biggest shock yet. The Sherriff’s office told Carpenter he had to surrender his guns. [More]And now this citizen has to wait until Aug. 27 "to start the process of getting his firearms rights back"?
And the same people behind that at the Florida Agriculture Commission also have close ties to the Ban Assault Weapons Now petition effort?
Would this be good cause to press DOJ about 18 U.S. Code § 241, Conspiracy Against Rights charges against anti-gun Nicki Fried if she does not clear this up immediately as she could if she wanted to?
We could ask...

I was sent a news tip to a Gateway Pundit article dated Feb. 16. That, in turn, cited a Feb. 4 Fox 13 Tampa report as it's primary source.

Nothing If Not Adaptable
"I certainly have changed on that issue," he added. [More]Well, yeah. When a swindler sees his pitch is failing, he modifies it to what the rubes want to hear.
Being a communist who will ultimately demand totalitarian power, this just forced him to accelerate the schedule a bit. The lust for power and control is the only constant.

I'd Want to See a Cost/Benefit Trade-off Analysis
Kaitlin Bennett vows to return to Ohio University with an ‘army of gun owners for an open carry walk’[More]She can do it.
The question of "Should she?" may be a matter for debate, but ultimately she and her colleagues will make that decision. Some gun owners are concerned that the optics of the tactics and the potential for blowback will result in perceptional and political setbacks. The thing is, this is a new generation that sees the "old ways" have resulted in messes like Virginia. They are asserting they won't accept that-- and put themselves on the line to do it.
My only caution -- she is a dynamic personality and most of the promotional efforts seem centered on that. Since we are all flawed, I urge we set that aside and decide the proper course for what we want to achieve based on an objective analysis of the specific goals, pros, cons, and alternatives.
Make that a condition of standing with anyone on anything.

If You Like Your Death Panelist You Can Keep Your Death Panelist
“If You Show Up with Cancer and You’re 95 – We Should Say We Can’t Do Anything” – Bloomberg Explains How Healthcare will Bankrupt Us Unless We Deny Care to Elderly [More]What about 94? 84? I've known people much younger who were wrecks. Mike was pretty much beyond repair at 64. Another good friend burned his heart out at 53.
A local woman died a few years back at 111. She had many vital and active years ahead of her after 95 and was loved by many in the community. My own Mom is 95 and she is still alert and active, often walking up to two miles each day when the weather permits. My Dad passed at 92, and up to age 88 was still golfing his age (as compared to me golfing my weight).
The point being, arbitrary cutoff ages are as meaningless as automatically giving the vote to 16-year-olds on one hand because they'll vote for "gun control," and then denying them the right to own guns because the current "science" says their brains aren't fully developed yet.
I've always been careful (and consistent) to recommend parents provide development-appropriate gun training for their children, as opposed to age-appropriate.
Ecclesiastes 9:12 comes to mind. That this megalomaniacal usurper thinks he not only knows the time but can control it tells us all we need to know about him and the fanatics he attracts.

Batman Gun Symbol Puts Childish Blame on Objects Instead of Perpetrators

As I said back before it was pulled:
I’m going to reserve final judgment until I see it – in a few years when I can do so without paying extra.

A Great Disturbance in the Force
The widespread misconception that the reverse has been the case partly explains radicals’ unscrupulously optimistic assumption that the existing social order can be overthrown without detriment to the social fabric and human wellbeing. In short, peace and prosperity are assumed to be the natural order of things; it’s the capitalist system that disequilibrates society. The anarchist authors of Contradictionary: A Bestiary of Words in Revolt thus describe capitalism as “[o]ne of the most advanced forms of disorder,” a “disruption” of the “anarchic harmony” that would otherwise characterize our world. [More]So no mass graves this time because they'll do it right?
As for "treat[ing radicals] as independent human beings capable of rational thought and action," if there are any proven techniques to persuade them to be receptive and allow that, let's hear them. I see the author generalizes his own anecdotal experience, but by the time some undefined "we" try to engage in an unwelcome one-on-one with people who are not only unwilling to listen but who dismiss us a "Nazis," all indications are it'll be too late.
