Synchronicity
President Trump’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has revised its guidance of critical infrastructure to include the firearms industry as part of the Essential Critical Infrastructure. This revision comes shortly after Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners of California (GOC) sent a letter to the administration urging inclusion of the firearms industry. [More]

The president doesn’t shy away from issuing executive actions on guns when they serve his purposes and he is depending on gun owners to be reelected in November. It would be more than appropriate if he ordered Homeland Security to recognize the need of the people to lawfully obtain guns during national emergencies to the point that a disruption in supply “would have a debilitating effect on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
Do it, Mr. President.
Unless it's all been just words and the Second Amendment is now officially deemed “non-essential.”

Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans refuses to take responsibility for her decision not to call off Mardi Gras over concerns of the Wuhan coronavirus.

Trump Pills
Episode 871 Scott Adams: It's Time to Stop Using an Obama Afghanistan Strategy Against a Virus [Watch]I stipulate I'm absolutely not qualified to weigh in with an informed opinion on the science, but this looks like something to ask those who may be. $20 and "a bit of diarrhea" or "drown in your own lung juice"? Centralized planning by those whose incompetence and power obsessions got us into this mess, or take matters into our own hands?
It does seem worth asking your doctor what he'd do if things got up close and personal.
One other thing Adams mentions briefly toward the end is pressure from the people as a factor in government deciding to reopen businesses, and that makes me wonder if we will start to see civil disobedience. I know many are desperate. As I mentioned in an earlier post, younger feral son Qusay is a chef at a local restaurant (who is still working thanks to take-out and catering orders while most of the staff has been "furloughed") and he told us one of their food suppliers had a "friends and family" sale to unload inventory that's not moving and get some cash coming in, and to mitigate its losses.
True, cities can retaliate against individual businesses by pulling their licenses, but if a critical mass of the tax base joined forces and had a reopening "strike," what are they gonna do? Send the cops in to round up them and their customers?
When the choice is between dying and trying, what have people got to lose?

After Coronavirus, California Has a Major Disarmament Edict Waiting in the Wings
No, the object here is to ban the guns still on the list. Requiring one mark instead of two is not “‘calling [the gunmakers’] bluff’ and removing their excuse to ‘boycott the law.’” It’s dictating to supposed free citizens there are even more “in common use at the time” firearms that Democrat tyrants intend to deny them, first in California and then to any other state where the citizens are suicidally ignorant enough to vote in swindlers intent on gutting their birthrights. [More]But no one's talking about taking your guns? The only arguments these domestic enemies have are lies.

Mark's going to be working on getting that screen to take Skype video inputs so you can see the guests conversing instead of just our still pictures.
Talking a Good Game
2A Gaming: Spreading Gun Rights Message via Video Games [More]I have to admit upfront the gaming phenomenon is something I have never grokked. When I was in college a bar had Pong and I remember playing PacMan and Asteroids, and Snakes on an old Windows machine. The wife enjoys Solitaire in her spare time, and back when I had some, I enjoyed a miniature golf game. Oh, I also remember playing Duck Hunt for a few minutes at a relative's house.
By the time the X-Box/Play Station stuff with multi-function controllers came out, I was too wrapped up in demanding jobs to give them a moment's thought, and my limited free time was eaten up doing Dad things with the family and around the house and yard. Anything in excess of that and it was a cigar and a couple fingers of the good stuff on the porch for me to decompress.
Feral sons Uday and Qusay, on the other hand, grew up with it all and are quite adept, but I would watch them for a few minutes and decide it was all above, if not my pay grade, any incentive to spend the time to learn.
So with my near-total ignorance stipulated, let me venture an opinion: My impression of gamers is they had better be given top-quality graphics, compelling character and scenarios, and top-notch competition, and anything less will be rejected and ruthlessly ridiculed. So if they're going to do it, do it right and spend the needed money to employ "top men."
Do it on the cheap or make the primary purpose to ham-handedly preach and you may as well not do it at all.
It's not a bad idea, but its success will all be in the execution. I hope you guys do it right. Good luck.

Clemson University officials, concerned about the “optics” of ignoring a South Carolina law requiring public colleges to teach the U.S. Constitution, have lobbied the state Legislature to repeal the requirement. Clemson both refuses to comply with the existing law and opposes a bill in the South Carolina General Assembly to update it, according to emails between the university’s provost and two lobbyists for the school. [More]So are we free to "refuse to comply" with weapon prohibitions, or would these same subversive scofflaws sic the enforcers on us to either bring us into compliance at gunpoint or kill us if we defy and resist orders to disarm?

WarOnGuns Corespondent Tristan M prods me that I need to periodically remind readers that you can subscribe to this blog and get the content delivered daily (except for days I don't post) directly to your email inbox. Just put your edress in that "Follow by Email" form in the left sidebar.
The "Contact Form" widget directly under that is also a quick and convenient way to send me a newslink tip, tell me where I screwed up, let me know you find me irresistibly gorgeous, or just wish death by gunfire on me or my children.
The only caveat-- I posted the widgets using stock Blogger tools, but control nothing else about them. I get the notices as a matter of course and note you can always unsubscribe. If you're afraid Google may be mining and feeding your personal data to shadowy forces isolating those slated for the camps, you probably shouldn't be on the internet anyway.
The rest of you -- feel free to sign up, although maybe I shouldn't encourage that because my guess is my stats will then go down. That's just in case I ever figure out how to make a nickel off this blog so I can start buyin' me some suits and interns...

“We will be closing them, they are not an essential function,” Villanueva said. “I’m a supporter of the 2nd amendment, I’m a gun owner myself, but now you have the mixture of people that are not formerly gun owners and you have a lot more people at home and anytime you introduce a firearm in a home, from what I understand from CDC studies, it increases fourfold the chance that someone is gonna get shot.” [More]What a lying sack of steaming crap.
