The riddle of Steele
by David Codrea, Gun Rights Examiner

(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
The GOP has spoken.
Michael Steele is the new party chairman.
What does this mean for gun owners?
Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law.
It means once more the Republicans have abandoned their core constituency to chase after the false promise of moderation as the path to relevance. Say, how did that work out for John McCain and the rest of the party last November?
It won't work, of course. Even now, Democrat sympathizers are attacking Steele as a "dirty trickster." And "progressives" dismiss his appointment as cynical racial exploitation.
This is a familiar mantra. The point is, ceding to the left doesn't win you any friends among them--they just step up the attacks. And the Republicans seem bound and determined to drive away the friends it has always been able to count on in the hopes of appealing to a broader base.
Why would I support a broader base that wants to ban semi-autos? Why would I support a broader base that wants to enforce unconstitutional citizen disarmament edicts instead of repealing them? Why would you?
Some of us could see this coming. Some of us wonder why so few voices in the gun rights community raised warning flags on Steele at the outset.
Some of us wonder why so few voices in the gun rights community urged gun owners to make their voices heard.
Some of us wonder why so few voices in the gun rights community pressed the candidates for an unequivocal statement of where they stand on the Second Amendment.
Some of us wonder why so few voices in the gun rights community demanded a direct answer on something so basic and essential.
Some of us wonder why so few voices in the gun rights community did not respond with outrage when the debate moderators lobbed a softball instead, to give the illusion of gun owner support without requiring the candidates to actually reveal their position on gun rights. That was the republican party disrespecting us, in case you were wondering.
Some of us wonder why, even now, so few voices in the gun rights community are decrying Steele's selection as yet another betrayal. Perhaps former Republican National Committee Chair, the late Lee Atwater, was right in the question attributed to him about taking gun owners for granted: Who else are they going to vote for?
Of course, some of us wonder why all those Republican senators voted to pass Eric Holder's nomination on to the Senate floor, why so many Republican senators enthusiastically support Holder, and why no Republican senators have even attempted to block the confirmation.
What some of us don't wonder, based on all of the above--is why gun owners are continually manipulated by the Republicans. It actually seems pretty obvious.
The riddle of Steele is no riddle at all.

Concession Stand
Al Gore: If Trump Refuses to Concede, the Military Would Run Him Out [More]
Hillary Clinton sets the stage for chaos: 'Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances'
The cognitive dissonance: It burns!
Even Trump was not that adamant. Matter of fact, with the way things are going, this seems pretty reasonable and responsible:
“I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.”
They've been setting the stage for conflict: Cheat with mail-in-votes, make up and disseminate conspiracy theories about directed mail-in suppression, and then try to justify an armed coup if the results are questioned.
And So It Begins
The young white man...carries an assault-style rifle...
And am I reading reports right?
The alleged gunman is finally seen heading north towards several police tactical vehicles, with his arms raised as the tactical vehicles drive by him ... police said they were looking for one individual with a “long gun”
How does that happen? And shall we ask Sheriff "Only One"?
“I’ve had people saying: ‘Why don’t you deputise citizens? This is why you don’t deputise citizens with guns to protect Kenosha.”
That's because the incentives are for you and yours to deliberately ignore the core purpose of the Second Amendment that would ensure the Militia is well regulated.
And speaking of being trained and proficient, if someone who was wanted to, he'd have engaged from several hundred yards away and vanished into the night.
Looks like it's no longer rocks, bottles, bats and pepper spray...

This is the House That @Jack Built
The Elephant in the Room that Won't Go Away
The one thing you forgot to add is the absent father syndrome which has huge implications and affects the children of the fractured family system. [More]
You're right about that being a major factor but I did not forget about it -- I deliberately limited myself to rebutting those factors Rev. Lynch introduced, albeit I generally gave it a nod in the statement:
The truth about urban violence is it’s not about guns (or the made-up political term “gun violence”), but about the inevitable fruits of “progressive” fraud that keeps charlatans in power through an endless cycle of dependency and manipulation. Yes, race is a factor—not as a cause of violent crime, but as an indicator of populations most influenced and ultimately victimized by a continuing history of destructive collectivist controls over the economy, over education, and over the lives of those who never escape the trap of a corrupt system.
Those policies include generational government subsidies that guarantee more of the same. I have addressed this directly on numerous occasions though. One that comes to mind was in a friendly reminder I wrote several years back to a colleague who maintained Seattle and pre-"shall issue" Milwaukee had "roughly the same social makeup," and therefore the "big difference" between their homicide rates was due to concealed carry:
Sorry ... but the cities do not share "roughly the same...social makeup." Just look at the comparison between "female householders, no husband present" (8.09% vs. 21.07%).
Disregarding the leftist riot nonsense and looking at both cities today with what's happening in Milwaukee, it's pretty obvious that what you say is the elephant in the room that too many on "both sides" won't address for reasons that also seem pretty obvious.
My caveat here is that we'll need to wait for new census figures to come in to establish authoritative current rates -- unless someone can point to reliable local data.

Not to Split Hairs, But...
“I agree with Rep. Biedermann: if you are not prohibited from possessing a handgun, you should not be prohibited from carrying it. Texas still requires those who legally own a handgun to get a government permit to carry that handgun. This permit requirement does not stop criminals; it only disarms victims and makes it harder for certain classes of Texans to keep themselves and their families safe." [More]
How about those of us who would be designated prohibited if we're ever caught disobeying citizen disarmament edicts? I wonder if Rachel would agree that if you truly can't be trusted with a gun you have proven yourself to be an untrustworthy monster with no business stalking freely among the rest of us.

Please, Please Mister Postman
Donald Trump and every decent American must do everything in their power right now to prevent a mail-in election. People must go to the polls and vote in person. Absentee ballots are one thing, but a massive vote-by-mail election guarantees tampering and corruption—a corruption Democrats are counting on. It will be impossible for Trump to get a fair count. [More]
Meanwhile, the Dem pincer strategy is to accuse Trump of disenfranchising voters by blocking postal service (while they literally do just that), and if the mail-in fraud is contested, they're priming things for use of force.

What does this once more confirm for us about "an unarmed man"? And if "teen" isn't a racist codeword, I don't know what is.
