Two Rocky Mount Police Department officers have been charged by federal authorities with misdemeanors stemming from their presence at violent protests in Washington, D.C... [More]
So the judge "told them they are not allowed to have firearms at home until further notice"? What about on the job? And in any case, aside from "domestic violence," what other misdemeanors carry disarmament penalties, particularly if no one has been convicted of anything?

“Brad took the bullet for Jared.” [More]
It sounds like he almost took the bullet for himself, which makes me wonder why Alan thinks he's the perfect pick for promoting gun ownership.
As for Kushner, he is probably the biggest mistake of the Trump presidency and it won't surprise me in the least to find his hand had been secretly undermining the old man when it served his interests.

So surrender and obey or our enforcers will destroy you?
It's just another way to make those who reject their calculated "Can we all get along?" overture seem the unreasonable ones.
A convergence of priorities, conflicts, and new demands means I have some stuff I need to work on behind the scenes that take precedence over WarOnGuns blog posts.
I got a ton of news tips overnight and can't look at them until I get the pressing matters under control. I don't want anybody to think I'm just ignoring them. Please hold off on more tips, correspondence, and comments. You'll know I'm back when you see me start posting here again.
And it looks like no shortage of Good Americans are happy to come forth with tips and snips!
Project Veritas: PBS Counsel Says Trump Supporters’ Children Should Be Taken, Put in ‘Re-Education Camps’: “Americans are so fucking dumb.

Could you imagine if you lived in one of these other towns or states where everybody’s just stupid?” [More]

I'm afraid that depends on the ability to counter the lies. Look for Pledge Takers to be attacked with the same "extremist" smears as Oath Keepers, and look for avenues to counter that being increasingly sealed off.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to exemplify these deals for those within our spheres of influence (with qualified boundaries on that "cooperation with law enforcement officials to reduce criminal activity" part). I'm just saying that won't stop the domestic enemies from demonizing and dehumanizing us and trying to destroy and then erase us, which is where we find ourselves.

Over the last few weeks, I have lost literally hundreds of "friends" and "followers" on Facebook and Twitter. What I can't tell is if they deactivated their accounts on their own or had their accounts deactivated for them in "the purge."
As the only reason I even spend any time at all on those platforms is to promote my articles, I'm weighing my options. I've tried the alternatives but they never produced enough "bang for the buck" to justify the effort.

In his latest, he can't signal hard enough to the communists that he doesn't identify with any MAGA deplorables, as if that will mean a thing when it's his time for the show trial. Imagine what he would have said about the lawless Captain Parker had he been around. The lump is proving himself to be every bit the weasel as his predecessor.
Without doubt, these people will overreach. Their lists will grow so long, their cancelations so widespread, that, as happened with the Reign of Terror, everyone who isn’t clinically insane will finally realize that things have gone too far and will, in one way or another, put an end to the madness. [More]
And that putting an end bit will require more than hoping things inevitably get better. They haven't in China.

So what does all this mean? The Democrats still have a super majority. They do not need a single Republican vote to pass any of these bills, and except for the permit to purchase bill, they have been trying to pass all this stuff for years. So they are determined. They are also blood thirsty and vindictive. The only reason some of this did not get passed last session was because the Republicans walked out. We have no way of knowing if they will again. Walking out is very costly and subjects Republicans to arrest.[More]

With all the canceling going on of people to be hated, I'm wondering how soon we will be marked for disappearance from the internet. How soon until anything we write will be algorithmed out of Google searches altogether, or at least come with age restrictions or warning of being purveyors of falsehoods?

I received a very nice and supportive email over the weekend from Dennis Dullea, a Second Amendment supporter and FFL in Fort Worth who is also an accomplished blues guitarist. I've always had an affinity for patriots who are also musicians. Not only can they help advance freedom in novel ways, in troubled times they help us mentally and emotionally regroup, and realize that life is also about enjoying it when the opportunity offers itself.
This guy is good. Take a break for a few minutes and recharge:
He says you can get "a one hour DVD that shows how I play most of these licks note by note." Well, you can. My guitar skills are pretty much limited to turning the crank...
