Merry Christmas, 2021

I thank all of you who have given me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, to sending a word of encouragement, to educating and helping me grow (either by confirming or correcting my assumptions), or to sharing my links, encouraging me to continue the work.

My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.

Now: What in the world are you doing here?

It's Christmas. And if you don't celebrate it, indulge those of us who do.

Go be with the ones you love. If there is no one you love, go fix that. Go do something loving for someone.

Merry Christmas.

‘May Issue’ Permits Make Discriminatory ‘Pay-to-Play’ Concealed Carry Inevitable

The fact is, “may issue” permits generally mean “may not,” and make “pay-to-play” and/or currying favor with the elites inevitable, as we’ve seen prove out many times over the years. [More]

So come on down to Loonie Laurie's where our prices won't be beat -- and if you have one of our permits, neither will you! Be sure and ask about our "Buy One Get One Free" Twofer Tuesday Special!

Food Fight!

So for more effective gun-grabber propagandizing to the family at Christmas dinner, you should stifle your inherent urge to shriek and then smile as you lie? [Watch]

Sorry, "star."We can't agree that "more than 40,000 people are killed BY a gun every year." If you need that explained, you need to take some prerequisites before you're ready for a real conversation-- but I suspect you know exactly what you're doing.

And "something has to be done"? Like what?

Then there's "You believe her Second Amendment right is non-negotiable." That must be why the grabbers just issue obey-or-die mandates.

And my personal favorite, "No one is looking to take your guns away!"

Some of us are on to what you elitist "97 Percenters" are trying to do, and unlike your useful idiot supporters, we're not fooled.

Besides, I'm kind of picky about who I invite over, and fortunate that there is no "woke" divide in my family.

Help Wanted

Received by email from Cavalier Knight:

On December 07, 2021, the Appellate Division, 1st Judicial Department just agreed with Appellee’s argument that “as-applied” to my business and “Federal Firearms Licensees (01).” All “Federal Firearms Licensees (01)” must open a “brick & mortar” store before they can apply for a state “Firearms Dealer’s License.”

And Appellees can use “Title 38 - R.C.N.Y. and/or NYC Administrative Code” to “preempt” the Supremacy Clause, federal, and state laws. By prohibiting “Federal Firearms Licensees (01)” in the City of New York. From selling firearms to “law-abiding” citizens “intrastate” at “gun shows.” Or “intrastate” and/or “interstate” via “mail-order” and/or “e-commerce” anywhere outside of the City of New York. Which strikes at the core of the “2nd Amendment” right. Please feel free to review my case files.

How is this any different than using a “poll tax” as a legal way to keep “African Americans” from voting in southern states? My case files can be viewed at my DropBox link below. Thank you for your kind consideration in this urgent matter.

Blast from the Past

 If you have not read Jeff Snyder's "A Nation of Cowards," carve out the time to do so, and properly, with consideration and reflection. If it's been a while since you read it, rediscover its truths. [More]

Then use them.

There's another essay Snyder wrote that also deserves to be reintroduced, but I read it 20 years ago, and damn if I can remember the title. I'll subject myself to some bright lights and slap myself around a bit to see if I want to quit stalling and talk.

In my preliminary search for it, I did come across a contention and discussion from a few years back saying he used a false Madison quote. Not so. The quote may be false, but here's what Snyder wrote:

"As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust."

That's not a quote and doesn't represent itself to be one, but is nonetheless a fair paraphrasing. NOC doesn't even mention Madison. And no, it hasn't been subsequently edited.

I know Facebook, Twitter, and Politifact don't have to worry about their "fact-checkers" knowing what the hell they're talking about, but if someone ostensibly on "our side" represents his conclusions as being the correct ones, I expect no less than what I demand of myself.

UPDATE: And holding myself to what I expect of myself, it appears a retraction and apology are in order: From me.

O Canada

 The current Canadian firearms legislation is some of the most restrictive in the world. Unlike our friends to the south, Canadians don’t lawfully carry handguns on their belts, in their nightstands, pockets, gloveboxes and purses. Police here don’t approach every person they encounter with the underlying assumption that the person is armed – either legally or illegally. Our legislation is quite effective. [More]

The REAL Numbers

 Meanwhile, deaths at home attributed to conditions with symptoms that look a lot like COVID-19 — heart attacks, Alzheimer’s and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease — increased. “When it comes to COVID, we don’t do a test,” Jordan said, “so we don’t know if someone has COVID or not.” [More]

Yeah, I've always felt deaths of COVID-infected one-year-olds committing suicide with "self inflicted gun shot" wounds have been way underreported. Speaking of which, for some reason since I took that screenshot I can no longer reach those results...

In related Vaxnews (might as well start getting used to Newspeak), it's looking like as far as Omicron is concerned, third time's no charm, and we might be able to stop chasing after that hard-to-obtain "horse paste" and go straight to Benadryl and milk (no idea on safe dosages for the former and what the lactose intolerant can do about the latter).

Ri...ight.

Like you can just make up some bull****, invite him and he'll show.

Funny how he didn't try to disavow things until he'd been exposed. Then he lies, changes the subject to redirect, and the DSM helps him get away with it. 

That's the Marxist MO. Lather, rinse, repeat. Amazing anyone is deluded enough to fall for it...

Self-Defense is Racist

 Carol Anderson claims the Second Amendment is rooted in the goal of suppressing slave insurrections and therefore is irredeemably racist. [More]

The work of white supremacists, no doubt...

By Jove!


Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

They Say That Like It's a Bad Thing

 ‘Silent’ COVID twice as prevalent as feared: 4 in 10 patients have no symptoms, study warns [More]

So instead of mobilizing and marshaling resources to find out why and see if it can be replicated, the motivation is to blame them for the deaths?

I've Got You Under My Skin

 In December 2019, Robert S. Langer and his team developed and patented a technique whereby transdermal patches could be used to label people with invisible ink to store medical and other information subcutaneously – under the skin. The research "was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research." [More]

Pay particular attention to "and other information." The masters want all kinds of ways to account for their chattel.

I haven't been this excited since Tommy Thompson was in the chips.

Hey, it beats laser etching a QR code on your lower lip. And the opportunities for coercing compliance are boundless.

Brought to you by economic fascis... uh ... public/private partnerships.

And... from WarOn Guns Correspondent Michael G comes this bit of Revelation:

Video Of Swedish Company’s Covid Passport Microchips, Implanted In Hands, Goes Viral

It's like they're not even trying to hide who what they work for anymore.

In the Navy, Come on, Protect the Motherland

 Navy unveils maternity uniform pilot program for 2022 [More]

And then there's this...

Won't this make the Admiral feel like wearing them is some kind of microaggression?


A Straw Man Argument

  Nathan W. Konzen, 34, and Marie Allman, 33, were indicted by a federal grand jury in Cleveland in a five-count indictment charging them with making a false statement during the purchase of firearms and being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. [More]

It must be a good law because NRA and NSSF are both enthusiastically for it, right?

Smarter Than the Founders -- Just Ask Her

 REDO THE FIRST TWO AMENDMENTS [More]

This useful academic idiot would do well to drop the "Mary" and just go by "Anne Frank."

I guess she thinks all you need is Krav Maga.

That's the Ticket!

 "What kind of tickets?"

"For the raffle, stupid." [Watch]

Boys being boys. I laughed. I miss those days.

This takes a few minutes to get started. We talked about it on AAR. 

Here's the long-awaited drawing for the Delaware Spartans Youth Baseball gun raffle. I'm pleased to see the bucket appears amply loaded.

Ha! Two "Davids" won! One of them was our own "1Gat"!

Run, Moochie, Run!

Robbery, in her home. Hands and feet bound, 24 stab wounds. Her son found her. [More]

I got your "equity" right here.

We're seeing Mr. Adams' sad truth play out before our eyes.

Brought to you by the same faction that exploits "No justice, no peace!" and decries "vigilantism." When communist-agitated mobs do it, they call it "restorative justice."

I'm thinking of taking a calendar and starting a Moochie pool.

Sympathy for the Devil

American colonists called him a tyrant. But was King George III really so bad? [More]
Mr. Pynchon has a relevant observation.

Now consider the right question.

By Any Other Name...

  It’s no longer an “insurrection.” It’s been rebaptized a “sinister” act of “vigilantism.” [More]

I thought the provocateurs were acting in an official capacity...?

The Brothers Dim

 The Constitution of the United States allows Americans to enjoy individual rights and freedoms. [More]
No, that's not the way rights work, grinning beta douchebags. You'd think a pair of lawyers would know that.

Kind'a makes reading the rest of their smug little coerced "solution" a waste of time...

Forgive me for wondering how they'd fare against someone who is ineligible for their prior restraint "insurance."

Half Measures


It ain't charity if you make others pay for it and leave the rest of us picking up the lifelong tab so Sister Subversive can feel pious about herself.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Spider & the Fly

  • Transgenderism Is Communism
  • North Korea staged at least 27 public executions since 2011
  • UN reports massive problems with the Nicaraguan elections
  • Vietnamese land rights activists draw harsh sentences
  • Venezuela’s embrace of Cuba has left Caracas destitute

And much more from the Anticommunism Action Team [More]

We're the Only Ones Unthankful Enough

Idaho sheriff charged after pulling gun on youth group leaving thank you notes - Investigators say Sheriff Craig Rowland aimed a gun at the group of girls, dragged their adult chaperone from the car by her hair, and threatened to execute her. [More]

No doubt the adults in the group should have known better than to lead children in such a dumb after-dark delivery stunt, but the sheriff's response should make it "clear as a freakin' bell" that he has no business with armed authority over others.

He can't be too bright, either, if he doesn't know that when you're in trouble you shouldn't talk to the cops, especially in his case, to the tribal police.

Daily Defense Redux

 Mark welcomes long-time AAR contributor, David Codrea who opens up about Kim Potter trial, Dr. Oz, smash and grabs, and Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns members running the highest crime cities in the nation. [Listen]

We also brought in a rep from the Delaware Spartans to talk about the gun raffle.

Off the Record

Why are Senate Democrats reluctant to go on the record? [Watch]

What do they know about running on a "commonsense gun safety" platform that they're not admitting?
