Senate Bill 5078, bans the manufacture, possession, sale, transfer, etc., of magazines that “are capable of holding,” or hold more than, 12 rounds of ammunition. [More]

Thoughts and Prayers

 “We filed the lawsuit after we discovered that California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, a resource guide for local school districts, included prayer to Aztec gods – the same deities that were invoked when the Aztecs worshipped with human sacrifices,” said Paul Jonna, partner at LiMandri & Jonna LLP and Thomas More Society Special Counsel. “The Aztec prayers at issue – which seek blessings from and the intercession of these demonic forces – were not being taught as poetry or history. Rather, the curriculum instructed students to chant the prayers for emotional nourishment after a ‘lesson that may be emotionally taxing or even when student engagement may appear to be low.’ The idea was to use them as prayers.” [More]

Washington Post Throwing Stones Brings to Mind Cautions about Glass Houses

Anti-gun males like Waldman know that their smears and lies and attempts at wit aren’t working, and in fact, are starting to backfire on them. Not being anywhere near as clever as they presume themselves to be, they don’t know how to do anything else but double down. Meanwhile, more and more Americans are comparing reality with what media hacks are telling them, meaning his influence and tired, old themes are waning even further. [More]
It must infuriate them that despite their attempts to warn them off, politicians are striving to prove which one of them is more "pro-gun."

Another 'Single Issue' Tie-In

 In the comments, GOA and GOF wrote, “The federal government possesses only the few and limited powers set out in the U.S. Constitution. None of those powers give the federal government a general police power to order mandatory vaccines. The federal government has no other source of authority, such as the commerce power, to command health decisions by Americans.” The comments continued to argue that, “if the OSHA vaccine mandate regulations were to be upheld, it could readily open the door to the federal government infringing the rights of Americans in many other areas of their lives, including their right to keep and bear arms, which is why GOA and GOF have a particular interest in these proposed regulations.”  [More]

Vaccines and guns? But...but...but "single issue"...

Now do one for "immigration." And score the votes. And let us know why. Like Larry promised (@45:00 into the conversation):

“Well the answer you're going to get from us at Gun Owners of America is ‘Absolutely should be part of the scoring,' and it's something that we plan on including in our rating of Congress this and next year, because, as we've already discussed,  if we don't block this amnesty move — now — before we get 5 … 8 million previously illegal aliens now voting, 85% of whom are, they tell pollsters, gonna vote for anti-gun Democrats, that's the ball game. That's it. We lose our Second Amendment, doesn't matter whether it's still in the Constitution in writing or not, the National Archives can't protect it from this kind of assault. Seems pretty unequivocal. Seems pretty correct.”

Speaking of Suppressors

The committee voted to continue the ban on the use of suppressors. What is interesting and frustrating is the mindset behind the decision. Only 8 states ban ownership of suppressors (CA, DE, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI). Only 19.3% of NRA members live in these states. Rather than recognize the rights of over 80% of NRA members in the 42 states that recognize our rights, the committee was more concerned that a competitor bringing a suppressor into a restricted state would reflect negatively on the NRA and the sport. [More]
Instead of seizing on an opportunity to publicly demonstrate positive use to all, the LaPierrians continue to prove they are every bit as counterproductive to member interests as the most virulent Demanding Mom-- more so, actually, since they're inside the gates.

Speaking of Disenfranchising Minorities

 MSNBC hack Joy Reid took a break from race baiting Thursday night to once again call for any one who remains unvaccinated to be denied medical care and for them to be made into an underclass. [More]

What is it about national socialists and Untermenschen?

UPDATE: And it looks like this will be today's tangentially-related Covid story aggregator. I'll start with a term from the new South Park "made for TV movie":

"The COVID Delta Plus Rewards Program variant..."

Nothing quite says "success" like coercing your subjects into submission.

The New Normal

 USA Today Tries to Destigmatize Pedophilia, Fails Miserably [More]

The perverted minds behind this will be back. Give it some time and anyone against it will be a "hater." 

The idea that the attraction prompting that most strongest of innate biological urges, to spawn, can be successfully suppressed without manifesting itself in other destructive impulses is pure fantasy, so naturally, it is being couched in "scientific" terms. I do find it interesting they're trying for a default "pedophilia may originate in the womb, meaning pedophiles have no control over their attraction" hypothesis.  

Say it is. Guess who would scream the loudest if parents decided to use screening for that as the basis for terminating a pregnancy.

We're the Only Ones Unexclusive Enough

Looks like they've learned to work the system and he was wrong thinking they wouldn't report it. And I guess you have to be a bit higher on the food chain to Always Think Forfeiture.

The Nature of the Beast

 California's overflowing coffers hand Newsom 'every politician's dream' [More]

So naturally, he and his cronies demand more.

That's why they're called totalitarians.

Maybe That's Just the Way People Who Hate Themselves Act

People behave more sadistically when they’re bored [More]

My experience has been that not all sadists are bored and people who are are boring. We have access to more diversions than at any other time in history, so this suggests most of those pursuits are trivial or bad for you, and thus ultimately unfulfilling.

I'm guessing this is just a manifestation of shallow, lazy, dull, and self-loathing people without the imagination, drive, and motivation to be interested in something other than themselves taking their self-imposed misery out on others. 

Those I call friends are busy, interested, interesting, and kind.

He's On His Own

“I was just charged with 18 different counts, that was dropped to 10, that was dropped to one. When I shouldn’t be out right now. I disrupted somebody’s life. I traumatized somebody because of how I felt in a situation,” Trent said. “Personally, yes, I want to be out but, principally, no I shouldn’t be out because I could have done a lot more damage than I did. I was expecting to get time; people who were in that situation, they should expect to get time.” [More]

That innate sense of right and wrong makes him salvageable with the right kind of custodial care that includes reflection, penitence, and restitution. That they're not providing it pretty much means they're washing their hands of him and leaving his community to deal with him -- and vice versa.

One Question

Did he buy any guns during that time?
