Brooking No Competition

A Phoenix couple is accused of buying a sniper rifle for the Sinaloa Mexican drug cartel. [More]

But...but...but the pros made getting away with it look so easy...

Everybody like the extraneous "used by the U.S. and other military forces" line, added for sheeple shock value effect?

We're the Only Ones Overreporting Enough

Four officers with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department are the targets of an internal affairs investigation regarding misleading claims of overtime. [More]

Kind'a makes you wonder what other reports they may have falsified, and who else may have had to pay for lies.

We're the Only Ones Honored Enough

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office Approves Honor Defense Honor Guard [More]

Sorry, the rest of you not worthy of being honored. It's not on the list.

Tangentially related: I just noticed Armatix has been decertified. As near as I can tell, that hasn't been reported on blogs or in the news. I don't know if it's been a subject of discussion on the gun boards, but it's news to me so I'm passing it on to you.

A few years back I was looking into irregularities on the timing of the roster approval, including why microstamping was not required for them when it was for everyone else, and how a system relying on a component like a wrist bracelet could switch that component in development and still have the certification approval apply.

Shots Fired

On Capitol Hill? [More]

What about all those gun owner controls?

And what's with "Only Ones" carrying  "weapons of war designed to kill as many people as possible"?

An Existential Threat

How North Korea could kill 90 percent of Americans [More]

So who do we heed?

This guy or this guy?

Why not understand both arguments and proceed from there?

South African Horror Aided by Gun Owner Control Policies

That’s an interesting choice of targets. And it’s an interesting admission about the government. Because complicity is more than “potential,” especially when they're egging on the violence and you then factor in their anti-gun edicts. [More]

Prelude to “ethnic cleansing” and genocide? Why do you think they want to control the guns?

Lock N Load

I'll be talking with Bill Frady at 7 p.m. Eastern about my recent articles and whatever else he wants to  surprise me with for impromptu discussion.

T.L. Davis on Southern Sense

If you missed his interview last Friday, you can still catch the archived show. [Listen]

'I'd Rather See a Woman Killed than Armed!'

So says Brian J. Moran, Secretary, Public Safety and Homeland Security, Richmond. [More]

Being an Opposite Day "progressive," he makes like his real passion is for "social justice issues."

I also couldn't help but notice the next letter, "Immigrant kids are tomorrow’s leaders."  Yeah, that's the plan.

This is What Happens Traitors are Allowed Power

Governor McAuliffe Proposes Amendment to Restore Virginia’s One-Handgun-a-Month Law [More]

His lickspittle likes it, too.

They'll continue to get away with it as long as rallies like this are numbered in the hundreds, because that's a pretty good indicator of gun owner commitment.

Process Flow

That's just "to own and possess." [More]

More rules and restrictions here.

Funny. With all those Everytown wishlist measures enacted, you'd think their rate would be lower than ours.

Editing the SPLC Narrative

What? You mean just because they say someone is a hater doesn't actually make him one? [More]

Aw, go on.

Hope for Today's Snowflakes?

Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten backs Brexit, Farage, Trump [More]

Some of the old punk pioneers have grown up -- a friend of mine was in a band in the 80s and grew up to appreciate much of what they were "rebelling" against.

There's something about having stuff of your own that you earned through sustained effort...

Who Needs a 'Weapon of War'?

Homeowner’s son kills three would-be burglars with AR-15 [More]

The Democrat Party and all the gun-grab groups would rather the son had been killed by multiple assailants than armed with a weapon up to the task of defending against them.

As an aside, Fox News still denies access to links from Blogger, so I had to get their story from a different source.  I'm comparatively small potatoes, but I wonder collectively how much traffic the geniuses responsible for that are driving away from them and to their competitors.

There's a better report here anyway.

Effective Advertising

For the company with a product or service to sell, appeal is right up there with simplicity and branding as per the following. [Watch]

But as far as agency profitability goes, Opposite Day "progressives" can throw that out the window as long as they have a steady flow of Astroturf money.

Nothing to Apologize for

Trust me on that, anyone who would even consider going to "confession" to absolve themselves of guilt for being a man -- because you're not. [More]

The next step though would be to sell indulgences, and the one after that would be to compel them, kind of like a carbon tax.  And, of course, the whiter you are, the bigger your footprint.

And as long as we're rubbing your faces in it...

Protecting Our Most Precious Asses ... uh ... Assets

Top national news organizations increase security for employees [More]

Sorry if you can't afford to follow suit, but they still don't want you to have the means to do the job yourself.

Wars Have Been Fought over Less

LA mayor vows to fight Trump administration attempt to strip ‘sanctuary city’ funding [More]

The domestic enemies demand those they're subverting provide the resources to make the job complete.

Thank goodness none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."
