We're the Fauxnly Ones Preventing Loss Enough

“They are not police officers. They are given limited police authority,” Quinn said. “They’re not supposed to take them off mall premises, not unless they’re given some authority other than what they’re given by their license, no.” [More]
So would you call that a reversal of "snatch and grab"?

It's a Big Club and You Ain't In It

King, co-host of "CBS This Morning," went on a star-studded vacation with the former president and first lady, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and her best friend Oprah Winfrey on billionaire David Geffin's 138-meter luxury yacht, called the Rising Sun. [More]
Not that this would ever affect her objectivity...

Appeasement with 'Honor'?

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Saturday the United States would honor a controversial refugee deal with Australia, under which the United States would resettle up to 1,250 asylum seekers, a deal President Donald Trump had described as "dumb". [More]
Why?

We're the Only Ones Persuasive Enough

“Randazzo held a position with the sole purpose to serve and protect the people of this city. Instead, he targeted certain women, persuaded them to sexually abuse their children and had them send him pictures and videos of the acts,” said Special Agent-in-Charge Melendez. [More]
If you want to know why he got to carry a gun in New York City and you don't, here's proof positive ordinary people like you and me just don't have the experience that makes a professsional so special -- or the connections to so many Demanding Moms.

Speaking of Fake News

Isn't diagnosing without examination and testing malpractice that ought to result in license revocation? [More]

And isn't this entire "story" journalistic malpractice?

Gearing Up

With names like "National Socialist Alliance," it's tough to see how Antifa commies don't have a point screaming "Nazi!" but that seems more like rivalry over brand dominance than anything else.  [More]

The significant thing to notice here is they're advising followers about "stand your ground" and open carry.

We've noted such movement before. This thing looks like it has potential to go all kinds of sideways...

We're the Only Ones Toilet-Trained Enough

A federal air marshal on a transatlantic flight left her loaded service weapon in the airplane’s bathroom, where it was discovered by a passenger who gave it to a crew member before it was returned to the federal agent, CNN has learned. [More]
I think I've figured out one reason why you and I can't carry in the UK, in transit and in New York City while Wipeolina here can -- we have absolutely no experience with  this kind of thing, so it's best left to the professionals.

NRA Boots USCCA from Annual Meeting as It Launches Competitive Insurance Products

That said, enough clues exist to speculate that banishing USCCA may have something to do with NRA recently launching very similar insurance products competing with those offered by USCCA. [More]
Join us-- that is, unless we won't let you.

British Terror Survival Tips Ignore What to Actually Do During Attack

The message here is we can’t stop such an attack, we can do nothing when one is in progress, and the best we can hope for is to do what we can to keep victims from bleeding out before the ambulances arrive. [More]
Because to do anything more would make them ammosexuals and xenophobes.

Why Did 'Progressives' Push Through Antitrust Laws Again?

Google is a monopoly — and it's crushing the internet [More]
It  also removed my Virginia Tech AmmoLand article from its news feed. Ah well -- knowing me, it was probably "fake news" anyway.

Tip of the Iceberg


The National Rifle Association Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association from Annual Meeting and Exhibits [More]
You can bet there's more to this story. I'm listening to AAR right now to hear if Mark Walters is elaborating on reasons why.

The Road to Hell is Paved with 'Progressive' Intentions

De Blasio Backs Plan to Lift Base Price of Pack of Cigarettes to $13 [More]
What, you mean give "New York City’s dangerous, multimillion-dollar cigarette black market" street gangs even more incentive to use whatever means necessary to enforce and expand their turf?

Excellent plan for ensuring more GunviolenceTM!

And he can continue to blame that "iron pipeline"!

And have idiots reelect him!

Our Absurdity is Our Strength

If you’re a violent criminal in Northern California, Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen has your back. Rosen has implemented a new office policy requiring prosecutors to “plead down” violent felony cases that may lead to a criminal being deported. [More]
So much for equal protection  -- I wonder how many citizens he has not extended such consideration to?

It may not do any good, but what do good, patriotic Americans living in California have to lose by taking a few moments to file a state bar complaint? At the very least, you will call some attention to "official" subversion, and who knows what could come from that?

We Can't Have That

You know, connecting dots from politicians enabling Islamist "migration" to terror committed by Islamist "migrants"... [More]

We're the Only Ones Furious Enough

"A lot of people who are right to carry people try to say I'm anti-second amendment ..." [More]
No, you're the one saying that.

From My Cold Dead Legal Challenge

Like it or not, the Courts have the final say whether you have gun rights or not. [More]
What a crock of preemptively-surrendering defeatist scheiße.

That kind of thinking right there negates the entire purpose of the Second Amendment.  No wonder it's coming from the same rice bowl interests that publicly disparage "I will not comply" activists as "extremists."

Absolutely, we need to be doing what we can now if there's any chance such efforts can help resolve or stall things without lethal risk, devastation and terrible sacrifice. But if and when that doesn't work what will our "leaders" urge us to do? Turn 'em all in, Mr. and Mrs. America?

Oh.

I'd have a lot more faith in their Judicial Accountability Project if I'd seen these folks put some actual due diligence into the most important nomination in recent times. That and if they weren't actively subverting RKBA with other actions that will guarantee legislative and judicial defeats in the years ahead if not reversed starting now.

We're the Only Ones Catching Our Breath Enough

Breathalyzer officer fired after showing up for work drunk... [More]
Hey, if you want a job done right, give it to someone with experience.  Besides, he just wanted to stagger home at the end of his shift.

We're the Only Ones Exempted Enough


Funny -- I don't see any category I would qualify for ... how about you? [More]

Perhaps it's just an oversight...?

The Capitalists Will Sell Us the Rope with Which We Will Hang Them


Spurious Lenin quote aside, that's exactly what this Antifa credit card knife evokes. [More]

I believe I've seen these things  offered as swag by gun groups. They are Iain Sinclair designs, but the number of counterfeits makes assumptions unfair.

It would be interesting to identify companies profiting from doing business with anti-capitalists, and the decision-makers behind that.
