What if They Gave a Reenactment and Nobody Came?

The reenactment was to include firing black powder muskets as a part of the history lesson, but the group was told that’s against the rules. According to a city law which says you cannot “Use, maintain, possess, fire, or discharge any firearm.” [More]

Yep -- and it's ironic, considering the Red Coats being the "Only Ones" authorized to bear arms was what gave us something to reenact in the first place. Under "Park Regulations":

9.36.061 Firearms, air guns, and other weapons. No person other than peace officers in the discharge of their duties shall use, maintain, possess, fire, or discharge any firearm, air gun, spring gun, bow and arrow, slingshot, or any other weapon potentially dangerous to wildlife or human safety, except in areas, at times, and under conditions designated by the Director for such use. 

It could be that there are certain lawfully-enacted steps that must be followed for rule waivers, including notification and public comment periods, and that safety and liability considerations would need to be satisfied. That said, if the park district has known about this since "late last year," there's not much reason why that couldn't have been worked out by now except bureaucrats behaving like bureacrats.

My guess is if they really wanted to, they could have.

So who is "the Director"? And which council members have not been working to resolve this?

Any chance they could be "incentivized"?

A Set-Up?

Last weekend, while doing what seemed to be a regular interview, I discovered that a movie is being made with the intent to discredit gun-rights leaders across the country. [More]

I'm passing this on with the caveat that I have not personally done a thing to verify the allegations. Nor will I have time-- I'm simply posting this becuase I've been asked to share it. Here's the suspect group's web and Facebook pages. Who.is shows a proxy.

And this is the email received by another group from the alleged "scam contact":

I'll send them the link and invite them to comment.

Kasich’s Renewed Betrayal Foreshadows Establishment GOP Retreat on Guns

In Kasich’s case, it was no surprise.  As a congressman, he was one of 46 Republican members who helped pass the 1994 semi-auto ban by a narrow 216-214 vote margin, putting him on a first-name basis with Bill Clinton.  Then, when running for governor and needing the votes, he “convinced” (a more than willing) NRA to change his “F” to an “A,” paying them back with “good” gun actions as long as he felt pandering to Ohio gun owners was in his political interests.

No worries. No expense will be spared to ensure the twins will be protected by "their own bodyguards" while George and Amal are out there trying to get laws passed to make the rest of us criminals for having the means to protect our children.

The Orphan Amendment

Our continued refusal to hear Second Amendment cases only enables this kind of defiance. We have not heard argument in a Second Amendment case for nearly eight years. Peruta v. California, 582 U. S. ___, ___ (2017) (THOMAS, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari) (slip op., at 7).  And we have not clarified the standard for assessing Second Amendment claims for almost 10.  Meanwhile, in this Term alone, we have granted review in at least five cases involving the First Amendment and four cases involving the Fourth Amendment—even though our jurisprudence is much more developed for those rights. [More]

So naturally a demand must be made viral to impeach Clarence Thomas.

Don't worry about discrimination charges for booting the only justice of color off the court. It's not like he's a real black person.

A Woman's Place?

More women die when domestic abusers own guns. [More]

I'm calling BS on this Gungrabby Gabby press release rewrite. Especially after seeing the "federal law ... already prohibits people convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors and those who are subject to certain protective orders" admission that "gun control" doesn't work. So naturally, they want more of it.

And especially especially after seeing the old "developed countries" deception pulled out of the gungrab bag of tricks...

Also note you won't see the difference between gun ownership and gun possession acknowledged. There's a reason for that.

Bottom line: Opposite Day "progressive" champions of "womyn's rights" disparage equalizers and would rather see them slaughtered like sows than armed.
