We're the Only Ones Professional Enough

Boston police officers were highest paid city employees in 2018 [More]

But it's still not enough, is it?

But it's nice to have a chance to use the original, unmodified  Lee Paige quote again.

A Matter of Priorities

Chicago's Cook County Votes To Dismantle 'Racist' Gang Database [More]

Fortunately, we still know who all of you who got your guns "legally" are.

Lucy's McBut

I am a strong supporter and proponent of the Second Amendment. [More]

But...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County' Is

Cooper said he would support a similar, revised bill, but it would have to be one which does not infringe upon people's rights. [More]

Flesh that out for us.

Because unless it involves full due process protections equivalent to those of a jury trial and the segregation of anyone proven to be a danger to others, we're just trampling on rights while making stroking motions.

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson, was among the eight Republican cosponsors of the legislation. [More]

Identify the rest. Then show them what should happen to turncoats.

Unoriginal Thinking

Brett Kavanaugh Flunks His First Test as an Originalist - Unlike Thomas and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh stayed mum on originalism in a major constitutional case. [More]

We're the Only Ones Classified Enough

California keeps a secret list of criminal cops, but says you can’t have it - Attorney General warns reporters it's illegal to possess list of thousands of cop convictions [More]

He'd tell you but then he'd have to kill you?

For the Children

One in four teenage suicides involves the internet, official inquiry finds [More]

And it looks like the preferred method is suffocation.

You'd think all these people screaming about your and my guns would be devoting some of that energy and resources to leading factors -- that is if the calculating minds behind citizen disarmament weren't really pursuing a different goal.

Thirteen Reasons Why

The final vote of 245 to 182 fell largely along party lines, but 13 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure.  [More]

Who are they?  Don't you "professional reporters" at CBS News think that might be a major point of interest to at least list, if not explore? Oh, that's right, I forgot: Real journalists show you for what you are.

The Hill and Roll Call haven't forgotten the first of "the 5 W's." I see oozing "bipartisan" manginas Brian Fitzpatrick and Fred Upton are among the dissidents.

If I had the time, I'd go through each name to see how they are on immigration and guns. One name that sticks out for me is Thomas Massie's.

Here are his reasons. 

They don't sit well with my "VLLA SELLA" predisposition, but I've gotta admit that usurpation of undelegated authority is what got us into this tyrannical government mess in the first place.

I admit I'm conflicted. I fear if the threat is not stopped, and now, we are heading for a place where the niceties of "rules" will be irrelevant.

Appeal Filed after Trump-Appointed Judge Rules for Administration’s Bump Stock Ban

In the Memorandum Opinion, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, nominated to the court by President Donald Trump, ruled against all motions for a preliminary injunction to find for the administration in the cases of Guedes, et al., v. ATF and Codrea, et al. v. William P. Barr [More]

Who's still asleep enough to still think this is "just about bump stocks" or still in denial enough to insist that it's some genius 3D chess maneuver purposely designed to lose in the courts?

Colorado under Fire

See, if you weren't such a hating fascist that deserves to be punched in the face and exiled from social media and fired, they wouldn't be so unhappy.

Johminny Cricket

"...I support instant background checks on the purchase of all guns to prevent convicted felons from obtaining them, but I do not support waiting periods or the registration of any firearm.” [More]

Well (may I call you "Stupid"?), then it's on you to explain why the National Institute of Justice in its Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention Strategies, admitted about "Universal Background Checks":

"Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration..."

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

Former New York mayor Bloomberg gives to pro-Lindsey Graham PAC [More]

What did Mr. Carlin say?

Too bad his "solution" was more collectivism.

Common Ground with Commies

Portland listening session turns into extremist ‘sh*tshow’ as activists demand police force be disbanded [More]

I agree!

I'm hard-pressed to think of any population that has politically enabled Antifa-style "anarchy" more, and I say give 'em what they asked for and then some. 

And make sure the gun stores are ordered closed in an emergency!

Meet Your Superior

"We have a problem in America called spacial-geographic inequality, which means that the most affluent and educated people are clustered in just a few cities,” he said. [More]

The guy fails basic Sun Tzu.  Conversely, we know his type.

Being a smart-ass adroit at snarky repartee does not necessarily a leading intellect make.

Why am I suddenly thinking "hubris" and "karma"...?

Hunting with Amy's Old Dick

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar says that she comes at gun safety legislation from the perspective of: “Would this hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand?” [More]

Doesn't this disgustingly unsanitary headcase have an assault binder to throw at some staffers whose careers she's trying to ruin?

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

On Feb. 18 Representative Cal Bahr (R- East Bethel) Representative Jeremy Munson (R- Lake Crystal), Representative Steve Drazkowski (R- Mazeppa), Tim Miller (R-Prinsburg),  Representative Eric Lucero (R-Dayton), Representative John Poston (R- Lake Shore) Representative Steve Green (R- Fosston), and Senator Paul Utke (R- Park Rapids)  proposed a constitutional amendment that would state that the right to bear and keep arms shall not be infringed. [More]

Just think how well those words work at the federal level --  that oughtta stop the bastards in their tracks!

Plus, everybody gets mad gun props without having to actually -- you know -- do anything.

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Jaimes: Gun control failed Aurora, Illinois - The shooting in Aurora, Illinois, earlier this month should have been prevented under many of the state’s gun control laws. More legislation isn’t the answer to gun violence. [More]

In order of claims presented: Yep, only if you believe the fiction that "gun control" works,  and yeah, that's obvious to all but liars and useful idiots.
