It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Friendly' Is

The Most (And Least) Gun-Friendly Tyrannical States [More]

There, I fixed it for them.

Actually, No

Actually enforcing the well-defined laws on the books is far more effective than trying to ban things for everybody in the country. [More]

He had me agreeing until he rolled out the stupid.

Doubling Down

African Americans in Chicago face double scourge: Coronavirus and gun violence [More]

Now that's "real reporting"!

Using loaded terms like "plagued by gun violence" and "the epidemic of gun violence" certainly does serve to deflect attention from those responsible.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

And ABC News.

Hostile Takeover

Virginia's voter ID law has been repealed, Election Day is now a state holiday and access to early voting has grown. Lee-Jackson Day has been repealed as a way to keep the same number of state holidays. [More]

Gee, what happened?

Good thing that has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Just Because You Don’t Take an Interest in Politics Doesn’t Mean Politics Won’t Take an Interest in You

For political reasons, the administrative state is opposing the very prophylaxis they recommended in 2005 for this disease. [More]

Whether it was Pericles who really said that or not, there's an undeniable truth to it.

The next things to consider are what that interest is and why.

Pork Out

‘IT’S GOING TO BE DEVASTATING’: One Of The Country’s Largest Pork Processing Facilities Is Closing [More]

Me and my imagination, right, Cydney?

Irreconcilable Differences

Separate NYC from Upstate, Central NY and Western NY [More]

Funny, how just about everybody supports leaving an abusive partner when it's one-on-one...

We're the Only Ones Sympathetic Enough

Deaths were compassionate, not criminal, police say [More]

Well, it was technically a crime, but whether or not it was a rational one certainly does open the door to some spirited discussion.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

British police chiefs in the year 2020. Excellent at searching your grocery bags for “non-essential” food. Not quite so good at stopping rape gangs. [More]

Why did Americans die saving these people again...?

Gretchen Knows Best

Like someone else who ruled with a phone and a pen, Michigan’s Gov. Gretchen “Half” Whitmer has decreed that gun shops have no “essential” purpose during a national emergency. As such, she wants to close the retailers and cease firearm sales across Michigan in the face of the Chinese coronavirus crisis. [More]

She won't let you grow food, either.

Boy, she sure is popular!

Not Helping

Asked what he thought people were scared of, Lacasse answered with a laugh, “Everything. They’re buying guns and ammunition so they can go home and sit on their couch and defend their stash of toilet paper from the pending apocalypse.” [More]

Way to be a tool.

UPDATE: Looks like Bills doesn't want the Gun Room to be the only place where obnoxious managers diss their customers' motives and competence to a hostile press.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors

The Illegal and/or Unconstitutional Actions of President Barack Obama, Part 1 [More]

Yeah, remember that push to impeach?

I'll update this with a link to Part 2 when it's up.

UPDATE: As promised...

What's There to 'Mull' About?

Montgomery mulls ‘sanctuary’ for gun owners [More]

They "agreed to consider"?

That certainly makes me wonder about the credibility and motivation$ for headlines like this.

Why does the word "teajackers" come to mind?

Location, Location, Location

Specifically, Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) have requested guidance regarding whether they may verify customer identity and permit the completion of paperwork, including for purposes of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; accept payment; and deliver firearms or ammunition to customers (collectively, “the requested activities”) in the following settings: (1) a drive-up or walk-up window or doorway on the FFL’s property; (2) a temporary table or booth located in a parking lot on the FFL’s property; and (3) a nearby space that is not located on the FFL’s property. [More]

"[P]rovided, the activity ... would not violate any State law or published ordinance applicable at the place of sale, delivery, or other disposition..."?

You mean all the high-fiving about a great 2A victory is much ado about nothing and we're dreaming if we think the feds are going to enforce our rights against local tyrant-level infringements?

Wait... It Applies to US...?

Virus-Panicked Liberal Gun Buyers Are Getting Angry When They Discover Their Own Gun Control Laws [More]

A-yup.

That's why the swindlers are getting desperate.

UPDATE: Sharp-eyed reader Peter U. caught this:

At least they didn't use one of those .20 mm rifles.

Going Through Channels

Lies of Omission is now on Amazon Prime. [More]

If you subscribe, it's included at no extra charge.

Here's the back story.

Speaking of Racist and Xenophobic

Africans living in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou say they have been evicted from their apartments and refused entry to restaurants as part of a xenophobic campaign against black people that is ostensibly aimed at curbing the transmission of coronavirus. [More]

Fortunately, they have the means to control the narrative, meaning soon, it won't have happened at all.

And if you call it "Wuhan flu," guess what the newsraper of record says that makes you.

Para los Niños

VILE ACT Mom’s boyfriend ‘repeatedly tortured two children with Taser, belt and pliers in sickening attack’ - A MAN allegedly Tasered two kids aged 11 and 13 - strangling one with a rope until he passed out. Angel Coronado, 36, tortured both, using pliers and beating them repeatedly with his fist and belt, allege cops in Phoenix. [More]

Mom sounds like quite the prize herself.

Hey, would it be racist or xenophobic if I wondered if this was the only area in which Angel was illegal?

Yeah, yeah, I know -- what's that have to do with guns?

Easter 2020

Have a blessed day and ponder a bit on forgiveness and redemption, and on our place as givers and recipients.
