Rush says skip the hearing and just go for the vote.

I think it would laughably infuriate them even more if it were done by a mail-in vote.

Oh, and the solution for "dysfunction" is to remove those responsible.

Now DEMOCRACY is Racist

 If he's talking majority rule with no unalienable individual rights, he's correct. [More]

But he's not, of course.

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover and all that, but why do these malcontent ideological freaks always look like they're insufferable @$$holes about everything?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise

 All of us want to know some key things: why wasn’t the suspect searched properly? How was he able to take out a gun, possibly hidden in his clothing, and shoot the sergeant? [More]

As usual, Yul is no help.

And speaking of the best laid schemes o' mice an' men:

We're the Only Ones Flushed with Success Enough

 San Luis Obispo Police Chief Deanna Cantrell, who has faced criticism for incidents ranging from losing her gun in a restaurant bathroom to her handling of Black Lives Matter protests, announced Thursday she is leaving the city of SLO to become the top cop of the Bay Area city of Fairfield. [More]

Again...?

Sounds to me like the vast majority of voters there are going to get exactly the policing competence they deserve.

On the Prowl

"We have seen an increase in hot prowl burglaries [burglaries in which an individual was present in the premise when the suspect entered], which is associated with the shelter-in-place order where more people are staying home than past years," SFPD spokesperson Tiffany Hang said. [More]

Gee, just like in Merrie Olde Disarmed England...

Judging Amy

 I received an email asking me about the RKBA positions of the women candidates for the Supreme Court. Here's my response:

With Trump's announcement, Barett is the candidate, singular...

I touched on what had been the two frontrunners in my latest Firearms News piece:

Of the two, Barrett has been pilloried by the unctuously “progressive” Slate as having a “fundamentally cruel vision of the law,” warning readers “there is no doubt that Barrett would dramatically expand the Second Amendment, invalidating gun control measures around the country.”

That said, Slate would object to anyone not fully on board with the gun grab agenda. 

Here are the GOA and NRA assessments.

None of this means she will be strong on "shall not be infringed" for everything that comes her way or have the same level of determination and understanding as informed gun advocates, and you can't rise to that level in the courts without being committed to stare decisis precedents. I doubt if she'll be sympathetic to core purpose militia arguments and expect she will make some statements in confirmation hearings that many will object to. 

I've also got concerns about her predispositions on "immigration," considering the Catholic Church is big on "refugee resettlement," her personal stake in that with the adopted Haitian children, and the legislative and judicial impacts we know that has on RKBA.

Bottom line: I expect we'll find out the specifics on all of this after she's been seated.

Well, if your primary goal was to make it home at the end of your shift, you'd pick this guy to be the one to go after, too.

Times-Dispatch Writer Gets It Exactly Backwards in Militia Article

 It’s not hard to imagine authorities triaged to those areas and efforts of greatest need. That means there will be no one to provide essential services, including policing, outside of those areas. How does it not make sense to have the good citizens of this country prepared and organized so that if and when the need arises, they have a structure and a chain of command they can coordinate with and receive direction from? How else would we maintain order in otherwise unserviced areas? [More]

Maybe instead of “Defund the Police,” the demand ought to be “Fund the Militia.”
