Time to Ban Inert Novelties

Just to be clear, if you think you have one they ask that you not mail it in.

Go Directly to Gulag. Do Not Pass Go.

 The truth of the matter is the state, the one thing that it’s really fundamentally supposed to do is have a monopoly on violence in the public square... [More]

Spoken like a true police statist.

Figures...

So does the venue.

Know Your Masters

Since they're going to be ruling us, I thought it might be helpful to understand what they want so we can best please them:


Oh, and we're going to need those guns.

There's a Storm Coming


With gun and ammo sales already through the roof, an anti-2A administration prepared to move into the White House, and now a flip in the Senate, we can all expect a wild ride for the next four years. ATF continues to impose their will on Federal Firearms Licensees around the country, and will only be emboldened and empowered by the new lawmakers. [More]

Not just "laws".

And we ain't seen nothin' yet. Believe it.

I've told WoG readers about FFLGuard many times over the years but just want to make it clear again: I'm not a paid pitchman for them.  I bring it to your attention because in a past life I was responsible for creating audit compliance documentation in highly regulated environments, and know that avoiding violations in the first place is better than paying the price for them.

And then there are the invented violations... 

Hell, if I had my way, there would be no demand for what they do because infringements would not be tolerated. Since that's not the world we're living in, if you're an FFL, take some time to look around and ask some questions.

The Missing Link

 Anybody remember this? [More]

If you do, how about pasting the link in "comments"?

More examples showing how denying the truth leads to catastrophe.

If such an edict is passed-- and seeing as how we're talking Virginia it bloody well could be -- it will be as effective as posting this sign, which I won't be surprised to see required, right down to defining size requirements:



NAACP’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Lies Won’t Die with DeWine’s Bill Approval

 

Case in point, note how before DeWine had signed the bill, ABC’s Cincinnati affiliate, WCPO9, was giving voice to demonstrably false claims by “the local chapter of the NAACP” (as an aside, shouldn’t it now be the “NAAPOC”?). [More]

Who thinks a leftist agenda smearing defense of self, community, and country as racist is really about "commonsense gun safety"?

Doing Away with Freedom Not the Answer

 No doubt we have a suicide problem in the United States, conceivably the world.  We’d be grossly saccharine and naive if we thought the removal of firearms from society would stop people from taking their own lives, the numbers don’t show that to be true.  Policymakers need to look to the quality of life issues and the expansion of our mental health system. [More]

That's assuming calculating minds behind the strategy are sincere about reducing suicide instead of exploiting it to advance monopoly of violence interests...

Everybody here remembers John Petrolino, right?

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

 The Firearm Industry is creating safer communities through partnerships with law enforcement, elected officials, and community leaders. [More]

You know, the ones who want to jail us if we defy their infringements and their enforcers.

Not to Put Too Fine a Point On It, But...

Is this a joke? Another NSSF happy meal for chumps. Kevin McCarthy was Ryan & Boehner’s waterboy, a streetwalker for the “US” Chamber, “cheap labor” & 1-way “free trade”, all of which are destroying gun rights. And he’s coup collaborator. When will conservatives and gun owners WAKE UP? [More]

Pretty much.

Wish I had time to see what their NumbersUSA scores are -- not that any of our "gun rights leaders" acknowledge that having anything to do with that "single issue"...

Thank You, Captains Obvious!

What's the Difference Between a 'Mostly Peaceful Protestor' and a 'Rioter'?


You know what they didn’t do? They didn’t kill anyone. That was reserved for someone who shot through a door sidelight at a protester.  You know what else they didn’t do? Use live ammo.  You know what else they didn’t do? Trample the flag, which the capitol police did, while being begged not to. You know what else they didn’t do? shine lasers in cops eyes, set fire to the building, loot it, or shoot fireworks at people. [More]

I see the "moderate" Republicans are doing their utmost to suck up to their Democrat overlords. A special "Cuck for Law and Order" award goes to CPAC’s Matt Schlapp, who looks like he'd also be Blubbering Cellmate Bitch of the Month if he ever runs afoul of the authoritarianism he so enthusiastically takes two knees for.

So now it's not just what you say on their platform that can get unapproved thoughts suppressed. 

@Jack must be feeling pretty good now that he sees the chances of a Section 230 mod approaching "0."

UPDATE: Not to be overly-imaginative or anything, but if we can't hear from Trump, how do we know where he is?
