We're the Only Ones Chopped Enough

...Michael Stout provided sensitive law enforcement information in 2019 to someone in the towing industry in exchange for $1,500 in cash and a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox.... "Stout talked about other officers who were making money in 'all kinda' ways, including by 'chopping cars,'" [More]

Anybody see anything in here we can chop off his hand for?

A Helping Hand

 A group of violent #BLM rioters who carried out a campaign of arson & vandalism in Atlanta to frame the Proud Boys & Trump supporters have been convicted in federal court. #Antifa groups called the prosecution “repression” against their comrades.  #HateHoax [More]

You racists not acting racist and forcing us to be racist for you is racist.

Guilt By Accusation

 On Friday, a federal judge halted an effort to disqualify Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) from running for office, based upon claims he ought to be barred from doing so according to the 14th Amendment. Lawsuits charged Cawthorn was an "insurrectionist" who supported those who participated in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.[More]

What's he been convicted of? Or are unapproved opinions enough to disenfranchise choices for voters who hold them?

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

 This is just Cox's latest move to meet the ire of social conservatives. [More]

On the one hand, he signed permitless carry.

On the other hand, he paves the road for new Democrats.

There's a Paula Abdul song in here somewhere.

Insecurity Blanket

The legislature does not intend to create a blanket ban, but only to limit the prospective sale or transfer of large capacity magazines, allowing existing legal owners to retain large capacity magazines for the purposes of defending themselves and their homes and using those large capacity magazines in other authorized locations. [More]
So they admit they're knowingly limiting the options of more citizens being able to defend themselves and their homes? How, in addition to being a tyrannical infringement, is this also not a privileges and immunities violation?

More to the point, how is this not aiding and abetting predators, and what kind of evil maniac would demand that?

These kinds:

Shannon & Co. mock, taunt, and blame over this. If you think about it, limiting our defense choices will actually work to their perverse advantage and up the death count they can exploit to push for even more bans.

A Conspicuous Absence

WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess got a donation solicitation email from Hung Cao, one of 10 Republicans running to represent Virginia's 10th Congressional District, and asks:

David,   Got a read, vis-a-vis 2A, on this guy?

Without digging any deeper, I note he doesn't consider it an important enough issue to mention it in his website's "Policies" section aside from the briefest of mentions about guns. His version of "the security of a free State" appears to be "Back the Blue" and the standing army, and if he brings RKBA up now, it will be a tactical afterthought.

I can't tell you about the others because I haven't had time to look. I may not do that because the incumbent is a doctrinaire gun-grabber Democrat who won last time by a landslide (56%-43%). We know from the Youngkin campaign that Republican "strategists" view bringing 2A up to the electorate as toxic, so I'm not sure putting more time into this is worth my while. 

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength Writ Large

 “When it comes to race, I am colorblind,” a slide shows a white male saying. The slide then explains that the message received is: “Denying the individual as a racial/cultural being.” “There is only one race, the human race,” another white male is depicted saying, the presentation flagging his statement as a “microaggression.” [More]

So is saying "All lives matter."

Just to be clear: Not being racist is racist.

And as for that last bit, who is it that insists that race is but a fictitious "social construct"?

"My race is incidental, To think otherwise is to buy into racial collectivism, which I refuse to do," Mike Vanderboegh wrote. "How is it that you refute one collectivism by adopting another?"

Especially when the ubiquitous in-your-face tactic is to brand anyone who is not a collectivist a racist.

And remember: If you didn't vote for Joe Biden, you ain't black.

If by that she means strap-on, I cede the point.

LaLaLa...I Can't HEAR You...

News flash: Shannon Watts DGAF About YOU [More]

She blocked me a long time ago. She doesn't want other leftists calling her out for siding with globalist corporations against minority plaintiffs. (And for the record, I've expressed doubts about those verdicts but it doesn't matter what I think. If her fellow travelers believed what they say, they'd be demanding her head.)

By the way, if she's blocked you, you can still use the incognito window feature to keep up with her and her useful idiot followers' latest madcap antics/acts of subversion.

Daily Defense Redux

Friday's discussion with Armed American Radio host Mark Walters:

That's His Best Shot?

 Peter Ambler, executive director of Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said it was "deeply irresponsible" for gun rights advocates to tie their "more guns everywhere" advocacy to the Ukraine crisis. [More]

Spoken like someone desperately trying to change the subject...

I guess when you have no real rebuttal, throwing a ball and hoping the weak-minded will chase after it at least distracts some.

Speaking of Systemic Racism...

Critics accuse the A.T.F.’s acting director, Marvin Richardson, of cozying up to gun industry leaders at a convention in Las Vegas and delaying enacting rules that would outlaw so-called ghost guns...  “A.T.F. needs a top-to-bottom overhaul,” said John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control group funded by former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York. [More]

So... get rid of the black guy, John?

That's not surprising, considering who you work for.

Bullet Points

An Arizona ammunitions company this week announced that it will send one million bullets to Ukraine following calls from Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky for more ammunition. [More]

"Real reporters"!

I also see some complaining about this because of the ammo situation here.

I support it. Real human beings are defending themselves and their homes in real-time. With everything that's been going on around us for years, if you don't have the supplies you deem adequate, that's not on anyone else.

When 'Republicans' No Longer Need You

 This bill would include in this prohibition, a misdemeanor conviction for child abuse, elder abuse, carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm in public, permitting the illegal carrying of a firearm in a vehicle, or openly carrying an unloaded handgun, as specified, that occurs on or after January 1, 2023. [More]

What an @$$hole. Sponsored by an enemy inside the gates who decided the electorate had been changed enough so that he could come out of the Democrat closet...

Child abuse will soon be modified to include objecting to CRT or not letting them go to the library for Drag Queen Story Hour. I believe simple corrective swat on the rear is already verboten.

I carried illegally in California for over 25 years because I could not get one of their "permits" to save my life -- literally. In all that time I never hurt a soul, although I did have to display (not point) once.

Meanwhile, the predatory products of their policies will stalk their hunting grounds undeterred.

Profiles in Apathy

 GRNC-PVF normally does well raising money to activate gun voters...  But not this year. So far, the response to our efforts has been pathetic. [More]
TINVOWOOT, right? Molon Labe?

I guess those are as good excuses as any for letting others do the work that is appropriate for right here, right now.

Talking Turkey

 A California mail carrier allegedly beat a turkey to death. Was it self-defense? [More]

Subjects who would cede their birthright to birds? The greasy-lipped masters are laughing like hell.

10 to 1 the loudest voices among outraged neighbors are personally frustrated single mom Democrats where the men knew better than to stick around.

That's Real Reporting!

 Two victims have been released from the hospital as of Friday afternoon. Hospital officials said one victim remains in critical condition. [More]

So the shooter is a "victim"?

The lesson here is it took a defender with a gun to stop the aggressor. For some reason, acknowledging that obvious truth really PO's the gun-grabbers.
