Assuming It's Really About 'Background Checks'

“The president expressed interest in getting a result, so conversations will continue to see if there’s a way to create a reasonable background check proposal, along with other ideas,” a White House official said. [More]

Well, if all they want is to make sure no one on the list can "legally" buy a gun, anyone advocating that who would reject BIDS immediately outs himself as a liar with a hidden agenda.

At Least He Didn't Shoot Them

A 40-year-old madman named Yu stabbed to death eight children, ages six through 13 years. At least two other children were injured. He had been released from prison in June after serving a sentence for attempted murder. [More]

Playing TAPS over Liberty's Corpse

Here's a collection of related articles on a scary sellout by many Republicans who have been sold to us as "conservatives." In this case, it looks like what they're trying to conserve and expand on is government power and control, building a Chinese "social credit" enforcement apparatus on steroids.

This Crenshaw character is quickly emerging as the perfect Trojan Horse.

• Republicans and Democrats Want to Make Minority Report a Reality in America
• The Tyranny Of TAPS - Hunting Down 'Future Threats'
• Congress Considering National Threat Assessment Program to Predict If You Pose a Threat
• How Liberty Dies
• McCain 2.0 Strikes Again: Dan Crenshaw Supports Gun Confiscation
• Pre-Crime Is Here: Law Enforcement's New TAPS System 'Predicts' If You Pose A Future Threat
• RINO Texas Congressman and ‘ACT! for America’ are Championing Pre-Crime Legislation - Big League Politics
• Red Flag Laws & TAPS Act 
• Texas Rep Dan Crenshaw Floats ‘Red Flag’ Firearms Law
• Gun Control Group Supports TAPS

The safety excuse rings hollow when you look at how the same people who want to add new chains are the ones responsible for the "need" to.

Help Wanted, Inquire Within (NJ)

Fighting for your 2A rights takes the work and dedication of many to meet the objective. Volunteering can come in so many ways. Do you have an hour you can spare? A day? A special talent you enjoy? We would like to talk with you. We are looking to expand our committees and keep the pressure mounting, but this requires your help.  [More]

It's tonight in East Brunswick.

You'll never know how rewarding it can be, what great new friends you'll make,  what disasters you can avert, and what battles you can actually win until you get involved like this.

And yeah, I know this is short notice-- I just learned of it myself. So if you can't make it, you still know how to contact these folks and hook up when you can.

Or you could just anonymously type "Molon Labe!"

News the Others Bury and Ignore

• “Hands up, don’t shoot” never happened, according to the Obama Justice Dept.
• Newly-released Fast and Furious documents (…still keeping government secrets)

In a rational world, this journalist would be a major figure at a major news organization. Or maybe in an honest world, which is the same thing if you think about it...

Just to be Consistent

Did you know that there are more fatal accidents involving children and bicycles than there are involving children and guns? [More]

So the commonsense bike safety answer must be to keep all knowledge of bicycles away from children and never teach them how to ride, right?

Welcome, Future Voters!

Responding to the fear that the Trump Administration might really cut the number of refugees to be admitted to the US in FY2020 (which begins on October 1, 2019) to zero, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Coons (D-DE) spear-headed a letter to the Secretary of State saying they want the President to “increase” the number of refugees to be admitted. [More]

Don't worry, I'm sure the admissions process will be rigorous.

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

Mediatricians

[O]nce again we see doctors – too often funded by activist groups – doing criminology research and producing deformed analytical offspring. Worse yet, many in the media picked up on the inaccurate conclusions to pen woefully inaccurate headlines... [More]
