We're Just Like You, Except Treasonous

Gifford Gun Grabbers Steal Blazing Sword Emails in Cheap Ploy to Trick Gun Owners [More]

Why not make turnabout fair play and alert FFLs to tell these gunkapos to get the hell out of their store?

The Shape of Things to Come

'Trump Supporters Targeted' - Gunshot Fired Into Arizona RNC Field Office  [More]

I sure wish you hateful right-wingers would tone down the rhetoric.

We're the Only Ones Standing Down Enough

Chicago Police Officers Ordered To No Longer Use Force To Disperse Large Gatherings [More]

How is this different from surrendering?  When need the most, they back down? So victims are now officially on their own?

But when they outnumber and outgun it's still cool?

This may actually turn out to be a good thing in a wake-up call kind'a way.

Koreatown Rules

Business owner defends store with rifles, handguns during Scottsdale looting [More]

They sure fared better than the "progressive" Apple Store, where they don't even like the thought of guns, didn't they?

This reminds me of another jeweler with a vested livelihood interest...

Whereas the corporate stores remind me of these tethered sheep...

You don't say:

Gosh, I wonder how Mark Kelly would rate...

Fortunately, this has nothing to do with that "single issue."  Just ask any national or state gun group.

The Universal Whine

"Give me liberty or give me death!" — so goes the universal whine, lifted from Patrick Henry's Virginia Convention speech in 1775. [More]

So it's the "right-wing rhetoric" that's wrongly provocative...?

And so much for insulated and provincial Marcie Bianco's understanding of just who she's poking.

It figures Opposite Day "progressives" would file this under a category labeled "Think."

Meeting Expectations

FIRED AFTER GIVING ANTI-TYRANT SPEECH, AFTER FIRST BEING CONGRATULATED BY HIS SUPERIORS? [Watch]

No surprise..., especially considering where he was.

Funny how that works.

If anyone knows a sheriff's department looking for someone with his principles, do what you can to get an employment dialog going.

Desperate for a Cause

GoFundMe is currently collecting money for Dallas Salon owner Shelley Luther despite the fact money raised would be outside their own Terms of Service. [More]

The faithless elector strikes again!

#StayAtHome Suprun must be bored following his own advice and desperately looking for something to snitch and bitch about.

Something about "unless such activities are expressly authorized by the appropriate governmental authority" strikes me as exactly backwards of the way things should be.

As Opposed to 'Progressive' Obsession with Control?

MSNBC Contributor: Americans’ Obsession with Freedom... [More]

I'm sure he could find things more to his liking in India...

This seems to be a new talking point because I've had occasion to mention  Patrick Henry several times in the past week.

We Can Dance if We Want To

The reason why these first responders have so much free time on their hands is because the coronavirus pandemic has not lived up to the hype pushed by the fake news fear machine and the so-called scientific experts. [More]

Plus, heroes live for applause.

Throwing Good Money After Bad

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is calling on Congress to provide more federal funding to fight gun violence, which has continued during the COVID-19 hustle. [More]

He's part of this scam.

Is Life So Dear, or Peace So Sweet?

We must prize our right to live over our liberties, for now, as COVID-19 spreads [More]

And if you defy us, we'll deploy armed details authorized to escalate the continuum of force up to and including lethal.

Since Iowa View contributor Steven Pokorny is the one seeking justification from the words of the Founders, what do you think Patrick Henry would have thought of his counsel?

Speaking in the Old Tongue

New Jersey desperately needs COBOL Programmers. That’s what the State’s Governor, Phil Murphy, apparently meant today, when he said at a press conference that the State needed volunteers who with “Cobalt” computer skills to help fix 40-year-old-plus unemployment insurance systems that are currently overwhelmed as a result of COVID-19-related job losses. [More]

At 62, Murphy's been around long enough to where that mistake is pretty much inexcusable for someone who had a career in finance. It makes me wonder what else he's faked his way through, along with who he knew, who he blew and who he screwed.

The wife has made a good living as a contractor with COBOL and other archaic skill sets over the last 3+ decades.  It's surprising how many have not transitioned. She'll be wrapping up her current assignment in August. I'll show her this for info, but I ain't moving to New Jersey.

Thank You, Captains Obvious

PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES MUST STILL PROTECT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF AMERICANS [More]

Conservative Action Project, eh? A question attributed to Stalin comes to mind.

I don't mean to be a smart@$$, but when I see coalition members like Legal Immigrants for America, I have to wonder how many of the signatories share in culpability for bringing this down upon our heads in the quest for "cheap labor."

UPDATE: WarOnGuns Correspondent Henry says I owe LIFA an apology. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong and confess I did a kneejerk based on "What's in a name?" So I am heartily sorry but my wonderment still stands. If they're all pals, I guess I need to humble myself to all.

Typhoid Mary vs. Lysander Spooner Death Match

Galveston County Judge Mark Henry says the county won't follow in Harris County's footsteps regarding the closure of bars and restaurants. Henry says the order is "illegal," and is not something he is contemplating. [More]

This is a tangentially-related expansion of a conversation I attempted to start yesterday, and also extends to the Bay Area closure of "nonessential" businesses, including, evidently, gun stores. (Speaking of which, I am informed there are no SF gun stores, but that's beside the point as the story I linked to said "6 counties," and there are plenty of stores there.)

Add to that objections I am seeing elsewhere about tyrannical abridgement of the right to peaceful assembly, and we have a situation where that old cop-out, "agreeing to disagree," won't cut it.

At what point am I contagious and dangerous enough to justify you shooting me if I come any closer?

I'm sure some would say "Right now" just over ideology.

I invite relevant insights.

About That 'Single Issue'...

"Twelve radical Democrats in Arizona have introduced shocking legislation, Senate Bill 1625, which would flagrantly violate the Bill of Rights and American civil liberties. Not only do these extremists seek to disarm citizens, leaving them without the ability to defend their families, themselves, or their property, they also directly attack Arizona jobs and the Arizona economy by seeking to unlawfully ban gun manufacturing in Arizona. [More]

If they don't get what they want now, Rep. Gosar, they'll get it later.

Thank you for being one of the few who understand why.
