McSally Forth Again

[Right click.new tab]

Jeez, it seems like we just got done with some industrial-strength snake-tonguing, and now we get this bit of noncommital weaseling.

I've always found "Rest assured" has pretty much the same effect as "Trust me."

I'm not assured and I won't rest.

You Can't Stop the Signal

“About a third of all firearms seized in Southern California now are unserialized, and that is expected to grow,” Ginger Colbrun, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles region’s ATF office, told The Times in August. [More]

Words of encouragement for those of us who aim to misbehave...

Preaching to Deaf Ears

Deaf 'Islamic convert' is named as Paris police HQ attacker: IT worker who fell out with supervisor 'over dealing with women' slaughters four colleagues, including female officer, with a knife before being shot dead [More]

Sorry, my ADD is kicking in again. I'm fixated on wondering how he hears the call to prayer. That and this...

We're the Only Ones Electrifying Enough

A pair of Texas armed government workers were caught on camera – their own body cameras – committing multiple crimes, including the “drive-by” Tazering of a man they later arrested and charged with attempting to flee, which he hadn’t as a matter of law because he hadn’t been given the chance to not-flee. He wasn’t told to stop or that he was under arrest. [More]

Which sparked an investigation where they were charged with battery...

I guess I should apologize for that.

RED FLAG Gun Laws: Connecticut Man’s Firearms Seized Because His SON Shared a Meme on Facebook [More]

As long as we're closing loopholes, how about if someone in your house could give a disqualifying answer to any of the questions on a 4473?

Why Do You Think We Call It 'Tyranny'?

Can the government constitutionally outlaw the types of rifles used by the El Paso and Dayton killers? In a word: No.  [More]

It says "shall not be infringed" for a reason.

And ditto for "Red Herring Laws."

It would be a criminal act to enforce them and it's past time to remind those who would of legal precedents.

We're the Only Ones Virtual Enough

Texas deputy sheriff charged with cyberstalking girl he met playing Minecraft when she was 12 [More]

It sounds like he wanted to add a whole new meaning to the word "meatspace."

Do as He Says, Not as He Does

The workers began demanding a raise in May, arguing that Sanders, who has made a $15 federal minimum wage a centerpiece of his campaign, should honor that commitment in compensating his own staff. [More]

They haven't figured out that commies who extol the virtues of workers have never worked a day in their lives, are career parasites and expect others to give everything while they never contribute a thing besides their demands?

'I Will Not Comply'

Kiwis Just Say No To Gun Ban - In the wake of the Christchurch mosque massacres, gun confiscation fizzles as Kiwis ignore new law. [More]

As noted before on several occasions, the ricebowl gun groups don't quite know what to do with such people, aside from joining with "progressives" by calling them "extremists." That's because those in it strictly for the liberty don't send out emails to lists asking for money, or selling merchandise, or offering gunprizes to induce people to do the right thing out of covetousness instead of principle, or sending "fax blasts" to stuff the pockets of spammers, divert resources from the gullible who will then feel like they've done their part, and amuse corrupt legislators in safe districts.

I see a poster that could use an update...

The problem, of course, is they some of them bring the same nest-fouling proclivities with them.

Entirely Preventable

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office said 56-year-old Mark Edwin Turner was charged with felony malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon. [More]

So he'd already proven he couldn't be trusted without a custodian?

Hoist on Their Own Petard

It doesn't strain the imagination to surmise that the prospect of splitting up Google Search and its ad businesses wasn't well received in Mountain View. And Amazon's executives probably aren't too welcoming of a proposal to bar the company from selling directly on its own marketplace. [More]

A government big enough to "regulate" your enemies is big enough to "regulate" you.

I would not look for a sudden change of heart and newfound "conservatism," though. After being publicly sodomized by DOJ, Bill Gates went all Stockholm Syndromed for Big Government on us, and I expect Bezos 'n Zuck et al. to embrace the haze.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...

“I’m not asking members of the public to suddenly jump in to assist police officers because we are highly trained in what we do. But what I’m trying to get across is the simple fact that society has changed so much lately that it seems to be OK [to be] more interested in mocking us and filming us.” [More]

To paraphrase Capt. Butler, you deserve to be mocked, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Say It Ain't So!

“The Non-Violence Torrent” is an initiative that, according to themselves, aims to disrupt the 3D-printed gun market. They plan to do this by flooding popular file sharing sites with fake gun CAD files and torrents. [More]

Anti-gunners resorting to LIES...?

This is going to take me some time to process.

Damned if They Do, Damned if They Don't?

• Facebook censors too much. 
• Facebook doesn't censor enough.

Of course, the point of view depends on if you believe truth trumps offended sensibilities of subversive enemies of Western civilization, or if you're a member of the UK Parliament. Notwithstanding that, I do like the term "digital gangsters."

Casting a Wide Net

The Boston Globe has sued the state to obtain birth and marriage data of Massachusetts residents spanning a period of decades [More]

Might as well make those background checks "universal"...

It sounds like they want someone else to do the work and foot the bill, like typical cheap-ass socialists.

We're the Only Ones Letting No Good Deed Go Unpunished Enough

Police tow Maryland man's car after stopping to help victims in fatal crash [More]

I believe we'd see less of this crap if "reporters" made it standard practice to include officer names in their stories -- and if there were a requirement that departments can't withhold them.

This"progressive women's champion" also trivialized Paula Jones' complaint and evidence against Al Franken.

Do Not Attempt to Adjust Your Attitude

They removed my fundraising video at Defcad.com and my press release ... Actually, I'm looking and they removed every ghostgunner video and Defcad video I've ever made. [More]

We are controlling transmission.
