Heavily armed hitman of rival El Chapo cartel is arrested over Mormon massacre after a stand-off at the US border where he held two HOSTAGES as heartbreaking photos show devastated relatives visiting the scene of the massacre [More]

Damned lax American gun laws!

Don't expect this to change.

Or this.

Any gun owners still out there putting it all on the line for that idiot Ammon Bundy?

UPDATE--Tangentially related:

A tiny cabal of government contractors, mostly religious groups cloaking their profit-seeking in compassion and Scripture, perpetuates the refugee resettlement racket. Openly hostile to American sovereignty, these people spread their tax-subsidized syndicate's wealth to a vast network of subcontractors, often tied to billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundations, which promote global governance and unfettered migration espoused by the United Nations, European Union and Vatican.

A-yup.

The Myth of the Unarmed Man

If you don't believe media bias plays a role in how Americans interpret use of force by law enforcement, try this simple test. Do a Google search for "police officer kills unarmed man." I did and I got 179,000 results. Searching "Police officer shoots unarmed man" returned 205,000 results. Finally, I flipped the search around and typed, "unarmed man attacks police officer." I got this message: "No results found." [More]

Make sure you put the terms in quotation marks.

Here's another useful search to corroborate the justification for not allowing yourself to be attacked: "killed by punch".

The good thing about guns, as many who have been through a DGU can attest, is their presentation is often enough to make a potential attacker reconsider so the situation is resolved without coming to blows or worse. That's a good thing.

If an assailant will not allow that to happen, well, I have this saying. I'm not going to let some moron sociopath put my life and/or health at risk if I can stop him instead, using whatever means at my disposal to get the job done.

Whatever means. My experienced friend will attest to that.

You'll note no "Only Ones" title for this post. Just as I don't support police having special immunities withheld from We the People, I don't expect them, as individual human beings first, to have any fewer.

An Educated Man

He must be, to mix his judgments in with public policy. [More]

I'm sure Milton Agurs would be happy to share his qualifications/ credentials and cite references to support that unique historic view he uses to justify denying rights to his countrymen.

Wouldn't you, Milton?

Which reminds me: Everybody see this?

Lone Star Legislation

Introduced by newly re-elected Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington), House Bill 176 (HB176) declares all federal restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms to be "invalid" and "not enforceable" within the state of Texas. [More]

Doesn't look like he has any co-sponsors yet, but the "text" tab is active if you want to read the bill.

We know how the feds responded to Firearms Freedom Acts in Tennessee and Montana, and we also know who doesn't want to get involved (and how). I've actually been remiss in following up on more recent developments, so if you're interested, you can keep up with developments here.

I've been asked what I think.

If a critical mass of gun owners were serious about defending their right to keep and bear arms, we'd be invincible and wouldn't need to dick around with political half measures.

And it looks like the rights-hater is a tax-feeder.

Looks like the library doesn't want to be bothered.  I wonder if the cached page works.

Alternatively, it looks like Minnesota allows open carry if you have a permit.  I wonder if she really wants to invite a counter-demonstration on the public sidewalk in front of that sign. It's not like the news didn't just tell everybody, including those who may be inclined to exploit a gun-free home, exactly where they can find it.

UPDATE: The cached page does work for sending messages to the library.

We're the Only Ones All Charged Up Enough

Officer Kenneth Simon, 49, was charged today with perjury, official oppression, conspiracy, theft, obstruction and other charges for his role in a July drug bust at a North Side car wash. Officer Anthony Scarpine, 58, was charged with conspiracy, obstruction, official oppression and unsworn falsification to authorities. [More]

Two old guys? Can we assume that means they've been allowed to get away with "few bad appling" for some time?

Sgt. Wilson said the gunman was Jeffrey Grahn, 46, of Boring, a sergeant with the Clackamas County sheriff's office for the past 15 years. [More]

You know, one of the "Only Ones" we can trust to carry guns in eating and drinking establishments.

Just ask the Bradys. They'd be absolutely horrified at the prospect of a citizen being able to drop this badged mad dog in his tracks.

Or better yet, ask this guy. He could use the paid time off.

We're the Only Ones "You've Got Mail" Enough

Schaffer admits that he later sent similar photos (both nude and "partially nude") of himself back to the woman—using, believe it or not, "computer equipment belonging to the Goddard Police Department and the citizens of Goddard, Kansas." The coup de grace? He sent the e-mails when he was on duty. He also tried twice to have the local prosecutor dismiss the charges against the woman. [More]

And his excuse is she sent him pictures too, so he wasn't the only one doing it...?

We're the Only Ones Getting Charged for Wild Phone Sex Enough

Red Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter was formed in 2013 by three self-styled “Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries,” who selected as their movement icon convicted cop-killer and Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur. Shakur had fled to Cuba after being convicted of the homicide she committed when her car was stopped for a broken tail-light by two New Jersey state troopers. Without any warning, Shakur shot trooper Werner Foerster. The 34-year- old Vietnam veteran was lying wounded on the ground pleading for his life, when Shakur walked over and executed him. Officer Foerster left a widow and a three-year-old son. Black Lives Matter activists refer to the murderer as “our beloved Assata Shakur” and chant her words as a ritual, “at every meeting, every event, every action, every freeway we’ve shut down, every mall we’ve shut down.”  The chant is this: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” The last line is lifted directly from the conclusion to the Communist Manifesto, a document and war cry that has led to the murders of millions. [More]

That is what enemies foreign and domestic, and the useful idiots they exploit, are taking a knee for.

EXCLUSIVE: Donations, Including International Funding, to BlackLivesMatter.com Go Directly to the DNC – This Is Money Laundering

I'm skeptical that this is a complete picture and an accurate representation and am wondering about a distinction between campaigns and charities not being depicted. I'd love to have that proven unfounded, but I'll be surprised if it is.

What a Fudgehead

Let me just say very quickly on them opening things: You know they opened up the beauty salons and barber shops, the bowling alleys and the movie theaters. When they open up the country clubs and the tanning spas, then I’ll know it’s safe for the rest of us. [More]

I don't suppose reality would have any effect on any constituent racist and dumb enough to vote for this lying parasite:

"[B]usinesses that remain closed ... Personal appearance/beauty services ... bowling alleys ... Movie theaters..."

And yes, of course. It's not like anyone had to ask.

Drama Queen Demands Attention Even in Death

David Hogg has officially been clear: If he’s assassinated, he wants his corpse to decorate the doorstep of the NRA’s headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia. This is, of course, after activists do a photo shoot with it for propaganda purposes. [More]

And here I thought he was going to ascend into the clouds, the way this narcissistic little useful idiot perceives his significance.
