Just Great

I haven't seen the briefs filed in this, but have to say the emphasis, from this report, that the main argument was it would create a national registry doesn't seem particularly compelling to me, either. [More]

Of course, having a Bush the Elder judge joined by Carter and Clinton appointees should fill no one with hope except those looking for legal precedents to skin us with.

Now all SCOTUS has to do is ...nothing.

New NRA videos emphasize importance of expanding support now and for the future

That interest in gun rights should be fostered and supported among women and the next generation is self-evident...  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column provides two tools to help do that.  All you need to do is pick them up and use them, that is, watch and share them.

We're the Only Ones Dolt-Action Enough

Thank goodness New York has strict "gun control"! [More]

The thing I don't understand is, if one of us shot someone in the back -- in Queens -- for trying to steal our car, do you think we'd still be around a year later with or without guns in our trunk?

Armed march on D.C. canceled [More]

I never really thought it was "on."

Predicting a "Gotcha" Before It Happens

Not satisfied with attacking NRA for what they do, Joshua Sager is wetting himself over the prospect of what they MIGHT do. [More]

I don't suppose it strikes this idiot that if the plastic technology proves viable to be anything other than a curiosity for other idiots like Steve Israel to hemorrhage over, some existing gun manufacturers will jump on the bandwagon and new ones would be created.

Typical of "progressives" though--they refuse to acknowledge that capitalism/free markets expand opportunities.

Fighting Toomey-Manchin Gun Registration

GOA put out an email alert that does not appear on their website. Since I don't copy and paste entire emails on this blog, and since if I just summarize it and can't link you to the original you'll miss key information, I took the liberty of creating a pdf file and posting it at my Scribd account.

I run into this with a lot of activist group emails, particularly state groups, and urge them to create a place on their websites or on document storage sites like Scribd so that those of us who wish to support them but don't want to post an entire email can simply give our readers a link to the complete message.

Click here to read the GOA alert.

See? Now it can be shared on blogs and posted on social media like Facebook and Twitter.

Now YOU can share it.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

As folks around here will recall, I was strongly opposed to Holder’s nomination... [More]

Me too.  But those with the clout to make a difference didn't think it was worth expending the "political capital," whatever the hell that really means, and not enough "internet activists" lifted a finger to urge them otherwise.

Everything's Free in America

Hey, at least they're taking a firm stand on using EBT cards at strip clubs and casinos! [More] 

I see evil racist Fox News is still using the offensive term "illegal immigrant" instead of "undocumented Democrat."

My favorite is those who would remold and control introducing the term "DREAMers."  It sounds so much nicer than "generational biological warfare."

This Day in History: May 31

Part of the Virginia Light Horse crossed at Fredericks[burg] on Tuesday night; the Marquis' Troops (who are not strong enough for an action) were expected there last night, unless prevented by the enemy. Lord Cornwallis with the main body of the British army was at Hanover Court House (scarce fifty miles from Fredericksburg) on Tuesday morning, their object, no doubt, to defeat the Marquis' Troops before General Waine came up, or to prevent the junction: this intelligence comes from an officer sent express to General Waine and may be relied on. I think if the winds permit we may expect their fleet up this river in a very few days. Our situation in Virginia is truly critical and dangerous; a very few weeks, unless the enemy can be checked, will place Maryland in the same predicament. Nothing can speedily extricate the two States but the arrival of a strong French fleet which there is reason to expect every day. [More]

Anti-gun 'Demanding Moms' group fails to provide grassroots transparency

The antis know they can’t take our guns from us, so they’ve got to engage in deception to con people into believing momentum and political demand are on their side, and elite mother-fronters like Bloomberg have the wealth, the organization, the technical resources, the media reach and the political clout to produce powerful illusions to that effect. Once we realize that, we can see it’s all about masking the AstroTurf through a sophisticated technological and psychological exploitation of primal responses. [More]

Rather than appearing formidable, self-styled puffed-up alpha chimps caught hiding behind skirts come off as pathetic, ridiculous and sick.

Here's Why

Why Rational People Buy Into Conspiracy Theories [More]

1. Because conspiracies do exist.
2. Because the government is heavily populated with guilty liars.

So it figures their "Authorized Journalist/Legitimate Media" cheerleaders would be pushing the "It's all in your head" line.  Between that, cultural conditioning and exploiting confusion with disinformation, opportunities to direct and misdirect abound.

Just Imagine!

Everyone involved in this needs to go into the dock now and face prosecution. Specifically, the question that must be answered is under who's direction was this intentional deception fomented, constructed and executed? This is grand jury material and one must be empaneled now. [More] 

Yeah. Just imagine a prosecutor withholding evidence and not only being allowed to get away with it, but being advanced toward a federal judgeship!  Which reminds me, I need to find out when a full vote is expected...Gonzales' name showed up on the May 16 Executive Calendar and also on the upcoming June 3 list of nominees.  Not being familiar with these documents or the arcane rituals of the political priesthood, I'm not sure what they're telling me.

Anybody know?
