‘Everytown’ Facebook poster providing lesson about assumptions

What gave the poster special credibility for this correspondent is because the level of ignorance it displays has been seen before over the years. Similar blunders had been pointed out in two related posts on The War on Guns blog. One demonstrated cluelessness by “Authorized Journalists” who ran a photo of an Iraqi woman holding two rounds of unfired ammunition she claimed hit her house. The other, from budding college journalists, featured a handgun “firing” complete cartridges as a front page headlined centerpiece. [More]

After much scrambling, we may be closer to what happened and how, but at this point, nothing would surprise me.

NOTE: About "Today's GRE"

I've taken mine down pending an investigation of Bob Owens' report.

Oh Lord It's Hard to be Humble

So it's in the species' interest if food is more expensive and if we stop reproducing.  [More]

How very "progressive."

We're the Only Ones Wiping That Smile Off Your Face Enough

Jim Ardis, mayor of Peoria, Illinois, ordered police to track down whoever was responsible for a parody Twitter account mocking him. [More] 

And they didn't tell him to go to hell...?

It's not like he, they and Senator RINO Gungrabber have anything better to do with all that plunder...

Chamber of Cowards

Oh look: "Moderate" Republicans! [More]

Because "Purge" is Such a "Progressive" Term

If by "progressive" you mean "Bolshevik." [More]

Funny Typical, how the Prozis all decry Joe McCarthy and the "Hollywood blacklist," but can't wait to carry out purges of their own.

They'd do real ones if they could. That's why they want our guns.

When Harry Met Mike

Joe Newby wrote a great article. [More]

The Problem with Tepid "Conservatives"

But this is a republic, dammit — and those who hope to keep it cannot pick and choose the provisions with which they are willing to deign to comply. [More]

You go ahead and turn in your guns when ordered to then.

It's just that basic, dammit.

This guy is all words, and irrelevant to freedom.

Important SSI Posts

Mike was busy over the Easter weekend.

• Here's his Patriots Day speech.
• Here's an award that will not only look good on Harry's shelf, it'll help wash off all that blood he evidently wants to get on his (proxies) hands.
• Here's his latest from the ground report as he prepares to fly out.

It's be a lot simpler if you just made SSI a regular place to stop and learn, and encouraged others to do so as well.

This Day in History: April 20

The inclosed papers which I have the Honor to transmit to your Excellency, contain a State of Facts, with their Testimonials, respecting the Death of Capt. Joshua Huddy, who after being a prisoner some Days with the Enemy in N. York, was sent out with a party of Refugees, & most cruelly & wantonly hanged on the Heights of Middletown. [More]

Gabriel Razzano: ‘Ineligible’ in NY, and Fighting Back

In other words, an American citizen, with no criminal charges against him, no convictions, no mental health diagnoses, no adjudication of any kind, was stripped of his supposedly Second Amendment-guaranteed rights essentially because he exercised those promised in the First Amendment. [More]

This is what happens when others presume to dictate to us which rights they'll allow.  Or I should say, when WE allow them to do that through obedience...

Flyers calling for registration of Jews in Ukraine provide chilling reminder of past

Still, some would insist that murderous totalitarianism "could never happen here," ignoring a bloody documented history of the world that irrefutably confirms "evil governments did wipe out 170,000,000 innocent non-military lives in the 20th Century alone."

That's not only a form of (potential) holocaust denial; it's a denial of observable reality.[More]

Go beyond the media rumors and explore the deeper principles in this latest JPFO alert.

A Celebrity Endorsement

Reid domestic terrorism charge would disarm ideological opponents if acted upon

Does he truly wish for those whom he politically disagrees with to forever lose federal recognition of their right to keep and bear arms?[More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes what would happen if “true champion of the Second Amendment” Harry Reid’s advocacy for treating Bundy Ranch supporters as “domestic terrorists” were acted upon.

Observations on BLM

Chris Woodard looks at constitutionality. [More]

Prozi Tolerance

What is it about "gun rights prevention" advocates...?  Aside from the fact that they would love to have their murderous fantasies actualized (by others)?

Technicalities

Weinstein ruled that the search warrant did not specify which unit in the multi-family home was to be searched, thereby making what cops found in Wiggins’ home inadmissable. [More]

Funny, how Weinstein doesn't care about pesky legalities when he gets a chance to put the hit on gun makers.

And as for Liberty Lynchin' Patrick, maybe he should have just claimed the suspects lifted a finger at his guys, and saved everybody a court date...?

A Properly Prepared Form

Plus it's legible! [More]

I've thought about monkeywrenching things by having people fill out forms but entering wrong data, like names, addresses, serial numbers, etc., so that it's not readily apparent and time and effort gets expended processing them.  Bonus points would be awarded to those casting the eye of Sauron on "gun rights prevention" drones and MILMs...
