Feed the Troll

Comment left under my latest TTAG piece:
Hopefully a full fledged “Gun-rights” terrorist nut bag will waltz into the NRA headquarters and blast up the place, then we might see.them change there tune and fight for a no sell registry.
I look on "common sense gun safety advocates" like "Willy_Lunchmeat," who give us these little glimpses of what they're all about, as a gift.

Seller, Out Thyself

Just a few days before the universal gun owner registration bill kicks in, it appears that the Oregon State Police are planning on collecting data on sellers of guns, not just buyers. [More]
You know who they can't require that of, right?

Now That You've Walked Out of Our First Performance, Here's Act Two


Except the legally-required fine print says "No Purchase Necessary," not that I expect anything but self interest über alles from rapping "architect" MC Rove:

He can't be beat because he's so white from his head to his feet.
Yeah, really.

And there's something else the fine print says:
The Promotion is open only to U.S. citizens, or lawful permanent U.S. residents who are legal residents (green card holders) of the 50 United Sates, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia...
So the ones cleaning up after them will need to wait a bit.

The Economist

An understandable impulse to self-defence is nevertheless mistaken [More]
The unknown author is a real contender for a Cheshire Award ...

About Last Night

More than anything else, a Thomas Pynchon quote comes to mind. Especially while watching the Luntz post-game wrap-up.

Anyone who's read my past assessments of him knows I'm no Trumpeter. But after watching last night's total and undisguised virtual assassination attempt by Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace, and continued (and wholly unjustified) crowing by Liz Peek and other establishment media whores in their desperate attempts to manipulate public opinion, my low opinion of controlled opposition Faux News just sank even deeper.

These media conspirators-- what else would you call them? -- aren't really attacking The Donald -- he's just an avatar for people attracted to him because they're sick and tired of all the evil bullshit and don't know where to turn, but know it's not toward the RINOs. Those are the ones the elitists really have contempt for.

It looks from where I'm sitting, despite desperate attempts to convince everyone otherwise, like the hit job backfired and all the damage was from blowback. Look for the politics of personal destruction to go to the next level. And if that doesn't work, I won't be surprised to see things get even more personal.

The Rest of the Story

A group of residents in northern Idaho lined up outside a U.S. Navy veteran's house on Thursday to protest claims that federal officials are planning on confiscating the man's weapons. [More]
Oath Keepers were there. Once again taking point.

You know who the guy at the start of the video looks like? Anthony Bosworth. Who once again leads by example.

Cornyn’s NRA-Backed Mental Health Bill Needs to Address Key Questions


It would help if we knew what protections equivalent to those provided in a jury trial that will provide. Specifically, will decisions rely on those who may have biases of their own, as can currently be the case, with ATF’s “clarifying the term ‘adjudicated as a mental defective’ to mean a determination by a court, board, commission or other lawful authority,” and with some states applying even broader “standards”? [More]
Since when does throwing a scrap of flesh to a pack of circling jackals encourage them to do anything but close in for more? To expect otherwise is just crazy.

Speaking of Mad Men and GUNS...


My "Rights Watch" column, "Mad Men," notes how professional illusion creators spread anti-gun madness. The October 2015 (yeah, really) issue of GUNS Magazine is now on sale at newsstands everywhere except, probably, Madison Avenue.

We're the Only Ones Learning from the Best Enough

I see a Lee Paige Scholarship in this young padawan's future... [More]

We're the Only Ones Showering You with Attention Enough

Arizona cop illegally enters home, arrests naked woman: ‘I was in the shower! What is wrong with you? [More]
There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them.

Think of the Possibilities!

Yeah, let's mandate RF-activated "smart guns"! [More]

With Friends Like These, Part Two

Everybody who's supportive or surprised, raise your right hoof. [More]

Defending the Defenders Redux

I want to make sure all Oath Keepers learn about my latest GUNS Magazine piece on Operation Protect the Protectors so they can use the exposure to further raise awareness. [More]

It's the Pits

Oh, I'm sorry -- The Pit. [More]

Same difference.

Grilling while unarmed... wait 'til I tell Mark and The Mad Ogre...

[Via Geordan]

UPDATE: Without missin' a beat here... that is funny.
UPDATE 2: I'll be joining Mark Walters on Armed American Radio's Daily Defense this afternoon at 4:45 Eastern to talk about this. Click here to find a station near you or to listen via live streaming.

UPDATE 3: Turns out this story is over a year old -- I got the tip via email and never thought to question the date.

The Cecil Act

Urban "progressives" are being ludicrous again. [More]

Me, I prefer the Beany and Cecil act.

At least they weren't afraid to hunt -- or to tear along the dotted lion.

Not a Dime's Worth of Damn Difference

HILLARY CLINTON’S MEGA-DONORS ARE ALSO FUNDING JEB BUSH [More]
But...but...but Jeb is PRO-GUN...

Yeah, right, until that pathway to citizenship he and the elites are paving no longer requires him to be. Not that the "single issue" sellouts will acknowledge that.

Defending the Defenders

“We will continue to guard recruiting and reserve centers,” Rhodes shot back in a clarifying update for those perceiving the policy letter had the force of law. “If we were to stand down and stop protecting the recruiters that would just put them back where they were—unarmed and defenseless.” [More]
My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.

The New Normal

Sex with robots to be 'the norm' in 50 years, expert claims [More]
I don't doubt it, at least among "progressives." Still, you have to wonder what qualifies someone to claim the title of "expert" in this perversion.

There I go, being a robophobe/hater...

Maybe when Skynet wakes up, the sexbots will do some good.

A Broken Clock

Jimmy Carter Is Correct That the U.S. Is No Longer a Democracy [More]
Yeah, but he's wrong about the part that it ever was.

We've all heard the saying about a broken clock being right twice a day -- leave it to that bumbler to only be right once.
