Just an observation: If it turns out they're wrong and things backfire on US soil, most likely those who suffer in greatest numbers will be from an urban constituency that subverts self-defense and aborts its young. [More]

Ben Carson Ties Donald Trump in Iowa Poll [More]

Forgive me for suspecting establishment manipulation. I think the whole Trump phenomenon scares the hell out of all the major players, desperate to quell any rebellions, and one of the best ways to do that is to confuse the herd. If they can slow his momentum with Carson, they know he's a guy they can sideline without anywhere near as much difficulty, as he's neither as rich nor as provocative as The Donald.

And while Trump has his share of past conflicting actions and statements to atone for, when it comes to RKBA and cultural terraforming, Carson, like Lucy, has some splainin' to do.

We're the Only Ones On Target Enough

I had to scroll-magnify because I didn't see a full screen video option. [Watch]

The shooting happens @ 58 seconds in. Someone with the capability to break this down needs to analyze if the guy started to suddenly move his hands downward before the first shot was fired or as a reaction to being hit, as it seems awful close to me.

What do you think?  And can anybody here do that, and post a frame-by-frame comparison to a sound track graph?

Me and Jenny Goes Together Like Peas and Carrots

Jeb's ridiculous and arrogant view of location-based rights is still not enough for Debbie, who expressed no objections when Obama said the same thing. They all know it's a lie, and the edicts they're going after, from the baby steps of "universal background checks" to the end game, will have no "home rule" regional limitations. They just use that term for the suckers.

Still, it wouldn't be out of line to ask Jeb to explain in detail what specifically works for New York City. Matter of fact, those who have given him "A" ratings and endorsements in the past ought to be demanding it...

UPDATE: Not that I expect this will be anything but ignored...

Judge: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Committed “Fraud Against the Court”

Among other arguments raised in Dobyns’ objection is Facciola used the wrong standard of review, he refused to consider misconduct allegations and his report contains legal and factual errors. As such, the court is being asked to “entirely reject the Special Master Report for any of the several independent and sufficient reasons set forth herein.” [More]

The fight continues. I've received some interesting private email comments over this one that lead me to believe it is far from over.

Extinction Event

I just received the following breathless bit of fundraising hyperbole in an email:

There are no surprises on the survey itself, designed to elicit kneejerk agreement with the obvious, all the while adding to or validating the ILA email list and no doubt bringing in contributions. All the while they ignore an actual huge threat to "legal" recognition of RKBA members who limit their options to those defined by Fairfax will be facing -- because Wayne and Chris don't want to rock any boats and act like it's not part of that "single issue," you see...

Asserting "Your gun rights go extinct!" reinforces a narrative NRA relies on. That makes them the last, best hope to whom all turn. At least those who swallow it.

As for those who don't so limit their options, they're committed  to the proposition that their rights won't be extinct until they are. Such armed Americans will not go gentle into that good night.

They probably don't do online surveys, either.

All the News that's Fit to Suppress

In the five days since the shooting, ABC News has chosen not to publish the full contents of the fax, which was variously described in the media as a manifesto or a suicide note. No explanation has been given for withholding the full contents from the public. Given that Flanagan is dead, there would seem to be no reason not to reveal it (i.e., no pending trial and therefore no reason to worry about an ongoing investigation or influencing potential jurors). [More]

What's the matter, ABC News? Is there stuff in there that doesn't fit the narrative?

Your job is not to hold stuff back. Release the entire document.

When Prozis Collide

A former Goldman Sachs executive and his society wife stole the idea for a charity bracelet from a New York advertising consultant — then partnered with Donna Karan and Michael Bloomberg instead, according to a new lawsuit ...

Seeing as how the entire idea of citizen disarmament has been stolen from tyrants past, why would this surprise anyone?

Still, this does suggest another let-the-left-devour-each-other opportunity, as those bracelets are leather, meaning animals were murdered.
