Reports of Our Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
It’s long been conventional wisdom that fighting for gun control is a good way to end a politician’s career. But advocates of tighter gun laws are pointing to a pair of victories in the Pacific Northwest as evidence that the tide may be shifting. [More]Oregon Firearms Federation says don't uncork those champagne bottles just yet.
I'd add that even if the gun-grabbers' political dreams all come true, there's still that little matter of enforcement, and some of us will not comply.
Tradition!
What kinds of people are setting the tone for The New York Times? [More]The same kind that always have.
A Numbers Game
The federal government can tell you how many "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders" stole a car, the precise number of "American Indian or Alaska Natives" who were arrested for vagrancy or how many whites were busted for counterfeiting in any given year. But the government agencies that crunch crime numbers are utterly unable -- or unwilling -- to pinpoint for the public how many illegal immigrants are arrested within U.S. borders each year. [More]It's OK...just call for more "gun control" and the media will make you a star.
A Public/Private Partnership
Join the mutual suckfest with DOJ and NSSF: A match made where, again? [More]
My, aren't we "reasonable." But wait: The Prozis refer to "NSSF's extremism on the gun issue." Does that mean playing nice doesn't buy any points, and they still want to attack no matter how much ground you cede?
What else can we give up so they'll like us?
And remember: Enforce existing Intolerable Acts!
Hell, why not improve them...?

Cartoonish Call for More ATF Funding Disregards Bureau Time-to-Crime Stats
Seeing as how there’s not a “source state” on the map that can’t be driven to in hours, or at most in two days, the lack of newer model firearms would seem to indicate that “pipeline” is pretty severely clogged. Either that or the whole concept is a fiction created by gun-grabbers to mask the utter failure of their efforts to date at achieving promised results — and to cast the blame for that on states where their grasp is not as tight.

Through Dialog with Individuals Like Me
[More]
Still, what this does is provides a demonstrable example that we can bypass "constituents only" website contact forms and get to politicians straight through social media -- a point I've been making for some time. Thing is, if it's only me, that's easy to ignore.
I'm going to stay on this. Whether I do so alone is out of my hands.
A Question of Delivery
Levy plans to post a link to the online auction later this week on her website. [More]Assuming she finds someone sick enough to buy this abomination, how does the "progressive" attention-seeking headcase, but I repeat myself, plan on making delivery? As this is biohazardous waste material, what special packaging/shipping precautions must be taken, and what notifications/data must be provided to the carriers and the recipient?

Response to Presidential Platform Survey Inquiry
This is a response from WarOnGuns Correspondent "Laocoön" to a "Cruz for President" followup inquiry regarding their Presidential Platform Survey.
I've provided my concerns repeatedly, but they've been ignored. The only way to regain my support is to reverse your direction on legal immigration, 180 degrees. For the USA to have a hope of survival and of assimilating the flood of immigrants that has been accelerating since 1965, legal immigration must be slashed to zero for several decades, or at least back to the non-suicidal average levels (and criteria) that prevailed from the 1920s under President Coolidge through the 1950s under President Eisenhower.
Immigration is already an order of magnitude too high and too fast, but the policies you support would overwhelm us even more rapidly.
Well over 100 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or on some kind of welfare. 100% of the net jobs created in the USA since the year 2000 went to immigrants. We're underwater and drowning, yet you propose to open the flood gates wider, in some cases by a factor of 500% annually.
We're being culturally terraformed. Legal Hispanics, for example, are over 5 times as likely to identify with the Democrat party than the Republican party. Over-immigration is overwhelming the relatively conservative native born citizenry's voting control of the USA. The last 50 years since Kennedy's 1965 Immigration Act -- a Democrat Trojan Horse -- clearly show that we can't assimilate that many people that fast. Even if it were true that the second generations will vote like the average American -- which it isn't at these excessive, balkanizing levels -- and it's contrary to massive empirical evidence -- we would still lose the USA to the first generations, and the damage will be irreversible. It is our culture being assimilated and destroyed, along with our liberty, sovereignty, security, dignity, quality of life, freedom of movement, real per capita income, per capita national wealth, cost of living, standard of living, and our human and natural environments.
Please, see California. Do the Democrats have to gain an irreversible supermajority of a supermajority of the states before our side considers the overwhelming empirical evidence and realizes that open-immigration theory -- of the neo-Left-"Libertarians", of Julian Simon, of the Wall St Journal, of Rupert Murdoch, and of closet-Democrat Michael Bloomberg -- is fatally flawed? One cannot claim to be a conservative or a Republican while supporting immigration policies that will give Social Democrats and RINOs permanent control of the USA, the states, the courts, the police, the "security state", and the military.
America's history of immigration is not a morally binding suicide pact against future generations. Over-immigration is wrecking the USA, permanently. Trump, Santorum, Walker, and Carson have called for cutting legal immigration in the interest of American citizens first. Walker stepped up before Trump did. Santorum over a year ago. Carson just flipped, though he's still hedging. What are you waiting for?
Sincerely,
[Name Redacted]
P.S. By "legal Hispanics", I mean legal foreign born citizens and permanent residents. Illegals are of course more left leaning, whereas native born Hispanics are only 4.4 times as likely to identify with D over R. ... Based on Pew Research results.

Dear Senator Cruz,

Gun-Grabber Proposals, Including O’Malley’s, Getting More Outlandish and Laughable
How scared should we really be of a guy who's grand citizen disarmament plan gets fewer "retweets" and "favorites" -- by an order of magnitude -- than a Kim Kardashian selfie?In this case, though, O’Malley is throwing a “Hail Mary.” With Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton using up all the electoral oxygen in the room, and even undeclared Joe Biden drawing four time his numbers, O’Malley is currently coming in at three percent. That’s no small coincidence when you consider the number of estimated gun owners who will not go quietly into that good night.[More]
CA Gun-Free School Bill Separates Oath Keepers from ‘Only Ones’
Equally unsurprisingly, politically-motivated discrimination was a transparently unconstitutional pot-sweetener built into SB 707, in order to gain support from the retired police officer lobby: They will be exempt from the new law. It will only apply to us mundanes, and that includes retired military — sorry guys, thank you for your service, but you’re just not considered “qualified.” The ex-cops are good with that as long as they get theirs, and the hell with any pretense of equal protection.
