I guess when you're so big it doesn't matter, the thought that you might use your longer reach to give a boost to someone who deserves one doesn't even factor into the equation. [More]
I've always been a believer in attribution for the people who originate a story, not the ones who reword it.

Ignorance is Bliss
A stapler that two girls misidentified as a gun resulted in a lockdown Wednesday at Southbridge Middle-High School ... In addition, the two girls had misidentified the student in question... [More]About the only thing they were sure of is they're easy to spook, which is just the way those who benefit from freedom illiteracy want things to be.
Hey, if there weren't scary guns in the first place...

Gun Porn
Well, heck, if the antis are gonna get all hot and bothered, might as well have some fun with it.
My conversation with Mark Walters from yesterday's Armed American Radio "gun porn" discussion is now posted in archives, and we did have fun. Listen here if you like.
I expect to be revisiting this topic in the near future.
Another Chair for the Bar Fight
Montgomery is also the director of a pro-Hillary Clinton PAC called “Bill for First Lady 2016.” [More]So, anybody think to publicly pressure her to condemn it? I know it won't change anything, but any time you can cause dissension in the ranks, why not?
Back in a minute...
UPDATE: There we go:
A "Pro-Gun Democrat"
[Click to enlarge]
Just so we're clear: He supports "gun control" AND Hillary. Hey, what's a little quid pro quo among friends?
What more qualifications do you need to earn that coveted "A" rating?
Not all agree.
Gosh, now I'm going to be accused of "bashing" again.

Ban the Box
Company Fires Employee For Having Gun…IN HIS OWN HOME
Under the guise of “zero tolerance”, gun hating private community Lakes of the Four Seasons (LOFS) has fired a seasonal landscaping employee of 21 years because he was a gun owner. [More]I would have to learn more before concluding this story is complete.
Enforce Existing Gun Laws!
And Thank You for Your Service...
All you subcitizens in the military who are not yet 21... [More]
That's a serious question for all who fit into that demographic and all who love them -- how can any of you support any politician who promotes the Everytown disarmament agenda, knowing they think you're fit to risk all, to be maimed for life or to die in the service of the government, but not fit to claim the rights that government is obligated to protect?
Explain this "reasoning": Yeah, I can go fight in the military, but I shouldn't be trusted with a gun in civilian life. And none of my buddies should be, either. So I'll support laws to make us all criminals subject to being imprisoned or worse should we be caught in violation of them.
Go ahead, explain it.

We're the Only Ones Hitting on You Enough
Police: Officer who staged suicide tried to take out ‘hit’ on city administrator [More]As if things weren't weird enough already...

Blinding Us with (Agenda) "Science"
Stand-Your-Ground Racial Bias Study used “media definition,” not “legal definition” [More]Wahhh! Mean old "gun lobby" won't let CDC waste tax plunder on "research" scams like this to defraud people of their rights! Waaahhhhh!
We Demand
Recognition of our right to be presented with a path to citizenship/residency as the first priority of future immigration policy combined with interim deferment of all law-abiding Undocumented Americans against detention and deportation. [More]Ah, so now we're "Undocumented Americans."
Thank goodness this doesn't have a thing to do with that "single issue," so we can still pass out "A" grades.
It All Boils Down to Pump Prices
“This could open up years of litigation and settlements in the same way that tobacco litigation did, also spearheaded by attorneys general"... [More]And guess who the wealth is ultimately going to be transferred from?
Gosh, guys, once they're paid, whores don't love you anymore. Who knew?

Armed American Radio Daily Defense
Mark Walters just called -- he wants me on this afternoon -- with no prior discussion -- to throw stuff at me live and get my off-the-top-of-my-head response.
Ah, workin' without a net, which is the way we always do it, but I generally go into these things with a least a general idea of the direction we're going -- this should be fun. I'd better go light a cigar and take the call on the porch.
It starts at 4 pm Eastern, mere minutes from now. Click here then click listen live.
Gun Tax (Extortion) Bill Gets Attention, No Traction, but Still Reveals Totalitarian Mindset
And if $100 is good, $200 would be better, right? Once the precedent is established, the sky’s the limit. [More]Good thing the bill doesn't stand a snowball's chance -- but that being the case, why is the media treating it like it's newsworthy?
By the way, don't be shy about leaving comments under the article.
We're the Only Ones Carefully Staged Enough
"This staged suicide was the end result of extensive criminal acts that Gliniewicz had been committing" ...The officer had been stealing and laundering money from a police department program that mentored young people hoping to become law enforcement officers, Filenko said. Gliniewicz, a leader in that program, had been stealing money for at least seven years, he said. [More]Defrauding right up to the end...

Exclusive: The Lost Shepherd
That’s significant, because Abby has a national forum to promote her opinions on what Jesus would or would not do, just like she’s some sort of Biblical scholar instead of a dilettante novice who just happens to have a net worth of $500 million. And she’s not the only one out of her element, although don’t expect her target audience to question what she wants to manipulate them into thinking. Because when it comes to the right of the people to keep and bear arms, the star of her propaganda opus is also a newcomer to the discussion. [More]My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column notes an Opposite Day conversion. It kind of makes you wonder which angel wears armor of light...

Child Victims
Stay classy, Prozis. Far from trashing Trump, this merely shows you to be the trash. I would not allow my children to talk this way at that age, let alone instruct them to and then exploit it. (Warning: NSFW) [Watch]
Leave it to liars to conflate the issue with racism, to bamboozle the weak-minded and to discourage the faint of heart who fear being called names. Bring it. If embracing Mexico's immigration policies make me racist, then guilty as charged.
Besides, in typical Opposite Day fashion, which side is calling itself "The Race"?
Funny-- the gringo behind the curtain doesn't qualify, so he's really just a collectivist mob inciter exploiting la raza to advance a different agenda than the one he's defrauded them into believing. But he does "live with his Mexican boyfriend," so I guess he's an honorary member, plus we know what he expects them to do for him (although I don't know if I should refer to that as "white privilege" or "brown privilege").
Ah well, maybe there's a useful hashtag to take away from all this:

There I Go Bashing Again
Well, "Mike"...
The percentages come from the Reuters article, linked at the end of the first paragraph, so referencing them in the article actually does make sense—I include links for a reason—if you chose not to read them and then leap to bad conclusions, that’s on you. If you have documentation to refute the numbers, present it, and make sure you demand a correction/retraction from them and Project Vote Smart.
As for your accusation that all I seem to do is bash NRA, I've run into that one before. Perhaps you could point out where the untrue statement is. Again, bring proof, because there is a long history of documentation proving undeserved ratings if you really want to open that can of worms. Or is it you want the truth about such cynical manipulations of members suppressed? Why?
As for VCDL, they're not supposed to let their members know when a candidate refuses to sign their survey and his campaign claims an endorsement that was never given?
What's your skin in the game, "Mike"? Do you just lap up whatever you're fed by Fairfax, or does it go deeper? You have me at a disadvantage since there's no way to check without you revealing more.
On the other hand, there's some perceptive commentary from "Russn8r" in the thread, as well as from Bob Sadtler, who is correct in pointing out there was a third significant race I should have highlighted.
See? I can take criticism when it's warranted.
