Looks Like Katie Couric May Get Another Colonoscopy

The NSSF calls upon the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to open a criminal investigation into this important matter. [More]
I didn't have that bit of information back when I analyzed a portion of the Soechtig interview that found all kinds of other wrong-headed assertions.

It's ironic -- on the "good for the goose" hand, its fun to watch hypocrites and ignoramuses hoist on their own petard. On the "shall not be infringed" hand, the demand should be to repeal existing gun laws, not enforce them. Because anything they can use against your enemy, they can use against you.

No worries though -- anyone want to bet these people won't be given a David Gregory-style pass? Assuming they weren't just lying about the purchases in the first place to score propaganda points...

All We Really Need to Know

Fire One. Fire Two.




Those of us familiar with Mike's "smuggling" activities" can make educated guesses about target and payload. [More]

An Ethical Dilemma

The Justice Department is resisting a judge’s order to provide ethics training for its lawyers and is objecting to turning over to the court the names of illegal aliens who were granted what amounts to administrative amnesty (“deferrals”) in stark violation of an injunction issued by the court. [More]
So is he gonna do anything about it, or just stand there and bleed?

When a Plan Comes Together

Criminal immigrants reoffend at higher rates than ICE has suggested [More]
"Suggested"? You mean "lied."

What's that, Hillary? Amnesty within the first hundred days?

Tell us what the plan is, Jeh:
 [T]he approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”
And we know how they'll vote.

You can thank Grover and all his "republican" NRA/apologists later.  Lord knows no one but a few of us seem the least bit interested in doing it now.  Then again, why would anyone think overwhelming legislative anti-gun/Democrat majorities with the power to confirm federal judges would have any bearing on that "single issue"?

Exclusive: A Mess Of Pottage

Users there, and wherever else states have made it “legal,” like in Colorado, may not know and may not care, but they’re disqualifying themselves from owning a gun, even if their use is compliant with state laws. That’s because the federal government prohibits anyone who is a marijuana/controlled substance user from buying a gun and ammunition, and per ATF, it doesn’t even matter if the purchaser has a medical marijuana card. [More]
Cannabis club to replace last San Francisco gun store? Like Esau, some are trading their birthright for a mess of pot. My latest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column is now online.

Winding Down

Will be back online Monday. May get one more article done tonight. Please hold all correspondence and comments. Thanks.

UPDATE: Sorry, been so rushed and pulled in so many different directions I did not stop to think people would quite naturally speculate. No, this has nothing to do with Mike.

And it also looks like my plans to complete a response to this will need to wait a few days. I'm only about half through.

You might want to keep an eye on my GUNS Magazine page -- my latest, "A Mess of Pottage," was submitted on deadline yesterday, and it might get posted before I return. In the mean time, feel free to browse around and don't be shy about commenting there.

That's One Explanation


Sounds pretty plausible, but I'm still leaning toward "Because they're possessed."

About That 'White 6-Footer'

  [More]

But...but...but...

UPDATE: The Daily Bruin removed the link where the ID'd the shooter as white and 6' tall,instead of leaving it and offering a later correction. They'll make great "Authorized Journalists" some day.

They sure are being circumspect with ol' Maniak's background details.

And how can you have a gun-free zone lockdown if you don't have any locks?

You Don't Have to Live Like a Refugee

A family in Lawrenceville, a suburb of Atlanta, said they were attacked by an unknown Muslim woman wearing a full burqa simply because they were flying an American flag for Memorial Day. [More]
Because nothing says "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" like government embedding Somali immigrants in the heartland.

And these damned intolerant haters allowed a 14-year-old access to a gun...?

Right for the Job

“Donald Trump is unlike any presidential candidate we’ve seen, maybe ever, certainly in decades, in that he does not cross the threshold of fitness for the job,” said Jake Sullivan, Mrs. Clinton’s top policy adviser, who helped draft the speech. [More]
Says the genius who "sent 'top secret' messages to her private account."

And then there's this:
Clinton IT aide to plead Fifth in email case
She does nothing but surround herself with "top men," doesn't she?

Rallying Point

The Mental Militia Will Support The Ryan Family Rally This Weekend, June 4 & 5 [More]
A political prisoner could use some help.

We're the Only Ones Falsifying Enough

Officials did not indicate why traffic reports were falsified. [More]
Because corruption is systemic...?

Highly Contested

So why not throw your hat in the ring? [More]

Alleviating Hearing Impairments

ATF has amended the hearing process, and quoted FFLGuard’s 2012 letter extensively in its reasons for doing so.  [More]
I wrote about this here.

Straight Outta Compton

Killings in Compton have tripled this year, rattling nerves and testing a key anti-crime initiative [More]
Gosh, if only California had some sort of "gun control."

I remember being dragooned into jury duty in Compton. What a pleasure it was having to park my car and then run the gauntlet past distinguished-looking FODs (friends of defendants) on my way to the scanners.

Speaking of Discrimination...

Blind Man Files Lawsuit Against McDonald's for Discriminatory Drive-Thru Practices [More]
"El Puño" does seem appropriate here.

Everybody Gets a Trophy!

According to school practices, students are not allowed to wear NHS regalia. [More]
Hey, why not cut to the chase and eliminate good grades altogether?

Because what could be more important than the feelings and self-esteem of underachievers?

What we need is a Handicapper General.

On a related subject, I still haven't figured out the Opposite Day "progressive" paradox of "safe spaces" -- if you can keep out people you get neurotic over, how is that not intolerance and discrimination?

Lost in Translation

“Translating our name as ‘the race’ is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. ‘Hispanic’ is an ethnicity, not a race." [More]
So it's our fault ignoramuses were allowed to pick your name and everybody followed?

I guess "national socialists" were really anything but...?

Me and Bernie Goes Together Like Peas and Carrots

Libertarian candidate former Governor Gary Johnson says he agrees with Socialist Bernie Sanders 73% of the time. [More]
Dance, puppets, dance.
