Damon Show How Oblivious Hollywood Elites Are to Serious Resistance

Fortunately for him, Damon doesn’t need to rely on novices where his own safety is concerned. He can afford the most exclusive personal protection services money can buy. What’s almost humorous is that one of Damon’s bodyguards turned out to be an international gunrunner. [More]

AmmoLand Exclusive: Terry Brother Joins in Fast and Furious FOIA to State Dept.

There are multiple reasons for filing the request, primarily because it explores an area that has been left largely unresolved by official inquiries from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General.  [More]

UPDATE: No sooner do I call that then I see this just in from War on Guns Correspondent Bluesgal:

The NRA is to blame for police shooting of Philando Castile by encouraging citizens to arm themselves

By that Kuntzman douche who whined how he got PSTD from firing an AR. He's discovered this gets him attention, so now he's just trolling.

You Gotta Be Kiddin'

Hillary Clinton did not swear an oath to tell the truth before meeting with the FBI for three and a half hours last weekend, and the interview was not recorded, FBI Director James Comey told House lawmakers on Thursday. [More]

Why does anyone obey the law again? Oh yeah, because if you're not one of the rulers, you'll be destroyed.

Gee, I wonder if Republicans will do anything about this. You know, like the comfy chair...

It's Like There Are Two Sets of Standards

Facebook leaves this up:

And takes this down for a "community standards" violation?  Even after it receives plenty of attention?

He's on his Facebook page now saying it was all sarcasm and a joke, but then again he also posts one of those red circles with the slash over the word "Hate," so we're obviously dealing with an Opposite Day "progressive," meaning the default is to assume he's lying.

Case Studies Wanted

I need case studies to counter these for our fellow members of Congress. Any examples of use of an AR or AK in civilian self defense where lives were saved. [More]

Good Luck with That

California actually has a legal process to recall tyrannical politicians. [More]

Tell me abut it. My friend Russ Howard led the "Recall Roberti" effort, and we see what it got him.

Forget about getting enough people to lift a finger to do a recall -- which by the way requires serious, consuming commitments in money and manpower --   I'm still waiting for enough to come forward to help out a guy who gave them his all. His was one of the three case studies that inspired the "Profiles in Apathy" concept.

Plenty of anonymous bloviators are willing to bellow "Molon Labe!" in comments.  Count on them to do anything else and the chance of positive action goes down exponentially, especially if money is involved -- hell, how many times have I asked for readers to send Vanderboegh a gratitude offering for value received, and guess what.

I saw an interesting stat on a social media site I monitor -- for the week thus far it has almost 700,00 "post reach" hits, almost 100,000 "post engage" hits, and 19 "website clicks." That's all the people who thought it might be in their interest to learn what posts were about before making up their minds. All the squabbling commenters were making noises about posts they hadn't even read based on the post title, and were basically just weighing in as an excuse to bray fixed opinions at each other, or to change the subject altogether and go distractedly chasing off in another direction.

Forgive me if I'm cynical. Not even being able to get 99.9% of site visitors to share links for stuff they're not getting anywhere else can do that.

And as for CRPA leading the charge, please -- don't hold you breath. Say, didn't Arnhole first get in following a recall...?

There's a reason we see this happening in California.  But those of us explaining that reason are either ignored or subjected to the logically indefensible "single issue" cop-out.

You do have to wonder if someone won't even send an email or share a link how much prolonged sacrifice and risk they're actually prepared to endure. And as for the growing consensus that politics won't work, how many through personal detachment made that a self-fulfilling prophecy?

When everything breaks down, there will be plenty of blame to go around.

Sign of the Times

Gloucester ammo store’s sign criticized for its ‘ugly timing’ [More]

So when would be a "good" time...?

Right. The answer is "never," proving the "timing" issue was just a phony excuse to take a shot.

It's the "progressive" way.
