Another 'So-Called Judge'

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, a Democrat, says the resolution is non-binding and is meant to make those here illegally feel comfortable ... [More]
When lawmakers and judges promote lawlessness, that is exactly what you get.

A question to consider: If the law is supposed to protect us from them, does it not also serve to protect them from us?

It's a shame Judge Gorsuch thinks he needs to run away from plain speaking on judging such subversives. And I'm giving him the benefit of a yuge assumption here.

UPDATE: And it turns out that was "fake news"?

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Over the years, the Department of Justice has taken action against various other civil and constitutional rights abuses. It is time for the DOJ to prosecute violations of the Second Amendment and federal laws including the Firearms Owners Protection Act. The next attorney general should take action against states and local governments that adopt laws designed specifically to infringe on the rights of honest firearms owners or discourage people from exercising their right to keep and bear arms for legitimate reasons, including self-defense. [More]
You don't say.

The Power of Disruption

That's what this all boils down to. [More]

Seized on for the Optics

Tell me this wasn't. [More]

From the Party that Would Rather See You Dead than Armed...

Gun laws unchanged as Democrats pick off bills on schools, businesses and ammo [More]
Why, that's just plain astonishing!

No?

Point of Focus

With GRNC feedback and support, Representative LARRY PITTMAN (R-Cabarrus) today introduced House Bill 69 for what will be GRNC’s main legislative thrust for 2017: constitutional (permitless) carry. [More]
Who wants to help?

Unclear on the Concept

"Come, let us reason together."
It was said that interactions should be conducted in a "‘congenial' manner." [More]
With raging, violent lunatics who want them dead?

Get Smart

Gil Smart: How I changed my mind on guns [More]
I'm not convinced he's all the way there, but it's a beginning.

Still, this is right on:
And I think the loudest anti-gun rhetoric comes from those who have never been around firearms.
Too often those who presume to teach don't even belong in the class without some prerequisites.

Captain's Log

Hot Air Republicans

A group of prominent Republicans and business leaders pitched a tax on carbon dioxide to top White House aides Wednesday... [More]
They call this "a conservative free market approach"?  What are they, Opposite Day "progressives" in disguise?

In fact, uh, yeah, they are.

And these self-enriching economic fascists weren't grabbed by their collars and pants seats and physically thrown out because...?

If I Can't Cheat, Forget It

Read the last paragraph. [More]

What do such expectations for insider information tell us about the criminal enterprise these parasites feed through?

And what an example of an overprivileged dolt. I wonder how he'd do in another competitive arena.

Barring that, this practically screams for a corruption investigation, replete with screams of "Witch hunt!" as schemes to induce Sonnyboy to either take one for the team or else throw him under the bus are explored.

Speaking of Disheartening

Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch calls Trump's tweets 'disheartening' [More]
Commited domestic enemy Blumenthal, looking for anything to dishearten and demoralize Trump supporters over this nomination, presses and presses the guy to get anything that can be interpreted as an exploitable response. And the media is thrilled to spread it.

That said, there are better ways to think on your feet and play coy, and the answer to that line of inquiry bolsters the need to nail Gorsuch down on 2A specifics.

UPDATE: And it turns out that was "fake news"?

Ambition, Turning Down Heat Seen as Motivators behind ATF Proposals on Guns

Savage agrees that such incentives, including the potential for the top spot at BATFE, could be factors. Another potential explanation is one of organizational pragmatism. [More]
One thing's for sure -- they're not doing this because the believe the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  And it looks like our FOIA may just be a catalyst for some change.

Separation of Science and State

Elias opens the door to Lab 257 and notes what came out. [More]

When Fisters Attack

All this is to say, to strike is to disrupt in whatever ways we can, the smooth functioning of the systems of domination we find ourselves surrounded by. This can be a railroad blockaded, a freeway shut down, a police vehicle overturned, a neighborhood barricaded to prevent ICE or BP from so much as entering, a caregivers’ strike, or a baseball bat to a klansman or rapist’s kneecap.
We echo some distant accomplices when we say, BE THE FIST YOU WANT TO SEE IN A FASCIST’S FACE. [More]
With "klansmen" and "rapists" being whomever they decide to assault with weapons and potentially lethal force. You know, anyone who's not a raving Marxist tool.

Obviously, Choice One is to avoid trouble if you can.  If you can't, then pre-plan ways to ensure safety, including traveling in groups, scouting, assessing before proceeding, keeping apprised of scanner chatter, making sure communications channels are established and working, and exercising your right to keep and bear arms -- with the obvious caveat that you'd better know what you're doing and be prepared not to make things disastrous for yourself or for non-attackers.

UPDATE: Find an event near you (and act accordingly).

Garbage In, Garbage Out

Despite claims of enhanced vetting, the reality is that it is virtually impossible to vet an individual who has no type of an official record, particularly in countries compromised by terrorism. U.S. immigration officials simply rely on the person’s often rehearsed and fabricated “testimony.” I have personally seen this on hundreds of occasions. [More]
So ensuring garbage data let's garbage in and doesn't keep garbage out is what Opposite Day "progressives" mean by "rigorous security screening"?

Don't Think of Them as Anti-Gun. Think of Them as Pro-Slaughtered Children.

"Ms. DeVos was not able to clearly express her understanding or her commitment to enforcing the gun-free school zone act," he added. [More]
Why would anyone but an oath-breaking murderer-enabler commit to that, senator?

I see A-rated and endorsed Lisa Murkowski (along with perennial turncoat Susan Collins) is also siding with Team Traitor. At least she agrees with Wayne.

Big mistake with her, Mr. President. As the opportunistic ingrate showed you. We should all never forget that had it been up to her (and AQ-rated Dan Sullivan)*, Hillary would now be "Madam President."

And while we're on the subject of education, what the hell ever happened with this?

[Via Mack H]

*   And they only downgraded Democrat Begich to "A-" after he'd voted to confirm Sotomayor and Kagan.

All things considered, Dad should have known better -- on several counts. [More]

#WearOrange?

In a last-minute visual reminder, a large crowd of hunters wearing blaze orange and camouflage lined the path between lawmakers’ offices and the Capitol. [More]
And they all showed up for Lobby Day too?

As an aside, it appears the Bloombergians committed before considering the irony.

Not Too Old to Take Out the Trash

An armed veteran from St. Louis killed one man and injured another during an armed robbery attempt in the metro east. But, on Friday, prosecutors said the veteran's actions are justified, and could help solve dozens of other violent crimes in Illinois and Missouri. [More]
Curious. The Opposite Day "common sense gun safety law" fanatics would rather he had not been armed --  by forced of edict.  I guess they figure the more heinous acts of brutality, the more blood they have to dance in, all the better to advance the disarmament of their countrymen.
