#ReleaseTheNRAQuestionnaire

WHAT JOE SCARBOROUGH TOLD THE NRA AS CANDIDATE VS. WHAT HE SAID TODAY [More]

Excellent.  I wonder where The Daily Caller got it from, since NRA PVF won't give theirs up, fearing candidates won't return a survey they think may be used against them later.

His belligerence claiming he's still "an unyielding advocate for gun rights" makes it fair to question exactly what he believes "the founding fathers did ... give [sic] us" and why.

Now it's Kirsten's turn.

At least Scarborough hasn't tried to whitewash his past stance by pretending his motivation was about hunting.

We're the Only Ones Finishing the Job Enough

Mader, who is white, didn’t shoot, thinking deadly force wasn’t necessary. In those tense moments, he reasoned that Williams, who was black, was a threat to himself but not to others. But as Mader was attempting to talk Williams down, two more Weirton police officers arrived on the scene. As they did, Williams raised his gun — and was shot and killed by another officer. [More]

So much for trying to defuse the situation so that everybody makes it home at the end of the shift. Besides, that talking a guy down routine only works on cop shows aimed at making us admire how they can do such a dangerous job yet still be so compassionate.

Plus, we don't cotton to your kind around here.

No, in fact it would not. But the gushing newsreaderette sure seems smug about assuring everyone it will.

Eighteen - I Get Confused Every Day

Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun-control advocacy group responsible for spreading this bogus statistic, should be ashamed of its blatant dishonesty.  [More]

Such a Deal!

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is reportedly willing to support E-Verify in exchange for permanent amnesty for so-called Dreamers. [More]

And no one told him we don't negotiate with terrorists?

I guess not.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

¿Si?

And a Child Shall Lead Them

Parkland student: My generation won't stand for this [More]

Well, I read your rant and didn't see any solutions, although your embracing a death culture through disparagement of the unborn did not go unnoticed. Neither did your enthusiasm for being saved by armed-to-the-teeth men of "authority." And it looked like Anderson Pooper was positively undergoing Matthewsian furrowing.

If you want to be slaves, I suppose my generation will be dead by then and won't be able to stop you. But you sound more like you want to be a slave master when you grow up.

Still, young lefty, don't assume it'll be a cakewalk. People tend to put more effort into keeping what they have from being taken away. And what did Stalin ask about the Pope?

Here's one thing I did learn:  "Safest city," eh?

So much for "I don't need a gun -- I live in a safe neighborhood and 'it' could never happen here."

Authorities investigate gun store near Marjory Stoneman Douglas High [More]

39 police visits and NICS shows government held up its end, and somebody has to be blamed.

WSVN 7 News needs to look into that "three day waiting period" claim, though-- that's for handguns, as the DSM so "creatively" reminds us.

That's not to say I'm claiming evidence that's what happened.  But it is to say that such technology needs to be examined for abuses.
