Unrequited Love

With increasing proportions of the US population being foreign-born, low support for libertarian values by foreign-born residents means that the political prospects of libertarian values in the US are likely to diminish over time. [More]

Thing is, they can't commit suicide without catastrophic collateral damage.

A Shaky Assumption

The gun lobby is nervous [More]

If you mean the Lairds of Fairfax, I can see why the totalitarian lobby feels that way.

If you mean those of us who will not disarm, the fact that your side dares not try the end move tells a different story.

If I Had a Son, He'd Look Like Me

Obama envisions creating 'a million young Barack Obamas'  [More]

O come let us adore him.

It's Big Club and It's On You

Florida 16-year-old allegedly beats friend to death with a baseball bat over a girl, officials say [More]

Anyone who can't be trusted with a bat can't be trusted without a custodian.

I Just Don't See the Inconsistency Here

Yes, totalitarians are for the state having a monopoly of violence. [More]

I reject calling DC "Only Ones" -- who would arrest or kill you or me in a heartbeat if they saw us armed -- "good guys with guns."

My favorites are the ones posted next to the "Gun-Free Zone" warnings.

Congressional Art Contest a Way for Young People to Send Politicians a Message

With the only voices from young people given media exposure being those demanding that government abridge liberty, you and your children might be in a position to help show that some still believe in the vision of the Founders. [More]

On the other hand, it can show us how much ideological suppression those who swore an oath to the Constitution are willing to impose.

Rocks in His Head

Students will be armed with rocks in case of school shooting, superintendent says [More]

Which explains why cavemen control so much territory these days no doubt...

We're the Only Ones On Your Toes Enough

I'll Survive It

Unhappy today over lack of border wall funds, Trump threatens veto and government shutdown [More]

Do it.

And get rid of the "gun control" while you're at it.

Survey SAYS...

AP-NORC Poll: Support soars for stricter gun control laws [More]

I wonder what a survey to establish what respondents actually understand about the issue would reveal.

Not really.

That's the Spirit

Spirit Airlines apologizes to Parkland survivor for flight attendant’s gun control speech [More]

Good. Now fire her.

What got me was this:

The flight attendant “made everyone clap”...

I doubt it was "everyone," but I do find it disappointing that no one loudly told her to go **** herself.

That would have been worth clapping for.

A Fair Question

Whose Side Is the NRA Really On? [More]

I just became aware of this write-up from five years ago.

Cover Story

The students-turned-activists who survived a mass shooting at their Florida high school last month are featured on the glossy cover of Time magazine. [More]

No surprise there.

The cover was revealed two days before the students and their allies rally in Washington for the March for Our Lives, a demonstration organized by ... the gun control organization Everytown for Gun Safety.

And supported by these guys and these guys...

A Viable Alternative?

I've just been told about Full30 as an alternative to YouTube for gun videos. [More]

A couple things:

I tried embedding a video in Blogger and their embed code results in a player with several (and I mean a lot) inches of black space above and below, and I see nothing in the html I can remove to fix that (bearing in mind my capabilities in that regard are really limited.)

Also, one of the big issues destroying YouTubers is no longer being allowed to monetize their videos, effectively shutting them down by impoverishing them.  I didn't see anything about that through a quick scan of the Full30 t's & c's.

If you have knowledge about either of these concerns, please educate me in "Comments."
