Notes from the Resistance...
Trump to send military to Mexican border [More]Why not? They're protecting everyone else's borders.
[T]he Missouri House Rules Committee passed House Bill 1936 which expands the protections of the Second Amendment to locations and areas where you can carry concealed in its state. [More]Anybody know if this stands a chance? With Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and Greitens in the State House (no thanks to the 3-D chessmasters at Fairfax), what legitimate reasons could it have to fail?
New Jersey cops search man's anus, genitals for weed during traffic stop. See for yourself. [More]And the cowardly thug rapists cited him for "tailgating"?
Prosecutors said the 52-year-old Hunter was working as a security chief for weapons and drug trafficker Paul Le Roux when he recruited Samia and Stillwell to travel from their homes in Roxboro, North Carolina, to the Philippines for what was called “ninja work.” [More]So who's Le Roux's "U.S. senator" grandfather, and what's his stance on victim disarmament"?
After the three-day delay, the man purchased the gun because Walmart had not heard back from CBI or been told to block the sale. [More]And that, of course, is what they're priming us for going after. After all that control, we still don't have enough.
According to the police report, the 29-year-old victim named Maricela said she overheard a conversation between the two female suspects and their male friend. She reported to police that she become involved in their conversation and stated, "I support Donald Trump.” [More]I'm sorry, but what did she think was going to happen?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Tuesday warned that his state could see a wave of Democratic victories in the 2018 midterm elections, and pressed supporters to "counter" the "Far Left." [More]So stay on the bus that gets us there slower?
Two years ago, Walker said that it "makes sense" to grant citizenship to some of the millions of undocumented workers already in the country. By earlier this year, his position had changed, with Walker saying in March: "I don't believe in amnesty" for those in the country illegally. Later that same month, Walker told New Hampshire business leaders at a private dinner that he did, in fact, support providing some illegal immigrants with a pathway to citizenship, according to those familiar with the discussion. News accounts of the event sparked an outcry from the right, along with immediate denials from his staff.And then we see stuff like this:
Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican with an A rating from the National Rifle Association for his long history of supporting pro-gun measures, is shifting his approach following the recent mass shooting at a Florida high school and as he seeks re-election in November.Got anything to kindle fire in bellies, like we saw in 2016, or have establishment Republicans done their best to squelch it? I know "The Swamp" will blame apathy losses as a rejection of "Trumpism," but some see the difference between the man and the platform that elevated him -- and have no use for those who undermine it.
“We are committed to a violence-free work environment, and we will not tolerate any level of violence or the threat of violence in the workplace. Under no circumstances should anyone bring a weapon to work. If you become aware of a violation of this policy, you should report it to Human Resources immediately. In case of potential violence, contact Google Security.” [More]Of course that "committment" means we can't stop any of it but we will do our part to make sure you can't either.
Per the Miller Court, “the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear … ordinary military equipment … that … could contribute to the common defense.” It’s beyond curious that the monopoly of violence zealots behind the semi-automatic bans justify them by screaming they are “weapons of war.” [More]It really is about freedom and security, you know...
Another anti-gun ballot measure has been filed. As you can see, in this case one of the chief petitioners is not even an Oregon resident. [More]The gist of it, near as I can tell trying to make sense of such things, is they want to make sure pitchfork murderers don't encounter any pesky resistance...
Q: Who should control the guns?A: The government.Q: Do you trust the government?A: No...[Via Jeet]
“This doctrine, invented by the Court out of whole cloth, immunizes public officials even when they commit legal misconduct unless they violated ‘clearly established law.’ That standard is incredibly difficult for civil rights plaintiffs to overcome because the courts have required not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case on the books with functionally identical facts.” [More]Sorry, but no recourse for you. Like it says in the Preamble, "Precedent über alles!"
We are hearing that there is a strong possibility that “Ducey’s Disaster” could be introduced in the Legislature this coming week. Though most of us have not yet seen the actual language of his so-called “School Safety” proposal, his public press release contained more than enough to be concerned about. Everything from court ordered firearms confiscations (and involuntary mental evaluations) that would disarm you based on the feelings of friends or family that you “could” be dangerous, down to proposals that would make parents felons for the unlawful actions of their children. [More]Honest-- I didn't set out to make this a theme for today. I just can't stop from running into it.
“I don’t know how I can responsibly look at those young people and not say ‘We need to do something,’ ” Warner said... [More]Yes, something must be done!
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) used an April 2 Fox News Live appearance to announce that she is preparing to introduce legislation to create a federal law allowing firearm confiscation orders. [More]And why not? Her "pro-gun Democrat" NRA Board member husband voted for the Clinton gun ban. Everybody knows he was the guy Wayne stole "jackbooted thugs" from, right?
During live broadcast Dingell said, “Rep. Fred Upton (R) and I are looking at introducing … legislation … at the national level.”That would be this Fred Upton:
