A Walk in thePark

Hiding in the brush, lying in wait, two youths armed with “guns” successfully rob several victims. In their eagerness and greed for more “loot”, they ambush the wrong guy… a prepared citizen. [More] 

"Park Robber," May's Featured Episode on Amazon Prime and YouTube, comes from Episode 7 of Season 7.

The Meat of the Matter

"The plant's owner has yet to be arrested or face charges and the plant continues to operate." [More]

Why?

A 'Community Conversation'

Whether it ends up being one-sided, which is what the antis are counting on,  is up to NC gun owners. [More]

Many Moving Parts

There are many moving parts to make the nation safer from gun violence. It will take reforms big and small, and the concerted effort by public officials to follow through on laws and regulations already aimed at keeping guns from the wrong hands. [More]

Those would be your hands.

And as admitted, they'll take each scrap offered and then demand more.

What Was Missing at the NRA Convention

You'd think with almost 90K attendees, many armed, we'd have if not blood in the streets, at least some in the aisles. [More]

That is if guns are responsible.

This Will Actually End What, Exactly?

SIGN THIS PETITION TO TELL YOUR GOVERNOR TO ENFORCE OUR NATION'S IMMIGRATION LAW [More]

It's not that I don't agree with the goal. Of course I do.

But my "Republican" governor's an enemy on this (and more), as are the governors of every blue state, so it's fair to ask what they hope to really accomplish with this -- aside from building an email list to send solicitations to.

It's tough enough getting people to do things. Having them chase sterile bee queens takes away from more effective pursuits.

Thoughtify

Spotify announced their partnership with the SPLC on Thursday, as part of a new policy cracking down on “hate content” and “hateful conduct.” [More]

Keeper approved!

On the plus side, the subscribers sure will offer a convenient and accessible supply of cannibal food to make spreading out a less attractive alternative.

An Individual Approach

Boulder ready for final passage of unenforceable gun ban [More]

Get caught with one when police get called on something else. You'll see how enforceable it is.

Doing it this way, they can destroy citizens' lives but keep an uprising from destroying theirs.

'Culture' as in Petri Dish?

Schools' culture of tolerance lets students like Nikolas Cruz slide [More]

And the culture of "diversity" ensures destructive policies continue.

For "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

Adding to the Repertoire

NRA Taking Governor Cuomo, New York To Court Over 1st Amendment Violations [More]

So they only insist on keeping everything "single issue" when they have motive to do so?

Conflict of Interests

I personally support most of the gun control bills in the General Assembly this year, but I was conflicted about the assault weapon ban even before I went to the Rifle and Pistol Club. I'm even more conflicted now. [More]

That's probably because your inclination is to embrace Opposite Day "progressivism" and you have given no indication you have Clue One as to what the Second Amendment was supposed to be about.

Not Much of a Gamble

Is Elizabeth Warren Using Mashpee Wampanoag Casino Battle To Shed Her Fake Indian Brand? [More]

I see nothing here that would keep anyone stupid and conditioned enough to vote for her before from voting for her again.

One Woman with a Gun

One man with a gun can control a hundred without one, Vladimir Lenin said. Lyudmila Pavlichenko proved one woman with a gun can entrance millions. [More]

Compare her strength and capabilities to, say, your average useful idiot MILM, who demands we all be without a gun.

We're the Only Ones Cut Off Enough

A new Kansas law makes it a crime for police to have sex with people they pull over for traffic violations or detain in criminal investigations. [More]

But how else are we supposed to hook up with women who wouldn't do us if they felt they had a choice?

From blue walls to blue balls...
