Swiss voters approve stricter gun control laws to fit with EU rules [More]

FirearmsNews asked me to write about this so I'm withholding further comment for that.

We're the Only Ones Temporarily Set Back Enough

NYPD officer charged in plot to kill estranged husband and a child, court papers say ... Cincinelli faces up to 10 years in prison if she is convicted of the crime. [More]

Because by then, of course, she'll be totally trustworthy and safe to let out.

Trudeau Has ‘Secret Plan’ on ‘Sweeping Gun Ban,’ MP Clement Says [More]

He's so excited if he squeezed his knees together any tighter he'd leave marks.

Powerful and Moving Book Puts Persuasive Faces on Defensive Gun Uses

Robert and Sims Waters go the extra miles to flesh out the humanity of fellow citizens faced with terrifying decisions that we pray are never forced on us. In a way, we are put inside their skins, meaning once started, the book is hard to put down. [More]

I won't put my name on an endorsement unless I believe what I'm saying.

Suffer the Children

Converse Faces Huge Backlash After Partnering With An 11-Year-Old Drag Queen [More]

Is that the child abuse victim doing drugs with "adults"...?

That poor kid cannot be unf****d.  Give it a few years and anyone against this will be the one with the disorder.

Of course, I can't say what I think those who did this to him deserve without getting booted from the internet as a hater and having outraged freaks demanding everyone cut ties with me so I can starve to death. Maybe saying "freaks" will be enough. That's why the kid mentioning "Hitler" several times seems so appropriate.

As for Converse, well, I called shenanigans on them years ago.

Request for Proposal

Is Mexico going to pay for this, too? [More]

Believe It

“I cannot believe this is happening,” she says. [More]

You could try to explain it rationally 'til the cows come home and she still won't get why, and that's part of the plan.

I wish reports would give names.

Mystery to Me

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern does "not understand" why the U.S. has not changed its gun laws [More]

Let's ask Yul.

My guess'd be for the same reasons some of us reject the imported Marxism and Islam Jacinda is working to impose. Basically, because you'd have to kill us first.

When Seconds Count

On Monday, May 13th at approximately 4:30am, officers with the Fairbanks Police Department (FPD) stopped a sexual assault in progress that was occurring in the vestibule of FPD... [More]

Nice of the guy to bring the crime to them...

Knock It Off and Protect the NRA Wall ... This spreading of misinformation is an intentional tactic designed to weaken the NRA. [More]

Well, gee, now that you put it that way...

Good Lord.

DOJ Sides with 2A in NY Brief

ARGUMENT I. THE TRANSPORT BAN INFRINGES THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS [More]

DOJ does something right in the New York case.

Which could ultimately have a major impact on this Hawaii case...

Recap

NRAAM 2019, FULL OF SOUND & FURY, SIGNIFYING NOTHING? [More]

Jeff Knox does a good job explaining what went on.  I understand his motivation but don't agree with backing off on internecine criticisms. There are voices besides the wagon-circlers and the gun-grabbers that need to be heard.

If the patient dies, the Lairds will have themselves to blame.

Finally, a Solution!

New legislation introduced late Wednesday afternoon in Springfield would, for the first time, require gun owners to be fingerprinted. Under the proposal, a Firearm Owners Identification Card would surge in price from $10 to $50 and the duration of the card would be cut in half from ten years to five years. [More]

Take THAT, Chi-Town murderers!

A Good First Step

2A Attorney: 70% of N.J. gun laws could go away if SCOTUS takes up this case on May 23rd. [More]

Nappen and Colandro are fighting the fight.

If SCOTUS punts, it will tell us much.

Whys and Wherefores

Now, let’s pose some questions for readers to consider.  First, why are these pages marked SECRET/NOFORN (No Foreign Nationals)?  Second, if you were Paddock, why would you voluntarily choose to shoot an AR-15 with a bump stock in a crime you intended to perpetrate when you could shoot a fully automatic weapon?  Third (and I’ll keep asking this until I get an answer), why did the FBI refuse to allow the ATF to examine the crime scene weapons? [More]

Here we go inventing wild-eyed conspiracy theories again.

No?

If the conspiracy theories I'm hearing are true, some powerful and dangerous people don't want answers getting out.  But rather than repeat them, I'll have to stick with what can be proven at this point, and see if we can prove any more.

What gets me is how some of the loudest and most vocal dismissals of that come from the ostensible "pro-gun" side.

UPDATE: Here's the FOIA release.

Me, I'd be asking the County Administrator if it's such a good deal why an open bid wouldn't have made it better.  I'd also be auditing claimed expenses.
