Game-Changing

As we’ve seen again these past six days, guns are often involved. Guns are too often game-changers. [More]
Until we can change that game, it will always come back to depriving you and me of our birthright freedoms.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Unstable' Is

The new hospital added over 22,000 nonfatal gun injuries to the 2015 national estimate — more than 100 times greater than the most ever contributed by its predecessor. This hospital — one of the 60 or so used in the sample — accounts for over one quarter of the total estimated gunshot injuries that year, which is the most recent data available. [More]
Hey, did it help do the job of helping gin up outrage or not?

Earning Those 15 Minutes of Fame

“We know where you sleep at night,” another protester shouted. “We know what kind of dog food you buy your dogs.” “We’re not actually joking,” the protester said before shouting the location of where Bulfin lives. “John Bulfin you go to [bleeped out], you go to church on [bleeped out], you live on [bleeped out the] road. We are not joking.” [More]
Channeling Michael Collins, are we...?

Here's hoping the commie cowards can be identified and receive reciprocal treatment. It would be nice if someone could surreptitiously follow them and find out what they had for breakfast.

Standard of Proof

An ‘adjudicat[ion] as a mental defective’ under Section 922(g)(4) requires something more than two lay persons and a physician acting without any adversarial proceeding, without the opportunity to present any evidence by the party subject to the mental health examination, and without the involvement of any judicial or quasi-judicial decision-maker or processes. [More]
Would this also apply for "red flags"?

Wicked Brew, Indeed

The fact that the shooting was a government sponsored terrorist attack that Pelosi openly told us was coming has been conveniently left out of this article once again. [More]
When did I leave it out the first time?

I'm all for being skeptical of the official line -- I've kind of made a thing of that.  But when I say stuff like ATF has never offered examination results that bump stocks attached to the firearms used in Las Vegas were used, you can prove that for yourself.

Unless I made it all up or I'm an unwitting conduit.

We're the Only Ones Trained and Capacitated Enough


Never go full Ken Reid. [Watch]

When asked about statistics showing killings occur in "gun-free zones," he replies by calling for a ban on "these AR47 ... these AR ... these AK47s."

He goes on to include all defensive gun uses:
"I don't think regular citizens have the training and the capacity to do what's necessary."
And he would ban guns for all private citizens.

Anybody see anything that looks too hard to get a low "B" on twice a year?

Although in fairness, I've never emerged from training equipped to do this.

We're the Only Ones Checking Out Enough

For the eighth time this year, a New York City police officer has died by suicide... [More]
Isn't that one of the main reasons we're told police should be the "Only Ones" with guns?

Anybody think the higher rates are due to superior trustworthiness and training?

So Sue Her for Libel

She claimed in a tweet Friday that the Ferguson, Missouri, teen was “murdered by a white police office” five years ago. But President Obama’s Justice Department, confirming a grand jury’s decision not to indict, found officer Darren Wilson acted in self-defense. [More]
He should get plenty wampum.

We're the Only Ones Preferential Enough

Of course, when it comes time to sign for a concealed-gun authorization, the buck stops with Sheriff Smith. And this wouldn’t be the first time she’s come under fire for the way she doles out the coveted permits, or gives preferential treatment to people with clout. [More]
That's not longtime SOP?

And not just in CA?

"May issue": It's a big club and you ain't in it.

Comparing El Paso to Juárez Gives Insights into Effectiveness of ‘Gun Control’


That’s what Ebrard and his “monopoly of violence” co-conspirators on this side of the border are really after, for U.S. “gun laws” to be more like Mexico’s. But unlike with immigration laws, they want disarmament to be enforced — and of course with no corresponding duty to protect. [More]
Coming soon to a sanctuary city near you. If you want to see what they call "gun violence" go through the roof, leave the "solution" to Opposite Day "progressives."
