None Dare Call It Treason


Governor Newsom doubling down to dismantle the California economy [More]

At some point, you've gotta consider it's intentional and being done on behalf of certain interests who prefer to not be noticed -- yet.

Back Off, Boogaloo


Extremism, Terrorism & Bigotry - The Boogaloo: Extremists’ New Slang Term for A Coming Civil War [More

What kind of damned rightwing racists would say they'll fight back if attacked?

They even have a theme song!

Not to be confused with the collectivists'...

We're the Only Ones Relentless Enough


Through Relentless Pursuit, we pledge to hold accountable the trigger-pullers, firearm traffickers, violent criminals and those who supply them the guns to terrorize our communities. ATF will aggressively utilize every available tool, including our crime gun enforcement teams, National Integrated Ballistic Information Network and firearms tracing to identify, investigate and support the prosecution of the most violent firearm offenders.” [More

And if we happen to sweep up some who aren't so violent, well, you can't make an omelet...

Amazing how the right rhetoric gets the law-and-order crowd salivating for a Constitutionally-unrestrained police state...

An Idea Whose Time Has Come


Second Amendment Sanctuary Movement Spreads To Kentucky [More]

Those exploiting it had better realize there is an expectation on the part of supporters that everybody is serious about this.

We're the Only Ones Disrespected Enough


Barr: Rising disrespect for cops not only wrong, it puts us in danger [More]
Coming from the top cop, and one with problematic respect for "the supreme Law of the Land" on his own, that sounds like a threat.

Maybe if the emphasis were on rights enforcement rather than law enforcement...

SOP

FBI Director Wray Caught in LIE Under Oath to Congress [More]
Hell, I found a picture of him lying long before that.

You'll Become a Sanctuary City and Like It!

Appomattox County, Virginia Becomes First County to Say No Thanks to Refugee Resettlement [More]
Nothing we can do. Our new "Republican leaders" tell us it's symbolic.

Hey, if we don't like it we can always vote and change the law, right?

Not the Worst Thing


“The worst thing for me would be if somebody wound up in jail or a confrontation [with police] because they misunderstood a symbolic gesture [by the Board of Supervisors],” Ingle said. [More]
"Well, I guess that's it then," Captain Parker replied, ordering his men to surrender their arms after being issued a lawful order. "We made our symbolic gesture, men."

There are worse things.

That Just Means More Quarry


Under Pennsylvania’s New 80% Lower Standard, Virtually Anything Can Now be Defined as a Gun [More]

I wonder if ol' Josh has enough hounds...

New and Improved!

State National Firearms Act (NFA) Weapons Regulations Map [More]
Our friends at American Gun Owners Alliance have created a useful interactive map that drives you right down to the sections and text of the laws, as well as links to other state gun laws.

Founder Dave Dalton also tells me they're still working on Puerto Rico, which has big changes coming in January. For now, the only "official" copy is in Spanish, and he's been informed there probably won't be an authorized English translation until Spring.

Dave also tells me they "have started the process to become a 501(c)(4), we didn't raise as much as we had hoped," to which I almost sent him back a link to Gomer.

Who will help me plant the wheat?

As I said when I introduced AMGOA to AmmoLand readers:

If, after seeing what AMGOA offers – and what it can offer if allowed to grow – you agree that you get value from the efforts, then simply do the right thing. Join and help. But that’s not all. Please spread the word. If you’re on it, use social media. Tell your gun-owning friends. Tell your gun club. Tell the gun shops and ranges you patronize. If you belong to a state or national group, ask them to start a mutually beneficial relationship with AMGOA.
 My hope is that regulars here will see the value and do these simple and warranted things.

But Reeling in Style

Inside Wayne LaPierre’s Battle for the N.R.A. How an internal power struggle, a New York State investigation and accusations of fraud and betrayal on all sides have left the longtime leader of the gun-rights organization reeling... [More]
I'd characterize it more as hanging on for dear life.

Somehow, 'Horrendous' Doesn't Quite Sound Strong Enough


It is horrendous that our government would cover up the murders of Americans by Mexican cartels, merely to help politicians get reelected and hide their efforts to destroy our gun industry through Fast and Furious. [More]

Tell me about it.

As for the Trump administration, who do you think is withholding information despite opportunistic promises to the contrary?

We're the Only Ones Internalizing Enough


The city won't say what the investigation is about, but the department has a storied history of misusing internal affairs to retaliate against officers who higher-ups didn't like. [More]

I guess anything's possible.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Piers Morgan Paradise...

Police constable is one of 16 Muslim men arrested over historic child gang-rape/sex trafficking dating back to 2006 [More]
I'd ask what the equivalent of a Happy Meal is over there, but then realized it'd also probably have to be Halal...

That's as Many as There are Dalmations!


The following six localities became sanctuaries tonight, making the total 101! [More]
I note a couple "4 to 1s" in there and hope the locals are keeping tabs to make them pay.

UPDATE: That makes 90%.

Someone Else to Blame


Are Cuomo and the legislature prepared to face the consequences when even the volitional act of drinking alcohol, and presumably taking drugs as well, vitiates the capacity to be responsible for choices, like getting shit-faced and then having sex? [More]

You'd think such patronizing and treating them like retards would offend a liberated woman.  But it's not like "progressives" have to be consistent as long as they get what they want.

Obvious... Paging Captain Obvious...

Government Funded 'Gun Violence' Research Is Really Political Propaganda [More]
My observation about the Republicans who OK'd this is equally obvious.

Do the Math


Pay close attention to this insanity. It's not just about rewarding law-breakers with driving privileges. Our country's election integrity is under siege by foreign influence. Mass migration, legal and illegal, is bringing in millions of potential new voters who support gun control, socialized medicine, expanded welfare, free speech restrictions and resistance to immigration enforcement. Do the political math... [More] 

I have.

But when it comes to applying it to RKBA advocacy, the equations are mysteriously ignored by those who you'd think would stand to lose the most.

Piecekeeping Mission

A shocking number of uniformed and non-uniformed peacekeeping personnel have been linked to human rights abuses including sexual exploitation, rape, and even unlawful deaths. [More]
Which goes a long way in explaining this...

We're the Only Ones Trolling Enough


Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo resigned his post days after he admitted to creating a fake Twitter account to taunt one of his critics. [More]
That's a shame -- he seemed so suited for the job.
