Apples and Oranges

 While the First Amendment permits states to require licenses for demonstrations (for reasons of externalities that also underlie licensing requirements for guns), such licenses cannot be unreasonably delayed as that delay effectively undermines the right of free speech. [More]

Buying a gun does not require closing off public areas and making provisions for accomodating and controlling traffic and crowds.

The Self-Anointed Arbiters of 'Extreme' on Guns

 Amy Coney Barrett is even more “extreme” on gun rights than her Republican defenders in the Senate [More]

And your point is?

Salon... isn't that the outfit that advocates "gutless NRA cowards ... can have a gun, once you understand the pain of being shot”? 

More on Amy Coney Barrett and guns:

Framing the Terms

Received by email:

In this 1984ish way we're re-naming/new-speaking so many things/groups/individuals, how about we re-label the "anti's" as "Infringers"?   This would cause those not clued-in to the struggle to think: "Infringers.....of what"?   Our side could then be right there, ready to provide all the details.  And for the already enlightened, it will provide them a brand new ear-catching verbal club to beat the commie-left senseless.  Remember the old saying about "He who controls the language....."   Well.....two can play that game!

Yep, Orwell knew.

We were promoting a similar effort 20 years ago on our old GunTruths site.

Heading for Happier Days!

 Federal agents say new ballistics tool will help curb Richmond’s recent spike in violent crime [More]

How long have I been hearing this tune about a federal cure for Richmond?

I'll raise the same points I did here...

On Hold for Now

ATF Pistol Brace Reversal Political Move, 60-Day Suspension of Honey Badger Decision [More]

Herschel has more.

I may as well-- I'm following up on the feasibility of an idea I got while writing this.

At Least It's Not Contagious

 University of Minnesota lecture features 12 step recovery program for whiteness [More]

In other words, it's a genetic disease/congenital disorder that can't be cured but can be managed...?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Compromised' Is

 CISA is aware of some instances where this activity resulted in unauthorized access to elections support systems; however, CISA has no evidence to date that integrity of elections data has been compromised. [More]

What the hell do you call hackers not being stopped from getting into the system?

Forgive me for questioning the assurances of the same people who can't figure out what Hillary deleted.

A Dead Elephant Tradition

 “Where is the GOP’s priorities? Where are the lawyers for the Republican Party? How does the GOP complain about one instance of election interference while completely ignoring the other while being completely aware?” Loomer’s post continued. “Did you know that the RNC has refused to issue a statement about the fact that my campaign is the only deplatformed campaign in the nation despite the fact that they have been contacted multiple times about my campaign being banned?” [More]

The party hacks think "moderation" is the key and the embedded destroyers working for the Democrats don't want to disabuse them of that notion until it doesn't matter anymore.

Face the Music

 Many top-selling rap artists have been implicated or convicted of violent crimes, including murder, manslaughter, attempted murder and armed robbery. [More]

And no one is worried that this is what tens of millions are rewarding and imprinting off of?

I wonder if an out-and-out racist would be able to figure out a more destructive thing to do to them and to the country than what the high-living industry elites, really no better than pushers and pimps, have pulled off.

So Much for Their 'Fair Share'

 Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and husband Nick Mosby - Democratic nominee for City Council president - were slapped with a $45,000 lien via the IRS for three years of unpaid taxes.  [More]

And to top it off, she "has an Executive Protection Team, made up of Baltimore Police detectives, who travel with her."

I guess with all that going for them, it'd be easy to be an anti-gun tax-and-spend Democrat.

We're the Only Ones Through a Class Darkly Enough

 In less than four months, the new academy will be open at Lincoln University in Jefferson City and it will stand out from all the rest because it will be the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to house an academy. The new police academy in the state’s capital city hopes to bring more diversity to the police force. [More]

Does it sound to anyone else like what they're going for is the opposite of "diverse"?

Urban LeGend

 US Attorney General in St. Louis today focusing on crime-fighting initiative [More]

All that and surveillance and Shotspotter too?

Still going after effects instead of causes, I see.

Where's the delegated federal authority for this again?

The Sappiest Place on Earth

 The bellman handling the bag to bring to the man’s room wondered why it was so heavy, made the discovery and reported it to his manager, who then contacted the sheriff’s office, the report said. [More]

So has he been fired?

That said, the gun owner seems a couple rounds short of a "30 magazine clip" himself, for not using a locked case, but also for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

What's in a Headline?

 Not guilty plea from St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters [More]

Readers (and potential jurors) would get a totally different feel if it more accurately stated "Not guilty plea from St. Louis couple who pointed guns at mob that broke down security gate and invaded private property."

The Gun-Grabbers' Dictionary: 'Gun Sense': A Monopoly of Violence Forcing You to Disarm at Gunpoint.

 President of the Brady Campaign admits they don’t believe in civilian gun ownership [More]

Their founder Pete Shields told us as much back in 1976.

But no one's talking about taking our guns, right?

I wish someone on "our side" would take these idiots up on their "militia" noises.

Kinder, Gentler 'Gun Control'?

 Well, they're not really common sense gun rights restrictions [More]

On that much, we can agree. 

Roll back incrementally where feasible (and it's interesting I see an approximation of BIDS), but never presuppose the enemy is interested in anything but total control.

Looks Like Muskrat Love

 Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz resigns over what he calls ‘unacceptable personal conduct’ [More]

And what a hot mess she turns out to be.

Why are people who can't control their own lives so bent on controlling ours?

They’re Not Even Pretending Anymore

 Our Tech Oligarchs are all-in for the Democrats. [More]

Until such time as useful idiots are no longer needed and the "operatives" are unleashed.

Make Them Yelp

 Rioters Trash Portland Restaurant After Antifa 'Reviewers' Target It, But the Black Owner Just Got the Last Word [More]

I'd say the last word will be when he forces a legal settlement out of the idiot virtue oozers at white-run Yelp.

Bad for the Goose, Good for the Gander?

 

So you want to sic armed cops on your countrymen engaged in lawful activities but don't want any personal repercussions? Not even if filing a false police report calls for another complaint to be filed?
