Friday the 13th Redux


 My conversation with host Mark Walters... [Listen]

The Obvious Solution

 Man accused of slugging Rick Moranis has history of assaulting strangers [More]

So he can't be trusted with his hands...?

Hidden Costs

Northam backs effort to legalize recreational use of marijuana in Virginia [More]

He just wants to create more "prohibited persons."

[Via Mack H]

But Won't That Devalue His Collection?

Prominent leftist YouTuber calls for the legalization of child pornography [More]

Give it a few years and anyone against will be "canceled" as a "hater"!

Two Can Play That Game

 Kirkland & Ellis’s lawyer tried to deny one of their attorneys harassed and threatened Linda Kerns before finally admitting it and then defending the conduct. [More]

Really?

I wonder if one of their lawyers will threaten me?

Give Up or They'll Hurt Us Worse?

 The stubborn refusal of President Donald J. Trump and many other Republicans to accept the November 3 outcome is likely to become a new talking point for Electoral College foes. [More]

Because it's all "baseless," right?

You want to see stubborn refusal, let's talk compliance with Biden's gun-grab agenda. I'm for throwing every obstacle in front of that people can find. Forgive me if recommending surrender to men who are armed and intent on staying that way, coming from the spokesflack for a "politically non-aligned" self-styled "rebellion," sounds like so much bleating.

And as for engineering a tyranny of the majority, well, I've got a "Democracy" piece due out on Firearms News soon that will cover all the checks and balances the totalitarians are trying to do away with. Sounds like more stubborn refusal is in order.

We're the Only Ones Spoiling the Barrel Enough

 “A few bad apples.” It’s a recurring phrase used to describe police when accusations of excessive force or misconduct arise. [More]

You can say that again and again and again and...

The Mailing Lists I Get On

Does anyone see anything here that looks remotely like vital and necessary public work instead of meaningless "make work" for political reasons and to keep the tax plunder coming in? [More]

I'm wondering if this whole thing folded up tomorrow if anyone but the career trough-feeders who fail to police housing code violations and plead guilty to taking bribes for permits would notice.

Do I Sense Some 'Not Invented Here' Jealousy?

BATFE Leadership Push Biden to Target Pistol Stabilizing Braces and Unfinished Receivers [More]

Funny, who started that "reclassification" ball rolling...

As long as Trump is in attack mode and the Dems will try to destroy him no matter what he does, why not fire Lombardo and Richardson?

[Via Jess]

Sounds Good to Me

Michigan lawmaker calls for Whitmer's impeachment... [More]

Now we see if they're serious or just making noise.

Sorry for raising doubts, but Republicans with cojones is a new one on me.

We're the Only Ones Repetitive Enough

 D.C. Cops Direct Trump-Supporters into Gauntlet of Protesters, Do Nothing When They Are Assaulted [More]

Hey, do what you know works, right?

[Via Michael G]

Merci, Capitaine Évident

 Nice Church Attack and Paris Teacher Beheading Linked, French Investigators Say [More]

Nothing gets past these guys, does it?

[Via Michael G]

So Much for 'Common Sense'


Are Mexico’s stringent gun control laws aiding a rise in cartel violence? [More]

So it's not "lax U.S. gun laws"...?

Obviously a Racist with a Small P****

 

There are a couple areas where I'd ask her to consider some counter-arguments, but on the whole, she has a much better understanding than most Americans and all Democrats.

This is the type of immigrant whose admission here would be entirely consistent with the Preamble because admitting such individuals absolutely helps to "secure the Blessings of Liberty." That said, info I've seen says she's living in South Korea, and their gun laws are restrictive.

And yeah, I'm aware she has her doubters.

Shannon's PO'd

 But I notice she doesn't deny they wouldn't... [More]

I can think of all kinds of photos you could use.

How would you say "Everytown" in German?

[Via bondmen]

That's Gratitude for Ya

 ST. LOUIS – A father of four was shot and killed last month by a man whom he helped out of a crashed vehicle. [More]

But...but...but Operation LeGend...

[Via bondmen]

The March of Folly

 According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, homicides in St. Louis decreased by more than 50% during the 12 weeks the Operation has been in place compared to the 12 weeks prior. The city saw 111 homicides from May 12 to Aug. 12 compared to 52 homicides between Aug. 13 and Nov. 5. Overall crime has decreased by 26.6% since the Operation began.  [More]

That means, in spite of throwing all the king's horses and all the king's men at it, it's still operating at 73.4% "efficiency." And that means...

Keep going after the effects and ignoring the causes. Who thinks anything will ultimately change, except for a growing collectivist state to futilely try to contain problems of its own making?

[Via bondmen]

Selective Tolerance

 St. Louis County's top prosecutor will 'not tolerate' health order violators [More]

So is this a "public health crisis" or not?

I  guess going after small businesses trying to keep from going under is more doable and generally considered safer.

[Via bondmen]

We're the Only Ones Unschooled Enough

St. Louis County police question newly-passed resolution discouraging officers in schools [More]

It's almost like they want claiming rights for one of their "gun-free zones" as the birthplace of the next "assault weapon" ban -- you know, just in case the "school resource officer" tried to do more than hide.

[Via bondmen]

Funny How That Works

 A federal judge in New York ruled on Saturday that Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program for illegal alien children was illegally suspended by Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf because the acting secretary, according to the judge, assumed his position unlawfully. [More]

But the acting Attorney General was within his authority to declare untold numbers of citizens felons unless they surrendered or destroyed lawfully obtained private property?
