Oregon Gun Storage Bill Endangers and Blames Victims

 

And as usual with such reports, it presents “expert opinions” from “authorities” as diverse as the police, Democrat politicians, and Moms Demand Action members, even citing Everytown “studies” for added “credibility”! [More]

There is one tactic that could throw sand in the gears, but that depends on enough gun owners letting Republicans know they expect them to deny a quorum.

Don't Hold Your Breath

 

And what did we just get done noting about another Green bill?

By Any Other Name

 Wall Street Journal Forbids Writers From Using the Phrase ‘Illegal Immigrant’ [More]

So they are effectively admitting that truth is something they proactively suppress.

Remember the old Soviet truism about Pravda and Izvestia?

And Leave the Thinking to Us!

Study finds drivers using adaptive cruise control are more likely to speed, thinking A.I. will protect them [More]

Just like "smart guns" will protect our children!

An Idea Whose Time Has Come -- and Gone

 Protect America First Act: Donald J. Trump Wall, End Birthright Citizenship [More]

It all makes perfect sense. That's why it's going nowhere.

We saw what got done under GOP majorities. And there's not a chance in hell under the current roll call. Besides, establishment Republicans have already shown they consider declawing Rep. Green the more urgent priority... 

A Few Good Persons

Could these men be more woke – or condescending in their defense of helpless military women?  [More]

If women warriors are just as tough and capable of holding their own, how are all the assaults possible?

Expecting More

 Target is careful to only cite economic reasons for abandoning their downtown Minneapolis headquarters [More]

Anybody really believe "woke" corporate useful idiots won't get their turn in the barrel when they're no longer needed...?

Intents and Purposes

Unfortunately, our federal laws contain far too many provisions that do not require prosecutors to prove a defendant intended to commit a crime. [More]

OK, I suppose.

But if I intend to not comply with a tyrannical edict it's all OK?

Endangering Children

Armed Mom Who Stopped Attacker BLASTS Nancy Pelosi, “My Child Wouldn’t Be Alive!” [More]

So the politician bankrupting future generations with insane and unsustainable debt thinks it's about "Children, children, children"?

Well, in a way it is...

As for a law about reporting illegals who try to buy a gun, at the risk of sounding like a broken record by criticizing "conservative gun control," I submit a more effective solution would be to remove them from the country and have the means to keep them out.

 How Big Tech Is Importing India’s Caste Legacy to Silicon Valley [More]

Haven't Covid shutdowns proven that most of these jobs can be done remotely via telework? Why do they need to physically live here?

The humane thing to do would be to not force them to leave their homes and extended families and friends, and to pay them what they'd be paid here, allowing them to share the wealth with their countrymen based on products and services they would now be in a position to pay for locally. That is assuming qualified Americans can't be found, since the Preamble requires government actons "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

Could it be there is some other agenda...?

An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Rep. Andrew Clyde’s Big Idea: Restore Second Amendment and eliminate all taxes on firearms [More]

Excellent points!

Sounds just like the sort of thing the GOP wouldn't do a thing with if they controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

Heads We Win, Tails You Lose

 WATCH: Pelosi says it's okay to overturn an election if a Republican wins [More]

I imagine challenging that would be dismissed as "baseless."

We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

 Senate Bill 6 and House Bill 2273 both state someone could be arrested if they post to an online site “the information of a law enforcement officer with the intent to threaten, intimidate, harass, or stalk.” According to the bills, this includes “name...” or “a photograph or any other realistic likeness.” [More]

Because they're so scrupulous about protecting our safety and privacy.

What if the intent is to ridicule and any intent to intimidate or harass is inferred...?

Talk about bringing style to the White House...

That doesn't mean they're not busy.

Hoist with Their Own Petard

[S]ome officials from the now essentially outlawed formerly ruling National League for Democracy Party, which was headed by State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi before her arrest, are calling for citizens to arm themselves against security forces. [More]

How, geniuses? You're the ones who made sure they were unarmed in the damn first place.

We're the Only Ones Uncontrolling Enough

 I admit to second-guessing here but I see all kinds of failure to control leading up to this, and when it finally got to the car video where I could see the officer, my first thought was to wonder how someone even more morbidly obese than the perp could possibly be qualified for patrol duties.
