So Much for the Courage of Their Convictions

Madison Cawthorn Mocks Maddow Producer Who 'Worried' He Would Want to Go on Show [More]

WarOnGuns has obtained exclusive MSNBC audio.

So all this bluster about having a "national conversation" is just that, and the only thing they really want is to control a forum where they can dictate the demand for our surrender and we don't get to talk back?

Is it fair to think that their side actually has more low-hanging fruit but that "ours" gets most of the press?

A Very Particular Set of Skills

I had the "opportunity" the other night to finally watch The Marksman.

We've visited this money-maker before.

Anti-gun in real-life Liam Neeson plays an Arizona rancher/former Marine sniper intent on getting an "unaccompanied minor" illegal alien to his relatives of unknown legal status living in anti-gun Chicago.

Spoiler alerts aplenty follow.

Just to show how ignorant scriptwriters are about the laws Hollywood types are desperate to pile on, when stopped by a cop in pre-"constitutional carry"Texas and asked if he has any firearms, the Arizonan admits to a handgun under his seat and a rifle in the back of his truck. But he assures him they're both "registered."

Being pursued by cartels who came across the border -- legally, with visas -- he stops at a brick-and-mortar gun store in Oklahoma to buy more guns. Apparently being from out of state is no problem. The FFL tells him the system is down, so he has to come back the next day. He assures the FFL he needs them and is not a criminal, inducing the man who has his whole life tied up in his store that he isn't being played, which is all it takes to get the man to tell Neesom OK, he'll just "report them as stolen."

A bit later he figures he needs to teach the kid how to shoot and does so without eye and ear protection, and ends up handing the child a gun to keep on his person.

Once in Illinois, just south of Chicago, the FOIDless Neesom engages in the grand finale gun battle with the cartel and then drops the child off with said unknown-status relatives who, if any reality can be injected into things at this point, will no doubt raise him so that, once his "pathway to citizenship" has been bestowed, he will grow up to become a "gun sense" Democrat politician.

I haven't been this unimpressed with Hollywood's "knowledge" of gun laws since that crappy Death Wish remake where Bruce Willis buys a new machinegun from a Chi-Town gun store.

The stuff that dreams are made of, indeed...

Thank You for Flying Sharia Air

 The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined a bid by a former ExpressJet Airlines Inc flight attendant, who is Muslim, to decide whether her lawsuit claiming she was fired for refusing to serve alcohol to passengers belongs in arbitration. [More]

So she wouldn't have served the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?

Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss.

Gun Prohibitionists Hacks Going All-In to Disarm the Legally Innocent

It might be relevant to ask why such an obscure effort rates major national exposure in a premier, nationally-heeded newspaper, but anyone who has followed the symbiotic suckfest between oath-breaking politicians, the DSM, and the violence monopoly cultists sees this happen daily. Plus, we’ve all been exposed over the years to plenty of Astroturf presenting itself as popular grassroots demand. [More]

And the correct response to those who demand we obey insane totalitarians is...?

Speaking of 'Shall Not Be Infringed'...

According to the plea agreement, undercover agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with the help of a confidential informant, purchased 14 firearms from Goldman’s vendor booth at a flea market... [More]

Who? Goddam weasel...

That said, I've seen vendors like this at flea markets and marveled that they were so apparently unconcerned with "the rules"...

Some day I need to find the time to get Wayback Machine links for my John Shipley articles.

It's a Start

 Up until now, the only prosecution at all related to Gunwalker was that of the killers of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was murdered using one of the Gunwalker firearms. Today, I learned that we are finally seeing trafficking prosecutions. In Mexico. [More]

I wish I could believe there's a chance some Americans will be given up.

Now watch this be exploited to repeat the cycle of demanding more laws here.

On the First Guess

What The Great Ammunition Shortage Says About Inflation [More]

That Democrat economic policies discourage practice by making things too expensive, especially for new gun owners, and therefore result in the exact opposite of "commonsense gun safety"?

PMF PMS

 Most of the guns were untraceable "privately made firearms" (PMF's), known as "ghost guns." [More]

Will this affect their grade?

So how did they trace them, and would they have objected less if the guns were numbered?

There Goes the Narrative

The latest setback for prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case means the ‘media narrative [is] now completely destroyed’... It’s a “non-criminal citation” [More]

Would sending them a Nelson Muntz GIF be frowned upon by anyone I should give a damn about...?

The Spirit of the Law

“The pieces of the legislation that weren't talked about were the pieces about reorganizing the code, the weapons code…basically criminalizing youth a little bit more.” CdeBaca said. “I think this emerged from the protests. People had umbrellas or they had their airsoft guns or they had other things to protect themselves from the pepper spray that was being deployed by the police officers, and now that bill made all of that a crime.” [More]

Gotta make sure Antifa isn't disarmed.

Give a Little Whistle

Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith (D-43) is asking her constituents to buy whistles and blow them if they see certain crimes unfold. [More]

And she says "Get serious."

I wonder how many have invited Michelle to blow something else.

I don't suppose he could name one "conservative" who advocates preventing legitimate voters from doing so?

And yes, of course, he's all in for no borders and no guns.

Good thing the one has nothing to do with the other, right?
