UnAmerican University

In her speech to those gathered, Polomis said “I cannot learn, I cannot grow if I’m in my dorm room scared for my life.” [More]

Stop everything! We've got a neurosis to indulge!

And did someone say "Die-In"?

A Model of Self-Control

“Harvey was charged with sexual battery. His bond was set at $50,000. This isn’t Harvey’s first run-in with the law; previous arrests range from disorderly conduct and resisting arrest to grand theft and armed robbery. Harvey was out on bond for a felony arrest when the attempted assault occurred”... [More]

Some people simply can't be allowed access to the rest of us.

We're the Only Ones Trespassing Enough

 Game wardens must have a warrant to conduct surveillance on private land and may not rely on the power of the federal Open Fields doctrine. On March 22, 2022, the Benton County Circuit Court declared trespassing and surveillance by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) personnel on private property as illegal, according to the Tennessee Constitution. [More]

Does that mean you can use rock salt on 'em?

“Heaven Wants to Destroy the CCP” -  Hundreds of Millions Quitting the Chinese Communist Party [More]

The Anticommunism Action Team tells us of a growing movement that is simultaneously hopeful and fraught with great danger.

We're the Only Ones Unclear on the Concept Enough

 The court also reversed the grant of summary judgment after concluding that a reasonable jury could find for Wood on this issue, an analysis which leaned in part on an officer’s remark to Wood in the squad car following his arrest: “How’s that work? You got a shirt that says “f the police,” but you want us to uphold the Constitution?” [More]

That's how it works.

And without qualified immunity if you decide to play tough guy.

This is What They Call 'The Gunshine State'?

Weaponizing Redistricting for Vengeance is Not Okay [More]

There's an understatement.

So how come an "A"-rated endorsee sides with Democrats?

The Royal 'We'

 “This is a policy that endangers students on campus every day,” Dombrowski complained to The Detroit News. “We don’t have an issue with people owning guns [but] there are certain places where we have to decide that weapons are not necessary, and Michigan State’s campus is one of those places,” she said.  [More]

Who is this "we" and what authority do they presume to hold over my decisions?

Timing is Everything

 H.R.6950 - No Gun Lists Act of 2022 [More]

Sounds like a great idea, right? Too bad it appears to be pre-midterms posturing with no chance of making it through without majority changes in the House and Senate, and a non-Swamp Republican winning the White House in '24:

Prognosis- 1% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs

Let's see what changes they make when they're in a position to make them.  We saw what a "great job" they did on national reciprocity and hearing protection when they had the chance...

Tiny ‘Glock Switches’ Have Quietly Flooded the US With Deadly Machine Guns ... An investigation by VICE News and The Trace... [More]

Vice News and The Trace

So we can count on fairness and balance? Or is this the exception to the ad hominem/logical fallacy rule?

I ask because I keep coming back to "every terrible implement of the soldier" and don't see any delegated authority for government that overrides "shall not be infringed."  And as we all know, anyone who can't be trusted with an "auto sear" can't be trusted without a custodian, so once more we seem to be looking at a deliberate wrong focus with the scarcely concealed intent of denying semiautomatics to "We the People"...

The Enemy Within

White House celebrates radical Maoist who openly admired Osama bin Laden after 9/11 [More]

And if you've got a problem with appointed functionaries doing that, you're an anti-government extremist.

I Will Not Compy

“I will not comply!” pops up first, frequently followed by “I had this tragic boating accident.” What may have been amusing a dozen years ago has lost its oomph. Besides, trying to be clever to get around a dumb gun law can end badly, and such claims are juvenile at best. [More]

Yeah, I remember your boss's alternative approach.

I disagree with you both and pose the following to anyone who maintains otherwise:

What will you do if ordered to register your firearms? What will you do if ordered to surrender them because they have been declared “illegal”? Will you obey political and judicial criminals betraying their oaths to the “supreme Law of the Land,” or will you resolve “I will not comply”?

We will not disarm.

Oh, look: Juveniles, at best.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Brainless

 Hayden Panettiere and BF Brian Hickerson Get in Massive Brawl with Bar Patrons [Watch]

I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me and my wife over the years.

That's the guy she had to get a restraining order against not too long ago.

Any surprise that even John McCain was too "conservative" for her?

If You Believe in the Constitution...

Rise or Fall

T.L. Davis notes how we got to here from there and, the choices we'll now have to make going forward.

Survey SAYS...

ARE YOU MORE LIKELY OR LESS LIKELY TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE FOR U.S. CONGRESS WHO SUPPORTS JOE BIDEN’S POSITION TO BAN THE SALE OF 9-MILLIMETER HANDGUNS AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLES? ... MORE LIKELY 41.4 ... LESS LIKELY 43.1...

WHEN YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIA’S MILITARY INVASION OF THE UKRAINE, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR AMERICANS TO DEFEND THEIR 2ND AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN GUNS FOR THEIR PERSONAL PROTECTION” ... AGREE 66.1 ... DISAGREE 25.7... [More]

 I'd ease up on the rah-rah. What these cognitively dissonant responses tell me is most poll respondents don't have a clue about what they're being asked about.
