Profiles in Cowardice

Regrettably, gun voter disillusionment with Republicans’ inaction almost certainly contributed to the rout suffered by your party in the most recent elections. [More]

It’s like they’re so myopic they can’t realize they need us much more than we need them– unless you were planning on turning your guns in…

Question: What’s “honorable” about a representative too gutless to champion fundamental rights?

Meanwhile, Over in the Independence Hall State…

Josh Shapiro Won the Trifecta, Which Means ‘We’re Comin’ for Your Guns’ [More]

Pennsylvania gun owners have gotten out of politics what they’ve put into it.

Quick: What’s the red meat state gun rights group there? How many members? Where’s their outreach? What kind of political war chest did they have?

We’re the Only Ones Five-Timing Enough

Each year, San Diego police officers attend two mandatory training sessions and must complete a qualifying shoot for their service weapon. If they fail the first time, they’ll get a second, third, fourth, and fifth opportunity to pass. But if they fail all five, they get assigned to desk duty and forced to go through remedial training. The repeated failure also earns them an unofficial moniker – a “five-timer.” [More]

The only ones professional enough… I wonder if there are any DEI characteristics the failing personnel have in common that would be the basis for a discrimination lawsuit… or is it wrong and bad of me to consider?

Rank really does hath its privileges. Anti-gun big shots like Heather Fong and Charles Ramsey just didn’t take the test.

We’re the Only Ones Mistaken Enough

“… depending on the design of the FRT, law enforcement may mistake an FRT for an MCD, leading to the incorrect arrest or charge of an individual with possession of a machine gun.” [Download]

I guess it’s a good thing none of those idiots were around yesterday…

We’re the Only Ones True Believers Enough

Conquered from Within: How Terror-Tied MPAC Is Placing Islamic Operatives Inside American Police Departments [More]

Back the Azraq!

Forget that swearing the naturalization oath and oath of office is forbidden by Islamic Sharia.

And we were worried about blue helmets…

Unwelcome Center

St. Augustine pays $40K to settle lawsuit over guns at downtown visitors center [More]

I understand Florida Carry gave them every chance to do the right thing but City Attorney Isabelle Lopez had other ideas. I guess the settlement won’t come out of any bureaucrats’ personal pockets.

‘Des Moines Man’

The “Des Moines man” who shot two McDonald’s employees over a wrong order is Hassan Mohamed, a Somali citizen from Kenya [More]

I’m sure there’s a reason “real reporters” do this that us “justabloggers” aren’t educated enough to understand.

Just Like the Framers Intended?

The U.S. Department of Justice will contemplate how to proceed after a federal judge this week dismissed its challenge of a Montgomery County restriction on firearms in public places that the administration claims is unconstitutional. [More]

Here’s the “rationale” for violating oaths and denying rights under color of authority. Imagine if this were advocated in the ratification debates.

Get used to more of this with Harmeet jumping ship and Jesus ascending.

Straight party line vote to confirm this dweeb, showing just what dangerous territory we’re being swept into.

Maybe we should be more inviting to Democrats…?

May It Please the Court

SCOTUS gives U.S. solicitor general permission to argue against gun ban [More]

Tell us again how Democrats could be sucked hard enough to do this.

Anybody figure out yet if this Viramontes character was a Democrat plant intended to withdraw and sabotage standing at the last minute, and just what amount of character checking those who bet the donations on him did? Their major energy right now appears to be scrambling to save face by assuring us all is fine.

Either/Or/Neither/Nor

Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority in the 2008 case, District of Columbia v. Heller, attributed the “dangerous and unusual” language to Sir William Blackstone, an 18th-century English jurist whose writings became the basis for much of American law. But in his seminal 1769 treatise, “Commentaries on the Laws of England, ” Blackstone referred to weapons that were “dangerous or unusual, ” suggesting that a gun did not need to be both in order to be restricted. [More]

Playing “Gotcha” with semantics, are we? Now do “shall not be infringed.”

Name a weapon that’s not dangerous when deployed.

What further proof than this latest bit of subversion from the newsraper of record do we need that the end game is total citizen disarmament?

Feeding Frenzy

Texas Democrats Waste No Time Going After Guns: 16 Bills Filed So Far [More]

They’ve got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes… and those black eyes roll over white…

Related UPDATE

Looks like 16 was wishful thinking. [More]

And, of course, once they get those, they’ll be back for more.

You Might Not Want to Uncork the GOOD Champagne…

Ohio Lawmakers Pass Sweeping Suppressor, SBR and SBS Reform, Send SB 214 to Governor DeWine [More]

Yeah, well, I just don’t trust the guy.

And even if he grudgingly signs, and I doubt it will be without comment, I’m not seeing the feds rolling over for it once Democrats take over. They’ll know who acquired them under the relaxed infringements. They’re gonna put a stop to that and they’re gonna want “their” $4,700.

Speaking of Fantasy

The mission should be Removing Gun Control from the agenda of the Democratic Party. [More]

Yeah, how you doing on that? After all these years, got any names that have done more than throw out an occasional crumb while empowering those going for the whole cake? How many more years do you project until you turn that around, and why not share your plan for changing the media narrative? In the meantime what happens?

Everybody realizes the Republicans are, for the most part, self-serving poltroons who need constant monitoring and course corrections. But again, for the most part, they’re our poltroons, and they’re the ones who can be pressured, if only by threats. Take that away and you open the door to more defections.

There are no true pro-2A Democrats. That’s a myth. WTF are self-described “no compromisers” doing promulgating this nonsense? And WHOTF are the moron comment posters saying they support 2A but voted blue?

And speaking of being offensive, this character should know. You will know him by the company he keeps.

The $64,000 Question

Twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to storm United cockpit, threatening bomb: DHS [More]

From comments:

How did he even get on the flight with all of the new ID and Passport Restrictions that have come into play the last couple of years????

Inquiring minds want to know.

Particularly the ones who have gone the extra miles to get certified with TSA Precheck and CLEAR.
