Gone Fishin’*

Ahabmoby

I’ll be out of office until the 19th, so please hold off on news tips until my return. If I can get to comments by phone I will try as I can, but understand if it takes a day or so…

I do have some articles I’m expecting will be published before I leave, so hopefully I’ll have time to publicize them. If I do, scroll below this post because I want to keep it on top.

* Yes, it’s a euphemism. We all know how I feel about killing animals.

My Kind of Town

When someone is shooting in the park, nobody is looking at the race of the shooter. People are screaming, “That’s the shooter, that’s the shooter!” [More]

No, that’s the trigger puller.

The revolution will never be complete if we can’t get the language right.

As for the disparity in reactions, you can get a lot more mileage out of it if it’s a white trigger puller and Black victim.

Forget it, Jake…

Young Guns

Three total juveniles were taken into custody, but a 15-year-old and 13-year-old are facing charges of improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation, carrying concealed weapons and inducing panic… “This 13-year-old bought this gun two weeks ago, a semi-automatic loaded handgun — no training, no skill whatsoever. Just bought a handgun on the street and comes out to Canfield and shoots it,” Colucci said. [More]

If that doesn’t convince you we need more gun control, I don’t know what will!

Canfield Fair? I’m surprised Team Amy isn’t bawling about another brush with death…

We’re the Only Ones Informal Enough

Court records show that Hamtramck Police Chief Jamiel Altaheri personally engaged in a “pattern” of domestic violence in his own household, and told officers that wife-beating isn’t a “formal” crime. [More]

Embrace the vibrancy!

A Direct Deposit

An armed customer in Cedar Hill, Texas, shot and killed an alleged bank robber Monday morning in a Chase branch around 9:00 a.m. [More]

Until he’s cleared, shouldn’t it be “allegedly shot and killed”?

Why’s a gun owner doing business with a bank that terminated the account of the Wiki Weapon Project’s company, Defense Distributed “without warning or explanation”?

Birthing person intercourse participants…

Something tells me they would not appreciate this

Captain’s Log

CaptainsLog

I’ve quite frankly been disappointed (but not surprised) at how few voices in the Second Amendment advocacy community have chosen to amplify the information in these exclusive reports.

Herschel is one of the very few, and I thank him for it.

Explosive Allegations

That is a speech case dressed up as a bomb case. If that theory holds, the next creator who posts a technical explainer is one saved file away from the same indictment. [More]

Much more dangerous is the crucible ideology that formed Shamsud-Din Jabbar, and the First Amendment applies there, too.

I see DOJ is still being bipolar.

If not, Harmeet would be defending this guy, except it looks like her permitted scope of operations is politically calculated.

Feeding the Destroyers

This is what’s wrong with Minnesota, generally. It’s why Somalis collected millions of dollars in fraudulent benefits. The state is so liberal, so generous in terms of giving out various kinds of welfare, that it naturally attracts scum, including criminals from Chicago who move there and get ridiculous “affordable housing” subsidies. Taxpayer subsidies to support a public menace… [More]

See? This is why Minnesota Democrats need to ban your guns.

Raining on the Parade

Grnc

I’m told a couple of keyboard commandos recently opined that GRNC “isn’t doing anything,” and that we’re “just in it for the money” (or words to that effect). Ignoring, for a moment, the question of why an all-volunteer organization that doesn’t pay anybody would be in it for the money(??), let’s take a look at what GRNC and its non-profit arm, Rights Watch International(RWI), having been doing with your hard-earned money. [More]

Yeah, I’ve been accused of not doing enough and being in it for the money myself. Supermodels and yacht parties can have that effect on a guy.

People who do the least sure make a lot of noise. I gotta wonder how many complainers contributed to this Rights Watch effort.

As much as we point out the odiousness of the antis around here, we’d be remiss not to acknowledge the “gun community” has its share of @$$holes.

Fair Reporting

Here is the REAL STORY About Today’s Arrest at Ohio Democrat Amy Acton at Canfield Fair Stop [More]

The man didn’t lunge at her. There was no assassination attempt. Guns were never drawn. The man involved has been released. She, her campaign, and the “real reporters” at the Cincinnati News are liars.

We know the Canfield Fair is anal about posting “No Guns” signs on structures– does anyone know if that applies to tents?

This does, however, make challenging those bans more difficult, if not as a matter of law then as a matter of overcoming politically-ginned up, hate-filled hysterical mob outrage.

Moron should’a known better. You don’t push/knock people over in any case, but especially not while armed.

Devil’s Benefits

An MS-13 gang member convicted in a savage execution-style murder is out of federal custody in California after a federal judge ordered his immediate release, igniting fury from the Trump administration. U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta ordered the release of David Antonio Aviles Perez, 35, aka “the witch,” after finding that immigration officials held him for five months without giving him a bond hearing or determining whether he posed a danger to the public or a flight risk. [More]

From the “We hold these truths to be self evident” file: He checks both boxes off that last bit, and I note they’re both couched as “or,” not “and.” As for the first bit, we do want to make sure the government dots i’s and crosses t’s, but that said, the immigrant judge has made it clear which side her “discretion” lands her on.

Oh, look: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski broke with the Rs and voted to confirm her.
