Poland surpasses 1 million registered guns as Poles continue to arm themselves [More]
Based on old numbers, it doesn’t seem out of line to speculate there are half again as many unregistered one.

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee’s vehicle was stolen Monday after someone broke into her office, according to the Oakland Police Officers Association (OPOA). The police union confirmed that someone tampered with the door of Lee’s office and stole the keys to her city-issued vehicle. [More]
How is this not an inside job? The story would be even more amusing if it turned out she had a gun in the car.

Biting Off More Than They Can Chew
The delay came after Miranda Viscoli, executive director of New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, had warned the legislation was “legally vulnerable and likely to backfire.” “By passing a ban this broad, we are handing the U.S. Supreme Court a perfect opportunity to deliver a definitive, nationwide ruling against state-level firearm restrictions,” Viscoli told The New Mexican last week.

Let the Republicans blow the midterms and the Epstein brouhaha hand over the presidency in ’28, and we’ll see a whole new SCOTUS shortly thereafter bent on torpedoing Heller, McDonald and Bruen.

Supply and Demand
So where are the cartels getting their arms?
Anyway, I’d like to examine another side of this:
What do you guys do with the recovered guns? Do you try to return stolen ones to theft victims? Do you try to prosecute sellers? Will you make any available to We the People for the security of a free State, maybe turn ’em over to the CMP for resale, or do you just have them destroyed? By whom?

Some refuse to accept the parameters being defined for them, “don’t believe in the no-win scenario,” and don’t consider a writhing platter of gagh to be a gourmet meal.

And Thank You for Your Service
Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons” only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits… In addition to immediately stopping the reporting of VA Fiduciary Program participants to NICS, the department is working with the FBI to remove all past VA reporting from NICS, so no Veterans are unfairly deprived of their Second Amendment rights based solely on participation in VA’s Fiduciary Program… The Department of Justice supports this action.

Still not answered: What did Shannon Watts know and when did she know it when she was Vice President of Corporate and Public Affairs Company for PR firm Fleishman-Hillard from 1998 to 2001, claiming she “Directed [a] seven-member team that identified and managed issues and crises for clients, including Monsanto Company [and] Bayer Corporation”? From 2001 to 2004 she assumed the position of Director, Global Public and Corporate Affairs Company for Monsanto, where Watts says she “Provided corporate communications strategy and support for Fortune 500 life sciences and agricultural company.”?
And why did she modify her LinkedIn profile?
Or are we to believe the Global Public and Corporate Affairs Director, whose media expertise would be needed to defend the company’s image, was intentionally kept in the dark by her corporate masters at the very time they needed her to flack for them?
When I asked, all it got me was this:
And before anybody gets upset with me for buying into leftist environmentalism, read the qualifiers I’ve put into my articles. I’m simply holding her to the “standards” collectivists demand from any target they think they can extort.
As I wrote here:
Note an important caveat on my part: Not having heard, the evidence, or even presuming to be able to understand the science, and being aware of how leftist environmental hysteria, media manipulation, clueless jurors and slick-talking deep-pockets lawyers can fall together to make mundane things like the truth seem secondary, I’m prepared to give credence to Bayer’s arrangement “to return the conversation about the safety and utility of glyphosate-based herbicides to the scientific and regulatory arena and to the full body of science.”
It doesn’t matter if you or I question the charges. That’s not the point.
The point is were Shannon Watts a prominent advocate for “conservative” causes, you’d best believe the media would be all over her about this, trying to ferret out what she knew and when she knew it, and filling in the gaps with innuendo and outright fabrication if that’s what it took to turn the public against her. But because she’s who she is, and because they share common goals, all you hear are crickets.
