59 Cops Arrested in Southern Mexico for Working with Cartels [More]
Hey, they’re just following the example set by their leadership…
Besides, we all know Mexican “gun violence” is U.S. gun companies’ fault.
Hey, we got us a category.

“A parent and several students reported that the same student had brought a firearm to school on Thursday and threatened to use it to shoot the toilet,” Watson said. “School police immediately investigated and confirmed the student had taken a gun from home, brought it to school, and discharged it in a toilet before classes began.” [More]
And, of course, parents can’t learn the tender young darling’s name, or age, or signs of trouble that made their way into the system before this.
I wonder how much time elapsed between the warning and the action.
And who’d he get the gun from?

Shall we test their contention?

I guess if you’re dumb enough to vote for these con men you’re dumb enough to believe whatever self-serving crap they spew.

Anti-Gunners Include Suicides in Their ‘Gun Deaths’ Stats to Boost Bogus ‘Gun Violence’ Talking Points [More]
Funny, because if it’s suicide without a gun, they’re all for it.
Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp has said the primary risk the UK faces is from an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” and that he fears civil war because politicians are too myopic to take action. [More]
So… have they arrested him yet?
And more to the point, what makes us feel so superior?

“Here’s my thing: Recidivism is not up.” [More]
Except it is. By a lot. And that’s just the ones arrested.
I wonder how many belong to the Greatest Threat…
And I don’t suppose anyone is interested in finding out what percentage of/how many engaging in “prison sexual abuse” come from Republican families…
I can’t help but notice Juanita’s wearing as many stars as Patton did during the Battle of the Bulge…
My objective is to remind the UK that the Battle of Yorktown had political consequences, as they seem to have forgotten. [More]
The Office of Communication has threatened to fine 4chan, a U.S. company, for tyrannical censorship laws violations.
Sounds like a Streisand effect opportunity to me…

Shall we keep drilling down?
Yet to hear lying Democrats tell it, it’s because Republicans are sellouts to the “gun lobby.”

I’m sure there will be no shortage of indignant useful idiots who scream for reparations, subsidized housing, and the white privileged “paying their fair share,” and don’t think this moron is rich enough.
Marxist gaslighting knows no bounds.

That’s what happens when you disrespect someone entitled to your fear.

This week in Washington, D.C., a federal judge made a ruling so shocking, so unprecedented, that it flips the First Amendment on its head. Judge Trevor N. McFadden declared that the Israeli flag — with the Star of David at its center — is not a political symbol at all, but a racial one. [More]
But have at Old Glory…
And what happened to “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion…”?

I like how that last link contained the words “racism” and fascism,” words appearing nowhere in the text of the “report,” showing us exactly what “real reporter” Vasili Varlamos and KATU 2 ABC are all about.
What, the willfully obtuse may ask, does any of this have to do with that “single issue”?

Should I accept or decline her offer? [More]
Well, since you asked, yes, but with caveats.
I wouldn’t go in with attitude if I wanted to get something done or maintain contact. I also wouldn’t go with a list of all grievances. If you can get one or two resolved, that would be “a good first step” and open a door for further interaction. I’d also let her know of my intent to share the basics of our conversation with other RKBA advocates.
I’d pick something where an unequivocal resolution is doable, and have a printed handout of my question/concern, with my contact information, to give her to back up our conversation, for instance:
As an activist member, I’m concerned with how hard it is to reach individual directors. Why can’t NRA post a form on its website allowing us to contact and communicate with one, more, or all of the directors? For that matter, why not make inclusion in an @NRA.org email address directory a requirement for all officers directors?
Or…
I keep seeing the Executive Vice President also referred to as CEO in official Association statements and documents, yet the Bylaws establish all authorized titles and specifically declares, ““The Board may not abolish said offices nor create any other offices.” What is the authority to not comply with that restriction?
Or just hand her this article and tell her you would like a formal written answer to the questions raised, and ask what she thinks a reasonable response time would be.
I’d then thank her for taking the time to meet with me and hear me out, shake hands, document and share the experience, and give an after action report to readers, following up as responses were given or commitments missed, sending her a link to all mentions and inviting her to respond to those.
