But Wait! There’s More!

I get loaded up with news tips and what I find myself over the weekend, so on Mondays, I have more posts than will fit on the page (and still have it load without errors and timeouts). So if you want to see what the day’s early visitors read and you may have missed, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “2” link.

None Dare Call It Fraud Upon the Court

Amici the States of Michigan California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia (“Amici States”) submit this brief in support of the State of Hawai‘i…. The Second Amendment permits the States to enact a variety of regulations to combat the misuse of firearms and enables “solutions to social problems that suit local needs and values.”[More]

See, shall not be infringed” means the ratifiers would have been cool with “firearm purchase permit and firearm registration.” Just look at the text, history, and tradi… uh, on second thought, just listen to us Democrat apparatchiks.

One Man Can Make a Difference

Ordinary Ohio citizen calls out illegal Cincinnati festival gun ban — and wins! [More]

This is advocacy activism at its finest.

Having seen the alternative, stories like this restore my faith and inspire me.

We all see ways every day where we can make a difference. Anyone who can’t think of any isn’t trying and anyone who doesn’t try isn’t helping.

Fortunate Son

Twenty-one-year-old Dalton Lee Janiczek, who has been described as the entitled son of a prominent Pennsylvania lawyer, is sitting in jail and facing a litany of serious criminal charges, including the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. He is potentially facing years in prison for an incident that started with a simple traffic stop and ended with Janiczek allegedly running over a Plymouth, P.A., police officer multiple times, and ramming another police vehicle before being arrested. [More]

Welcome to reality, Dalton!

May it be as rewarding to you as you have earned.

Off Target

Don’t ignore horrifying attacks on African Christians… Today’s Nigeria does not look like that of my youth. Climate change, capitalism, debt, corruption, the COVID-19 crisis and shifting donor trends have all caused more poverty, less hope and more conflict. [More]

He did it! He missed the barn!

This is “conservative Fox News“?

Figures he’d miss the elephant in the room enabling the genocide.

Go figure. All that death and no white supremacists…

We’re the Only Ones Bullied Enough

Report exposes culture of hazing and humiliation at Cape Cod police academy [More]

There’s truth to the observation that most bullies were bullied. So guess who they’re prepping these attack dogs for.

There’s also truth to another observation: No job is worth your dignity, and anyone who tolerates and submits to abuse will only ensure more of it.

Banking on Disarmament

Major digital currency’s terms of use: No firearm, ammunition purchases [More]

I thought crypto was meant to facilitate freedom, not become a controlling trap.

No way to ensure it’s “legal tender for all debts public and private”…?

And in a tangentially-related development, I’m trying to determine the truth and the timing of this:

Si-igned Lib-Hosting

I had the following email exchange over the weekend where I presumed to give some advice:

My wife has invited a high school friend to spend a few days beginning tomorrow, her husband too. Wife informs me she is against guns so I see a gentle challenge approaching. They are Christians but I don’t know if it’s a rebellious church or a Bible believing one yet. They’re in SAT the past couple days for a missions trip seminar.

I’ve made a few talking points in my notes but remembered you have some links to violence stats and how inner city bad boys skew the numbers and if those of color are removed, America looks more like other countries. If you are without a lot of trouble or time to provide a couple links to help me in this glorious fight, I’d be most grateful.

My response:

Probably this.

Honestly, were it me I would politely avoid such talk– you’re not going to convert them, and arguments will create discord and hard feelings. Including, potentially, with the wife.

Actually, were it me, this situation would never arise but done is done.

Not bringing it up and saying, “Why don’t we just enjoy each other’s company for what we have in common?” — and being a gracious host like this if it does — is one way to redirect, and there’s no better way to show you’re a rational, reasonable and worthy human being with thoughts worth respecting instead of just an ideologue. Plenty of other things to talk about. And it will all be over soon, whereas, unlike house guests who leave, hurt feelings will remain.

Since you asked…

David Codrea/Ann Landers 🙂

I can hear the objections now. Feel free to comment as guests in my home.

If We Can’t Believe Authorized Journalists, Who Can We Believe?

Trump administration altering program that was a lifeline for pioneering non-profits helping reduce gun violence [More]

They say that like it’s true and like this is news as opposed to propaganda. A look at the “reporter’s” beat and agenda tells us all we need to know.

But look at this: Asking for reader support from “progressives” apparently works.

Can the same be said about gun owners?

Immigrant Song

The Swedish judge who ruled that the Eritrean migrant who raped 16-y-old Meya Åberg won’t be deported after serving a 3-year sentence because ”the rape didn’t last long enough” has spoken out about the criticism & say judges can’t take into consideration people’s anger. [More]

I feel the same outrage I would had this happened in the UK.
