David Codrea is a long-time gun owner rights advocate who defiantly challenges the folly of citizen disarmament.

All the Right Words

Instead of targeting guns and gun owners, Trump called for a “top to bottom security overhaul at schools across the country” in a variety of ways; single-point entries, security fences, metal detectors, a school resource officer in every school, and yes, arming teachers who volunteer, are vetted, and trained. [More]

Beautiful.

Now if he only takes those words to heart if he’s ever in power again.

Am I so wrong to doubt he will?

Daddy’s Little Princess is All Grown Up

A man has been found guilty of fatally shooting a University of Wisconsin physician and her husband, who were the parents of his girlfriend, and leaving their bodies at the school’s arboretum. [More]

Let me guess: They didn’t “respect” Prince Charming because of their own character flaws and thus asked for it…?

Ask What Our Country Can Do for You

Askandi, who’s Mexican American, attended the protest with her son, who’s also Persian American, because she said she’s become afraid after gunmen targeted people of color in Buffalo, N.Y., less than two weeks ago and in El Paso in 2016. [More]

So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

In Memoriam

Many Americans have the day off. They’re looking forward to barbecues and picnics, parades, and games. Pursuit of happiness is good, albeit the Republic’s survival would be better served were Liberty pursued as vigorously as comforts and pleasures.

One way to connect with personal purpose is to reflect on those who came before us and endured great hardships and sacrifices, to bequeath to us, their heirs, a system of principles and laws designed to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

Here is who I will be remembering today, a man I never knew because his time came and was then cut short before I was born:

My Uncle Nick did not make it back from WWII. He was so young, with a life ahead of him that he would never know, and gave “the last full measure of devotion,” sacrificing life, love, and family. Think about that.

I cannot imagine the agony my grandparents had to endure over the loss of their beloved only son. Over 50 years later, a friend visited the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery where he was laid to rest and brought back a photograph of his gravesite which I gave to my mother. She still wept at the loss of her kid brother.

I’m sure everyone here has special memories to reflect on today. Let those solemn remembrances come with introspection and a prayer: May we be worthy.

Judas Bob 2.0

“In an industry with 500 companies all making the same products, you have to get ahead somehow,” said Ryan Busse, a former firearms executive … “This is how he has grown his business by being on the edge and wrapping this holy roller thing around it,” added Busse, who is a senior adviser for the gun violence prevention group Giffords.

Horrors! Daniel Defense offends triggered bedwetters!

We’ve run into this type before.

I guess it depends on who’s footing the bill…

We’re the Fauxnly Ones All in Your Head Enough

Police impersonator points gun at man’s head [More]

Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.

As I’ve noted before, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.

Rank Amateurs

The FBI announced Monday that citizens stopped six active shooters in 2021, according to a report on active shooting incidents. [More]

Not enough professional training to know you’re supposed to take cover and strategize about waiting for backup, I suppose…

And I’m Proud to be UnAmerican

“The unfortunate shooting in Texas took place at a very bad time. And for me to go and play at the NRA just days after the shooting would be an endorsement. And people would then deem that as, I like this weapon. And obviously, that weapon killed kids. And I just couldn’t go,” he told hosts Brian Kilmeade, Pete Hegseth and Ainsley Earhardt. [More]

The weapon killed kids. Coming from a guy thankful that others “gave” him his rights.

Then there’s Larry Gatlin, “pray[ing] that the NRA will rethink some of its outdated and ill-thought-out positions regarding firearms in AMERICA.”

At least they didn’t invite Toby Keith this time.

Houston, We Have a Problem

Despite accusing Democrats of constantly trying to manipulate mass shootings for political gain, several senior GOP figures — including ex-President Donald Trump — are expected to give speeches at the National Rifle Association-Institute for Legislative Action’s annual leadership forum on Friday. [More]

According to “real reporter” Stephen Collinson, CNN’s resident White House propagandist, defending yourself against political attacks is “politicizing” an issue, and thus “hypocrisy.”

It’s the same lying “rationale” that says defending yourself against physical attack is “vigilantism.”

Push back against bullies and they call you a bully. When they’re not calling you a Nazi…

The media is reveling in the “outrage” they’re helping to inflame. You can bet there are plenty hoping things get out of hand and plenty who will consider it humorous “karma” if NRA members are hurt or worse.

UPDATE: Speaking of politicizing…

‘Doing Something’ in Wake of Uvalde Looks Like GOP ‘Moderates’ Caving on Red Flags

Democrats, we don’t need to concern ourselves with, at least for now—assume they’re all for whatever disarmament edicts they can get whenever they can get them. It’s the Republicans gun owners need to focus on, and there are few surprises here… [More]

Betraying gun owners and drowning the fire in their bellies will break up the anticipated wave before it hits the shore.

Don’t Let Dettelbach Slip in Under the Radar

[T]he Senate Judiciary Committee considered the nomination of Steve Dettelbach to run the ATF during a hearing on Wednesday. [More]

With everything going on, this one isn’t getting the scrutiny it needs, meaning Republicans aren’t getting the scrutiny they need.

It’s not surprising that he can’t define “assault weapon,” but let’s not forget all the other questions.

We’re the Only Ones Mulling It Over Enough

‘Let’s rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything’: Parents frustrated with ‘unprepared’ police outside Texas massacre school debated storming the building THEMSELVES while gunman was holed up inside for 90 minutes [More]

So when seconds count, police are 90 minutes away from actually doing anything?

In a secure society, engagement would be effectively immediate by on-scene personnel.

UPDATE: Cops rescued their own kids?

Yes:

Makin’ Whoopi

Whoopi called on American citizens to call the cops on their own neighbors and friends if their arsenal is “too big.” “Does your neighbor have too big an arsenal? Call the cops!” Whoopi shouted as she falsely claimed the 2nd Amendment doesn’t cover AR-15s. [More]

Punch Republicans and SWAT gun owners? I guess when you’ve given yourself so many abortions you need to wear undergaskets, blaming and hating others is the only way to keep from looking inward.

Blast from the Past?

Two teens arrested in ‘mass casualty’ plot targeting a Uvalde middle school – One of the students had numerous writings and drawings which depicted weapons capable of causing mass destruction. He wrote about being “God-like” and killing police and other persons. [More]

That’s from 2018.  I never have understood keeping extreme public danger reptiles like this anonymous due to age.

Anybody know what ultimately happened to them and where they are now?

UPDATE:

Then there’s this:

Uvalde CISD issued a statement on Thursday: Our school district is committed to the safety and education of all our students and we want to clearly communicate about safety issues when they arise. One of our Morales Junior High students was experiencing a crisis. Upon rendering aid and support, the student revealed a future plan to conduct a school shooting in the year of 2022…

I got that link from Google. I don’t see it on the Intenet Archive for 2018— rather, it shows as recent.  My guess would be some sick **** is playing us. Change my mind.
