We’re the Only Ones Command Present Enough

The officer cussing at me would come off as someone with authority (and a weapon) feeling entitled to address me however they chose. It would also be a reminder of the weapon. It would be both hostile and demeaning. The schoolyard bully should not be the model for officers’ behavior. [More]

At least you can take on a schoolyard bully, even in front of others, and gain a newfound measure of stature with your peers if you prevail. Take on a cop and you’re taking on the power of the state.

The New Intolerable Acts

Prosecutors Agree He Shot a Man in Self-Defense. They’re Still Trying To Put Him in Prison. LaShawn Craig may spend years behind bars—because the gun he used to justifiably shoot someone was unlicensed. [More]

You know who agrees with that?

Every goddam gun owner and “gun rights leader” who says “Enforce existing gun laws.”

Suffer the Children

It’s now considered racist to punish thieves in school [More]

That nonsense aside, what kind of punishment?

Because go down a few lines and this becomes a paen to paddling.

Sorry, “Liberty Unyielding.” Nobody paddled feral sons Uday and Qusay unless they could do it to me first.

Nobody could, either. I’ve told the story of my art teacher before:

I remember in High School, I was joking with another kid in Art class and the teacher walked up, backhanded him across the face and tried to do the same to me. I blocked it, looked him in the eye and told him if he wanted to hit me, he would need to call my father first and ask permission. If Dad said it was OK, I’d let him, but otherwise we were going to have a problem. We didn’t have a problem.

Christian Traitors Join Forces With Atheists To Trash Believers In ‘Christian Nationalism’ Documentary [More]

Then they’re not Christians.

Who was it who liberated the death camps again…?

Records from the Great Lakes Naval Center found that in 1944, 74.7 percent of the men in battle were Protestant, 23 percent Catholic, and 1.7 percent Jewish.

Meanwhile, “members of ‘peace churches’ objected to military service on religious grounds.”

And funny, how Meathead is awful quiet about the Jewish state…

Much Ado About What, Exactly…?

To be able to say a gun is destroyed, disposal companies crush or cut up a single piece that federal law classifies as a firearm: the receiver or frame that anchors the other components and contains the required serial number. The businesses can then sell the remaining parts as a kit: barrel, trigger, grip, slide, stock, springs — essentially the entire gun, minus the regulated piece. [More]

That’s breathless “real reporter” Mike McIntire’s big scoop?

The Newsraper of Record doesn’t trust its readers with any part of what was once a firearm and demands those be reserved for that violence monopoly they want to see imposed?

Not that I’m defending the economic fascist “public/private partnership” gun destruction companies, even if some unintentional good does come out of their little sweetheart deals…

Conduct Unbecoming

US District Court of Southern District of California finds that gun purchase restrictions on 18-20 year olds in California is constitutional under the 2nd Amendment. [More]

What kind of evil, lying traitor would you have to be to rule that way? So much for judicial conduct.

His treason will, of course, eventually be overturned, provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24…

Blast from the Past

I will believe any of our celebrity politicians when they say they sympathize and truly regret and resent this monstrous atrocity when they move to restore the observance and practice of the second amendment everywhere. Then and only then will we know they truly disapprove of Americans being murdered en masse. [More]

I was doing some research over the weekend, came across this comment on the old blog, and thought it merited renewed attention.

Pardon My Cisnormativity…

Ohio Woman Pleads Guilty… According to court documents and statements made in court, on April 15, Whitney M. Durant, aka Soren Monroe, 20, of Worthington, intentionally damaged the property of HerChoice, a pregnancy center located in Bowling Green, Ohio, by defacing the clinic’s building, spray painting the words, “LIARS,” “Fund Abortion,” “Abort God,” and “Jane’s Revenge.” [More]

Quick “woke” etiquette question: Is it an aggression in this case to say “woman“?

FAFO

Alabama Robber Shouted, ‘Happy Holidays, I Don’t Want to Hurt Y’all,’ Then Blasted Bear Spray — so Store Owner Shot Her- After being wounded in the shoulder, the robber screamed, ‘I don’t want to die. Please stop’ [More]

Funny, how it works that way…

Funny, how freedom prohibitionists want to give sadistic cowards the advantage.

None Dare Call It Treason

Republicans in Congress are threatening to cut off support for Ukraine unless they can force through their extreme partisan border policies. It’s political blackmail, pure and simple. The stakes are too high and the consequences are too significant for political brinksmanship. [More]

Speaking of “extreme partisan border policies“…

Any Democrat who does not see through this in-your-face gaslighting is either mentally incapable or willfully self-deluded. What does that say about those who do see through it and give their approval with their votes regardless?

It’s Exactly Where I Might Think, You Charlatans

Gun violence in America is really bad but not where you might think [More]

I wnet through the MSN clickbait slide show so you don’t have to. Basically, agenda “scientists” are trying to convince us that small town America is more dangerous than Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc., using rates.

Here’s the trick: Earlier this year we had a muderer in my home town of Hudson that looks like it could have been averted with some basic judgment about who you welcome into your home and why.

Hudson has a population of around 20,000, making the “gun homicide” rate for 2023 around five per 100,000.

Now look at the overall (not just gun) homicide rate for a significant chunk of Chicago:

The homicide rate for the city’s four North Side police districts (the 18th, 19th, 20th and 24th) last year was 3.2 residents per 100,000, according to analysis of data from the University of Chicago Crime Lab…

What this does is make it look like states with “lax gun laws” are more dangerous in general, to then push the rights swindle narrative that blanket citizen disarmament is needed. The DSM then dutifully regurgitates and parrots. It deliberately diverts attention from the documented reality that violence, as a whole, is predominantly concentrated in small, known, Democrat prohibitionist-controlled areas.

Illinois Shows Disinterest in Judicial Conflict Challenge as More Evidence Emerges

It’s fair to ask how, in anyone’s universe, such conduct would not be grounds for removal from the court, disbarment from the practice of law, and criminal prosecution. [More]

Do radical Democrat prohibitionists really want to tell tens of millions of gun owners that the courts are no longer available to them to seek redress against infringements of their fundamental rights?

Above the Law

So much for “the supreme Law of the Land”…
