I Can’t Hear You. I Have a Banana in My Ear.

$6.2 Million Paid for a Banana Duct-Taped to a Wall [More]

I was thinking of using this in my Elizabeth Warren piece as another example of how the left wants to see some of the One Percent murdered but either stays silent or embraces the “woke,” but couldn’t really find a place for it without wandering too far afield.

Still, the day may come when covetous and angry eyes turn on those with millions to profligately burn while government policies continue to destroy wealth and relegate more to the hateful desperation that Democrats encourage for political gains.

Send in the Clowns

Accordingly, “Miller stood for the proposition ‘that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as 3 short-barreled shotguns’ [More]

That’s not what Miller said at all.

He’s not through with the clown act:

While a silencer may be a firearm accessory, it is not a “bearable arm” that is capable of casting a bullet.

Neither was my “machinegun,” or “high capacity” magazines, or braces, or 80% receivers, or…

And again, “common use” is proving to be a trap.

It’s way past time to pasture this senile old “Reagan Republican.

Ghosts of Michigan

Legislation approved in the Michigan Senate would ban the manufacturing, assembling, selling, purchasing, importing and possessing of firearms or firearm parts that don’t have a valid serial number. [More]

So you not only can’t make them, you can’t keep what you already have.

That goes for you, too, illegals

Maybe this’ll get Detroit’s number up to “2”

Reminding the servants of their place would be so much more satisfying if we could order them to clear out.

‘Commonsense Gun Safety’: Mobile, Armed, and Illegal

A package of bills that would permit people who are in the United States illegally to obtain state driver’s licenses in Michigan would also allow them to get concealed pistol licenses, critics said, if they lied about their immigration status during the application process. [More]

But you can’t have a colored gun. Funny, how Michigan Democrats are simultaneously passing citizen disarmament edicts.

It’ll be interesting to see all the gungrab groups say nothing with this going on.

And, of course, it’s still a red herring.

In the Kapu Tradition

The AG report lists now medical cannabis patients under the category of “mental incompetence /impairment.” And unlike others in this subcategory, medical cannabis patients remain automatically ineligible for a long time since they cannot reapply until their medical cannabis (a.k.a. “329”) cards have been expired for a year or longer. [More]

Talk about projection by the constitutionally incompetent and impaired…

We’re the Only Ones Threatened Enough

Our city has faced several very difficult weeks since the fatal shooting on November 28. Since that time, I have been made aware of threats against specific officers and the entire police department. This is unacceptable behavior. No one deserves to have threats made against them. [More]

Maybe if they cleared this up I’d agree:

Akron Mayor Shammas Malik released a statement saying he was “left with many serious questions” after watching the bodycam video, including why the officer did not “activate their body cameras upon exiting their vehicle” and why the officers “used rifles instead of handguns.”

Still, 15-year-old out at at 11 pm with a gun… is it unfair to wonder about the family?

Gun Prohibitionist Warren Shows Creepy Hypocrisy by Minimizing CEO’s Assassination

The unfortunate CEO is a bellwether of what’s coming if Marxist citizen disarmers have their way. Elizabeth Warren and fellow gun prohibitionists are clearing that way. [More]

What’s the difference between mainstream Massachussetts Democrats and in-your-face Marxists?

Things to Come

While it is always a risky business to make predictions in this tumultuous political environment, you don’t have to be Nostradamus to see that 2025 is going to be a very bad year for gun owners (and gun dealers) in Oregon. [More]

If we had a DOJ that protected citizens from state infringements, it would be a very bad year for rights deniers.

We’re the Only Ones Off Target Enough

But one of the most disturbing details from the report is certainly that the agent who discovered Routh fired six rounds from a distance of five feet and failed to hit the target even once. How is that even possible? I’m not a trained agent, and I’m sure I could have hit that target at least once with that many shots at such close range. This is a whole new level of incompetence that simply cannot be comprehended. [More]

Every person I’ve taken shooting for the first time has done better than that.

How did he pass requisite pistol training standards, and for that matter, what are they? Somebody ought to be pulling his records and — not to kneejerk cast unfounded aspersions — also asking if he had reasons not to hit the target.

Race for the Cure

A St. Louis man serving 40 years in federal prison for two carjackings, one of which was fatal, has been charged for a separate fatal carjacking 17 hours earlier. [More]

But since we’re told addiction is a disease, it’s not his fault.

No, don’t ask what the hell he was doing out. In addition to being hooked on guns, he’s overrepresented in the justice system.

None Dare Call It Treason

The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s effort to secure the border, The Daily Wire has learned. [More]

The same people who want our guns want more illegal aliens. Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Let’s hope “The Scouring of the Shire” really happens.

The Pursuit of Excellence

Mike Waidelich’s Legacy in Combat Shooting [More]

I generally don’t feature guns or training here because I focus on rights and leave hardware and use aspects of 2A advocacy to those competent to present it.

In this case I’ll make an exception. Author Bob Jewell, who I corresponded with and met over a decade ago, contacted me and let me know about his piece in USCCA’s Concealed Carry, and I think enough readers here will both learn from it and appreciate it as a tribute to the memory of a man and his achievements.

This is Your Brain on Guns

San Quentin program targeting root causes of gun addiction celebrates first graduation[More]

They’re not against the Second Amendment but guns are an addiction.

Good grief.

I suspect Lt. Guim’Mara Berry has drunk the Kool-Aid, but do you think the warden actually swallows the coil extruding from his mouth or does he just say it because it’s a paycheck and his masters have team player expectations?

Which of the 12 steps is blaming the inanimate and absolving yourself of personal choices?

Get back to me on this after the “graduates” have hit the streets. I wonder what would happen if one of them paid gushing Damon Connolly a visit.

Don’t Sweat the Details

“I really want y’all to remember D’Angelo for who he was and not what happened… [More]

But what happened is exactly what the prohibitionists will use to force lock-up-your-safety edicts on the rest of us.

And what does it mean, “Police don’t know where the child found the unsecured gun”? Did they ask the person urging everyone to forget about “what happened”?

If these people did journalism, we’d have the backstory.

Fighting Fire with Slide Fire

Today, Gun Owners of America announced its support for a lawsuit brought forth by Slide Fire Solutions against the U.S. government, which challenges the 2018 ban and unconstitutional confiscation of bump stocks under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. [More]

If any others want to come forward and file complaints, I’ll attest to this, with signatures to prove who I met with:

I asked if anyone else had come to reclaim their property and was told I was the only one, that others had forfeited theirs, and that one business that had made stocks wrote the loss off on taxes.

The Wrong Question

By persuading the public that non-citizens, particularly illegal immigrants, do not enjoy the same inalienable rights as law-abiding citizens (a fact refuted by the Constitution and every credible legal scholar in the country), the Deep State is leading us down a road in which all rights are transitory. [More]

True, but by getting us to chase a red herring they don’t have to worry about the answer.
