NY Times ridiculed for using shotgun shell photo to promote article attacking AR-15s: ‘This is hysterical’ [More]
Who better to demand banning something than those who don’t know what it is they want to ban?
It would be good for ‘a massive cultural shift’ toward European gun control: New York Times columnist – David Brooks said he would be willing to give up privacy for safety. [More]
He can give up whatever he wants. But what he’s saying is the rest of us have to do it too.
Mr. Franklin warned us. (And there’s also the William Penn version.)
And as for European “gun control”…
What a contemptible idiot. What a coward.

The eleventh chapter of The Road to Serfdom is entitled “The End of Truth,” about the historical imperative in all totalitarian states throughout history to destroy freedom of speech so that the only true belief is “the social plan” imposed by the state, whatever that may be. This is achieved by relentless institutionalized lying and propaganda, coupled with harsh censorship of all contrary ideas or even questions about the propriety of forcefully imposing one single “social plan.” [More]
What kind of fascist wouldn’t want that?

Accused killer may soon be released after 4 years in jail, no trial [More]
Seeing as how the Sixth Amendment supposedly guarantees “a right to a speedy and public trial,” why aren’t the government officials responsible for this in jail?
And that said, what have we learned about taking in derelicts?

Climate-Change Lockdowns? Yup, They Are Actually Going There… [More]
No worries, Harry and Meghan will still be able to take private jets to sustainability awards. After all, they promise to have a net-zero carbon footprint, which doesn’t actually mean that they’ll use less energy, just that they’ll be able to pay credits to the high priests of global climate change, who have somehow authorized themselves to be the ones selling indulgences.
Naturally, our domestic environmentalcases won’t admit to making laws respecting the establishment of religion when they can pass it off as
“settled science.”

If there is one point on which there should be no political parsing, no legal jockeying, and no disagreement, it is this: for anyone to advocate terminating or suspending the Constitution is tantamount to a declaration of war against the founding principles of our representative government and the rule of law. [More]
Sounds like the Democrat playbook…
Well, this is certainly embarrassing…

What is it they say about payback?
Let’s hope this further discourages alumni from donating.

233 firearms collected in Summit County gun buyback event [More]
So if “233 firearms were collected at the event and $34,325 in gift cards were given out,” even given the maximum payout of $100 per working gun (which assumes no non-working guns paid out at $25 each were collected), that opens the question of whose pockets the other (at least) $11,025 in gift cards ended up in…
The “authorized journalist” who wrote this up probably didn’t want to press the issue because math is racist.

Tangentially-related UPDATE
I wanted to check out the Summit County Sheriff’s social media to see if they were bragging about this so I could ask them about their addition, and the cover of their magazine was the top post:

Every supermarket I go to around here warns against putting children in the car basket, and indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns in an alert:
Every year, thousands of children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for falls from shopping carts. Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children and most often occur when children stand up in the child seat or the cart basket.
So it figures the same “Only Ones” encouraging people who may not know the first thing about guns (or how to clear them) to handle and transport them are happily displaying how oblivious they are to basic child safety in general on the cover of their quarterly bulletin.
Then again, consider where the buck stops and the party that she represents.
An employee at a restaurant in Georgia shot and killed an armed intruder in self-defense after being pistol-whipped during the attempted robbery. [More]
So would it be wrong to assume the photo here was from an earlier mug shot?

And more from our friends on the Anticommunism Action Team…
Border Patrol Union President Pushes Amnesty for Millions – Brandon Judd styles himself as an immigration hawk. But he has a history of selling out on the issue. [More]
It figures The Weasel Whisperer backs it. As does the “ex-Democrat” so many “conservatives” seems to be getting excited about.

Nevada woman shot and killed suspected carjacker with his own gun – Victim grabbed suspect’s gun when he set it down to try to figure out how to start her push-to-start car [More]
If you think about it, it would have worked to Shannon and the Hogglet’s advantage if the feral moron had killed her.

‘There is nothing wrong or ungrateful about requesting … the safe spaces necessary to make it through the antiBlack white capitalist institution, Pomona College’ [More]
Right, the problem is capitalism, that is, freedom of association and economic choices.
At $84K per year, I can barely grasp the trouble they’ve seen.
Privileged me was working in factories and warehouses as I lorded it over those with less power.
