Laying the Foundation

Why Former Slave States Became the Foundation of American Gun Culture [More]

Because white people are racist, of course!

Who couldn’t see that coming?

And did you know that “It’s only relatively recently that Americans have come to believe that guns keep a person safe and secure”? (Forget “security of a free State”– the old slave owners were obviously talking about a collective right!)

Pencil-necked academic and critic of “meritocracy [and] the Protestant Work Ethic” Nick Buttrick said it, I believe it, and that settles it!

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

It can happen here — It is happening here [More]

Unless we elect unabashed globalist socialists intent on confiscating guns and canceling all opposing thoughts, “fascists” who believe in limited and Constitutional government and a Bill of Rights culture, and “alter[ing] or [abolishing]” “any Form of Government … destructive of these ends” are going to mess up everything we’ve worked so hard to tear down!

It’s almost like they’re laying the foundation for insurrection if things don’t go their way tomorrow…

Who Couldn’t See THAT Coming?

Gov. Ned Lamont said this week that he wants to go after thousands of firearms legally kept in Connecticut under several “grandfather” provisions in the state’s decades-old assault weapons ban… [More]

What, the ones Connecticut gun owners naively registered?

What Kind of Question is THAT?

Was the defendant entitled to a jury charge on self-defense based on his own testimony that he believed his use of force was necessary to protect himself? [More]

Only if courts are meant to determine the truth of guilt or innocence.

That the State argued “No” hardly seems a Blessings of Liberty” move…

Speaking of Victors and Spoils…

Soon it will be our task to fight against the Republican insiders who are licking their chops at the feast they see set before them. Many of them are mirror images of the Democrat consulting class, indifferent to outcomes as long as the gravy train continues. [More]

That’s what happens when you reward people without commitment or results.

It’s also assuming all the “red wave” hoop-dee-doo isn’t a gaslighting setup designed to provoke a spark.

11th Hour Smear

One longtime former co-worker in the television news business recalled that Kari Lake detested guns and practiced Buddhism. Another former local news anchor, Stephanie Angelo, who did not work with Ms. Lake but later became close friends with her, described Ms. Lake back then as “a free spirit” and “liberal to the core.” [More]

Figures, progs never heard of the Road to Damascus.

There was a time decades ago — before I knew what the hell I was talking about — that I “thought” gun licensing and registration would be useful.

They would be, but not for the reasons I foolishly believed.

Hell, Mike Vanderboegh was an out-and-out communist.

Guess what: People grow. At least some of us do.

And guess who every single one of the “authorized journalists” coming out with this “revelation” now wants to win?

Requiescat in Pace, Agustin Blasquez

It is with great sadness we report that Agustin Blazquez passed away October 27th, 2022 in Bethesda, Maryland at age 78, from a stroke. Agustin was my dear friend of thirty years, and also my artistic collaborator as producer-director of The Trump Effect: Deprogramming the American Mind (2017). [More]

Laurence Jarvik gives a comprehensive and fitting tribute to a man whose loss everyone who values freedom should mourn.

From our friends at Spider & the Fly:

Agustin Blazquez, Founding Member of ACAT’s Speakers Bureau – R.I.P.

Agustin fled Cuban communism and eventually settled in the United States.  His tenacity and insight into the communist mind are sorely missed.
Agustin produced numerous films underlining the deficiencies of communism in theory and practice.  Don’t miss ‘Che Guevara: Castro’s Executioner’ above (tens of thousands of views!), and ‘Promises, Promises – How the Communists Betrayed the Cuban People’ on ACAT’s Videos page.

On this site:

The story of Agustin’s exodus from Cuba: I was leaving all the past, both my family which I loved and suffering and fear of persecution.

Love letter to America:  I love and I’m proud of America because it’s a country that opens its doors and gives you a second chance to begin a new life with freedom of choice.

Notes on the harassment of the political Right in America today which is straight out of the communist playbook – ‘Acts of Repudiation’

He was also a valued WarOnGuns Correspondent, first on the original blog and then here.

I was struck by a recent article in the “popular press” on “beloved influential icons we’ve lost in 2022” and noted the lead-off was a rapper shot to death by cronies during a bowling alley craps game. I could only shake my head at the pH factor absurdity of how “our” manipulating cultural narrative drivers direct public attention.

That, of course, is part of a plan.

When the self-important “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences” goes through its “complete” list of departed luminaries at its next awards ceremony, you can bet the documentary filmmaker who deserved recognition and honor throughout his career — and a posthumous lifetime achievement award now — will remain unmentioned as the glitterati goes about its task of furthering cultural degeneracy while lauding fellow perverts and subversives.

It’s up to us to honor and remember the man. You can start by setting aside some time to learn about his work, and then by sharing it.

Brazil’s Leftists Set Sights on Renewed Citizen Disarmament

And Lula, of course, being an old socialist, is against guns, but Congress may stand in his way. No problem though, because we’re told he can put in place by decree “what Brazil had before.”

By diktat. Who does that? [More]

Prepare to repeat the past.

Voting Victimhood

Iowa City is taking a stance against a proposed gun rights amendment to the Iowa Constitution that is up for a vote in next week’s midterms. City Council members passed a resolution opposing Public Measure Number One earlier this week. [More]

Proudly self-billed as “A UNESCO city…”

Not to mention a Bloomberg one

I wonder if that’s why 76% of the cities in the U.S. are safer…?

Master Will be Pleased!

‘Anti-racist’ professor calls Herschel Walker ‘subliterate,’ uses racial slur [More]

And if you didn’t vote for Joe Biden, you ain’t black!

I don’t suppose it occurs to “Professor” Sundiata Cha-Jua that he is essentially fulfilling the same role as “the man in the middle“…?

Speaking of Shoddy Conclusions…

The Shoddy Conclusions of the Man Shaping the Gun-Rights Debate – John Lott is the most influential pro-gun researcher in the country. But his methods and findings have been repeatedly debunked. [More]

I see a lot of smears, a lot of ad hominem, and a lot of denials by those with vested monetary grant interests, but what I’m not seeing is actual data to refute him. Forgive me if I suspect a partnership with the Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace might play a factor in this obvious hit piece.

Incidentally, I had to open this in an “incognito” window because I’ve used up my “free” reads. Forgive me again if I don’t see anything offered by these smug effete elites worth paying for.

Plenty of truth to this cover, wouldn’t you say?
