Out-of-Office Response

Just back after spending the entire day in ER due to a family medical emergency. Looks like we’re out of the woods– for now.

I didn’t even get to all the news tips sent over the weekend, let alone on Monday, so if you’re wondering why I didn’t get to or acknowledge yours, that’s why.

Please hold off on correspondence or understand why I’m not responding because I have no idea what tomorrow will bring and have article work I’m behind on that’s going to take whatever priority I’m able to give it.

Hoist with His Own Petard

Austin Durrer, who has worked for Crist since 2016, was arrested Tuesday in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges in a case classified as “domestic violence,” according to Dorchester County court records obtained by Fox News Digital. Durrer was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest, and the court ordered him to surrender firearms and vacate his home. [More]

Gee, I feel real bad for him losing his guns like that…

He’s Made His Bed

DeSantis creates illegal gun-free zone during Alachua fundraiser [More]

Someone should have gone armed and forced the issue, perhaps by calling the sheriff and issuing an on-the-spot complaint against private security violating Florida law.

Mark Walters and I talked about this, and we both agreed DeSantis had it in his power to make everything right. He had time to do just that and instead opted to hope nobody noticed and/or the ones that didn’t wouldn’t be showstoppers.

That he did not rectify things should be considered a huge strike against him. It’s curious that none of his starry-eyed supporters wanted to reply:

There’s a Lesson in Here Somewhere

Video: Felon’s Girlfriend Takes The Gun And Kills An Off-Duty Firefighter Who Protects A Female Cashier From Getting Attacked By The Perp – No Charges Filed [More]

If the firefighter been armed things could have turned out much differently, especially if the deterrent effect resolved things without a shot being fired.

Alternatively, if he’d emerged victorious, who thinks he’d just be allowed to walk?

Moving in for the Kill

Breaking: Sandy Hook Families Now Seeking $2.75 TRILLION in Addition to Billion from Alex Jones [More]

My natural sympathy has gone right out the window. Whether they’re launching this obscene attack on freedom out of greed or out of grief ceases to matter at this point, because this group of blinded tools is allowing itself to be used to undermine both speech and RKBA. Either way, they deserve to be repelled.

He Went to Jared

Rep. Jared Golden, a pro-gun Democrat… [More]

Right:

I am honored to receive the endorsement of Vice President, Joe Biden.

There is no such thing as a “pro-gun Democrat.”

The Party allows for regional accommodations so it can increase its power and influence and advance other agenda items. But when you get right down to it, not one of them will oppose a nominee like Biden for president or Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court, and they all support the cultural terraforming of the country in order to gain Democrat voters. And they’ll all betray constituents on guns when they think they can get away with it and it suits their purposes.

McMullin Knows a Thing or Two about Betraying Constitution

When McMullin makes accusations about betraying the Constitution, a dispassionate conclusion would be someone who knows how to do that like a pro is projecting his penchant for betrayal on others for obvious reasons. [More]

It really says something about this moron’s arguments when the best rebuttal to them comes from Pee-wee Herman

On an unrelated note:

Those of you who noticed the site was down all day, I kept getting 504 Gateway Timeout messages– I did all the things I knew how to do on my end, which isn’t much: clearing the cache, restarting, cussing loudly, but ended up calling HostGator tech support who were able to identify that the IP address for the site didn’t match and they did a fix. I don’t know how that happened. That was hours ago and the site is just getting back to where I can access it more often than it times out, so I was able to get in, approve comments and post this promo for my latest AmmoLand article.

Per normal, unless something YUGE happens, I don’t plan on doing updates over the weekend (I will be working on articles behind the scenes and spending a day on the leaves that bury the yard every year around this time). Hopefully, the situation is resolved and any news link tips received Monday won’t be a wasted effort.

Knock on wood.

The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same

Between 70-90% of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico can be traced back to the U.S. [More]

This is the same crap the grabbers were pulling before we exposed Fast and Furious gunwalking.  It says nothing about guns purposely NOT submitted for tracing.

How about government does its job and safeguards the f***ing  border instead of you letting in the cartels while demanding our disarmament?

I’m sorry for the Newtown losses, but they’re not my fault and any natural sympathy I have goes out the window when they attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones. Whether you attack me out of greed or out of grief ceases to matter at that point– either way, you deserve to be repelled.

As if by Design

Fourteen Senate Democrats on Tuesday sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) asking the agencies to strictly enforce a new law on ghost guns because companies are dodging the rule through a loophole. [More]

Reminds me of a Xeroxed cartoon that was making the rounds out of the engineering department at a place I used to work at:

Good Thing Fang Fang was on Birth Control!


Brought to you by police state monopoly of violence proponents who want their enforcers to be the “Only Ones” with guns.

In reality, when those are established, the exact opposite occurs.

Dodged that bullet!

Lies, Damn Lies…

Support for major gun laws could also be substantially increased if key concerns are addressed. [More]

…and 97percent

Note it hasn’t been established what respondents actually know about these “laws,” and especially what they’re not being told about the negative impacts on freedom of prior restraints and due process abuses, how none of this addresses the real problems behind the “crime” concerns, and how the ultimate agenda will never reach a final increment where the men behind the curtain say “No more.”
