Civil suit in 3…2…1…
I’m just wondering when “teen” is going to be deemed offensive and what it will be replaced by.

Gov. Newsom Signs Bill Allowing Victims of Gun Violence to Sue Gun Manufacturers [More]
Because he has usurped for himself the authority to overrule the law.
There’s talk of him running for president at a time when people are fleeing California. Where will they run to if he makes it?

They’re talking Marxism, of course, prettied up with the finest production values the globalist billionaire illusionists’ money can buy. The forced lowering of entitlement expectations will happen soon enough.
These are the evil minds behind the useful idiots demanding confiscation of your guns.

[C]onstitutional thinking has evolved since 1787. Today, most new constitutions include far more enumerated rights than ours, notes David Law. The right to education, for instance, and to privacy, food, healthcare and housing. [More]
You know, the right to enslave and force others to provide.
I just got done talking about government “giving” rights…
Funny how that keeps ending up…

Good stuff. I’m surprised this was left out:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
And yeah, I’m hip to “give.”
Student op-ed claims certain voting privileges should be revoked from ‘cis men’ [More]
So much for the people always hyperventilating over “our democracy”…
Maybe we could have a tradeoff, starting with people who don’t work having any say in the “redistribution” of money from people who do…
And then there are all those non-gun owners…

Ohio college racks up millions in interest on cash owed to bakery over false racism allegations – The school and a former dean were found guilty of libeling the bakery as racist [More]
I’ve been following this because false accusations of being haters are made all the time against cultural traditionalists and gun owners, I’ve covered Oberlin’s anti-gun shenanigans in the past, I’ve posted plenty about the town’s “progressive” nonsense over the years, I admire the bakery owners’ courage to not resort to woke cowardice in the face of ginned-up media hostility, and I used to pass through there all the time on the way to my buddy’s airfield (since relocated).

Cops responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting ran away from gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms… [More]
I guess turning your back on the armed crazy and skedaddling to save your own precious hindquarters are time-honored tactics:

On the bright side, these are the guys they’ll send to confiscate the “20 million AR-15 style rifles.”

Everybody ready to light the Reichstag? No? Gee, it’s almost like somebody is being pre-set-up.

We know criminals have no respect for the law. What happens when productive citizens lose it?

I understand the vote will be this afternoon and will update this accordingly.
UPDATE

A new state law in Arizona will soon make it illegal for people to film a police officer from 8 feet or closer without the officer’s permission … As part of the law, an officer can also stop someone from filming on private property, even if the person has the owner’s consent. [More]
See, that to me is more objectionable than the eight-foot permission rule, which I’m wondering why that wouldn’t apply to all people, not just “Only Ones.”
My rationale here is I don’t want someone I don’t know getting up into my personal space and can recall a time I stuck a stiff arm out with an extended hand signaling “Stop,” and warned a deranged-looking transient to back up. If he’d kept approaching I intended to treat that as a physical attack and respond accordingly.
On the other hand, if I’m in the driver’s seat and one of Canton PD’s attack dogs is screaming through the window like a mouth-foaming maniac at me, that phone is going to be on “Record.” I guess a lot of it depends on circumstances, which is why one-size-fits-all is not a solution.

John Adams has left the building.
That’s systemic racism right there– if like me, you consider collectivist policies resulting in generations like this to be racist.
