‘Investing’ in Astroturf

The Giffords PAC is using Congress’ bipartisan gun deal to fuel ads supporting Democrats and attacking Republicans who voted against it. [More]

They’ll pick races where they think it will be close, so gun owners who live in those states and districts are responsible for knowing what the score is with their reps and making sure good deeds don’t get punished.

Hey, I see they’re backing the guy who shot [pulled a gun on] an unarmed black jogger and the guy who obstructed a police investigation into child abuse! Nice to know the quality of the company they keep remains consistent.

They feel they are safe

but the evil among us

will always find ways.

And did you know that when it comes to suicides, per World Health Organization Statistics, “gun-free” Japan comes in at #17, and the “easy access to guns” United States comes in at #50?

Looking the Bruen Gift Horse in the Mouth

What’s not to celebrate? By all means, let’s do. Realistically. Let’s just not forget we’ve got a long way to go to “shall not be infringed” and it’s important to understand that some of the opinions from the majority will be more helpful toward getting there than others. [More]

Along with the admitted good come some exploitable (and unnecessary) concessions that Democrat states are already taking full advantage of, and that will take years to wrangle through.

We’re the Only Ones Shaking a Leg Enough

Knox County deputy accidentally shoots partner during dog attack [More]

So would it be wrong to assume that by missing the dog and having it later taken away by animal control that maybe it wasn’t all that serious about attacking? I guess I’m wondering if there are any bite marks in addition to the gunshot wound…

You are Cordially Invited to an Old-Fashioned Struggle Session to Confess Your Crimes

The chair of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Thursday said she has requested that CEOs of three gun manufacturing companies appear before Congress to testify at a hearing later this month on gun violence. [More]

Carolyn Maloney is the head inquisitor?

“Requested” not “summoned”? I’d tell her I’ll show up right after the Republicans get another crack at Eric Holder.

Actually, I’d probably just send her a goatse link (and if you don’t know what that is, do yourself a favor and don’t look it up, or if you have to, add the word “Wiki” to your search).

Welcome All Destroyers!

We talked about this yesterday.

More information has (unsurprisingly) come to light:

Potential Virginia Mass Shooters Were In US Illegally, One Deported Multiple Times, Police Say

Rigorous!

Just don’t call ’em “invaders,” OK? That really triggers the domestic enemies for some reason.

UPDATES

PICTURED: Huge arsenal including two rifles, a handgun and 232 rounds of ammunition – seized from non-US man who plotted July 4 shooting in Virginia [More]

HUGE!!!

The trainee is learning what it takes to get ahead in the business, isn’t she?

And this just in:

Richmond Police Say They Stopped a July 4th Shooting Planned by Two Guatemalan Illegal Immigrants

Still Crazy After All These Years

Unfortunately for them, there’s nothing in the Constitution about a right to dance naked in strip clubs, contraception, marriage or sticking a fork in a baby’s head. [More]

Except for that last bit which introduces a whole ‘nother set of issues, it seems like she still hasn’t learned that it’s not the function of the Constitution to define all rights.

What’s in a Word?

Received via email and posted to my placeholder site:

LULAC Calls for the Word “Invasion” to be Taken Out of Texas Immigration-Speak [More]

Can’t let citizens know the truth about foreign nationals illegally crossing our borders and welcoming themselves to residence, services, and benefits here, can we?

And states that defend themselves against it are “vigilantes” to be taken out by the feds?

I guess that means we also can’t use the word “traitor” to describe the domestic enemies who enable this?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

The War on Drugs and Guns Crossover

Collateral Damage: Arizona drug dealers becoming arms dealers online [Watch]

Anybody know what the legal and jurisdictional provisions with ATF are for the cop to retain possession of an illegally modified gun to fire and hand off to the reporter?

The other thought that strikes: You could give such a gun to me and anyone in my circle of friends and relatives and there would be zero chance of us doing anything predatory with it.

The final thought that strikes: I’d like to see somebody try that mod with a .45 🙂

Mike DeWine on ‘School Safety’

Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to each school. [More]

So why couldn’t you say the same about cities, and do away with preemption?

Besides, this is misdirection: The true issue is that of a free citizen’s unalienable right to arm himself. Since when are local bureaucrats legitimately qualified and authorized to dictate that?

And why did this come in via email, necessitating posting on my placeholder site, instead of being published in “News Releases“?
