Notes from the Resistance
The 80% Coalition is non-partisan and is comprised of advocacy, business, education, faith-based, professional and service organizations committed to pushing back against hate and urging our legislators at the state and federal levels to pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. [More]
I see a lot of “faith” organizations claiming tax-exempt status in there…

Instead of targeting guns and gun owners, Trump called for a “top to bottom security overhaul at schools across the country” in a variety of ways; single-point entries, security fences, metal detectors, a school resource officer in every school, and yes, arming teachers who volunteer, are vetted, and trained. [More]
Beautiful.
Now if he only takes those words to heart if he’s ever in power again.
Am I so wrong to doubt he will?
A man has been found guilty of fatally shooting a University of Wisconsin physician and her husband, who were the parents of his girlfriend, and leaving their bodies at the school’s arboretum. [More]
Let me guess: They didn’t “respect” Prince Charming because of their own character flaws and thus asked for it…?

Schumer vows to force vote on gun control legislation after Memorial Day recess [More]
With Graham, Collins, Toomey, and Cassidy parlaying under a white flag, I guess we’ll see how badly Republican want a “red wave.”
Also of interest, look at the amount of attention the media is devoting to what this ever-treasonous, on-his-way-out GOP loser thinks.
Hernandez, who describes himself as a “once undocumented” immigrant and has previously run for Congress, continues to argue with Cruz as security gets involved and tells him to “back up.” [More]
Askandi, who’s Mexican American, attended the protest with her son, who’s also Persian American, because she said she’s become afraid after gunmen targeted people of color in Buffalo, N.Y., less than two weeks ago and in El Paso in 2016. [More]
So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
Fabricated image falsely claims Senator Ted Cruz has shared the same message about shootings a dozen times, fact-checkers say [More]
Even if he had, so what? There’s only one truth and it’s not like the grabbers don’t exploit these things with the exact same lies each time.
Many Americans have the day off. They’re looking forward to barbecues and picnics, parades, and games. Pursuit of happiness is good, albeit the Republic’s survival would be better served were Liberty pursued as vigorously as comforts and pleasures.
One way to connect with personal purpose is to reflect on those who came before us and endured great hardships and sacrifices, to bequeath to us, their heirs, a system of principles and laws designed to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
Here is who I will be remembering today, a man I never knew because his time came and was then cut short before I was born:
My Uncle Nick did not make it back from WWII. He was so young, with a life ahead of him that he would never know, and gave “the last full measure of devotion,” sacrificing life, love, and family. Think about that.
I cannot imagine the agony my grandparents had to endure over the loss of their beloved only son. Over 50 years later, a friend visited the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery where he was laid to rest and brought back a photograph of his gravesite which I gave to my mother. She still wept at the loss of her kid brother.
I’m sure everyone here has special memories to reflect on today. Let those solemn remembrances come with introspection and a prayer: May we be worthy.
“In an industry with 500 companies all making the same products, you have to get ahead somehow,” said Ryan Busse, a former firearms executive … “This is how he has grown his business by being on the edge and wrapping this holy roller thing around it,” added Busse, who is a senior adviser for the gun violence prevention group Giffords.

Horrors! Daniel Defense offends triggered bedwetters!
We’ve run into this type before.
I guess it depends on who’s footing the bill…

Police impersonator points gun at man’s head [More]
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
As I’ve noted before, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.

‘God Bless the USA’ singer Lee Greenwood on why he pulled out of NRA convention… And obviously, that weapon killed kids. And I just couldn’t go,” he told hosts Brian Kilmeade, Pete Hegseth and Ainsley Earhardt. [More]
The weapon killed kids. Coming from a guy thankful that others “gave” him his rights.
Then there’s Larry Gatlin, “pray[ing] that the NRA will rethink some of its outdated and ill-thought-out positions regarding firearms in AMERICA.”

LULAC calls on Congress to pass legislation raising the age to 21 for persons to buy military assault high capacity weapons … The moment is now for Congress to pass the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

So much for “Never go full retard.”

Just not with anything that would work.
I hope a country that won’t let its own people defend themselves doesn’t expect anyone else to…

Around 7 a.m., at the corner of Clark and Hubbard, while our reporter was in the middle of a live report about Chicago gun violence, a man walked up and pointed what appeared to be a firearm at our crew. [More]
Could it be that what is needed is feral moron control?
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.
