DOD Suicide Report Long on ‘Gun Control’ But Short on Who’s at Risk and Why

How lumping the good in with the bad and the healthy in with the troubled, ignoring politically inconvenient realities, and mandating increased restrictions on the fundamental rights of all demonstrates excellence, dignity, and respect is not explained. Such “equity” seems a curious way of saying “Thank you for your service.” [More]

Is a politically self-serving report that ignores the basics and tells servicemembers they’re not trusted really the best way to help those in serious pain and immediate need?

We’ll Always Find Reasons Not To

…if you cancel a card, your credit score takes a hit. So….don’t like the card’s policies? Don’t use that card, just retire it to the back of your wallet, or even shred it, but don’t cancel it. [More]

For what it’s worth, I had a card I never used and after a few years the credit card company canceled it.

The thought strikes that if this concern is enough to not even take a small action, what chance is there for larger actions when there’s a larger price to pay?

Merchant Codes Show for Gun Owners It Doesn’t Pay to Discover

But if the merchant codes don’t go to the SKU (stock keeping unit) level and identify specific items purchased, some may question what the big deal is. For that, look to the proponents of the codes and how they have announced they intend to use them. [More]

The rope-selling “capitalists” don’t seem to realize what historically happens when their usefulness is up.

‘Bipartisan’ Gun Controller Fitzpatrick Shows Why Being “Republican’ is Not Enough

And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]

With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?

Attempts to Exploit MSU Shootings Run into Inconvenient Truths

Besides, a “gunman” (note the implied pejorative – “Scumbag Murderer” is much more apt) intent on slaughtering human beings is not likely to be deterred by “gun laws,” and this one was no exception. [More]

The killer may not help advance their narrative as much as the gun-grabbers were hoping for.

NC Shooting Highlight Dangers of Swatting & ‘Red Flag’ Responses

What these actions don’t mitigate or excuse is the police opening fire on him immediately after he emerged unarmed from his trailer with his hands raised and his wife directly behind him. [More]

So will the State Bureau of Investigation and the DA aggressively pursue this, and if not, why not?

‘Expert’ Explanation for Why California Still Has ‘Gun Violence’ Misses the Obvious

To paraphrase Democrat strategist James Carville’s slogan about the economy, it’s the criminals, stupid. [More]

They’re going after the wrong thing. Not that the useful idiots will notice.

Slow Going Ahead

I’ll be out all of tomorrow and have much to do behind the scenes today.

I’ll try to get to some of the email tips sent since yesterday later this afternoon, but no guarantees. My priority will be on publicizing articles I expect to be published on AmmoLand and Firearms News, and on working on a couple of new ones I’ve started drafting.

Please hold off on further correspondence until Thursday, because chances are I won’t be able to do anything with it. Also, don’t be surprised if comment moderation is delayed more than usual.

Demand for ‘Commonsense Gun Laws’ is the Road to Citizen Disarmament

We’ve seen the same list before and we know that citizen disarmament has always been and remains the goal. [More]

Right out of the “progressive” totalitarian apologist playbook: Dust off the same old sh!+ and present it as new–all the while masking what you really want and counting on a critical mass of useful idiots to believe it’s for their own good.

NYT ‘Sugarcoats’ on Hunter Biden as New Secret Service Gun FOIA Comes Up Empty

In one fell swoop, The Times has reversed its position not just on “background checks,” but if you think about it, on “red flag laws,” too. It’s evidently OK, if you’re the Democrat president’s son, to commit a felony and lie on the federal form because most of the time nobody gets prosecuted for it. And when you’re distraught to the point that those closest to you feel compelled to throw your gun away because you might kill yourself, nothing says “therapy” like buying a gun and going to the range! [More]

And if the Secret Service truly wasn’t involved, don’t you think voices a lot bigger than mine ought to be asking “Who were those guys?”

Virginia VCheck Outage Points to Unacceptable Vulnerability for Gun Purchases

“All gun sales, even private ones, were stopped dead in their tracks until that system came back up. If it took a month, then gun sales would have been stopped for a month.” [More]

But don’t worry– rights weren’t “denied.” You just couldn’t exercise them.

Anti-Gunners Should be Careful What They Wish For

Ah! The understanding at the time was that parents would have a say in what their dependent children could or could not do! So, according to this, there were no Founding-era laws saying a boy or girl couldn’t have a gun if the adults raising them wanted them to. [More]

Remove predators from society and leave our guns and our children alone? The parasites, control freaks, and groomers aren’t gonna like that one bit…

In Denial

Reagan was well into Alzheimers when he supposedly made the AK-47 statement. I’ve always had a gut feeling that statement was made under instructions from Nancy after his brain was pretty well fogged.

(Comment under my recent article)

First of all, I addressed his Alzheimer’s in my poll results link. I’ve been hearing that desperate excuse-making for damn near 20 years now.

There’s no “supposedly” about it. Reagan made the statement in Feb. 1989 at the University of Southern California in a 78th-birthday event widely covered by the media (go to 43 minutes in). You tell me if he sounds senile. His official letter announcing he had “recently been told” he was afflicted with Alzheimer’s was written in Nov. 1994.

There’s Nothing New about California Republicans ‘Snubbing’ Gun Owners

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]

What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
