Ask Mr. Know-It-All

Most Americans Can’t Answer These Simple Gun Law Questions [More]

Including, evidently, the author:

12. Question: Bump stocks are frequently in the news. Are they legal? Answer: No. While bump stocks are still found in the wild, they have been federally banned since 2018. The popularity of this weapon enhancement enables a semiautomatic rifle to fire rapidly, and its use has been under a microscope after being used in several mass shootings in recent years.

Yeah, what’s this?

And “several”? Source? Y0u’re sure?

I typically don’t link to these MSN slide shows because they’re basically bait to get you to click on a dozen pages when all the content really calls for is one. That, and I found other “answers” less than correct and complete.

News You Can Wipe With

The Justice Department is releasing plans to create a process for those with criminal convictions to restore their gun this decision sparking alarm that it will return firearms of those of convicted violent crimes… [Watch]

Make sure you take a look at the comments under the Queen City “News” video.

Sir Wilfrid has a question:

And Now for a Bit of Happy Talk

NRA legislative expert says gun rights could see ‘most monumental’ win in Congress since 2005 [More]

Anybody tell this guy about Vanderstok?

Or the 5% prognosis on “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity”?

How about 1% for NICS screw-ups…?

But what do I know? I neither present myself as an “expert” nor an Authorized Journalist.

Pow! Right in the Kisser!

Journo Bumps Trump with Boom Mic — What was That All About?… Indeed, why didn’t the secret service take any action? How could they be sure that the incident was innocuous? [More]

From my own experience with the Secret Service at Trump media events:

The day of the event, the press was instructed to meet at one end of the huge complex to check in, pick up badges, and for those bringing in cameras and gear, preset equipment, which the Secret Service would check.

What I don’t know is everything protocol requires the equipment to be inspected for.

Troll Complains It’s Not Being Fed

The FBI did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for comment on Patel’s reported requests. [More]

Why would he? He’s ferreting out the nmost dangerous kind of armed criminal– the kind that works in law enforcement and nowtands to lose everything when their treasonous subversion is exposed, and you apparatchiks are telling your useful idiots not piutting his life in their hands is “bonkers”and “paranoid.”

Once more, Bill Clinton’s rules of engagement come to mind…

I Got Them Lügenpresse Blues

Former Reporters for Politico Claim Outlet Squashed Negative Stories About the Bidens [More]

There’s a shocker.

Pointing out Nazi origins in an attempt to stop being called what they are doesn’t work with those not afraid to call a national socialist a national socialist. Besides, Democrats lying about the Second Amendment use Nazi terminology all the time.

That, and I don’t think they’ll like my alternative any better…

The ‘Convicts’ Tar Vanishes

US newspapers are deleting old crime stories, offering subjects a ‘clean slate’ [More]

So now it’s the job of “Authorized Journalists” to suppress relevant information. My “For ‘progressives,’ every day is Opposite Day” adage just keeps proving itself.

That’s one way for authorities to absolve themselves of the predictable results of catch-and-release.

I wonder where they got the idea from.

This is CNN

CNN Tries and Fails – Again – to Make Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law Controversial [More]

So a 42-year-old with a violent criminal history threatens an armed 79-year-old with a chainsaw, who responds appropriately, and that’s reason to disparage”Stand Y0ur Ground”?

The only thing controversial is why anyone still watches CNN.

Tangentially-related UPDATE

Or that more people don’t sue…

‘Fact Checker’ Meltdown

Doltish reporters Rebecca Shabad and Ryan J. Reilly breathlessly reported that “Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., falsely claimed in a lengthy post on X this morning that ‘thousands of peaceful grandmothers’ gathered Jan. 6, 2021, to take a tour of the U.S. Capitol building and that people peacefully explored the building.” They go on and on about “false” and “untrue” claims in Collins’ post, including some assertions that aren’t false. [More]

Doltish is right. I remember Ryan J. Reilly freaking out over “rubber bullets” that earned him his own special Fauxtoshop that seemed so appropriate…

Mexican Standoff

60 Minutes Gets Dragged on Twitter/X Over Story Praising Gun Control Policies in Mexico [More]

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be dragged and often, and by someone who knows how.

They had a chance to sustain real journalism about guns and Mexico with Sharyl Attkisson, but instead decided that didn’t fit the approved narrative. They could’a been contenders instead of DSM bums, which is what they are, let’s face it.

Might as well let ’em know someone’s on to their bullSh!+.

An ‘A’ in My Book

Kansas gets an F in gun legislation, national report says [More]

So, how many of the killers of those 500 people were inclined to obey existing laws, and which proposed new ones would have made them reconsider?

What a fraudulent scam every single damn one of these treasonous gun grab groups is. So nice one-sided PR piece masked as “news,” Kansas Reflector…

We really don’t…

De-Authorized Journalists

Everett mayor wins $1.1M in defamation settlement, local paper agrees to shut down – Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria alleged The Everett Leader Herald knowingly fabricated quotes and published false accusations against him. [More]

The guy’s a goddam gun-grabber and they gotta make stuff up about him? That’s gotta be a real Democrat dilemma, when you can’t go after him for what he’s really guilty of because you share that agenda.

Into the Grey Zone

There aren’t just democracies and dictatorships. There are many countries occupying a grey zone, where elections happen but harassment of the press and the opposition allows the regime to keep a vice grip on power. You can’t help but think that’s where Trump wants to take us. [Watch]

This liar again. Talking to this liar.

Talk about projection writ large…

Call Roto-Reuters, That’s the Name

The Biden Admin paid Reuters over $300 million in government contracts. 11 different Biden government agencies targeted Elon’s businesses. All 11 agencies paid millions to Reuters. Reuters then won the Pulitzer Prize for “their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his businesses” [More]

This is my shocked face.

I always put as much faith in their fidelity as I did in Roxanne Pulitzer’s:

So far Pulitzer or his witnesses have testified that Roxanne, 31, went to bed with a local real estate salesman, a French baker, a Belgian race-car driver, the beautiful young wife of a handsome old Kleenex heir, an alleged drug dealer and a supernatural trumpet. That’s right, trumpet. There are charges of drug use. And menages a trois. And incest. And death threats.

But what does #justablogger know, except that we just don’t hate the media enough?
