Talking the Walk

So they “grill” her and she tells them what they want to hear so they can make excuses for her… what will that prove?

Words are words and actions are actions.

We’re the Only Ones Equipped Enough

Officer Wounded After NYC Shootout Leaves ‘Career Criminal’ Dead … Worthy “had 17 priors including murder,” “was on lifetime parole for firearms possession,” and was just released last last week after being arrested on drug charges and for resisting arrest. [More]

I guess ordinary “law-abiding” New Yorkers kept unarmed by the same sytsem that releases caught predators back among them are lucky there was an “Only One” nearby.

The Heckler’s Veto

It’s literally 99.9999 or something like that of the AR-15s in America will have no connection to a murder in any given year, in other words well over 99.9 % of the AR-15s in the United States will have no connection to criminality in the United States in any given year, so if you’re going to have the government ban the 99.99% of the AR-15s in the United States because of a few hundred bad apples misbehaving with AR-15s you have engaged in a violation of our constitutional rights known as the Heckler veto… [Watch]

Good points. It sounds like you could make a good case that of all the people who heard Donald Trump speak on Jan. 6, only a handful ignored his call to be peaceful and got rowdy to the point of striking out at others, and that shouldn’t abridge his First Amendment-protected rights.

As an aside, I know speaking is different thatn writing in terms of not being able to go back and edit remarks before they’re released, but I hope in the future he’s mindful to say “killed with” more and “killed by” less.

We’re the Only Ones Educating Enough

Lambert told reporters the department is pushing for state legislation that would make possession of three or more gun parts a misdemeanor, which would allow law enforcement to educate legal firearm owners who may not be aware of the ghost gun issue. [More]

That’s one way to characterize dynamic entries with guns drawn…

We’re the Only Ones Reasonable Enough

“Any reasonable officer arriving at the scene would have simply confirmed Agent Burk’s credentials, then offered him assistance or cleared from the scene,” attorneys from the firm Cooper Elliot wrote. “Instead, the officers who did arrive immediately drew their weapons on Agent Burk, berated him, manhandled him, repeatedly tased him, cuffed him and locked him in the back of a police cruiser.” [More]

So she was trusted without a custodian and they stopped him from infringing on her RKBA?

Unless the “illegal” shotgun was stolen, what’s unreasonable about that?

With Republicans Like These

Albritton, R-Wauchula, told reporters that as a life-long and consistent supporter of law enforcement, he will oppose any open carry legislation in 2025: “I trust my law enforcement officials. They oppose it … and I stand with them today in opposition.” [More]

Because after all, who works for whom?

He’s in a solidly Republican district, the primary was canceled, and he’s got his seat ’til ’28, so what’s he care what you think?

Gun Group Watch

Will we see leadership on this?

I just checked the Twitter/X feeds for them and nada…

I wonder what they have to say about Bondi’s role in railroading George Zimmerman…

The Childrens’ Crusade

The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump to try to deport any illegal migrants from his city, saying he would deploy the Denver City Police and volunteers from the local community to use force against federal forces trying to deport illegals. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun… You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. You don’t want to mess with them.” [More]

Nothing seditiously cospiratorial about that…

And armed with what?

What’s the beef against Trump and the J6ers about again…?

File Under ‘WTF?’

President-elect Trump announces Pam Bondi as his new pick for US attorney general [More]

That would be the same Pam Bondi NRA sued over denial of rights for 18-20-year-olds where the 11th Circuit, contrary to Bruen, “decided that historical sources from Reconstruction are more probative of the Second Amendment’s scope than those from the Founding.”

I can sense the apologists preparing arguments that her job is to defend state law.

I don’t hold any politician to standards I don’t hold myself to. I’d quit a job that required me to do that.

Wouldn’t you?

More words, President Trump?

This is exactly why “Gun Owners for Trump” needs to be more than names to help him get elected but actually be a presence and have his ear when he’s in power.
