Spider & the Fly

After 67 years, Cuba’s marriage to a Communist government has not yielded the promised dream. Dissidents are disappeared; refugees flee into shark-infested waters. Cubans are living in a nightmare. [More]

Made not just possible, but inevitable by “¿Armas para que?

Making Cuban American Democrats supporting citizen disarmament traitors to both countries. And speaking of which, if we’re talking generations, confused moron Emma is going backwards.

Excreting Sheila from the Body Politic

The momentum for expulsion comes after a House ethics subcommittee found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations in March, including allegations related to stealing millions of disaster relief funds to finance her congressional run. She is also facing a separate federal criminal indictment that could result in more than 53 years in prison if convicted. [More]

What is it with ethical dwarfs supported by prohibitionist groups wanting our guns?

And what is it with voters in her district electing a scumbagette to replace a scumbag?

Dismissal of Immigration Threat is What the Gun Prohibitionists’ Want

A Rebuttal to Cam Edwards’ Article ‘Should 2A Groups Make Opposition to Legal Immigration an Issue? A Response to David Codrea’ [More]

By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.

Not Here for the Ratio

So that’s how they get away with it!

And their “solution”?

Then again, even blind pigs can find the occasional acorn:

Cabal News

Sudden GOP infighting explodes over bipartisan immigration reform bill [More]

How undignified!

Vichycons for Haitian Hammer Killers… ?

But wait! There’s more:

While the Salazar-Lawler bill is the worst of it, there are other efforts afoot from the same cabal of anti-MAGA “Republicans.” Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.) has reintroduced H.R. 5494, the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act. The bill expands visas for up to 500,000 alien laborers in the construction, hospitality, and other sectors and proposes a new H-2C visa program for critical jobs that do not require a college degree but are essential to business operations and U.S. economic growth.

With a name like Smucker, he has to be good (from 2016):

Change my mind on how his supporting a massive influx of foreign nationals will be good for the future of 2A.

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts?

Bring back Project Exile (1997) since this law remains on the books. We need to enforce the laws we have, there seems to be little need for new laws , in my opinion. [More]

No and no.

The problem is, louder subsidized voices with longer reach dominate the discussion, and us niche-within-a-niche guys don’t even make it to most gun owners’ radar.

Case in point

Text, history, and tradition tell us the Framers and the ratifiers would have rejected infringements. And reality tells us that citizen disarmament gives both predators and tyrants the advantage they need to succeed.

You’re a Daisy if You Do

New York Lawmakers Move to Restrict BB and Pellet Guns – Proposed legislation would redefine air guns as ‘imitation weapons’ and impose new regulations. [More]

In other words, I had more freedom as a boy in the Shah’s Iran than Americans do in the Land of the Second Amendment.

The Fix is In

The Democratic governor’s changes to House Bill 217/Senate Bill 749 remove the word “fixed” from part of the bill’s definition of an assault firearm, which could sharply expand the range of semi-automatic rifles and pistols swept into the ban, Republicans say. [More]

It’s good that DOJ is going to fight this, but let’s be careful not to turn “common use” into a trap.

Ultimately, it boils down to how many Virginians are committed to the Commonwealth’s motto.

‘A Lifelong Republican’

Told ya. May she be as successful with this as she was at accomplishing nothing over at 97percent.

And here she is praising a ‘No Kings’ rally. Her journey to the dark side is complete.

Be interesting to see her gun platform when she gets a campaign website up.

That’s Why It’s Called ‘Fraud’

Decades of national and state-level data on violent crime, homicide, and mass shooting show no consistent evidence that stricter gun laws reduce overall crime rates. [More]

Right, but as anyone with a brain knows, that’s just an excuse to give the suckers while they’re swindling them out of their rights, and never was what they’re intended to do.

This is My Shocked Face

New York City’s Prohibition on Stun Guns, Tasers Survives Appeal [More]

And here we thought the Supreme Court was pretty clear whan it ruled:

The Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.

Until such @$$hole judges face consequences, this kind of crap will continue.

Not Just Anyone

They Finally Said It Out Loud… And It’s Worse Than Anyone Thought [Watch]

Not me. I’ve been beating the “they want to disarm us” drum for years– and documenting every claim I make with the words of the infringers.

As for ultimately wanting to disarm cops, I wrote this back in 2000:

“I want an absolute ban on the manufacture, sale possession and use of handguns and automatic weapons in this country, with long prison sentences for violations,” Sallie commands. “The police need guns – at least until we get rid of the hundreds of millions of guns floating around,” Sallie lets slip.

Of course, then they wouldn’t be the “Only Ones,” would they?

Bridging the Divide on Guns a Bridge to Nowhere

Their “Diverse Coalition of Gun Rights and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates” includes rabid prohibitionist zealots who have made careers out of trying to eviscerate the Second Amendment through lawfare and gun bans, with not one recognized “no compromise” member. [More]

Oh, look, another covertly-funded AstroTurf group comprised of useful idiots and rabid prohibitionists trying to lure in low information gun owners who haven’t seen this game before. By “compromise,” they mean you do it.

Lies of Commission and Omission

A recent news headline declared, “11,500 shootings occurred within 500 yards of US schools last year.” The obvious implication is that American school children are under daily fire on school campuses nationwide. But, as with most gun control narratives in national media written by reporters who mostly don’t understand the basics of firearms or criminal gun use, that narrative collapses under the slightest scrutiny. The first glaring red flag in this story is that Hearst Television Data Visualization Journalist Susie Webb and the WCVB Get the Facts Data Team built their agenda-driven narrative by relying on gun control advocacy site The Trace’s “School-Adjacent Shootings” dataset, which tracks Gun Violence Archive (GVA) incidents that fell within 500 yards of a K-12 school. Even that dataset warns that each row is a shooting-to-school match and must be deduplicated before anyone totals up the incidents, deaths or injuries. However, that was not done before Webb and WVTM’s story went live on several news outlets, on social media, on Hearst Television’s YouTube channel and was even—unsurprisingly—picked up by MSN.

Texas Democrat James Talarico Said Having Police in Schools Fuels ‘Culture of Violence’ in Newly Resurfaced Audio [More]

Why is it every time I see this lunatic I picture Elliot Page?

If it ends up being between him and Cornyn, well, this is how the system keeps gunvoters in line.

And look what else Texans can elect. Good grief.
