The Safety Dance

Missiles hit Dubai. Influencer still claims it’s safer than US cities
Influencer Mike Babayan says he still feels safe in Dubai as missiles strike the region. [More]

Google AI…? What say you?

Many freedoms protected in the U.S. are illegal in Dubai, UAE, due to strict conservative laws and autocratic governance. Key restrictions include prohibitions on criticizing the government, public displays of affection, LGBTQ+ rights, independent media, public protests, and certain expressions of religion. Violating these can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation. U.S. Department of State (.gov)

Not that I’m saying AI is GIGO curated leftist opinion or anything, but it avoided something. I said “avoided” instead of “forgot,” because it knows:

Dubai has extremely strict gun laws under UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2019, making private firearm ownership difficult and heavily regulated. Licenses are required for purchasing or possessing weapons, with illegal possession resulting in severe penalties like imprisonment and deportation. Ownership is limited to specific purposes like sport or hunting, requiring strict licensing.

Mr. Franklin…? (And yes, I’m aware of original context.)

Maybe the wrong people are “influencers.”

Still, he has a point about cities and the dangerous oppressiveness of Democrat rule.

Survey SAYS…

19 Million Americans Have Seriously Thought About Shooting Someone, National Survey Suggests [More]

Outside of playing cowboy as a child, I don’t recall even fantasizing, let alone seriously considering. Even during my DGU, I hoped things would go no further.

So, what are we talking here about with homicides, like two-tenths of one percent of those who think about it act on it? And factoring in suicides and justifiable shootings, we need to impose fundamental rights-denying prohibitions on the 99.9+ percent, rather than focus on removing those who can’t be trusted from access to the rest of us?

Pick Your Poison

March For Our Lives Backs Federal Gun Ban for Marijuana Users [More]

That’s just what they’ll admit to for now.

Don’t doubt they’re also for gun bans for alcohol drinkers.

And for gun owners.

They’re not the young, hip kids their professional PR flacks paint them out to be– they’re humorless, blue-nosed prohibitionists, biddies, and control freaks.

Brace Yourselves

In a blunt court filing from Monday, March 16, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urged a federal judge to dismiss a high-profile challenge to its now-defunct pistol stabilizing brace rule, arguing the case has become completely moot. At the same time, the agency made clear it has no intention of abandoning enforcement against certain braced pistols under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA). [More]

See, when Pam says “full might,” she also means “full might not.”

The Bridge to Nowhere

‘Bridging the Divide’ on Firearms Laws [More]

Oh, look, kinder, gentler gun control couched as a meeting of reasonable minds. Where have we seen that before? And before that?

And when we no longer have to expend resources on these, we can focus on our next steps toward the goal.

If these rights swindlers wanted to attract more gun owners, they’d be stumping for BIDS– and not doing so reveals the fraud behind “background checks.”

Figures, Rob Pincus is part of it...

Up in Smoke

Are regular marijuana users the modern equivalent of “habitual drunkards” at the Founding? What about someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme Court today in United States v. Hemani, the federal government argues that they are the same. [More]

“Full might,” eh?

What a mess.

Anyone who can’t be trusted with weed and a gun…

Or booze and a gun…

I’m thinking Bondi needs lithium therapy…

Stopping the Signal

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.

I wonder if Harmeet would agree…

The Man Who Never Was

Via email:

It never happened, so like a hate hoax, which this actually is, they had to make it up. The reality is:

Change in Concealed Carry Law Did Not Drive Violent Crime in Ohio Cities, Study Shows

It’s actually a riff on a meme they’ve been using for years” You’re a law-abiding gun owners UNTIL YOU’RE NOT!”

Life imitates art.

Bissful Ignorance

Establishment Democrats fend off far-left influencer…Kat Abughazaleh… She lost to Daniel Biss, the mayor of Everston, Ill., and a former state lawmaker. [More]

So, someone who is running on a platform to “Repeal the Second Amendment” is considered an “establishment Democrat” and representative of what Everytown/Moms Demand consider “commonsense gun safety laws?”

Told ya.

He’s doing the Safety Dance.

There’s no giving an inch to these lying tyrant wannabes. You’d think NRA’s “A+ rated and endorsed” rated John Cornyn would understand that.

Going Viral

[W]ould I word it differently? Would I use a different metaphor? Maybe… [More]

Note he didn’t say he doesn’t believe every word of it?

What do we do with viruses? Pretty much the same thing we do with vermin.

And James has just the plan to make that happen.

Don’t be a useful Fudd idiot like John, conveniently not identified so his creds as a representative Texas gun owner could be checked.

Rhode Island Reds

And in true pincer strategy fashion, they’re making sure their enforcers will “just follow orders.”

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Cornyn Pushed Potentially “Sharia-Compliant” Visa Program His Daughter’s Lobbying Firm Made A Fortune From [More]

And if we’re to believe some of our more popular “gun rights authorities,” me suggesting that importing such people will have an impact on government recognition of our rights, and that ought ot be factored into the Cornyn/Paxton equation, would be”both bigoted and wildly unpopular. Some real loser shit.”
