When Seconds Count

Farrant gave evidence that the shooting began at 1:40 p.m. at the Al Noor mosque … The gunman was caught by police at around 2 p.m. [More]

That’s an excellent response time. And utterly useless at stopping the carnage.

What’s the one thing that could have?

So naturally, the communists in charge made the proles even more helpless.

Ruthless J6 Prosecutions Confirm the Ones Afraid of Oath Keepers are Oath Breakers

One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]

Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”

Point/Counterpoint

As predicted by the Four Boxes Diner, in a 2-1 decision the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit— via a opinion by judges Wood and Easterbrook— have upheld Illinois’s “assault weapon” ban. However there is a strong dissent here. This decision is no shock to Four Boxes Diner viewers because as I explained before, in my view, Judge Wood and Judge Easterbrook are unserious jurists on 2A issues and this was a given outcome (unfortunate and frustrating, yes, but entirely predictable).

Meanwhile, over in Fantasy Land…

We’re the Only Ones Racist Enough

N—a wanted to carry a gun in the Wild West. Not on my watch haha… Think I give a f–k what y’all n–s think?!???? I’ll shoot you too!!!!! [More]

Remind you of anybody…? The oinker not only didn’t get canned after that but he got promoted (pg. 3)

And I never did find out what happened to the double-tappers…

Yes, That’s a ‘No’

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm. [More]

I can’t wait for him to flesh out his enforcement plan.

What we need to know (for now):

Text- Not available yet.

5 Cosponsors (5 Democrats)

Prognosis 2% chance of being enacted (details)

Communist, eh...?

Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?

Cert Granted

Cargill v. Garland [More]

Issue:

Whether a bump stock device is a “machinegun” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) because it is designed and intended for use in converting a rifle into a machinegun, i.e., into a weapon that fires “automatically more than one shot … by a single function of the trigger.”

Guess what that will determine.

You Can’t Have Your Lekach and Eat It Too

“It’s a dark and dangerous time for Jews right now,” Panitch, who is the only Jewish American lawmaker in the Georgia legislature, said. “I’ve heard from people in the community who are afraid who have talked about other types of self-defense, including firearms,” Panitch said. “I have upgraded my weapons training as a result of what’s going on. [More]

And Georgia’s Democrat Jews, along with “Look at her– she’s one of us!” gun owners, are slaves to identity politics enough to believe this kapo fraud?

Semantic Gymnastics?

ATF Director Calls for Universal Background Checks, Assault Weapons Ban at Harvard IOP Forum [More]

Then there’s this:

And then we scan them, right? But as far as I know, we are the only customer of Adobe Acrobat that actually pays extra money to have search capability taken out of that software.

I see some influencers treating this like a newly admitted database violation “Gotcha.” I must not be grokking something because this has been out there for years:

How can a database be “non-searchable”? Trick question: The system can’t really be considered a database. (There is a reason the ATF uses the phrase “data systems” instead). There is no ability to search the text of a file, and no effort is made to tag files with identifiers that could later be used to sort and search. “We compare it to an electronic card catalog system, where records are digitally imaged, but not optimized for character recognition,” ATF spokesman Corey Ray says.

Am I completely missing a point?

Hollywood Squares

Joining the Brady gun control outfit are Christy Callahan, a former motion picture creative executive and TV writer; Jared Milrad, an “award-winning filmmaker, actor, entrepreneur and advocate for inclusion and social impact in entertainment”; and Matt Littman, who is leaving his position at the gun control group 97 percent. [More]

And every one of those powerhouse names is just as notable — and just as qualified to lead on the issue– as the guy who played the Ty D Bol man.

When we last left Matthew, he was being replaced for not growing an Astroturf-funded group with all kinds of free national publicity beyond 11K Facebook followers…

And if this is Christy, I’ve as many IMDB credits, and I’m not even in the industry.

As for Jared, what can you say about a guy whose claim to fame appears to be Babygayz, “An animated web series that follows the adventures of four precocious, highly curious babies as they tackle everyday issues in the gay community”…?

Everybody trembling in awe yet…?
