If It Saves One Life

“I know some of the opponents have said will this stop and end all gun violence? It will not,” said Rep. Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope of the red flag language. “But it is a tool that can prevent, and it is a tool that if it saves 10 lives, if it saves one life, we have done a job that needs to be done.” [More]

If that’s the threshold, can trampolines be far behind?

And notice how the “Authorized Journalists” obligingly advance suspension of due process as one of “public safety”? I wonder how many other rights we could abrogate that could “save one life”…?

We’re the Only Ones Unprotective Enough

U. Arizona’s first female police chief to step down following professor’s shooting death [More]

Apparently, failure to adequately bureaucratize overcomes “no duty to protect.”

What we won’t see blamed is this:

Arizona Board of Regents Policies 5-302 and 5-303 prohibit the use, possession, display, or storage of any weapons, explosive device, or fireworks on the University of Arizona campus and on all land and in all buildings owned or under the control of the University of Arizona on behalf of the Arizona Board of Regents, except as provided in ARS §12-781. No concealed carry permit exempts a person from this policy.

The march of folly continues unabated.

Rushed into Print

Man makes $21,000 selling 3D-printed guns during NY AG gun buyback program [More]

Does the state have the authority to ensure its “No Questions Asked” promise will keep the feds at bay on its “engaging in the business of dealing in firearms” prohibition for non-FFLs? Now that he’s on state and fed radar, I hope he gets qualified tax advice on how to report that.

Focus on What Works

Megyn Kelly talks about the mass shooting at a Texas mall over the weekend, why the gun control zealots are stopping us from getting anything done to stop these murders, what efforts could actually stop these prevalent shootings, and more. [More]

Good girl for the most part. Although I question her characterizing any grabber as “reasonable,” as she does when pointing viewers at the end to a debate she moderated.

One of These Things is Not Like the Others

Why are mass shootings rare in other countries despite high levels of gun ownership? [More]

Hmmm…

That is

indeed

a mystery

worth exploring…

Unfortunately, or I should say intentionally, “real reporter” Justin Klawans does not see fit to ask how similar demographics in the armed-to-the-teeth United States fare, and if there might be some populations (like the 5 million NRA members) with statistically insignificant “gun violence” incidents and rates, and others where the bad stuff is concentrated.

In other words:

But it was an intentional miss. His masters are paying him to not even mention that and draw exclusive focus to “gun laws,” and he knows if he doesn’t do what they expect, he can be replaced…

A Plan Comes Together

The actual supremacist is but one out of 13 horrific acts of violence that they whitewash with the exception of that one loathsome scum. If you just read and don’t click the links, you might very well think white people are going crazy with guns all over the country. [More]

Yeah. Ginning up mass fear is a useful precursor to ginning up mass hate.

How Very ‘Progressive’

A 46-year-old man was fatally shot by a fellow campaign staffer while handing out flyers for a progressive political group in Philadelphia ahead of the city’s upcoming mayoral race. [More]

OnePA? Looks like they’re 0 for 2 on “common sense gun reforms” and black lives mattering.

Care to see what else they’re wrong on?

The Old ‘I Was Only Following Orders’ Excuse

The question now becomes “What orders wouldn’t they follow?”

I see some approvingly saying “This is how you talk to them.”

Me, I hope ignoring the prime directive doesn’t get him in trouble, particularly if “No, I didn’t do anything wrong” (2:34) comes back to haunt him.

O Canada

The Canadian press reports this initial step is a contract with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), a group representing Canada’s hunting and sport shooting industry, to work with Public Safety Canada and firearm businesses and retailers. [More]

So they’ll be like kapos…?

What else am I supposed to think when I see governments limiting rights to “sporting purposes“?

After While, Crocodile

The US border with Mexico will be “chaotic for a while,” President Joe Biden acknowledged Tuesday, days before the lifting of pandemic-era rules that have made claiming asylum at the frontier all but impossible. Tens of thousands of people are massing at border crossing points awaiting the expiration of so-called Title 42 overnight Thursday into Friday. [More]

“A while” being until it is stopped, which from the looks of things won’t be until after that “Great Replacement” we’re told only right-wing white supremacists worry about has accomplished its objectives. How is allowing this not an act of insurrection arising from a seditious conspiracy?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Sounds Like Retaliation to Me

COURT DOCS: ATF staffer admits to passing confidential records to gun rights groups [More]

This is what happens when the ones who want to do the right thing don’t get whistleblower protection, and why Mike and I were so adamant about not trusting Holder’s DOJ but instead pressed Senate Judiciary and House Oversight to do the right thing, even if only for political reasons of their own.

It’s why I’m going to Oversight again on the Secret Service/Hunter Biden allegations. This time, on my own and with no insiders to bring in, I’m afraid it’s proving even more of an uphill battle.

So which “gun rights group” was it he was feeding information to? If it were me, I’d be out there banging pots and pans and defending him. Let’s hope someone can assure us he’s not being left hanging out there to dry.

And the Lying Political Whore Award Goes To…

Tennessee governor schedules special session to address guns [More]

Made inevitable by “lesser of two evils” political desperation…

Take the short-term loss to avoid long-term certainty, because as we’ve seen yet once more over in Texas, counting on most “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” not to be lying whores is a sucker’s game where the house generally wins.

If betrayers aren’t made public examples of, others will see they too can get away with it.

She Went to Jared

Dem strategist draws Venn diagram of men with guns and men who are afraid to take the subway [More]

Enough serious Second Amendment practitioners immerse themselves in Democrat sh!+holes to graph out…?

What does it say about Jared Kushner’s core “principles” that he hired her to run his paper? That we don’t already know…?
