Close But No Cigar

As the Left makes arguments that gun control is about saving lives, Pope Francis and the American bishops have taken this tack as well. Though the USCCB’s emphasis is certainly on sensible measures (such as reasonable background checks), the push to have Congress tighten the legislation around the buying and selling of firearms ever since Columbine seems a little too in lockstep with the liberal sectors of government—such as their support for banning assault-style weapons and limiting handgun ownership.

This is a damn sight better than 99.9% of what I see coming from the Church, but who says background checks are sensible and reasonable?

Planting the Seed

While the law that created the program does not say that the kits are to help identify children’s bodies after a school shooting, that hasn’t stopped some parents from drawing a link between the two. [More]

Which parents? Democrat gun-grabbers?

Lie, spread the lie, and get the ignorant and emotion-driven all agitated…

This is very similar to how lynch mobs are formed.

Ganging Up

CNN Announces “Guns in America” Beat and Team – Led by CNN Guns and Security Correspondent Josh Campbell, the new unit will feature reporting and analysis from The Reload’s Stephen Gutowski, The Trace’s Jennifer Mascia and The Guardian’s Abené Clayton [More]

So basically three against one is considered a fair fight?

I’ve taken on more

It reminded me of another online fight.

A Gun Sense Candidate

A Democrat Nevada state Senator, Pat Spearman, who is running for North Las Vegas Mayor, is in the spotlight speaking about gun violence. This is because Spearman’s son, whom she adopted, shot her nephew… [More]

And note the passive voice deflection:

It’s with a heavy heart that my family is impacted by gun violence.

Victims all! Sounds like just the person to dictate my family’s gun rules! And yours…

Hoist with His Own Petard

Austin Durrer, who has worked for Crist since 2016, was arrested Tuesday in Cambridge, Maryland, on second-degree assault charges in a case classified as “domestic violence,” according to Dorchester County court records obtained by Fox News Digital. Durrer was released on $10,000 bond after his arrest, and the court ordered him to surrender firearms and vacate his home. [More]

Gee, I feel real bad for him losing his guns like that…

He’s Made His Bed

DeSantis creates illegal gun-free zone during Alachua fundraiser [More]

Someone should have gone armed and forced the issue, perhaps by calling the sheriff and issuing an on-the-spot complaint against private security violating Florida law.

Mark Walters and I talked about this, and we both agreed DeSantis had it in his power to make everything right. He had time to do just that and instead opted to hope nobody noticed and/or the ones that didn’t wouldn’t be showstoppers.

That he did not rectify things should be considered a huge strike against him. It’s curious that none of his starry-eyed supporters wanted to reply:

Moving in for the Kill

Breaking: Sandy Hook Families Now Seeking $2.75 TRILLION in Addition to Billion from Alex Jones [More]

My natural sympathy has gone right out the window. Whether they’re launching this obscene attack on freedom out of greed or out of grief ceases to matter at this point, because this group of blinded tools is allowing itself to be used to undermine both speech and RKBA. Either way, they deserve to be repelled.

McMullin Knows a Thing or Two about Betraying Constitution

When McMullin makes accusations about betraying the Constitution, a dispassionate conclusion would be someone who knows how to do that like a pro is projecting his penchant for betrayal on others for obvious reasons. [More]

It really says something about this moron’s arguments when the best rebuttal to them comes from Pee-wee Herman

On an unrelated note:

Those of you who noticed the site was down all day, I kept getting 504 Gateway Timeout messages– I did all the things I knew how to do on my end, which isn’t much: clearing the cache, restarting, cussing loudly, but ended up calling HostGator tech support who were able to identify that the IP address for the site didn’t match and they did a fix. I don’t know how that happened. That was hours ago and the site is just getting back to where I can access it more often than it times out, so I was able to get in, approve comments and post this promo for my latest AmmoLand article.

Per normal, unless something YUGE happens, I don’t plan on doing updates over the weekend (I will be working on articles behind the scenes and spending a day on the leaves that bury the yard every year around this time). Hopefully, the situation is resolved and any news link tips received Monday won’t be a wasted effort.

Knock on wood.

The More Things Change the More They Stay the Same

Between 70-90% of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico can be traced back to the U.S. [More]

This is the same crap the grabbers were pulling before we exposed Fast and Furious gunwalking.  It says nothing about guns purposely NOT submitted for tracing.

How about government does its job and safeguards the f***ing  border instead of you letting in the cartels while demanding our disarmament?

I’m sorry for the Newtown losses, but they’re not my fault and any natural sympathy I have goes out the window when they attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones. Whether you attack me out of greed or out of grief ceases to matter at that point– either way, you deserve to be repelled.

As if by Design

Fourteen Senate Democrats on Tuesday sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) asking the agencies to strictly enforce a new law on ghost guns because companies are dodging the rule through a loophole. [More]

Reminds me of a Xeroxed cartoon that was making the rounds out of the engineering department at a place I used to work at:

Good Thing Fang Fang was on Birth Control!


Brought to you by police state monopoly of violence proponents who want their enforcers to be the “Only Ones” with guns.

In reality, when those are established, the exact opposite occurs.

Dodged that bullet!

Lies, Damn Lies…

Support for major gun laws could also be substantially increased if key concerns are addressed. [More]

…and 97percent

Note it hasn’t been established what respondents actually know about these “laws,” and especially what they’re not being told about the negative impacts on freedom of prior restraints and due process abuses, how none of this addresses the real problems behind the “crime” concerns, and how the ultimate agenda will never reach a final increment where the men behind the curtain say “No more.”
