In the Days Before ‘Commonsense Gun Safety’…

“Possibly you’re old enough to remember the great massacre spree of 1964? … And all because, in its infinite stupidity, the U.S. Government dumped 240,000 high-capacity .30-caliber assault rifles into an otherwise innocent America.” Remember when that happened? No? Me neither, despite being a historian. That’s because it didn’t happen, despite hundreds of thousands of M-1 Carbines being dumped on an unsuspecting public in 1963 for less than a hundred bucks apiece. NRA members could buy them for a 20-dollar bill. No background check either. [More]

Ah, “progress.”

With Republicans Like These

The Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act, debuted by U.S. Rep. Chris Jacobs (D-NY) on Monday, would create a scheme for any American seeking to legally purchase most new semi-auto rifles, shotguns, or pistols that would require the government to first sign off on the acquisition. [More]

Wrong, Guns.com. He’s an NRA-endorsed Republican and one of the usual suspects. And registration is just the first step toward this lying sack’s real goal.

He’s figured he can’t run again with this level of betrayal, so this is his parting shot at doing as much destruction as possible.  GovTrack doesn’t have a prognosis yet, but my guess is it has less than a 1% chance at passage if the GOP doesn’t blow the “red wave.”

Where does the party find subversive whores like this?

Holding Out for More

On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz went to the Senate floor to seek unanimous consent for his proposed school safety bill, but it was blocked. Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, objected to the Cruz legislation and criticized him for not being serious. [More]

That means it doesn’t ban guns, so he’d rather more children be slaughtered until he gets a bill that does.

Convenience Store Clerk’s Execution Shows Danger of ‘Giving Robbers What They Want’

They’re forbidden to have the means of defense. Instead, those who demand they stay this way offer useless advice guaranteed to leave them at the mercy of those who have none: “Give them what they want.” [More]

The question must be asked: “What if what they want is your life?”

As Good a Reason to Disarm You and Me as Any

Little told police that Straughter had put a gun on a television stand the night before and that the gun would have been within the boy’s reach, charges said. She also said she knew the gun was there and that neither she nor Straughter moved it. [More]

I can’t tell you how many times feral sons Uday and Qusay were exposed to that exact same situation growing up.

Meanwhile, Over at the Cult of Death…

Texas A&M Promotes ‘Self-Managed Abortion’ Event to Students [More]

As regulars here know, there have been a few times in the past month where various personal priorities have kept me from posting here for a day or so. One of those priorities was the birth of my first grandchild, a beautiful and healthy little girl, four weeks ago today.

Her birth was premature, by six weeks, and she was in the NICU until recently.  She’s actually still not even “scheduled” to be born until nine days from now, which I guess makes her fair game for childless Stacey Abrams and communion-taking Catholics Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.

There is no question she is a human being, and that the taking of her life, if she had not come early, would have been an act of premeditated murder. There is also no question that the development of her nervous system would make the “procedure” an act of agonizing medieval torture rivaling the disembowelment and drawing and quartering of William Wallace.

Oh, and there is also no question that she is a female.

I guess the only question I have left is since the people doing this are overwhelmingly the ones enabling those who would disarm and rule or kill me and mine if they could, why should I care if they wish to cull their next generations of voters?

We’re the Only Ones Confiscating Enough

In a letter provided to AmmoLand News from Gun Owners of America (GOA), dated August 31, 2022, Inspector Hugh Bogle of the New York Police Department (NYPD) informed business owners with an active business, limited carry, special carry, or carry business license that their business might now be in a “sensitive area” and were informed to bring their guns to the police station so that the guns can be “safeguarded,” or remove them from the location. [More]

What does registration lead to again…?

But no one’s talking about taking your guns, you paranoids!

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

Ax-wielding madman runs amok in NYC McDonald’s — and nobody was lovin’ it [More]

They’d better get busy expanding those “sensitive zones“…

UPDATE

Should’a seen this coming:

That NYC psycho who smashed up a McD’s and threatened a bunch of people with an axe? Yeah, he was released without bail.
