Finishing the Sentence

“We respectfully disagree with the Court’s conclusion that the Second Amendment forbids New York’s reasonable requirement that individuals seeking to carry a concealed handgun must show that they need to do so for self-defense. The Department of Justice remains committed to saving innocent lives by enforcing and defending federal firearms laws, partnering with state, local and tribal authorities and using all legally available tools to tackle the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our communities… [More]

Names That Should Live in Infamy

The Republicans who joined Democrats in voting for the bill were Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Todd Young of Indiana, and Roy Blunt of Missouri.

Of these, two [three] are retiring and the only one who needs to run for reelection now is Murkowski, who also voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and to confirm Biden pick Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

We’ve talked about her before — plenty. I believe she will make a perfect object lesson to defeat, provided a sufficient number of gun owners want to actually do something about it instead of standing there and bleeding.

Meanwhile, well-heeled Stupid Party Vichycon luminaries think it’s a smart idea to rub the betrayal in our faces before the presumed “red wave.”

More Fuel for the Fire!

Self-described ‘antiracism educator’ Tim Wise recently wrote an opinion piece for Politico about the May shooting in Buffalo, New York. In the article, he blames the incident on the purported lack of anti-racism education, a situation for which he blames conservatives. [More]

So they need more?

As opposed to years of bullying brainwashing causing the weaker links to snap and lash out in revenge at the people and places they see as sources of torment?

“Wise,” huh? What’s the opposite of an aptronym?

Americans Panic-Searched Buying Guns After Biden Threatens More Gun Control [More]

Asleep-at-the-switch citizenship malpractitioners went nuts trying to buy them during the L.A. riots too and were amazed to find there were hurdles they couldn’t clear.

It didn’t change the way the city continued to vote.

‘Staunch Supporters of the Second Amendment’

The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance a new bipartisan gun control bill in a procedural move that saw 14 Republicans support firearm restrictions. [More]

What did anyone expect? Courage and principle from career poltroons?

I can’t wait to see the superlatives NRA will use when describing them in its next endorsement.
