Panama Red and Brazil Nuts

On July 6, teachers-union activists began protests … The leadership of the construction workers union are militant leftists… [More]

Thanks, Jimmy Carter and the Senate!

And as long as we’re heading south:

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]

And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Shoulder Things That Go Up

Rep Cicilline on stabilizing braces: “When attached here, it turns this weapon into an automatic weapon. It becomes a bump stock, and so it will allow that to essentially be fired like an automatic weapon. That’s the danger.” [More]

And you could cook a deer from the inside!

An Uncollectable Win

GOA AND GOF SUE NEW YORK OVER NEW CONCEALED CARRY RESTRICTIONS [More]

A right delayed… and until they’re stopped, they’ll keep inventing new ways to deny and continue kicking the can down the road to nowhere.

This is what preemptive surrender Republicans don’t get. Democrats fight every inch of the way. They don’t give, they take. And then come back for more.

Windbag Control Freak Blows Hot Air but Shows Hand

SCHIFF BILL TO REPEAL GUN INDUSTRY LIABILITY SHIELD PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE [More]

It’s instructive to see that the goal really is total disarmament, but the creepy punk is just whoring for headlines here and knows this isn’t going anywhere:

Cosponsors: 72 Cosponsors (72 Democrats)

Prognosis2% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs

Figures he and his fellow seditious conspirators put the term “Equal Access” in the title of a bill designed to make guns too expensive for “those people.”

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Republicans got tougher sentences, Democrats got more gun control, and both got to pretend they were doing something to prevent mass shootings. [More]

The difference being, by removing another obstacle, the Democrats have succeeded once more incrementally advanced toward their totalitarian goal and the dumb @$$Republicans have “succeeded” once more in demotivating a core constituency in advance of an important election.

Chronic and Habitual LIARS


He deliberately spreads a narrative talking point lie about destructive power.

And the “expert” he turns to tells two flat-out lies– first, the VPC deception, that the grabbers refuse to acknowledge because they rely on ignorance:

The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.

And secondly, the history behind the development of the AR-15, confirmed by ATF in a FOIA response:

“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”

Hit it, Sir Wilfrid…
