Down the Garden Path

First Presbyterian Church in Iowa City hosted Iowa’s first Guns to Gardens event. The drive thru event was supported by volunteers from FPC and Johnson County Moms Demand Action. [More]

How many laws were they allowed to break?

I’m going to ask Len Savage what we need to do to host a Gardens to Guns event. Bring in your unwanted tools…

UPDATE

Ha! Len sent me this:

Old but Gold: Build your own AK-47 from a shovel!

And Democrats want to put you in jail for this.

An EVOLVing Story

The chief executive of Evolv, the firm behind the Adams administration’s controversial subway gun scanner program, has been fired in the wake of revelations that employees of the tech company engaged in misconduct during business deals, Evolv’s board announced Thursday. In a statement, Evolv’s board said the termination of CEO Peter George is effective immediately and part of an effort to clean house as the company’s stock value has plunged amid the misconduct revelations and several active investigations scrutinizing the firm’s operations.

That you can’t trust a rope-selling capitalist is news?

Maybe We Should Start Calling Him Kodos

Nothing about grandmothers…?

New York’s former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has officially been referred for criminal prosecution after a lengthy congressional investigation into his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his decision to force nursing homes to take in sick patients — resulting in thousands of deaths. [More]

Yeah, but he did it for the greater good.

Life imitates art.

So… will he be ordered to surrender his guns…?

Dingell’s Rant on Trump Internment Camps Highlights Evil of Citizen Disarmament

To stop a Hitler, who wouldn’t need not just the semiautomatics Democrats are trying to ban, but real “weapons of war”? Just like the Founders intended…? [More]

If you truly believed Trump was a Nazi dictator bent on setting up camps, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be armed?

Messin’ with Texas

Through the case, Plaintiffs seek to end enforcement of Texas laws that restrict firearm carry in three locations: (1) in any business where alcohol comprises 51% or more of sales (even if the individual is not consuming alcohol), (2) racetracks, and (3) sporting events. [More]

Despite its reputation, Texas has been late coming to the party on a lot of things.

The Last Stand

No Place to Hide. No Place to Run. The USA is the Last Best Hope [More]

This is another reason why a substantial “conservative” following of the late “Coach Red Pill” YouTuber Gonzalo Lira baffled me:

This is a guy many claiming to be “on the right” listen to and ardently defend, which is curious when you consider five months ago he advised “If you live in any of the democracies of the West, you should leave now while you still can.” … Leftist totalitarians will “take over and crush all opposition.” Forget the Second Amendment, he asserts. “The American military will crush any…kind of armed resistance in the United States.”

Joe Biden couldn’t have said that last bit any better.

Catalyst

“Cedric Dark is … the cousin of a man who was shot to death.” [More]

And now, the rest of the story on the life-changing personal trauma that forged his conviction to crusade:

I wasn’t particularly close to Robbie — he lived two states away … I didn’t attend the funeral. I hate funerals.

And how did it happen?

From Chapter One, “Trauma”:

He was in a bar when he got a call that prompted him to rush over to his girlfriend’s apartment:

I’m having a tough time envisioning how any of the disarmament edicts Cedric demands mandated for you and me would have affected the outcome.

Saving the Ungrateful

The US ‘Gun Culture’ That Saved Europe Does Not Occur In A Vacuum [More]

Reminds me of an old GunTruths.com poster… and an old TTAG article.

Miguel A. Faria, M.D. relates the story of Sgt. York and notes what has happened before could very well repeat itself.

Everyone here has read his America, Guns, and Freedom, right?

No? Why? And why not fix that?

A Learning Experience

ATF Raid 3-D Printed Firearms Maker on Machinegun Charges [More]

Not to blame the victim, but if you’re going to engage in high law enforcement interdiction incentive activities, being judicious about who you share such knowledge with and circumspect in public commentary may lessen your risks of being caught.

Just sayin’.

None of which takes away his absolute right to have and say those things.

‘Wrong-Thinking is Punishable’

These types of anti-government beliefs, according to the New Zealand newspaper Waikato Times, violate the “fit and proper person” clause as defined by New Zealand law, which is a requirement for anyone who applies for or possesses a firearm license. The New Zealanders who allegedly harbored anti-government views were discovered though a national intelligence operation known as “Operation Belfast,” which targeted ordinary citizens and was orchestrated by New Zealand police. [More]

Hey, they’re “just following orders.”

The fact that you want a gun to protect your sovereignty is all the proof we bneed to keep you from having one.

Besides, what sovereignty?

Doesn’t this narcissist have a nanny to knock up?

Nothing like being lectured on what it means to be an American by a “dual citizen” whose father was a Nazi,

I’ve been warning against the Austrian Oaf for like, forever, including telling the “gun groups” who wouldn’t listen that they were being duped.
