What that also means is that Menendez, a huge proponent of disarming law-abiding Americans, is designated a “prohibited person,” forbidden by federal (and New Jersey) law from owning a gun. [More]
A universal truth is that those who demand to control us can’t — or won’t –control themselves.
A former police detective in Kansas left five suicide letters before fatally shooting himself as he was about to stand trial last month over allegations that he sexually assaulted and terrorized vulnerable Black women for decades, investigators announced Tuesday…The 71-year-old was facing six felony counts of violating women’s civil rights. Prosecutors say he preyed on female residents in poor neighborhoods, demanding sexual favors and sometimes threatening to harm or jail their relatives if they refused. [More]
Thus ends the saga…
So, what did the letters say?

Despite what the FBI has become today, Joe Biden should never have allowed their murderer, Leonard Peltier, to walk out of a prison’s front gate a free man. [More]
Way to pay ’em back for all the election interference help!
I’m inclined to trust Lee Williams’ judgment because I’ve found him to be the best pure 2A reporter out there. That said, I understand the comments following his article about not trusting a thing the FBI says, and that’s on them. And in reality, it’s not what the FBI has become today– before Ruby Ridge and Waco three decades past, they were a reflection of Hoover from the inception, and we’ve seen how he regarded our rights:

Yeah, we bent over backwards to give the guy everything we could– what more do they want?

NYPD top cop, who abruptly resigned amid sex-for-OT allegations, was shot on Staten Island in the 90s over alleged love triangle [More]
So, yeah he’s been a self-serving swine his entire career and got away with it because no one dared derail his politically-mandated DEI path to the top and because the entire damn NYPD is the corrupt enforcement wing of the Democrat machine and always has been, public fawning over Tom Selleck and Blue Bloods notwithstanding…

This seems as good a place as any to share an email I sent to the editor of American Handgunner asking him to edit out a line from a column he invited me to write (I’ll let you know when it’s published):
[W]ith the emerging scandal with Matt Gaetz on pretty damning charges of paid sex with a minor, I have made a suggested change on page two of the article — I’m no longer comfortable assessing him as “a good choice” for AG under the current cloud. If true, someone blackmailable would be a terrible choice, regardless of his understanding of the issue. So, I deleted a sentence marked by a strikethrough, and made a minor change to the next sentence, both in red. Your choice, of course, and it could just be politics. I go by what I’d do if someone falsely accused me of something so disturbing and aberrant, and resigning would not be on the table.
