Meanwhile, Across the Pond…
We’re the Only Ones Incompetent Enough
The head of the NYPD’s Aviation Unit was booted from the elite squad this week after trying to block the feds from probing his dangerous mishaps… Aviation’s Commanding Officer Winston Faison was an “incompetent boob” who had numerous breaches in safety as he attempted to make himself the unit’s head helicopter instructor… [More]
But…but…but he made history for being “the first”…

Wait for the ‘All Clear’
Cornell Grad Killed in N.Y.C. Skyscraper Shooting Was Shot After Stepping Out of Panic Room- Julia Hyman, 27, was apparently checking whether the coast was clear when she was shot by Shane Tamura on Monday [More]
Switching to a different case, as sympathetic as I may be to the devastating loss someone like Manuel Oliver suffered, that all takes a back seat in light of his demands that the law render us all equally as helpless in life or death situations as this poor girl.
Someone’s grief is not a claim on our rights. I’m sorry they’ve been driven crazy. But attack me and mine, and motivations don’t matter.

We’re the Only Ones Strapped Enough
After telling B.K. she was “insanely attractive,” the summary order states Cook sent her a picture of his crotch while sitting in his personal vehicle with a gun in his waistband, telling her he was “strapped.” [More]
Sure knows how to sweet-talk a gal… I guess that’s the difference between a trained, professional community hero and us “civilians”…

Money Where His Mouth Is
In spite of my disagreements with some of Ammoland’s choices, they do far more good work, than bad. [More]
I challenge his downvoters to follow suit.
It’s Not Like They’re ‘Arms’ Suitable for Militia Service or Anything…
Machine guns are dangerous weapons that aren’t commonly “possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,” and a law that criminalizes their possession is therefore consistent with the tradition of firearm regulation in the country, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said Thursday. [More]
So… rather than being the cure-all for what ails us, “common use” can be a trap to limit and ultimately render RKBA obsolete?

A Public/Private Partnership
Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel. [More]
Treason or incompetence? Why not both?
We’re the Only Ones In Policy Enough
Brooklyn cop accused of hitting car, leaving scene, assaulting driver [More]
Speeding like a demon, going through red lights, recklessly endangering the public… But it’s OK because:
Police determined that Stein didn’t break any policies during the confrontation.
And remember: Back the Blue!

Attack of the Human Supremacists
None Dare Call It Treason
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger took $50,000 from a Chinese businessman tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to campaign finance records. [More]
Hey, she’s just helping them prevent “human rights violations.”

We’re the Only Ones Expelling Enough
A Heavy Silence
Mike was committed to chronicling developments in Trentadue’s case. If you’re not familiar with it, take some time to learn.

Gun Slump
Gun Sales Dip Below 1 Million for First Time in 6 Years [More]
Lotta reasons for that, including guns last a long time if you take care of them. And it looks like diversity isn’t the salvation some are acting like it will be.
Me, I’m more concerned about downstream effects: No sales, no advertising.
And there’s more of that to come.
Why Can’t We Be Friends?
This gives Cuomo the chance to be the candidate who can turn the page, and lift us out of hating each other. [More]
You really don’t get it, do you, David Marcus?
Meanwhile, Over in the Great White North
Nova Scotia’s trial systems are now “off limits,” with camping, hiking, fishing and even driving through the woods now forbidden. And those who get caught disobeying the ban, could be served with a hefty $25,000 fine. [More]
Why would President Trump want to make people who vote for and tolerate this a 51st state?

To Themselves and Your Posterity
California’s AB 495 is the most dangerous bill we’ve ever seen—and it’s being pushed right now by lawmakers in Sacramento. This bill would allow any non-related adult, a neighbor, teacher, ex-relative, or even a complete stranger, to take custody of your child without your knowledge or consent. No background check. No court order. No parent’s signature. Just a piece of paper. [More]
If they can take your guns, why would they be afraid to take your kids?

Promise vs. Reality
This Ends All “Gun Rosters” Nationwide [Watch]
Sorry, but “0% chance of being enacted” hardly seems worth the hyperbole.

We’re the Only Ones Illegal Enough
Illegal Immigrant Working as Police Officer in Maine Arrested After Attempting to Buy Firearm [More]
So, nothing will happen to the ones who hired him?
With foreign nationals empowered by the state to infringe on the Second Amendment-articulated rights of citizens, who needs UN Blue Helmets?

Bores to Death
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” [More]
We’ve seen where that “discussion” ends.
