O Canada

Remember when the RCMP broke into homes of a neighborhood and stole firearms from them, while the owners had evacuated due to flooding? [More]

And:

CBRPS has a cattle coral drive-through set up for licensed owners to turn in their guns for the grab. You don’t get out, you just roll up and officers come to your vehicle to retrieve them. [More]

I remember when Sgt. Preston was the good guy. Now, Dudley Do-Right has transitioned into Snidely Whiplash.

Mag Dump

In a filing in the DC Court of Appeals last month in a criminal matter, the United States moved to vacate the appellant’s conviction under D.C. Code § 7-2506.01(b) for possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, because “[i]t is the United States’s position that § 7-2506.01(b) is unconstitutional.” The DOJ also says they would not charge a similarly situated defendant today.

I’d say it’s about time, but that’s on previous administrations.

We should let this one know it’s done good.

One Man Can Make a Difference

Ordinary Ohio citizen calls out illegal Cincinnati festival gun ban — and wins! [More]

This is advocacy activism at its finest.

Having seen the alternative, stories like this restore my faith and inspire me.

We all see ways every day where we can make a difference. Anyone who can’t think of any isn’t trying and anyone who doesn’t try isn’t helping.

Fortunate Son

Twenty-one-year-old Dalton Lee Janiczek, who has been described as the entitled son of a prominent Pennsylvania lawyer, is sitting in jail and facing a litany of serious criminal charges, including the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. He is potentially facing years in prison for an incident that started with a simple traffic stop and ended with Janiczek allegedly running over a Plymouth, P.A., police officer multiple times, and ramming another police vehicle before being arrested.

Welcome to reality, Dalton!

May it be as rewarding to you as you have earned.

Off Target

Don’t ignore horrifying attacks on African Christians… Today’s Nigeria does not look like that of my youth. Climate change, capitalism, debt, corruption, the COVID-19 crisis and shifting donor trends have all caused more poverty, less hope and more conflict. [More]

He did it! He missed the barn!

This is “conservative Fox News“?

Figures he’d miss the elephant in the room enabling the genocide.

Go figure. All that death and no white supremacists…

We’re the Only Ones Bullied Enough

Report exposes culture of hazing and humiliation at Cape Cod police academy [More]

There’s truth to the observation that most bullies were bullied. So guess who they’re prepping these attack dogs for.

There’s also truth to another observation: No job is worth your dignity, and anyone who tolerates and submits to abuse will only ensure more of it.

Banking on Disarmament

Major digital currency’s terms of use: No firearm, ammunition purchases [More]

I thought crypto was meant to facilitate freedom, not become a controlling trap.

No way to ensure it’s “legal tender for all debts public and private”…?
