Desperate Measures

We sure live in interesting times.

A New Phase

In for a penny, in for a pound… and the cooperation means some in the Mexican government have picked a side that there’s no coming back from.

Gun Kapos, Quislings, and Fudds, Oh My

In budget address, Gov. Mills takes swipe at gun safety citizen initiative [More]

Before celebrating this as a Road to Damascus conversion, keep in mind her preferred due process violation for disarming citizens relies on “Only Ones” (yellow flag) not family members (red flag). What struck me more than that:

Maine is the only state to have a yellow flag law, which Mills helped draft with help from the pro-gun Sportsmans Alliance of Maine.

Holiday Road

Gov. DeSantis announces ‘Second Amendment Summer’ gun tax holiday as part of budget proposal – The budget proposal states that from Memorial Day to July 4, guns and ammo will be tax free [More]

That’s one way to mitigate the “Trump slump.”

Cathy Swerdlow was delighted to play Grinch. She’s hoping this time to get more than 37 views.

We’re the Only Ones Liquor Talking Enough

Boston police detective charged with drunk driving after Brookline crash… McKeown was swearing at the other driver and blaming him for the accident… He initially refused when officers attempted to conduct field sobriety tests and stated “Trooper, do you understand who I am?” [More]

What an @$$hole. Can you imagine being at this oinker’s mercy, especially after he’s had a few?

I’m a firm believer that how a person behaves when drunk does not excuse them, but instead shows what they’re really like with the filters removed.

A Reminder to Our Subjects on Who’s Still in Charge

—– Forwarded Message —–

Subject: ATF FFL ALERT – ATLANTA FD

This is an important message from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. All FFLs should be aware that Machinegun Conversion Devices (MCDs) is a part, or a combination of parts, designed to modify a semi-automatic firearm so it is capable of firing automatically more than one shot by a single function of the trigger. These devices, often called switches, chips, auto sears are considered machineguns under the law. The possession, manufacture, and/or sale of machine gun conversion devices without proper licensing is a federal offense.

Please see the attach flyer which illustrates different Machinegun Conversion Devices (MCDs). These devices are defined as machineguns under the National Firearms Act, even when not installed.

See, right after “shall not be infringed” imagine it saying “except for…”

I’m told “This is NOT about Forced Reset Trigger (FRT); Which are legal.”

For now.

Still no action from President Trump…

Speaking of Being Woke…

People in the home reported being woken up by the sound of a gunshot. They found the 4-year-old and a 2-year-old child at the foot of Young’s bed with the weapon. Young, who admitted to keeping the gun under her pillow every night, was the only person in the home who owned a firearm, police said. [More]

And she slept through that? Anybody do a blood test on her?

Tell me this isn’t the best reason ever to force “safe storage laws” on you and me.

We’re the Only Ones Unaccountable Enough

“We’ve been arguing for years that Mansur was unarmed and was shot in the back and killed in cold blood. And today, a federal jury of nine unanimously agreed with us,” Dennis’ attorney, Javad Khazaeli, said. Officers involved were not charged. [More]

Preponderance of evidence vs. beyond a reasonable doubt…

A Self-Created Problem

Under current law, New York’s governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik’s seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump’s second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats’ 215 members. [More]

So why does Trump think it’s more important to have a UN ambassador?
