Lest Ye Be Judged

A Massachusetts judge openly confessed in court that she knew she was rolling the dice by giving a light sentence to a career criminal with a 20-year rap sheet packed with violence, guns, and assault convictions. She did it anyway. Now Tyler Brown is back in custody after opening fire with 50 to 60 rounds on a busy Cambridge roadway, critically injuring two innocent drivers. [More]

So… what do you think’s gonna happen to her?

Gimme Five!

The question is this. Since September of 2025, how many federal government lawsuits from Trump’s Department of Justice have been filed in support of the Second Amendment against gun control jurisdictions across the country? Five times. [Watch]

I’m in a mood today. I see stuff like this and my first thought is it’s a way to turn the heat down for a bit to keep the frog from jumping.

Must Be an Election Year

Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04) introduced the Freedom from Taxes Act, landmark legislation that fully repeals the remaining excise taxes imposed on machine guns and destructive devices under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill also eliminates the Special Occupational Tax (SOT) on Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), delivering significant tax relief to law-abiding gun owners and America’s firearms industry. [More]

Now remove all the other sentences and we have a deal.

Anyway, I’m safe. For now.

And PLEASE Don’t Throw Me in That Briar Patch!

Black families, donors, and athletes should boycott college athletic events in states that refuse to illegally gerrymander districts in favor of black politicians, according to the NAACP. [More]

That sounds as bad as the comfy chair

I wonder if they realize how many young black athlete’s lives that will ruin, and how many will then end up being “disproportionately represented in the justice system”…

Hey, who else can say “CP”…?
